He told her she was a loser and that anything she did was sure to end in failure. With these words constantly ringing in her ears she grew up looking for someone who would love her and see her as a person of worth .This led her into relationships that disappointed her, ending in pain yet, which was another proof that she was worthless and unlovable. Where does our sense of self-worth come from? It is true that the foundation for a person's self-worth is laid in the home. Words that we hear in our home can build or tear down our worth. Encouraging words are words of life to us while words of criticism are words of death. Other people like teachers, friends and employers add to the collection of life-giving death words in a person's heart. Over time a person begins to see themselves in the light of these words. In this situation can one develop a sense of worth? Feeling worthless is possibly the most obvious symptom of low self-esteem(自尊心). But it's easy to overcome. However tough your childhood is, you can still choose to enrich the world every day simply by the way you interact with others and make caring decisions. Whether we contribute anything or not is a choice. Feeling worthless means that you're not doing as well in the areas that matter to you and therefore you need to try to increase your self-esteem. To feel worthwhile, you'll have to really work at it and never give up on yourself. All human beings are capable of adding value to society, including you. Thus there are no excuses for saying things like “I'm worthless, stupid, useless" because you have the choice not to be any of things . 1. What can we know from Paragraph 1? A. Marjorie was a very confident woman. B. Fathers decide children's future development. C. Family education affects children's growth. D. Children shouldn't follow their parents' advice. 2. What does the third paragraph mainly show us? A. What self-esteem is. B. Why we feel worthless. C. When we should make a choice. D. How we should change ourselves. 3. What can be inferred from the passage? A. All of us can contribute to society. B. Our self-esteem is only built at home. C. People should treat their children strictly. D. People should accomplish anything that matters to us. 4. Which of the following is the best title of this text? A. The reasons for worthlessness B. Take action to become worthwhile C. The importance of fathers’ education D. Study to get self-esteem 三、七选五 Thanks to the development of the Internet, you can now work from home, and make more money.
