3 . I opened my car window and called out “Ma’am! Ma’am!” The only lady in the parking lot looked around until she saw me. “I just wanted to tell how nice you look today,” I said. “The colors you have on are beautiful on you.” Her face registered surprise for a second, and then she smiled. “Thank you!” she called back. Her final steps to her car seemed lighter, and I smiled to myself.

I grew up with very few cheerleaders in my own life. When I was in the middle of fighting a battle for my life, I had been confirmed depression, along with anxiety. It has taken many years and more effort and determination than I thought I was capable of recovering from this illness. With no cheerleaders in my court, I fought this battle alone. I am proud of the progress I have made thus far. There are times when I thought, if only I had had someone to hold me and say, “Susan, I believe in you. You can do this, and I’ll be there every step of the way.” I wonder how much sooner I would have recovered. I’ll never know.

So I have made it a point in recent years to praise people, especially women and girls. Instead of just thinking that someone looks nice or did a great job, I say it out loud. It doesn’t take long, and it’s easy. So, I wonder, why don’t more people do this? As women, we have learned from our role models to be quiet. We downplay (淡化) our own achievements even when we do receive a rare compliment (恭维). Now, when I compliment someone and she denies, I say to her, “Just say thank you.” Most women are relieved that they don’t have to deny the compliment; they can accept the praise without guilt.

Cheerleading doesn’t require any skills. It only takes a few seconds, although you do have to remind yourself to do it. Eventually, it becomes a habit.

10 . 阅读下面短文, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Being kind is an important part of giving our own lives purpose.     1     Being kind makes it possible for us to interact with people more positively and communicate more effectively. Kindness has its true source deep within you, and it’s something that everyone can learn by choice.

    2    

At its most basic, kindness is about caring genuinely (真诚地) for others around you, wanting the best for them, and recognizing them in the same wants, needs, and even fears that you have too. Kindness is warmth, patience. trust. loyalty, and gratefulness.

Be kind to yourself.

Many people make the error of trying to be kind to others while at the same time not focusing on being kind to themselves.     3     But more often than not, it’s sourced in the inability to know themselves better. Take time to become more self-aware and use this learning to be kinder to both yourself and to others.

Cultivate (培养) kindness for the good of your own health.

Improved mental health and happiness come from thinking more positively.     4     While kindness is about giving and being open to others, giving kindness returns a sense of well- being and connection to us that improves our own mental state and health.

Make a habit of focusing on kindness.

It is possible for everyone to develop the habit of kindness. Spend a month focusing on kindness every day. After completing this directed concentration, you’ll notice significant changes in your life, feel better about who you are as a person, and notice that other people treat you better.     5    

A．Observe others carefully.

B．Care for others sincerely.

C．It can be achieved by helping others.

D．It also benefits the lives of other people around us.

E．And kindness is exactly a positive state of mind.

F．Actually, you can easily find that kindness is rewarded in practice.
