19.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others often,we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understood.Instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.More often it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

分析 在动物界示弱会遭受攻击而在人类社会示弱会得到他人的友善帮助.与此同时,提供帮助的人也会从中得到快乐.逞强或假装坚强的人看不到他人的友善,也使他人失去了为其提供帮助的机会.上个月作者因身感不适缓慢开车,导致跟在后面的司机暴躁,生气,超车,按喇叭甚至朝他大吼.但是,当他们看到作者打开车灯示意有问题时,又都对作者显示了他们的耐心与善意.通常情况下,当我们处于劣势时或害怕时能够示弱,不逞强,将有助于我们处境的好转.
解答 ADBCB
41 A. 细节理解题.先抓住第一段最后一句"And I have discovered that it makes them happy."中的it.理解it为指示代词,指代前文出现的内容.所以再根据前面一句"I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat."可知,人们在给别人提供帮助的时候感到快乐.故选A.
42 D. 细节理解题.根据第二段"but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily"可知,一些人会与他人的善意擦肩而过.故选D.
43 B.细节理解题.根据第五段"But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak."中instead of(而不是)可知,司机耐心地等待.故选B.
44 C. 推理判断题.根据文章最后一句"it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared."可知,适时示弱,承认自己的缺陷会改善我们的处境.故选C.
45 B.标题归纳.抓住文章的主题句--第一段中的"But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people."下面的内容都是为了进一步的阐述,论证.故选B.
