Question

【题目】根据短文理解选择正确答案。
B
Are you the type of person who easily gets less confident by negative(消极的) advice? Follow this short lesson about self confidence.
Henry Ward Beecher was a well-known American churchman, social reformer(改革者) and speaker in the middle of the 19th century. When he was a young boy in school, he learned a lesson which he never forgot.
Once he was called up to recite(背诵) in front of the class. When he recited only a few lines, the teacher interrupted with a forceful "No!" He started over and again the teacher shouted, "No!" Ashamed, Henry sat down.
The next boy rose to recite and had just begun when the teacher shouted, "No!" This student, however, kept on reciting until he completed it. As he sat down, the teacher replied, "Very good!"
Henry was angry. "I recited just as he did," he complained to the teacher.
But the teacher replied, "It is not enough to know your lesson, you must be sure. When you allowed me to stop you, it meant that you were uncertain, if the world says, No! It is your business to say yes! And prove it."
The world will say, "No!" in a thousand ways.
"No! You can't do that."
"No! You are wrong."
"No! You are too young."
"No! You don't have the education."
"No! You don't have the ability."
"No! You don't have the money."
"No! You can't work it out."
And each "No!" you hear has the possibility to weaken your confidence bit by bit until you give up all together.
When the world says, "No!" to you, you should be strong-minded to say, "Yes!" and prove it.

【解析】短文大意：该文通过在课堂上两个同学背课文的故事告诉读者在生活当中自信是非常重要的这个道理。
（1）B 细节理解题。根据第三段中When he recited only a few lines, the teacher interrupted with a forceful "No!" He started over and again the teacher shouted, "No!" Ashamed, Henry sat down.的描述可知亨利在他的老师第二次对他说“不”时就放弃了背课文，所以选B。
（2）D 推理判断题。根据文中But the teacher replied, "It is not enough to know your lesson, you must be sure. When you allowed me to stop you, it meant that you were uncertain, if the world says, No! it is your business to say Yes! and prove it."…… And each "No!" you hear has the possibility to weaken your confidence bit by bit until you give up all together.的描述可推知老师认为亨利不如第二个同学确信，所以选D。
（3）C 主旨大意题。根据短文最后When the world says, "No!" to you, you should be strong-minded to say, "Yes!" and prove it.可知作者旨在告诉读者自信是非常重要的，所以选C。
