【题目】Sometimes, kindness is a simple answer in a difficult and challenging world.

When my granddaughter, Skylar, was young, one day we went out and had a contest called “Who can make the most people smile. “ And we continue it today. When shopping, we were walking in the supermarket and noticed someone walking down the aisle with her head down. Skylar walked up to her and gave her a big smile. I watched her walk down the aisle, turned around and smiled at Skylar again or perhaps smiled at someone else.

Kindness is a chain that pulls us all together. Every single act of kindness has a ripple effect(连锁反应). In 2002, my dad had a series of strokes and other illness. My dad had been doing nice things for all sorts of people for years, from the street crossing guard, to the waitress in a restaurant, to a friend’s mother. That same day, I made cookies for the janitor（门卫） at the post office. When I gave him the cookies he actually looked a little embarrassed. “Why, Linda?” he asked. “Because I appreciate you!” I answered. “When I get here at 6 am and it is still dark out and it is a little scary, I know you are inside and I feel safe. And when I first moved here and my post office box was always empty, you always cheered me on. And you always keep this place clean.”

That evening his wife called me and said that he was overwhelmed(受宠若惊的). “No one even knows his name, let alone bakes him cookies!” she said. （278 words）

【1】What was the author’s attitude to the contest in the supermarket?

A. positive B. negative

C. neutral D. curious

【答案】

【1】A

【2】D

【3】A

【解析】

试题分析：作者告诉我们在这个世界上，善良是很多问题的解决方法。并列举了两个事例，以此告诉我们善良是可以被传递下去的。

【1】A 推理题。根据文章第二段we were walking in the supermarket and noticed someone walking down the aisle with her head down.可知我们注意到一个人低头走路，情绪不高。Skylar walked up to her and gave her a big smile. I watched her walk down the aisle, turned around and smiled at Skylar again or perhaps smiled at someone else.可知我的孙女走了过去给对方一个笑脸，然后对方的情绪也好转了，对别人微笑。我很高兴，这说明作者对此持积极认可的态度。故A正确。

【2】D 推理题。根据文章第三段最后一句And when I first moved here and my post office box was always empty, you always cheered me on. And you always keep this place clean.”可知这位门卫经常帮助作者保持邮箱清洁，说明他很善良。再根据文章最后一段That evening his wife called me and said that he was overwhelmed(受宠若惊的).可知他妻子特地打电话过来表示感谢，也说明这位门卫有感恩之心。故D正确。

【3】A 主旨大意题。根据文章第一段Sometimes, kindness is a simple answer in a difficult and challenging world.作者告诉我们在这个世界上，善良可以解决很多问题。接着列举了我的孙女在超市里鼓励他人以及作者对门卫表示感谢两个事例，以此告诉我们善良是可以被传递下去的。故A正确。

Worry problems are everywhere in our daily life. How to solve them? The answer is that we must equip ourselves to deal with different kinds of worries by learning the three basic steps of problem analysis. The three steps are:

Get the facts

Why is it so important to get the facts? Unless you have the facts, you can’t possibly attempt to solve your problem intelligently. Without the facts, all you can do is wondering around in confusion. It is not an easy job to get facts. When you are worried, your emotions are riding high. 【1】 .

When trying to get the facts, you can pretend that you are collecting this information not for yourself but for some other person. _【2】. You can also pretend that you are a lawyer preparing to agree. Try to get all the facts both on your side and the other side of the case. You will generally find the truth lies somewhere in between.

【3】

Whenever you are worried, write down the questions that make you worry. And write out all the various steps you could take and then the probable consequences of each step. For example, what am I worrying about? What can I do about it? Here is what I’m going to do about it. After carefully weighing all the facts, you can calmly come to a decision.

Act on that decision.

【4】 . How can you break the worry habit before it breaks you? Crowd worry out of your mind by keeping busy. Plenty of action one of the best ways to cure worry 【5】. If you know a situation is beyond your power, say to yourself: “ It is so; it can’t be otherwise.” Don’t permit little things to ruin your happiness. Try to cultivate a mental attitude that will bring you peace and happiness.

A. Analyze the facts.

B. Accept what can’t be avoided.

C. But here are two ideas that can help you see the facts in a clear and objective way.

D. There comes a time when you must decide and never look back.

E. Unless you take your action, all your face-finding and analysis is a sheer waste of energy.

F. Decide how much anxiety a thing may be worth.

G. This will help you to take a cold and fair view of the evidence

【题目】When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, did not give her good service, pretended not to understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.

My mother has realized the limitations of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was her. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人). I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan...” And my mother was standing beside me,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me check already two weeks ago？”And then, in perfect English I said, “I’m getting rather concerned.You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”

Then she talked more loudly, “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately, I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”

The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.

When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped me shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

【1】Why was the author’s mother poorly served?

A. She was not very polite.

B. She was often misunderstood.

C. She was not clearly heard.

D. She was unable to speak good English.

【2】From paragraph 2, we know that the author was .

A. good at pretending

B. unwilling to phone for her mother

C. rude to the stockbroker

D. ready to help her mother

【3】After the author made the phone call, .

A. they failed to get the check

B. they went to New York immediately

C. they forgave the stockbroker

D. they spoke to their boss at once

【4】What does the author think of her mother’s English now?

A. It helps her understand the world.

B. It embarrasses her.

C. It helps her tolerate rude people.

D. It confuses her.
