Sometimes, you feel as if youre on top of the worldBut occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem （自尊） is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.Forget about self-esteem, says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist （心理学家） at the University of Michigan, US. Its not the important thing.Feeling goodCrockers advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.He believes that violent and wicked （邪恶的） people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: Theres no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.Problems All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos （自我） that can make them less likeable to their peers （同龄人）, said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.What to doResearchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. The best therapy （药方） is to recognize your faults, Vohs says. Its OK to say, Im not so good at that, and then move on.56The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem _.Ais not important at allBhas taken on a different meaningCmay not be the key to successDdoes not help you do better at school57One of the conclusions of the new research is that _.Afeeling good about oneself doesnt mean you lead a happier lifeBpeople with high esteem usually do not seek others helpCpeople with high esteem tend to be proudDpeople with low esteem are often more popular58The underlined part “a better person” in the passage probably means a person who is _.Ahelpful and supportive Bgentle and modest Clikable and successful Dfriendly and kind59From the text, we can infer the best therapy mentioned in the last paragraph is mainly for people _.

The body was carried off the plane in Cairo in a box draped in Egypts flag.The Michael Carlos Museum gave it back after tests showed it was probably that of the man who ruled 3000 years ago. The US museum acquired（得到）it three years ago from a Canadian museum, which in turn is thought to have bought it from Egyptian grave robbers in 1860. The mummy was welcomed back home with songs and military band music during a ceremony at the national museum in Cairo.Zahi Hawass, head of Egypts Supreme Council of Antiquities（文物最高委员会）, traveled from the US with the body and said it would be moved next year to the Luxor Museum in southern Egypt. “We are not 100% sure that the mummy is that of Ramses 1,” said Mr. Hawass. “But we are 100%sure that it is of a king.”Atlantas Michael Carlos Museum acquired the mummy in 1999, but offered to return it after hi-tech scanning（扫描）equipment indicated it was likely to be that of Ramsea1. The museum website said it had been acquired from the Niagara Falls Museum. It is thought a Canadian collector bought the mummy for the Niagara Falls Museum around 1860 from an Egyptian family which had stumbled on（偶然发现）a tomb filled with royal mummies at a site near Luxor.Mr. Hawass praised the handover（移交）as “ a great, civilized gesture”. And he appealed（呼吁）to other world museums to return Egypts antiquities, particularly the Rosetta Stone in the British Museum and the Bust of Nefertiti in the Berlin Museum.60Just before the handover, Ramses mummy was kept in _.Athe Luxor Museum Bthe Michael Carlos Museum Cthe Niagara Falls Museum Da Canadian museum61Which is the correct order of the following according to the passage?aThe mummy returned home.bThe mummy was kept in the Niagara Falls Museum.cEgyptian grave robber sold the mummy.dThe
