Many people believe that confident people think more highly of themselves, while those who have low selfesteem(自尊 ) think less of their qualities. However, a new study says it might not be true, reported the Guardian. The study was done by Jonathan Freeman, a psychologist professor from the University of London, UK. He found that 98 percent of British people consider themselves to be among the nicest 50 percent of the population. In the study, Freeman first asked some people to rate their own niceness. Then he got people to answer questions like “Do you give directions to strangers?” and “ Have y ou ever donated blood?” The results showed that people are not as nice as they think they are. Two thirds of them seldom helped other carry shopping bags, and only a quarter of them donated blood. In another study by psychologists from universities in Chicago and Virginia, US, some people were shown pictures of themselves. Some pictures had been slightly changed to make them appear more attractive. When asked to pick the unchanged pictures, people usually choose the more attractive ones. So, why do we think we’re nicer than we actually are? There are many theories(理論 ). A popular one says we unconsciously(無(wú)意識(shí)地 ) deceive(欺騙 ) ourselves, so that we can get confidence without knowing lying to ourselves or each other. How can we solve it? Other studies show that there is a simple way: feedback. Compare others’ opinions toward yourself with your own and you will see a clearer picture. 27.

A. they were not happy with their looks B. it was hard to tell small differences C. they lied to themselves without knowing it D. They wanted themselves to look good. 30.

Peoples’ opinions of their own niceness. 第二節(jié) (共 5小題,每小題 2分,滿分 10分 ) 下面文章中有五處(第 31— 35 題)需要添加標(biāo)題,請(qǐng)從以下選項(xiàng) (A、 B、 C、 D、 E和 F)中選出符合各段意思的小標(biāo)題。每段對(duì)話或獨(dú)白讀兩遍。 浙江省杭州市 2017 屆九年級(jí)英語(yǔ)招生考試全真模擬試題 第 I 卷 第一部分 聽(tīng)力 (共兩節(jié),滿分 30 分 ) 第一節(jié) (共 5小題 , 每小題 2分,滿分 10分 ) 聽(tīng)下面 5段對(duì)話。聽(tīng)完后,各小題給出 5秒鐘的做答時(shí)間。 12.
