河北省定州市2017届高三英语下学期周练试题（4.9）一、阅读理解About ten men in every hundred suffer from color blindness in some way. Women are luckier, only about one in two hundred is affected in this matter. Perhaps，after all, it is safer to be driven by a woman。

There are different forms of color blindness. In some cases a man may not be able to see deep red. He may think that red，orange and yellow are all shades of green。

Sometimes a person can’t tell the differences between blue and green。

In rare cases an unlucky man sees everything in shades of green—a strange world in deed.Color blindness in human beings is strange thing to explain。

In a single eye there are millions very small things called “cones"。

These help us see in a bright day and tell the differences between colors. There are also millions of “rods"，but these are used for seeing when it is nearly dark. They show us shapes but not color。

河北定州2016-2017学年第二学期高一开学考试英语试卷一、阅读理解Have you ever received a gift that was so dearly, not your taste that you wondered if perhaps it had been handed to you by mistake? Worse, have you ever given a present and watched your friend look as though she had opened the wrong box? Maybe she responded with a polite "Why, thank you," but you knew you had missed the mark. Why do presents sometimes go wrong? And what do your choices (good and bad) reflect about your personal qualities?Choosing the right gift is an art, I believe. It calls for empathy -- the ability to put yourself into someone else's head and heart. We're all able to do this; in fact, we're born with a kind of natural empathy. After the earliest period of childhood, however, it needs to be r einforced (加强)--by our parents, teachers, friends. When it isn't, we're not able to understand other people's feelings as sharply. This can show in the gifts we select, and so can many other emotional (情感的) qualities.Think back to the presents you’ve given over the past year, the time and effort you put into your selection, how much you spent, your thoughts while you were shopping, and your feelings when the receiver opened the package. Keep in mind that what you choose displays your inner world. (Of course, you may express yourself differently with different friends, relati ves, and other people you know.We live in a society where exchanging presents is an important part of communication. Ignoring the tradition won't make it go away. If you really dislike such a tradition, tell your friends ahead of time.1． The underlined expression "you had missed the mark" means "you had failed to _____.A. make her feel betterB. keep your friendshipC. get the expected effectD. receive a present in return2． Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph?A. Natural empathy needs to be reinforced.B. Emotional changes influence one's choice of gifts.C. Selecting the right gift is an ability people are born with.D. Choosing gifts requires one to understand the receivers.3． In the third paragraph, the author tells us that________.A. the choice of gifts reflects one's emotional qualitiesB. one learns from what he did in the pastC. attention should be paid to the receivers' responsesD. one should spend mor e time choosing gifts4．The best possible title for this passage is “_______”.A. Ways of Choosing GiftsB. An Important TraditionC. Exchanging PresentsD. Message in a GiftKids may need to apologize if they do something they know was wrong－like telling a lie or breaking a rule on purpose. When they do something their parents tell them not to do，or they don't do something they are supposed to do，they apologize，too.Grown-ups can apologize，too，to other grown-ups or even to kids. After all，even grown-ups make mistakes sometimes. By apologizing when they're wrong，grown-ups can set a good example and show kids how to do the right thing and apologize when they need to.Saying I'm sorry when you need to is the right thing to do. It does a lot of good. But by itself，it might not be enough to make everything all better again. Sometimes along with an apology，a person needs to fix the mistake or promise to do better. Sometimes doing a nice thing for the person after you apologize helps show that you really are sorry and want to be friendly again.Sometimes a heartfelt " I'm" sorry fixes everything right away. Other times，it might take a while for someone to feel friendly after you apologize. You might need to give the other person some time. Even after you say you're sorry，you might still feel bad about what you said or did－but you can feel good about apologizing and about making up your mind to do better.When someone apologizes to you，you might not feel like being friendly againright away. Once in a while，if a person doesn't change，you might not want to be friends anymore. You might feel glad that the other person apologized and admitted being wrong.But if someone keeps behaving in mean ways or does something that keeps hurting，you might not feel the same way anymore. Just because someone apologizes to you doesn't mean you have to be friendly again. That part is up to you.5．The writer suggests that grown-ups should set a good example of ________. A．working hardB．making an apologyC．doing good deedsD．making mistakes6．The underlined pronoun "it" (in Para graph 3) probably refers to ________. A．promising to do betterB．a lot of goodC．fixing mistakesD．saying I'm sorry7．What would you like your friend to say to you if he/she hurts you?A．I am really wrong.B．Excuse me.C．I beg your pardon？D．What's wrong with you？8．The passage mainly deals with a topic about ________.A．politicsB．historyC．communicationD．scienceMy friend’s grandfather came to America from a farm in T hailand. After arriving in New York, he went into a cafeteria(自助餐厅) in Manhattan to get something to eat. He sat down at an empty table and waited for someone to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a big plate full of food came up to him. She sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria worked.“Start out at that end,” she said, “Just go along the line and choose what you want.At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.”“I soon learned that’s how everything wo rks in America,” the grandfather told my friend later, “Life’s a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want as long as you want to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to bring it to you.

Over eight years and with more than a dozen albums (专辑)，four young men from Liverpool, England — John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Star changed popular music and culture forever.People in the UK became crazy about the Beatles in late 1963. The phenomenon (现象) was called “Beatlemania” by the British press. The term referred to the young women seen screaming at the band’s concerts. Beatlemania came to North America in early 1964, and the band’s popularity spread across much of the world.Within five years, the Beatles’music changed greatly from their simple early hits like “She Loves You” and “I want to Hold Your Hand”.The band wrote their own songs, explored new ways to create music and strived (奋斗)for high quality in every album they put out.However, with their popularity came criticism (批评). The press criticized the band as symbols of 1960s youth culture, which celebrated freedom from traditional family roles.In 1970, Paul McCartney announced he was leaving the Beatles. And the group quietly came to an end.In the 70s, fans hoped for a reunion, but the group decided to follow their own careers with different degrees of success.Fans lost hope with a tragedy; John Lennon was murdered in New York in 1980. 4．How long did the Beatles exist?A. Five years.B. Six years.C. Eight years.D.

So it seems like we shouldnaturally lose weight over the summer—not gain it. 8．Lots of summer activities canwork against our efforts to stay at a healthy weight. The good news is that it’s ea sy to avoid problems if we know what to look out for.Get going with goals.When we don’t have a plan, it’s easy to spend summer moving from couch to computer, with regular stops at the fridge.9．Just be sure to plan for some downtime so you can relax a little!10．With school out, we lose our daily routines. If you don’t have a specific job or activity to get up for, it’s easy to sleep late, watch too much TV, and snack more than usual. Make sure your summer days have some structure — like getting up at the same time each day and eating meals at set times. Plan activities for specific times, like exercising before breakfast, for example. If you have time on your hands, offer to make dinner a couple of nights a week so your family can enjoy a sit-down meal together. Think about what and how you eat. Summer means picnics and barbecues — activities that revolve around an unlimited spread of food. Pace yourself. Don’t overload your plate. Avoid going back for seconds and thirds. Choose seasonal, healthy foods like fresh fruit instead of high-sugar, high-fat desserts. 11．Stay busy. 12．In addition to helping you avoid the cookie jar, filling your days with stuff to do can give you a sense of accomplishment. That’s especially true if a dreamsummer job or planned activity fell through. Limit your screen time — including TV, computer, and video games — to no more than 2 hours a day.A. Stick to a schedule.B. Plan more activities.C. Appropriate summer eating sets you up on the right track!D. Most of us, how ever, don’t take summer weight gain seriously.E. In reality, though, summer isn’t all about beach volleyball and water sports.F. When we’re bored, it’s easy to fall into a trap of doing nothing and then feeling low on energy.G. Avoid this by setting a specific aim, like volunteering, mastering a new skill, or working at a job.二、完形填空It's not unusual to be caught in your life.When you get caught in a moment,you should remember that somewhere out there,someone always comes along with a pocket full of_______.Yesterday I spent all my coins and dollar _______on little deeds I had _______ breakfast because I got up late.Because of the mad rush,I forgot my _______.When 1 was on my way to _______ my lunch,a person in need asked me if I could _______ him some cash,so I decided to lend him first.So,then later in the evening,I was heading home _______waiting for dinner._______, I got a call from my mum saying that she was to work _______and wouldn't be able to prepare dinner for me.________there was no food in the house.I told my mum not to worry ________ I would surely find myself something to cat.While I was still________ this sudden set of changes in my food options for the day.I passed a young man with a broad smile ________samples(样品) of cookies at a supermarket, h e gave me a packet and said."How about you ________some more for school tomorrow ________ that.I returned a warm ________ to him and opened up my bag.He gladly filled it with 20 packets.I was ________.Whether you call it luck or fortune, I ________wanted to say that somewhere out there somebody came along carrying a pocket of hope in his ________ and shared a piece of it with me!

百强校河北定州中学2016-2017学年第二学期高一英语周练试题（4.9）一、阅读理解Today marks the one-year anniversary of my father’s death. Looking back at the past year, I cannot describe how hard it has been for me mentally and physically.For a long time I suffered in silence. I felt as if I was running in circles(圆圈). I kept my tears to my sleep and my loneliness in my bedroom.After my father’s death, I began channeling all that pain into dance. But as a fairly new dancer, I haven’t had too much stage experience. I recently performed at my school’s winter concert for one of my classmates who is dealing with a rare illness. I dedicated(献上)the dance to her and my father. I only had one week. I was so anxious that I felt like I was having a heart attack.Luckily, my best friends came to my aid. What they said to me was one of the kindest things anyone has ever said. I will never forget what one of them said: “You are so beautiful because of your heart and beautiful mind. You have more kindness than some will ever have.I saw how much that dance meant to you, especially how it connected with your memories. It made me cry, that is how incredible you are.”Just surround（环绕）yourself with people like my friend who will never think little of you. I am so proud of how much I’ve achieved and I know I will keep going, just as my father would have wished.1．What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?A. She had no gift for dancingB. She found it painful to dance on stageC. She suffered from a heart disease.D. She lacked experience and got nervous on stage.2．We can infer from the article that the author_______A. performed at her school’s concertB. recovered quickly from the loss of her fatherC. is very grateful to her friendsD. is still too sad to keep moving on3．The author wrote the article mainly to _____.A. remind us of the importance of friends in out livesB. encourage us to deal with pain positivelyC. tell us how she became a successful dancerD. show respect to her dear fatherMy name is Kenn Nesbitt and I’m a poet. I started wr iting poems as a hobby in 1994. At the time, I never gave any thought to publishing them; I just wrote for my own amusement. But it was so much fun that I ended up writing a lot of poems, which led me to the idea of creating a website, and at last writing books. If you want to write poems, I have some advice for you.My ideas mostly come from my imagination. That is, I like to sit and daydream, and see what kinds of crazy things I can think up. For kids, I suggest that whenever you think of an idea, you s hould write it down, even if you don’t have time write them to create a wholeSo I can always look through my notebooks and find something fun to write about.One way to make poems interesting is to write about things readers can understand: school, family, food, pets, games, sports, and so on. To make a poem funny, I often ask myself, “What kinds of funny things might happen at school, or over dinner? What funny t hings might your pets do?” and it’s OK to make things up, such as having a pet elephant, or a pet that plays video games. Use your imagination and see where it leads. But the best advice I can give kids is not to just write one poem, it might be a great one, or maybe not so good. But if you write ten poems, you’ll probably find that, even though they aren’t all perfect, a few of them are much better than the others.4．Why did the author start writing poems at first?A. To publish them.B. To entertain himself.C. To contribute to a website.D. To kill time.5．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A. How to write poems.B. How to think up crazy things.C. How to get ideas for poems.D. How to become creative.6．According to the author, what is the best advice he can give us?A. Just write great poems.B. Write as many as possible.C. Make poems as funny as possible.D. Try to make things up in your poems. 7．Where does the author come from?A. AmericaB. ChinaC. GermanyD. not mentioned8．What’s the author’s purpose of writing the text?A. To suggest some poems written by him.B. To show writing poems isn’t that hard.C. To tell readers how to write poems.D. To explain how he writes poems.Senior citizens are permitted to travel cheaply on a bus if they have a special card.

河北省定州市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期周练试题（承智班，4.9）一、阅读理解There is an agreement that we are depriving(剥夺) this current generation of young kids a chance to do what they are not only equipped to do, but need to do – take some risks. And we’re not talking about unimport ant ones, either. Kids need to learn how to handle “dangerous” things like power tools, make fires, and derive the benefits that occur from “playing with knives.”Hanna Rosin focuses on some of the misguided reasons we are raising “The Overprotected Kid” in the Atlantic. She details our concerns with kids’ safety that goes beyond the actual risks.In principle, I agree with this emerging perspective. For many kids growing up today, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to practice risk taking. Risk taking is an important skill – every kid needs to learn how to stretch themselves, how to do something that they are a little scared of doing because they haven’t done it before. Part of the reason for “overprotection” is certainly the parental gravitation(倾向) to fear. This is certainly evident in terms of the physical environment.I claim, however, that much of the parental mindset that prevents risk taking isn’t driven by fear of injury —it’s more about concern with success. While many kids aren’t wandering around playgrounds and playing in junkyards, they are doing structured physical activities that carry plenty of risk of injury.“Play” may be in fact less dangerous than our structured sports – yet we focus more on the risk because we don’t see the benefit. It’s just harder to see the immediate deliverables of that experience as compared to watching a kid hit a home run. And this broader concern with success is not limited to the playground or sports field. “Overprotection” certainly happens in the social and academic fields as well, as phrases like “helicopter parent” have become mainstream. There is plenty of social and academic risk taking that can also be prevented because of the perception of risk.1．What does the author think today’s children accordi ng to paragraph 1?A. They aren’t as happy as their parents.B. They ignore the benefits from taking risks.C. They live an overprotected life due to parental care.D. They should take important risks for their development.2． Which of the following would Hanna Rosin agree with?A. Not all kids can play on the playground alone.B. The review of the statistics details the danger of the kidnap.C. Parents should take care of the kids in case they are lost.D. Parents’ concerns with kids’ safety isn’t actual ly necessary.3．What does the underlined part “helicopter parents” in the last paragraph mean?A. Those who offer any help whenever their children are in need.B. Those who find out the important elements of a healthy development.C. Those who give advice on how to find their own sense of creativity.D. Those who help their children take responsibility for their own actions.4． Why do many parents prevent their kids taking risks?A. They are afraid their kids may get hurt.B. They prefer organized activities to unorganized ones.C. The kids are too young to handle these risks properly.D. The link with potential for achievement isn’t clear.The Alice Ferguson Foundation is a non-profit group that works to improve the environment by building relationships between people and nature. The foundation is based in the state of Maryland. It was created more than 50 years ago. It teaches people ways to protect the environment.At the end of the year, it designs events to help children celebrate Christmas without increasing the amount of waste they create. Hanna Seligmann works for the foundation. “So let’s figure out what is in our bag of trash.” She shows adults and children how to reduce waste during the holiday gift-giving season. “You can sort it as a cardboar d item or you can sort it as a plastic item.” “We encourage using things that are already in your house like newspaper, old magazines, using a gift within a gift.” Urging people to recycle isimportant in the Washington, D.C., area, because Potomac River, one of the most famous rivers in the country lies there.“Over time we realized that really just doing trash cleanups was the symptom of the problem, not getting to the root cause. And so it was just a little over a decade ago that we started the initiative (倡议)itself.” says Seligman.The Trash Free Potomac Watershed Initiative is an effort by the Alice Ferguson Foundation to support clean agricultural methods. It includes educational programs teaching children about the kinds of pollution that can enter the watershed.One activity is called the Trash Timeline Game. It teaches children that the things they throw away do not decompose, at the same rate. For example, paper dissolves in about four weeks. An apple core may take two months to rot. A metal can take up to 100 years. 5．The Alice Ferguson Foundation ________.A. devotes itself to keeping citizens engaged in going greenB. deals with relationship between peopleC. teaches people how to form groupsD. concerns itself about children’s holidays6．At the end of the year, the Alice Ferguson Foundation is busy _________.A. buying plastic itemsB. celebrating ChristmasC. figuring out how much waste was producedD. educating people to reduce less waste while enjoying Christmas7．How to get to the root cause of environmental protection, according to Seligman? A. Environmental education B. Doing trash cleanupsC. Saving waterD. Celebrating holidays less8．What does the underlined word in the last paragraph mean?A. Give offB. Break downC. Come outD. Pack upIt’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Going for a run seems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth giving that。

百强校河北定州中学2016-2017学年第二学期高四英语周练试题（4.9）一、阅读理解As has been all too apparent in recent days at Balcombe，few issues cause greater concern than energy policy. Many village communities feel their countryside is being ruined by the power-producing machines of wind farms; yet they never take "direct action”，even though the planning laws put them at a severe disadvantage. And the generous subsidies (财政补贴）, which encourage the expansion of wind power, are not favorable to the village communities and set landowners in conflict with other residents (居民) .Those who disagree with the rapid expansion of wind farms state that the damage they cause is out of proportion(比例) to the benefits they bring，because their energy output cannot match that of the carbon-based power stations they are supposed to replace。

Supporters insist that wind must be part of a mix of renewables，nuclear and carbon，and that the country is committed to meeting EU （European Union）targets for non-carbon energy generation.Against this background，the fact that there is an argument within the Government over whether to publish an official report on wind farms' impact on the countryside becomes even more extraordinary。

河北省定州市2016-2017学年高二英语下学期周练试题（4.9）一、阅读理解For many people, being on the job might just sound like a picnic compared to a day at home filled with housework, meals and childcare. Even for those with a happy family life, home can sometimes feel more taxing than work.In a new study, researchers at Penn State University found significantly and consistently lower levels of cortisol(皮质醇) released in response to stress, in a majority of subjects when they were at work compared to when they were at home. This was true for both men and women, and parents and people without children.Both men and women showed less stress at work. But women were more likely to report feeling happier there. Men were more likely to feel happier at home. Experts say there are other reasons why work is less stressful than home for many. “Paid work is more valued in society,” says Sarah Damaske, the lead researcher on the study. “Household work is boring and not particularly rewarding.”We get better at our job with time and the increased competence means less stress and more rewards. Yet none of us, no matter how long we’ve been doing it, ever truly feels like an expert at parenting or even at marriage.The support and friendship of co-workers also offer stress relief. At home, meanwhile, st ress spreads and accumulates quickly. “That’s the reason why most housewives wish they were the bread earners,” Dr. Damaske says.Much of the advice to families and couples include the warning to “leave work stress at the office” and even to change our min d-set from work to home, for example, a walk around the block. The recent findings, though, suggest our home life, not our attitude, might be due for some change.1．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “taxing”?A. stressful.B. che erful.C. worthwhile.D. rewarding.2．What did the research in the second paragraph prove?A. Men felt better at home.B. Women felt they had less time.C. Women were easier to feel happier.D. Most people felt more stress at home.3．What do most people think of work at office?A. It is competitive.B. It improves ability.C. It can’t relieve stress.D. It doesn’t always pay off.4．According to the recent findings, what should we change to solve the problem mentioned?A. Our attitude.B. Our mind-set.C. Our home life.D. Our working style.It’s an ordinary morning，like all the others．But instead of being woken up by the buzzing of an alarm clock, you’ll be roused by the smell of freshly made coffee，light entering your room as the curtains open automatically，and a gentle back massage（按摩）provided by your high-tech bed.This is what a typical(典型的) person's life will be like two decades from now，according to The Guardian. Want to know more?After you get up, your apartment will be like an electronic orchestra with you as the conductor. With simple moves of your hand and spoken instructions, you’ll be able to control your apartment’s temperature, humidity, music and lighting. You’ll be able to look through the day’s news on translucent screens whi le your breakfast waits for you in the automatic oven.As you move into your kitchen, you might accidentally hit your toe on a cupboard. If you do, you’ll grab your cell phone and open the diagnostics(诊断) app. Inside your phone there will be a tiny microchip(芯片) that uses X-ray waves to scan your body. The scan will tell whether your toe is bruised or broken. After breakfast, your driverless car will take you to work. While you “drive”, your central computer system will suggest a list of chores(家务事) that your housekeeping robots can do that day and it will also remind you to buy a gift for your mother’s upcoming birthday.As you can see, with the help of advanced technology, our lives will be more efficient(有效率的). Technology will mitigate our forgetfulness and free us of many small burdens that distract us, such as buying a ticket. Our brain will therefore be able to focus on more important things like preparing for a presentation or doing “deep thinking”.However, the development of technology might have some disadvantages as well. By 2036, we’ll be relying heav ily on the virtual(虚拟的) world, which will mean that all of our data will be stored in the cloud, a remote digital storage system with near limitless capacity(容量). That will increase the possibility of someone else accessing, sharing or manipulating(操控) our personal information. 5．What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?A. To stress the importance of developing technology.B. To remind people not to depend too much on computers．C. To introduce one new invention that will benefit our future lives.D. To describe how advanced tech nologies will affect our future lives. 6．According to the text, in two decades, ________.A. you’ll be able to rely on an electronic orchestra to wake you up instead of an alarm clockB. a tiny microchip in your phone will treat you when you are sickC. you will be able to adjust the conditions of your apartment via oral instructions or simple hand gesturesD. technology will be smart enough to help us with important things like preparing for a presentation7．What doe s the underlined word “mitigate” in Paragraph 6 mean?A. Make up for.B. Worsen.C. Cure.D. Take advantage of.When we know somewhere well，we say we “know it like the back of our hand”. But new research has shown that we don’t actually know as m uch about our hands as we think we do.Wider and shorterProfessor Matthew Longo at the University of London and his team did an experiment, covering the left hands of 100 people. Then they asked the people to point to wher e they thought their fingertips and knuckles (指关节) were. They made some quite big mistakes.“People think their hand is wider than it actually is,” said Longo. The fingers also seem shorter than they are. This mistake gets worse as you go across the hand from the thumb to the little finger.Sense of position“It is connected to our sense of position,” explained Longo. This is our ability to tell where different parts of our bodies are, even when we can’t see them. “It tells us whether a joint is straight, or not” he said. It also tells us whether we are going up or down in an elevator. All this information comes from signs from nerves in real time. It’s like our brain has maps —maps that show the size and shape of our body. “This experiment tried to find those maps,” said Longo.Strength(强度) of feelingBut these maps make mistakes. These mistakes may be made because of how the brain understands different parts of the skin. “Our brains ‘see’ areas as larger where the skin feels touch strongly,” said Longo. Body parts don’t appear as their true size, but appear bigger or smaller depending on how strongly they feel touch. Our lips, for example, have more nerves than our nose. So brain “sees” lips on its map of the body as being bigger than our nose. The same thing happens for other parts of the body that have lots of nerves.Longo believes that more research in this area may help us to understand eating problem better, because people suffering from these problems may not know their bodies properly.8．Which of following statement is TRUE about the experiment according to the article?A. People think their body parts are larger than they actually are.B. People made more mistakes about their little fingers length than their thumbs’ length.C. People’s fingers are actually shorter than they think.D. People were asked to draw their hands from memory9．What does the underlined “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The new experiment.B. The location information.C. The mistake people made.D. The sizes of fingers and hands.10．We can learn from the article that ________.A. the maps of people’s bodies form before they are bornB. the maps of our body are based on information from nervesC. our sense of position tells how different parts of the body workD. how we feel about our body shape is only decided by our sense of position 11．We can infer from the article that ________.A. the hand feels touch more strongly than fingers doB. our lips have a weaker sense of touch than our noseC. there are more nerves in the finger than in the handD. our sense of position should not be trusted because it is too often incorrect二、完形填空When my sister Diane began playing the violin, she was seven.

What is so great about choice? It transforms us from dumb animals into artists. Each of us becomes another Michelangelo. Choice becomes nothing other than the tool we use to sculpt (雕刻）our life. The tool doesn’t come free, however, for the price of choice is responsibility. 33． The reward is happiness.Life is not still. It is a flow. 34． We constantly need to monitor where we are on our journey. We need to ask questions: Am I moving closer to my goals? If not, what corrective measures can I take? What action will I take now to readjust myself to my goals? Choice is power. Choice is at the heart of life. It is the creative power of life.35． And your life becomes more convenient or comfortable because of them. For example, you decide which stores to shop at and which gas station to go to. But the decisions that we make to sculpt our lives are far more important than deciding where to shop. The more we appreciate the difference between minor and major decisions, the greater the probability that we will experience happiness and fulfillment.All chess lovers realize that it isn’t necessary to win to enjoy the game. The pleasure is in the playing. Life is like a chess game. 36．A.But when we accept and carry it out, we get a great return.B.Make the best moves you can under the circumstances.C.Life is full of hard choices, and the bigger they are, the harder they get.D.Every choice we make leads us closer to or farther from our goals.E.Choose to carry out responsibilities not because you have to, but be cause you want to.F.You have to make choices every day.G.It is free will or choice.四、短文改错37．假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改短文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。
