Building Trust in a Relationship Again Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences. 36 Trust is a risk. But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake. Unfortunately, we've all been victims of betrayal. Whether we've been stolen from, lied to, misled, or cheated on, there are different levels of losing trust. Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore. 37 It's understandable, but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again, we have some steps you can take to get you there. ● 38 Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being. ● 39 If you've been betrayed, you are the victim of your circumstance. But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality". At some point in all of our lives, we'll have our trust tested or violated. ● You didn't lose "everything". Once trust is lost, what is left? Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle, look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life. 40 Instead, it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness.1. 36A: Learn to really trust yourself.B: It is putting confidence in someone.C: Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D: Remember that you can expect the best in return.E: They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.F: This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G: Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.2. 37A: Learn to really trust yourself.B: It is putting confidence in someone.C: Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D: Remember that you can expect the best in return.E: They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.F: This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G: Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.3. 38A: Learn to really trust yourself.B: It is putting confidence in someone.C: Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D: Remember that you can expect the best in return.E: They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.F: This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G: Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.4. 39A: Learn to really trust yourself.B: It is putting confidence in someone.C: Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D: Remember that you can expect the best in return.E: They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.F: This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationships.G: Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.5. 40A: Learn to really trust yourself.B: It is putting confidence in someone.C: Stop regarding yourself as the victim.D: Remember that you can expect the best in return.E: They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again.F: This knowledge carries over in their attitude toward their future relationship.G: Seeing the positive side of things doesn't mean you're ignoring what happened.

Call it the learning paradox：the more you struggle and even fail while you're trying to learn new information，the better you're likely to recall and apply that information later． The learning paradox is at the heart of"productive failure，"a phenomenon identified by researcher Manu Kapur points out that while the model adopted by many teachers when introducing students to new knowledge providing lots of structure and guidance early on，until the students show that they can do it on their own makes intuitive sense，it may not be the best way to promote learning．Rather，it's better to let the learners wrestle with the material on their own for a while，refraining from giving them any assistance at the start．In a paper published recently，Kapur applied the principle of productive failure to mathematical problem solving in three schools． With one group of students，the teacher provided strong"scaffolding"﹣﹣instructional support and feedback．With the teacher's help，these pupils were able to find the answers to their set of problems．Meanwhile，a second group was directed to solve the same problems by cooperating with one another，without any hints from their instructor．These students weren't able to complete the problems correctly．But in the course of trying to do so，they generated a lot of ideas about the nature of the problems and about what potential solutions would look like．And when the two groups were tested on what they'd learned the second group"significantly outperformed"the first． The apparent struggles of the second group have what Kapur calls a"hidden efficacy"：they lead people to understand the deep structure of problems，not simply their correct solutions．When these students meet with a new problem of the same type on a test，they're able to transfer the knowledge they've gathered more effectively than those who were the passive recipients of someone else's expertise． In the real world，problems rarely come neatly packaged，so being able to discern their deep structure is key．But，Kapur notes，none of us like to fail，no matter how often Silicon Valley entrepreneurs praise the beneficial effects of an idea that fails or a start﹣up company that crashes and burns．So we need to"design for productive failure"by building it into the learning process，Kapur has identified three conditions that promote this kind of beneficial struggle．First，choose problems to work on that"challenge but do not frustrate．"Second，provide learners with opportunities to explain and elaborate on what they're doing．Third，give learners the chance to compare and contrast good and bad solutions to the problems．And to those students who protest this tough﹣love teaching style：you'll thank me later． 59．Why does the author call the learning process a paradox？　 　 A．Pains do not necessarily lead to gains． B．What is learned is rarely applicable in life． C．Failure more often than not breeds success． D．The more is taught，the less is learned． 60．What does Kapur disapprove of in teaching？　 　 A．Asking students to find and solve problems on their own． B．Developing students ability to apply what they learn． C．Giving students detailed guidance and instruction． D．Allowing students a free hand in problem solving． 61．What kind of problem should be given to students to solve according to Kapur？　 　 A．It should be able to encourage collaborative learning． B．It should be easy enough so as not to frustrate students． C．It should be solvable by average students with ease． D．It should be difficult enough but still within their reach． 62．What can be expected of this tough﹣love teaching style？　 　 A．Students will be grateful in the long run． B．Teachers will meet with a lot of resistance． C．Parents will think it too harsh on their kids． D．It may not be able to yield the desired results．

Tai chi can relieve some of the most crippling symptoms of disabling conditions such as osteoarthritis, heart disease and chronic breathing problems in older people, a study shows. The ancient Chinese system of sports, which combines slow movements with deep breathing exercises, led to improvement in the physical function and muscle strength of people in their mid-50s to their mid-70s with those ailments or breast cancer.The findings should encourage health professionals to prescribe tai chi for patients with osteoarthritis or chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), the Canadian authors say in the British Journal of Sports Medicine.“The results demonstrated a favorable effect or tendency of tai chi to improve physical performance and showed that this type of exercise could be performed by individuals with different chronic conditions, including COPD, heart failure and osteoarthritis”, the authors say.They analyzed 33 previous studies of evidence relating to the effectiveness of tai chi, involving data from 1,584 people. Taken together they “showed that tai chi improved or showed a tendency to improve physical performance outcomes, including six-minute walking distance and knee extensor strength, in most or all four chronic conditions.” The exercises also led to less pain and stiffness among osteoarthritis sufferers.NHS England said it believed that some general practitioners, other doctors and occupational therapists were prescribing tai chi to some patients, though it did not know how many were doing so or how much sessions of the exercise regime cost.Public Health England said tai chi was a valuable boost to physical activity. “Keeping physically active at any age is important for health, especially as you get older. Simple exercises like tai chi can be beneficial for mental health and well-being as well as building the confidence and stability,” said Dr. Justin Varney, national lead for adult health and well-being. “This contributes to the recommended 150 minutes a week of moderate activity and two sessions a week of muscle strengthening and balance exercises for older adults.”1. What do we learn from the first paragraph?A) Tai chi is a slow breathing exercise.B) Tai chi can relive muscle strength.C) Tai chi is beneficial to senior patients. D) Tai chi can improve disabling conditions.2. What is the finding of the Canadian authors?A) Tai chi has better effect on physical performance than on muscle strength.B) Tai chi has a good effect on the improvement of physical performance. C) Tai chi cannot be practiced by those people with chronic disorder.D) Tai chi can only relieve crippling symptoms of disabling conditions.3. What does the word “regime” (Para.5) most probably refer to?A) A detailed plan about someone’s daily life.B) A set of rules someone follows to stay healthy. C) A method of organizing something.D) A system of managing something.4. What does Dr. Justin Varney say about tai chi?A) It is useful for establishing confidence and stability. B) It can help people remain in good shape.C) It can help people cure mental problems.D) It is particularly advantageous to older adults.5.
