When Debbie Macomber decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer，she rented a typewriter，put it on the kitchen table，and began typing each morning before the kids went to school.When the kids came home，she moved the typewriter and made them dinner.When they went to bed，she moved it back and typed some more.For two years，Debbie followed this routine.Supermom had become a struggling writer and she was loving every minute of it.One night，however，her husband，said to her，“Honey，I'm sorry，but you're not bringing in any income.We can't do this anymore.We can't survive on just what I make.”That night，her heart broken and her mind too busy to let her sleep.She stared at the ceiling in their darkened bedroom.Debbie knew—with all of the responsibilities of keeping up a house and looking after four kids—that working 40 hours a week would leave her no time to write.Seeing her despair，her husband woke up and asked，“What's wrong？”“I really think I could have made it as a writer，I really do.”Wayne was silent for a long time，and then said，“All right，honey，go for it.”So Debbie returned to her dream and her typewriter on the kitchen table，pounding out page after page for another two years.Her family went without vacations，pinched pennies，and wore hand－me－downs.But the sacrifice and the persistence finally paid off.After five years of struggling，Debbie sold her first book.Then another.And another.Until finally，today，Debbie has published more than 100 books，three of which have been sold for movies.Over 60 million copies are in print，and she has millions of loyal fans.And Wayne？All that sacrifice in support of his wife paid off handsomely.He got to retire at age 50 and now spends his time building an airplane in the basement of their 7,000square－foot mansion.Debbie's kids got a gift far more important than a few summer camps.As adults，they realize what Debbie gave them was far more important—permission and encouragement to pursue their own dreams.【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了DebbieMacomber坚持不懈地追逐自己的梦想，最后取得成功的故事。

He sold millions of records and made many successful films, and he helped change the direction of popular music in the 1960s.Elvis Presley was born in a poor family in 1935. His parents were simple country people who often took him to church ,where he learned to sing, and he never forgot the kind of songs that he used to sing in church as a child.When he was young, Elvis moved from Toledo to Memphis in Tennessee, where he attended high school, but he was not a good student. His only real interest was singing. He began to sing in the style that is called “country and western”.In 1955 he recorded some songs for his mother’s birthday. The people at the recording studio liked his singing and his music. It was country and western music, but it also sounded a little like the music which black people used to sing in the American South. It was called “blues”.Shortly after that, Elvis met Tom Parker, who became his manger and arranged concerts for him across the United States and new recording as well. Soon Elvis became famous around the country. Later Elvis went to Hollywood and began to appear in films such as Love Me Tender and King Creole.But Elvis found it difficult to live with success, Like many other famous people, he began to take drugs and his health started to suffer.

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, surf the Internet, we'll be surrounded by the word "diet" everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically（心理上地）and physically.It's obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word "diet" in food labels.What's more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don't have to work to get results．Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calorie. oaly because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products, And they can indirectly harm our bodies because consuming them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicalsthat go into diet products are potentially dangerous.Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, 3rd therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.1. From Paragraph 1，we learn thatA. diet products are in our daily lifeB. people have trouble choosfng diet productsC. people should put up with diet productsD. diet products are misleading people2. The psychological effect of diet products is that people tend toA. hesitate before they enjoy diet foods B, pay attention to their daily dietC. watch their weight rather than their dietD. try out varieties of diet foods3. The underlined part in Paragraph 3 probably meansA. diet products cause no pain B, it costs a lot to.lose weightC. losing weight is effortlessD. diet products are free of fat and calories4．Diet products indirectly harm people physically because such productsA. are over-consumedB. are short of basic nutrientsC. lack chemicalsD. provide too much energy参考答案1—4、 DCCB2016高考训练题。

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。

Many cities have subways and underground public transportation to take locals and tourists alike rapidly around the city．However, there’s something different about riding a London subway．It may not look different, but the historical value of one of England’s most popular forms of transportation is enough to make riding the subway a must whenvisiting London．With a little under 100 different stations, the subway can take you almost anywhere you need to go．Riding a London subway, a person from other countries will notice one major difference: in London, people do not look at each other．In fact, eye contact is avoided at all times．That’s not rudeness ― people are just too busy to bother looking．Busy doing what, you ask? Well, they’re certainly not using the time for a moment of quiet thinking．Nor are they reading a book．New technology has replaced quiethabits．Today the only acceptable form of book on the London underground is an e-book．Apple must earn a fortune from London commuters（使用月票上下班者）．Since the launch of the iPhone in 2007, over 40,000―yes, that’s 40,000 “apps” have been designed．Commuters love them because they are the perfect time-fillers．One “app”, called iShoot, is a game that features tanks．Another one, Tube Exits, tells passengers where to sit on the train to be closest to the exit of their destination．iSteam clouds the iPhonescreen when you breathe into the microphone．You can then write in the “steam” on your phone screen．For those without an iPhone, another Apple product, the iPod, may be thedistraction（消遣）of choice．It’s not just teenagers who “plug in” to their music－iPods are a popular way to pass the time for all ages．And if games, e-books and music aren’t enough to keep you occupied, then perhaps you would prefer a film? The development of palm DVD technology means manycommuters watch their favorite TV shows or films on the way to work．With all these distractions, it’s amazing that people still remember to get off the train．1．Those who want to save time to reach where they go can download ______ to their iPhones．A．iShoot B．Tube Exits C．iSteam D．iPod 2．People in London do not make eye contact on the subway because ______．A．they are going to work and have no time to communicate with each other B．they love reading books and do not want to be disturbedC．they feel sleepy because of getting up earlyD．they are busy playing games, reading e-books, listening to music or watching films 3．The underlined word “apps” in the fourth paragraph means ______．A．computers B．programs downloaded for the iPhoneC．computer companies D．fortune from London commuters4.．The main idea of the passage is that ______．A．London commuters are unfriendly to strangersB．Apple has earned a lot of money from selling 40,000 appsC．technology is changing how London commuters spend their traveling time D．riding a London subway is a must when visiting London1.B细节理解题。

Last July, my 12-year-old car died on California’s Santa Ana Freeway. It was an hour before sunset, and I was 25 miles from home. I couldn’t reach anyone to pick me up, so I decided to take a bus. Not knowing the routes, I figured I’d just head east.A bus pulled up, and I asked the driver how far she was going. “Four more lights,” she said. There was another bus I could take from there. This clearly was going to be a long night.She dropped me off at the end of her route and told me which bus to look for. After waiting 30 minutes, I began to think about a very expensive taxi ride home. Then a bus pulled up. There was no lighted number above its windshield(挡风玻璃). It was out of service.

I’ll give you a ride home.” “You’ll drive me home in the bus?”I asked, perplexed(困惑).“No, I’ll take you in my car,” she said.“It’s a long way,” I protested.“Come on, ” she said. “I have nothing else to do.”As we drove from the station in her car, she began telling me a story. A few days earlier, her brother had run out of gas. A good Samaritan picked him up, took him to a service station and then back to his car. “I’m just passing the favor along, ” she said.When I offered her money as a thank-you, she wouldn’t hear of it. “That wouldn’t make it a favor, ” she said. “Just do something nice for somebody.

You've flown halfway around the world；you've sniffed out this place that nobody in Falongland or Thailand seems to have ever heard of；so what on earth is there to do here？You consider this question as you sink into an old wooden beach chair that holds you above the sand.It was a long journey from Bangkok to Huaplee.By the time you found the bus station and got yourself sorted out，it took almost as long as the flight from Falongland.Huaplee is located just south of Hua Hin，about two hundred kilometres from Bangkok，down the west side of the Gulf of Thailand.Not many tourists find this place，and the ones that do wonder if finding it has been their purpose all along.There's an apparent laziness that surrounds you here.It's what this place offers，and it's free of charge.The small waves that tap the shoreline seem to slow everything down.You settle into your beach chair in preparation for a long rest.You sit there and watch the sea.It's early afternoon，so the cook comes out and asks what you'd like to eat this evening.Before long he's rushed off to the market to buy the ingredients for whatever it was that you ordered－every meal fresh and to order.No menu here.There is no poolside noise here but just that wonderfully warm，clear blue sea.There's no street noise.The only sounds are the murmurs of nature.For now you just count your blessings (福祉)，listing them in the sand with your toe (脚趾)．You don't have to worry about being late for work.You don't have to do anything.The beach to your right stretches off to the horizon (地平线)，slowly narrowing to nothingness only to re-emerge again on your left，now steadily widening until it covers the chair beneath you.Sand to your left and sand to your right；it's unbroken，endless.No start，no end，just sand，sun，and peace.Step off it，and you re-enter the world of traffic，stress，work，and hurry.Normally you're the type who can't sit still for more than ten minutes，but you're on Huaplee Lazy Beach now and，in the right frame of mind，it stretches all the way around the world.“How could it take me so long to find it？”you wonder.【语篇导读】文章描述了Huaplee Beach的大体位置、饮食和在这里度过的美好时光。
