【正文】 add onto ourselves in the hope of appearing more attractive and beautiful. Because believe it or not, we already are! After we wash our face and go to bed, it is not so perfect. You know it the face we should confidently be showing to the world! Who cares if you have pimples（面痕） or your eyes look small, or if you have crow’s feet? Guess what? Those are actually what make you such a beautifully grown woman. And any person who doesn’t think so is just not as strong as you. Nowadays we are so prone to do anything and everything to make us look as young and perfect as possible. Yet the troth is, by doing this, we are actually making our tree skin get worse and badly affected by all the junk we put on. We are making ourselves believe that by changing our appearance we will be more accepted and seem more attractive to other people. And yet, our final goal is to find that without all of the makeup. What kind of twisted（扭曲的） game are we really playing with ourselves? So I would like to make a suggestion for all women out there to give yourself a break at least this summer. Take a couple of pictures without all of that makeup on. You don’t need it every single day, especially not this hot summer! You’ll be surprised that the more confident you are about showing the real side of you, the more attractive you will be to everyone else. Yes, the saying, “Beauty es from within” is an old one, definitely still holds some troth today. So be brave, carefree, and makeup free! Let the world see you for who you really are! 32.

Fear can also keep us from pursuing the things in life that really matter— like following our dreams, and developing important relationships. I have some ideas, though, of how to be free from fear. ●Experience fear. I used to be very afraid of speaking in front of people. I would get sweaty palms and my stomach would be so tied up that I wouldn’t be able to eat. However, each time I spoke, I noticed afterwards that it wasn’t that bad. Things I fear are never as bad in reality as I make them out in my mind. 37 . ●Create space. The first and most important step to being fearless is to create some space between ourselves and the emotion of fear. This isn’t acplished by ignoring the fear, or trying to talk ourselves out of it. 38 . In fact, a recent research shows that by simply admitting the emotion we actually begin to reverse the “fight or flight（逃避） ” response in the body. ●Control the breath and feel the fear. Once we acknowledge the presence of fear, the second step is to control the breathing so that it bees slower and gentler. We try to make the breath just a little bit longer, and feel how fear manifests（展現(xiàn)） in the body. 39 . With practice, we can create enough space between us and the emotion of fear so that we’re able to replace a fearful thought with a positive one. 40 . For instance, before I get up to speak in front of a group of people, I imagine that the audience is positively impressed by what I say and that I manage to plete the speech successfully. A. We can imagine a positive oute for whatever we’re about to do. B. Space is created only when we can honestly acknowledge that fear exists. C. Fear, if left uncontrolled, can even destroy our life. D. As we pay attention to the physical symptoms of fear, we can see fear objectively. E. When we can see a positive oute in our mind, fear no longer holds us back. F. But fear is more than just physically unpleasant. G. So one way to get rid of fear is to simply push ourselves to do things that we fear 第三部分 英語知識應用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 45分） 第一節(jié) 完形填空（共兩篇完形填空，共 40小題；每小題 1． 5分，滿分 30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項，（ A、 B、 C和 D）中，選出
