题目内容

A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration. All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a piece of advice, “I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered. “Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together.”
The husband agreed. So each of them tried to think of the things that annoyed them about the other and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.
“I’ll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband’s eyes because he never thought that he had so many shortcomings.
The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. “Now, you read your list and then we’ll talk about the things on both of our lists,” she said happily.
Quietly the husband stated, “I don’t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect. I don’t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful and I wouldn’t want to try and change anything about you.” The wife, touched by his honesty and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We don’t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when we can look around us and see the wonderful things before us?
小题1:Why were there tears in the husband’s eyes when the wife read his annoyances?
A.Because he had no courage to face his shortcomings.
B.Because he never thought he had so many annoyances in his wife’s eyes.
C.Because he was sorry that he didn’t find any annoyance about his wife.
D.Because he didn’t think he deserved to have such a perfect wife.
小题2:After hearing the husband’s words, the wife felt _________.     .
A.moved and ashamedB.sad and disappointed
C.satisfied and proudD.surprised and confused
小题3:The story is intended to tell us that ___________.     .
A.disappointment cannot be avoided in our life
B.young couples should be more tolerant (宽容的) to each other
C.we should turn a blind eye to other people’s blame

The riches in the world are not found in the famous gold and diamond mines,where many men and women are digging for them.Most riches in the world are found in the cemeteries(墓地)and grave yards,buried with people’s dreams,aspirations,and unfulfilled potential.Why is it so?
Countless men and women died without ever having the courage to follow their own paths.Maybe because they were afraid to violate some kinds of social norms, maybe because they were afraid to be alone,or maybe simply because they preferred to settle for the familiar.They went to the graves,with a song that would never be heard,a piece of poetry never be written, a dance step never be initiated and a heart full of dreams and aspirations,leaving behind a life full of potential yet no legacy.
Michael Jordan,one of the greatest athletes once said,‘‘I can fail,but I cannot afford not to try.” Life remains a beautiful journey if we learn to take that step and to work that path.Every challenge and defeat in the process becomes a light post that sharpens the vision and shapes the direction forward.
“In my world nothing goes wrong,”said the great Indian sage Nmaja Dhahta Majraj.We must learn to trust the greatness within all of us and know that each of as is here to bring our unique contribution to the universal monument.If each of us learns to dance to the music we only can hear, society as a whole will evolve naturally and spiritually toward love,peace and happiness,and will be void of jealousy,envy and discrimination.
And Henry David Thoreau would say, “If a man does not keep pace with his companions,that is because he hears a difierent drum.’’And one truly believes that the path to success and happiness passes through the dancing to such a unique drumbeat.Therefore,do not die with the music still playing inside you.
小题1:What’s the author’s opinion on riches?
A.They are people’s dreams and aspirations.
B.They are the most important things in the world.
C.They are something we can’t possess and dream of.
D.They are gold and diamonds which we can dig for in mines.
小题2:According to Paragraph 2,which one is NOT the reason why so many people died without sticking to their own paths?
A.They were afraid to break the traditional norms.
B.They were used to what they were already familiar with.
C.They were afraid to hurt others and snffer setbacks.
D.They were afraid to be alone when making the dreams come true.
小题3:What does Michael Jordan mean by saying “I can fail, but I cannot afrord not to try”?
A.Having a try is an easy thing we can do.
B.Trying something new will bring us benefits.
C.We should be careful if we want to have a try.
D.All people are not brave enough to experience something new.

People say, you can not change the environment, but can change their own; you can not change the facts, but can change attitudes; you can not change the past, but can be changed now; you can not control other people, but can be masters of our own; you can not do everything well, but can be conscientious in everything; you can not about the weather, but you can change the mood; you can not choose looks, but it can show a smile.
Indeed, one key to the success lies in his (her) mind. The difference between successful people and the losers are: winners will be setbacks and difficulties due to personal ability, experience, imperfect, to emphasize the inherent, they are willing to continuously improve and develop the right direction; and the losers will blame on the opportunity, and the environment injustice, emphasizing external and uncontrollable factors that created the position of their life, they always complain, wait and give up!
In many cases, is a humble person who is looked down upon his own. Person's appearance, his family, and so a priori condition that can not be changed, but at least inner state, the spirit of the will is entirely their own control. Mentality, the final decision of life high. There is no absolute bad thing, only the mentality of the absolute poor people. If even the state of mind will not adjust, how they deal with things more complicated than the mentality of it!
No matter what the situation, a person's attitude is very important. Passion put to work, and numbness sluggish to work completely different. Emerson said: "A move toward their goals is always people who gave him the whole world to give way." On the contrary, failure is not because we do not have the strength, but because we are susceptible to all around us, used to go along with the lack of assertive, attitude unstable, easily frustrated reason.
As long as we believe that the strength of mind, change their attitude and courage to face a number of disappointments in life, do not despair, brave go on. I believe the power of mind, mind you're in the height of the final decision.

My son Tom taught me a beautiful lesson today. He is three years old and it is amazing watching him grow up.
He called out to me today saying, “Papa, sit”. That usually means        everything and going next to him and sitting down to play with him. I did that, as he can be        and will not stop calling out until I        . He was playing with beads (珠子), pushing a string through them, which is a great exercise to help        fine motor skills. Then, after he finished playing with the beads, it was time to put them back in the box that they are stored in. I saw him        pick up each bead, look at it        it were made of chocolate and then placed it into its box.
With over a hundred beads to go, I was getting        . “What a long time it will take! Why cannot he         ten beads in one go and drop them in?” said my anxious mind. I noticed that he did this with as much        as he had while we were playing. I didn’t see any        between his play and his putting away the toy. Obviously he enjoyed both.
Then it suddenly        me that this boy was enjoying the whole        . The journey was his goal. For him the        was in the game and after the game, not just in the fun part. What a great perspective: to live each moment as it is the        moment; to do each task as it is the most awesome task. Nothing else       .
Looking at how        my son was putting beads into the box        me that the process was the goal. The joy of pilgrimage (朝圣) is not in getting there but in every        of the journey.
This is what living in the NOW is all        . Tom, my son, was showing me that it was about thoroughly enjoying every moment with        love and peace.

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk,the way they smile,the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confidence American students,I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor.As a student,being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What’s worse,the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.
Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches.(The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking).Modesty is a trait highly valued in China,but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.
小题1:To compete with American students it’s very important to    .
A.be quite confident
B.be polite and friendly
C.have more discussions with them
D.understand what they think about
小题2:A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who            .
A.gives a silly or simple answer
B.tries to seize any chance to speak in class
C.shows no interest in the course
D.is considered to have no opinion of his own
小题3:The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if         
A.he asks a student to repeat what he has said
B.the students bargain with him
C.he pretends to know what he doesn’t
D.he has to give a speech
小题4:We learn from the second paragraph that      .
A.we should also remain modest in America
B.modesty doesn’t help you much in America
C.Americans also like modest people
D.modesty can help you through an American graduate program
小题5:The passage is mainly developed by       
A.providing examples
B.making comparisons
C.giving different figures
D.telling personal experiences
It was Thanksgiving morning. I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling together on the top step.
“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them.
I was busy. I wanted to say “no” until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals (凉鞋), wet with heavy snow.
“Come in and I’ll make you a cup of hot cocoa.”
They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I saved them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking.
The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, “Lady, are you rich?”
“Am I rich? Pity, no!”
I looked at my worn-out slipcovers (椅套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶碟)carefully and said, “Your cups match your saucers.” They left after that, holding their papers against the wind. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful.
Plain blue china cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched.
I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a regular job, these matched, too.
I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.
小题1:The writer let the two children come in and served them well because ______.
A.she wanted to sell old papers to them
B.she wanted to give them some presents
C.she showed great pity and care on them
D.she wanted to show her thanks to them
小题2:The writer left the muddy marks of little sandals on the floor for a while to _______.
A.show that she was a kind-hearted lady
B.remind her she shouldn’t forget how rich she was
C.leave room for readers to think about what being rich is
D.call up her memories of the good old days
小题3:It can be inferred from the text that whether you are rich depends on _______.
A.how much money you have made
B.what attitude you have had toward life
C.the way you help others
D.your social relationship
One morning, teachers arrived to find the little country schoolhouse swallowed in flames. They dragged an unconscious little boy, who went to start the fire in the old-fashioned coal stove to heat, out of the flaming building more dead than alive. He had major burns over the lower half of his body and was taken to a nearby county hospital.
From his bed the dreadfully burned, semi-conscious little boy faintly heard the doctor talking to his mother. The doctor told his mother that her son would surely die — which was for the best, really — for the terrible fire had ruined the lower half of his body.
But the brave boy didn’t want to die. He made up his mind that he would survive. Somehow, to the amazement of the physician, he did survive. When the deadly danger was past, he again heard the doctor and his mother speaking quietly. The mother was told that since the fire had destroyed so much flesh in the    lower part of his body, it would almost    be better if he had died, since he was doomed to be in a wheelchair all lifetime with no use at all of his lower limbs (肢体).
Once more the brave boy made up his mind. He would not be a disabled man. He would walk. But unfortunately from the waist   down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just hung there, all but lifeless.
Ultimately he was released from the hospital. Every day his mother would massage his little legs, but there was no feeling, no control, nothing. Yet his determination that he would walk was as strong as ever.
When he wasn’t in bed, he was confined to a wheelchair. One sunny day his mother wheeled him out into the yard to get some fresh air. This day, instead of sitting there, he threw himself from the chair. He pulled himself across the grass, dragging his legs behind him.
He worked his way to the white fence bordering their lot. With great effort, he raised himself up on the fence. Then he began dragging himself along the fence,resolved that he would walk. He started to do this every day until he wore a smooth path all around the yard beside the fence. There was nothing he wanted   more than to develop life in those legs.
Ultimately through his  daily massages, his    iron   persistence and    his resolute determination, he did develop the ability to stand up, then to walk slowly, then to walk  by himself — and then to run.
He began to walk    to school, then to run  to school, to run for the pure joy of running. Later in college he made the track team.
Still later in  Madison Square Garden this young man, the great athlete, Dr. Glenn Cunningham, ran the world’s fastest mile!

B.Glenn decided to survive though his lower part of body had lost the sense of feeling.
C.Glenn struggled to stand up by dragging along the fence and other supportable matters.

I stood up and walked _______the tables.

I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I raised my head, and saw nobody showed any interest.
      , I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more interested in having a relationship with the      , particularly Steve. I wouldn’t want to         the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines         with people.
