【题目】—Why didn’t you finish the task?

—I didn’t think it is ________ the effort.

A. worthwhile B. deserving C. valuable D. worth

【答案】 D

【解析】

试题分析：句意：— 你为什么没完成任务？— 我觉得它不值得努力。deserving (of)值得…的；valuable有价值的；worth是一个只能作表语的形容词，意思为“值……的”、“相当于……的价值的”、“有……价值的”、“值得……的”。后面接名词、或主动形式的动名词作宾语。例如：This second-hand car is worth $2000 at the most. The exhibition is worth a visit/visiting. It’s not worth getting angry with him.；worthwhile既可作表语，又可作定语。表示某事因重要、有趣或受益大而值得花时间、金钱或努力去做，一般做“值得的”、“值得做的”、“有意义的”解。用作表语时，可接动名词或动词不定式。例如： The Summer Palace is worthwhile going / to go to have a visit. Helping old people is a worthwhile activity. Thank you for your worthwhile suggestion.由此可以看出选D正确。

考点: 考查形容词词义辨析的用法。

【题目】What is the purpose of reading or studying? If you can't remember what you read or study, it will be a waste of time. 【1】 One useful aid that does help you remember what you study is to have a specific purpose or reason for reading.

Why does a clerk in a store go away when your reply to her offer to help is, "No, thank you, I'm just looking."? Both you and she know that if you aren't sure what you want, you are not likely to find it. But suppose you say instead, "Yes, thank you. I want a pair of sun glasses." She says, "Right this way, please.” It’s quite the same with your studying. If you choose a book, "just looking" for nothing in particular, you are likely to get just that—nothing. 【2】 Your reasons will vary; they will include reading or studying "to find out more about", "to understand the reasons for" and "to find out how"．

【3】 Before you start to study, you say to yourself something like this, "I want to know why Stephen Vincent Benet happened to write about America"．Because you know why you are reading or studying, you relate the information to your purpose and remember it better．

Reading is not one single activity. 【4】 As you read, you take in ideas rapidly and accurately. But at the same time you express your own ideas to yourself as you react to what you read. You have a kind of mental conversation with the author．

This additional process of thinking about what you read includes evaluating it, relating it to what you already know, and using it for your own purposes. 【5】 One part of critical reading, as you have discovered, is distinguishing between facts and opinions. Facts can be checked by evidence. Opinions are one's own personal reactions．Another part of critical reading is judging sources. Still another part is drawing accurate inferences.

A. This is an effective studying way.

B. In other words, a good reader is a critical reader.

C. You remember better when you know what you’re reading.

D. At least two important processes go on at the same time.

E. It is important for students to have a positive attitude to their study.

F. But if you do know what you want, you are almost sure to get it.

【题目】A new study from Harvard University revealed that the message parents mean to send to children about the value of sympathy (同情心）is being mistaken by the message they actually send. In fact they value achievement and happiness above all else.

The Making Caring Common Project at Harvard’s Graduate School of Education surveyed 10,000 middle and high school students about which is more important to them—achievement, happiness, or caring about others. Almost 80 percent of students placed achievement or happiness over caring about others. Only 20 percent of students considered caring about others as their top aim.

In the study “The Children We Mean to Raise: The Real Message Adults Are Sending about Values”, the authors refer to a reality gap, an incongruity (不一致) between what adults tell children they should value and the message we grown-ups actually send through our behavior.

Simply talking about sympathy is not enough. While 96 percent of parents say they want to raise caring children, and cite the development of moral character as “very important, if not essential”, 80 percent of the youths surveyed reported that their parents “are more concerned about achievement and happiness than caring about others”. Approximately the same percentage of the students reported that their teachers put their achievement over caring.

As the report shows, simply talking about sympathy is not enough. Children are sensitive creatures, fully capable of telling the true meanings in the blank spaces between well-organised words. If parents really want to let their kids know that they value care and sympathy, the authors suggest, they must make a real effort to help their children learn to care about other people—even when it’s hard, even when it does not make them happy, and yes, even when it is at odds with(与……不一致) their personal success.

【1】The first paragraph suggests that parents _____.

A. don’t intend to valuesuccess

B. fail to make students realize the importance of sympathy

C.value achievement less

D. regard achievement and happiness as the same

【2】What can be concluded from the study?

A. About 80% of the students are not caring.

B. Kids care more about achievement.

C. 20% of the students are not ambitious.

D. A majority of the kids are kind students.

【3】What may be the cause for the reality gap?

A. Children’s desire for getting individual achievement.

B. The generation gap between parents and children.

C. Children’s failure to understand parents’ well-organised words.

D. Parents’ lack of a real effort to guide children.
