Years ago, a Southern woman was in one of my workshops. When asked to tell a story that  36 her character (品质), she described an  37 when she was 5. She was at her grandfather’s house  38 up in a beautiful white skirt and new gloves ,   39 as she could be.
Her grandfather told her she could go into the  40 and get herself a cookie. Next to the cookies was a pile of coins. Sure that no one was  41 , she took one of the coins, too.
When she 42 with her cookie, her grandfather asked her to show him her  43 . She held out only her left hand  44 , and he said, “Show me the other hand.” When she unwillingly did  45 , showing the coin, she saw  46 in her grandfather’s eyes.
He paused a moment and then 47 her up, saying, “Darling, you can have anything in the world that I have, but it breaks my heart that you’d ever  48 it.” Some 50 years later, this story of how her grandfather gave her the gift of  49 still brought tears to her eyes.
Few things have as large an influence on  50 the values of a child as the strong pain of lovingly administered shame (羞愧). It helps judge right from wrong and gives a   51 emotional (感情的) dimension to moral (道德的) and character issues.
Kids, and adults for that matter, learn from their  52 . Parents, teachers and coworkers can remind them of their moral responsibilities without shaming or  53 them.
What we can’t do is just let  54 go, unless we want to send the message that’s okay. What we allow, we  55 . And we should never encourage anything other than moral excellence.

Since the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918,Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today.
Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI, a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.
As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI,today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed,and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.
They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.
That’s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.
Yet this message is fading away, year after year.
Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.
Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.
It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.
It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history,no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice.
Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.
Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something. It is unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.
小题1:Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?
A. It’s only held in Canada.
B.Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.
C.It falls on November 11th each year.
D.It’s to celebrate the country’s independence.
小题2:Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today?
A.Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.
B.Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.
C.Wearing a red poppy to show respect.
D.Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.
小题3:What can we learn from the passage?
A.War history is too violent for school children.
B.The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army.
C.Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.
D.More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.
小题4:The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____
A.the death of so many soldiers in wars
B.the fact that there were so many wars after WWI
C.people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they have
D.removing children from Remembrance Day events
小题5:The writer believes that_____
A.the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be remembered
B.Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiers
C.schools - no longer think Remembrance Day is necessary
D.people should be forced to learn about the realities of war
We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up(分开) with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” That is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase(短语) that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice?  The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.
小题1:When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he          .
A.feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to him
B.feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelings
C.thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend
D.is sorry that his friends let him down
小题2:When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!”, he is saying that          .
A.the speaker is just friendly
B.this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”
C.the word “dog” should not be used to apply to(运用到) people.
D.sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious.
小题3:This passage tries to tell you how to          .
A.avoid mistakes about money and friends
B.get an idea of friendly people
C.avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you
D.keep people friendly without trusting them
小题4:The writer suggests that           should be trusted.
A.everybody B.nobody C.all the people D.not all the people
Recently, one of my best friends, whom I've shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago,we've both always looked forward to the few times a year when we can see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how he experimented with drugs and was into other self­destructive(自我毁灭的) behavior. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents about where she was going and even stealing out to see this guy because they didn't want her around him. No matter how hard I tried to tell her that she deserved better, she didn't believe me. Her self­respect seemed to have disappeared.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. I felt like I was getting nowhere. I just couldn't believe that she really  thought it was acceptable to hang out with a group of losers, especially her boyfriend.
By the time she left,I was really worried about her and exhausted by the experience. It had been so frustrating,I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship, but I didn't. I put the power of friendship to the final test. We'd been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation, and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend. I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life. Never had I been so proud of a friend.
小题1:In the writer's opinion,her friend ________.
A.was a girl with no self­respect
B.could find a better boyfriend
C.was brave enough to stick to her own choice
D.didn't value the writer's suggestion
小题2:What did the writer worry about?
A.She would lose the friendship with her.
B.Her friend's parents would be worried about their daughter.
C.Her friend would get into great trouble with the boy.
D.Her friend's boyfriend would be in great trouble.
小题3:We may learn from Paragraph 3 that the writer________.
A.didn't want to go anywhere else
B.understood her friend's hanging with her boyfriend
C.couldn't believe that her friend's choice was acceptable
D.doubted that she could in any way help her friend
小题4:What can be concluded from the passage?
A.Friendship starting from childhood is not reliable.
B.Friendship is a cure for any injury in life.
C.Friendship should be everlasting once begun.
D.Friendship can have magical power in life.
Very old people do raise moral problems for almost everyone who comes in contact with them. Their values—this can't be repeated too often—are not necessarily our values. Physical comfort, cleanness and order are not necessarily the most important things. The social services from time to time find themselves faced with a flat with decaying food covered by small worms (蠕虫), and an old person lying alone in bed, taking no notice of the worms. But is it interfering (妨碍) with personal freedom to insist that they go to live with some of their relatives so that they might be taken better care of? Some social workers, the ones who clear up the worms, think we are in danger of carrying this concept of personal freedom to the point where serious risks are being taken with the health and safety of the old.
Indeed, the old can be easily hurt or harmed. The body is like a car, it needs more mechanical maintenance as it gets older. You can carry this comparison right through to the provision of spare parts. But never forget that such operations are painful experiences, however good the results. And at what point should you stop treating the old body? Is it morally right to try to push off death by pursuing the development of drugs to excite the forgetful old mind and to activate the old body, knowing that it is designed to die? You cannot ask doctors or scientists to decide, because so long as they can see the technical opportunities, they will feel bound to give them a try, on the principle that while there's life, there's hope.
When you talk to the old people, however, you are forced to the conclusion that whether age is happy or unpleasant depends less on money or on health than it does on your ability to have fun.
小题1:It is implied in Paragraph 1 that______.
A.very old people enjoy living with their relatives
B.social services have nothing to do with very old people
C.very old people would like to live alone so that they can have more personal freedom.
D.very old people are able to keep their rooms very clean
小题2:Some social workers think that______.
A.health and safety are more important than personal freedom
B.personal freedom is more important than health and safety
C.old people should keep their rooms clean
D.one should not take the risk of dealing with old people
小题3:In the author's opinion, ______.
A.the human body can't be compared to a car
B.the older a person, the more care he needs
C.too much emphasis has been put on old people's values
D.it is easy to provide spare parts for old people
小题4:The author thinks that______.
A.medical decisions for old people should be left to the doctors
B.old people can enjoy a happy life only if they are very rich
C.the opinion that we should try every means possible to save old people is doubtful
D.it is always morally right to treat old people and push off death
Many years ago my student asked me the question, “Mrs. Kindred, why do you teach?” Without taking time to reflect, I answered ,“Because someday I might say something that might make a difference in someone’s life.” Even though I was sincere, that wasn’t a very good answer and my student didn’t let it slide.
“Let me get this straight,” he said, “You went to college for four years so you could come here every day because you have the hope that someday you might say something that will influence someone?” He shook his head as if I were crazy and walked away looking confused. I’m one of those people who look back and wish they had said something smart or witty, or swift.
Even though that particular student might no longer wonder why I teach, there are days when I wonder. On those days, I remind myself of the real reasons I teach:
It’s in my blood. My mother was my most influential teacher, and she was a 6th grade reading teacher until her death in 1990. She instilled(逐渐灌输)in me a love of reading and the knowledge that education opens doors.
Teaching is a way to make a difference. If you throw a stone in a pond the ripples(波纹) go on and on until they reach the shore. You can’t have ripples without a “stone.” Good teachers throw stones that make a positive difference, and that’s what I strive to do.
I genuinely love teenagers. I want to share with others what I know and what I have learned through the years. Life is full of ups and downs, and if I can help students avoid some potholes on the road of life, I want to do so. If they’ll allow me to celebrate their victories with them, I want to do too. Teaching isn’t for everyone, but I know I made the right career choice.
小题1: Why did the student continue to ask the question about the writer’s being a teacher?
A.Because he thought her answer was unbelievable.
B.Because the writer was insincere.
C.Because the student was naughty.
D.Because the answer was difficult to understand.
小题2: According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
A.The writer’s mother has the greatest influence on her.
B.The writer’s answer made the student confused.
C.In the writer’s opinion, some people in the world are unfit to teach.
D.The writer annoyed the student who asked the question.
小题3: We can infer from the text that      .
A.the writer was also a good teacher in school
B.the writer often plays with her students beside a pond
C.the writer devotes herself to teaching and her students
D.the writer often accompanies the students on their way home.
B
It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or to steal. Every boy, when he is young, should learn how to do some useful work.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul completely into his work, and not waste his spare time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old!
There is no better help to diligence (勤奋) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying, “Lost time never returns”. This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. Those who are diligent will never become beggars. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
小题1:From the passage, we know that those who are too lazy to work will_________.
A.waste their time
B.help others
C.become beggars or thieves
D.make progress some day
小题2:In order to learn to be diligent, it’s important for young people to _________.
A.form the good habit of getting up early in youth
B.learn about some good habits
C.work while they work and play while they play
D.work all the time without playing
小题3:One can’t be successful in life unless he _________when he is young.
A.is diligent in his study
B.loves life
C.spends some time learning something
D.makes up for his lost time
When something goes wrong, it  can be very satisfying to say, “Well, it’s so­and­so's fault.”or “I know I'm late, but it's not my fault; the car broke down.”It is probably not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation.This is the winner's key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example, if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined more regularly. Or,you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don't rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about—creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens. Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So,stop focusing on “whose fault it is.”Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stone for success.
小题1:According to the passage, winners __________.
A.meet with fewer difficulties in their lives
B.have responsible and able colleagues
C.blame themselves rather than others
D.deal with problems rather than blame others
小题2:The underlined word remedy in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to __________.
A.improveB.avoidC.acceptD.consider
小题3:When your colleague brings about a problem, you should __________.
A.blame him for his lack of responsibility
B.tell him to find the cause of the problem
C.find a better way to handle the problem
D.ask a more able colleague for help
小题4:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.A Winner's Opportunity.B.A Winner's Problem.
C.A Winner's Secret.D.A Winner's Achievement.
