试题分析：本文主要讲述了一个寓言故事，讲的是国王Midas过去很喜欢金子，有一天，他遇到一个仙女，仙女允许她许一个心愿，国王说自己喜欢金子，希望所接触到的任何东西都变成金子。到了第二天，国王实现了愿望，所有他接触的所有东西，都变成了金子，国王很高兴自己成为这个世界上最富有的人。然而，渐渐地却出现了问题，食物和水都变成了金子，国王又饿又渴，他的女儿也变成了黄金塑像。这时仙女出现了，国王祈求仙女把神力带走，仙女告诉国王这是一个教训，然后叫国王去河边洗澡，国王赶紧洗掉了神力。

【1】理解题。由全文可知，国王在实现自己的愿望，拥有神力，让所有接触到的神力都转变为金子之后，并不开心，因为生活出现混乱，所以拥有金子并不是最好的，而这对于国王来说是一个教训，因此，仙女是想让国王学习一个教训。故选C。

【2】理解题。当所有的食物和水都变成金子的时候，国王又饿又渴，所以国王有点担心。故选C。

【3】细节题。由第四自然段she asked, putting her arms around him. There and then she became a golden statue.意思是：她问道，把胳膊放在他身上。之后她变成了一个黄金塑像。故选C。

【4】推断题。由倒数第二自然段的最后一句Go and wash in the river. Then the golden touch will be gone.”意思是：去河里洗澡。然后黄金接触就会消失的。由此可知当国王去河里洗完之后，他的女儿就会变回原来的样子，而国王之间接触的东西也都会变回原样。故选D。

【5】主旨推断题。文章通过这个寓言故事，讲述了一个道理，仅仅拥有金钱也不会让人开心，因此告诉人们，金钱不是会让生活开心的东西。故选C。

【题目】My wife Julie and I were out on the road that runs around where we live, when we saw an old worn-out dog stumbling (蹒跚) painfully up the road. We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.

The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home.

After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.

Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely.

I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.

下面是几则寓言小故事：

【1】 An ant went to the bank of a river to quench its thirst, and being carried away by the rush of the stream, was on the point of drowning. A dove sitting on a tree overhanging the water plucked a leaf and let it fall into the stream close to her. The ant climbed onto it and floated in safety to the bank. Shortly afterwards a bird catcher came and stood under the tree, aiming at the dove. The ant, perceiving his design, stung him in the foot. In pain the bird catcher shouted, and the noise made the dove take wing.

【2】Two men were travelling together, when a bear suddenly met them on their path. One of them climbed up quickly into a tree and hid himself in the branches. The other, seeing that he must be attacked, fell flat on the ground, and when the bear came up and felt him with his snout, and smelt him all over, he held his breath, and pretended to be dead as much as he could. The bear soon left him, for he will not touch a dead body. When he disappeared, the other traveler descended from the tree, and asked his friend what it was the bear had whispered in his ear. ―He gave me this advice, his companion replied. ―Never travel with a friend who deserts you at the approach of danger.

【3】 A prince had some monkeys trained to dance. Being naturally good at learning, they showed themselves excellent pupils, and in their rich clothes and masks, they danced as well as any of the courtiers. Their performance was often repeated with great applause, till on one occasion a courtier, bent on mischief, took from his pocket a handful of nuts and threw them upon the stage. The monkeys at the sight of the nuts forgot their dancing and became (as indeed they were) monkeys instead of actors. Pulling off their masks and tearing their robes, they fought with one another for the nuts. The dancing spectacle thus came to an end in the laughter and ridicule of the audience.

【4】 A cock was once strutting up and down the farmyard among the hens when suddenly he noticed something shining in the straw. "Ho! Ho!" said he, "that’s for me," and soon rooted it out from beneath the straw. It turned out to be a pearl that by some chance had been lost in the yard. ―You may be a treasure, signed the cock, ―to man, but for me I would rather have a single barley-corn.

【5】 An old man on the point of death summoned his sons around him to give them some parting advice. He ordered his servants to bring in a bunch of sticks, and said to his eldest son: "Break it." The son tried hard, but with all his efforts was unable to break the bundle. The other sons also tried, but none of them was successful. ―Untie it, said the father, ―and each of you take a stick. When they had done so, he called out to them: ―Now, break, and each stick was easily broken.

【题目】Friendship with oneself is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

We often focus on building relationships with others that we forget the essential first step: being friends of ourselves. That is the crucial first step if we are to have good relationships with others. How can we have good relationships with others if we don’t even have good relationship with ourselves?

Here are some tips:

1. Forgive yourself

You may have made those mistakes in the past, but is there anything you can do about them? I don’t think so, except learning from them. It’s true that you are not perfect, but neither is everybody else. It’s normal to make mistakes, so do yourself a favor by giving yourself forgiveness.

2. Focus on your strengths

Instead of focusing on your weaknesses, focus on your strengths. You always have some strengths which give you a unique combination nobody else have. Recognize your strengths and build your life around them.

3. Stop comparing yourself with others

You are unique. You can never be like other people, and neither can other people be like you. The way you measure your success is not determined by other people and what they achieve. Instead, it is determined by your own life purpose. You have everything you need to achieve your life purpose, so it’s useless to compare yourself with others.

【题目】下面文章中有4个段落需要添加小标题，文章需要添加总标题。请从以下选项（A、B、C、 D、E和F）中选出符合意思的标题，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。

【1】________________

Whatever you focus on, you tend to get more of. Many people spend time thinking about what they don’t want, but horrible stuff keeps showing up in their lives. If you pay attention to what you do want instead, you’ll end up becoming more aware of avenues to getting it.

【2】_______________

Luck doesn’t just happen upon us--it comes to us when we’re open. Trying something new is a great way of getting more opportunities. Learning a new skill, visiting a new place, or trying a new hobby are all great ways of expanding your opportunities and your mindset.

【3】_______________

Some people are already lucky, and they just don’t know it. Instead of focusing on what’s lacking, look at how lucky you already are. You no doubt have some wonderful friends, family, a roof over your head and food on the table. By acknowledging these things regularly, you can instantly feel more lucky.

【4】_______________

People who view the future as threatening, dangerous or uncertain are unlikely to draw any luck to them. Having a negative view of what is to come makes you likely to be mentally and emotionally withdrawn into a place where you won’t even see any lucky opportunities. Be positive and excited about what the future may hold, and you should find many lucky opportunities on the horizon.

【5】________________

You’ll never create any luck if you sit there waiting for it to fall into your lap. Take steps towards your goals and dreams and greet every challenge with a positive mindset. You will find you create more luck in everyday life.

A. focus on what you really want

B. pay attention to what you have

C. try something new

D. take action

E. luck is not difficult to get
