is it loving? is it needed? if what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.words possess power: both positive and negative. those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. we can offer hope, build self-esteem(自尊) and motive others to do their best. negative words destroy all those things. will we use our words to hurt or to heal? the choice is ours.56the author argues in the first paragraph that _.awords will never hurt us at allbwords have lasting effects on uscpositive effects last longer than negative effectsdnegative words last longer than positive effects57why should we not feel embarrassed when talking to ourselves?aalmost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.bit does harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone.ctalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the problems.dtalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.58the underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in paragraph 3 means _.ablame ourselves bpunish ourselvescpraise ourselves dtalk to ourselves59which of the following statements would the author agree to?ait is better to think twice before talking to others.bit is impossible for unkind words to be forgotten.cwords always possess long positive effects.dkind words are sometimes not needed at all.b1. the video camera penavailable for 3-day shipmentorder by phone: 1-800-321-1484item 78431; $129.95available for immediate shipmentorder by phone: 1-800-321-1484 this is the pen that has a built-in video camera, capturing videos or still images with a click of its button. ideal for use while secured in a pocket, it can capture up to five hours of video and up to 20,000 images. its battery provides up to two hours of power before requiring a recharge.2. the wristwatch camcorderitem 78098; $149.95 this is the mens watch with an unnoticeable camcorder, so youll always have a camera ready to capture a chance famous person or a pets ridiculous actions. the camera is located at the two-oclock position, yet the watchs hands never make it covered. the cameras rechargeable battery provides up to two hours of use from a four-hour charge.3. the only 55 inch widescreen personal movie theateritem 77918; $249.95available for immediate shipmentorder by phone: 1-800-321-1484 this is the only personal media viewer that provides aprivate viewing experience just like watching a widescreen 55 inch television from 10 meters away. it connects to a video ipod, iphone, portable dvd player. includes two aa batteries that provide up to six hours of continuous operation and ipod cable.4. the digital phone album watchitem 77281; $99.95available for immediate shipmentorder by phone: 1-800-321-1484 this is the watch that vividly displays 120 of your favorite digital photographs. you can download digital photographs to the watch. the watch can be viewed in the photo album mode(time and photo view) or digital mode (time and date view). a six-hour charge provides up to 10 days of use.60. whats the purpose of this passage?
