题目内容

Do you know what a resolution is? It’s a kind of promise. Most of the time, we make promises to other people. For example, “Mom, I promise I’m going to tidy my room when I get back from school.” However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions, and the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. When we make resolutions at the beginning of the year, we hope that we are going to improve our lives. Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.
There are different kinds of resolutions. Some are about physical health. For example, some people promise themselves they are going to start an exercise program or eat less fast food. Many resolutions have to do with self-improvement. These are about making yourself a better person.
Some people might say they are going to take up a hobby like painting or taking photos, or learn to play the guitar. Some resolutions have to do with better planning, like making a weekly plan for schoolwork. For example, a student may have to find more time to study.
Although there are differences, most resolutions have one thing in common. People hardly ever keep them! There are good reasons for this. Sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep. Sometimes people just forget about them. For this reason, some people say the best resolution is to have no resolutions! How about you — will you make any next year?
小题1:Is a resolution a promise you make to other people?
小题2:When do people often make resolutions?
小题3:Who do some people tell their resolutions to?

试题分析:你知道一项决定是什么吗?这是一种承诺。大多数时候, 我们对别人做出承诺。然而,对你自己做出的承诺是决心。接下来作者对各种各样的决心,进行了小小的总结,最后得出结论是没有决心是最好的决心。
小题1:细节理解题。 问题:一个决定就是你向别人许下的承诺吗?分析原文: Most of the time, we make promises to other people. However, promises you make to yourself are resolutions .句意:大多数时候, 我们对别人做出承诺。但是,你对自己做的承诺就是决心。因此问题的答语为否定回答。故填:No, it isn’t.
小题2:细节理解题。问题:人们经常在什么时候许下承诺?分析原文: the most common kind is New Year’s resolutions. The start of the year is often a time for making resolutions. 句意:最常见的是新年决心。一年的开始是做出决心的开始。明确了时间为一年的开始。故填:At the start/beginning of the year.
小题3:细节理解题。问题:有些人会将他们的决定告诉给谁?联系原文:Some people write down their resolutions and plans for the coming year. This helps to remember their resolutions. Others tell their family and friends about their wishes and plans.句意:一些人将决定写下来,这能帮助他们记住他们的决心。有的人是将这些告诉他们的家人和朋友。明确答案是告诉他们的家人和朋友。故填:Their family and friends.
小题4:细节理解题。问题:在第二段中提到了多少种决心?通过对第二段的理解与分析,总共提到三种,分别是身体健康,提高能力和成为更好的人。故填:Three.
小题5:细节理解题。问题:为什么人们很难坚持他们的决心?分析原文的最后一段,明确指出:有时人们很难坚持它,有时人们会忘记它。因此对于这种现象,人们说最好的决心是没有决心。故填:Because sometimes the resolutions may be too difficult to keep, and sometimes people just forget about them.

Sometimes I really wonder whether there is love between my parents. Every day they are very busy making money. They don’t act in the romantic ways that I read about in books or I see on TV. In their opinion, “I love you” is too much to say.

Have you ever been sad because you failed in something? If so, please remember, for often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Enjoy the process(过程). Here is a story to tell you why.
One day a little boy decided to dig a hole behind his house after watching a science program. As he was working, a couple of boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a deep hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that it was impossible to do it. Then they left.
The little boy kept on digging and digging. Suddenly, a few small colorful stones caught his eyes. He collected them and put them into a glass box patiently. Humming a song, he went on digging. The box was full soon. Then he talked to himself quietly and proudly, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I have found in the process of digging!”
The boy’s goal was too difficult, but it did cause him to go on, in other words, to cause us to keep working.
Not every goal will be achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you can’t achieve your goal, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things that have come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really has a meaning.
小题1: Is achieving what you expect the most important thing in the passage?
小题2: When did the little boy decide to dig a hole behind his house?
小题3:Why did the older boys begin to laugh at the little boy?
小题4: What did the boy find in the process of digging?
小题5: What does the writer want to tell us?
Are you sometimes a little tired and sleepy in the early afternoon? Many people feel this way after lunch. They may think that eating lunch is the cause of the sleepiness. Or, in summer, they may think it is the heat. However, the real reason lies in their bodies. At that time---about eight hours after you wake up, your body temperature goes down. This is what makes slow down and feel sleepy. Scientists have tested sleep habits in experiments where there was no night or day. The people in experiments almost always followed a similar sleeping pattern(模式). They slept for one long period and then for one short period about eight hours later.
In many parts of the world, people take naps(小睡) in the middle of the day. This is especially true in warmer climates, where the heat makes work difficult in the early afternoon. Researchers are now saying that _____________ are good for everyone in any climate. A daily nap gives one a more rested body and mind and therefore is good for health in general. In countries where naps are traditional, people often suffer less from heart disease.
Many working people, unluckily, have no time to take naps. Though doctors may advise taking naps, employers(雇主们) do not allow it! If you do have the chance, however, here are a few tips about making use of your nap. Remember that the best time to take a nap is about eight hours after you get up. A short sleep too late in the day may only make you feel more tired and sleepy afterward. This can also happen if you sleep too long. If you do not have enough time, try a short nap--- even ten minutes sleep can be helpful.
