Power of Self Talk

Life is like a big swing, dangling between the depths of happiness and sadness. To overcome tough times you have to cheer yourself up. When you are feeling low and confused, this can be done effectively by self-talk.

    1     It can be effectively used for soul searching. When talking to ourselves, we hardly lie as our conscience controls our speech. Self talk is useful because when we speak out our thoughts, it makes a larger effect on our brain.     2     This repetition talks and thoughts pass message to our brain.

Self-talk is a software, which when properly loaded onto our mind directs ourselves for better results and a healthy mind. Actually many times in our life, we find others advising us to do better in studies, sports, life etc. We usually blank our cars out of their suggestions.     3     And when something comes from within you, you always try your best to do it.

If you are a shy person and you want to be the outgoing person like your friend next door, all you need to do is talk to yourself.     4    “ I am a natural born speaker.” “I do like people and speaking comes naturally to me.” “I just have to be ready to listen and speak”. If you are highly confident to do better, there is no better motivator (动机) than self-talk     5    .

A.So guys start talking.
B.Every person loves to be loved.
C.Self-talk can thus improve our status.
D.Self-talk is a way of talking to oneself.
E.It is because it doesn’t come from within us.
F.Tell yourself with all the sincerity and emotions that “I can be like him.”
G.Our brain then receives the same message from the mind as well as the ears.

How to Get the Best Hotel Deal
Taking the entire family on vacation can add up quickly — flights, rental car, gas, meals, snacks, and of course, hotels. However, by doing some research and using three little words, you could end up saving a lot of money on accommodations.

First, search hotel booking sites like TripAdvisor or Expedia and check out the hotel rates in your location for the dates you would like to book. Take down all the prices you find online for that hotel. But even if you find a steal of a deal or “a special discount”, don’t press the book button on the website just yet.
After researching prices online, experts say the best way to get the lowest hotel rate is to call the hotel directly — not any of the customer service or 1-800 numbers that could be listed as a contact number, especially for a chain hotel. Then you’re going to drop some magic words. While you might be tempted to ask for “the best deal” or “the lowest rate”, your secret weapon here is to use the phrase “cheapest nonrefundable rate.” According to experts at Travel+Leisure, that phrase triggers hotel staff to search for the room that will cost you the least for your vacation.
If you do end up trying to negotiate a better price, mention the numbers you found online and then reduce those prices by 20 percent. Apparently hotels pay a hefty fee to be listed on hotel booking sites, and that 20 percent could actually mean more money than they would get if you booked through one of them.
Just don’t wait until the last minute to score a deal, because that can lead to paying more, not less. Fred Lalonde, founder of the travel service Hopper, told Travel+ Leisure that the best deals on hotels are usually available two to three months ahead of the vacation date, potentially saving you more than $270 for an eight-day stay.

1. What does the underlined part “three little words” in Paragraph 1 refer to?
A.A special discountB.The best deal
C.The lowest rateD.Cheapest nonrefundable rate.
2. According to the passage, the preferred way to get the best hotel deal is to ________.
A.call the target hotels to bargain with the staff
B.collect and compare the prices found online
C.book hotels just before your departure time
D.turn to hotel booking sites for a discount
