【題目】閱讀理解
I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It struck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left. The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn't have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”

【答案】

【解析】文章講述的是關(guān)于愛的傳遞的故事。作者見到一對老人非常恩愛,他被他們的愛感動了,于是,作者替這對老夫婦付了賬。這對老夫婦得知后感到驚訝,并作出了同樣的事情。后來,老板娘被感動了,她決定為作者買單。通過這個故事,作者想要表達的是愛可以在人與人之間傳遞,即使是陌生人。
(1)C 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段中It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.可知,作者剛剛結(jié)束了20年的婚姻,還沉浸在傷痛中,故選C。
(2)B 推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中“I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other”和第三段“The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.”可知,那兩位老人感到驚訝的同時,也感激作者的好意,他們于是做出了相同的事情——傳遞愛。故選B。
(3)D 主旨大意題。文章主要通過一件小事來說明愛的力量。作者幫一對恩愛的老夫婦付賬,之后,兩位老人做出了相同的事情,他們也想把愛傳遞給他人。作者通過描述一個有趣的經(jīng)歷來證明一個道理,愛是可以在人與人之間傳遞的,排除A、B;老夫婦和兩位年輕人并不是需要幫助,排除C;故選D。

【題目】閱讀理解
Making a good job choice is almost as good as choosing a good life. So, choosing a job is one of the most important decisions to make in life.
For my job, there are three important things that I will consider: The first one—that I must work in an area I like—is most important to me. Someone once said if you find a job that you enjoy, then you won't have to work another day. I would like to work in an area where I can be more creative. I would like to be the most valuable member there. All this is possible only if I like what I do.
The second one is that the area of my work must lead me to solve some new and hard problems. I would like to stay in the same area for a long time. In order for this to happen, the work must provide enough problems. More than just working to live, I enjoy making a difference and trying my best for the whole progress. I would also like to be well remunerated for my hard work, so I can lead a comfortable life with this hard-won money. Then I can provide the best for my family.
The third important thing is that I would like to work in an area that would help other people. The work in my mind is in fields such as the army, training or management. In such areas, I can help to develop the abilities of others and bring out their best. It would be a most satisfying job to help young people to become the best that they can be. When I become old, I would like to look back with a great sense of satisfaction that thousands of people have become better persons through my work.
I accept the idea that no one should make a choice of a job suddenly or quickly. He should decide what he wants to be in the long run. Then, he should decide how he works towards it. He should study the proper courses, read the books and speak to knowledgeable persons in that field before making a job choice. A good choice will most probably lead to a better life.
(1)According to the passage, a good job choice probably makes people ________.
A.solve fewer problems
B.choose a good life
C.be good family members
(2)The writer considers an enjoyable job most important because ________.
A.he has to bring out his best
B.it can make him more creative
C.he will have to work another day
(3)The underlined word "remunerated" in the means"________.
A.trained
B.praised
C.paid
(4)The writer wants to tell us that everyone should ________.
A.become a knowledgeable person
B.join the army to become a better person
C.make preparations to find a satisfying job
(5)What is the best title for the passage?
A.My Job Choice
B.My favorite Job
C.My Comfortable Life

Some students get so nervous before a test, they do poorly even if they know the material. Sian Beilock has studied these highly anxious test-takers.
Sian Beilock: “They start worrying about the consequences. They might even start worrying about whether this exam is going to prevent them from getting into the college they want. And when we worry, it actually uses up attention and memory resources. I talk about it as your cognitive horsepower that you could otherwise be using to focus on the exam.”
Professor Beilock and another researcher, Gerardo Ramirez, have developed a possible solution. Just before an exam, highly anxious test-takers spend ten minutes writing about their worries about the test.
Sain Beilock: “What we think happens is when students put it down on paper, they think about the worst that could happen and they reappraise the situation. They might realize it's not as bad as they might think it was before and, in truth, it prevents these thoughts from appearing suddenly when they're actually taking a test.”
The researchers tested the idea on a group of twenty anxious college students. They gave them two short math tests. After the first one, they asked the students to either sit quietly or write about their feelings about the upcoming second test.
The researchers added to the pressure. They told the students that those who did well on the second test would get money. They also told them that their performance would affect other students as part of a team effort.
Professor Beilock says those who sat quietly scored an average of twelve percent worse on the second test. But the students who had written about their fears improved their performance by an average of five percent.
Next, the researchers used younger students in a biology class. They told them before final exams either to write about their feelings or to think about things unrelated to the test.
Professor Beilock says highly anxious students who did the writing got an average grade of B+, compared to a B- for those who did not.
Sain Beilock: “What we showed is that for students who are highly test-anxious, who'd done our writing intervention, all of a sudden there was no relationship between test anxiety and performance. Those students most prone to worry were performing just as well as their classmates who don't normally get nervous in these testing situations.”
But what if students do not have a chance to write about their fears immediately before an exam or presentation? Professor Beilock says students can try it themselves at home or in the library and still improve their performance.
Title: Overcoming test | |
Problem | Some students get nervous before a test, so they can't doeven if they know the material. |
