For instance, people who have a 23 sense of self-esteem usually act with confidence. 24 they have self-assurance, they do not need constant praise and encouragement from others to feel 25 about themselves.
答案：(D) good
【句型】feel good about oneself 是字詞搭配，表示「對自己感覺良好」。best 是最高級不能直接修飾 feel，correct 語意不合，well 通常用於身體健康狀態（feel well＝身體好），此處講自我感覺用 good 更貼切。
本題大考中心未公布逐題答對率，以下不談數據，只談觀念。
feel well 與 feel good 只差一個字，中文都能說成「感覺很好」，是最容易混淆的一組。
四個選項都能接在 feel 後面，可見這一格考的是搭配與語意。整句是 they do not need constant praise and encouragement from others to feel ___ about themselves（他們不需要別人不斷的讚美與鼓勵，才能對自己感覺……）。固定說法是 feel good about oneself（對自己感覺良好、肯定自己），填 good。順便把 good 與 well 分清楚，這一組很常考：feel good 是感覺很好、心情或狀態不錯（I feel good today. 我今天感覺很好。）；feel well 是身體健康、沒有生病（I don’t feel well. 我不太舒服。）。本句講的是自我肯定，屬於前者。
well：講的是身體狀況，feel well about themselves 不成說法。best：最高級，前面要有 the，而且 feel the best about oneself 也不是通行的說法。correct（正確的）：feel correct 不成搭配，語意也不對。
feel good about oneself（對自己感覺良好）、feel well（身體舒服）、I don’t feel well.（我不太舒服）、think highly of oneself（看重自己）、believe in oneself（相信自己）、feel bad about（對……感到過意不去）。
