Don’t judge a book by its cover①
“Don’t judge a book by its cover，” the old saying goes.Unfortunately，as a teenager，that is often exactly what you do to yourself【1】．Dark thoughts about your physical appearance② can hang over③ you all the time like a rain cloud.Do I look fat in these jeans④？ Do others think I am too short Is everyone laughing at my new hairstyle behind my back These thoughts can have a negative effect on⑤ people of any shape or size，both male and female，and it is important to guard against⑥ the causes behind them.
Standards of beauty in the media can have a big influence on what you think of your physical appearance.Teens who try to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a losing battle⑦—these standards are simply impossible for most of the population to live up to⑧.They will only end up⑨ feeling worse about themselves.
Your friends also influence the way you view your physical appearance.If you have friends who are good－looking⑩ or have a great fashion sense ，it can feel like you are living in their shadow .For children of the digital age ，social media makes this problem even worse.Your friends may post a never－ending series of photos online to show off their beautiful dresses or strong bodies，and it becomes easier for you to compare yourself to them.This has proved to have a negative effect on what you think of your physical appearance.
These external influences are always present，but there are certainly ways to deal with them.First of all，be careful not to follow popular beauty standards blindly .They are out of reach for 99% of us，so it is better to just forget about them.
Another tip is to remind yourself that you are unique.Keep in mind that your family and friends love you just the way you are【2】．Talk about your feelings with someone you trust.Hearing how much they value you can help you feel comfortable in your own skin .Focusing on your strengths also helps you build your confidence.Everyone has their own talents—you may be good at painting or playing the piano，so take pride in things you do well instead of worrying about things you cannot change.
Finally，it is a good idea to try to direct your attention away from negative thoughts.To achieve this，you should do something you enjoy.Read a book you like，or take part in a social activity，like playing a ball game with your friends.These things can help you take your mind off matters that worry you and make you feel good about yourself.
You may often judge yourself by what is on the outside，not on the inside.However，like a book，your contents are much more important than your cover.If you can learn to see the good things about yourself—your individuality，your value to others，your achievements—you will soon begin to love yourself just the way you are.
Fill in the following blanks according to the text.
Dark thoughts about physical appearance can have a negative effect 1. people.Teens trying to copy the looks of their favourite stars are fighting a 2. (lose) battle.They will only end up 3. (feel) worse about themselves.If you have friends 4. are good－looking or have a great fashion sense，it can feel 5. you are living in their shadow.It becomes easier for you to compare 6.

【语篇解读】　本文是演讲稿。本文讲述了让作者印象深刻的三个人，并提到了对他的深远影响。
1．The underlined word “famines” in Paragraph 2 means ________．
A．pleasure B．joy
C．luck D．extreme lack of food
答案　D　[词义猜测题。根据第二段“The work is sometimes difficult...poverty and death.”可知，这项工作有时很困难。我经历过饥荒、战争、地震、贫穷和死亡。所以通过上下文可以判断出，第二段中画线的“famines”一词是“缺少食物”的意思。故选D项。]
2．What can we learn about Rosa
A．She’s a rich lady and she likes to help the homeless children.
B．She’s a kind－hearted woman and she provides houses for the homeless children.
C．She’s a great mother and she looks after the homeless children.
D．She’s a good teacher and she teaches the homeless children.
答案　B　[推理判断题。根据第三段she was looking after...She gave them hope可知，罗莎是一个善良的女人，她为无家可归的孩子们提供住处。故选B项。]
3．The speaker is giving a speech to students in ________．
A．China B．Canada
C．Turkey D．India
答案　A　[细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“Here in China”，可知此时作者身处中国。故选A。]
4．For what does the speaker admire the Turkish woman and the Chinese boy
A．Their bravery. B．Their strong mind.
C．Their age. D．Their luck.
答案　B　[推理判断题。根据倒数第三段及倒数第二段中的“But the old lady did not...his whole life in hospital.”可知，这个老人并没有放弃希望。小男孩做了二十次手术，几乎一辈子都在医院里度过。所以判断出，演讲者钦佩土耳其女人和中国男孩的原因是因为他们的坚强意志。故选B。]

【语篇解读】　本文是说明文。本文论述了男士形体美的标准，看来似乎大大咧咧的男士们其实也很在乎自己的形象，形体优美会使人自信满满。
