once, and my mind continually plays it over like a voice recording. i met him about three years ago. after knowing me for six months, he told me about his struggles with depression. sadness was not the only emotion that came over me; i was shocked. he seemed so outgoing and happy all the time. i soon learned that he was physically and emotionally abused as a young child, causing him to have suicidal thoughts. he refuses to talk to others about his depression because he now distrusts adults, especially those in his family. nevertheless, he feels as if i understand him and that i know the right words to speak. therefore, when it comes to helping him, convenience is not in my vocabulary. it does not matter where i am or what i am doing, for he always comes first. many students at his school laugh at him when they notice scars on his arms from cutting. as he sees it, other kids have every right to make fun of him. but no one holds such a right, so i encourage him to ignore the heartless kids who treat him badly. when he feels the weight of judging eyes or hateful voices, i always remind him that i care about him unconditionally. just hearing me say i will always be his best friend seems to give him the security he needs to keep on going.my best friend once told me that if he had not had me, he would not be alive. he said that my encouraging words convinced him not to take his life. our friendship has taught me that a single kind word can influence someones life. with the fragility of life as it is, i believe in the necessity of encouragement. 56. according to the first paragraph, what the authors friend said made the author feel _.a. puzzled b. heart broken. c. frightened d. hopeless57. by saying “convenience is not in my vocabulary”, the author means _. a. he is always ready to help his friend. b. he hardly spares time to help his friend. c. he has no good excuse for refusing his friend. d. he is not good at communicating with his friend.58. from the passage we learn that the authors friend _. a. had a happy childhood but everything changed later b. wanted to share his story but no one listened. c. took it for granted that he was made fun of d. was always of sad appearance59. what does the author learn from his experiences? a. how to make a big difference to others. b. the importance of encouragement. c. how to get rid of depression d. the necessity of securitybsometimes youll hear people say that you cant love others until you love yourself. sometimes youll hear people say that you cant expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. either way, youve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. sure we all know that were the apple of our parents eyes, and that our grandmas think were great talents and our uncle roberts think that we will go to the olympics. but sometimes its a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ourselves. if you find that believing in yourself is a challenge, it is time you built a positive self-image and learned to love yourself.self-image is your own minds picture of yourself. this image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.the best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. that is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. dont allow doubts to occur in it.it very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you cant move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. if you think youre silly because you arent good at math, find a tutor. if you think youre weak because you cant run a mile, get to the track and practice. if you think youre dull because you dont wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. but remember, just because you think it doesnt mean its true.the best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. when you can pat yourself on the back, youll know youre well on your way. good luck! 60. you need to build a positive self-image when you _.a. dare to challenge yourselfb. feel it hard to change yourselfc. are unconfident about yourselfd. have a high opinion of yourself61. how should you change your self-image according to the passage?a. to keep a different image of others.b. to make your life successful.c. to understand your own world.d. to change the way you think.62. what is the passage mainly about?a. how to prepare for your success.b. how to face challenges in your life.c. how to build a positive self-image.d. how to develop your good qualities.63. who are the intended readers of the passage?a. parents. b. adolescents. c. educators. d. people in general.c.hearst castle is a palatial(宫殿式) park on the central california coast and a national
