伏龙初中 2019 中考英语阅读理解编习题【能力选练】 A （2019 中考选练）Are you a good receiver? It might sound like a funny question but it is an important one that each of us should ask ourselves.Strangely, most of us are better givers than receivers. We give to our family, our friends and even charities, and opposite to what we might think, most of us are actually very good at giving. But receiving is another matter. We often feel a little uneasy when receiving, although it is not very noticeable. Even praise gets deflected（转向）when it comes our way. When someone praises us for helping him move or clean up the house, we will possibly say, “Ah, it was nothing.” When someone praises the coat we are wearing, we may mention how we bought it at a discount instead of simply enjoying the praise. Actually, the praise is a gift to us, and when we don’t receive it properly, we are dishonoring the giver.Giving is easy, as there is much pleasure in giving, but receiving is an art that takes practice. To be a good receiver requires a sense of close relationship with the giver. It is always a pleasure for a giver to see the gift received in a pleasant way. And this is also the best way for a receiver to honor the giver and give him something back.Many relationships are not so good not because people are not giving to each other, but because they are not receiving from each other well. We should receive the love, respect the praise, and give thanks every time giving happens. We should practice receiving all the pleasures that happen to us every day, instead of taking them for granted. Think of how many simple everyday gifts we are being given all the time: the beauty of nature, art and inspiring（激励人的） conversations. But are we truly receiving them when they happen to us, or are we busy with other matters, not noticing? We should master the art of receiving: accept the gifts life offers us and show our appreciation for them.We are taught that it is better to give than to receive. But this suggests that there is something wrong with receiving. There is nothing wrong with receiving. It is better to give and receive. Let life shower us with gifts, pleasures, joys, surprises, both large and small, and let us take notice of all these things and accept them happily and thankfully. The more we can receive, the more we can give back, but giving more does not necessarily mean receiving more. We must remember it is harder to receive than to give, and try to practice receiving. This practice will benefit us greatly, making us become good receivers as well as good givers. 1. According to Paragraph 2, what do we possibly do when we are praised?A. Honor the giver publicly. B. Show our pleasure clearly.C. Receive the praise uncomfortably. D. Express our disagreement properly. 2. The expression “taking them for granted” probably means “_______”. A. looking for them with expectation B. depending on them with satisfaction C. getting away from them without regret D. benefiting from them without appreciation 3. What can we learn from the passage? A. People usually can receive more by giving more. B. People usually try to receive as much as possible. C. People should give a gift back when receiving one. D. People can improve relationships by receiving well. 4. What is the best title for the passage? A. Be a Good Receiver and Giver B. Better to Give Than to Receive C. Better to Give, Better to Receive D. Be a Receiver Rather Than a Giver 参考答案 1. C 2. D 3. D 4. A 【能力选练】 B 【****安徽】 Charles Chaplin was born in London on April 16. 1889.
