题目内容

This Thursday, across the US, kids are skipping school(缺课)and going to work with their parents. They’ll be making copies, sending faxes(传真)and sweeping floors. This is because April 28 is Take Our Sons and Daughters to Work Day all over the US. This holiday shows kids what it means to be a grown-up in the working world.
I still remember when this day started, I was very happy. Not only did I have the chance to miss school, but I also got to sit in my dad’s taxi all day long and we would go to a restaurant for lunch.
But after only 20 minutes of driving around the city. I was very bored. I couldn’t read my book in the car as I would get carsick(晕车)and my dad didn’t like to turn on the radio. I got hot and uncomfortable. people wouldn’t get into his taxi because they thought he already had a passenger: me—so nothing happened. It seemed years before we went out for lunch. I actually started to miss school.
While the point of the day is to give kids a chance to experience real-life jobs and give them an idea of the possibilities(可能性) for their futures, I got something completely different from the day. I learned to appreciate(重视) school. Where else do you get to play with your friends, do science experiments, read great books and write stories all in one day?
Just as you’ll have to learn to love your job later in life, learn to love school now. If you don’t already, try spending the day at work with your dad.

The other day my daughter finally had a day off work. We decided to go out in the    16  for the time, together! It was an enjoyable experience. Then a surprising thing happened. She turned and asked, “Hey, Dad, can I    17  the boat?” I had a look of fear in my eyes    18  the boat can be driven at a very high speed and can be turned over very quickly. However, I gave the driving seat to her and began    19  her how to properly control the boat. I told her to remain calm as I had completely believed in her.
It can be both frightening and exciting when your child tries doing something, even if it’s a small thing, you still feel like they are growing up too fast and it’s out of your    20  . Time goes by so quickly, so it’s    21  to spend time with your kids, with your family. It is an amazing feeling to experience as their confidence grows.
In every situation if you relax, take your time, and show confidence, you will have a great      22  . We not only had a    23  morning on the boat, but also invited our little neighbour who is 8 years old and put him in the    24  right between us. As I drove at top speed, making sudden turns and jumping over the waves, all I could hear was my neighbour      25  and screaming at the top of his voice because he was having such a great time.

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any "secrets" to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s "back to school" speech. Here is a small part of his speech.
I know that sometimes, after watching TV, you may feel that you can be rich and successful without any hard work--that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star. But when chances come, you may not succeed.
The truth is, being successful is hard. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world have had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was rejected(退稿)12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career (职业生涯). But he once said, "I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."
These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you--you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.
No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it.
And even when you’re struggling(挣扎), even when you’re discouraged(泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you--don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.
小题1:Why does Barack Obama talk about JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the second paragraph?
A.To show that these two famous persons are different.
B.To show that writing and sports are difficult skills.
C.To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.
D.To show that being successful is hard.
小题2:Barack Obama believes ____________ in his speech.
A.you can be rich and successful without any hard work
B.you may succeed at everything the first time you try
C.you can’t let your failures beat you
D.you shouldn’t ask other people for help
小题3:What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.If you’re discouraged, you should give up on yourself.
B.You should believe in yourself no matter how difficult it is.
C.When you’re struggling, you’ll feel like other people have given up on you.
D.If you are not struggling or discouraged, you can give up on yourself.
小题4:What’s the best title of this small part of Mr. Obama’s speech?
A.The way to succeedB.Failures can help you
C.Don’t give up on yourselfD.Barack Obama’s success
Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.
My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very   36  life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would   37  my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”
At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never   38  again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I didn’t want to be bad enough. She   39  that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school-walking on my own!
When the Great Depression(大萧条)  40 , my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support(支撑) both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be   41  again.
Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real   42  point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels for families and was angry that they charged(收费)an extra $2 for each child. That was too   43  for most American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a hotel for families that would never charge extra for   44 . There were plenty of doubters at that time.
Not   45 , mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of hard time. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my heart, I   46  doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world­ - Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.
You may not have started out life in the best situations. But if you can find a   47  in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

Think back to a time in your life when you tried something new.
When I was a teenager I volunteered to pass out water at a local race. I was so excited to see all the different runners who passed by and quickly took a cup of water. Some ran past,some walked past and a few wheeled past.
I saw so many types of people doing it. I thought maybe I could do it too! The next year I decided to run for the race,but I had little running practice. I just wanted to finish.
On the day of the race,it was terribly hot. After running for about 5 miles,I was thinking,“I must be crazy. Why did I do this? What was I thinking?” And at one moment,I said to myself,“I am never doing this again!”
That first 10 km race was quite an experience. I jogged (慢跑),I walked,I jogged and walked. At times,I didn’t know if I could finish.
Near the end,a 70­year­old man ran past me,very fast,and I felt a little embarrassed (尴尬的) that I was more than 50 years younger than he and I couldn’t even keep up with him. But then I realized something. He was running his race and I was running mine. How often in life do we compare(比较) ourselves to others when we really shouldn’t? I decided that I would not give up on running races,and that one day I would be one of those 70­year­olds who were still running.
As I crossed the finishing line,I was proud of myself. I didn’t regret (后悔) having such an experience.

A.①—②—③B.②—①—③C.①—③—②D.②—③—①
小题4: What is the best title (标题) of the passage?
A.To be No.1.B.Let’s compare.
C.A volunteering job.D.Running your own race.
An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish? '
The child replied," I want the fishing rod(竿)in your hands. "
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod?"
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
小题1:The old man was fishing on the bank of________.
A. a river    B. a lake     C. a pool
小题2: Why did the child refuse the fish the old man gave her?
A. Because she didn't like fish.
B. Because she wanted his fishing rod.
C. Because the old man had few fish.
小题3:The writer thought the child was_____ after she explained why she didn't want the fish.
A. smart        B. hardworking        C. silly
小题4:The article mainly tells us______.
A. if you have a "fishing rod" in your life, you won't be afraid of anything
B. if you have a fishing rod, you'll have a lot of fish to eat
C. "fishing skills" are more important than "the fishing rod" in life
小题5: What is the best tide(标题)for the article?
A. The Fishing Rod  B. The Fishing Man  C. The Fishing Girl
