19．A．When something comes from within you，you always try your best to analyze it in a scientific way．
B．Psychologists call this private speech----language that is spoken loud but directed at yourself
C．So words to the self，spoken silently or loud，are so much more than just chatter
D．We keep the private speech we use as children inside------but we never truly put away the out=loud version．
E．According to he well-known saying，talking to yourself is the first sign of madness．
F．Self-talk is efficient because when we are vocal about our thoughts，it makes a larger impact on our brain．

Self-talk helps us allTalking to yourself may seem a little shameful．If you've ever been overheard criticizing yourself for a foolish mistake or practicing a speech，you'll know the social problems it can cause．（67）E
But there's no need for embarrassment．Talking to ourselves，whether out loud or silently in our heads，is valuable．Far from being a sign of insanity，self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do，manage our activities and control our emotions．
For example，take a trip to any preschool and watch a small girl playing with her toys．You are very likely to hear her talking to herself：offering herself directions and talking about her problems．（68）BWe do a lot of it when we are young．
As children，according to the Russian Psychologist Lev Vygotsky，we use private speech to control our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others．As we grow older，we keep this system inside．
Psychological experiments have shown that this so-called inner speech can improve our performance in tasks like telling what other people are thinking．Our words give us an interesting view of our actions．One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we talk to ourselves in the second person：as"you"rather than"I"（69）DIf you want proof，turn to a sports channel．You're sure to see an athlete shouting at himself or herself．
Talking to ourselves seems to be a very good way of solving problems and working through ideas．Hearing different points of view means our thoughts can end up in different place，just like a regular dialogue，and might turn out to be one of the keys to human creativity．
Both kinds of self-talk-----silent and out loud----seem to bring many different benefits to our thinking．（70）C-

I'd like tell you something about your life in this boarding schoo1．I stay in a dormitory with three other girls，all of them are kind and nice．We get on well to others and have become good friends．Living in a boarding school make me independent．I am confidence to take care of myself，wash the clothes，and clean the rooms，which I never did when at home．The classes here are very interesting and challenged．I'm still feeling a little dissatisfied with some other thing．The living conditions are not as good as it at home and the chance to get in touch with the outside world is limited．Anyway，I'II get used to living here and hope everything will be more better soon．

17．Why do we read poetry？First obvious one：because we enjoy it．The only other reason is for academic purposes，and that's not why this is here．
Many of us read poetry simply because we often feel depressed and hopelessly lost，and in poetry we see how beautiful and strange everything is．So in that way poetry calms our anxiety．
There are many different kinds of poems．They are not all calming．Some poems make me anxious，angry，scared，and sad，which is why I value them．As a reader，I want a full meal，not just dessert．I want the sweet and the bitter．Often，I read poetry when I'm already relaxed．In fact，I read more when I'm not stressed out．
Here are the main reasons I respond to poetry，as far as I can tell．Metrical （格律的） poems are about setting up rules and then bending them．Usually this is done by setting up a rhythm and then breaking it or almost breaking it，and then returning to it again．This satisfies my desire for order and also my desire for testing boundaries．
Poetry plays with language and often puts words together in surprising ways，which is thrilling the way that food can be，when the chef has paired ingredients you never thought would taste good together but somehow do．
Many poems are dense．Words mean two or three things at once and lots of suggestions are packed between the lines．This is intellectually inspiring and it allows me to read the same poem over and over，always finding new things in it．
And，of course，there's the subject matter．It interests me just as it would if the same subject was explored in a story or essay．Not all poems interest me in this way，but then not all stories and essays do，either．

16．The story of how I got my job was a funny one．
One day，I was （41）Aalong a street to an interview when a yellow car suddenly （42）Bin． （43）Canother car coming in the other（44）D，I had to brake hard and （45）Aanother cyclist．We both fell，but （46）Cneither of us was hurt．I became （47）D and cycled as fast as possible to the driver of the yellow car to tell him how I considered him．I told him what a bad （48）A I thought he was and that he was a（n） （49）Cto other people on the road．His face turned （50）D．I warned him not to drive （51）Ain the future so that everyone else could enjoy a long life．
I was in time for the （52）B．Having walked into the room，to my （53）D，I found one of the three interviewers （54）Ato be the driver of the yellow car．We looked at each other for a while，（55）B silent．Then I decided to look （56）C the whole matter as a great joke!I （57）A and told him that I talked much the last time we met and that this time it was turn for him to talk a great deal．Lost in thought for a while，he （58）B that I was not going to say anything about his bad driving．The interview went （59）C．Two days later，I received a letter offering me the job．I was pleased that the manager-the driver of the yellow car，didn't （60）D my rudeness to him．Through the experience，I find something that seems impossible at first turns out to be good．
