题目内容

Life gets noisier every day and very few people can be free from noise of some sort or another. It doesn't matter where you live--in the middle of a modern city, or a faraway village--the chances are that you' ll be disturbed by jet planes, radios, oil - powered engines, etc. We seem to be getting used to noise, too. Some people feel quite lonely without background music while they' re working.

Scientific tests have shown that total silence can be a very frightening experience for a human being. However, some people enjoy listening to pop music which is very loud, and this can do harm to their eardrums(耳鼓). The noise level in some discos is far above the usual safety level for heavy industrial areas.

One recent report about noise and concentration(专心) suggested that although a lot of people say that any noise disturbs their concentration, what really influences their ability to concentrate is a change in the level of noise. It goes on to say that a background noise which doesn't change too much(music, for example) may even help people to concentrate.

1.According to this passage, the noise pollution         .

 A. has become the worst in the countryside     B. has become better in big cities

 C. has spread from cities to villages         D. has been controlled in modern cities

2.Some people have their hearing harmed        .

 A. while listening to pop music            B. in complete silence

 C. when speaking loudly                   D. while watching TV

3.Scientists have discovered that what prevents people from concentrating on something is        .

A. all kinds of noise                       B. changes in the level of noise

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   16 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   17  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   18  everywhere. I tried to use a broom,   19  with each swipe they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the   20 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   21 . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   22  12 frozen peas hidden underneath.

At the time I found those few remaining   23 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful   24  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded 25  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   26  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered(破碎. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   27  his new surroundings and the  28  of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.

When life gets you   29 , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never  30 , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  31 , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   32 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   33  you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   34 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,  35  will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were           41    to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “   42  hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a   43  word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.

My parents always   44   me to go to college. However, when I    45  at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they    46   stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to.   47  , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently   48  the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the   49  a better place to live in.

Every time I call home to tell them about a   50  I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever    51  it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how   52  of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly   53  to have my parents.

Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of    54  . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful    55   that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced(扎洞).But somehow, we   56 to work through those issues. They never   57  loving in me or believing in me.

I   58 everything I am to my parents. Without their   59 love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always   60  for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.
