the sport at the end of 2017 when she found herself out of contract(合同).She came into Tokyowithout a professional team and left as an Olympic champion.The 30-year old began her cycling career in 2014 after running injuries that prevented her from continuingher pursuits of triathlon(铁人三项).She later joined a Catalan team and won the Spanish National Cup in 2016.The then-26 year old signedher first professional contract with Lotto Soudal Ladies for the following season.However,she ended her 2017 campaign in April and did not sign a contract for 2018,eventually taking a year offthe bike.In

abstract concept,which refers to peoples beliefs about their own worth and value.American psychologist Abraham Maslow thought self-esteem was a basic human need and included self-esteem inhis hierarchy of human needs.He described two different forms of“esteem”:the need for respect from others inthe form of recognition,success,and admiration,and the need for self-respect in the form of self-love,self-confidence,and skill.Respect from others was believed to be more fragile and easily lost than innerself-esteem.According to Maslow,without the fulfillment of the self-esteem need,individuals will be driven toseek it and unable to grow and obtain self-realization.Basically,high self-esteem is achieved through a series of real accomplishments,which is good for people.However,the excessive high self-esteem,based more on a sense of entitlement than on any accomplishment,isconsidered to be less psychologically healthy.And just as self-esteem can be too high,it can also be“under-inflated”.Those having poor self-esteem do have a basis for feeling good about themselves but they maynot recognize their accomplishments and actions as meaningful.To appreciate what it would be like to have high self-esteem,one can consider how they may feel aboutthings in their lives that they value.For instance,some people really like cars.They take good care of their cars.They may even decorate the car and then show it off to other people with pride.Similarly,people with highself-esteem love,care for and feel proud of themselves.Take children for example.When they have highself-esteem,they believe they are valuable and important.They enjoy different activities and can handle criticismeasily without taking it personally.People need to develop positive self-esteem.This can convince them they deserve happiness.Besides,thedevelopment of positive self-esteem increases the capacity to treat other people with respect,thus favoring avariety of interpersonal relationships and avoiding destructive ones.8.What can we infer from Abraham Maslows theory about self-esteem?A.Self-esteem ensures us a successful life.B.Self-esteem is essential to self-realization.C.Self-esteem means little to psychological health.D.Others respect is more important than self-respect.9.What does the underlined word“under-inflated”in paragraph 2 mean?A.Adequate.B.Insufficient.C.Moderate.D.Lifelong.10.How does the author explain the feelings of having high self-esteem?A.By giving examples.B.By analyzing causes.C.By providing figures.D.By making contrasts.11.Which of the following does the author support?A.Self-esteem ultimately leads to happiness.B.Self-esteem earns you respect from others.C.Positive self-esteem benefits peoples social lives.D.Positive self-esteem helps people out of difficulties.DA Singaporean company will feed airport food waste to mealworms before turning them into fish feed,aimingto cut the countrys use
