“Love your neighbor as yourself” is a saying familiar to most of us.It means that you must have the ability to love and accept yourself in order to form and keep satisfying relationship with others.Self－esteem means accepting yourself for who you really are，and believing that you are indeed a worthwhile person who is deserving of love and respect from others.

Self－esteem is our sense of how good we feel about ourselves.It is based on our judgment of ourselves，not on other people’s assessment，but simply on our own.Our self－esteem is not defendant on our talent.Some very ordinary people feel very good about themselves，while other extraordinarily high achievers hold low opinions of themselves.

Self－esteem is the primary key to long－term stress management.Why？The first three sources of stress are：predictable life events，unexpected changes and build－up of daily stresses.These are much easier to handle when we believe in ourselves.A positive，healthy self－esteem gives us the “hardiness” 强健 to deal with the difficulties of life，and to see them as challenges to be met，rather than threats to be feared.

The fourth category of stress is entirely the result of a low self－esteem.It is the category of stress that is most common and tiring over the long run.This kind of stress cannot be overcome，or even changed，until the self－esteem problems that cause it are corrected.

Learning to love yourself for who you are is the key to overcoming stress.Self－esteem comes form the self，and cannot be promoted by others.A person who feels that his self－esteem comes from the approval of those around him or her is bound to self－destruct 自毁

．One cannot keep the level of “performance” required

to please everyone else，especially if that performance disagrees with who you are

and is simply a facade that makes you popular with the world.When the applause is gone，there is nothing left.

Only those who can feel the strength of knowing who they are and those who can feel good about that will survive the stresses of life.Self－esteem is the basis of contentment and positive living.

1．What is self－esteem? A．A kind of positive lifestyle.

B．The impression we have on other people. C．Our sense of how good we feel about ourselves. D．Our understanding of how we are seen by others.

2．What is the key to overcoming stress according to the passage? A．Removing yourself from stressful situation. B．Learning to love yourself for who you are. C．Facing the stress and dealing with it. D．Getting help from friends.

3．What does the underlined word “facade” in Para.5 mean? A．A strange feeling. B．A big worry. C．A wrong action. D．A false appearance. 4．The passage is written to________. A．tell people how to overcome stress

B．help people form good relationship with others C．show the importance of feeling good about yourself

D．provide the different methods to get a clear view of yourself

Benjamin Franklin，Walter Isaacson tells us at the beginning of his long but never boring new biography 传记，“is the founding father who winks at us.” By that，Isaacson explains，he means Franklin is the most human—and most modern—of the men who shaped the American republic.We admire Washington，Jefferson and Adams，but they remain creatures of the 18th century.The man we encounter in “Benjamin

Franklin”—funny，pragmatic and self－aware—seems like one of us，or at least someone we’d like to be.

Unlike Washington’s cherry tree，Franklin’s kite was real.His experiments with electricity made him one of the great scientists of his day.He was a middle－class businessman whose success as a printer and a journalist allowed him to retire at 42—and he devoted the rest of his life to his country.He was diplomat who persuaded the French to back the American Revolution and the author of the first great American autobiography.He was an excellent swimmer.There was almost nothing he couldn’t do well，except write poetry.But what truly distinguished Franklin was his talent of being great and human at the same time.He owned slaves as a younger man，but in his last years became an abolitionist 废奴主义者．When he fathered an illegitimate 私生的 son，he acknowledged his fatherhood and took the responsibility of raising the boy.

He seems strange today in the joy he took in compiling and creating all those self－improvement maxims he published in Poor Richard’s Almanac 年鉴—“early to bed，early to rise” and so on.Generations of lazy boys could have been happier without that.But he was no hypocrite 伪君子

．Isaacson tells us Franklin practiced

what he preached，and often laughed at himself while he did so.

By a happy accident，this is the second excellent biography of Franklin to appear in two years，after Edmund S．Morgan’s inspiring “Benjamin Franklin.”

5．What type of literature does this passage belong to? A．Research paper. B．Book review. C．Biography. D．Short story.

6．The underlined word “maxims” in Paragraph 3 probably means ________. A．proverbs B．standards C．requests D．orders

7．With the fact that Franklin shouldered the responsibilities of raising his illegitimate son，the author wants to prove that ________.

A．Franklin had made a big fortune in his business before he got devoted to politics

B．Franklin might be the only parent to support the child at that time
