3．Five Ways to Build Self-Confidence
Walk Faster．
One of the easiest ways to tell how a person feels about herself is to examine her walk．People with confidence walk quickly．They have places to go，people to see，or important work to do．Even if you aren't in a hurry，you can increase your self-confidence by putting some energy in your step．（36）B．
（37）F
One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech．Unluckily，chances to listen to a great speaker are few．You can fill this need by creating a personal speech．Write a 30～60-second speech that focuses on your strengths and goals then recite it aloud whenever you need a confidence push．
Sit in the Front Row．
In school，offices and some other public places people always sit at the back of the room，（38）A This is for lack of self-confidence．By deciding to sit in the front row，you can get over this meaningless fear and build your self-confidence．
Speak up．
During group discussions many people never express their opinions because they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid．（39）GBy making an effort to express your opinions at least once in every group discussion，you'll become a better public speaker，more confident in your own thoughts．
Along the same lines as personal appearance，physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence．（40）DBy making your body fit and strong，you improve your physical appearance，refresh yourself，and learn something positive．
A．Most people prefer that because they're afraid of being noticed．
B．Walking 25% faster will make you look and feel more important．
C．In fact most people feel good after a walk．
D．If you're out of shape，you'll feel unattractive and less energetic．
E．Listen to an Inspiring Speech．
F．Create a Personal Speech．
G．In fact most people are dealing with the same fear．

分析 本文詳細(xì)講述了建立自信的幾種方法，包括創(chuàng)辦個(gè)人演講，多坐前排，學(xué)會(huì)說話以及建立自己外表的自信等．

解答 36．答案B．根據(jù)本段標(biāo)題"Walk Faster"可知，此段主要講述了"走得快"是可以建立自信的．通讀選項(xiàng)，選項(xiàng)中提及到walk的有BC選項(xiàng)．文中"People with confidence walk quickly"提到要走得快，而不是單純地走．故選B．
37．答案F．通讀全段可知，本段講述的是演講對建立自信的影響．選項(xiàng)中提到演講的有EF選項(xiàng)．從文中"One of the best ways to build confidence is listening to an inspiring speech．Unluckily，chances to listen to a great speaker are few．You can fill this need by creating a personal speech"可知，建立自信的最好方法雖然是聽一個(gè)演講，但是機(jī)會(huì)卻很少，所以作者建議大家可以創(chuàng)造一個(gè)演講．故選F．
38．答案A．根據(jù)題目"Sit in the Front Row"要坐在前排和后一句"This is for lack of self-confidence"可推測，此空應(yīng)該是寫不敢坐在前排的一些消極的想法，通讀選項(xiàng)可知，A項(xiàng)更適合．故選A．
39．答案G．根據(jù)前文"they're afraid that people will judge them for their saying something stupid"可知，人們害怕其他人因?yàn)椴粫?huì)說話而批判自己．而選項(xiàng)中，G項(xiàng)也提到"are dealing with the same fear"處理這種恐懼．故選G．
40．答案D．前文提到"Along the same lines as personal appearance，physical fitness has huge effect on self-confidence"，一個(gè)人的外表和身體素質(zhì)對自信也有影響，則可推測空白處也會(huì)提到身體素質(zhì)或者外形．通讀選項(xiàng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，選項(xiàng)D中提到"shape"．故選D．

點(diǎn)評 七選五是一類完成性閱讀．在題型上和完型很類似．在解題時(shí)，要在理解文章整體的情況下充分考慮語境和空格前后的句子，注意句子間的邏輯關(guān)系．一定要把握信息詞．

Get inspired．
Read stories，watch movies，listen to other people who have achieved what you want to achieve．Imagine what they had to go through to get to where they are．Imagine how big the heart is of some of your biggest heroes and how badly they wanted what they achieved．（40）E

7．Nowadays people realize the importance of one's intelligence，（25）while/butthey neglect non-intelligence factors．According to a study，American psychologists discovered the main cause of differences in intelligence is not intelligence itself，but non-intelligence factors including the desire（26）to learn（learn），will-power and self-confidence．
Quite a number of teachers and parents don't pay attention to （27）cultivating（cultivate） these factors．Some parents are worried（28）when/iftheir children fail to do well in their studies．They blame either genetic factors，state of poor nutrition，or laziness，but they never take into consideration these non-intelligence factors．Some teachers don't inquire into such reasons as why students do poorly．They simply give them more courses and exercises，or even punish or laugh at them．After all these，students lose self-confidence．Some give themselves up as hopeless，feeling defeated．（29）Othersmay take wrong or evil ways because they are sick of learning．An investigation of more than 1，000 middle school students showed that 46.5% of them were afraid of learning （30）because ofexaminations； and 10.3% were sick of learning．
It is clear that lack of cultivation of non-intelligence factors（31）has been/is（be） a main barrier to intelligence development in teenagers．It even causes an imbalance between physiological and psychological development among students．
Some experts have put forward proposals about（32）howparents and teachers cultivate students'non-intelligence factors．They should be teenagers'best psychologist and fully understand them and they can help them to pursue the objectives of learning，increasing their interests in their studies and toughening their willpower．
