For years Tom Anderson's life was withered up (枯萎) by the memory of his part in a fraternity (友爱, 互助会) adventure that resulted in the death of one of his classmates.He and his wife separated after six years of marriage.Then the news about Tom changed.His wife Betty came back; he earned a fine position.One day he told me what had changed his life."I used to think, 'Nothing can undo what I have done.' The thought of my guilt would stop me in the middle of a smile or a handshake.It put a wall between my wife and me." "Then I had an unexpected visit from the person I was most afraid to see-the mother of the college classmate who died.'Years ago', she said, 'I found it in my heart, through prayer, to forgive you.Betty forgave you.So did your friends and employers.'She paused, and then said seriously, 'You are the one person who hasn't forgiven Tom Anderson.Who do you think you are to stand out against the people of this town and the Lord Almighty?'I looked into her eyes and found there a_kind_of_permission_to_be _the_person_I_might_have_been_if_her_boy_had_lived.For the first time in my adult life I felt worthy to love and be loved." It is only through forgiveness of our mistakes that we gain the freedom to learn from experience. But forgiving our shortcomings doesn't mean denying that they exist.On the contrary, it means facing them honestly, realistically. Can a person be allforgiving and still be human?A scientist I know spent four years as a slave laborer in Germany.His parents were killed by Nazi street bullies; his younger sister and older brother were sent to the gas chambers.This is a man who has every reason to hate.Yet he is filled with a love of life that he conveys to everyone who knows him.He explained it to me the other day:"In the beginning I was filled with hatred.Then I realized that in hating I had become my own enemy.Unless you forgive, you cannot love.And without love, life has no meaning."Forgiveness is truly the saving grace. 1. Tom Anderson and his wife separated after six years of marriage probably because________. A. he had killed one of his classmates B. he had cared more for his adventure than for his wife C. his wife looked down upon his poor position D. his life had been made in a great mess by his deep guilt 2. The key reason for which Tom's life changed back to normal may be that________. A. his wife Betty came back to him B. the mother of his college classmate asked Betty to forgive him for his guilt C. he eventually learned to face his guilt honestly, realistically and forgave himself D. he earned a fine position and finally made a lot of money 3. The underlined part in the second paragraph means that________. A. the mother of my college classmate permitted me to be a real person B. even my college classmate would permit me to be what I used to be C. I wouldn't be a person unless my college classmate permitted me to D. I might have been a successful person if my college classmate had lived 4. The best title for this passage could be________. A. Forgiveness:the saving grace B. Hatred:unrealistic way of living C. Love:a meaningful worthy life D. Guilt:unforgivable mistake |

Fear is an emotion like others such as happiness, anger, hurt, sadness.We need emotions to process information we receive and decide how to respond.Being afraid of fast cars, for example, is something that might protect us from harm.Being afraid of the consequence of a choice may prevent us getting into trouble. Fears in young children commonly center on certain animals like snakes or big dogs.Fears are caused often because of experiences or ideas expressed by others, and at times, the media.Many normal fears during the early years, like men with beards, or large dogs, disappear with age.Those relating to personal failure and ridicule (嘲笑) remain through adulthood and may need special help to overcome. Children's fears are often small, but that doesn't mean they should be dismissed as trivial (微不足道的). They need to be recognized and accepted as real for that child.Only when we help children understand their fears can they grow normally in their ability to settle them. Research shows that as a child grows up, the center of his fears changes a lot.Things like divorce, a teacher who "shouted at me", people with guns, bullies, big boys, or "making fun of me" top the list of childhood fears." We cannot always prevent these experiences from happening, but it is essential that children be allowed to freely express their emotions without judgment.Sympathy and a caring listener will help ease pain of these fears.Read books and stories to your child about children who have experienced similar fears.This helps children talk about their fears and find ways to cope.With all emotions, fears become less of a problem for children as they gain selfconfidence and they find that fear is normal and can be dealt with. 1. According to Paragraph 2, we can know that fears in young children________. A. only center on frightening animals B. are not born but learned C. can make sure of their safety D. need special help to deal with 2. Children's fears are often ignored because________. A. they exist widely in the world B. they will disappear with age C. people thought they are not worth considering D. they are often imaginary 3. In dealing with children's fears, the final goal of the parents is to________. A. stop unpleasant experiences happening to children B. let children know about the nature of fear C. create an environment where there is nothing to fear D. develop children's ability to treat their fears on their own 4. From the passage we can learn that________. A. some childhood fears may have a lasting influence B. children should avoid the media to reduce their fear C. fears can be judged according to the environment D. children with similar fears can communicate easily 5. What's the best title for this passage? A. Children's fears. B. How to overcome children's fears. C. The kind of children's fears. D. The bad effects of fears. |

Crossing the Rubicon The march to Italy was began.The soldiers were even more enthusiastic than Caesar (恺撒) himself. They climbed mountains, waded rivers, endured tiredness, and faced all kinds of danger for the sake of their great leader. At last they came to a little river called the Rubicon (卢比孔河). It was the boundary line of Caesar's Province of Gaul; on the other side of it was Italy.Caesar paused a moment on the bank.He knew that to cross it would be to declare war against Pompey and the Roman Senate; it would involve all Rome in a fearful battle, the end of which no man could foresee. But he did not hesitate long.He gave the word, and rode boldly across the shallow stream. "We have crossed the Rubicon, " he cried as he reached the farther shore."There is now no turning back." Soon the news was carried to Rome "Caesar has crossed the Rubicon" and there was great fear among those who had planned to destroy him.Pompey's soldiers deserted him and hurried to join themselves to Caesar's army.The Rome senators and their friends made ready to escape from the city. "Caesar has crossed the Rubicon!" was shouted along the roads and byways leading to Rome; and the country people turned out to meet and hail with joy the conquering hero. The word was carried a second time to the city "Caesar has crossed the Rubicon" and the wild fight began.Senators and public officers left everything behind and hurried away to seek safety with Pompey. On foot, on horseback, in litters, in carriages, they fled for their lives-all because Caesar had crossed the Rubicon.Pompey was unable to protect them.He hurried to the seacoast, and, with all who were able to accompany him, sailed away to Greece. Caesar was the master of Rome. 1. Which of the following can NOT be used to describe Caesar's army? A. Enthusiastic in the march. B. Not afraid of tiredness. C. Brave in the march. D.

One in five US teenagers have some degree of hearing loss, according to researchers who said the problem is growing."Teenagers really underestimate how much noise they are exposed to" Dr Josef Shargorodsky said.__①__ The study, published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, compared national surveys between the early 1990s and the mid2000s.In the first survey, about 15 percent of teenagers had some degree of hearing loss.__②__Most of the hearing loss was in one ear only.While it was usually slight, one in 20 adolescents had more pronounced (显著的) problems-up 50 percent since the first survey. Hearing loss is very common in the elderly, Grimes said, but she added that it was concerning to see it come into the younger age groups.In babies and young children, hearing problems are known to delay language development, which in turn influences performance in other areas.Slight hearing loss, for instance, makes it difficult to distinguish between highfrequency consonants like "s" and "f" __③__The science is less clear for adolescents, but it is easy to imagine how being hard of hearing could influence learning, said Grimes."We know from a lot of data that noisy classrooms are one of the biggest challenges to learning." The reasons for the rise are still uncertain.When asked about noise exposure-on the job, from firearms or recreational activities, for instance-the teenagers didn't indicate any change.But Shargorodsky said, "We knew from before that it is difficult to ask this age group about noise exposure-they underestimate it."__④__Although it's not clear that these devices are to blame, Grimes said it was still a good idea to turn down the volume.But she pointed out the advice would likely fall on deaf ears.She said the American Academy of Hearing had also contacted Steve Jobs, the CEO of Apple, about adding a volume limiter on iPods, but never heard back. 1. In which place should the sentence "Few people would call it noise when they listen to music on their MP3 players, for instance." be put? A. ① B. ② C. ③ D. ④ 2. What's the main idea of the third paragraph? A. Hearing loss was very common in the elderly in the country. B. The sounds like "s" and "f" are hard to distinguish by babies. C. The number of teenagers with hearing problems is decreasing. D. Babies and teenagers are also facing problems of hearing loss. 3. Which of the following is TRUE? A. The reasons of the hearing loss are known to the researchers. B. The surveys have been carried out for at most 15 years. C. The reasons for the rise are clear to the researchers. D. The results of the surveys have been published in a newspaper. 4. The American Academy of Hearing contacted the CEO of Apple in order to________. A. share the surveys with the CEO of Apple B. get more help in finance from the Apple Company C. remind the company to add a volume limiter on iPods D. express warning and threat to the CEO of Apple |
任务型读写。 The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children.Some parents send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the US or Australia, regardless of how much this costs. Many also want their children to take extracurriculum (课外的) activities where they either learn a musical instrument or ballet, or other classes that will give them a head start in life.The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is, so parents often spend unreasonable amount of money on education.Even poor couples buy a computer for their son or daughter. However, what most parents fail to see is that the best education they can give their children is usually very cheap.Parents can see that their children's skills vary; they will usually be skilled in some areas while poor in others.What most parents fail to realize though, is that today's children lack selfrespect and selfconfidence. The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiplechoice tests and how to study effectively.They are not teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and clever. Parents can help achieve this by teaching their children practical skills like cooking, sewing and other housework. Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in life.Cooking demands patience and time.It is an enjoyable but difficult experience.A good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually finish his job successfully.The result, a wellcooked dinner, will give a child a lot of satisfaction and confidence. An old machine such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your child as a toy may make him curious and arouse his interest.If he will spend hours looking at it, and try to mend it, your child might become an engineer when he grows up.Such activities do more than teach a child to read a book; but rather they teach them to think, and to use their minds.This is much more important than learning by reading a book.
