College students, in their own eyes and in the eyes of the public, are expected to get at least a proper job, if not working in a high-income or white-collar position.Cai Yong’s decision to work as a shoe shiner shocked not only his parents, who had high hopes for him, but also his girlfriend.“It is right for young graduates to be ambitious (有抱负的). But they have to start in a solid and down-to-earth way,〞 Cai said. Cai is not alone in making such a choice. The company has got 12 college students in all.“I come for the 800 yuan monthly pay,〞 said Xiao Ji, who is a student from Nanjing University. “I have grown up and no longer live on my parents,〞 he said.“Working as shoe shiners can mean a bright future,〞 Cai said.Not everyone can accept this job choice. Cai’s girlfriend left him because she felt ashamed to be with a shoe shiner, and Cai accepted the fact. “This is the price to be paid for a job,〞 he said.A former shoe shiner, Zhong Haibo, from a medical college, believes it was a good training for the rest of his life. “There is nothing I can’t do after working as a shoe shiner,〞 Zhong said, meaning that such kind of experience in early life is helpful in a future job.56.

These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life. Financial experts say that every one also has their own belief of how to manage their money. According to ourdifferent values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail.The ant — works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks(股票) with low risk.The cricket〔蟋蟀〕— fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance(保险).The snail 〔蜗牛〕— lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves. They take big long-term loans(贷款) from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses. They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure they can afford it. This can cause problems in the future. They should plan more carefully.64. One’s values may__________.A. be his ways of managing moneyB. be his beliefs about societyC. determine his family and educationD. influence his behavior65. Mr. Smith always enjoys spending a weekend with his friends, fishing, hunting and playing cards. Moreover, he spends money in a very luxurious way. So, _____.A. Mr. Smith belongs to the ant typeB.

She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself. “What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a …”“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation… ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.One day I found myself in the same situation. The clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title．“What is your occupation?” she asked.The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.I repeated the title slowly, and then I stared with wonder as my statement was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.“Might I ask,” said the clerk with new interest, “Just what you do in this field?”Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing p rogram of research (what mother doesn’t）, in the lab and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (依托) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants---ages 13, 7, and 3.Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6 month old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern．I felt proud!

There were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wutheri ng Heights. The youngest sister, Anne, was also a gifted novelist, and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’.Their father was Patrick Bronte, born in Ireland. He moved with his wife, Maria Bronte, and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after, Mrs Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816. Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820. Their brother Branwell was born in 1817. Left to themselves, the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills. They grew up largely self-educated. Branwell showed a great interest in drawing. The girls were determined to earn money for his art education. They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories. Charlotte, as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books, each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting. Therefore, they turned to writing for income. By 1847, Charlotte had written The Professor, Emily, Wuthering Heights; and Anne, Agnes Grey. After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher, but there was no interest shown in Charlotte’s book. (It was not published until 1859.) However, one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work. Jane Eyre was already started, and she hurriedly finished it. It was accepted at once; thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful; the other two, however, did not do so well. People did not like Wuthering Heights. They said it was too wild, too animal-like. But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language. Emily lived only a short while after the publication of her book, and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849 and Villette in 1853. In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls. But only a year later, she died of tuberculosis(肺结核) as her sisters had.11. What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell Bronte?A. Help him write stories.B. Help him get trained in art.C. Teach him how to draw well.D. Teach him how to educate himself.12. We know from the text that____.A. Jane Eyre was published in 1847B.

When driving your kid, deliver and pick them up as close to the school as possible. Don’t leave until they are in the schoolyard or building.e. If your child rides a bike to school, make sure he wears a standard helmet （头盔）. Research shows that a helmet can reduce the risk of head injury by 85%.f. Teach your kid to arrive at the bus stop earlier, stay off the street, and wait for the bus to come to a complete stop.g.

Maybe not directly, but a study finds that people who went to college are less at riskof heart disease than other less-educated people. The study shows that blood pressure levels of people who didn’t go to college are much h igher than that of college graduates. The study conducted（进行）physical examinations of thousands of people over 30 years. The men who didn’t continue their studies after high school had higher blood pressure than the men who completed college education. Meanwhile, the difference in women was even more obvious. A higher blood pressure level is a great risk factor for heart disease.So how is it that the stress of trying to finish papers and assignments （作业）at college actually reduces students’ blood pressure ?Most possibly, it is not education itself that lowers heart disease risk but other factors related to education. Generally, people without a college education earn less money , and other research shows that poverty is another factor of heart disease risk. Besides, there is an connection between poverty and obesity（肥胖）,which also has a negative effect on heart health.It looks like going to college has become more attractive : education benefits not only your brain but also your health.66.

It is the address of the White House, the home of the president of the United States.Originally the White House was gray and was called the presidential Palace. It was built from 1792 to 1800. At this time, the city of Washington itself was being built. It was to be the nation’s new capital city. George Washington, the first president, and Pierre Charles L'Enfant, a French engineer, chose the place for the new city. L'Enfant then planned the city. The president's home was an important part of the plan.A contest was held to pick a design for the president's home. An architect named James Hoban won. He designed a large three-story house of gray stone. President Washington never lived in the Presidential Palace. The first president to live there was John Adams, the second president of the United States, and his wife Mrs.Adams did not really like her new house. In her letters, she often complained about the cold. Fifty fireplaces were not enough to keep the house warm.In 1812 the United States and Britain went to war. In 1814 the British invaded Washington. They burned many buildings, including the Presidential Palace. After the war James Hoban, the original architect, partially rebuilt the president’s home. To cover the marks of the fire, the building was painted white. Before long it became known as the White House.The White House is one of the most popular tourist attractions in the United States. Every year more than 1.5 million visitors go through the five rooms that are open to the public.16. The White House was built in Washington_____.A. because a French engineer was invited to design itB. because President George Washington liked to live in itC. because the British invaders lived in it in1812-1814D. because it was to be the nation’s capital city17.

She smiled as she led her students to the bus that would take them to the Greenly Apple Orchard （果园）.The bus ride was bumpy(颠簸的) and the kids were a little noisy, but still Miss Joan was smiling.The bus stopped in front of the Greenly Apple Orchard and the class got off quickly and quietly. Miss Joan made sure everyone was there. “What a glorious, sunny, apple picking day,” Miss Joan announced with her grandest smile. Mr. Greenly was there to greet them. “Let’s see, there are eighteen children and two adul ts at three dollars each. That will be sixty dollars, please.”Miss Joan held up the brochure in her hand. “It says that the price is twodollars each,” she pointed out. “That’s what I collected from everyone.”“We’ve had to raise the price,” Mr. Greenly s tated.“You sent me this brochure after we made our reservation,” Miss Joan complained, “and it says two dollars!”“Miss Joan, if you look at the bottom of this brochure,” Mr. Greenly said, “you’ll notice very important statement.”Sure enough, in very tin y letters, it said, “Prices are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan was determined to keep her good mood. She took a twenty dollars bill out of her own purse and handed it to Mr. Greenly with the forty dollars she had in an envelope.“Now children, do you all have your baskets?” Miss Joan called out. “Remember, each of you can pick as many apples as possible.”Mr. Greenly said, “You can’t pick as many apples as possible.”“I beg your pardon!” Miss Joan was not smiling now. “The brochure says, ‘ALL YOU CAN PICK’!”Mr. Greenly pointed to the tiniest letters Miss Joan had ever almost seen. It also says, “Terms(条款) and conditions of group reservations are subject to change without notice.”Miss Joan’s good mood was now history. She didn’t want to set a bad example for her students, so she said in a calm and quiet voice, “We’re going home, give me our money back, please.”20.

In the past, athletes only trained to get physically fit.Today, professional sports psychologists use scientific techniques（技术）to help athletes get spiritually fit too.British player Johnny Wilkinson described some of the pressures he had felt. He played very well at the 2020 World Cup but after that he couldn’t play well. He found that he had a terrible fear of failure. With the help of sports psychologists, he realized that reality changes depending on how we look at it and then everything went better.In team sports, psychologists help players in different ways, one of which is to create a team spirit. “It’s very difficult to get all the players to think in the same way, but when you see a team that works as a unit, everything happens naturally and easily, ” said Professor Dave Collins, a sports psychologist.When there is a team spirit, the players all take responsibility and don’t blame individual players for mistakes. In this way ,they feel more confident and can concentrate better. Sometimes players are under a lot of pressure in a game. For example, a player may have to take a penalty kick. To reduce his fear of making a mistake, sports psychologists use a method called visualization（可视化）. Psychologists simply ask players to imagine taking a perfect penalty. When players do this, certain areas of the brain become active. An interesting fact is that they are the same areas of the brain as when the player takes the real penalty.Today sports psychologists have an important job to do. They help athletes become spiritually fit and develop a winning mentality（必胜信念）. Havinga winning mentality can really make a difference between winning and losing.56. What can we learn from the first paragraph?A. All sports people were mentally unhealthy in the past.B. Sports psychologists can control athletes’ mind in the match.C. Wrong views on success have bad effects on athletes’ spiritual health.D. Some scientific methods have replaced traditional trainings.57. Wilkinson felt better as he realized that_________.A. everything was changing and was difficult to expectB. things turned to be good when we looked at it differentlyC. psychology was very important to an athlete like himD. it was unnecessary for him to control his mind58. What’s the importance of a team spirit according to the text?A. It can increase players’ sense of responsibility.B. It guarantees the perfect performance of everyone.C. It controls the athletes’ mind when necessary.D. It makes all athletes more skillful during a match.59. It can be inferred from the text that_________A. sports psychologists always ask athletes to use their imaginationB. the spirits of a psychologist can decide the outlook of a teamC. athletes need to play with psychologists to improve their skillsD. an active attitude usually helps players do better in real actionNew words________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New phrases________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __New sentences________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ __三、完型: 36－40 CABDB 41－45 CACDB 46－50 DADCB 51－55 ABCDA56-59 CBAD。

After years of hard work，his dream has come true. The house is now in the early stages of building.Six years ago，Josh and his dad went into a Habitat for Humanity Restore，a home improvement store and donation center run by the nonprofit organization. They were there to buy a sink. Josh, then 11，also noticed a collection of pennies.“I instantly felt the urge to help out with that，”he said. Josh set a fundraising(筹款) deadline of four years. Many people doubted whether he could reach his goal of $100，000，but it didn't shake his faith. He raised money at his school and other nearby schools. He collected money from neighbors, got publicity from local newspapers，and placed cans in stores so that people could donate extra change.Josh's fundraising efforts began to produce results. Still, there were challenges. Four months before his deadline，he was $30，000 short. He decided to hold a Family Fun Fair and Spaghetti Dinner in Uxbridge，which is in the province of Ontario. The event raised $19，000.“I didn't care how long it took me，”Josh said.“I would raise $100，000.”With three weeks left，a company called Josh's house，offering to donate $18，000.Eventually，Josh reached a total of $124，000 before his deadline.“The momentum just kept going，and we decided to do more，”he said.“Josh's Penny House” is being built by Habitat for Humanity in the city of Oshawa，along with 24 new townhouses. Josh has helped with some of the construction，as have other volunteers. He will choose the family that moves into the unit.Next year，the 17-year-old will head to college in British Columbia，Canada's westernmost province. As a 11-year-old kid when starting fundraising，Josh was able to send a powerful message across the world.

Bake sales have proven to be highly profitable toward schools with young people because the start-up costs are very small. Allie，a Roslyn High School freshman , agrees that bake sales are needed for school supplies.“l think it’s wrong for schools to ban bake sales because a lot of schools need the money to be raised. Our school could really use the money for new uniforms.”Allie also commented on the bake sales apparent cause of child overweight. “I fe el that it is the student’s choice to eat the baked goods. lf they want it, let them have it．”Jessica，another Roslyn High School freshman, had a different opinion.“I feel that children can not always stay away from items such as cupcakes. It might be better if the amount of bake sales were limited, and only allowed students to buy one item.”New York Education advisors are having trouble coming up with substitute product for students to sell. A plan of advertising healthier foods has come into play. However the department needs to consider if students will go for items like vegetables. Allie and Jessica don’t think so.“Students might not like the healthier foods. This way, the schools are gaining less money.”Allie shares. Another plan to think about is the idea of not selling food products altogether. Alternate programs are being conducted throughout New York schools，such as walk-a-thons, as a healthy way for students to earn money for their schools．21．The new “wellness”policy is declared in order to_______．A. help schools out of budget difficultiesB. reduce child overweight caused by bake foodC. help students save money spent on foodD. reduce the price of bake food sold in schools22.

According to Jessica, the cupcakes____________A. don’t belong to the bake salesB. shouldn’t be banned at schoolC. mustn’t be sold at schoolsD. can be fully replaced by vegetables24. Which is both healthy and profitable way for schools to earn money?A. The bake sales.B. The vegetables salesC. The walk-a-thons.D. The food product sales．25.

Soon the shoes will have new owners: under privileged children in the United States and 20 other countries, thanks to Woodburn’s Share Our Soles( SOS) charity.A high school track star in the beach town of Ventura, Woodburn was once sidelined for months with foot injuries.“I started thinking about all the things I got from running---the health benefits, the friendships，the confidence,”he says.“And I realized there are children who don’t even have shoes.” Woodburn gathered up his own slightly worn sneakers，then put out a call to teammates．His goal was to have 100 pairs by Christmas ．When the count climbed to more than 500 pairs, (“everything snowballed,”he says) he decided to turn the shoe drive into a year-round effort.Back then, the sneakers came from donation boxes and the local sporting goods store and from door-to-door pickups. Woodburn has now set up collection boxes at two high schools and area races. To date, SOS has collected and donated more than 3000 pairs.In just under three years，Woodburn has started three chapters of Share Our Soles：the original in Ventura, another at USC ,and one at the College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts last January，when a student there wrote asking to get involved．The organization’s website, , keeps and distributes sneakers and sells wrist bands and socks(the money earned from that goes toward new shoes and socks for children)．26.

On the contrary, a lack of such playin g can create stress for both children and parents, and it also cause obesity (肥胖) when children spend too much time sitting in front of educational videos. The report notes lack of playing could even lead to depression in many children.The reports thinks the lack of playtime lies in the fact that parents want to have super – smartchildren and safe places for children to play is decreasing. A balance between free playing and education activates should be struck, the report sates.“In the current environmen t, where so many parents feel pressure to be super parents, I believe this message is an important one,” said Dr. Kenneth Ginsburg, the report’s lead author and a pediatrician (小儿科医师) at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.Noted pediatrician, author, and presenter of cable TV’s “What Every Baby Knows,” DR. T. Betty Brazeltion agreed. Children with structured activities are missing the chance to dream, to make their own world work the way they want it.

Russia and the US, the only two countries to have achieved manned flight, are struggling to keep their new investment, the international space station.But China, which has a long tradition in physics, mathematics and engineering, finds its doctoral graduates welcomed in the US and Europe for decades. And it has been able to learn from 40 years of pioneering successes and mistakes by the USSR and the USA.Space flight is a gamble and the stakes (赌注) are high. If successful, China could become a member of the world's most exclusive club, set up a second home on the moon and get a powerful hand at the strategic bargaining table.Two designers from the Shenzhou III project said that 12 astronauts now are undergoing intensive training.

2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第11天阅读理解A Chat OnlineYour friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in (登陆) on Friday nights, and Saturday or Sunday when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you are talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe on line.”Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to be known to someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolishthings,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Australia, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.“If you are really addicted to (上瘾) it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”56.People meet face to face offline when they think they ______.A. have known each other wellB. have the same interestC. have enough free timeD. have nothing to do57. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is _____.A. the biggest messaging service in ChinaB. a good place to spend her time when boredC. a safe place to chat with strangersD. the best place to make friends58.From the passage, we know “…they are all just a few clicks away”means ______.A. it is wonderful to see your friends by clickingB. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friendsC. it is possible to live much closer to your friendsD. it is popular to make friends online59. Which of the following is the opinion of the Beijing boy named Simon?A. All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.B. Chatting online can save a lot of time and money than making telephone calls.C. We should always be careful about boys or men online.D. We should think more of our friends in real life.BFriends play an important part in our lives, and although we may think that friendship comes only too naturally, we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few--- for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy( 亲密) between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary(变化) greatly. As we get to know people, we often think about things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background(背景).Some friendly friendships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests --- they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with other s’ bad habits and to stand differences. What is different from marriage about friendship is that there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relation between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to creature a powerful bond(契约), which can get over differences in background, and break down barriers(障碍) of age, class or race.60. According to the passage, _____.A. friends are those who must share their interestsB. friends are closer than people who just get on with each otherC.all the people know how to make friendsD. every student has six friends61. We can learn from the passage that ____.A. friendship can overcome all differences between two peopleB. there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendshipC. standing differences in opinion can lead to friendshipD. friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices62．When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,’they mean that they ____.A. watch the same TV programsB. are the same in all waysC. have the same backgroundD. share the same way of thinking and the same interests63．Which of the following is NOT implied(暗示) in the passage?A. Even friends may have different opinionsB. Friends never argue with each other.C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.CI had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do thingsover which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother' s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.64. The writer’s pare nts allowed their kids to travel so that _______.A. it could make the kids become braverB. the kids could earn some pocket moneyC. the kids could find jobs more easilyD. it could bring good to the kids’ future65. The writer thinks _________.A. his brother gained valuable experiences during the travelB. his brother earned a lot of money by workingC. his brother didn't disappoint his fatherD. his brother's travel was better than his to France66. Which of the following statements is True?A. The author went to France in order to see his relatives.B. The author's mother managed to stop the kids doing dangerous traveling.C. The author' s brother gave up his university to travel in the USA and the Caribbean.D. Many American parents encourage their kids do things independently to prepare for the future.67.

He stood out because the kids made fun of him. He was missing one of his fingers, and always pointed at students with his middle finger.I was not very good at English and math. No matter how hard I tried, I just could not know why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.One day, I was told that if I got one more E on my report card, I would be taken to the “big prison for kids”.I tried really hard for weeks. I just couldn’t understand how to make different parts of numbers into whole things.The day before report cards were to come out, I knew that Mr Young would give me an E, just like he always did.I went to Mr. Young and told him that the orphanage (孤儿院) was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card. He told me there was nothing he could do; it would be unfair（不公平） to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned. I smiled at him and said, “Mr. Young, do you know how the kids make fun of you because you’re missing your fin ger?”He looked at me, moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.“They shouldn’t do that to you because you can’t help not having a finger, Mr Young. Just like I can’t help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that,” I said.The next day, when I got my report card, I tucked it into one of my books. While on the school bus, I opened it: Geography, B+; Mechanical Drawing, C-;English, D-; History, C-; Gym, B+; Art, C; Math, D-.That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received. Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.21.

2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第10天阅读理解AEvery year on my birthday, from the time I turned 12, a white gardenia was delivered to my house. No card came with it. Calls to the flower-shop were not helpful at all. After a while ,I stopped trying to discover the sender’s name and just delighted in the beautiful white flower in soft pink paper. But I never stopped imagining who the giver might be. Some of my happiest moments were spent daydreaming about the sender. My mother encouraged these imaginings. She’d ask me if there was someone for whom I had done special kindness. Perhaps it was the old man across the street whose mail I’d delivered during the winter. As a girl, though, I had more fun imagining that it might be a boy I had run into.One month before my graduation, my father died. I felt so sad that I became completely uninterested in my upcoming graduation dance, and I didn’t care if I had a new dress or not. But my mother, in her own sadness, would not let me miss any of those things. She wanted her children to feel loved and lovable. In truth, my mother wanted her children to see themselves much like the gardenia—lovely, strong and perfect with perhaps a bit of mystery . My mother died ten days after I was married. I was 22. That was the year the gardenia stopped coming.56. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?A. A Childhood Dream.B. A Mother’s Love.C. A Graduation Party.D. A Special Birthday.57. The mother insisted that her daughter go to the graduation dance because _______.A. she could take care of things herselfB. she hoped she would find a boyfriendC. she wanted her to be happy and strongD. she thought education was most important58. Who was the sender of the flower?A. A boy the writer had run into.B. One of the writer’s neighbors.C. One of the writer’s classmates.D. The writer’s motherBHave you ever hear a saying, “Never judge a book by its cover.”? This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence of others. Some people have minds that shine only in certain situations. A young man with an unusual gift in writing may find himself speechless before a pretty girl when he speaks. He may not be able to find the right words. But don’t make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself better than anybody else.Other people may fool you into overestimating their intelligence by putting up a good front. A student who listens attentively and takes notes in class is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.In a word, you can’t judge someone by appearance. The only way to determine a person’s intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can see how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you see, the better your judgment is likely to be. So take your time. Don’t judge a book by its cover.59. The passage suggests that ______.A. a good writer may not be a good speakerB. a good writer is always a good speakerC. a speechless person always writes wellD. a good writer will find himself speechless60. According to this passage, a student who listens attentively and takes notes in class ______.A. is an intelligent studentB. may not be an intelligent studentC. will score better in examsD. will not be a good student61. The passage suggests that we should judge a person’s intelligence through ______.A. his teachersB. his deeds in the classroomC. his appearanceD. his reactions to different situations62. The writer of this passage wants to tell us not to______.A. judge a book by its coverB. make the mistake of thinking a young man stupidC. overestimate a student’s intelligenceD. judge a person’s intelligence by his appe aranceCVisitors worry that London is an expensive city but therereally are so many things to do for free in London frommuseums and galleries to free music and walking tours.Art GalleriesTate Modern and Tate Britain are exceptional national artgalleries housing some of the finest artworks in the world.Tate Modern focuses on contemporary art while Tate Britaindisplays British Art from the sixteenth century to the present day. MuseumsAll of London's major museums are free, but most offer some special exhibitions for a fee. My favorite is the Museum of London where you can learn the history of London from Roman times to today. Other great major museums are the British Museum, the V&A, the Science Museum, and the Natural History Museum. Oh, and I love the Geffrye Museum. And the Horniman Museum. Now I can't decide which is the best!Many of London's major art galleries and museums are open in theevening and often have special evening events. This can be agreat way to relax at the end of a busy day seeing the sights.The main London galleries and museums are air-conditioned so itcan be wonderful way to cool down in the height of summer in thecity. Galleries and museums are not open late every night so hereis a handy list to help you plan your days and evenings.Royal ParksMany people say the Queen Mary's Rose Gardens in Regent's Park is their favorite spot in London, and who am I to argue? I would also recommend St. James's Park as it offers one of the best views of Buckingham Palace. Hyde Park is enormous and includes the ever popular Diana Memorial Fountain and the Peter Pan Statue.There are often free talks and guided walks in the royal parks so do check the What's On section of the Royal Parks website.Changing of the GuardNo visit to London is complete without seeing this military tradition. The Queen's Guard in London changes in the Forecourt inside the gates of Buckingham Palace at 11.30am every day in the summer and every other day inthe winter. Get there early and view the spectacle from outside the front gates.63.

2020年高二英语上学期25分钟限时阅读天天练—第6天阅读理解AResearchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.The findings came from a survey of more than 340,000 adults in the United States. The Gallup(民意调查) Organization questioned them by telephone in 2020. At that time, the people were between the ages of eighteen and eighty-five.The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress.Arthur Stone at Stony Brook University in New York led the study. His team found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five. The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties. Happiness was highest among the youngest adults and those in their early seventies. The people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their seventies and eighties.Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.Professor Stone says the emotional patterns could be linked to changes in how people see the world, or maybe even changes in brain chemistry.The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children, being unemployed or being single. But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and well-being related to age.The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.41. What can be the best title of the text?A. Happiness Varies with AgesB. Experience More, Worry LessC. The Older, the WiserD. Being Young, Being Happy42. We can learn from the research that _________.A. only when people get older will they feel happierB. stress levels among the youngest are the highestC. older people tend to be gratefulD. older people usually have no worries43.

What would the author probably talk about next?A. What influences happiness.B. How to live better.C. How to keep happier.D. Why women are less happier.45. The author is intended to _________.A. advise how to reduce stressB. introduce a scientific findingC. describe how to do researchD. talk about human emotionsBFather Maurice Chase used a special way to celebrate his 90th birthday. The Catholic priest（神父）took $ 15,000 in cash to Los Angeles’ Skid Row (贫民区) and gave it away. Twenty wheelchair –bound people received $100 bills,while the rest received $1to $ 3 each．“I come out here to tell them that God loves them and I love them and that some one is concerned about them,” Chase said．Chase has given away cash and blessings every Sunday at the same corner for 24 years．Several hundred people wait for him every week．He makes a point of coming on Thanksgiving and Christmas, too, but this is the first year he spent his birthday in the downtown neighborhood where people live mainly in shelters and on dirty sidewalks．“ It’s the place that makes me the happiest．I just love it,” said Chase. “I look forward to coming here.”The money comes from donations he receives from rich and famous people he met during his work as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．The crowd broke into choruses of “Happy Birthday” several times. Some people presented him birthday cards, to his delight．Travis Kemp, a 51 – year – old disabled man with long black hair, was one of the lucky 20 to receive $ 100. He said he had no special plans for spending the money. “He has a lot of respect from me,” Kemp said. “I know I couldn’t do it.”46．On his 90 th birthday, Chase ．A．handed out cash to the needy B．collected money for poor people C．visited poor people’s homes with gifts D．held a party at Los Angeles’ Skid Row47．Which of the following makes Chase feel the happiest?A．Celebrating his birthday with his neighbours．B．Working in Loyola Marymount University．C．Celebrating Christmas with the people he has helped．D．Going to Los Angeles’ Skid Row to help people there．48．What’s the source of the money Chase used to help people?A．All his savings． B．His earnings as a Catholic priest．C．Donations from the wealthy and celebrities(名人)．D．Donations from Loyola Marymount University．49．Travis Kemp is mentioned in the text to show ．A．he was the luckiest person on that dayB．the disabled need to be taken care ofC．Chase is greatly appreciated by the needyD．even old people came to celebrate Chase’s birthday50．Which statement is CORRECT according to the passage?A．Every recipient could get $100 in cash from Father Maurice Chase．B．Father Maurice Chase gave the cash away not only on his birthday but also on other occasions．C．Although Father Maurice Chase gave the cash away on his birthday, he didn’t receive anything in return．D．Father Maurice Chase earned a lot of money as assistant to the president of Loyola Marymount University．CThe story begins with fishing.Once a boy and his father went fishing before bass (a kind of special fish) season opened. They were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass(the special fish).The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm –two hours before the bass season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place. And he was right.

In cowboy movies the“bad guys”usually wear black hats while the“good guys”wear lighter colors．Something else about their appearance makes an unfavorable impression． In their practical，protective clothing they look very much like the men on military motorcycles in the movies of World War II—cruel enemies who roared into peaceful villages filling people's hearts with fear．Probably the machine itself also preduces anger andfear． Motorcycles are noisy，though some big trucks are even noisier．But trucks are big and carry heavy loads；they are accepted(ifnot really welcomed)because they perform a needed service，making America move．Motorcycles，on the other hand，make all unpleasant noise just to give their riders pleasure．That is what is commonly thought．In the woods motorcycles，frighten animals．Roaring along quiet streets,they wake sleeping families and make babies cry．Of course the danger of motorcycling，also helps account for many people's low opinion of the sport．Its defenders,however，claim that careful cyclists are in less danger than commonly beheved．A cyclist must drive as if everybody around him wanted to kill him．He must pay careful attention to his driving．From that point of view，a man on a motorcycle is safer than，a man in a car.21．According to the passage，the average Americans believe that_____.A．motorcyclists are all blue-collar workersB．motorcycling has become one ofAmerica’s most popular sports C．only wild，irresponsible，lawless young men enjoy motorcycling D．motorcyclists can't afford to buy cars22．From the passage we know that good characters of old American movies_____.A．usually wore lighter colorsB．had no difference from evil charactersC．looked graciousD．often rode horses23．It Can be inferred that______A．there existed different opinions towards motorcycling sportB．all good guys in cowboy movies weal whiteC．animals in the woods like motorcycles because motorcyclists usually feed crashed insects to themD．motorcycles will make noise as soon as people go to sleep 24．Some people claim that a man on a motorcycle is safer than a man in a car because______.A．car race is a sport with several disadvantagesB．motorcyclists must drive very carefullyC．most people want to keep a distance from the dirty motorcycles for fear that they should lose dignityD．motorcycles tend to be accepted by more and more people 25．The average citizen dislikes the motorcyclists because______ A．all motorcycles are wild young menB．all motorcycles are irresponsible young menC．all motorcycles are lawless young menD．they frequently look dirty，they often make an unpleasant noise，and their appearance contributes to people's terrible imagination BNo more batteries，no more chargers and no more wires．This is the future promised by "wireless power"．a means of broadcasting electricity through the air to laptops，iPods and other gadgets(小器具)without the need for cables and sockets(插座)．Wireless lighting，audio speakers and digital picture frames are expected to be among the first commercial products exhibited in Las Vegas this week at the International Consumer Electronics Show，the world's biggest gadgets tradeshow．Experts believe this is just the beginning and that eventually wireless electricity could do for battery life what WiFi(局域网)did for，the Internet．In a world without wires，laptop users in cafes and airport terminals(终点站)would be inside an "electricity hotspot" and no longer have to delve an awkwardly located socket．"You'd be able to buy．a desk that charged any gadget placed on it,or power any PC you put on top，" said James Holland，editor of gadgets websiteEleetricpig．co．uk．"If each room had wireless power，you'd know that once you walked through the front door your nmbile would start charging up—even while still in your bag or pocket．You'd never need to hunt for the right charger again．"Among the companies showcasing the ambitions technology at CES is PowerBeam．Its system turns electricity into an invisible laser,then beams(传播) it as heat，across the room to a solar cell that conveys it back into dectricity．David Graham，the co-founder of PowerBeam，said："We're going to delete the word 'recharge' from the English dictionary．If your，cell phone is recharging on your desk．all day，you won't be thinking about．it．" The Silicon Valley company can currently use a laser to generate about 1．5 watts of power to_a solar．cell 10 meters away．This,sould be enough to power an electronic speaker or small LED(二极管) lights，but not enough to operate a laptop，which requires about 30 to 50 watts．However，Graham said that the technology could comfortably be scaled up(提高)．PowerBeam insists its laser does not lead to a risk to users' health because it is simply moving heat from one place to another．Graham said that，if someone walked through the beam，itwould shut down within a thousandth of a second，then restart once the path is clear．The technology also promises because it would only power products when needed．26．What does the writer want to tell us in the passage?A．A wireless instrument used for charging．B．The only company to show the ambitious technology．C．A means of broadcasting electricity to gadgets．D．A new efficient energy．27．The undedined word "delve" in Paragraph 3 refers to______ ．A．hunt for B．look into C．think of D．put away 28．According to James Holland，we know that______．A．a cell phone Can be powered only on a deskB．gadgets can be charged in a loom with wireless powerC．a right charger is neededD．each room should have wireless power29．Which of the following statements is TRUE?A．The laser does harm to people's health．B．The gadgets like audio speakers have been shown at the International Consumer Electronics Show this week．C．The word 'recharge' has been deleted from the English dictionary．D．The technology Can also save energy because it would not work when unnecessary．30．The fifth paragraph mainly tells us______．A．how the system worksB．how the electricity be converted into heatC．the function of the ambitious technologyD．the electricity is converted through heat参考答案1—5.

But while the image(形象) of a warm-hearted but somewhat naive migrant worker may have made film fans chuckle（偷着乐）, it’s a sure bet that most of China’s migrant workers are yet to step into a cinema to admire it.“Forty yuan a ticket? I can’t afford it,” said Shen Jie, a migrant worker at a construction site in Dongzhimen, east Beijing.Shen found it hard to remember when he last watched a film, or what it was about. “It must be 10 years ago,” he said.Though they are the builders of the nation’s theaters and cinemas, a limited cultural life is common among China’s 120 million migrant workers. Shen arrived from East China’s Zhejiang Province in1991. Life was better then; money seemed to come more easily. “Now, as more and more workers are rushing to the capital, it’s too hard to earn money, and none of us dare think abou t watching films,” he said.For many like Shen, the dream is earning enough to pay for their children’s education so they can find jobs in the cities and say goodbye to the hardships of rural life forever. This drives them to work hard and save as much as possible.With a monthly salary of less than 500 yuan, Shen has to send money home to his little son and silver-haired parents.In Shen’s small dormitory, which he shares with seven other co-workers, there is a well-thumbed copy of a magazine published in 1998.A recent survey by local media revealed（显示） that 80 percent of migrant workers spent their spare time sleeping and chatting because of exhaust and a lack of income. The same survey found that 47 percent of migrant workers have to work for more than 10 hours a day. Around 40 percent do not even possess a book, and nearly 60 percent say they are dissatisfied with their cultural life.Like many of Shen’s co-workers, reading newspapers and hanging out in Beijing’s streets provide evening entertainment.From China Daily56. We can infer from the passage “A World Without Thieves” is a film that __________.A. talks about experiences of a group of thievesB. deals with the life of migrant workersC. explains how to catch thieves on trainsD. attracts many migrant workers57. As for the migrant worker, Shen Jie, ____________.A. life was harder when he first came to work in BeijingB. he enjoyed a lot of films ten years agoC. his wish was to pay for his son’s educationD. the capital is too hard a place for him to make any money58. According the passage, which of the following is TRUE _________.A. the workers enjoy reading very much, no matter how old the magazines areB. the workers have so little to read that they often read the same magazineagain and againC. the workers enjoy magazines because they are easy to understandD. the workers think highly of the copy of the magazine published in 199859.

What I wanted to do was show that everybody has the capacity to be self-sufficient（自给自足的）, and all we have to do is to activate them. I asked the county to pick a group of people who were on public welfare, people from different racial groups and different family constellations. I would then see them as a group for three hours every Friday.The first thing I said after I shook hands with everybody was, “I would like to know what your dreams are.” Everyone looked at me in surprise “Dreams? We don’t have dreams.”I said, “Well, when you were a kid what happened? Wasn’t there something you wanted to do?”I began to ask other people about their dreams. One woman shared that she always wanted to be a secretary. I said, “Well, what stands in your way?”(That’s always my next question.)She said, “I have six kids, and I don’t have anyone to take care of them while I’m away.”“Let’s find out,” I said.“Is there anybody in this group who would take care of six kids for a day or two a week while this woman gets some training here at the community college?”One woman said, “I got kids, too, but I could do that.”“Let’s do it,” I said. A plan was created and the woman went to school. Everyone found something. The woman who looked after the children became a licensed babysitter. In 12 weeks I had all these people off public welfare. I’ve not only done that once, I’ve done it many time.5．It can be inferred that people on public welfare .

The loss comes as teen unemployment in the state has reached a record-high rate of 27.5 percent.Experts say that the slow recovery and the high unemployment rate have forced older workers to take positions for younger workers.Jim Zeckhauser, the manager of a Chicago social service agency for troubled teens, said he used to be able to place dozens of teens in jobs before the financial crisis. This year, he has been able to place only about seven of the 34 teenagers he guides in summer jobs. “It’s a struggle to find firms,”he said.Brent Weiss, owner of Uncle Dan’s, an outdoor-gear retailer with locations in Chicago, Evanston and Highland Park, said he is more selective about the workers that he hires, acknowledging that he is more likely to hire college students than teens, and like many other small business he is doing more with fewer workers.Chicage-area small business say they are taking a wait-and-see approach to expanding their businesses and hiring more workers. They blame increasing gasoline prices and a lack of consumer confidence.Nationwide, teens ago 16 to 19 have seenthe biggest drop in employment during the past decade. In 2020;2020, the employment rate for that age group was 26 percent, the lowest since Workld war II, according to a report by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University In 2000, employment ratefor the same group was 45 percent.If the trend continues, only one in four teenagers will hold a job this summer, according to the report. Many of the unemployed will likely be black males living in low-income communities.9．According to the passage, why do some Chicago teenagers want to take a job?A．To know more about the society. B．to get some career experience. C．To buy some new clothes. D．To support their education.10．Teen workers face competition from .A．adult workers and foreign students B．older workers and college studentsC．younger workers and college students D．foreign workers and high students11．According to the passage, which of the following is not the cause of the low teen employment rate?A．High gasoline price. B．The financial crisis.C．A lack of teenager confidence. D．The slow economic recovery.12．It can be inferred that workers in Chicago-area small businesses .A．are busier B．are paid higherC．have more free time D．received higher educationDIt was an exciting day when Thomas Finger looked inside the nose of a small black mouse. Finger had borrowed the animal from another scientist. It was not your average mouse. The mouse’s genes had been changed so that the taste buds(味蕾) on its tongue turned green when you shined light on them — like a secret message written in secret ink.But no one had ever looked inside its nose. When Finger finally did look there with a microscope, he saw thousands of green cells. “It was like looking at little green stars at nig ht,” says Finger,Seeing that green starry sky was Finger’s first glimpse of a new world. If he and other scientists are right, we don’t taste things just on our tongues. Other parts of our body can also taste things —our nose, our stomach, even our lungs!You might think of taste as something that you experience when you put chocolate in your mouth — or chicken soup, or salt. But for you to taste chocolate or chicken soup, special cells on your tongue have to tell the brain that they detected chemicals that are in the food. We have at least five kinds of these chemical-detecting cells (commonly called taste cells) on our tongues: cells that detect salt, sweet compounds(混合物), sour things, bitter things and savory(香的) things like meat or broth.It’s these chemical-sensing cells that scientists are now finding all over the body. “I’ll bet you that in terms of total number of cells,” says Finger, “there are more [taste cells] outside the mouth than inside the mouth.”This gives us clues about other functions the sense of taste has in our bodies. It could also help scientists find new treatments for certain diseases. 13．In which way is Finger’s mouse different from a common one?A．Its nose has chemical – detecting cells. B．Its tongue can change color.C．Its tongue has more taste cells. D．Its nose is green. 14．What Finger saw inside the mouse’s nose is .A．a kind of cell detecting salt B．a kind of gene like a starC．a surprising finding D．a secret message15．From the passage, we may conclude that Finger’s finding .A．helps find more functions of the sense of tasteB．helps find more functions of the tongueC．will cause quarrels among scientists D．will prevent some diseases 16．What would be the best title for the passage?A．Green stars in a mouse’s mouth. B．Taste cells.C．New chemical – sensing cells. D．Full – body taste.New words________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________Newphrases_________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ___________________New sentences________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________1-4 BCCA 5-8 DBBA 9-12 DBCA 13-16 BCAD。

If the break is small, however, the person may not feel much pain at all. If you think that you or someone else has broken a bone, the most important things to do are to stay calm, make the hurt person comfortable, and call the doctor. Do not move the injured body part since movement could make it worse. To treat the break, the doctor will need to take an X-ray. This gives the doctor the information he or she needs to set (接上) the bone: to put it back to its normal place. If the bone is large or it is broken in more than one place, the doctor may need to use metal pins (钢钉) to set it.

At the airport he had to accept the 40 customs check. The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be taken down for 41 .

Before he understood why, he was taken to the office to be examined 48 . For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment.

Then the telephonerings，you say hello, and the drama starts．The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to．You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness．It may not change what you think，but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time．Life brings ups and downs，but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer．They only feel glad when they make others feel bad．No won der they can hardly win others’ pity or respect．When you communicate with positive people，your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted．When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you，you feel the heavy feeling that all in all，brings you down．Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people．This could be a co-worker，or a relative．In this case，say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person，but all this is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that．Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized．The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day，which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness．Life is too short to feel negative．Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible．(350 words)The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A. make a comparisonB. introduce a topicC. offer an evidenceD. describe a daily sceneSome negative people base their happiness on _______.A. other people’s pity for themB. other people’s respect for themC. building up a positive attitudeD. making other people unhappy According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us，we are advised to ____.A. show our dissatisfaction to negative peopleB. communicate with negative people as little as possibleC. make negative people feel ashamed of themselvesD. cha nge negative people’s attitudes to life59. What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A. Favorable．B. Indifferent.C. Critical.D. Supportive.BIn the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily. They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or evenshouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.No more angry shouts and no more horns!When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here, I am weak and doing the best I can.”And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.Sometimes weakness calls for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But those are few and far between. More often, it would be better if we don’t pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.

Computer and job openings (职位空缺)BIt is not unusual at all for teens to answer their parents with one-word answers.“Where are you going? ”“Places.”“When will you be back?”“Sometime. ”“Who will you be with? ”“People. ”That means that the days of your children bounding(跳跃着跑) in the front door with the details of their day are over. They are breaking away from youso that they will be able to stand on their own as a young adult.Some parents feel sad about his loss of their children’s closeness. Of course you miss those conversations and friendly talks. Once your children move out after high school and establish themselves confidently as a young adult, they will come back for easy conversations and even ask for advice. But in order to determine who they are right now, they need to separate from you. Your job, however, is to keep them safe---and that requires knowing where they are and who they are with. Let them know clearly that it’s not because you want to dominate(支配) their life and control them; it’s because it’s a safety issue for family members to keep track of one another.When they are home and sit down to eat a meal, sit down with them. You need to open up to them about your life. Tell them of an interesting incident at the office, let them in on a family gossip(闲谈), discuss a piece of news with them.

To comfort parents.CI had an experience once which taught me something about the ways people madea bad situation worse by blaming themselves. One January, I officiated(主持) at two funerals for two elderly women. Both died a natural death. At the first home, the son of the deceased(已故) woman said, “If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. It’s my fault that she died.” At the second home, the son said, “If only I had not insisted her going to Florida, she would be alive today. That long airplane ride was more than she could take. It is my fault.”When things don’t turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. Any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. Because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better. After all, how could it have turned out any worse?There seem to be elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. The first lies in our belief that the world makes sense---there is a reason for everything that happens.The second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen. The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks. He cries, and someone comes to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.9. What is true about the two deceased elderly women?A. They both died of old age.B. They died from hard work.C. They were’t accustomed to the change in life.D. They died due to lack of care by family members.10. People feel guilty for the death of their loved ones because______.A. they cannot find a better way to express their sorrowB. they believe that they are responsible for what has happenedC. they don’t know that na tural course of eventsD. they don’t know things often turn out in the opposite direction11. The underline part “the world makes sense” in Paragraph 3 probably means that____.A. everything in the world is planned in advanceB. the world can be understood in different waysC. there’s an explanation for everything in the worldD. we have to be wise in order to understand the world12. People have believed since early childhood that______.A. everybody is at their commandB. life and death is an unsolved mysteryC. every story should have a happy endingD. their wishes are the cause of everything that happensNew wordsNew phrases________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ New sentences________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ ____________________________________________________________1—12 CADB DACA ABCD。
