题目内容
5.My friend Tim was one of five children.His father was an alcoholic and died very young,and his mother was unable to support the family.Unfortunately,the children were separated and placed in foster homes(收养家庭).Tim dropped out of school and did nothing to further himself.He eventually went through a divorce.Tim's brother,although experiencing the same childhood,educated himself and got a good job.He has a happy family and a wonderful home.
Both brothers gave a similar answer when asked why their lives turned out the way they did.They said,"You'd turn out this way too if you had a childhood like mine."Neither of the brothers could change his past,but one of them adjusted(调整) his sail.
It doesn't take much to find an excuse whether that is our family background,our lack of education,or that we live in the wrong city,or do not know the right people.Each one of these excuses has a solution.However,if you believe that there is nothing you can do to turn your life around,then you won't be able to change your life for the better.
If you really desire to turn your life to a new course,to set your sail to a different port,it is a matter of choice.If you choose to move forward,the easiest way is to find a solution to your today's situation.Solutions are there if you want to go after them.Sure,it may take some hard work,or the willingness to take a risk.But if you do not,then you will never have a different or happy life.Do not limit yourself by finding an excuse; only limit yourself by refusing to have an excuse.

点评 人物故事类阅读理解文章是高考英语常考材料之一.这类文章一般可分为人物传记和短篇故事两类.这两类阅读材料一般较长,即词数多,而且命题也较多,特别是推理判断题和事实细节题多.在做此类阅读理解题时往往是材料看得懂,题目不好做的感觉.因此,在阅读材料时要重点放在事情发展的过程和结果上,注意把握事件的发展进程及人物之间的关系,细节与主题的关系,用以说明人物性格特点的事实、作者的态度等,这些内容往往是推理判断题的命题点.至于事实细节题的解答,同学们切忌想当然或者凭印象,一定要找到文章中的原句,和题干进行比较,再做出正确选择.
