中考英语阅读每日一练《音乐与椅子》
中考英语阅读每日一练《音乐与椅子》Do you know how to play a game called “Musical Chairs”? It is easy to play and most people enjoy it. All you need are some chairs, some people and some way of making music. You may use a piano or any other musical instrument, if someone can play it. You may use a tape recorder. You can even use a radio.Put the chairs in a row. The chairs may be put in twos, back to back. A better way is to have the chairs in one row with each chair facing in the opposite direction to the chair next to it.The game is easy. When the music starts, the players walk round the chairs. Everyone goes in the same direction, of course, they should walk in time to the music. If the music is fast they should walk quickly. If the music is slow, they should walk slowly.The person playing music cannot see the people in the game. When the music stops, the players try to sit on the chairs. If a person cannot find a chair to sit on, he drops out. Then, before the music starts again, one chair must be taken away. When the music stops again, one more player will be out.At last, there will be two players and one chair. The one who sits on the chair when the music stops is the winner.根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

高级商务英语阅读材料每日一练实用一份高级商务英语阅读材料每日一练 1part 1Always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in the long run, because if you don't, they will make you. Most parents think they know better than you do, and you can generally make more by humoring that superstition than you can by acting on your own better judgment.Be respectful to your superiors, if you have any, also to strangers, and sometimes to others. If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do not resort to extreme measures; simply watch your chance and hit him with a brick. That will be sufficient. If you shall find that he had not intended any offense, e out frankly and confess yourself in the wrong when you struck him; acknowledge it like a man and say you didn't mean to. Yes, always avoid violence; in this age of charity and kindliness, the time has gone by for such things. Leave dynamite to the low and unrefined.Go to bed early, get up early- this is wise. Some authorities say get up with the sun; some say get up with one thing, others with another. But a lark is really the best thing to get up with. It gives you a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get up with the lark; and if you get the right kind of lark, and work at him right, you can easily train him to get up at half past nine, every time―it's no trick at all.Now as to the matter of lying, you want to be very careful about lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get caught. Once caught, you can never again be in the eyes to the good and the pure, what you were before. Many a young person has injured himself permanently through a single clumsy and ill finished lie, the result of carelessness born of plete training. Some authorities hold that the young out not to lie at all. That of course, is putting it rather stronger than necessary; still while I cannot go quite so far as that, I do maintain, and I believe I am right, that the young ought to be temperate in the use of this great art until practice and experience shall give them that confidence, elegance, and precision which alone can make the plishment graceful and profitable. Patience, diligence, painstaking attention to detail―these are requirements; these in time, will make thestudent perfect; upon these only, may he rely as the sure foundation for future eminence. Think what tedious years of study, thought, practice, experience, went to the equipment of that peerless old master who was able to impose upon the whole world the lofty and sounding maxim that “Truth is mighty and will pr evail"―the most majestic pound fracture of fact which any of woman born has yet achieved. For the history of our race, and each individual's experience, are sewn thick with evidences that a truth is not hard to kill, and that a lie well told is immortal. There is in Boston a monument of the man who discovered anesthesia; many people are aware, in these latter days, that that man didn't discover it at all, but stole the discovery from another man. Is this truth mighty, and will it prevail? Ah no, my hearers, the monument is made of hardy material, but the lie it tells will outlast it a million years. An awkward, feeble, leaky lie is a thing which you ought to make it your unceasing study to avoid; such a lie as that has no more real permanence than an average truth. Why, you might as well tell the truth at once and be done with it. A feeble, stupid, preposterous lie will not live two years―except it be a slander upon somebody. It is indestructible, then of course, but that is no merit of yours. A final word: begin your practice ofthis gracious and beautiful art early―begin now. If I had begun earlier, I could have learned how.part 2An old problem is getting new attention in the United States: bullying. Recent cases included the tragic case of a fifteen-year-old girl whose family moved from Ireland.Phoebe PrincePhoebe Prince hanged herself in Massachusetts in January following months of bullying. Her parents criticized her school for failing to protect her. Officials have brought criminal charges against several teenagers.Judy Kuczynski is president of an anti-bullying group called Bully Police USA. Her daughter Tina was the victim of severe bullying starting in middle school in the state of Minnesota.JUDY __KI: "Our daughter was a very outgoing child. She was a bubbly personality, very involved in all kinds of things, had lots of friends. And over a period of time her grades fell pletely. She started having health issues. She couldn't sleep. She wasn't eating. She had terrible stomach pains. She started clenching her jaw and grinding her teeth at night. Didn't want to go to school."Bullying is defined as negative behavior repeated over time against the same person. It can involve physical violence. Or it canbe verbal __ for example, insults or threats.Spreading lies about someone or excluding a person from a group is known as social or relational bullying.And now there is cyberbullying, which uses the Internet, e-mail or text messages. It has easy appeal for the bully because it does not involve face-to-face contact and it can be done at any time.The first serious research studies into bullying were done in Norway in the late nineteen seventies. The latest government study in the United States was released last year. It found that about one-third of students age twelve to eighteen were bullied at school.Examples included being made fun of, pushed, spit on, threatened or excluded from activities. Some students had their property damaged. About four percent reported being the victims of cyberbullying. The study took place in two thousand seven.Susan Swearer is a psychologist at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and co-director of the Bullying Research Network. She says schools should treat bullying as a mental health problem to get bullies and victims the help they need. Shesays bullying is connected to depression, anxiety and anti-social behavior, and bullies are often victims themselves.What can be done to prevent bullying? That will be our subject next week.。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校杭州外国语学校高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练13倒数第八周星期三AShort and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis Cricket—anything with a round ball, I was useless,” he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the object of jokes in school gym classes in England’s rural Devonshire.It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first the teen went biking alone in a nearby forest. Then he began to cycle along with a runner friend. Gradually, Saunders set his mind building up his body, increasing his speed, strength and endurance. At age 18, he ran his first marathon.The following year, he met John Ridgway, who became famous in the 1960s for rowing an open boat across the Atlantic Ocean. Saunders was hired as an instructor at Ridgway’s school of Adventure in Scotland, where he learned about the older man’s cold-water exploits(成就).Intrigued, Saunders read all he could about Arctic explorers and North Pole expeditions, then decided that this would be his future.Journeys to the Pole aren’t the usual holidays for British country boys, and many people dismissed his dream as fantasy. “John Ridgway was one of the few who didn’t say, ‘You are completely crazy,’” Saunders says.In 2001, after becoming a skilled skier, Saunders started his first long-distance expedition toward the North Pole. He suffered frostbite, had a closer encounter(遭遇) with a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit.Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pol e, and he’s skied more of the Arctic by himself than any other Briton. His old playmates would not believe the transformation.This October, Saunders, 27, heads south to explore from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole and back, an 1800-mile journey that has never been completed on skis.1. The turning point in Saunders’life came when _____A. he started to play ball gamesB. he got a mountain bikeat age 15C. he ran his first marathon at ag e 18D. he started to receiveRidgway’s training2. We can learn from the text that Ridgway _______.A. dismissed Saunders’ dream as fantasyB. built up his body together with SaundersC. hired Saunders for his cold-water experienceD. won his fame for his voyage across the Atlantic3. What do we know about Saunders?A. He once worked at a school in Scotland.B. He followed Ridgway to explore the North Pole.C. He was chosen for the school sports team as a kid.D. He was the first Briton to ski alone to the North Pole.4. The underlined word “Intrigued” in the third paragraph probably means_____.A. ExcitedB. ConvincedC. DelightedD.Fascinated5. It can be inferred that Saunders’ journey to the North Pole ______.A. was accompanied by his old playmatesB. set a record in the NorthPole expeditionC. was supported by other Arctic explorersD. made him well-knownin the 1960sBThe “Bystander Apathy （漠不关心）Effect” was first studied by researchers in New York after neighbours ignored—and in some cases turned up the volume on their TVs—the cries of a woman as she was murdered (over a half-hour period). With regard to helping those in difficulty generally, they found that:(1) women are helped more than men;(2) men help more than women;(3) attractive women are helped more than unattractive women.Other factors relate to the number of people in the area, whether the person is thought to be in trouble through their own fault, and whether a person sees himself as being able to help.According to Adrian Furnham, Professor of University College, London, there are three reasons why we tend to stand by doing nothing:(1) “Shifting of responsibility”一the more people there are, the less likely help is to be given. Each person excuses himself by thinking someone else will help, so that the more “other people’ there are, the greater the total shifting of responsibility.(2) “'Fear of making a mistake'’一situations are often not clear. People think that those involved in an accident may know each other or it may be a joke, so a fear of embarrassment makes them keep themselves to themselves.(3) “Fear of the consequences if attention is turned on you and the person is violent.”Laurie Taylor, Professor of Sociology at London University, says: “In the experiments I’v e seen on intervention(介入), much depends on the neighborhood or setting. There is a silence on public transport which is hard to break. We are embarrassed to draw attention to something that is happening, while in a football match, people get involved, and a fight would easily follow. ”Psychotherapist Alan Dupuy identifies the importance of theindividual: “The British as a whole have some difficulty intervening, but there are exceptional individuals in every group who are prepared to intervene, regardless of their own safety: These would be people witha strong moral code or religious ideals.”6. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A. Pretty women are more likely to be helped.B. People on a bus are more likely to stop a crime.C. Religious people are more likely to look on.D. Criminals are more likely to harm women.7. Which factor is NOT related with intervention according to the passage?A. Sex.B. Nationality.C. Profession.D.Setting.8. Which phenomenon can be described as the “Bystander Apathy Effect”?A. When one is in trouble, people think it’s his own fault.B. In a football match, people get involved in a fight.C. Seeing a murder, people feel sorry that it should have happened.D. On hearing a cry for help, people keep themselves to themselves.9. The author wrote this article ______.A. to explain why bystanders behave as they doB. to urge people to stand out when in needC. to criticize the selfishness of bystandersD. to analyze the weakness of human natureC10.

Hall’s field of studyD. a definitionof personal space14. The word dynamics means ______.A. difficultiesB. forces or influences thatcause changeC. largenessD. explosions so large that they ar ebeyond beliefDI tried not to be biased, but I had my doubts about hiring Stevie. His social worker assured me that he would be a good, reliable busboy. But I had never had a mentally handicapped employee. He was short, a little fat with the smooth facial features and thick-tongued speech of Down’s Syndrome(唐氏综合症). I thought most of my customers would be uncomfortable around Stevie so I closely watched him for the first few weeks.I shouldn't have worried. After the first week, Stevie had my staff wrapped around his fat little finger, and within a month my regular truck customers had adopted him as their official truck stop mascot(吉祥物). After that, I really didn't care what the rest of the customers thought of him. He was like a 21-year-old in blue jeans and Nikes, eager to laugh and eager to please, but fierce in his attention to his duties. Every salt and pepper shaker was exactly in its place, not a coffee spill was visible when Stevie got done with the table. Our only pro blem was persuading him to wait to clean a table until after the customers were finished.Over time, we learned that he lived with his mother, a widow who was disabled after repeated surgeries for cancer. Money was tight, and what I paid him was probably the difference between them being able to live together and Stevie being sent to a group home.That's why the restaurant was a gloomy place that morning last August, the first morning in three years that Stevie missed work. He was at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester getting a heart surgery. His social worker said that people with Down’s Syndrome often have heart problems at an early age so this wasn't unexpected, and there was a good chance he would come through the surgery in good shape and be back at work in a few months.A ripple of exci tement ran through the staff later that morning when word came that he was out of surgery, in recovery, and doing fine. Frannie, the head waitress, did a little dance when she heard the good news. BelleRinger, one of our regular trucker customers, stared at her and asked, "OK, Frannie, what was that all about?""We just got word that Stevie is out of surgery and going to be okay.""I was wondering where he was. I had a new joke to tell him. What was the surgery about?"Frannie quickly told Belle Ringer and the other two drivers about Stevie's surgery, then sighed: "Yeah, I'm glad he is going to be OK," she said. "But I don't know how he and his Mom are going to handle all the bills. From what I hear, they're barely getting by as it is." Belle Ringer nodded thoughtfully, and Frannie hurried off to wait on the rest of her tables.After the morning rush, Frannie walked into my office. She had a couple of paper napkins in her hand and a funny look on her face."What's up?" I asked."I cleared off that table where Belle Ringer and his friends were sitting after they left, and I found this was folded and put under a coffee cup."She handed the napkin to me, and three $20 bills fell onto my desk when I opened it. On the outside, in big, bold letters, was printed "Something For Stevie".That was three months ago. Today is Thanksgiving, the first day Stevie is supposed to be back to work. His social worker said he had been counting the days until the doctor said he could work. I arranged to have his mother bring him to work, met them in the parking lot and invited them both to celebrate his day back.I led them toward a large corner booth. I could feel and hear the rest of the staff following behind as we marched through the dining room. We stopped in front of the big table. Its surface was covered with coffee cups, and dinner plates, all sitting slightly bent on dozens of folded paper napkins."First thing you have to do, Stevie, is clean up this mess," I said.Stevie looked at me, and then at his mother, then pulled out one of the napkins. It had "Something for Stevie" printed on the outside. As he picked it up, two $10 bills fell onto the table. Stevie stared at the money, then at all the napkins peeking from beneath the tableware, each with his name printed on it.I turned to his mother. "There's more than $10,000 in cash and checks on that table, all from truckers and trucking companies that heard about your problems. "Happy Thanksgiving !"Well, it got really noisy about that time, with everybody hollering and shouting, and there were a few tears, as well. But you know what's funny?While everybody else was busy shaking hands and hugging each other, Stevie, with a big, big smile on his face, was busy clearing all the cupsand dishes from the table.15. Why did the author have doubts about hiring Stevie?A. Stevie was not that reliable.B. Stevie was mentallydisabled.C. Stevie was too short and fat.D. Stevie wasbad-tempered.16. According to the story, which of the following sentences is true?A. Stevie made customers uncomfortable.B. Stevie couldn’t fix his attention on his work.C. Stevie often spilled coffee out of cups.D. Stevie usually cleaned the table too early.17.

Why did Frannie sigh after she got word that Stevie would be OK ?A. She was worried that the owner would fire Stevie.B. She was worried about Stevie’s health.C. She was worried about Stevie’s finance problem.D. She was worried that no one would help Stevie.19. Why did the author ask Stevie to clean up the mess on the table after he returned?A. It was Stevie’s duty to clean the table.B. The table was so dirty that it needed cleaning.C. Stevie would find the money that was given to him.D.

When the world was still populated by hunter-gatherers,small, tightly knit (联系)groups developed their own patterns of speech independent of each other.Some language experts believe that 10,000 years ago, when the world had just five to ten million people, they spoke perhaps 12,000 languages between them.Soon afterwards, many of those people started settling down to become farmers, and their languages too became more settled and fewer in number. In recent centuries, trade, industrialisation, the development of the nation-state and the spread of universal compulsory education, especially globalisation and better communications in the past few decades, all have caused many languages to disappear, and dominant languages such as English, Spanish and Chinese are increasingly taking over.zxxkAt present, the world has about 6,800 languages. The distribution of these languages is hugely uneven. The general rule is that mild zones have relatively few languages, often spoken by many people, while hot, wet zones have lots, often spoken by small numbers. Europe has only around 200 languages; the Americas about 1,000; Africa 2 400; and Asia and the Pacific perhaps 3,200, of which Papua New Guinea alone accounts for well over 800. The median number (中位数)of speakers is a mere 6,000, which means that half the world’s languages are spoken by fewer people than that.Already well over 400 of the total of, 6,800 languages are close to extinction(消亡), with only a few elderly speakers left. Pick, at random, Busuu in Cameroon (eight remaining speakers),Chiapaneco in Mexico(150), Lipan Apache in the United States(two or three)or Wadjigu in Australia (one, with a question-mark): none of these seems to have much chance of survival.28. What can we infer about languages in hunter-gatherer times?A.They developed very fast.B. They were large in number.C. They had similar patterns.D. They were closely connected.29. Which of the following best explains"dominant " underlined in paragraph 2？plex.B. Advanced.C.Powerful.D.Modern.30. How many languages are spoken by less than 6, 000 people at present?A.About 6,800B.About 3,400C.About 2,400D.About 1,20031. What is the main idea of the text?A. New languages will be created.B.

Two-thirds of people surveyed last year in 28 countries expressed low levels of trust in "mainstream institutions" of business, government and media.In “Who Can You Trust?" Botsman, an Oxford lecturer offers a timely and accessible framework for understanding what trust is, how it works, why it matters and how it is evolving. It is an important guidance to the obstacles and opportunities we face as a society if we are to repair and redefine trust.Through human history, trust has evolved in three basic stages: Local trust was enough when people lived in small communities and everybody knew everybody else; industrialization and urbanization required institutional trust so that people could trust complete strangers running governments, corporations, and standards for international trade, commerce and finance. We are now living through a massive global .shift of trust from institutions to individuals: distributed trust facilitated by high-tech platforms, many of which are run by the private sector.This shift is caused by several factors. First, accountability is unequal. Rich, powerful and well- connected individuals have been able to accumulate vast quantities of often undocumented wealth by avoiding tax and anti-bribery laws, while ordinary people are likely to be caught and punished for lawbreaking. Second, people in power are no longer seen to deserve greater respect as the details of their lives are exposed.Botsman does not prescribe how we deal with that. But if the old ways of giving and cancelling trust such as . voting, markets and consumer choice are no longer functioning, then we must change or replace them. Systems must be "driven democratically and rationally," become more "transparent, inclusive, and accountable" and, most important, be designed to "put people first," which profit-driven platforms have failed to do sufficiently.Tech executives are responding to the trust crisis mainly with promises of more and better technology. But Batsman warns that the responsibility for ensuring that therobots being used are trustworthy lies with the human beings who design and use them. We have not thought through how we hold those people accountable, let alone their robots. She warns against a natural tendency "to become over- reliant on machines." Ideally machines should be programmed to "understand" their own limitations and even seek human help or intervention.A growing number of people hope that new trust mechanisms can be established through the use of exciting new technologies such as the blockchain(区块链). In essence, blockchains are digital public ledgers of transactions that cannot be changed, thereby creating greater transparency and accountability and making corruption much harder.However, Botsman warns that the blockchain is no panacea for human trust. Whether blockchain systems lead to more accountable governance and a more just global economy will depend on their design and the intentions of those who build them. There is no app for fixing trust."Who Can You Trust?" does make a clear case for why it is important for the companies, governments and other institutions to be much more transparent and subject themselves to new mechanisms that can credibly hold them accountable. It is the only way they can hope to earn and maintain trust in the future.1. Which of the following orders of trust evolution is right?A. institutional trust→industrialized trust→individual trustB. urbanized trus→local trust→institutional trustC. local trust →institutional trust →distributed trustD. local trust→urbanized trust →individual trust2. What can we conclude from the passage?A. Profit-driven platforms pay no attention to the importance of people.B. It is the people who design and use technology that count in restoring trust.C. New technologies, such as the blockchain can prevent corruption from happening.D. People should rely on new technologies to create transparency and accountability.3. What do the underlined words“no panacea" mean?A. not a Herculean taskB. a hard nutC. not a cure-all medicineD. a catch -224. What's the author's attitude toward the possibility of using technology to restore trust?A. SupportiveB. NegativeC. IndifferentD. Skeptical每日一练（二）.阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选。

定额市鞍钢阳光实验学校杭州外国语学校高考英语集训阅读理解每日一练05倒数第十周星期五AMy six-year-old granddaughter stared at me asif she were seeing me for the first time.”Grandma, you are an antique(古董),”she said. "You are old. Antiques are old. You are my antique."1 was not satisfied to let the matter rest there.I took out the Webster's Dictionary and read the definition(定义)to Jenny.I explained, "An antique is not only old, it's an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... piece of furniture. Antiques aretreasured,"I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. "They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.""I'm only 67,"I renunded Jenny.We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that washanded down from rone aunt to another and finally to our family. "It's very old,"I told Jenny.“I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques."There was a picture on the wall purchased at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. "Now that's an antique," I boasted. "Over 100 years old." Of course it was marked up andscratched and not in very good condition. "Sometimes age does that," I told Jenny. "Butthe marks are good marks. They show living, being around. That's something to displaywith pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.".lt was important that I believed this for my ownself-esteem.Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my housefor a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn't buy it new.

To promote the individual advice sessions.C. To stress the importance of a friendly adviser.D. To provide four websites offering study guides.CYou are careful with your money: you collect all kinds of coupons; look for group-buydeals if you eat out; you don't buy clothes unless in a sale. Does all this make you a wiseconsumer?Let's do the math first: you walk into a coffee shop and see two deals for a cup of coffee. The first deal offers 33 percent extra coffee. The second takes 33 percent off the regular price. What's the better deal? Well, they are about the same, you'd think. And you'd be wrong. The deals appear to be equal, but in fact, they are different. Here's the math: Let's say the standard coffee is 10 yuan and let's divide the amount of coffee into three portions(部分). That makes about 3.3 yuan per portion, The first deal gets you 4 portions for 10 yuan (2.5 yuan per portion) and the second gets you 3 portions of coffee for 6.6 yuan (2.2 yuan per portion) and is therefore a better deal.In a new study published by the Journal of Marketing, participants were asked the same question, and most of them chose the first deal, the Atlantic website reported. Why? Because getting something extra for free feels better than getting the same for less. The applications of this view into consumer psychology(心理) are huge. Instead of offering direct discounts, shops offer larger sizes or free samples.According to the study, the reason why these marketing tricks work is that consumers don't really know how much anything should cost, so we rely on parts of our brains that aren't strictly quantitative.There are some traps we should be aware of when shopping. First of all, we are heavily influenced by the first number. Suppose you are shopping in Hong Kong. You walk into Hermes, and you see a 100,000 yuan bag. "That's crazy." You shake your head and leave. The next shop is Gucci, a handbag here costs 25,000 yuan. The price is still high, but compared to the 100,000 yuan price tag you just committed to your memory, this is a steal. Stores often use the price difference to set consumers' expectation. zxxkAnother trap we often fall to Is that we are not really sure what things are worth. And so we use clues(暗示) to tell us what we ought to pay for them. US economist Dan Ariely has done an experiment to prove this. According to the Atlantic, Ariely pretended he was giving a lecture on poetry. He told one group of students that the tickets cost money and another group that they would be paid to attend. Then he informed both groups that thelecture was free. The first group was anxious to attend, believing they were getting something of value for free. The second group mostly declined, believing they were being forced to volunteer for the same event without reward.What's a lecture on poetry by an economist worth? The students bad no idea. That's the point. Do we really know what a shirt is worth ? What about a cup of coffee? What's the worth of a life insurance.policy? Who knows? Most of us don't. As a result, our shopping brain uses only what is knowable: visual(祝觉的) clues, invited emotions, comparisons, and a sense of bargain. We are not stupid. We are just easily influenced. 10. The first paragraph of the passage is intended toA. ask a questionB. introduce a topicC. give some examplesD. describe a phenomenon11. The writer takes the math for example in Paragraph 2 to show . _.A. consumers usually fall into marketing trapsB. consumers' expectation is difficult to predictC. consumers' purchasing power is always changingD. consumers rely on their own judgment when shopping 12. What consumer psychology is mentioned in the passage?A. The first number has little influence on which item should be bought.B. Consumers never use visual clues to decide how much should be paid.C. Getting something extra for free is better than getting the same for less.D. Consumers never rely on parts of the brains that aren't strictly quantitative.13. According to the passage, shops use the following tricks to make more profits EXCEPT .A. showing price differencesB. offering larger sizesC. providing free samplesD. giving direct discounts14. What can we know from US economist Dan Ariely's experiment?A. Ariely's free lecture enjoyed popularity among students.B. The students actually didn't know what the lecture was worth.C. The second group was willing to be volunteers without reward.D. The first group was eager to find out the value of A riely's lecture. DOne morning in Philadelphia, the sun shone bright through all the thick jungles and the tall churches. John, 6, wearing the worn-out clothes, walked from afar, his dark small hands holding a piece of stolen bread.John stopped for a moment at the entrance to the sacred church andthen left tightlyholding the bread, He was an orphan(弧儿), whose parents were killed in World WarIlleaving him alonein the orphanage for five years, Like many childrenin the orphanage, he had a lot of free time. Mostly no one took care of them, so they had to learn how to steal those they wanted.John believed the existence of God, so every Sunday morning in any case be would go to the cburch to have a look and listen to those people singing inside or reciting the Bible.He felt only at this moment he was the child of God and so close to God. But he couldn'tenter because his clothes were so dirty. John himself knew it.John was quietly counting. This was his 45th Sunday at the entranceto the church. He stood on tiptoe for a while and walked away.As time passed, the pastor(牧师) noticed John and learned from others that he was thesmall boy who liked stealing things in the orphanages.On the 46th Sunday, the sun was shining and John came still holdinga piece of bread with his dark small hands. When he just stood there, the pastor came out. He felt like running away, but he was carried by the pastor's friendly smile.The pastor walked up to his side, clearly seeing John's small hands tremble."Are you John?"John didn't answer, but looked at the pastor and nodded."Do you believe in God?" the pastor petted John on his head stained with dust."Yes,l do!" This time John told him loudly."So you believe in yourself?"John looked at the pastor, without a word.The pastor went on saying, "At the first sight of you, I find you'redifferent from other kids because you have a good heart."His face tunung red, John said timidly, "In fact, I'm a thief." With that, he loweredhis head.The pastor didn't speak, but held John's dark small hands, slowly opened them andput them against his wrinkled face."Ah:" Just at the same time, John shouted and was about to take outhis dark smallhands. Yet the pastor tightly held his small hands and spread them out in the sun."Do you see, John?""What?""You're cupping the sunshine in your hands."John blankly looked at his hands: when did they become so beautiful?"In God's eyes, all cluldren are the same. When they are willing to spread out their hands to greet the sun, the sun will naturally shineon them. And you have two things more than they do. First is courage andthe second is kindness." With that, the pastor led him into the church. It was the first time that John went into this sacred place, and at this moment he didn't feel inferior, but the unspeakable warmth.On that morning embracing the sunshine, John found himself again,along with the confidence, satisfaction, happiness, dreams he had never had.Twenty years have passed. Now the boy who ever tightly held the bread with his dirt hands has been the most famous chefin Ph iladelphia and made many popular dishes.Every Sunday morning, he would personally send the bread he baked to the orphanage. Those children who greeted him with cheers were used to consciously spreading their palms before they got the bread.Because they all knew when we are willing to spread out our hands to greet thesunshine, the sun will naturally shine on us.15.

高一英语寒假每日一练1(阅读+完形)
每日一练（一）1. 阅读理解（每小题2分）AFrench children are saying “Hello” to the new academic year and “Bye” to their cell phones during school hours. That’s because a new law has come into effect which bans phone use by students up to the age of 15. The legislation, which follows a campaign promise by French President Emmanuel Macron, also bans tablets and smart watches.The ban is also in place at break times, with exceptions in cases of emergency and for disabled children, the French Education Ministry said in a statement. In emergencies, students can ask their teachers for permission to use their phones. Meanwhile, high schools can voluntarily carry out the measure.Education Minister Jean-Michel Blanquer said the new rules aim to help children focus on lessons, better socialize and reduce social media use. The ban is also designed to fight online bullying and prevent thefts and violence in school. Blanquer has claimed the legislation would improve discipline among France’s 12 million school students, nearly 90% of whom have mobile phones. “Being open to technologies of the future doesn’t mean we have to accept all their uses,” Blanquer said in June as the bill was going through in Parliament.As for enforcement, it’s up to individual school administrations to decide how to put through the ban. School principals can decide to store students’ phones in lockers or allow them to keep them, switched off, in their backpacks. The law allows teachers to take away the phones until the end of the day in case of someone disobeying the bans.Jacqueline Kay-Cessou, whose 14-year-old son, David, is entering eighth grade at the Camille See International School, told the reporter she was happy to hear of the ban. “It’s fantastic news. It’s something I’ve wanted for years,” Kay-Cessou said. “I think phones are socially harmful. Kids can’t think and sit still anymore and it’s highly addictive.”1. What is the new rule for ordinary French students in the new term?A. They are not allowed to use their watches.B. They should follow President Macron.C. They should say “Hello” to school teachers.D. They can’t use their cell phones at school.2. What is the opinion of Jean-Michel Blanquer?A. Cell phones are the main reason for school violence.B. The society should be strict with the school students.C. New technology should be properly applied at school.D. None of the young students should have mobile phones.3. Who is/are responsible for carrying out the ban?A. The school administrators.B. The student monitors.C. The students’ parents.D. The Education Minister.4. What is the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To show the parental response to the ban.B. To provide a conclusion for the text.C. To offer an example for the new law.D. To make a list of cell phone’s harms.BRock and roll music developed in the United States in the early nineteen-fifties. It was based on the music called rhythm and blues that was performed by African American musicians.Early rock and roll singers developed their own kinds of music. Elvis Presley, Chuck Berry, the Beach Boys, and Bob Dylan were the most popular rock and roll musicians in the early 1960s. All were American. Then, in 1964, a new rock and roll group from England invaded America: the Beatles.Some people say the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake. The Beatles changed rock and roll forever. Their early songs were influenced by American rock and roll musicians, including Chuck Berry.But the Beatles looked different and sounded different from any musical group before them.The Beatles released their first album in the United States in 1964, when all of the top five records in America were by the Beatles. In 1967, they released an album called “Sergeant Pepper’s Lonely He arts Club Band.” It was one of the first “concept” albums. That is, all the songs were linked by a common story or idea.The popularity of the Beatles led the way for more rock and roll bands from England to become popular in America. The Rolling Stones was the most important of these bands. The Rolling Stones is one of the few groups from the 1960s that is still performing and recording today. In 1965, the group recorded one of its most famous songs, “Satisfaction”.By the 1970s, rock and roll music became known as rock music. Experts say rock music regained some of the energy of early rock and roll. Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band became popular with their album “Born to Run”. Springsteen’s music was like the lively rock and roll music of the e arly nineteen-sixties. Many of his songs were about social issues. He sang about the effects of unemployment and the war in Vietnam.5. The main topic of this passage is _______.A. the history of American musicB. the development of rock and roll musicC. the famous rock and roll groupsD. the new forms of rock and roll music6. What does “the Beatles’ music shook America like an earthquake” mean?A.

The Beatle’s music had great effect on the rock and roll music in America.D. The Beatle’s music were greatly influenced by American rock and roll music.7.

超强英语阅读力每日一练
超强英语阅读力每日一练The art of reading in English is not just about understanding the words on the page; it's about diving into the depths of the author's intent and the story's world. Each day, I challenge myself to explore a new text, be it a novel, a newspaper article, or a scholarly journal, to sharpen my comprehension skills.As I read, I focus on the rhythm of the language, the flow of ideas, and the nuances of meaning that can be easily missed. This daily practice is not just about vocabulary or grammar; it's about developing a deeper connection with the English language.Today's reading is a short story that captures the essence of human emotions in a few pages. It's a reminderthat even the shortest of narratives can carry the weight of profound insights. The characters are vivid, their dialogues are crisp, and the descriptions are so evocative that I can almost feel the setting's atmosphere.Reading English literature is a journey through different cultures, histories, and perspectives. It's a way to travel the world without leaving the comfort of my reading nook. Each book, each article, is a new passport to a different place and time.The challenge of reading in a foreign language is notjust to grasp the literal meaning but to appreciate the subtleties and the beauty of expression. It's about learning to think in English, to dream in English, and to feel the emotions as if they were my own.As I continue my daily practice, I find that my English reading skills are not just improving; they are evolving. I'm becoming more attuned to the language's music, more sensitive to its poetry, and more capable of appreciating its complexity.In conclusion, the journey of enhancing my English reading prowess is a continuous one. It's a commitment to growth, to learning, and to the endless possibilities that the written word can offer. Each day is a step forward inthis rewarding endeavor.。

英语阅读真题每日一练英语阅读真题每日一练Assertiveness is the ability to confidently express your opinions, feelings, attitudes, and rights, in a way that doesn?t infringe(侵犯) the rights of others.Many of us are taught that it is not nice to consider our own needs above those of others. If someone says or does something that we don?t like, we should just be quiet and try to stay away from that person in the future.Why is Assertiveness important?If you don?t know how to be assertive, you might experience: Depression - Anger, a sense of being helpless, hopeless, or of having no control over your life. oResentment - Anger at others for taking advantage of you. oFrustration - Why did I allow that to happen?Most people find it easier to be assertive in some situations than in others. This makes perfect sense. It?s a lot easier to hold your ground with a stranger than with someone you love. But the more important the relationship is to you, the more important it is to be assertive. Assertive behavior leads to increased respect from others!But before you decide to act assertively, you have to decide if you can live with the results. Although assertive behavior usually will result in a positive response (积极的回应)，some people might react differently.How to be effectively(有效地) assertive: oUse "I" statements. Keep the focus on the problem you?re having. "I?d like to be able to tell my stories without interruption." instead of "You?re always interrupting my stories ! "Use facts, not opinions. "Did you know that shirt has a hole?" instead of "You?re not going out looking like THAT, are you?" oExpress ownership of your thoughts, feelings, and opinions. "I get angry when he breaks his promises. " instead of "He makes me angry.Make clear and direct requirements. Don?t invite the person to say no. "Will you please?" instead of "Would you mind...?" or "Why don?t you...?" oKeep repeating your point. Use a low level and pleasant voice. Don?t try to explain yourself.1. The writer probably agrees that____________.A. you should consider others? response before you act assertivelyB. you should be assertive if you want to get good marksC. assertiveness is the ability to infringe others? rightsD. assertive behavior will bring you bad feelings2. The expression "hold yourground" probably means "_________________"A. reach an agreementB. insist on your pointC. keep your wordD. keep on fighting3. Which of the following helps you to be effectively assertive?A. Explaining yourself in a soft and sweet voice.B. Expressing ownership of others? thoughts.C. Making requirements directly and clearly.D. Using your opinions instead of facts.参考答案：1题A：考查观点态度题。

It provides a coordinated program of investment credits, research grants, education reforms, and tax changes designed to make American industry more competitive. This is necessary to reverse the economic slide into unemployment, lack of growth, and trade deficits that have plagued the economy for the past six years.T he most liberal wing of the President’s party has called for stronger and more direct action. They want an incomes policy to check inflation while federal financing helps rebuild industry behind a wall of protective tariffs.The Republicans, however, decry even the modest, graduated tax increases in the President’s program. They want tax cuts and more open market. They say if federal money has to be injected into the economy, let it through defence spending.Both these alternatives ignore the unique nature of the economic problem before us. It is not simply a matter of markets or financing. The new technology allows vastly increased production for those able to master it. But it also threatens those who fail to adopt it with permanent second-class citizenship in the world economy. If an industrycannot lever itself up to the leading stage of technological advances, then it will not be able to compete effectively. If it cannot do this, no amount of government protectionism or access to foreign markets can keep it profitable for long. Without the profits and experience of technological excellence to reinvest, that industry can only fall still further behind its foreign competitors.So the crux is the technology and that is where the President’s program focused. The danger is not that a plan will not be passed, it is that the ideologues of right and left will distort the bill with amendments that will blur its focus on technology. The economic restructuring plan should be passed intact. If we fail to restructure our economy now, we may not get a second chance.1.
