7．When I arrived at 6a．m．in the large hospital kitchen，Rose was already checking name tags（標(biāo)簽） on the trays．
"Hi，I'm Janet．"I tried to sound cheerful，although I already knew Rose's reputation for being impossible to work with．"I'm scheduled to work with you this week．"
Rose，a middle-aged woman，stopped what she was doing and looked closely over her reading glasses．I could tell from her expression she wasn't pleased to see a student worker．
"What do you want me to do？Start the coffee？"I asked．
Rose nodded and went back to checking name tags．
I filled the 40-cup pot with cold water and began making coffee when Rose yelled，"That's not the way to make coffee!"She stepped in and took over．Nothing I did pleased her．
Back at home，I stayed aloe in my room，fighting back tears．I thought，"Maybe she didn't feel well．Maybe she had some trouble．"I decided to forgive her and try to get long with her．
The next morning，I ignored the hurtful remarks thrown in my direction and did things and did things Rose's way as much as possible．
Over the next few days an amazing thing began to happen．My focus shifted from what she was doing to me，and I started seeing Rose as the person she was hurting．The icy tension began to melt away．
Throughout the rest of the summer，we had numerous opportunities to work together．Each time she seemed happy to see me．As I worked with this lonely woman，I listened to her---something no one else had done．I learned that she was burdened by elderly parents who needed her care and her own health problems．
That summer I learned a lesson I've never forgotten．The world is full of people like Rose---annoying，demanding，unlovable---yet hurting inside．I've found that love is the best way to turn an enemy into a friend．
21．What was Rose's attitude towards the author the first day they met？A
A．Dissatisfied

7．One day a young man was standing in the middle of the town proclaiming（宣告） that he had（61）the most beautiful（beautiful） heart in the whole valley．A large crowd （62）gathered（gather），and they all admired his heart for it was perfect．
Suddenly，an old man appeared and said，"Why，your heart is not nearly as beautiful as （63）mine．"The crowd and the young man looked at the old man's heart，which was full of scars．It had places where pieces had been removed and other pieces put in，but they didn't fit quite right，and there were several jagged（鋸齒狀的） edges．In fact，in some places there were deep gouges（溝槽） where whole pieces were  （64）missing（miss）．
The young man laughed．"Comparing your heart with mine，mine is perfect and yours is a mess of scars．"
"Yes，"said the old man，"Yours looks perfect （65）butI would never trade with you．You see，every scar represents a person to （66）whomI have given my love．I tear out a piece of my heart and give it to them，and often they give me a piece of their heart that fits into the empty place in my heart．But because the pieces aren't exact，I have some rough edges，which I cherish，because they remind me of （67）thelove we shared．Sometimes I have given pieces of my heart away，and the other person hasn't returned a piece of his or her heart （68）tome．These are the empty gouges．Although these gouges are painful，they stay open，（69）reminding（remind） me of the love I have for those people．So now do you see（70）what true beauty is？"

Today I went to Berkeley, near our old neighborhood. I was a bit surprised by the increased number of homeless (alternatively housed) people walking around. I remember there are more in certain areas. So the first man who asked me for money got all my single bills. So when the second man asked me two minutes later, I said I was out because I gave all I had to the previous person.

I was headed to the grocery store for a coffee and after I left the store I walked out to find him as he had asked me for something because he was hungry and I invited him to go into the grocery store with me.

When I asked him what he wanted to eat, he just asked for vegetable and rice. He talked about how much better the vegetables were as we waited for our number to be called. While we waited he told me that he had slept outside last night on the sidewalk, that it was not good, and that he had come from Rwanda and was alone.

He was a gentleman. When I asked if he wanted more he said, this bowl of food would last him the whole day.

I don’t know what his circumstances were before he came to California, and wandering and begging on the streets could somehow be better because you just never know what had happened to him. He seemed like a kind soul who just needed some help like we all do. I am grateful I did a little to help him today.

1.Why did the author fail to give the second homeless man money?

A. He kept some money for others. B. He spent all his money shopping.

C. He didn’t take any money that day. D. He donated all her small money to the first man.

2.What does the underlined word“ it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?

A. He was alone. B. He waited for his food.

C. He slept on the sidewalk. D. He was offered food.

3.How did the author feel about the homeless man?

A. Understandable. B. Pitiful.

C. Hopeless. D. Strange.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：湖南省長(zhǎng)沙市2016-2017學(xué)年高一下學(xué)期期中考試英語(yǔ)試卷 題型：閱讀理解

Our spiritual intelligence quotient(精神智商), or SQ, helps us understand ourselves, and live fuller, happier lives.

Though we’re all born with SQ, most of us don’t even realize that we have it. Fortunately, you don't have to sign up for classes to learn how to improve your SQ. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding.

Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins with solitude(獨(dú)處) and silence. To tune in to your spirit, you have to turn down the volume(強(qiáng)度) in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. Start small by creating islands for silence in your day. In the car, instead of listening to the music, use the time to think. At work, shut the door to your office between meetings, take a few breaths and let them out very, very slowly. Enjoy the stillness in your home after the kids are finally in bed.

Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. If you are walking with the dog, take the time to admire flowers in bloom; follow the flight of a bird and watch clouds float overhead.

Ask Questions of Yourself. Ask open-ended questions, such as ‘What am I Feeling? What are my choices? Where am I heading?’

But don’t expect an answer to arrive through some supernatural forms of e-mail. ‘Rarely do I get an immediate answer to my question,’ says Reverend Joan Carter, a Presbyterian minister in Sausalito, California. ‘But later that day I suddenly find myself thinking about a problem in a perspective(角度) I never considered before.’

Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut(本能的) feeling to realize danger, spiritual intelligence pushes us, not away from, but towards some action that will lead to a greater good.

1.The passage is mainly about .

A. what your SQ is and in what way it can benefit our life

B. what your SQ is and in what way it can be improved

C. the relationship between your SQ and your life

D. the advantages and disadvantages of SQ

2.The underlined phrase "to tune in to your spirit" in the third paragraph probably means to” ”.

A. to get your spirit relaxed B. to keep up your spirit

C. to keep seated quietly D. to change your spirit

3.From the passage, we can know that the most important thing to improve your SQ is .

A. a peaceful mind B. deep thought

C. spare time and hobbies D. good spirits

4.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Not everyone has SQ

B. You have to go to classes to learn how to improve your SQ

C. SQ leads us to take wrong actions

D. SQ can benefit our life
