　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　 Ⅰ.阅读理解 A Being the eldest son of my parents，I became the “big boy” of the family.My parents gave me the status of a “big boy” and started giving me the tasks that were somewhat challenging for me at that young age.Whenever I had some hesitation in doing a certain task，they used to encourage me by saying，“you are a big boy，you can do it”．Though I was a small boy at that time but my confidence level grew to the new heights and I started behaving myself as a big boy.That “big boy” concept slowly developed into the “I can do” philosophy which has helped me a lot throughout my life. The “I can do” philosophy prepares you mentally，as well physically，and helps you to do what otherwise you think you cannot do.The “big boy” concept boosts your inner energy level to such an extent where you start believing “you can do”．And that is the starting point which opens the doors of success for you. Whenever I have to face a challenge，I say to myself “I can do it because I am a big boy” and that encourages me a lot in overcoming my fears and provides my body with the extra energy needed to do that “impossible” task. The “big boy” concept is always helpful to anyone.It takes away all your weaknesses and thus enables you to accept big challenges.By accepting big challenges，you invite big opportunities and thus get big rewards. Success in life comes to the people who think big，act big and are willing to accept big responsibilities.Make yourself feel big.Plan something big.Surprise your colleagues by accepting big responsibilities.Be always willing to do big tasks.Once you accept yourself as a big boy or a big girl then nothing can come in your way of success. 1．Why did the author’s parents give him the status of a “big boy”？ A．To make him feel proud of himself.
