题目内容

Attitude is an internal(内在的) state that influences the choices of personal

action made by the individual(个人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come

from differences between beliefs and ideas; others believe that attitudes come from

emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is,

upon the choices of action made by the individual.

The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by

attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed

limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or

her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(获得)

throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the

school.

Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be

largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong

attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in

sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks

no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of

time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is

what is meant by an attitude.

Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single events, as

when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the

sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of

success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing

crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them. And frequently, they are

learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave

toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these

differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of

attitudes.

(1)According to the passage, attitudes .

A. come from different situations in one’s life

B. are largely affected by one’s behavior

C. remain unchanged in one’s daily life

D. could be chosen according to one’s will

73.The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show .

A. people often make mistakes when they are not noticed

B. people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds

C. particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action

D. an individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily

A. Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.

B. Attitudes learned in danger will last no more.

C. Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.

D. Attitudes can be learned from one’s parents.

Honestly, since my son was born, I have thought a lot about how to raise a child. I once heard a story that told about when a baby was born. The story said that when a baby was born, a new master was born. The parents of that baby would become the servants. The question is: Why? Based on my observation, this phenomenon is true. Most parents who don't pay much attention to their kids have difficulties with their kids' attitude.

I'll make a comparison of how two families raise their children. The first one is a family with three children. Both mother and father never say "No" to their children's demands. As a result, all of their children became stubborn and won't listen to their parents’ words, "We can't."

The second family educated their children strictly from one year old to high school. The parents never approved or agreed directly to give their children what they wanted. They always postponed one or two days, even if they could afford it. Due to the way their parents educated them, these children understood that if they wanted something, they had to wait or they had to make an effort first. As a result, all the kids from the second family successfully graduated from university on time.

In my opinion, if we want to be successful parents and raise our children well, we have to start disciplining them when they are toddlers but not wait until they become teenagers.

Why did the writer give two different stories in this passage?

A. To help prove his opinion about raising a child.

B. To list different ways that parents may take.

C. To criticize some parents’ foolish action.

D. To prove that his way of education is right.

What does the underlined word “postponed” in the third paragraph mean?

A. Carried out at once. B. Gave up.

C. Put off. D. Made a decision.

In the writer’s opinion, which of the following about raising a child is TRUE?

A. Children should be respected once they were born.

B. Parents should educate their children as early as possible.

C. It is right time to educate their children when they are teenagers.

D. Children should be helped whenever they make mistakes.

What do you think is the best title of this passage?

A. Make a comparison of how two families raise their children

B. To be successful parents

C. How to raise children well

D. Educate children strictly from one year old to high school

There’s a man in the habit of hitting me on the head with an umbrella. At first I couldn’t stand it, now I’m used to it.

I don’t know his name. I know he’s average in appearance, wears a gray suit, and has a common face. I met him five years ago one hot morning when I was sitting on a tree-shaded bench in Palermo Park, reading the paper. Suddenly I felt something touch my head. It was the very same man who now, as I’m writing, keeps hitting me, mechanically (机械地) and impassively, with an umbrella.

On that occasion I turned around filled with anger. He just kept on hitting me. I asked him if he was crazy, he didn’t even seem to hear me. Then I threatened to call a policeman. Calmly, cool as a cucumber, he stuck with his task. After a few moments of hesitation, and seeing that he was not about to change his attitude, I stood up and hit him on the nose. The man fell down, but he immediately got back on his feet, obviously with great effort, and without a word again began hitting me on the head with the umbrella. His nose was bleeding and, at that moment, I felt sorry for him. I felt regret for having hit him so hard. After all, the man wasn’t exactly hitting me; he was merely tapping me lightly with his umbrella, not causing any pain at all. Of course, those taps were extremely bothersome. As we all know, when a fly lands on your forehead, you don’t feel any pain; what you feel is annoyance. Well then, that umbrella was one huge fly that kept landing on my head time after time.

Convinced that I was dealing with a madman, I tried to escape. But the man followed me, wordlessly continuing to hit me. So I began to run (I should point out that not many people run as fast as I do). He took off after me, trying to land a blow. The man was out of breath so that I thought, if I continued to force him to run at that speed, he would drop dead right then and there.

When the man began to strike the author with an umbrella, the author ________.

A. became angry

B. called the police

C. turned around and escaped

D. turned around and fought back

The author would most probably agree that the man was ________.

A. deaf B. blind C. dead D. mad

The author felt sorry for the man because ________.

A. the man formed a bad habit of beating others

B. he hit the man so hard that his nose bled

C. the man couldn’t catch up with him

D. there was a fly on the man’s head

It can be learned from the passage that the man ________.

A. shouted loudly while hitting the author

B. wanted to tell the author something

C. ran after the author breathlessly

D. acted as if he were a fly

“Sending thank-you notes is becoming a lost art,” mourns May Mitchell, a syndicated columnist known as “Ms Demeanor” and author of six etiquette(礼节) books. In her view, each generation, compared with the one before, is losing a sense of consideration for other people. “Without respect,” she says, “you have conflict.”
Ms. Demeanor would be proud of me: I have figured out a way to ensure that my children always send thank-you notes. And such a gesture is important, says Ms. Demeanor, because “a grateful attitude is a tremendous life skill, an efficient and inexpensive way to set ourselves apart in the work force and in our adult lives. Teach your children that the habit of manners comes from inside---it’s an attitude based on respecting other people.”
A few years ago, as my children descended like piranhas (一种南美淡水鱼，喜吞食或攻击) on their presents under the Christmas tree, the only attitude I could see was greed. Where was the appreciation of time and effort?
A thank-you note should contain three things: an acknowledgement of the gift (Love the tie with the picture of a hose on it); a recognition of the time and effort spent to select it (You must have shopped all over the state find such a unique item!); a prediction of how you will use your gift or the way it has enhanced your life (I’ll be sure to wear it to the next Mr. Ed convention!).
So, five years ago, in one of my rare flashes of parental insight, I decided that the most appropriate time to teach this basic courtesy is while the tinsel (装饰用光亮金属) is hot. To the horror of my children, I announced that henceforth every gift received will be an occasion for a thank-you note written immediately, on the spot.
I have reluctantly given my kids the green light to send e-mail thank-you notes; though hand-lettered ones (at least to me) still seem friendlier. But pretty much any thank-you makes the gift giver feel special—just as, we hope, the recipient feels. It’s a gesture that perfectly captures the spirit of the holidays.
41. 【小题1】in Ms. Demeanor’s point of view, children born in the ______ is probably the least respectful generation.

42. 【小题2】 The phrase “set oneself apart” (Para. 2) means _______.

A．to reserve to a particular use	B．to put to one side
C．to make noticeable or outstanding	D．to determine to purse

43. 【小题3】According to the passage, a thank-you note may contain the following information EXCEPT “_______”.

A．I love the pearl necklace you bought me for my birthday
B．it must have taken you a long time to find just the right thing for me
C．is it very expensive	D．I promise I will wear it on my wedding day

44. 【小题4】How did the author feel when she saw her children searching under the Christmas tree for their presents?

45. 【小题5】Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about the author?

A．She feels hand-written letters are friendlier than word-processed ones.

B．She does not allow her children to sent email thank-you note.

C．She thinks the best time to teach her children the basic etiquette of
appreciation is to strike while the iron is still not.

D．She thinks a thank-you note can make the gift giver feel special just as the

recipient does.

The other day my aunt paid me a visit. She was overjoyed. “I got the highest mark in the mid-term examination!” She said. Don’t be surprised! My aunt is indeed a student, exactly, a college student at the age of 45.
“Compared with the late 70s,” she says, “now college students have many doors.” I was shocked when she first told me how she had had no choice in her major. Look at us today! So many doors are open to us! I believe there have never been such abundant opportunities for self-development as we have today. And my aunt told me that we should reach our goals by grasping all these opportunities.
The first door is the opportunity to study different subjects that interest us. My aunt was happy to study management, but she could also attend lectures on ancient Chinese poetry and on Shakespearean drama. As for myself, I am an English major, but I may also go to lectures on history.
The second door is the door to the outside world. Learning goes beyond classrooms and national boundaries. I have many fellow international classmates, and I am applying to an exchange program with a university abroad. As for my aunt, she is planning to get an MBA degree in the U.K.
The third door is the door to life-long learning. Many of my aunt’s contemporaries say she’s amazingly up-to-date for a middle-aged woman. She simply responds, “Age doesn’t matter. What matters is your attitude. I don’t think I’m too old to learn.” Yes, she is right. Since the government removed the age limit for college admissions, there are already some untraditional students, sitting with us in the same classrooms. Like them, my aunt is old but young in spirit with incredible energy and determination.
The doors open to us also pose challenges. For instance, we are faced with the challenge of a balanced learning, the challenge of preserving our fine tradition while learning from the West, and the challenge of learning continuously while carrying heavy responsibilities to our work and family. So, each door is a test of our courage, ability and judgment, but with the support of my teachers, parents, friends and my aunt, I believe I can meet the challenge head on.
【小题1】Which of the following words can best replace the “door” in the passage?

【小题2】What made the writher’s aunt overjoyed?

A．Having a chance to visit the writer

B．Having lots of choices in subjects

C．Getting the highest score in her exam

D．Getting admission to a university

【小题3】Which of the following statements will the writer’s aunt agree with?

A．No pains, no gains.

B．Failure is the mother of success.

C．One is never too old to learn.

D．Rome isn’t built in a day.

【小题4】The following word can be used to describe the writer’s aunt EXCEPT __________.

Seventeen years ago, when I was in military college, I was known as “the worrying wreck from Virginia Tech”. I worried so ____1_____ that I often became ill. In _____2_____, I poured out my troubles to Professor Baird, professor of business administration. The fifteen minutes that I spent with Professor Baird did more for my health and happiness than all the rest of the four years I spent in college. “Jim,” he said, “you ought to sit down and face the facts. If you _____3_____ half as much time and energy to solving your problems as you do to worrying about them, you wouldn’t have any worries. ”

I figured that I had failed physics because I had no interest in the subject. But now I changed my attitude. I said to myself, “If the college _____4_____ demand that I pass my physics examination before I obtain a degree, who am I to question their wisdom?”

So I ______5____ for physics again. This time I passed because instead of wasting my time in worrying about how hard it was, I studied _____6_____.

I solved my ____7_____ worries by taking on some additional jobs, such as selling punch at the college dances, and by borrowing money from my father, which I paid back soon after ____8______.

As I look back at it now, I can see that my problem was one of _____9_____, a lack of willingness to find the causes of my worry and face them realistically.
