1.Maybe it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don' t know what we have been missing until it arrives. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don’t expect love in return; but be content that love has grown in your own heart.It takes an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Don’t rely on one's appearance; it can deceive. Don’t rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts others, too. The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those who have been hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You can't go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.(1)You should rely on someone who makes you smile_______________.A、because a smile can make your dark time easier.B、because a smile is bright.C、because you have nothing.D、because you can believe someone(2)What does the word “assurance” mean in the first paragraph?A、returnB、promiseC、maintainD、storage(3)In the third paragraph, “Always put yourself in other's shoes” means_______________.A、you should try other's shoes before you buy it.B、you should make yourself small enough.C、you should consider from another person's aspect.D、None of the above.(4) If you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying when you die, you areA、SatisfiedB、UpsetC、SadD、Indifferent(冷漠的)(5)What has been mentioned in the passage?A、to tell us not to demand too muchB、to warn us not to believe in appearanceC、to consider other people and learn to forgiveD、all of the above

2.CIs there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness (痛苦).Bitterness appears when we can’t forgive (原谅) someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.If you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it.l Accept itInstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. See your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.l Stop making excuses for itYou may feel you have a right to be angry. You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong. You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. But in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. The bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life.l Forgive and forget itYou probably can’t completely put the anger out of your mind. But you can decide to forgive the other person. Forget it and move on. You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.66. According to the passage, we might get angry when someone __________.A. holds us back B. forgets us C. doesn’t like us D. does hurt us

  • 第1题:

    In business, people have to deal in person__________ all kinds of people. You may have to use English when talking to different people within your company who don't speak your language; these may be colleagues or co-workers, superiors or subordinates-who may work with you in your own department, in another part of the building or in another branch. And you may also have to deal in English with people from__________ the organization: clients, suppliers, visitors and members of the public. Moreover, these people may be friends, acquaintances or strangers-people of your own age, or people who are__________ or older than you. The relationship you have with a person determines the kind of language you use. This relationship may even affect what you say when you meet people: for example, it's not__________ to say “Hi, how are you!” when meeting the Managing Director of a large company or to say “Good morning, it's a great pleasure to meet you” when being introduced to a person you'll be working closely with in the same team. Remember that people form. an impression of you from the way you speak and behave-not just from the__________ you do your work. People in different countries have different ideas of what sounds friendly, polite or sincere-and of what sounds rude or unfriendly! Good manners in your culture may be considered bad manners in another. Remember also that your body language, gestures and expression may tell people more about you than the words you use.

    If you want to teach your children how to say sorry,you must be good at saying it yourself,especially to your own children.But how you say it can be quite tricky.
    If you say to your children"I'm sorry I got angry with you,but…”what follows that"but"can render the apology ineffective:"I had a bad day"or"your noise was giving me a headache"leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior in expecting an apology.
    Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say"I'm sorry you're upset";this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
    Then there is the general,all-covering apology,which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting,and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.Saying"I'm useless as a parent"does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
    These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness.Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength,and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
    But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition,children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does,and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable,but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.

    We learn from the last paragraph that in teaching children to say sorry________.
    A:the complexities involved should be ignored
    B:their ages should be taken into account
    C:parents need to set them a good example
    D:parents should be patient and tolerant

    答案:B
    解析:
    细节题。根据第二段中提到的:what follows that "but" can render the apology ineffective:"I had a bad day"or"your noise was giving me a headache"leaves the person who has been injured feeling that he should be apologizing for his bad behavior...“但是”后面的内容会让你的道歉打折扣,“我今天度过了糟糕的一天”或者“你吵得我头疼”这样的话会让已经受伤害的人觉到他应该为自己恶劣的行为道歉······
    推断题。根据第三段后半部分:this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.这等于在暗示你放任自己对别人的所作所为感到生气,对于这一点你是负有责任的。既然是由于放任自己生气,那么当然不怪我了。
    推断题。根据第四段中的提到的specific act(具体的行为)和specific improvement(具体的改善)可以推断出这种笼统的道歉过于模糊,也没有什么效果。
    推断题。根据最后一段中提到的complexities of saying sorry(道歉的复杂性)以及分别列举3岁、6岁和12岁孩子的具体例子,可以推断出教孩子道歉的时候需要考虑到他们的年龄。
    推断题。根据前几段中对于几种道歉时的误区以及最后一段中提到的 complexities of saying sorry(道歉的复杂性)可以推断出:道歉并不像看上去的那么简单。

    Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions
    Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real.You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you.In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions.The important position that best shows your se-cret personality is the one that you go to sleep.
    If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person.You nbrmally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex-press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident.
    If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is.You usually live for today not for tomorrow.
    If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive.You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own.
    If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful.You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

    You may find the passage in ______.
    A: a science magazine
    B: a guide book
    C: a sports newspaper
    D: a story book

    答案:A
    解析:
    整篇文章介绍的是人物的性格特征,外在的和内在的,说明和科学有关。
    跟据文章第一段中“The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.”可知应该是开始睡的时候。
    由文章第三段中的“If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets.”可知。
    从文章第四段中“You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,”可知,保护自己不受到伤害,那么defensive意为“有戒心的”。
    由文章中的第二段到第五段可知。

She is frank and funny, always with a big smile on her face. Though she is not the most beautiful actress she is very charming and cute. She showed her comedic talents in Love Undercover, in which she played as a fledgling policewoman who investigates the drug dealings by disguising herself as a waitress. But finally she lost her heart to Mob, the son of the leader. She vividly portrayed that funny, even bold young policewoman in this film. I was touched by the scene that when her friends were in danger, she had no regard for her own safety. You know they were in a dangerous situation which somebody would shoot them with a gun.

He struggled and fought with these difficulties throughout his childhood. When he was 17 he started his own non-profit organisation Life without Limbs. He lives in Melbourne with his parents and can actually live an independent live. Although he’s in a terrible condition he’s the happiest person I’ve ever seen. He used to have complaints about life but he got over them and embraced his situation finally. He travels to schools, churches and a lot of places to inspire people who also have disability. Moreover, he started establishing funds to help more people. My friends and I were so attracted to his charisma and optimistic attitude. We think he’s definitely happier than most of us because he has a grateful heart. His happiness is contagious and some of my friends even write him letters.

    Another method by which people appear to apologize without actually doing so is to say"I'm sorry you're upset";this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.
    Then there is the general,all-covering apology,which avoids the necessity of identifying a specific act that was particularly hurtful or insulting,and which the person who is apologizing should promise never to do again.Saying"I'm useless as a parent"does not commit a person to any specific improvement.
    These pseudo-apologies are used by people who believe saying sorry shows weakness.Parents who wish to teach their children to apologize should see it as a sign of strength,and therefore not resort to these pseudo-apologies.
    But even when presented with examples of genuine contrition,children still need help to become aware of the complexities of saying sorry. A three-year-old might need help in understanding that other children feel pain just as he does,and that hitting a playmate over the head with a heavy toy requires an apology.A six-year-old might need reminding that spoiling other children's expectations can require an apology. A 12-year-old might need to be shown that raiding the biscuit tin without asking permission is acceptable,but that borrowing a parent's clothes without permission is not.

    If a mother adds"but"to an apology,_________.
    A:she doesn't feel that she should have apologized
    B:she does not realize that the child has been hurt
    C:the child may find the apology easier to accept
    D:the child may feel that he owes her an apology

    答案:D

    推断题。根据第三段后半部分:this suggests that you are somehow at fault for allowing yourself to get upset by what the other person has done.这等于在暗示你放任自己对别人的所作所为感到生气,对于这一点你是负有责任的。既然是由于放任自己生气,那么当然不怪我了。

He hosts the late night television talk show, Late Show with David Letterman broadcasted on CBS. Since the 1982 debut on NBC Letterman has been a fixture on late night television. Our favourite is Late Night with David Letterman. The show is quirky and funny, for example, the Stupid Pet Tricks, demonstrations of unorthodox clothing, dropping various objects off the roof of a five-story building, etc. He’s wit and humorous, I have to say. At that time, it was very popular to watch Foreign TV shows, especially this kind of talk show. As English majors we found it interesting and perfect materials to practice our listening and oral English.

From his painting I can view my life from a new perspective and that is why I appreciate him. He inspires me.
