2019 年人教高考英语一轮练习题：选修7U4 含答案

一、阅读理解。

My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest

Iowa.My grandfather once told

me that she knew no stranger and considered everyone in

that community her friend.That

attitude

continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.

As a young girl,I felt embarrassed and cringed( 畏缩 ) every

time my mother addressed

strangers in the grocery store or on the city bus.She talked

to everyone and offered a smile.

What really sold me on Mom ’s approach to life was her

experience on the senior bus, a story

I ’ve repeated to others many times.The weeks I could not

be there, she used this low - cost

transportation to the grocery store.After her first trip,I asked

her how it went.

“Ha！” she said,“Igot on that bus and what did I see ？

Thirteen little old ladies and one old

man, and not one word was spoken. ”

I wondered how long it would be until the somberness( 忧郁的氛围 ) on that bus would

change.On my next visit, Mom mentioned the ladies on the

bus and something one of them had

told her.

“Oh, are you talking with them now ？” I asked.

“Of course, ” she said.“ One day I climbed up the steps of the bus and before I looked for a

seat, I gave them a big smile and I said, ‘Isn’tit a wonderful

day ？’ I noticed a few shy smiles.”

Mom didn ’tgive up.She greeted them all each time she got

on the bus and before long, the

whole group was laughing and talking to one another.The

bus became more than just

transportation.

She’s been gone for ten years but I’ve carried on her

recipe for life.I smile at people as I walk

by and often begin a conversation in the checkout line.Silent,

solemn( 严肃的 ) people respond

with smiles of their own and a bit of chatter.All it takes is for

one person to initiate(发起) the

smile or greeting.It was I who had done the smiling first and

all those people had responded.My

mother didn’ t lecture but taught me by example.She’

d given me a recipe for life.
