Ⅱ.阅读理解
Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University.She is the first woman to hold the position in the school's 371 year history.
“I am a historian，” she said.“I've spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how it shapes the future.No university in the country, perhaps the world, has as remarkable a past as Harvard's.”
“And our common enterprise is to make even more remarkable than its past.That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well.It will also mean recognizing what we don't do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better.”
It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men.“This is a man's world, my girl, and the sooner you learn that, the better off you'll be.”Dr Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young, but she didn't buy it.
Faust grew up in a well­off family in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s.Even then, she was a trailblazer(先驱)．A conversation with her family's black handyman(杂务工) and driver inspired her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower.
She asked that he should help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided part of the country at the time.
“Drew Faust is a historian with her eyes on the future，” said Susan Graham, a professor of Harvard.Many of the university's schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter future under the leadership of Drew Faust.

(2014·河南省实验中学期中)
To be confident
Confidence of success is almost success.Here's how to believe in yourself.
Remember that everyone struggles with confidence.Some people are good at hiding it, but nearly every person has struggled with his or her self­confidence at one point.__1__
Accept compliment politely.When someone compliments you, make eye contact, smile, and say “thank you”．It shows that you're polite and have a secure sense of self­worth.If you're still uncomfortable taking compliments, try giving one back after you've accepted one.__2__
__3__That's a simple and an effective psychological technique to become confident.When you are talking louder you are sending the signal that you are confident, and as you make it as a habit you will feel more confident.But don't be dominating(专横的)．
Look the part.Or, as the saying goes, “Fake it till you make it.”__4__Devote a little time each day to make sure you're presenting yourself well.Keep your shoulders back, walk with purpose instead of dragging your feet, and sit up straight.Smile and make eye contact.It's a small change, but it can work wonders on what other people think of you.
Develop your interests.If there's a sport or hobby you've always wanted to be good at, now's the time! Improving your skills will show that you are talented, and make you confident.Learn a musical instrument or a foreign language; take up an art form like painting—whatever it is that catches your interest.__5__ Remember that learning is a process, and you're in it for the small victories and the relaxing time, not to be the best ever.
A．Make a list.
B．You're not alone!
C．Talk a little louder.
D．Stop comparing yourself with everyone else.
E．Don't get discouraged if you're not immediately awesome.
F．This can help you feel like the score is “even” and you haven't been too prideful.
G．If you know that you look like a confident person, eventually you'll start to feel it, too.
【答案】　1－5　B F C G E
