Learn to believe in yourself
Nobody is perfect. Each of us has our own strengths and weaknesses. Some people are good at sports. Some are talented in music. But everyone also has weak points. Don’t be too hard on yourself when you make mistakes.
Lucy was a Grade‑Eight student. She was good at drawing. But she felt nervous every time she spoke in front of her classmates. She thought she was not good enough and wanted to give up speaking in public.
Her teacher told her, “You are supposed to accept your weak points. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them. Practice more, and you will make progress.”
Lucy took the advice. She practiced speaking every day. Sometimes she still made mistakes, but she didn’t give up. Gradually she became more confident.
We can’t be perfect, but we can keep improving ourselves. Believe in yourself, and you will become better little by little.

【答案与解析】
1.【答案】B
【解析】词义猜测题。文中strengths and weaknesses成对出现,`strengths`是长处,与之对应的weaknesses就是 “短处,缺点”。
2.【答案】A
【解析】细节定位题。原文第二段明确句子She was good at drawing.,直接定位获取答案。
3.【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。原文But she felt nervous every time she spoke in front of her classmates. She thought she was not good enough and wanted to give up speaking in public.说明原因:当众讲话紧张,认为自己不够好。C 与原文相反,老师是鼓励她;A、D 原文没有提到。
4.【答案】C
【解析】细节题。老师原话You are supposed to accept your weak points. Don’t be afraid of making mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them.,对应 C 选项 “接受缺点,从错误中学习”;A、B、D 是错误的观点,老师并没有这样说。
5.【答案】B
【解析】主旨大意题。文章首尾段点明主旨:人无完人,要相信自己,不断提升自我。A 只是故事细节;C 文中没有讲如何避免犯错;D 文章没有讲如何成为尖子生。
