But our differences are what make us special. I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. Hoge was born with a strange-looking face. His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life. But Hoge didn’t give up. Strangers would stare at (盯着看) him or even make fun of him. But he didn’t care. He decided to own his face and feel confident (自信的) in himself. He has gone on to live an amazing life. It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look “normal (正常的)” or “perfect (完美的)”.

So you should learn to be happy with yourself. As we all know, nobody is perfect (完美的). So if you are not the most beautiful or the smartest person, that’s OK. If you do feel there is room for improving, then try your best to make some changes. If you have tried your best but still aren’t content, ask yourself two simple questions. Firstly, are you happy with who you are? If the answer is yes, then there is nothing to worry about. If you are OK with yourself and you have done your best in everything, you should be content. Secondly, do you give yourself enough time to improve? You know improving takes time. Self- confidence is also very important. If you’re confident, you will be OK with the way you are. However, here is some advice if you are not confident. First, find out your talents and try to use them. Second, don’t always compare yourself with others. Third, forgive (原谅) yourself for some mistakes you may have made. 1. What should you do if you feel there is room for improving? A．Ask yourself some questions. B．Try to make some changes.

If you have tried your best but still aren’t content, ”可知如果没有提升的空间了，那就尽力做些改变。努力做了改变后，可以推测应该是仍然还不满意。content意为“满意的”。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据“Secondly, do you give yourself enough time to improve?

It is the desire to know more, to explore, and to understand the world around us. Throughout history, curious people have made amazing discoveries. For example, Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets. He used a telescope to observe the sky and made many important discoveries about the solar system. His curiosity changed the way people thought about the universe. Curiosity can also lead to personal growth. When we are curious, we are more likely to learn new skills and gain new knowledge. We may try new hobbies, read different kinds of books, or meet new people. All these experiences can broaden our horizons and make us more well-rounded individuals. In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships. When we are curious about others, we show that we care about them. We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their perspectives. This can help us build stronger connections with people. However, curiosity needs to be balanced. We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business, such as other people’s private lives. Also, we should use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble. 1. What is curiosity according to the passage? A．A strong desire to know more. B．A force that makes people lazy. C．A feeling of being bored. D．A way to avoid learning. 2. Who made important discoveries about the solar system because of curiosity? A．Thomas Edison. B．Galileo Galilei. C．Alexander Graham Bell. D．Leonardo da Vinci. 3. How can curiosity lead to personal growth? A．By making us do the same things every day. B．By helping us learn new skills and gain knowledge. C．By making us afraid of trying new things. D．By making us ignore other people. 4. What can curiosity do to our relationships? A．Make them worse. B．Have no effect on them. C．Improve them. D．End them. 5. What should we pay attention to when we have curiosity? A．Be overly curious about everything. B．Use curiosity in a positive way and not be nosy. C．Only be curious about our own lives. D．Never be curious about anything. 【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B 4. C 5. B 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章旨在阐述好奇心的强大力量：它是推动人类探索与发现的重要动力，能促进个人成长、改善人际关系；同时强调好奇心需适度，应在积极且不侵犯他人的前提下发挥作用。 1. 细节理解题。根据第一段“It is the desire to know more, to explore, and to understand the world around us.”可知，好奇心是渴望了解更多、探索和理解周围世界的欲望。故选A。 2. 细节理解题。根据第二段“Galileo Galilei was curious about the stars and the planets... made many important discoveries about the solar system.”可知，伽利略・伽利莱对恒星和行星充满好奇，在太阳系方面有许多重要发现。故选B。 3. 细节理解题。根据第三段“When we are curious, we are more likely to learn new skills and gain new knowledge... broaden our horizons and make us more well-rounded individuals.”可知，好奇心会促使人们主动学习新事物、尝试新体验 (如培养爱好、阅读、社交等)，而这些经历最终能拓宽视野，帮助个体变得更全面。故选B。 4. 细节理解题。根据第四段“In addition, curiosity can improve our relationships.”可知，好奇心能改善我们的人际关系。故选C。 5. 推理判断题。根据最后一段“We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business... use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble.”可知，当我们产生好奇心时，我们应该注意把握尺度：一方面，不应过度探寻与己无关的事 (如他人隐私)；另一方面，要以积极的方式发挥好奇心，避免带来不良后果，核心是 “以积极方式使用好奇心且不干涉他人私事”。故选B。 Passage 15 A Curious Boy’s Discovery Tom was a very curious boy.

You are afraid of being alone. You need to treat life seriously and start making better choices. You’re ambitious (有雄心的). You don’t like laziness and work very hard. But sometimes you may become self-centered. Whenever a friend tries to share a story of them with you, you only think about yourself. You should try to be a better listener. You are smart. You can control yourself. You follow your dreams without comparing yourself with others. Sometimes you should come out of your comfort zone (舒适区) and try new things. 1.

Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look—our own face. Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or weird (怪异的). But our differences are what make us special. I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. Hoge was born with a strange-looking face. His mother worried about the difficulties he would face in life. But Hoge didn’t give up. Strangers would stare at (盯着看) him or even make fun of him. But he didn’t care. He decided to own his face and feel confident (自信的) in himself. He has gone on to live an amazing life. It’s hard when you feel like you don’t look “normal (正常的)” or “perfect (完美的)”. But the truth is, no one is perfect.

The author thinks that _______. A．many people look weird B．being ugly is embarrassing C．everyone is special D．everyone is perfect Passage 5 There is no one like you in the world. So you should learn to be happy with yourself. As we all know, nobody is perfect (完美的). So if you are not the most beautiful or the smartest person, that’s OK. If you do feel there is room for improving, then try your best to make some changes. If you have tried your best but still aren’t content, ask yourself two simple questions. Firstly, are you happy with who you are? If the answer is yes, then there is nothing to worry about. If you are OK with yourself and you have done your best in everything, you should be content. Secondly, do you give yourself enough time to improve? You know improving takes time. Self- confidence is also very important. If you’re confident, you will be OK with the way you are. However, here is some advice if you are not confident. First, find out your talents and try to use them. Second, don’t always compare yourself with others. Third, forgive (原谅) yourself for some mistakes you may have made. 1. What should you do if you feel there is room for improving? A．Ask yourself some questions. B．Try to make some changes.

We ask questions, listen to their stories, and try to understand their perspectives. This can help us build stronger connections with people. However, curiosity needs to be balanced. We should not be overly curious about things that are none of our business, such as other people’s private lives. Also, we should use our curiosity in a positive way, not to cause harm or trouble. 1.
