Why not find a new friend in 2025—yourself! You may want to get love and care from a good friendship. Well, you shouldn't have to go far to find them.
Loving yourself, also called self-love, means being as kind to yourself as you
are to others. You give love and care to your friends and family. Then give them yourself too. Becky Goddard-Hill, the writer of Create Your Own Confidence, says it means speaking to yourself with kindness. It also means taking really good care of your body and mind.
Studies show that self-love is good for your schoolwork, health and friendships. Self-love makes you believe in yourself. It makes you feel that you deserve(值得) good things, such as kind friends and fun experiences. It doesn't mean you'll be happy all the time. But when you face challenges, you will be confident.
Start by being kind instead of being angry. When you make a mistake, don't get angry with yourself. You can tell yourself, "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. It's OK. Why did I make this mistake? I need to find it out and avoid it next time."
Remember that no one is perfect. Becky also suggests writing down your strengths. "Looking at the list often will help bring out the best in you," says Becky.

答案
1.B 2.A 3.C 4.C
解析
1. 细节理解题:根据第二段"You give love and care to your friends and family. Then give them to yourself too."可知作者认为我们也需要给自己爱与关怀。A选项与原文"you shouldn't have to go far to find them"表述不符,C、D选项内容文中完全没有提及,因此选B。
2. 细节理解题:根据倒数第二段"I need to find it out and avoid it next time."可知犯错后要从错误中总结经验,下次避免同类错误。B选项和原文"don't get angry with yourself"相悖,C选项只提到了人人会犯错,没有覆盖原文后续的找原因避错的内容,D选项文中没有提到要快速忘记错误,因此选A。
3. 推理判断题:最后一段提到Becky建议写下自己的优点(strengths),清单内容需要是自身的优势、闪光点。A、B、D都是正向的个人优势/值得肯定的内容,C选项"Wendy很少认同我"是负面的、不属于个人优点的内容,不应该出现在清单上,因此选C。
4. 主旨大意题:全文围绕"自爱"展开,开篇就点明主题:2025年找一个新朋友,这个新朋友就是你自己,呼吁我们善待自己、做自己的朋友。A选项文中未提及父母相关内容,B选项只是文中的局部细节,D选项偏离核心主题,核心是善待自己而非对待他人,因此最佳标题选C。
