Question

【題目】Answer the questions（根據短文內容回答下列問題）

Everyone has good days and bad days.

Sometimes, you may feel that you're on top of the world and all the questions on your maths test might seem easy. But sometimes you feel frightened or you lose things, and you cannot focus on your school work.

For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem（自尊）is the key to success. They said that kids who feel good about themselves do better in school and have fewer emotional problems than kids who have a low opinion of themselves.

Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable（可愛的）or more upset when you fail at something.

"Forget about self-esteem," says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US. "It's not the important thing. " Crockery's advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about oneself. Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be sad, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.

But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florid a State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person. People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves while people with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.

Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Set out to create or build something. If you fail at something, try to learn from the experience. "The best therapy（藥方）is to know your own weak points," Vohs says. "It's OK to say, 'I'm not so good at that,' and then move on. "

【解析】

這是一篇有關心理學知識的短文，最新研究表明“盲目的、過分的自信是不可取的”。

【1】根據For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem（自尊）is the key to success.可知，20多年來，科學家一直認為，高度的自尊心是成功的關鍵。故填High self-esteem.

【2】根據They said that kids who feel good about themselves do better in school and have fewer emotional problems than kids who have a low opinion of themselves. 可知，科學家們說自我感覺良好的孩子在學校表現更好，情緒問題也比自我評價低的孩子少，也就是說自我評價低的孩子會有更多的情緒問題，所以此處用肯定回答。故填Yes, they do.

【3】根據In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable（可愛的）or more upset when you fail at something. 可知，在某些情況下，當你在某件事情上失敗時，過高的自尊心會使你變得不討人喜歡或者更加沮喪，從而帶來不好的結果，所以此處是當我們在某些事情上失敗時，過高的自尊心會給我們帶來不好的結果。故填When we fail at something.

【4】根據"Forget about self-esteem," says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist at the University of Michigan, US.可知，“忘掉自尊吧”密歇根大學的心理學家珍尼佛·克羅克說道，所以此處克羅克的建議是忘掉自尊。故填Forget about self-esteem.

【5】根據People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves while people with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help. 可知，自尊心強的人往往更看重自己，而自尊心弱的人在需要幫助時更容易依賴朋友，所以此處是當自尊心弱的人需要幫助時更偏向于依賴自己的朋友。故填They are more likely to rely on their friends.

【6】本題為開放性題目，答案言之有理即可。根據The best therapy（藥方）is to know your own weak points.可知，最好的藥方就是知道自己的弱點，也就是說我們如果在某事上失敗了，我們可以從這次失敗的經歷中總結經驗教訓，因為經驗是最好的老師。故填I think it's right. Because experience is the best teacher.
