2 . Self-criticism (自我批评) is a mental habit of negatively analyzing and judging ourselves and our actions. If we don’t find a way to overcome self-criticism, we won’t be able to live a happy and satisfying life.     1    .

Stop Negative Thoughts

Thought stopping is one of the best secrets of how to overcome self-criticism. Interrupting your thoughts helps you change how you think about yourself, thus helping you feel better.     2    . However, with enough practice, you will make it.

    3    

Another strategy is to replace negative self-critical thoughts with positive realistic statements. For instance, if you set a goal, be realistic about it by giving yourself enough time to achieve it. In fact, having a constant desire to achieve immediate success can ruin your confidence.

Avoid Perfectionism

Another secret is to let go of the need to be perfect. It’s all right to set high standards for yourself.     4    . In addition, desiring to be perfect in everything you pursue can prevent your progress.

Stop Comparing Yourself to Others

    5    . However, it’s important to note that comparing yourself to your peers, friends, or family can increase dissatisfaction and unhappiness. That said, the best tip on how to overcome self-criticism is to practice self-acceptance.

A．Be realistic

B．Focus on strengths

C．It’s normal to feel like that everyone has a better life than you

D．Remember it’s from your mistakes that you get to improve yourself

E．If you’ve been stuck in negative thoughts, here’s what you need to do

F．It’s important to note that changing your negative thought patterns can take time

G．However, falling short of your goals and expectations can make you feel worthless

3 . Are you constantly saying words like “I am so tired”, “my mind is so exhausted”, “I need to take a break”, and “I am unable to handle the pressure anymore” and so on. At this moment you start thinking that you need more time to rest.     1    

Energy is not just a physical concept.     2     Just think for a second that you are going to exercise now but your mind keeps on telling you that you are tired. So your exercise session will be postponed or it will be least productive.

    3     When you start telling yourself that you are tired, the body performs in the same manner. However, when you get rid of all the negative thoughts, the positive energy starts flowing through your body, and you will see the difference that it makes.

Affirmations (肯定) are positive phrases that can help you deal with negative thoughts and emotions. In addition, they assist you in visualizing the desired outcome and reprogram your mind.

Now, how can positive affirmations be useful? First, you need to identify the negative thoughts that you need to get rid of. You have to be very clear about what you want.     4     Moreover, you must select the affirmations you truly believe in.

Start practicing these affirmations every day.     5     Remember consistency is the key to success. You can speak them cloud, in front of the mirror, record them and listen to them. You can speak them aloud in the morning or at night before going to bed. Gradually, you will see that these positive energy affirmations will have a positive impact on your life.

A．Never skip the session.

B．It is rather a state of mind

C．You’d better not slow down once you begin.

D．The key to staying energetic lies in your mind.

E．Then you can prepare a list of positive energy affirmations that best suit you.

F．It is a crucial step for you to make full use of positive affirmations.

G．These are the negative thoughts in your mind that are a barrier to your growth and energy.

4 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一个完整的短文。

I still remember how nervous I felt doing some things for the first time. You’d think that after a lot of first times the butterflies-in-stomach feeling would disappear. But here’s what happened a month ago.

“Please come to the chess club tomorrow,” Mareya said to me. “I know you’re going to love it!” “I’ve never even played chess(国际象棋),” I said. “It seems super hard.”

“I went last week, and it was extremely fun!” said Mareya. “Really?” I said, not convinced.

“Really. Also, the club needs more people to keep it going.” Mareya smiled.

“Listen. If you try it, I’ll do my silly rabbit dance in the middle of recess (课间休息).” I laughed. “In front of everyone? It’s a deal!”

When I arrived at home. I searched our game shelves. Finally, at the very bottom of the pile, I found a tattered (破旧的) box with a chessboard and plastic chess pieces. I read the instructions carefully. Knights, rooks, bishops, pawns, a king, and a queen — each piece had a special starting place and its own way of moving. My heart sank. I couldn’t possibly memorize all the rules in time. Everyone in the chess club was going to think I was inexperienced!

That night, I dreamed I was in a chess game, and the queens, kings, and knights were laughing at me. Even the knights’ horses were snickering (窃笑)! The next day, I told Mareya I was having second thoughts.

“Please don’t back out,” she said. “Remember our deal.”

“I would like to see your silly rabbit dance,” I said, smiling.

After school, I found the chess club’s meeting room and went inside. I looked around, but Mareya was nowhere in sight! To make matters worse, I didn’t know a single person in the room. Butterflies filled my stomach as I started to head toward the door.

“Hi!” said a friendly woman. “I’m Ms.Martinez.”

“I’m Arizona,” I said. “ I was supposed to meet a friend, but I don’t see her. I’d better get going.” “Well, as long as you ‘re here, why don’t you sit with Joe and Jess and watch their game?”

5 . Self-esteem (自尊) is the ruling view you have of yourself. This includes your beliefs about your inner qualities and how you think others see you. Self-esteem is not always rooted in reality, though.     1    .

Having a healthy self-esteem means seeing yourself in a positive way.     2    . Self-esteem does not equal arrogance. Arrogance, on the other hand, refers to being overly confident about your qualities (regardless of their actual quality). It is actually more commonly associated with someone having low self-esteem. They will tell you how much everyone loves them, what a great job they do at work, and how amazing they are at pretty everything under the sun even though they really wonder if it’s true.

    3    . Surround yourself with people who love themselves. Set small, attainable goals to accomplish. Write a list of your talents, skills, and achievements. Remember that people are not perfect and what’s most important is that you’re trying. Keep houseplants or a small garden so you can see success and how valuable you are overtime (as they grow, so does your confidence). With practice and perseverance, you will win this internal struggle to see yourself-worth.

In serious cases of low self-esteem, you may call in a professional who can help people understand their thought patterns and how those patterns are contributing to problems.     4    . This process, overtime, can help you develop a deeper sense of your own capabilities (outside previously limited beliefs).

Your past doesn’t seal your future. While it’s true that your painful past can change the way you see yourself, it’s just as much the case that your mind can be changed again. You have the power to shape a new self-perception. It will take some work but your entire life will be touched with the power that only comes from someone believing in themselves.     5    , you can improve yourself-esteem and see how everything else changes as a result.

A．With some lifestyle changes and support

B．The real test is whether they can learn from their mistakes

C．Some ideas to build yourself-esteem may include as follows

D．You see your faults first when thinking about things you've done

E．It’s about having a stable sense of your capabilities and a deep trust in yourself

F．He helps to treatment al problems and relieve symptoms of low self-esteem

G．Understanding self-esteem better might be the key to unlocking your own self-worth.

7 . Life can be wonderful, but realistically, it isn’t always so, no matter how hard you try.     1    . However, it mostly depends on the amount of effort you put in. And what about bad things? The mere fact of living means you’ll go through hard times, that you won’t always get what you want, and you’ll need resilience to get through it.

Resilience is the ability to adapt to adversity (逆境) in a positive way. Resilient people are those who can become strengthened by difficult situations.     2    . Resilience involves, among other things, being able to effectively regulate your emotions. This will allow you to face difficult situations and overcome obstacles.

Another great thing about resilience is that it is not determined by genetics or personality.     3    . Instead, it develops throughout your life as you interact with your environment.

To maximize your resilience, you need to know which factors influence it, both personal and environmental. That way, you can work on each factor and learn how to adapt to adversity in a positive way.

    4    . Obviously, this doesn’t just occur immediately after an unfortunate event. It’s a gradual process that comes with time and often, the help of a qualified psychologist.

Next, it’s important to be able to see the good side of the situation. In other words, be optimistic — just don’t forget to be realistic. You shouldn’t focus on the negative things and forget about the positive,     5    .

Lastly, having a sense of humor can help to improve your resilience greatly. Being able to laugh at yourself or the situation is a worthwhile tool that helps you adapt to different obstacles.

A．but nobody is born knowing how to adapt

B．Some good things will happen purely by chance

C．First of all, you have to accept what has happened

D．Firstly, you should keep all external factors in mind

E．But it’s more than just “seeing the good side of things”

F．That is, you’re not born with a limited capacity for resilience

G．but you also shouldn’t elevate the positive to an impossible level

8 . Studies have shown optimistic thinking leads to a positive attitude and that people with positive attitudes live healthier, happier and longer lives. Here are some benefits of staying positive in life.

Better feeling. When you’re positive, you will feel happy and satisfied with what you are doing. Moreover, you’ll feel better about life.     1    

More energy. When you have less stress and worry in life, you will have extra energy to do what you love, and you will be active. Being stressful and not being able to see the bright side of life steal your energy.     2     Energize yourself by simply changing the way you think.

Great first impression. If you positively think about your priority (优先权), you will always make a great first impression. A good first impression depends largely on good personalities.     3     Besides, a good first impression can have a big impact on the development of your future relationships—both personal and professional.

Better health.     4     Even scientific studies have shown that people with positive attitudes are less likely to suffer from depression and that they get ill more rarely than the negative thinkers. Positive thinkers are often less stressed, have lower blood pressure and are often more active.

    5     Fear results from negative thoughts. Being a positive thinker removes fear. Courage comes from the fact that you can deal with whatever happens in your life if you stay positive.

A．More courage.

B．Positive lifestyle.

C．Therefore, stay positive and you’ll feel happy.

D．Positive thinking is very beneficial to your health.

E．You will feel tired and less interested in the things you love.

F．People, in general, are attracted to kind and friendly personalities.

G．To be positive is to know and truly believe you are a valuable person.

9 . My 70-year-old mother was fighting an 18-year battle with cancer. It was a battle I knew she would someday______.Maybe soon. And it______my heart to think about that.

Mom and I had a good relationship, but we just weren’t______in the way I was with my daughter. Mom and I never______or said “I love you” like I often do with my daughter.

I carefully______the fabric(面料) I thought she would enjoy, and maybe I was still trying to make a______between Mom and myself in this way. I always thought what had______her to quilting late in life. I imagined asking her for______       on how to make the right stitches(针脚). Sometimes I’d______us sitting together in the living room watching TV together.

Finally, I got the quilt Mom______ me. I opened it and what I saw caught my______.It was exactly the same fabric I had chosen for my daughter.

10 . This morning, a former student sent me a message, telling me he is living a happy life. He said he often thinks of me and that he especially misses my _________ classes.

My thoughts went back to that shy, overweight boy who _________ to our school in his fifth grade. He was quiet and _________. Some of the boys teased him about his lack of _________ ability. When they played games, Gibby would often be left standing alone. Several times I went to the playground and asked to _________ a team. I would call out several _________ and then, around the fourth or fifth spot, I would call Gibby and a few others who never seemed to get _________ by their peers. My team may not have been the best, but we were the happiest and definitely the most _________ and loyal.

That spring I decided to give my students more _________. We began by running, but after one or two circles around the playground, Gibby would lag far behind, __________. However, after a month, he lost a few pounds and could __________ the group easier. Then we added floor exercises to the program. Gibby was still there, stretching and bending, lifting and kicking, as __________ as ever. He never gave up or made __________. Many students admired his __________ and in time, he gained confidence and began to smile and talk more. He was no longer the new kid.
