题目内容

A group of frogs were traveling through the woods, and two of them fell into a deep pit. All the other frogs      the pit. When they saw how      the pit was, they told the two frogs that they might as well be    .
The two frogs ignored what       were saying and      to jump up out of the pit with all of their physical strength. The other frogs       telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs       the comments, seriously considered them, and gave up. He       down and died.
The other frog continued to jump as     as he could. Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the       and just die. He jumped even harder and finally      it out. When he got out, the other frogs said, “Did you not       us?” The frog explained to them that he was       . He thought they were       him the whole time.
This story teaches two lessons: First, there is power of life and death in the       . An encouraging word to someone who is        can lift them up and help them make it through the day. Second,a destructive word to someone who is down can be       it takes to kill them. Be      of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path.
The        of words is great. It is sometimes hard to understand       an encouraging word can go such a long way. Anyone can speak words that tend to rob another of the spirit to continue in difficult times.

My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau（衣橱）and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago .She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now . I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, and every breath truly, is…a gift from God.
小题1:What’s the best title for the passage?
A．Every day is a gift

A．She wanted to wear it on special occasions
B．She kept it as a special gift for someone else
C．She saved it until she grew older
D．She wanted to keep it as a sweet memory
小题3:Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?
A．Spending more time staying with family every day.
B．Attending social activities as often as possible
C．Enjoying life and valuing every day.
D．Trying to get along well with friends

He explained that each of them had      the same adversity(逆境), boiling water, but each reacted     . The carrot went in strong and hard but then it turned softened and weak. The egg had been fragile(易碎的), but at last its inside became     . The ground coffee beans were unique, however, after they were in the boiling water, they had      the water.

One day when I was driving on the freeway, I noticed all the way there were large dividing walls, which had been built between it and the road running parallel to it, for noise reduction (减少) and a sense of separation. The purpose was to create a sense of privacy (隐私) for people on the other side.
This got me thinking: How often do we put up mental barriers that keep us distant from others? Lifting the artificial barriers that keep us apart can offer opportunities to express our goodwill and create better relationships. If we can do like this, maybe our life will be a little different.
There is a little post office in a nearby town, and since it is closer to me than the post office in my own town, I go there. One day, with many people jammed into the little building, a man came hurrying in to mail a letter, and the girl at the counter saw he had too little postage on it. She told him he needed 2 more cents. Obviously he was a little at a loss. He had hurried over from his office, and didn’t have any money on him or time to stand in line. He was going to run back to get the needed money and wait in line again, but he hurried to get the letter mailed in the first place.
As we were watching him, one woman volunteered a two-cent stamp, and the whole line became very quiet. It was a beautiful moment. The man hesitated for a little while and asked her if she was sure, and she assured him she was fine with giving him the stamp. He offered to go back to his office to get the two cents, and she told him not to bother.
It was a small thing, but it meant something to both of the people involved, and to the rest of us. We aren’t a yard that needs defining or a freeway that needs barriers. We are human beings who can contribute to each other’s wellbeing by taking time to pay attention and interact. After all, we are all parts of a whole living in society.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to __________.
A．summarize the main idea
B．give detailed information
C．tell readers the author’s opinion
D．introduce the topic
小题2:What happened after the man being told he needed two more cents?
A．The man went back to his office immediately.
B．The man turned to a lady for help.
C．A woman offered a stamp to the man.
D．The man waited in line patiently.
小题3:What can we learn about the author?
A．She pays too much attention to privacy.
B．She believes people should participate in the world around them.
C．She confuses real barriers with false ones.
D．She insists all small things always have the greatest meaning.
小题4:Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Artificial BarriersB．Unnecessary Separation
C．An Unforgettable Experience D．The Kindness of People
In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yourself and to ever be   46  with who you are. There’s always someone who’s a bit   47 . The only solution is to reach   48  and measure against what Warren Buffett calls your own inner yardstick. There is no more   49  measure for comparison than who your were yesterday, last week or last decade, when you were at your   50 .
Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others. Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get   51 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for   52 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly   53 . The only direct and honest comparison is   54  yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only   55  to compare yourself to someone else if their life  56  is the same as your own. Good luck finding that   57 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦干的）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can   58  someone is coming up fast   59  you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best   60 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to   61  you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who  62  if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of   63 . You are a more  64  person today than you were yesterday. Your own   65  is all you need.

As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart．We always had totally different  opinions．He thought that college was a waste of time，but for me it was important to finish college．He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field，but l wanted a different life．There was a time when we did not talk with each other．
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health．When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him，I knew he was seriously ill．I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement．
Two weeks after moving back，we bought a boat and started fishing again．Fishing was one of the few things that we did while l was young and that we both enjoyed．It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us．We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before．Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart．
It is not important how many fish we catch．It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years．I’m 62 and he is 84．When we are on the lake fishing，it is like two kids enjoying life．It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind．I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years．Now my heart is filled with love．A smile always graces my lips．
