一、英语阅读理解专项练习试卷

1 .阅读理解

When faced with difficult situations in their lives, many people find them too challenging and give up,

especially on their life dreams. But not for Gabriel Heredia.

Gabrrel is a 21-year-old Argentinean barber (阿根廷理发师) who was born without hands.

But he was able to grow up happy and independent because he always had the support of friends and family. In

fact, his inspiration for such work was his mother, who is a hairdresser. At the age of 14, he began to take

interest in her work and learned all kinds of hair cutting skills from her. Although he first saw it as an

interest, Gabriel quickly decided that this was his dream job.

Gabriel's family soon helped him open his first barbershop in San Isidro, Peru, which he worked at for one and

a half years. There, he met Zlatan Gomez, the president of Argentina Corta, an organization for barbers to connect,

do charity ( 慈善)work, and teach hairdressing. Later, Gabriel became part of Argentina Corta, offering his

services to people of all ages so they can build up the skills they need to get a job.

Gabriel then moved to Buenos Aires, Argentina where he cuts hair today. As a bright and caring young man,

Gabriel tries hard to not only be a barber, but also make a connection with the neighborhood. He says, "The thing

that I like the most about my job is that people feel comfortable and stylish with my cuts and that makes me feel

happy."

Gabriel always does his best to be independent. He never gives up. There is nothing he can't do. Besides

cutting hair, he has learned to ride a bike, a motorbike and even to drive a car. He is no doubt inspiring others.

Happiness is important for everyone. Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Here

is a story to help you.

Once a bird lived unhappily. So it traveled far away to look for its happiness. It flew and flew.

Suddenly it saw a spider climbing up a wall. The spider fell off the wall halfway. But it kept climbing again

and fell off again. Even so, the spider didn't give up. The little bird asked the spider in surprise. "Why

don't you have pain but happiness on your face though you fail again and again?"

"Because I keep making my efforts. I'm happy." said the spider.

Then the little bird saw it happiness is a will in the heart.

The bird continued flying and saw a lame duck help a little duck who got lost to find the wayback home. Although it was disabled, it had a smiling face.

"I'm happy because I can help others." said the lame duck. So the bird saw it happiness is a love in the heart.

The bird went on flying and suddenly saw a little dying flower, whose face was full of smile. The bird didn't know the reason. So it

asked the little flower, "You're going to die. Why are you still so happy?" "Because my dream will come true," said the little flower."

What is your dream?" "To produce sweet fruit." The little bird saw it: happiness is a hope in the heart.
