Many of us mistakenly believe that it's wrong to think we have any good qualities．We may spend a lot of time blaming ourselves for our negative qualities, thinking that self criticism is the key to improving our performance．However, a constant focus on our supposed shortcomings can stop our efforts to make friends with other people．How can we believe that others could like us if we believe our inner being is flawed（有缺陷）?
If someone seems to dislike you, the reason for that dislike might have little or nothing to do with you．The person who doesn't like you might be fearful, or shallow, or busy or shy．Perhaps you and that person are simply a mismatch for each other at this particular time．
Don't take yourself out of the game by deciding that your flaws are bigger than your good qualities．In fact, some of the very qualities you consider to be flaws may be irresistible to someone else．For all the factors that might cause one person to reject you, there are at least as many factors that will work in your favor with someone else．
You might be thirty pounds over your ideal weight, but you may have a wonderful laugh and a real
enthusiasm for life．There are many people who don’t mind your extra pounds．You may drive a shabby car, but you might be a great dancer and a loyal friend．There are people out there looking for loyalty, or fun, or sweetness, or wisdom, and the package it comes in is not important．If you are worried that you are not beautiful enough to attract friends, keep in mind that not everyone is looking for physical beauty in their friends．You can decide to feel inferior（自卑） because you don't have much money and you don't drive a nice car．You can believe that this is the reason that you don't have many friends in your life．On the other hand, if you are very wealthy you may be suspicious that everyone is after your money and that nobody really likes you as a person．
The point is that you can focus on just about anything and believe it's the reason you do not have friends and cannot make any．
28．According to the author ___________ plays an important role in making friends．
A．admitting your shortcomings C．modesty
B．self criticism D．confidence
29．If you are not liked by a person, _________．
A．you should find the reason in yourself B．you’d better talk with the person face to face C．you may not be the one to be blamed D．you and that person misunderstand each other
30．We can learn from the third paragraph that ____________ ．
A．your good qualities may turn out to be your flaws B．your weakness may also be your strengths in some way C．your negative qualities cause a person to reject you
D．you’ll have few friends if your flaws are bigger than your good qualities 31．Which of the following is true according to the author?
A．It is important to lose weight．
B．It is easier for a wealthy person to make friends．
C．Inner qualities are more important than physical appearance． D．If you are not beautiful enough, try to improve your physical beauty．

Grandma celebrated her fifty-third birthday just weeks before grandpa died of cancer in 1965．Although his passing was very difficult for her, I think their shared struggle to make his life longer taught grandma that good health was not to be taken for granted, and she made up her mind to live the rest of her own life as fully and as long as she could．One day, when she announced to attend lessons at the Fred Astaire Dance Studio in Portland, Oregon, where she lived, we rolled our eyes in embarrassment and helplessly wished she would just stay home and bake cookies as normal grandmothers did．Many years
filled with countless dance lessons passed before we learned to appreciate the wonder of having a dancing grandma．
I suppose grandma's primary motivation for wanting to learn to dance was social．She had been a shy girl, always very tall and heavy, and had married into grandpa's quiet lifestyle before developing any elegance or confidence in her personal appearance．Dancing, on the other hand, filled her life with flash lights, wonderful parties, beautiful dresses, handsome young dance instructors, and the challenge of learning．Although the weekly dance lessons did not change her ample, two-hundred-pound figure, grandma surprised everyone with energetic performances on the dance floor, which soon gave her as much elegance and confidence as any Miss American competitor．
Having taken weekly dance lessons for years, my grandma learned various dances easily and was soon participating in dancing matches all over the Northwest．When I was fourteen, grandma proudly invited me to watch her compete in one of these matches to be held in the grand ballroom of the Red Lion Inn．My attitude was still unenthusiastic at that point, but to make her happy, my mother and I attended the match．As if to prove me wrong, grandma made a wonderful showing in every event she entered．I thought she was truly the queen of the ball during the dance, and my thoughts were shared by the judges a short time later when she was awarded a gold cup for her outstanding performance． 32．What did grandma learn from grandpa's death?
A．Good health was not there for everyone． B．She should take dance lessons． C．She had to struggle to live a better life． D．She should wear beautiful dresses．
33．How did the author's family feel when Grandma decided to take dance lessons?
A．Hopeless．
B．Helpless． D．Proud． B．proud D．uninterested
C．Embarrassed． A．happy
34．The author felt ______ when he was invited to watch grandma's match．
C．excited
35．The text is mainly about________．
A．my grandma's confidence B．my dancing grandma C．my grandma's dancing
D．my grandma's gold cup
