Finding acceptance is a natural desire of most people .When we are young ,it is important for us to be accepted by a group and to be seen as "cool" by our friends and classmates .To do this ,we will often take up the views and interests of the group rather than develop our own.?

Over time, however ,we have the opportunity to learn to accept ourselves .People who have done this are confident in their true abilities; they do not feel the need to create a  façade  to impress other people .They are concerned with whether their actions produce worthwhile results rather than with how they are seen by others.?

Less secure（有把握的）people are quite different .Instead of finding security in themselves, they look for other people to provide it .This kind of person constantly agree with everything others suggest ,for fear of having their own ideas refused. Secure people do not give up when faced with a difficult situation ;they say "I can "rather than "I can’t". Knowing that each day is an opportunity to use their talents to acquire good health, good friendships ,and great happiness, they always do their best.?

Recognizing the details that we cannot change about ourselves is also a sign of personal growth. We cannot change our height ,so why waste energy complaining about being short ?Our energy would be better spent on more constructive projects .Instead of thinking about personal characteristics we are not satisfied with ,we ought to focus more on what we are good at .Such expressions as "love yourself "are about self-acceptance and confidence, as well as honesty and morality .We should consider them to be good advice, and treat them as signposts showing the way to happiness within.?

“BANG!” the door caused a reverberation(回聲)．It was just standing there, with Father standing on one side, and I on the other side．
We were both in great anger．“Never set foot in this house again!” stormed Father．With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street．
The street lights were shining rather desolately(凄涼的)．I wandered aimlessly．
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me．I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and harmonious．
But now… I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old．We differ in our ways of thinking．He always imposes his opinions and codes of behavior on me．Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it．We are just like two people coming from two different worlds．It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened．
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind．My heart was frozen on this hot summer night．As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company．When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on．
In fact, it was nothing．Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps．Perhaps he thought they were useless．I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps．I can’t stand his outrageous(蠻橫的) words: “ I can throw you away, let alone these old papers．”
All the lights were off except father’s．
Dad was always like this．Maybe he didn’t know how to express himself．After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret．After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking me underneath the covers．
This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature．
The light was still on．“Am I wrong?” I whispered, maybe… With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been．At last, I decided to open the door．As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks．I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all．Love is second to none．
【小題1】Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage．
a．I opened the door and entered the house．
b．Sadly I ran out into the street．
c．I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit．
d．I thought of my father’s kindness towards me．
e．I walked about in the street without any aim．

A．b, e, d, c, aB．b, e, c, d, aC．b, e, a, c, dD．b, e, c, a, d
【小題2】What made the writer think of his childhood?
A．The sight of the desolate street lights．
B．The sight of the empty street．
C．The sight of a father with a child in his arms．
D．The sight of light in his own house．
【小題3】Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A．Perhaps the father is getting older and older．
B．Perhaps the son has already grown up．
C．Perhaps they never agree with each other．
【小題4】What conclusion can you draw after reading the passage?
A．The father is actually kind to his son．
B．The father treats his son in an unfair way．
C．The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son．
D．The father is always finding fault with his son．
