One evening I went out and left my 17-year-old son in charge of his 8-year-old brother and 4-year-old sister.On this occasion,the work was made less troublesome by the presence of his girlfriend.I left with complete confidence that the older children would do a wonderful job of babysitting the younger children.Later,I discovered that complete confidence was the last thing I should have left home with.

I had decided to return home earlier than planned so that my son and his girlfriend could go out.I called home with this happy news.But instead of hearing his cheerful,grateful voice on the other end of the line,all I heard was the sound of a telephone ringing.

It was,I should point out,after 10 p.m.,when the two younger children should have been in bed.and when the two older children should have been answering the phone.“I’ll give him a lesson.”I said.I decided they must be outside.Why they might be outside at 10∶30 on a winter night I had no idea,but it was the only explanation I could come up with.

Finally,in desperation,I called his girlfriend’s house.After what seemed like countless rings,his girlfriend answered.“Yes,”she said brightly,“He’s right here.”

He came on the phone.I was not my usual calm,rational(理智的)self.After all,one of the rules of survival for modern parents is that you can’t trust modem teenagers.“Where are the children?”I said.He said they were with him.They had done nothing wrong.My son had taken the younger children over to his girlfriend’s house just for ice cream and cake.This was too good to be believed.Well,it turns out that I shouldn’t have believed it.It was only part of the truth.

The following Saturday evening we were at my parents home,celebrating my birthday.My oldest son gave me the children’s gifts.Mounted and framed were a series of lovely color photographs of my children,dressed in their best clothes,and wearing their most wonderful expressions.They are pictures to treasure a lifetime,all taken by the father of my son’s girlfriend.

Nothing succeeds like confidence. When you are truly confident, it radiates (輻射) from you like sunlight, and attracts success to you like a magnet (磁鐵). Besides, those who are self-confident can in turn inspire (encourage) confidence in others: their audience, their peers, their bosses, their customers, and their friends. And gaining the confidence of others is one of the key ways in which a self-confident person finds success.
So how can we build a sense of self-confidence and prepare ourselves on the way to success?
First, do what you believe to be right, even if others mock or criticize you for it. Believe in yourself and believe that you can do it in any situations, because if you believe you can, then you really will. The belief keeps you searching for answers, which means that pretty soon you will get them.
Second, govern your behavior based on what other people think. What’s more important, be willing to take risks and go the extra miles to achieve better results, in which case mistakes can not be avoided. Always be ready to admit your mistakes, and learn from them. Next, work hard to settle the problems in order to cover up your mistakes before anyone notices. Building self-confidence is readily achievable, as long as you have the focus and determination to carry things through. And what’s even better is that the things you’ll do to build self-confidence will also build success -- after all, your confidence will come from real, solid achievement. No one can take this away from you!
As you sow, so will you reap. With your perseverance (毅力) and improvement, you are getting closer to success. At this stage, wait for others to give congratulations and compliments on your achievements. “Thanks, I really worked hard on it. I’m pleased you recognize my efforts.” The congratulations and compliments from others will promote you to gain further success.
Self-confidence is extremely important in almost every aspect of our lives, and it is no wonder that so many people struggle to find it. Self-confidence really can be learned and built on. Besides, whether you’re working on your own self-confidence or building the confidence of people around you, it’s well worth the effort!
【小題1】Those who are truly confident _______.

A.succeed without effort and hard work
B.encourage people around to become confident
C.a(chǎn)ppear more attractive and thus become successful
D.gain the confidence of others and feel successful
【小題2】The underlined word “mock” (Paragraph 2) is closest in meaning to _______.
A.praiseB.imitate (模仿)C.punishD.laugh at
【小題3】When others congratulate us on our achievements, we are supposed to _______.
A.praise them in return
B.gain further improvement
C.politely accept the compliments
D.expect them to congratulate you again
【小題4】Which of the following proverbs (sayings) best goes with Paragraph 4?
A.Look before your leap.
B.It is no use crying over spilt milk.
C.Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration.
D.Learn from past mistakes and avoid future ones.
【小題5】The purpose of the text is to _______.
A.tell people how to become successful
B.convince people to do what they believe to be right
C.encourage people to build confidence and achieve success
D.criticize people who lack confidence and thus fail in their career

科目:高中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年湖南省高三上學(xué)期第四次月考英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

There is famous story about British poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge.He was writing a poem when he was interrupted by a knock at the door.

This was an age before telephones.Someone was delivering a message.When Colcridge got back to his poem, he had lost his inspiration.His poetic mood had been broken by the knock on his

door.His unfinished poem, which could otherwise have been a masterpiece, would now never be more than a fragment(碎片,片段).

This story tells how unexpected communication can destroy an important thought, which brings us to the cell phone.

The most common complaint about cell phones is that people talk on them to the annoyance of people around them.But marc damaging may be the cell phone’s disruption of our thoughts.

We have already entered a golden age of little white lies about our call phones, and this is by and large a healthy, productive development." I didn't hear it ring" or " I didn't realize my cell phone had shut off" arc among the lies we tell to give ourselves space where we’re beyond reach.

The notion or idea of being unreachable is not a new concept-we havoc "Do Not Disturb" signs on the doors of hotel rooms. So why must we feel guilty when it comes to cell phones? Why must we apologize if we decide to shut off the phone for a while?

The problem is that we come from a long-established tradition of difficulty with distance communication.Until the recent mass deployment of cell phones, it was easy to communicate with someone next to us or a few feet away, but difficult with someone across town, the country or the

globe.We came to take it for granted.

But cell phones make long-distance communication common, and endanger our time by ourselves.Now time alone, or conversation with someone next to us which cannot be interrupted by a phone, is something to be cherished.Even cell phone devotees, myself usually included, can't help at times wanting to throw their cell phone away, or curse the day they were invented.

But we don't and won't, and there really is no need.All that's required to take back our private time is a general social recognition that we have the right to it.

In other words, we have to develop a healthy contempt for the rings of our phones.Given the case of making and receiving cell phone calls, if we don-t talk to the caller right now, we surely will shortly later.

A cell phone call deserves no greater priority than a random word from a person next to us.Though the call on my cell phone may be the one-in-a-million from Steven Spielberg-who has  finally read my novel and wants to make it his next movie.But most likely it is not, and I'm better

off thinking about the idea I just had for a new story, or the pizza I’ll eat for lunch.

1.What's the point of the anecdote about poet Coleridge in the first three paragraphs?

A.To direct readers' attention to the main topic.

B.To show how important inspiration is to a poet.

C.To emphasize the disadvantage of not having a cell phone.

D.To encourage readers to read the works of this poet.

2.What does the writer thinks about people telling "white lies" about their cell phones?

A.It is a way of signaling that you don-t like the caller.

B.It is natural to tell lies about small things.

C.It is basically a good way to protect one's privacy.

D.We should feel guilty when we can't tell the truth.

3.According to the author, what is the most annoying problem caused by cell phones?

A.People get so bothered by the cell phone rings that they fail to notice anything else.

B.People feel guilty when they are not able to answer their cell phones.

C.Cell phones interrupt people’s private time.

D.With cell phones it is no longer possible to be unreachable.

4.What does the underlined word “contempt” probably mean?

A.Habit.

B.Disrespect.

C.Like.

D.Value.

5.What does last paragraph suggest?

A.A person who calls us from afar deserves more of our attention.

B.Steven Spielberg once called the author to talk about the author’s novel.

C.You should always finish your lunch before you answer a call on the cell phone.

D.Never let cell phones interfere too much with your life.
