Many people think self-confidence is the key to a happy, successful life. But where does self-confidence come from?       .
I’m Lucy. Self-confidence means that I can do something well. It’s even better if someone else tells you that you’re good at something, too. When people listen to me and pay attention to my ideas, I know they like me. When people don’t listen, I sometimes feel sad.     .
I’m Jeff. Respect from my family and friends makes me feel the best. I don’t care if I’m the best football player, or I don’t get the highest grade on a test, or don’t succeed at everything I do.       . If someone says something unkind about you, you don’t mind that much because you know they’re wrong—that means you have self-confidence.
I’m Sue. I really feel good when my mum gives me a hug and says,“Have a nice day!”before I leave the house. Also, one day in a store I asked a salesman where to find something, and to my surprise, he said,“You have a beautiful smile.” For the rest of the day I was happy. These kinds of things have to come naturally and from the heart, but they make a big difference in the way a person feels.
     . Believe that no matter who you are, you can build your own self-confidence.

A. I hope someone will care about me
B. You should remember“You can do it if you think you can.”
C. Here’s what some students have to say about it
D. I only care that I have tried my best and people respect me for it
E. Listening shows they care about me

Bats are the only flying mammal(哺乳类动物) in the world. They can’t see very well. It is long believed, in many places, that all bats are blind(瞎的). “Blind as a bat” is often heard.
Yet they have no trouble flying in the darkest nights and finding their way around. How can bats fly and see at night? They fly by radar (雷达).
The bat’s radar system works the same way as the one that ships and planes use. When a bat flies through the air, it makes sounds that people can’t hear. If the sounds hit things, they will come back. The bat’s ears can receive the messages. In this way it can know where the things are.
Bats go out to look for food at night. In the daytime they stay in some dark places. Some people think bats are bad animals. In fact, they are useful animals.
The bat has no trouble flying in the darkest nights because________.

A．its eyes are good
