题目内容

My father and I were very close. I loved pleasing him, and he was always proud of my success. If I won a spelling contest(竞赛) at school, he was on top of the world. Later in life whenever I got a promotion(提升), I'd call my father right away and he'd rush out to tell all his friends. In 1970,when I was named president of the Ford Motor Company, I don't know which of us was more excited.
Like many native Italians, my parents were very open with their feelings and their loves not only at home, but also in public. Most of my friends would never hug(拥抱) their fathers. But I hugged and kissed my dad at every opportunity for nothing could have felt more natural.
He was a curious man who was always trying new things. He was the first person in Allentown to buy a motorcycle. Unfortunately, my father and his motorcycle didn't get along too well. He fell off it so often that he got rid of it just a month after buying it. As a result, he never again trusted any vehicle with less than four wheels.
Because of that motorcycle, I wasn't allowed to have a bicycle when I was growing up. Whenever I wanted to ride a bike, I had to borrow one from a friend. On the other hand, my father let me drive a car as soon as I turned sixteen.

Paula Radcliffe, chasing (角逐) a third London marathon title (马拉松冠军), says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.”
“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”
She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I'm sure she would have contacted me.”
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”      Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
However, Radcliffe has not ruled out (排除) in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.
“I don't think that—although I can't put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”
Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.
Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.
Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.
小题1:Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her       .
A．develop respect for Liz.B．love people around her more.
C．rest for five months.D．face criticism calmly.
小题2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.
B．Radcliffe didn't fully recover before the New York City marathon.
C．Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.
D．Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.
小题3:By saying “I can't put a number on it,” Radcliffe means she’s not sure        .
A．if she has the ability to set a new world record.
B．if she can win another race though she has won many times.
C．how many times a marathon runner can set the world record.
D．if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times.
小题4:What can we learn from Radcliffe's story?
A．Practice makes perfect.B．Well begun is half done.
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed.D．Where there is a will there is a way.

Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had   22  myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 23  every time.

My disappointment had 28 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum  29  me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.   30  I left his office, I asked aloud,"  31 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director  32 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to  33  an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was  34 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   35    Saturday.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   36 , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it  37  from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles,   38 everywhere. I tried to use a broom, 39 with each sweep they just rolled across the kitchen．
For the next week, every time I was in the   40 , I found a pea---in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   41  . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and  42  12 frozen peas hidden underneath．
At the time I found those few remaining  43 , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  44  I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded  45  those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   46  had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had shattered. My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   47  his new surroundings and the 48  of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered．
When life gets you   49  , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never  50  , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be  51  , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   52 , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   53  you’ll start to feel whole again．
The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   54 , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,  55  will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

Have you ever had a day when everything seemed to go wrong, and nothing seemed to go right? Not too long ago I was having one of those days. I was discouraged, weary, and plain sad. My focus was on me. After all, no one else was experiencing the same trials I was.
I expressed my upset state to my mother, hoping for some pity. Instead, she said, “I heard Jamie was having a difficult day too. Why don’t you make her some cookies and take them to her this afternoon?”
I didn’t really want to, but decided that I didn’t want to go back to my other problems just yet. I made the cookies and arranged them on a little plate. Then I made a card with a sunflower on it and wrote a small note of empathy.
That afternoon I dropped by my friend’s house. I went to the door and rang the bell. Soon, Jamie came to the door and looked at me in surprise for the unexpected visit. Before she could say anything I rushed, “ I heard you were having a hard day and decided to bring you something. I hope your day goes better.” The look that came over Jamie’s face was one that I could never put into words. It was as if a darkened sky was suddenly lit with the golden rays of the sun; it was as if in that small act, her day was brightened.
I got back into the car and for some amazing reason; I felt a lot better myself. That day I experienced the truth that James Barri attempted to describe, “ Those who bring sunshine to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves.”

A young boy was sitting in the back seat of the car eating an apple. He asked his father, “Why does my apple turn brown?” his father answered, “When the skin is removed, air reaches the flesh of the apple and causes oxidation. This changes the apple’s molecular structure and results in a brownish color.” The boy asked, “ Daddy, what are you talking about?”
I know how that boy feels. Sometimes I want answers to some of those confusing questions that we all meet with, such as how to get through difficult times or what to do in a tough situation. I just want to get it right.
The problem is that I don’t always have the answer I need. Nobody else seems to have them, either. So I go on making mistakes and think that I’ll never get it right.
Often I didn’t know what to do. I often made poor choices, but I gradually improved. Then I realized that I don’t HAVE TO always get it right. I don’t have to always know what to do all the time. All I really need to do is try my best, learn from my mistakes and go on.
Dr. Leo Buscaglia once said, “ No one gets out of this world alive, so the time to live, learn, care, share, celebrate and love is now. That would be pretty hard to do when you’re waiting for all the answers first.”
So you got it wrong. You made a mistake. So what should you do next? Forgive yourself and try again. You may not get out of this world alive, but you can get plenty of life out of this world if you are not too worried about always getting it right.

B．We can search the answers when enjoying life itself.
C．People have many desires when they enter the world.

小题4: What can be concluded from the passage?
A．We should learn from our mistakes and try again.
B．We should try to learn and understand the answers to questions.

A firm handshake is key to interview success. As any serious job-hunter knows, it helps to dress smartly and smile at that all-important interview. But research has showed that a firm handshake is what really matters when it comes to impressing potential employers.
The US research looked at 98 undergraduates taking part in mock (模拟) interviews with businesses. As each undergraduate was graded on their overall performance, five "handshake raters" also marked them on their grasp, strength, duration, vigor and eye contact.
Professor Greg Stewart, from the University of Iowa, who led the study, said those who scored highly with the handshake raters were also considered to be the most hirable by the interviewers. Students with " wimpy" shakes were judged to be more timid and less impressive.
The study also found women with a firm handshake were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Professor Stewart said: "We've always heard that interviewers make up their mind about a person in the first two or three minutes of an interview. But we found that the first impression begins with a handshake that sets the tone for the rest of the interview. We don't consciously remember a person's handshake but it is one of the first non-verbal clues we get about the person's overall personality, and that impression is what we remember."
Women were less likely to have a highly rated handshake, partly because traditionally they shake hands less than men. But when women did possess a firm handshake, they were likely to be evaluated more favorably than their male counterparts.
Body language experts warn, however, that the firmness needs to be just right, - as an over enthusiastic "bone crusher" handshake can indicate self-importance, a controlling personality and a lack of trustworthiness.
The handshake is thought to have originated in medieval Europe as a way for kings and knights to show that they did not intend to harm each other and possessed no hidden weapons.
小题1:The passage is probably intended for ______.
A．job-hunters B．an undergraduate C．employers D．handshake raters
小题2:From the first paragraph we know that in an interview ______.
A．dressing smartly is more important than a firm handshake
B．smile has no effect on impressing potential employers
C．a firm handshake is more important than dressing smartly, and smile
D．dressing smartly, smile and a firm handshake are of the same importance
小题3:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A．The firmer your handshake is the better impression you leave.
B．The undergraduates without a firm handshake are thought to be less impressive.
C．Generally speaking, women shake hands less with others.
D．It's said that the handshake dates back to medieval Europe.
小题4:What is the main idea of the passage?
A．Women with a firm handshake were likely to leave a better impression than men.
B．A successful job interview starts with a firm handshake.
C．Dressing, smile and a firm handshake are all important to a successful job interview.
D．Job interview success depends on interviewees' body language.
She was dancing. My lame grandmother was dancing. I stood in the living room doorway, looking at her beautiful movements, absolutely shocked. She was the pet of the dancing world. And then she’d had her accident and it was all over. I had read that in an old newspaper article.
‘‘So… Your leg? I mean, how did your leg heal (恢复健全)?”
“To tell you the truth — my legs have been well all my life,” she sighed.
“But I don’t understand!” I said, “Your dancing career (事业)… You pretended all these years?”
‘‘Very much so, and for a very good reason.”
She thought for a while and then continued. “We were talking about engagement (订婚) when your grandfather had to go to war. I was so afraid of losing him that the only way I could stay normal was to dance. I put all my energy and time into practicing and I became very good. Critics praised me, the public loved me, but all I could feel was the ache in my heart, not knowing whether the love of my life would ever return. Then one day a letter came. There were only three sentences: ‘I have lost my leg. I am no longer a whole man and now give you back your freedom. It is best you forget about me.’’’
“I made my decision there and then. I traveled away from the city. When I returned I had bought myself a stick. I told everyone I had been in a car crash and that my leg would never completely heal again. My dancing days were over. No one doubted the story — I had learned to limp (一瘸一拐地走) convincingly before I returned home. And I made sure the first person to hear of my accident was a reporter I knew well. Then I traveled to the hospital. They had pushed your grandfather outside in his wheelchair. I took a deep breath, leaned on my stick and limped to him.”
“I showed him newspaper articles of my accident. ‘There is a whole life waiting for us out there! But I am not going to carry you. You are going to walk yourself.’”
“I limped a few steps toward him and showed him what I’d taken out of my pocket. ‘Now show me you are still a man.’ I said. He bent to take his stick from the ground and struggled out of that wheelchair. He managed it on his own and walked to me and never sat in a wheelchair again in his life.”
“What did you show him?” I had to know. Grandma looked at me and smiled. “Two engagement rings, of course. I had bought them the day after he left for the war and I was not going to waste them on any other man.”
小题1:What does the underlined word “it” in the first paragraph refer to?
A．Her accident.B．Her pet.C．Her leg. D．Her dancing career.
小题2:Which is the correct order of the following events according to the passage?
a. Grandfather lost his leg in the war.
b. Grandmother bought two engagement rings.
c. Grandfather was inspired to stand up on his own.
d. Grandmother pretended she was lame.
e. Grandmother became an excellent dancer.
f. Grandfather had to go to war.
A．e-f-b-a-d-cB．f-e-a-c-b-d
C．f-b-e-a-d-cD．e-b-f-a-c-d
小题3:Which of the following words can best describe grandmother?
A．Thoughtful and determined.B．Unselfish but stubborn.
C．Courageous but unreliable.D．Sensitive and dishonest.
小题4:What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．The love of a disabled couple.B．The grandmother’s unconditional love.
C．The meaning of an engagement.D．The grandfather’s brave story.
