Due to the financial crisis, the competition was ever fierce. My son targeted a company that was located in a coastal city. It was intended to employ only one person among more than twenty candidates, I said to David, “You should not harbor too much hope for fear that you would feel terribly disappointed when you fail.” He said to me, “I am not afraid of disappointment. As long as I try, there will always be hope!”Three young men could enter the final round, which would later decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite well and David entered the final round in a week.Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably simple, during which the interviewer only chatted with them for a while. The interview strategies my son prepared were not useful at all. The interviewer said the company would inform them of the result in 3 days. On the morning of the third day, David received the text from the company that he was not employed. David felt disappointed.At nightfall that day, David suddenly told me excitedly on phone that he had been employed. Greatly surprised, I asked him, “Whats the whole matter?” David told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. David felt very confused about it. Later he found out the first text sent to him was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text that morning and only Davids reply was satisfying to the company. I asked my son, “How did all of you reply?” My son said, “One did not reply. The other said goodbye and I said thank you.”Only then did I know that my sons hope came in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say thank you to the one who disappoints you. Actually, it is a piece of cake to say thank you. Saying thank you shows respect for others work and demonstrates your grand generosity. Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!8. What can we learn about David from the passage?A. He was not hopeful of getting the job.B. He took a positive attitude towards failure.C. He wanted to work for a company in the local city.D. Being short of money, David was eager to find a job.9.

When children build their self-confidence, meaning they believe in themselves more, they become more comfortable with themselves. 16 1. Create a pretend play.Allow a child to create a puppet show（木偶表演）to express the difficulty he is having. For instance, if the child is afraid of the dark, have him come up with a puppet show about a puppet that is afraid of the dark. 17 If the child doesnt seem to be coming up with a way to help the puppet overcome his fear, present some questions to see if he can come up with a way to help the puppet.2. 18 Many children with low self-confidence display behaviors that suggest they do not believe they can do things on their own. To encourage independence, when a situation appears in which the child states he cant do it or wants you to do it for him, encourage the child to do the activity. 19 3. Raise self-awareness.Helping children to become more aware of who they are can help build self-confidence. Children with low self-confidence may not be very decisive. They may say I dont know a lot or may hesitate when you ask them questions about themselves. 20 To do this, be supportive of the answers they provide by making sure not to discount or make them feel like they need to change their answers in any way.A. Develop speaking skills.B. Encourage independence.C. Praise any effort he makes.D. ln addition, help the children to accept their own answers.E. Many play therapy activities can also be used on adults.F. Here are three techniques for improving childrens self-confidence.G. Have him create a title for the puppet show and then make the show.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。Elaine was a saleswoman，who drove all over the city five days a weekWhen all the freeway lanes were at a dead stop, she would drive quickly along the emergency laneWhile driving she usually 21 on her cell phone.

So far, research 42 (show) that people who forgive can have more energy, better appetite and better sleep. “People who forgive show 43 (little) anger and more hopefulness,” says Dr. Frederic Luskin, who wrote the book Forgive for Good. “So it can help reduce the tiredness out of the immune system and allow people 44 (feel) more energetic.” So when someone has hurt you, cool down first. Take a couple of breaths and think of something 45 gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love. Dont wait for an 46 (apologize). “Many times the person who hurt you may never think of apologizing,” says Dr. Luskin. “They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see things 47 same way. So if you wait for people to say sorry, you could be waiting a very long time.” Next keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean 48 (accept) the action of the person who upsets you. Instead, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you. Finally, try to see things 49 the other persons perspective. You may realize th
