Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: We are not born doubting ourselves.We learn to do it.In fact,we are usually taught to doubt ourselves.We can learn some ways that allow us to become more accepting of ourselves.Following are two behaviors that might explain the reasons why you can't move towards greater self-acceptance. One thing that might cause you not to accept yourself is over--generalizing about something you've done that you don't like.For example,if you fail a test you might generalize and say,"I'm really a stupid person.''When you do this you are making a statement about all of you all of the time and not just about this one situation at this time.Instead,you might decide that your grade on this test in this subject at this time was indeed poor,and then go on to decide what you want to do about your poor grade,if anything.Getting stuck in over--generalizing discourages you from taking steps that might allow you to do better on the next exam and to build an expectation of future failure. Having standards that are impossibly high is a second way you can not accept yourself.It may not come as a surprise to you that most of us are more demanding of ourselves than we are of others.We don't know why we can tolerate the fact that other people fail, that they aren't always kind,that they've done things they aren't proud of,but we have difficulty accepting those on ourselves.The need to be perfect is another way to set yourself up for failure and strengthen the feeling that you are not acceptable.We all make mistakes.Accepting less than perfection simply means recognizing the limitations natural in being born a human being.Learn to value who you are rather than who you could become.Wouldn't it be overpowering if we always had to do what we imagine we could do? Nobody has the time and energy to do all of that.We must make choices about what we will seek and do them the best we can under the conditions,which aren't always ideal.by the way. Question: From the passage we can learn that _ . - over-generalizing might cause you not to accept yourself - over-generalizing might encourage you to expect the future - we can tolerate the fact that we've done things we aren't proud of - we can feel that we are perfect when we set ourselves up for success

Ans:over-generalizing might cause you not to accept yourself

Ques:Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Dogs and cats are not for students who live in the dormitory. Just think about the noise, the smell and all that wild behavior--chewing on whatever they can get their teeth on, or knocking over the trash can. But don't feel sad. There are smaller and less destructive pets to make your dormitory life colorful. Betta fish They make great pets with their big personality and astonishing colors, ranging from bright red, dark blue to lemon yellow. Unlike many fish, most bettas react to their owner's presence and become more active when they are nearby, which is unusual in the fish world. Chinchillas Without bad smell, about the size of a rabbit and with fur so dense that they can't get pests such as fleas , the friendly creature originally from the Andes Mountains in South America makes an ideal indoor pet. Chinchillas are very social animals, so if you only have one, you will become its family. In cold winter days, in a glance at this fury pet in a dorm will bring you a lot of warmth. Land hermit crabs In a society where owners are often asked "Are they tasty?", land hermit crabs are among the most unlucky animals commonly kept as pets. But they are easy to care for, inexpensive and fascinating to watch. And the fact that they don't cause any allergic reactions makes them perfect for college dormitories. Red-eared sliders If you're interested in a lifelong friend, a red-eared slider makes a wonderful pet. If well cared for, they can live for around 40 years. But there are a couple of things you should know. Red-eared can grow to an adult size of up to 30cm! So you may need a larger tank quickly. In addition, you will need to provide UV lighting, water heater, and a swimming area and a basking area. Housing a red eared slider is not easy.
