While taking a walk with my pet dog this morning, I found the middle-aged man nearby was shouting on his phone. Obvious, he had a bad day. Before he left, I noticed his keys were on the ground. So I immediately picked up and ran away to find the man. Several minutes later, I found him, whom was still shouting on his phone beside his car. I walked to him and asked if he could hold on a little seconds. At first, he was angry about my interrupt. Then I showed to his keys and explained the whole thing. On heard my words, he immediately hang up his phone and apologized for his rudeness.

【答案】

【1】the→a

【2】Obvious→Obviously

【3】Before→After

【4】在picked和up之间加them

【5】whom→who

【6】little→few

【7】interrupt→interruption

【8】去掉to

【9】heard→hearing

【10】hang→hung

【解析】

试题分析：作者散步时捡到正在打电话的中年男子的钥匙，打断他打电话，他起初很生气，后来向作者道歉。

【1】the→a 此处表示“一个中年人正在大声地打电话”，故把the改为a。

【2】Obvious→Obviously 句意：显而易见，他今天过得不好。副词修饰整个句子，故把Obvious改为Obviously。

【3】Before→After 句意：他离开之后，我注意到他的钥匙在地上。故把Before改为After。

【4】在picked和up之间加them 因为前面keys是复数形式，所以我把“它们”捡起来，故在picked和up之间加them。

【5】whom→who 此处非限制性定语从句中的关系词作主语，指人，故把whom改为who。

【6】little→few 在这里seconds（秒）是可数名词，故把little改为few。

【7】interrupt→interruption 形容词性物主代词后面用名词形式，故把interrupt改为interruption。

【8】去掉to show（展示）是及物动词，后面直接跟宾语，故去掉to。

【9】heard→hearing 固定搭配on +名词/doing，表示“一……就……”。故把heard改为hearing。

【10】hang→hung 句意：一听到我的话，他立刻挂断电话并向我道歉。根据句意可知，此处用一般过去时态，故把hang改为hung。

【知识拓展】

1. (a) few和(a) little的用法：(a) few用在复数可数名词之前，(a) little用在不可数名词之前。He took a few biscuits. (=several) He took little butter. (=not much) 比如第6小题 little→few seconds（秒）是可数名词，故把little改为few。

2. 固定搭配：on +名词/doing，一……就……。On hearing the bad news，she couldn’t help crying.一听到这坏消息，她放声大哭。

【题目】Balancing work and school is not an easy task for me. My first term in college has come and gone and I’ve had to balance a job there, too. I want to cut one loose. Honestly, many times I thought I wanted to drop out of school and just do my job because I needed the money. For a long while I made myself believe that school was getting in the way of my job and money. Not only was I trying to do work and school, but also I was trying to have a social life. Many times I thought that there were not enough hours in the day but I wasn’t managing my time right. Hanging out with friends may have been wonderful but it wasn’t putting money in my pocket or knowledge in my brain. Friends would have to wait. I was back on the see-saw (跷跷板) of balancing work and school.

Scheduling and planning became the key to my success. Setting deadlines and meeting them were important to my college experience. Planning was going well and I felt ready to try and throw a social life back there. I tried to make plans with friends that didn’t conflict with my deadlines. That was actually harder than I thought. So once again my social life had to be put on hold (搁置). My friends were very understanding and encouraged me to do my work. The extra motivation really proved helpful in the end. Some friends would joke that I was all work and no play but sometimes that’s what has to happen to get work done.

As the last term came to an end I can say I learned a lot about college life. Planning is necessary for organization. Drawing up a list of all things I had to do at the beginning of the week and actually completing them made me feel good. Not only have I learned something new about organization, but also I acquired a new tool that I can take everywhere with me and use effectively.

【题目】Ever walked to the shops only to find, once there, you've completely forgotten what you went for? Or struggled to remember the name of an old friend? For years we've accepted that a forgetful brain is as much a part of ageing as wrinkles and grey hair. But now a new book suggests that we've got it all wrong.

According to The Secret Life of the Grown-up Brain, by science writer Barbara Strauch, when it comes to the important things, our brains actually get better with age. In fact, she argues that some studies have found that our brain hits its peak between our 40s and 60s— much later than previously thought.

Furthermore, rather than losing many brain cells as we age, we retain （保留）them, and even produce new ones well into middle age. For years it’s been assumed that brain, much like the body, declines with age. But the longest, largest study into what happens to people as they age suggests otherwise.

This continuing research has followed 6,000 people since 1956, testing them every seven years. It has found that on average, participants performed better on cognitive （认知的）tests in their 40s and 50s than they had done in their 20s. Specifically, older people did better on tests of vocabulary, verbal memory (how many words you can remember) and problem solving.

Where they performed less well was number ability and perceptual speed－how fast you can push a button when ordered. However, with more complex tasks such as problem-solving and language, we are at our best at middle age and beyond. In short, researchers are now coming up with scientific proof that we do get wiser with age.

Neuroscientists are also finding that we are happier with ageing. A recent US study found older people were much better at controlling and balancing their emotions. It is thought that when we’re younger we need to focus more on the negative aspects of life in order to learn about the possible dangers in the world, but as we get older we’ve learned our lessons and are sub-consciously aware that we have less time left in life: therefore, it becomes more important for us to be happy.

【1】Barbara Strauch probably agrees that ______.

A. people’s brains work best between their 40s and 60s

B. the young are better at handling important things

C. ageing leads to the decline of the function of the brain

D. wrinkles and grey hair are the only symbols of ageing

【2】The continuing research has found older people perform better on _____ .

A. number ability B. vocabulary tests

C. perceptual speed D. body balance

【3】People are happier with age because ______.

A. they know how to share feelings

B. they learn to value the time left

C. they cannot focus on negative aspects

D. they do not realize the possible dangers

【4】What is the main idea of the passage?

A. People get more forgetful with age. B. People get wiser with age.

C. People get happier with age. D. People get more self-aware with age.

【题目】Mrs. Brown was tired after her day’s shopping in London, so she went into a restaurant for a cup of tea ______ catching the train home. When she had ordered her tea, she suddenly remembered that she had to buy some ______ for her husband, who had a cough.

“Is there a chemist’s near here?” she asked the waiter. “Yes, madam.” the waiter said. “It’s only about three minutes’ walk away. Turn right when you go out of the restaurant, then take the second turning to the left. You’ll find a big chemist’s about a hundred yards up the road on the right-hand side.

“Well, first of all,” said the policeman, “we had better go back as far as the chemist’s”. “Now,” suggested the policeman, when they got to the chemist’s, “let’s go in this direction. It leads to the main road, where we shall probably find your restaurant.” When they reached the main road, the policeman said, “I think you’ll find the restaurant you are looking for along there, on the opposite side of the road.” Mrs. Brown thanked the policeman for his help. “I can’t _______ how I went wrong,” she said. The policeman smiled. “It’s quite easy,” he said, “to get lost in a big city like London.”
