B B When her five daughters were young, Helene An always told them that there was strength in unity (团结). To show this, she held up one chopstick, representing one person. Then she easily broke it into two pieces. Next, she tied several chopsticks together, representing a family. She showed the girls it was hard to break the tied chopsticks. This lesson about family unity stayed with the daughters as they grew up. Helene An and her family own a large restaurant business in California. However, when Helene and her husband Danny left their home in Vietnam in 1975, they didn't have much money. They moved their family to San Francisco. There they joined Danny's mother, Diana, who owned a small Italian sandwich shop. 4Soon afterwards, Helene and Diana changed the sandwich shop into a small Vietnamese restaurant. The five daughters helped in the restaurant when they were young. However, Helene did not want her daughters to always work in the family business because she thought it was too hard. Eventually the girls all graduated from college and went away to work for themselves, but one by one, the daughters returned to work in the family business. They opened new restaurants in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even though family members sometimes disagreed with each other, they worked together to make the business successful. Daughter Elisabeth explains, “Our mother taught us that to succeed we must have unity, and to have unity we must have peace. Without the strength of the family, there is no business.“ Their expanding business became a large corporation in 1996, with three generations of Ans working together. Now the Ans' corporation makes more than $20 million each year. Although they began with a small restaurant, they had big dreams, and they worked together. Now they are a big success.24.Helene tied several chopsticks together to show_.

Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone 6else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting. We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too ashamed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves loud is a healthy habit. This “self-talk” helps us encourage ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!” Often, words come out of our mouths without us thinking about the effect they will have. But we should be aware that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably answer in a similar manner. Harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive. Words have power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid. Words have power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours 32.There is no need for us to feel ashamed when we talk to ourselves because _ A. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselves B. talking to ourselves always gives us courage C. we can benefit from talking to ourselves D. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone33.The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _ A. remind ourselvesB. praise ourselves C. make ourselves relaxedD. give ourselves amusement 34.The author would probably hold the view that _ A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offers B. negative words may motivate us to make more progress C. people tend to remember friendly words D. it is better to think twice before talking to others 35.In which column of the newspaper are you most likely to read this passage? A. News. B. Fashion. C. Health.D. Language.7第二节 （共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项。How to Make Friends Friendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
