Self-esteem (自尊) and Self-confidence ① Think back to when you did something new for the first time.Self-confidence isn’t always what we think it is.Many experts say that self-confidence and self-esteem are different.Self-confidence is about what we can do by virtue of our efforts.It grows along with the quality of the effort.
② Self-esteem is more fundamental (基本的) and is about the feeling of being worth something, just because we are who we are, and not because we have done something.A good sportsman can have a huge success and self-confidence, because .he’s good at his sport.In the same time his self-esteem can be low, if his parents have never recognized and diveasured him for the person he is deep inside, but only for his performances in sports.
③ Build self-esteem if you were not born with it.Some people just have it, as if they were born with it.They talk in front of a crowd of people, sell themselves at job interviews or start an interesting conversation with people they’ve never met before.
④ Self-confidence isn’t something you receive as a birth gift.It’s something you develop gradually as you turn over the pages of the thick book of life.If you work goal-directed to improve your belief in yourself, you’ll eventually build up your courage to do what self-assured (自信的) people find natural, instead of developing pounding hearts, breathing difficulties and divembling hands.
⑤ Regardless of fear and shyness you’ll have to get out of your hiding to improve your self-confidence.Be more visible to your surroundings.Do something else than you used to.Try yourself in different situations.We all have many great abilities that just have to be exposed.

16.B 本段的中心句是“Self-confidence is about what we can do by virtue of our efforts.（自信是指我们通过自己的努力做到了一些事情。）”。再根据本段多次出现的中心词“self-confidence”的提示可知，本段论述的是关于自信是什么。B项符合原文意思，故选B。
17.A 本段第一句为中心句“Self-esteem is…about the feeling of being worth something…（自尊要更加基础，它是一种你值得拥有的感觉。并不是因为你做了什么，而是因为你是谁）”。本段都是围绕这个中心展开论述，A项符合原文意思，故选A。
18.C 本段第一句为中心句“Build self-esteem if you were not born with it.（如果你的自尊不是与生俱来，那就后天好好培养吧。）”。由此可推出，有些人的自尊是与生俱来的，有些人是后天培养的。C符合原文意思，故选C。
