I have two fathers, a rich one and a poor one. One is high educated and intelligent, who completed four years of undergraduate work in less than two years. He them went on Stanford University. The other father never finishes the eighth grade. Therefore, both men are successful in their careers, work hard all their lives. Yet one struggles financially all his life. The other becomes one of the richest men in the Hawaii. And they have very different point of view about the subject of money. The contrast in our points of view is so extreme that we grow puzzling sometimes. I have to spend periods of time figuring out how each is saying.

How to Build a Student’s Self-Confidence
Educating students means more than giving them academic knowledge. Simply knowing a correct response doesn’t give a student the confidence to raise his hand to answer a question. Students perform best in constructive learning environments.1.
Provide leadership opportunities for students. Cultivate (培养) important characteristics, including responsibility and independence by assigning students to take different classroom roles. Suitable jobs include hall monitors, audio-visual assistants and classroom helpers. 2.
Set achievable goals for each student. 3.Engage in ongoing dialogue regarding your expectations and their individual progress. Reward students for meeting challenges, while persuading struggling students back on track.
Give constructive feedback to help reduce weaknesses and strengthen strengths. Teach students that self-confidence isn’t built from being harmed by praise. Remain honest with each student to encourage them to speak out their problems, instead of avoiding or denying their existence. Make corrections without damaging your students’ confidence.
Encourage students to set high standards for themselves. 4.Reinforce(强化) this message with age-appropriate examples and literature. Provide consistent encouragement to students to show your commitment to their success.
5.Realize that conquering difficult tasks builds mental toughness and fosters persistence. Relay this message to your students by asking each one to write a goal that focuses on improving a weak area. Help your students develop relevant attack plans.
A. Push students to improve their weaknesses.
B. Self-confidence games can help students of all ages.
C. Reassure students that they are capable of achieving greatness.
D. You can ease students’ insecurities with various activities that build confidence.
E. They are especially useful in helping young children build success for their future.
F. Realize that overcoming self-doubt to achieve objectives helps build students’ confidence.
G. Mastering some duties can help build confidence and erase fear of trying new experiences.
Frigatebirds seagoing fliers with a 6-foot wingspan, can stay aloft(up in the air) for weeks at a time, a new study has found.
Since the frigatebird spends most of its life at sea, its habits outside of when it reproduces on land aren’t well-known-until researchers started tracking them around the Indian Ocean. What the researchers discovered is that the bird’s flying ability is unbelievable.
Ornithologist(鸟类学家) Henri Weimerskirch put satellite tage(标签) on a couple of dozen frigatebirds. When the data started to come in, he could hardly believe how high the birds flew.
"First, we found, 'Whoa, 1,500 meters. Excellent,' " says Weimerskirch, "And after 2,000, after 3,000, after 4,000 meters-OK, at this altitude they are in freezing conditions, especially surprising for a tropical bird."
"There is no other bird flying so high relative to the sea surface," he says. "It’s the only bird that is known to intentionally enter into a cloud," Weimerskirch says. And not just any cloud—a soft, white cumulus cloud(积云). Over the ocean, these clouds tend to form in places where warm air rises from the sea surface. The birds take a ride on the current of rising air, all the way up to the top of the cloud.
Frigatebirds have to find ways to stay aloft because they can’t land on the water. Since their feathers aren’t waterproof, the birds would drown in short order. They feed by harassing other birds in flight until they bring whatever fish they’ve swallowed back into their mouth and the frigatebird takes it.
So in between meals, frigatebirds fly higher... and higher.
In one case, for two months-continuously aloft.
One of the tagged birds flew 40 miles without a wing-flap. Several covered more than 300 miles a day on average, and flew continuously for weeks. They are blessed with an unusual body. No bird has a larger wing surface area compared with body weight.
1.How did researchers feel when data about frigatebirds reached them?
A. Calm. B. Surprised.
C. Hopeful. D. Anxious.
2.According to the text, how can frigatebirds fly so high?
A. By flying into a cloud.
B. With the help of researchers.
C. Thanks to advanced technology.
D. By following other birds into the sky.
3.What does the underlined word “they” in the text refer to?
A. Frigatebirds. B. Other birds.
C. Small fish. D. Larger fish.
4.In what aspect are frigatebirds different from other birds?
A. When they give birth. B. What they feed on.
C. Their body weight. D. Their wing surface area.
English is full of colorful phrases to describe shyness. Someone shy might be called shrinking violet or a wallflower, while for especially nervous types we have the curious expression: they wouldn’t say boo to a goose.
None of these are traditionally seen as positive descriptions, even if you like geese. In a culture of go-getting, high achievers, shy people don’t come first. Or that’s what the self-help industry would have you believe. Bookshops are filled with vital tomes(巨著) that promise to help beat social fears and find success in life, love and business. That is why one book, Shrinking Violets: A Field Guide to Shyness, bucks the trend. It became a sudden success across English-language media recently for its new take-on shyness.
Author Joe Moran says that despite struggling with shyness and longing for loneliness all his life, being shy can also be "a gift". Freed from the constant urge to participate and compete in social situations, people are liberated to look at the world in new ways, and gain fresh insights.
Indeed, many of the world’s great thinkers and artists are introverts(内向的人). Scientists Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein preferred their own company; actress Keira Knightley often finds herself tongue-tied at parties; and Harry Potter author JK Rowling claims she used to be too nervous to even borrow a pen.
Moran told BBC Future: "I think shyness probably does turn you into an amateur anthropologist(人类学家), really-you are more likely to be an observer."
So, while extroverts make all the noise, they don’t necessarily have the best ideas.
If you’re shy, you’ve probably known this for a long time. You just don’t shout about it.
1.When someone is being called a wallflower, he is being ________.
A. praised for his grace B. admired for his character
C. laughed at for his shyness D. told off for his nervousness
2.The underlined phrase “bucks the trend” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”.
A. going against the trend and succeeds
B. changing the public idea completely
C. becoming unpopular and unaccepted
D. becoming the major concern of people
3.The author mentioned many famous shy people in order to ________.
A. point out the harm shyness brings
B. disconnect shyness and success
C. shows the reasons for shyness
D. prove shyness contributes to science
4.What is the author’s attitude towards shyness?
A. Opposed. B. Indifferent.
C. Supportive. D. Critical.
