When I Have a Different Opinion

_______________________________________________________________________________

There is a very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander the Great, King of Greek. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. So, he lay helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, “I will depart from this world soon, and I have three wishes. Please carry them out without fail.”

“My first desire is that,” said Alexander, “My physicians alone must carry my coffin.” After a pause, he continued, “Secondly, I desire that when my coffin is being carried to the grave, the path leading to the graveyard be spread with gold, silver and precious stones which I have collected.” The king continued, “My third and last wish is that both my hands should be kept hanging out of my coffin.” Alexander’s favourite general kissed his hand and pressed it to his heart. “Oh, King, we assure you that your wishes will all be fulfilled. But tell us why do you make such strange wishes?”

Alexander took a deep breath and said, “I would like the world to know of the three lessons I have just learnt. I want my physicians to carry my coffin because people should realize that no doctor can really cure any bodies. They are powerless and cannot save a person from the clutches of death. So let people not take life for granted.”

“The second wish of spreading gold, silver and other riches on the way to the graveyard is to tell people that not even a bit of gold will come with me. I spent all my life earning riches but cannot take anything with me. Let people realize that it is just a waste of time to chase wealth.”

“And about my third wish of having my hands hanging out of the coffin, I wish people to know that I came empty-handed into this world and empty-handed out of this world.” With these words, the King closed his eyes. Soon he let death conquer him and breathed his last.

B. realized that what he got in his life was nothing to him at all

C. was spending a lot time conquering many kingdoms and had earned a great amount of wealth

D. regarded his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth as the most important things

2.The underlined word “clutches” in Paragraph 3 means “________”.

3.The author intends to ________.

A. tell us the story of Alexander

B. stress the power of Alexander the Great

D. introduce readers to the instructive lessons of Alexander

4.What would be the best title of the passage?

To the Editor,

I have been reading your newspaper, the Hometown Gazette, for the past two years, ever since I moved to Smithville. We moved here from New York City, so I am accustomed to reading excellent newspapers such as The New York Times. In fact, we still have the Times delivered on Sundays. The entire family enjoys reading the recipes(食谱) in the newspaper, as well as the Styles section.

The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story. I've never read an article that doesn't contain at least three or four spelling or grammatical errors. For instance, in last week's issue, you misspelled the word “secretary” used a singular verb with a plural noun, and used “it's” as a possessive(所有格). And that was just in the lead story! In case you never went to elementary school, “it's” means “it is”. It's not a possessive adjective!

It's a pity that this tiny little hick (乡下) town has only one newspaper, because I' d like to have an alternative to the rag (烂报) you publish. I find it hard to believe your news stories. If you can' t spell correctly, how can you get your facts right？

I've been meaning to get this off my chest for some time. Please cancel my subscription(订阅). And buy yourself a dictionary.

Sincerely,

Jane Z. Jones

1.Which phrase from the passage shows the writer' s prejudice(偏见)？

A. get this off my chest

B. tiny little hick town

C. reading the recipes in the magazine

D. three or four spelling or grammatical errors

2.The author's tone in this passage can best be described as ________.

A. happyB. humorousC. objective (客观的)D. angry

3.Which statement from the passage is a fact?

A. We still have the Times delivered on Sundays.

B. It's a pity this town has only one newspaper.

C. The Times is great, but the Gazette is another story.

D. You never went to elementary school.

4.Which statement of the following is NOT true according to the passage？

A. The writer once lived in New York City, so he was used to reading newspapers like The New York Times.

B. The entire family enjoys reading the Styles section in the local newspaper.

C. The writer has long been planning to express his dissatisfaction with the local newspaper.

D. It is obvious that the editors of the newspaper are not very careful about their work.

How to Develop Courage by Overcoming Daily Fears

Sometimes when thinking of courage, we think it only applies to rare and uncommon situations. Yet our ordinary lives can also be full of courage, even if we are not facing the end of a gun, a wild animal or a dangerous criminal. Courage doesn't just mean doing heroic acts. 1. In fact, where there is fear on a daily basis, there are opportunities for you to show your courage. Here are some suggestions to develop courage by overcoming daily fears.

● Recognizing your fears.

By realizing that you're fearful, you are more likely to get to the bottom of what your fear is. 2. You might come to understand that you're afraid of failing or taking chances. You may be fearful simply because you don't have confidence in yourself. The key is not to dwell on your fear, but rather to understand what it is what you're worried about.

● Ask yourself what is the worst that can happen.

If you hesitate to take action, ask yourself this: What's the worst that can happen? Then prepare to accept it. Then go on to improve on the worst. Is failure the worst thing that can happen? No, absolutely not. 3. Doing nothing is actually the worst thing that can happen. When you take no action, you are assured of getting nowhere.

● Take action.

Courage comes from taking action. 4. You need to act to overcome your fear. Your action may put you into discomfort, but you have to just do it. And your action can prevent you from being stuck.

●5.

To build up your confidence, you need to do the same thing over and over again. Soon you will discover that less courage is needed because you have already gained mastery. You are able to move decisively forward.

A. Share your fears with others.

B. Practice, practice and practice.

C. So you are already in a comfort zone.

D. You cannot think courage comes just in one day.

E. Each undesired result is just one more step towards your goal.

F. Finding out what is truly holding you back.

G. You needn't wait for an emergency to occur to develop courage.

Mr. Peter Johnson, aged twenty-three, battled for half an hour to escape from his trapped car yesterday when it landed upside down in three feet of water. Mr. Johnson took the only escape route—through the boot (车的行李箱).

Mr. Johnson’s car had finished up in a ditch (沟渠) at Romney Marsin，Kent，after skidding on ice and hitting a bank. “Fortunately，the water began to come in only slowly，” Mr. Johnson said. “I couldn’t force the doors because they were jammed against the walls of the ditch and dared not open the windows because I knew water would come flooding in.”

Mr. Johnson, a sweet salesman of Sitting Home, Kent, first tried to attract the attention of other motorists by sounding the horn (喇叭) and hammering（捶打） on the roof and boot. Then he began his struggle to escape.

Later he said, “It was really a half penny that saved my life. It was the only coin I had in my pocket and I used it to unscrew（松开螺丝） the back seat to get into the boot. I hammered desperately with a hammer trying to make someone hear, but no help came.”

It took ten minutes to unscrew the seat, and a further five minutes to clear the things from the boot. Then Mr. Johnson found a wrench（扳手） and began to work on the boot lock. Fifteen minutes passed by. “It was the only chance I had. Finally it gave, but as soon as I moved the boot lid, the water and mud poured in. I forced the lid down into the mud and scrambled (攀爬) clear as the car filled up.”

His hands and arms cut and bruised (擦伤), Mr. Johnson got to Beckett Farm nearby，where he was looked after by the farmer’s wife，Mrs. Lucy Bates. Huddled in a blanket，he said，“That thirty minutes seemed like hours.” “Only the tips （尖部）of the car wheels were visible，”police said last night. “The vehicle had sunk into two feet of mud at the bottom of the ditch.”

1.What is the best title for this newspaper article?

A．The Story of Mr. Johnson，a Sweet Salesman

B．Car Boot Can Serve As the Best Escape Route

C．Driver Escaped Through Car Boot

D．The Driver Survived a Terrible Car Accident

2.Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?

A．Mr. Johnson’s car stood on its boot as it fell down.

B．Mr. Johnson could not escape from the door because it was full of sweet jam.

C．Mr. Johnson’s car accident was partly due to the slippery road.

D．Mr. Johnson struggled in the pouring mud as he unscrewed the back seat.

3.The underlined part “Finally it gave” in Paragraph 5 means that “________”.

A．Luckily the door was torn away in the end

B．At last the wrench went broken

C．The chance was lost at the last minute

D．The lock came open after all his efforts

4.It may be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．the ditch was along a quiet country road

B．the accident happened on a clear warm day

C．the police helped Mr. Johnson get out of the ditch

D．Mr. Johnson had a tender wife and was well attended
