It can be really bad if someone sees you talking to yourself. But don't feel bad about it! Talking to yourself actually has a lot of good points.
You probably know that thinking is good for the brain. It helps us do things like making plans and managing our feelings. Speaking out loud is like showing this quiet inner speech. It can help us do better in different areas like school, sports and work.
When encouragement comes from oneself, it adds to self-confidence. A 2009 study invited 72 tennis players to take part in some matches. Researchers put the players into two groups: one group that said nothing while playing, and the other that talked to themselves while playing. They found that the self-talkers showed more confidence and played better than those in the silent group.
Talking to yourself, especially in the third person, can also help us manage bad feelings. "Referring to（提及）yourself in the third person leads people to think about themselves more similar to how they think about others," said Jason Moser, a professor from Michigan State University, US. This can help us see things from a different point of view, especially when we're feeling sad or angry.
Self-talk also helps improve memory. Researchers tested four different ways to memorize things: reading silently, reading aloud, listening to someone else read and listening to a recording of oneself reading. Those who read out loud recalled the information the best, researchers said in their study published in the journal Memory. It's because the information is likely to become a long-term memory if said out loud.
37. According to Paragraph 4, what can self-talking help to do
A. Keep things in mind longer. B. Develop a player's skills.
C. Improve one's confidence. D. Help us manage our feelings better.
38. What does the word "memorize" mean in the last paragraph
A. forget B. remember C. doubt D. lose
39. Which is the best title of this article
A. Think Differently in Our Lives. B. Believe in Ourselves.
C. Self-talk Helps. D. Be a Good Listener.
40. Which of the following shows the structure of the article
A. B. C. D.

What animal is black and white, cute and endangered 41 Here are some interesting facts about them.
Scientists are not sure what's behind their colour, but think it has to do with a way of keeping safe. The panda's white body colour helps it hide in the snow. 42 Other scientists believe that their colour may have something to do with finding a mate. However, not all pandas are black and white. There is also a rare brown and white panda.
Scientists say their round faces and way of walking remind us of human babies. 43 Similarly, the dark circles around the eyes make giant pandas' eyes appear larger, so they look so cute.
44 They have noticed that wild giant pandas normally start to be active before sunrise, rest and then reach a second active peak again before sundown and then rest until late at night. Daily activities often change with the seasons. In summer and autumn, for example, activity levels are much higher in the daytime than at night.
Many people like visiting pandas in the zoo. It's important for pandas to have a quiet environment. 45 Also, don't throw food to pandas unless the panda keeper tells you it's okay to do so, or it could cause them to get sick.
A. I am not afraid of them any more. B. Usually babies who have big eyes look cute. C. It can only be the giant panda. D. So don't make noises or sudden movements that might scare them. E. The black part helps it hide in the shade. F. Researchers have spent years studying giant pandas in the wild. G. They often feed giant pandas bamboo.

One day in spring, a storm moved into the village. Everyone rushed home to get inside. But Wen Tong rushed outside to his bamboo garden. He wanted to see what water on bamboo leaves looked like.
One hot day in summer, most people were inside their homes, trying to stay cool. But Wen Tong was outside in his bamboo garden. He wanted to see the bamboo clearly in the strong sunlight.
One day in fall, it was so windy that some people fell over when they stepped outside. But Wen Tong went outside to his bamboo garden. He wanted to see the bamboo leaves swaying in the wind.
One day in winter, it started to snow. All the other villagers were inside their homes, staying warm. But of course, Wen Tong was outside in his bamboo garden. He wanted to see the snow on the bamboo.
After many days just like these, he knew what bamboo looked like in all seasons, in all weather, and at all ages.
