These are the kinds of statements used in magazine,newspaper,radio and televisionads,promising new shapes and new looks to those who buy the medicine or the device.The promoters of products say they can shape the legs,slim the face,smooth wrinkles,or in some other way to add to beauty or desirability.Often such products are nothing more than moneymaking things for their promoters.The results they produce are questionable,and some are dangerous to health.To understand how these products can be legally promoted to the public,it is necessary to understand something of the laws covering their regulation.If the product is a drug,FDA(Food and Drug Administration)can require proof under the Food,Drug,and Cosmetic Act that is safe and effective before it is put on the market.But if the product is a device,FDA has noauthority to require premarketing proof of safety or effectiveness.If a product already on the market is a danger to health,FDA can request the producer or distributor to remove it from the market voluntarily,or it can take legal action,including seizure(查封)of the product.One notable case a few years ago involved an electrical device called the Relaxacisor,which had been sold for reducing the waistline(腰围) .The Relaxacisor produced electrical shocks to the body through contact pads.FDA took legal action against the distributor to stop the sale of the device on the grounds that it was dangerous to health and life.Obviously,most of the devices on the market have never been the subject of court proceedings (法律诉讼),and new devices appear continually.Before buying,it is up to the consumer to judge the safety or effectiveness of such items.16.It can be inferred that ads mentioned in the text are ______ .A. objectiveB. costlyC. illegalD. unreliable17.Which of the following is true according to the text?______A. The court is in charge of removing dangerous product.B. New products are more likely to be questionable.C. The promoters usually just care about profits.D. The production of a device must be approved by FDA.18.FDA can ask for the proof of safety and effectiveness of a product ______ .A. if it is a deviceB. if it is a drugC. if its consumers make complaintsD. if its distributors challenge FDA's authority19.The author intends to ______ .A. make consumers aware of the promoters' false promisesB. show the weakness of the law on product safetyC. give advice on how to keep young and beautifulD. introduce the organization of FDABDear Dad,Today,I spent a lot of time selecting and reading the Father's Day cards at the shopping mall.They all had a special message that in some way or another reflected how I feel about you.Yet it occurred to me that not a single card said what I really wanted to say to you.You'll soon be 84 years old.Dad,you and I will have had 55 Father's Days together.I haven't always been with you on Father's Day,but I've always been with you in my heart.You know,Dad,there was a time when we were separated by the generation gap.You stood on one side of the Great Divide and I on the other.The Father-Daughter Conflict shifted into high gear(档位)when you taught me to drive the old Dodge while I decided I would drive the Chevy whether you liked it or not.To my surprise,when the police officer sent me home after you reported the Chevy stolen,you were so tolerant(宽容的)about it because I had thought that would probably be the worst night of my life.Our relationship greatly improved when I married a man you liked,and things really turned around when we began making babies right and left.Somewhere along the line,the generation gap disappeared.I suppose I saw us and our relationship as aging together,rather like a fine wine. But the strangest thing happened last week.I was at a stop sign and I watched as you turned the corner in your car.It didn't immediately occur to me that it was you because the man driving looked so elderly and weak behind the wheel of that huge car.Perhaps I saw your age for the first time that day.I guess what I'm trying to say,Dad,is what every son and daughter wants to say to their Dad today.Honoring a father on Father's Day is about respect and sharing and acceptance and tolerance and giving and taking.It's about loving someone more than words can say,and it's my wish that it never had to end.I love you,Dad.Love,Jenny20.How did Jenny probably feel on the night she was sent home by the police?______A. Guilty.B. Nervous.C. Frightened.D. Disappointed.21.We can learn from the text that Jenny and her father ______A. have been getting along very wellB. kept in touch by writing to each otherC. are separated due to the generation gapD. had a hard time understanding each other22.Jenny wrote his father this letter to ______ .A. express her gratitude to himB. tell him about their conflictsC. say sorry for her being stubbornD. remind him of the early incidentCA scientist turned out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she dealt with it.Some children reached eagerly for the candy they saw.Some lasted a few minutes before they gave in.But others were determined to wait until the last moment.By the time the children reached high school,something amazing had happened.A survey found that those who were four-year-olds having enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular,adventurous,confident and dependable.The children who gave in to temptation (诱惑)early were more likely to be lonely,easily upset and inflexible. Actually,the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn't show up on an IQ test.The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists' concerns.But brain theory can't explain what we wonder about most,like the question why some people remain in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant (有抵抗力的)soul.Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman,writer of Emotional Intelligence:when it comes to predicting people's success,brain ability measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as "characters".EQ is not the opposite of IQ.What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together and how one's ability handles stress,for instance,affecting the ability to concentrate and putting intelligence to use.Among the ingredients (要素)for success,researchers now gradually agree that IQ counts for about 20%,the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues are finally taken seriously,some few fear EQ invites misuse.23.Why does the author mention the experiment at the beginning of the text?______A. To make the readers amused.B. To prove the scientists' wisdom.C. To introduce the topic of the text.D. To show us how to do an IQ test.24.The experiment with the four-year-olds shows us that ______ .A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experimentB. the ability of sell-control plays a role in personal successC. emotional intelligence won't show up until teen yearsD. candy can be used to measure a person's emotional intelligence25.The underlined word "upbeat" in Paragraph 4 probably means ______ .A. positiveB. negativeC. impatientD. friendly26.From the passage we learn that ______ .A. EQ does not have any connection with IQB. the higher a person's IQ is,the higher his or her EQ isC. brain theory is able to explain what we wonder about mostD. scientists haven't discovered the way EQ and IQ work together.DFast walkers may live longer than dawdlers (缓慢的人)— regardless of their weight,a new study suggests.Researchers at Leicester University analyzed data on 474,919 people with an average age of 52 in the UK Biobank between 2006 and 2016.They found women who walked had a life expectancy of 86.7 to 87.8 years old,and men who kept up the pace had a life expectancy of 85.2 to 86.8.Slow walkers hadn't much encouraging prospects (前景):women had a life expectancy of 72.4,and men of 64.8 years old,if they were more leisurely in their movements.According to the paper,published last week,that ratio held true even if the fast walkers were severely overweight.It does not necessarily mean fast walkers will live longer.Experts say it suggests walking speed could be a simple way for doctors to judge their patients' general health alongside other tests.It is hardly the first study holding up walking speed as a powerful evidence that appears to improve and determine our health.In 2011,the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA)published a study by Stephanie Studenski,who found the same:walking speed was a reliable predictor of life expectancy.In 2013,US researchers found walking pace was linked to lower heart disease risk and longerlife expectancy.In 2018,a study from the University of Sydney found picking up your walking pace to even an "average speed" could cut your risk of premature death by a fifth.And Tom Yates,the physical activity professor at Leicester who's behind the latest study,has been publishing findings on this connection for years.In 2017,he analyzed the same UK Biobank data and found walking speed appeared to affect the risk of dying from heart disease — concluding that the slowest walkers were twice as likely to suffer a heart-related death compared to quick walkers.27.What does the underlined word " " in paragraph 2 probably mean______A. Casually.B. Quickly.C. Actively.D. Energetically.28.What does the paper published last week show?______A. Most fast walkers are overweight.B. Fast walkers have a simple way of living.C. Walking speed can help doctors know about their patients' general health.D. Doctors will surely have better ways to cure their patients of their illness.29.What did US researchers find?______A. Walking slowly is bad for people's health.B. Walking speed can predict a person's life expectancy.C. People won't die early by increasing their walking pace.D. Lower heart disease risk is determined partly by walking pace.30.What's the best title for the text?______A. Fast Walkers May Have a Long Life ExpectancyB. Life Expectancy Is Determined by ExerciseC. Researchers Try to Improve Life ExpectancyD. The Public Doubt Researches on Walking Speed三、完形填空(本大题共20小题,共30.0分)During school,college and service I never participated in any group discussion or stage program.Therefore,I didn't know what the stage(31)was.Our school has a weekly "Parents View"(32)in the assembly.

We watched silently in astonishment, never having been so close to such a huge, fast-moving creature. It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin.In early December, gray whales, blue whales, and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California, Mexico, moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez. It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies. Other whale babies, born the year before, could be seen sailing behind. All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own.We're in one of several small powerboats, sent out by ScubaCaribe, which carries onsuch tours in Cabo San Lucas, the whales seemed to be, at times, less than 100 feet from our boat when they rushed out of the water. At other times, they would get much closer and swim beside the boat.“What if one lands on us?” a woman next to me wondered. Fernando Del Toro, the Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said, “We haven't had any incidents (事件) of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance. We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats. Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.”“Everyone can enjoy this magical trip,” said Del Toro. “However, we do not recommend (推荐) it for kids under 5 years old,” he added.Though conditions on the water vary, our trip was wonderful. Even when the boat sped up to catch up with the whales, there was little need to “hang on”, and some of us remained standing throughout most of the trip. Still, you may want to pack medicine for those who might get seasick while bouncing (颠簸行进) along the waves.41.How does the author start the text?A.By telling a story.B.By asking questions.C.By describing a scene.D.By giving background information. 42.How did the author feel when seeing the jumping whales?A.Proud.B.Worried.C.Amazed.D.Discouraged. 43.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A.A description of the author's journey.B.A list of best places for whale-watching. C.An introduction to the travelling of whales.D.A suggestion on taking a whale-watching tour.44.What does Del Toro say about whale-watching?A.It is suitable for all ages.B.It is much too dangerous.C.It may cause serious damage to wildlife.D.It should be done from a proper distance.45.How was the author's trip?A.It was smooth.B.It was exhausting.C.It was destroyed by a storm.D.It was terrible due to his seasickness.SHOULD WE FIGHT NEW TECHNOLOGY?only what they want you to see and it is perceived as reality. But how would that reality change if you saw what went on behind the scenes or what was left out?What's your story?We all have a story. Over time, your story takes on a life of its own and you become your story. But who's the author and why did him put so much crap in there? All that unnecessary suffering, struggle, heartache, worry and pain... wouldn't it be better to live a story without all that? Who wants to live in a story with that much boredom and unfulfilled longings?The story got its start when you were born, and was co-authored by you along with the influences in your life. __③__ Anytime you were influenced by someone or something, you unconsciously handed your pen over and said “Here, you write this about me.” So you are not even writing your OWN story! No one does—until they recognize that fact, and make a conscious decision to take control of the pen. You CAN write your story the way you want it to play out.________________It is helpful to understand how the brain takes reality and filters it to create your unique perception of reality. It's an automatic unconscious action that is based on:● Physical experiences (which is why some optical illusions are extremely unsettling)● Past conditioning (how you are programmed to see the world)__④__ When you become aware of the fact that you are constructing your own reality, you can take charge and build one that is more pleasing. If you change your mind, your vibration and your intentions, you can change your circumstances!

And at how he did it — without bitterness or complaint.He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able. What he looked for in others was a “good heart”, and if he found one, the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older, I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people, even though I still don’t know precisely what a “good heart” is. But I know the times I don’t have one myself.My father has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks. If he did, I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was, how unworthy I was, how I regretted it. I think of him when I complain about incident, when I am envious of another’s good fortune, when I don’t have a “good heart”.At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance, and say, “You set the pace, I will try to adjust to you.”56.What wouldn’t the author like others to see?(No more than 10 words)57.What’s the meaning of the underlined phrase “let on” in the first paragraph?

2023年天津市重点中学高考英语全真模拟试卷(二)一、单选题(本大题共1小题,共1.0分)1. With no gravity to push against,astronauts' bones and muscles ________become weak.()A. shouldB. mustC. canD. need二、阅读理解(本大题共5小题,共12.5分)AIn 1910,the Los Angeles Times ran a story about a boy who was charged with opening a valve (阀门)on a water pump powered by a steam engine to release the built-up pressure.His whole job consisted of staring at these machines all day,which was incredibly boring.The " lazy " boy then invented a release for the pump to run just as it should and won his freedom.The first automatic steam engine was born.This story may be fictional,but the boy's behavior reflects a deeper truth.When we are feeling lazy,we often search for an easier way,trying to update the process and save time and effort.In other words,laziness can drive innovation.In recent years,some psychologists and business leaders have wised up to this insight,changing our perspective of what laziness really means.Both Bill Gates and Walter Chrysler have been credited with a quote:" I always choose a lazy person to do a hard job because a lazy person will find an easy way to do it. "Our brains are born for pared with our ancestors who had to conserve energy to compete for food,flee from predators,and fight,we now don't take survival as a daily issue.It seems natural that we would choose to be "lazier" ,but the opposite has occurred.According to the U.S.Bureau of Labor Statistics,Americans sleep less and work more than we used to;productivity per worker has gone up 400 percent since 1950.Our culture teaches us that our worth depends on how industrious we are,so we work even harder to produce even more.But there's one big paradox (悖论),sad but true:The harder we work,the less productive we are.When demand increases,we tend to push harder.Yet the trouble is that,without any refresh and recharge,we are less efficient,make more mistakes,and get less engaged with what we're doing.Therefore,how can we make our labor more meaningful and our lives more fulfilling?Current research in psychology and neuroscience points to a new understanding of the value of the wandering mind.Taking breaks and allowing your thoughts to drift can help your brain retain information,refocus,and gain fresh perspective.Here's the core problem:When the tine finally comes to put our feet up,we often don't know how.We have little training in how to be idle.But at least give it a shot.Maybe this week,notice some downtime in your day,some white space in your calendar.Instead of filling the space with more work,just sit in the sofa,and be,in the words of poet Mary Oliver, " idle and blessed. "2. The author tells the story in paragraph 1 to prove ______ .A. the kid needs punishingB. boredom enhances productivityC. creativity contributes to lazinessD. laziness inspires new ideas3. How did the author support his opinion in the third paragraph?______A. By listing some numbers of being lazy.B. By quoting some great figures' words.C. By making a comparison between two great figures.D. By giving examples of how to be creative.4. What can we infer from paragraph 4?______A. People nowadays don't have to face poverty.B. Modern society honors creativity.C. Americans lives a poorer life than before.D. Ancestors consider industry as a value.5. Which of the following idea will the author probably agree with?______A. Working 24-7 with a tight schedule.B. Taking three part-time jobs to fill weekends.C. Watching a stand-up comedy after a busy weekday.D. Attending a formal dinner with business purpose.6. The author writes this passage to ______ .A. compare the previous understanding of idleness to the newB. persuade people to give up the value of hard workC. criticize the irresponsible attitude towards lifeD. encourage people to keep refreshed for better work and life三、阅读表达(本大题共1小题,共10.0分)7. Every child has a dream of what they want to be,right?When Renee Butts was little,her dream was to become a volunteer firefighter because her father was one.Sadly,when she was 14,her beloved father passed away and she was unable to do volunteer work with him.However,she was determined and never gave up,which makes for a good firefighter.Now Renee is a member of the Carmel Fire Department,where she is required to be an Emergency Medical Technician.She should also be ready to deal with any emergency,like fighting a fire,dealing with a car accident or helping someone who's sick.Sometimes she is in the driver's seat or using the water pump.Renee works nine to eleven days a month on 24-hour shifts.She also has a family to care for,as her husband is also a busy firefighter.Dealing with housework and working so much can show her great determination.When I asked Renee what the best part of her job is,she replied, "Helping people and the satisfaction of saving lives." I think that shows signs of being a true hero.She's always willing to do anything for anyone in need.Renee says that her job is frightening at times,but extremely exciting. "The worst part of my job is that I see death.Actually,sometimes,people die in the accident,for which I was very sorry," said Renee.I was inspired by this because I know I would be very scared to do her job and don't know if I could handle seeing people die.With 140 people in her station,Renee is one of the only three women,but that doesn't bother her.She says and they all do the same jobs.We would never live without people like her who have the courage to risk their lives.Renee's determination rubs off on me and helps me believe that I can do anything.(1) What's Renee's job in the Carmel Fire Department?(No more than 5 words)______(2) What makes Renee balance between doing housework and working so much?(No more than 5 words)______(3) Why does the author think Renee Butts is a true hero?(No more than 15 words)______(4) How do you understand the underlined part in Paragraph 4?(No more than 5 words)______(5) What do you think of Renee?Please give your reasons.

lights,and playing in the snow?Then you'll want to skate straight to these winter spots.Fairbanks,AlaskaAlaska is a good choice for a great winter getaway.For winter fun,head to Fairbanks,where you can stay at a new cottage with glass-ceiling domes for aurora (极光)viewing in comfort and then head out ice fishing and snowmobiling.Want even more adventure?Consider a guided adventure that combines northern lights,cross-country skiing,and dog mushing.Kirkenes,NorwayThe Kirkenes Snow hotel here welcomes visitors to its ice-sculpted rooms.Besides,you can jump on a sled (雪橇)pulled by dogs or bring your appetite for a King Crab Safari.First,you'll be on a sled pulled by a snowmobile across the icy sea.Then crab fishermen drill into the ice to create a hole to pull up the large crabs.Another quick sled trip and you've reached a cozy cottage where crab claws as long as your forearm are served up minutes after being pulled from the cold waters,tasting of salt water.A rich reward for braving the cold.St.Moritz,SwitzerlandSkiing down the Alps is obviously a highlight here,but did you know that night skiing in this Swiss town is some of the best in the world?Picture it:Clear sky,full moon,inky quiet,and a sky full of stars.If you need energy for skiing,you can always refuel with pizza from the wood-fired oven at Murt èl middle station.You can keep skiing until the last cable car at -1:40 a.m.Then,check into your room at the Carlton Hotel,where there are a series of daylight activities.Quebec City,CanadaIn the summer months,Quebec City is an excellent destination thanks to its French features and historic old port.But in the winter,don't miss the Winter Carnival,the Carnaval de Quebec,the largest winter carnival in the world.During 17 days the Carnival offers more than 200

(旋转)as though for joy,before jumping back under the waves.We watched silently in astonishment,never having been so close to such a huge,fast-moving creature.It seemed almost possible to count the small shellfish on the whale's skin.In early December,gray whales,blue whales,and others had just started heading around the tip of Baja California,Mexico,moving as a community from the Pacific Ocean to the Sea of Cortez.It's in that protected waterway that pregnant whales give birth to their babies.Other whale babies,born the year before,could be seen sailing behind.All whale babies get two trips like this with their mom before they're ready to start having babies of their own and making the journey on their own.We're in one of several small powerboats,sent out by ScubaCaribe,which carries on such tours in Cabo San Lucas,the whales seemed to be,at times,less than 100 feet from our boat when they rushed out of the water.At other times,they would get much closer and swim beside the boat."What if one lands on us?" a woman next to me wondered.Fernando Del Toro,the Destination Manager of ScubaCaribe said,"We haven't had any incidents (事件)of whales jumping over our boats as we always keep our distance.We're sure they themselves are probably careful not to crash into boats.Such an accident would probably also cause them much harm.""Everyone can enjoy this magical trip," said Del Toro. "However,we do not recommend (推荐)it for kids under 5 years old," he added.Though conditions on the water vary,our trip was wonderful.Even when the boat sped up to catch up with the whales,there was

oppose the idea of developing driverless cars.They said that some advances in technology were unnecessary and could even be dangerous.Hence,we should cease accepting technology just because it is new.The newspaper reported that the car company had already apologized for the accident,but the families of the deceased said it was not enough.Nevertheless,the company still claimed that most people would be travelling in driverless cars one day soon.On the one hand,there are many different groups of people around the world who live happily in the absence of new technology.Probably the most well known are the Amish,a group of Christians living in rural America.They do not own or drive cars,watch TV,or use the Internet.They have lived mainly as farmers since the 18th century,and they will probably be living the same way in the distant future.They advocate a simple life with an emphasis on hard work,family,and community.They think that is better than caring about luxuries or following the lives of the rich and famous.It could even be argued that the Amish's quality of life is better since they live in and appreciate the natural environment rather than living in large,polluted cities.On the other hand,new technology has provided people everywhere with many benefits over the years.For example,the latest weather-tracking computer programs give people lots of warnings about potential natural disasters,which saves many lives.Moreover,the Internet has made it possible for friends and family to keep in touch easily even if they are on opposite sides of the world.It has also madefinding opportunities in life much easier,as it allows people to make larger networks of friends through using social media.Personally,I have benefited quite a lot from technological advances.I found my career as an AI designer through a social media network.My health monitor,which I wear all the time,has also helped me get into the best shape of my life.Of course,when new technology changes the way we live,it can be a scary prospect.Nevertheless,I will always look on the positive side of change and accept it rather than resist it.(1)What can we learn from the first paragraph?A.A person died in an accident while driving his brand-new car.B.The relatives of the victim would never accept the apology.C.Many people took a negative attitude to this new technology.D.The company was very concerned about the future of this new technology.(2)What is the author's purpose in mentioning the Amish in the second paragraph?A.To persuade us to follow their natural living style.B.To tell us the

reality?The way each of us perceives the world is to some degree different than any other person's perception of reality. ①What is absolutely real and right for you may be an illusion,or nonexistent,or completely false for another!It's important to know this. ②For example,the news media loves to create drama,and one of their favorite methods is to elicit(引起)fear:fear of other people,fear of the weather,fear of the economy,etc.The news media tells us how to perceive the world—and if a person takes the newscasters at their word,they perceive the world to be very dangerous and hostile.To that person,the mental images and emotions suggested by other people create a version of reality that is completely different from the reality perceived by someone who does not watch the news.Things are not always what they seem.For most people,seeing is believing,which is why magicians,artists and marketers are so successful.Just like the TV news,they show you only what they want youto see and it is perceived as reality.But how would that reality change if you saw what went on behind the scenes or what was left out?What's your story?We all have a story.Over time,your story takes on a life of its own and you become your story.But who's the author and why did him put so much crap in there?All that unnecessary suffering,struggle,heartache,worry and pain...wouldn't it be better to live a story without all that?Who wants to live in a story with that much boredom and unfulfilled longings?The story got its start when you were born,and was coauthored by you along with the influences in your life. ③Anytime you were influenced by someone or something,you unconsciously handed your pen over and said "Here,you write this about me." So you are not even writing your OWN story!No one does—until they recognize that fact,and make a conscious decision to take control of the pen.You CAN write your story the way you want it to play out.It is helpful to understand how the brain takes reality and filters it to create your unique perception of reality.It's an automatic unconscious action that is based on:●Physical experiences (which is why some optical illusions are extremely unsettling)●Past conditioning (how you are programmed to see the world)④When you become aware of the fact that you are constructing your own reality,you can take charge and build one that is more pleasing.If you change your mind,your vibration and your intentions,you can change your circumstances!Instead of,"I am a victim of circumstance," imprint in your mind,"I am the cocreator of my life";Instead of,"I am sick and tired of..." imprint in your mind,"I am in control and enthusiastic about what I do".Raise your vibration by thinking,talking and acting more positively.As positiveness becomes a mental habit,that change will become your new inner reality,which will soon manifest in your outer reality.The power of perception is immense.Choose to see more good than bad,more abundance than lack,more love than indifference and more success than struggle.(1)What does the underlined word "perception" mean in the first paragraph?A.senseB.acceptanceC.receptionD.deception(2)How does the author present his viewpoints in the first three paragraphs?A.By answering questions.B.By giving examples.C.By making comparisons.D.By drawing conclusions.(3)The sentence "Because if you are not aware,your perception,world view and reality are created by other people." should be put in ______.A.①B.②C.③D.④(4)Which of the following subtitles can be filled in the blank?A.Seeing is not believingB.Live up to your expectationsC.Change your perception and create a new realityD.Physical experiences and past conditioning really count(5)What is the tone of the passage?A.Instructive.B.Humorous.C.Critical.D.Ironic.阅读表达21.When I was growing up,I was embarrassed to be seen with my father.He was severely lame and very short,and when we would walk together,his hand on my arm for balance,people would stare.I would feel ashamed at the unwanted attention.If he ever noticed or was bothered,he never let on,nor did he say anything about it.It was difficult to coordinate (协调)our steps —his pausing,my impatience —and because of that,we didn't say much as we went along.But as we started out,he always said,"You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you."Our usual walk was to or from the subway,which was how he got to work.He went to work sick,and despite bad weather.He almost never missed a day,and would make it to the office even if others could not.A matter of pride.When snow or ice was on the ground,it was impossible for him to walk,even with help.At such times my sisters or I would pull him through the streets of Brooklyn,NY,on a child's sleigh to the subway entrance.Once there,he would grasp the handrail until he reached the lower steps that the warmer tunnel air kept ice-free.In Manhattan the subway station was the basement of his office building,and he would not have to go outside until we met him in Brooklyn on his way home.When I think of it now,I wondered at how much courage it must have taken for a grown man to subject himself to such indignity and stress.And at how he did it —without bitterness or complaint.He never talked about himself as an object of pity,nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or able.What he looked for in others was a "good heart",and if he found one,the owner was good enough for him.Now that I am older,I believe that is a proper standard by which to judge people,even though I still don't know precisely what a "good heart" is.But I know the times I don't have one myself.My father has been gone many years now,but I think of him often.I wonder if he sensed my unwillingness to be seen with him during our walks.If he did,I am sorry I never told him how sorry I was,how unworthy I was,how I regretted it.I think of him when I complain about incident,when I am envious of another's good fortune,when I don't have a "good heart".At such times I put my hand on his arm to regain my balance,and say,"You set the pace,I will try to adjust to you."(1)What wouldn't the author like others to see?(No more than 10 words)(2)What's the meaning of the underlined phrase "let on" in the first paragraph?(No more than 5 words)(3)According to the third paragraph,what conclusion can you get about the father's attitude toward his work?(No more than 8 words)(4)Find an example in the passage that shows the father was a man with a "good heart".(No more than10 words)(5)What does the author learn from his father?(No more than 15 words)感谢信/祝贺信22.假定你是李华。
