AMy newly-rented small apartment was far away from the centre of London and it was becoming essential for me to find a job, so finally I spent a whole morning getting to town and putting my name down to be considered by London Transport for a job on the underground. They were looking for guards, not drivers. This suited me. I couldn’t drive a car but thought that I could probably guard a train, and perhaps continue to write my poems between stations. The writers Keats and Chekhov had been doctors. T.S. Eliot had worked in a bank and Wallace Stevens for an insurance company. I’d be a subway guard. I could see myself being cheerful, useful, a good man in a crisis. Obviously I’d be overqualified but I was willing to forget about that in return for a steady income and travel privileges —those being particularly welcome to someone living a long way from the city centre.The next day I sat down, with almost a hundred other candidates, for the intelligence test. I must have done all right because after about half an hour’s wait I was sent into another room for a psychological test. This time there were only about fifty candidates. The interviewer sat at a desk. Candidates were signaled forward to occupy the seat opposite him when the previous occupant had been dismissed, after a greater or shorter time. Obviously the long interviews were the more successful ones. Some of the interviews were as short as five minutes. Mine was the only one that lasted a minute and a half.I can remember the questions now: “Why did you leave your last job?〞“Why did you leave your job before that?〞“And the one before that?〞I can’t recall my answers, except that they were short at first and grew progressively shorter. His closing statement, I thought, revealed a lack of sensitivity which helped to explain why as a psychologist, he had risen no higher than the underground railway. “You’ve failed the psychological test and we are unable to offer you a position.〞Failing to get that job was my low point. Or so I thought, believing that the work was easy. Actually, such jobs — being a postman is another one I still desire —demand exactly the sort of elementary yet responsible awareness that the habitual dreamer is least qualified to give. But I was still far short of full self-understanding. I was also short of cash.41.The writer applied for the job chiefly because _________.A.he wanted to work in the centre of LondonB.he could no longer afford to live without oneC.he was not interested in any other available jobD.he had received some suitable training42.The writer thought he was overqualified for the job because _________.A.he often traveled underground B.he had written many poemsC.he could deal with difficult situations D.he had worked in a company 43.The length of his interview meant that _________.A.he was not going to be offered the job B.he had not done well in the intelligence testC.he did not like the interviewer at all D.he had little work experience to talk about44.What does the writer realize now that he did not realize then?A.How unpleasant ordinary jobs can be. B.How difficult it is to be a poet.C.How unsuitable he was for the job. D.How badly he did in the interview. 45.What’s the writer’s opinion of the psychologist?A. He was very aggressive〔有进取心的〕.B. He was unhappy with his job.C. He was quite inefficient.D. He was rather unsympathetic.参考答案41-45 BCACD***************************************************************结束(第篇)We have met the enemy, and he is ours. We bought him at a pet shop. When monkey pox, a disease usually found in the African rain forest, suddenly turns up in children in the American Midwest, it’ s hard not to wonder if the disease that comes from foreign animals is homing in on human beings. “Most of the infections (感染) we think of as human infections started in other animals,〞 says Stephen Morse, director of the Center for Public Health Preparedness at Columbia University.It’ s not just that we’ re going to where the animals are;we’ re also bringing them closer to us. Popular foreign pets have brought a whole new disease to this country.A strange illness killed Is aksen’ s pets, and she now thinks that keeping foreign pets is a bad idea. “I don’ t think it’ s fair to have them as pets when we have such a limited knowledge of them,〞 says Isaksen.“Laws allowing these animals to be brought in from deep forest areas wi thout stricter control need changing,〞says Peter Schantz. Monkey pox may be the_wake up_call. Researchers believe infected animals may infect their owners. We know very little about these new diseases. A new bug (病毒) may be kind at first. But it may develop into something harmful (有害的). Monkey pox doesn’ t look a major infectious disease. But it is not impossible to pass the disease from person to person.[语篇解读] 饲养宠物可能被传染疾病。

American researchers have put together a 700-year record of the rainy seasons, which is expected to provide guidance for experts making weather predictions.Every year, moist 〔潮湿的〕air masses,known as monsoon,produce large amounts of rainfall in India, East Asia, Northern Australia and East Africa. All this wet air is pulled in by a high pressure area over the Indian Ocean and a low pressure area to the south.According to Edward Cook , a weather expert at Columbia University in New York., the complex nature of the climate systems across Asia makes monsoons hard to predict. In addition, climate records for the area are too recent and not detailed enough to be of much use. Therefore, he and a team of researchers spent more than fifteen years traveling across Asia, looking for trees old enough to provide long-term records. They measured the rings, or circles, inside thousands of ancient trees in more than 300 places.Rainfall has a direct link to the growth and width of rings on some kinds of trees. The researchers developed a document they are calling a Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas. It shows the effect of monsoons over seven centuries, beginning in the 1300s.Professor Cook says the tree-ring records show periods of wet and dry weather. “If the monsoon basically fa ils or is a very weak one, the trees affected by monsoons at that location might put on a very narrow ring. But if the monsoon is very strong, the trees affected by that monsoon might put on a wide ring for that year. So, the wide and narrow ring widths of the chronology that we developed in Asia provide us with a measure of monsoon variability.〞 With all this information, researchers say they can begin to improve computer climate models for predicting the behavior of monsoons.“There has been widespread fa mine and starvation and human dying in the past in large droughts. And on the other hand, if the monsoon is particularly heavy, it can cause extensive flooding.〞said Eugene Wahl, a scientist with America’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. “So, to get a sense of what the regional moisture patterns have been, dryness and wetness over such a long period of time in great detail, I would call it a kind of victory for climate science.〞55.What’sthe passage mainly about?A. The effects of Asian monsoons.B. The necessity of weather forecast.C. The achievements of Edward cook.D. A breakthrough in monsoon prediction.56. It is difficult for experts to predict Asian monsoons because_________A. it is hard to keep long-term climate records.B. they are formed under complex climate systems.C. they influence many nations.D. there is heavy rainfall in Asia.57. What can be inferred from the passage?A. Long and details climate records can offer useful information for monsoon research.B. The Monsoon Asia Drought Atlas has a monsoon record for about 1,300 years.C. The trees affected by monsoon grow fast if the monsoon is weak.D. The rainfall might be low although the monsoon is strong in monsoon-affected areas.58. According to Professor Cook, the rings of the trees ____________A. determine the regional climate.B. have a great influence on the regional climate.C. offer people information about the regional climate.D. reflect all kinds of regional climate information.59. What do we know about the research according to Eugene Wahl?A. It is a great achievement in climate science.B. It should include information about human life in the past.C. It has analysed moisture models world wide,D. It will help people prevent droughts and floods.60. Which of the following best describes the tone of this passage?A. Matter-of –factB. PessimisticC.

浙江省湖州市2014高考英语阅读理解一轮(暑假)精炼(1)含答案阅读理解[ AWe live in an age of unprecedented(空前的) opportunity: If you’ve got ambition, drive, and smarts, you can rise to the top of your chosen profession—regardless of where you started out from. But nowadays companies aren’t managing their knowledge workers’careers. Rather, we must each be our own chief executive officer. Only when you operate from a combination of your strengths and self-knowledge can you achieve true and lasting excellence.To build a life of excellence, begin by asking yourself these questions: “What Are My Strengths?”To accurately identify your strengths, use feedback analysis. Every time you make a key decision, write down the outcome you expect. Several months later, compare the actual results with your expected results. Look for patterns in what you are seeing: What results are you skilled at generating? What unproductive habits are preventing you from creating the outcomes you desire? In identifying opportunities for improvement, don’t waste time developing skill areas where you have little competence. Instead, concentrate on and build on your strengths.“What Are My Values?”What are your ethics(道德标准)? What do you see as your most important responsibilities for living a worthy, ethical life? Do your organization’s ethics resonate(共鸣) with your own values? If not, your career will be likely to be marked by frustration and poor performance.“Where Do I Belong?”Consider your strengths, preferred work style, and values. Based on these qualities, what kind of work environment would you fit it best? Find the perfect fit, and you’ll transform yourself from a merely acceptable employee into a starperformer.“What Can I Contribute?”In earlier eras, companies told businesspeople what their contribution should be. Today, you have choices. To decide how you can best improve your organization’s performance, first ask what the situation requires. Based on your strengths, work style, and values, how might you make the greatest contribution to your organization’s efforts?1. The following steps are all the ways to find and improve your strengths EXCEPT_________.A. writing down your expectationsB. comparing the actual resultsC. finding out your advantagesD. developing your disadvantages2. Which of the following comments is NOT true?A. People should find results they are skilled at generating.B. Processing information by hearing others discuss is the most effective way of working.C. People who work in one team should have similar ethics.D. The fit working environment can help the workers work more efficiently.3. What can lead to a life of excellence?A. Self-pity and powers.B. Ambition and smarts.C. Self-awareness and strengths.D. Motives and self-knowledge.4. How might you make the greatest contribution to your organization’s efforts?A. Do what is needed.B. Identify your own strengths.C. Work in your own way.D. Obey the companies’ rules.1---4、DBCA**********************************************************结束社会生活类--- [2012·山东卷]San Francisco has its cable cars. Seattle has its Space Needle. And, Longview has its squirrel bridge. The bridge, which has attracted international attention, is now a local landmark.The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in 1963 by a local builder, Amos Peters, to give squirrels a way to cross the busy road without getting flattened by passing cars.The original bridge was built over Olympia Way on the west edge of the library grounds. Before the bridge was built, squirrels had to avoid traffic to and from the Park Plaza office building where office staff put out a nutty feast for the squirrels. Many times, Peters and others who worked in and near Park Plaza witnessed squirrels being run over.One day Peters found a dead squirrel with a nut still in its mouth, and that day's coffee break discussion turned into squirrel safety. The group of businessmen cooked up the squirrel bridge idea and formed a committee to ask the blessing of the City Council(市政会). The Council approved, and Councilwoman Bess LaRiviere jokingly named the bridge “Nutty Narrows. ”After architects designed the bridge, Amos Peters and Bill Hutch started construction. They built the 60­foot bridge from aluminum and lengths of fire hose (消防水带). It cost $1,000.It didn't take long before reports of squirrels using the bridge started. Squirrels were even seen guiding their young and teaching_them_the_ropes. The story was picked up by the media, and Nutty Narrows became known in newspapers all over the world.In 1983, after 20 years of use, Peters took down the worn­out bridge. Repairs were made and crosspieces were replaced. The faded sign was repainted and in July 1983, hundreds of animal lovers attended the completion ceremony of the new bridge.Peters died in 1984, and a ten­foot wooden squirrel sculpture was placed near the bridge in memory of its builder and his devotion to the project.67. The Nutty Narrows Bridge was built in order to ________.A. offer squirrels a place to eat nutsB. set up a local landmarkC. help improve trafficD. protect squirrels68. What happened over the coffee break discussion?A. The committee got the Council's blessing.B. The squirrel bridge idea was born.C. A councilwoman named the bridge.D. A squirrel was found dead.69. What does the underlined phrase “teaching them the ropes” probably mean in the text?A. Passing them a rope.B. Directing them to store food for winter.C. Teaching them a lesson.D. Showing them how to use the bridge.70. Which of the following is true of the squirrel bridge?A. It was replaced by a longer one.B. It was built from wood and metal.C. It was rebuilt after years of use.D. It was designed by Bill Hutch.71. What can we learn about Amos Peters?A. He is remembered for his love of animals.B. He donated $1,000 to build the bridge.C. He was a member of the City Council.D. He was awarded a medal for building the bridge.【要点综述】文章主要讲述了Amos Peters观察到松鼠在觅食时遇到交通带来的危险,他还看到一只死了的松鼠嘴里还含着食物,他设想要为松鼠们设计一个能保证它们安全的桥。

APeople in the United States honor their parents with two special days: Mother’s Day, on the second Sunday in May, and Father’s Day, on the third Sunday in June. These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care. These two days offer a chance to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with child-care.These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother’s Day people wear carnations. A. red one stands for a living mother. A. white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services(宗教仪式)to honor parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit their graves. On these days, families get together at home and in restaurants. They often have outdoor BBQs for Father’s Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the val ue of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephones companies and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays.1. Which is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents?A. Parents bring childrenB. Parents give love and care to childrenC. Parents educate children to be good persons.D. Parents pass away before children grow up2. What do you know from the passage?A. Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are both in May.B. Fewer women worked outside the home in the pastC. Not all the children respect their parentsD. Fathers are not as important as mothers at home3. Which do you think is right about “carnation”?A. It only has two kinds of color.B. It is a special kind of clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.D. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May.4. What do you think “florists” do?A. They sell flowersB. They made bread or pastryC. They offer enough room for having family parties.D. They sell special clothes for Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.1— 4、 DBCA*******************************************************结束社会生活类---(一)[2012·宁夏六校联考]In 1986,when Carlo Petrini first coined the term “Slow Food,” he organized locally in his native Italy to preserve the food and wine culture and protest fast food.Today, slow food has spread to 132 countries with over 85, 000 members, addressing worldwide issues like farmer equity and environmental_stewardship—the actions people take to respect the rights of all living things and all environments, to contribute to healthy and livablecommunities.Characterized by Slow Food International as “good, clean, and fair food,” slow food must enrich the eaters' life,have no negative impact on human or environmental health,and compensatefairly for food producers' work.The average American meal travels about 1,500 miles to its final destination, with producing of food traveling by plane from overseas and other items shippedacross the country.However,cost for food travel and heavy processing are not the only problems in the foodindustry that the environment faces. Industrial agriculture also has unsustainable practices likeinefficient water use and decreased biodiversity. Our ideas in feeding ourselves are exceptional,but at various points our technologies come into conflict with nature's ways of doing things. A great many of the health and environmental problems created by our food system owe to our attempts tooversimplify natures complexities, at both the growing and the eating ends of our food chain.“Slowing” food, by purchasing locally and sustainably, allows consumers to reduce theimpact of “food miles” and develo p a closer relationship with their food producers.“ We need tochange our food system,” said David Prior, organizer of Slow Food Nation Eat­In. “Our currentfood system is sick and we need to support farmers and agriculture to ensure that everyone has therig ht to nutritious food.”36.The main idea of the passage can be summarized as________.A.why slow food is so importantB.the food and wine culture is rich in ItalyC.what you're eating always travels a long wayD.slow food makes the current food system sick37.According to the second paragraph, “environmental stewardship”refers to________.A.measures of environmental protectionsB.ways to establish healthy and livable communitiesC.people's admiration for all the creatures on the earthD.actions to protect the rights of all living things and environment38.Slow food's characteristic doesn't lie in________.A.improving the quality of eaters' lifeB.providing a fair pay for food workersC.being friendly to human and environmental healthD.developing a loose relationship with food producers39.What is David Prior's attitude towards current food system?A.Suspicious.

Confused, I glanced toward my stonefaced teacher. Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself. “What cculd be causing everyone to act this way ”Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task. This was the first real task I received in my new school. It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find informationabout a man named George Washington. Sincemy idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before. As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America.I stared at the screen, wondering whichone my teacher meant. I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice: flip(掷)a coin. Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy. Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver.Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost. Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong. As a classmat e began his report, it all became clear,“My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution.” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?Obviously, my grade was awful. Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around. I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No redos; no new grade. I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance. Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year. Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster's office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation. I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as theheadmaster informed me of my opinion to skip the sixth grade. Justice is sweet!60.What did the author,s classmates think about his report?A. Controversial.B. Ridiculous.C. Boring.D. Puzzling.61.Why was the author confused about the task?A.He was unfamiliar with American history.B.He followed the advice and flipped a coin.C.He forgot his teacher,s instruction.D.He was new at the school.62.The underlined word“burning”in Para. 3 probably means .

省市高考英语阅读理解〔暑假〕训练〔5〕及答案It came as something of a surprise when Diana, Princess of Wales, made a trip to Angola in 1997, to support the Red Cross’s campaign for a total ban on allanti-personnel landmines. Within hours of arriving in Angola, television screens around the World were filled with images of her comforting victims injured in explosions caused by landmines. “I knew the statistics,〞she said. “But putting a face to those figures brought the reality home to me; like When I met Sandra, a 13-year-old girl who had lost her leg, and people like her.〞The Princess concluded, with a simple message: “We must stop landmines〞. And she used every opportunity during her visit to repeat this message.But, back in London, her views were not shared by some members of the British government, which refused to support a ban on these weapons. Angry politicians launched an, attack on the Princess in the press. They described her as “veryill-informed〞and a “loose cannon (乱放炮的人).〞The Princess responded by bru shing aside the criticisms: “This is a distraction (干扰) we do not need. All I’m trying to do is help.〞Opposition parties, the media and the Public immediately voiced their support for the Princess. To make matters worse for the government, it soon emerged that the Princess’s trip had been approved by the Foreign Office, and that she was in fact very well-informed about both the situation in Angola and the British government’s policy regarding landmines. The result was a severe embarrassment for the government.To try and limit the damage, the Foreign Secretary, Malcolm Rifkind, claimed that the Princess’s views on landmines were not very different from government policy, and that it was “working towards〞 a worldwide ban. The Defense Secretary, Michael Portillo, claimed the matter was “a misinterpretation or misunderstanding.〞For the Princess, the trip to this war-torn country was an excellent opportunity to use her popularity to show the world how much destruction and suffering landminescan cause. She said that the experience had also given her the Chance to get closer to people and their problems.17. Princess Diana paid a visit to Angola in 1997 ________.A. to voice her support for a total ban of landminesB. to clarify the British govern ment’s stand on landminesC. to investigate the sufferings of landmine victims thereD.to establish her image as a friend of landmine victims18. What did Diana mean when she said “... putting a face to those figuresbrought the reality home to me〞 (Line 5, Para. 1)?A. She just couldn’t bear to meet the landmine victims face to face.B. The actual situation in Angola made her feel like going back home.C.Meeting the landmine victims in person made her believe the statistics.D.Seeing the pain of the victims made her realize the seriousness of the situation.19. What did Princess Diana think of her visit to Angola?A.It had caused embarrassment to the British government.B. It had brought her closer to the ordinary people.C.It had greatly promoted her popularity.D. It had affected her relations with the British government.20. How did Diana respond to the criticisms?A. She paid no attention to them.B. She made more appearances on TV.C.She met the 13-year-old girl as planned.D. She rose to argue with her opponents.参考答案ADBA****************************************************************结束Psychiatrists (精神病专家) who work with older parents say that maturity can be an asset in child raising—older parents are more thoughtful, use less physical discipline and spend more time with their children. But raising kids takes money and energy. Many older parents find themselves balancing their limited financial resources, declining energy and failing health against the growing demands of an active child. Dying and leaving young children is probably the older parents’ biggest, and often unspoken, fear. Having late-life children, says an economics professor, often means parents, particularly fathers, “end up retiring mu ch later.〞 For many, retirement becomes an unobtainable dream.Henry Metcalf a 54-year-old journalist, knows it takes money to raise kids. But he’s also worried that his energy will give out first. Sure, he can still ride bikes with his athletic fifth g rader, but he’s learned that young at heart doesn’t mean young. Lately he’s been taking afternoon naps (午睡) to keep up his energy. “My body is aging,〞says Metcalf. “You can’t get away from that.〞Often, older parents hear the ticking of another kind of biological clock. Therapists who work with middle-aged and older parents say fears about aging are nothing to laugh at. “They worry they’ll be mistaken for grandparents, or that they’ll need help getting up out of those little chairs in nursery school,〞 says Joann Galst, a New York psychologist. But at the core of those little fears there is often a much bigger one: “that they won’t be alive long enough to support and protect their child,〞 she says.Many late-life parents, though, say their children came at just the right time. After marrying late and undergoing years of fertilily (受孕) treatment, Marilyn Nolen and her husband, Randy, had twins. “We both wanted children,〞 says Marilyn, who was 55 when she gave birth. The twins have given the couple what they desired for years, “a sense of family.〞 Kids of older dads are often smarter, happier and more sociable because their fathers are more involved in their lives. “The dads are older, more mature,〞says Dr. Silber, “and more ready to focus on parenting.〞13. What does the author mean by saying “For many, retirement becomes an unobtainabledream〞〔Paragraph 1〕?A. They are reluctant to retire when they reach their retirement age.B. They can’t obtain the retirement benefits they have dreamed of.C. They can’t get full pension unless they work some extra years.D. They have to go on working beyond their retirement age.14. The author gives the example of Henry Metcalf to show that ________ .A. older parents should exercise more to keep up with their athletic childrenB. many people are young in spirit despite their advanced ageC. older parents tend to be concerned about their aging bodiesD. taking afternoon naps is a good way to regain energy15. What’s the biggest fear of older par ents according to New York psychologist JoanGalst?A. Approaching of death.B. Slowing down of their pace of life.C. Being laughed at by other people.D. Being mistaken for grandparents.13—15、 DCA*******************************************************结束〔BBC〕The "father of the personal computer" who kick-started the careers of Microsoft founders Bill Gates and Paul Allen has died at the age of 68.Dr Henry Edward Roberts was the inventor of the Altair 8800, a machine that led to the home computer age.Gates and Allen contacted Dr Roberts after seeing the machine on the front cover of a magazine and offered to write software for it. The program was known as Altair-Basic, the foundation of Microsoft's business. "Ed was willing to take a chance on us - two young guys interested in computers , and we have always been thankful to him," the Microsoft founders said in a statement.Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak told technology website CNET that Dr Roberts had taken " a critically important step that led to everything we have today".Dr Roberts was the founder of Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems (MITS), originally set up to sell electronics parts to model rocket hobbyists. The company went on to sell electronic calculator parts, but was soon overshadowed by bigger firms.In the mid-1970's, with the firm struggling with debt, Dr Roberts began to develop a computer kit(配套零件) for hobbyists. The result was the Altair 8800. The $395 kit (around £1,000 today) was featured on the cove r of Popular Electronics in 1975, resulting in a flood of orders.Amongst those interested in the machine were Paul Allen and Bill Gates. The pair contacted Dr Roberts, offering to write software that would help people program the machine. The pair finally moved to Albuquerque - the home of MITS - where they founded Micro-Soft, to develop their software.Dr Roberts sold his company in 1977. He died in hospital on 1 April after a long period of pneumonia.(肺炎)13.Why did Dr Roberts probably decide to sell his company?A. Because he was in heavy debt in the mid-1980's .B. Because he wanted to take a chance on Gates and Allen.C. Because he wanted to develop a computer kit for hobbyists.D. Because he had difficulty competing with big companies.14. What do we know about MITS?A. It was set up by Steve Wozniak.B. It sold electronics parts to big firms.C. It is located in Albuquerque.D. It is a technology website.15. We can learn that Popular Electronics is likely to be ____.A. a newspaperB. a magazineC. a WebsiteD. an organization16. What is the best title of this passage?A. The story of the Altair 8800B. The founder of MITSC. Father of the personal computer diedD. The story of Dr Roberts13---16 DCBC*******************************************结束Listen carefully; we would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free! It’s “no〞. What do you ask? We’ll say it again. “No〞. Sweet and simple “no〞.Say “no〞 at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears. “Saying “no〞 to others means you are saying “yes〞 to yourself,〞said Leslie Charles, a professional speaker from East Lansing, Michigan.Susie Watson, a famous w riter, said people who always say “yes〞 need to say “no〞 without guilt 〔内疚〕 or fear of punishment. “I would rather have someone give me a loving ‘no’ than an obligated 〔强制的〕‘yes’〞, she said.Susie Watson says she feels “no〞 obligation to give an explanation when she says “no〞either socially or professionally. Does she feel guilty about it? “Not at all,〞 said Watson, who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middle-bury. “Most people are afraid of saying “no〞. My advice is to say “yes〞only if you don’t mean ‘no’.〞Watson said “no〞is the most effective weapon against wasting time. “Every year there are more demands on your time. Other people are happy to use up your time,〞Watson said. Time saving appears to be “no’s〞 gre atest friend. “No〞 can be your new friend, a powerful tool to take back your life. “No〞 may even take you further in the business world than “yes〞. “No〞is power and strength. “No〞 now seems completely correct. “Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy. But finally it’s gre atlyliberating,〞 Charles said. But, he added, a “no〞 project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term habit.But, he also warns: “Don’t go to extremes. Don’t find yourself saying “no〞to everything. In return you should lear n to hear “no〞.〞13. The underlined part “saying ‘yes’ to yourself〞 in the second paragragh means ________.A. you can have more time to play with othersB. you needn’t care about other’s feeling if you are happyC. you are selfish and treat others rudelyD. you can deal with your business as you have planned14. When you say “no〞 to others you should say it in a ________.A. secret wayB. polite wayC. proud wayD. guilty way15 In Watson’s opinion, people can save mu ch time on condition that ________.A. they say “no〞 at a suitable timeB. they say “no〞 as much as possibleC. they are afraid of saying “no〞D. they make others angry at them16. If a person says “no〞 to everything, the result he or she receives may be thathe or she ________.A. enjoys a wonderful lifeB. makes a lot of moneyC. faces difficulty in lifeD. forgets to say “yes〞 in the end*******************************************************结束。

高考英语阅读理解:暑假练习题〔5〕及答案解析(第 A篇)Four people in England ,back in 1953, stared at Photo 51.It wasn’ t much —a picture showing a black X. But three of these people won the Nobel Prize for figuring out what the photo really showed —the shape of DNA. The discovery brought fame and fortune to scientists James Watson, Francis Crick,and Maurice Wilkins. The fourth, the one who actually made the picture, was left out.Her name was Rosalind Franklin. “She should have been up there,〞 says historian M ary Bowden.“ If her photos hadn’ t been there, the others couldn’ t have come up with the structure.〞 One reason Franklin was missing was that she had died of cancer four years before the Nobel decision.But now scholars doubt that Franklin was not only robbed of her life by disease but robbed of credit by her competitors. At Cambridge University in the 1950s, Watson and Crick tried to make models by cutting up shapes of DNA’ s parts and then putting them together. In the meantime, at King’ s College in London, Franklin and Wilkins shone X rays at the molecule (分子). The rays produced patterns reflec ting the shape.But Wilkins and Franklin’s relationship was a lot rockier than the celebrated teamwork of Watson and Crick. Wilkins thought Franklin was hired to be his assistant. But the college actually employed her to take over the DNA project.What she did was produce X ray pictures that told Watson and Crick that one of their early models was inside out. And she was not shy about saying so. That angered Watson, who attacked her in return,“ Mere inspection suggested that she would not easily bend. Clearly she had to go or be put in her place.〞As Franklin’s competitors, Wilkins, Watson and Crick had much to gain by cutting her out of the little group of researchers, says historian Pnina Abir Am. In 1962 at the Nobel Prize awarding ceremony, Wilkins thanked 13 colleagues by name before he mentioned Franklin. Watson wrote his book laughing at her. Crick wrote in 1974 that “Franklin was only two steps away from th e solution.〞No, Franklin was the solution.“ She contributed more than any other player to solving the structure of DNA. She must be considered a co discoverer,〞 Abir Am says. This was backed up by Aaron Klug, who worked with Franklin and later won a Nobel Prize himself. Once described as the “Dark Lady of DNA〞, Franklin is finally coming into the light.[语篇解读] 谁发现了DNA,仅仅只有James Watson,Francis Crick和Mauric e Wilkins 吗?本文作者告诉我们,功绩也有Rosalind Franklin的一份。

But everything has changed, that is, the clear water and fresh air are nowhere to be found again as they were. Above all, a great deal of waste hardly rots away.______62.More and more people are beginning to have a good knowledge of the importance of a safer and cleaner environment, which in turn forces the business to be cleaned up.______63.Organic products are getting more and more popular among people, but we should know the fact that organic products might also have something to do with pesticides.______64.I`m very much fond of growing some vegetables of my own in my small garden, for many vegetables on sale in markets are actually becoming more and more dangerous as a result of widespread pesticides.______65.Nowadays it is very convenient for consumers to find and buy green food in supermarkets as they are clearly marked.A."Organic produce is always better, "Gold said."The food is free of pesticides(农药) ,and you are generally supporting family farms instead of large farms.And more often than not it is locally grown and seasonal, so it is tastier." Gold is one of a growing number of shoppers buying into the organic trend, and supermarkets across Britain are counting on more like him as they grow their organic food business. B.Market research shows that Gold and others who buy organic food can generally give clear reasons for their preferences - but their knowledge of organic food is far from complete.For example, small amounts of pesticides can be used on organic products.And about three quarters of organic food in Britain is not local but imported to meet growing demand."The demand for organic food is increasing by about one third every year, so it is a very fast-growing market, "said Sue Flock, a specialist in this line of business.C.Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted.Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment-friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem.One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.D.However, today, more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment.Before they buy a product,they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment?" "Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once?"E.Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds.Some supermarket products carry labels(标签) to show that the product is green.Some companies have made the manufacturing(制造) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising. F.The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business.No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure is on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.参考答案六选五:61-65: CFBAE********************************************结束第二卷〔非选择题,共40分〕第一节短文改错〔每题1分,总分值10分〕【】下面短文中有10处语法错误。

Several months ago I was involved in a car accident. That moment 16 my views on life.All my life 1 had been waiting 17 I could get my driver's 18 and my first car. When I 19 got my license and my dad brought the car to the house, I felt very 20 . From that day on, the most 21 thing in my life was that car. Every day I would get home and 22 what else I could do to make it better. My car was my 23 and joy and when 1 had fixed it up into "perfect" condition, I finally began to 24 it. Every time I got into my car I felt the greatest, _ 25 nothing could stop me, but one day I was 46 that just like every other person, I could be broken.One night, though it was too 27 outside to see clearly, I was in the 28 with my friends. I felt unstoppable while driving, 29 soon enough I was shown that I wasn't. While driving down a main street I felt 1 was 30 the car. It was flying. When I 31 what was happening, the only thing I could do was protect my friends from being hurt badly.After the accident I don't remember much, but I do remember the 32 I was in, not only physical but also the thought that the lives of others were 33 for a few seconds and I may have dropped them.

ASometimes, the simplest ideas are the best.For example, to absorb heat from the sun to heat water, you need large, flat, black surfaces.One way to do that is to build those surfaces specially, on the roofs of buildings.But why go to all that trouble when cities are full of black surfaces already, in the form of asphalt (柏油) roads?Ten years ago, this thought came into the mind of Arian de Bondt, a Dutch engineer.He finally persuaded his boss to follow it up.The result is that their building is now heated in winter and cooled in summer by a system that relies on the surface of the road outside.The heat-collector is a system of connected water pipes.Most of them run from one side of the street to the other, just under the asphalt road.Some, however, dive deep into the ground.When the street surface gets hot in summer, water pumped through the pipes picks up this heat and takes it underground through one of the diving pipes.At a depth of 100 meters lies a natural aquifer (蓄水层) into which several heat exchangers (交换器) have been built.The hot water from the street runs through these exchangers, warming the ground-water, before returning to the surface through another pipe.The aquifer is thus used as a heat store.In winter, the working system is changed slightly.Water is pumped through the heat exchangers to pick up the heat stored during summer.This water goes into the building and is used to warm the place up.After performing that task, it is pumpedunder the asphalt and its remaining heat keeps the road free of snow and ice.1.Which of the following is true according to the first two paragraphs?A.Arian de Bondt got his idea from his boss.B.Large, flat, black surfaces need to be built in cities.C.The Dutch engineer's system has been widely used.D.Heat can also be collected from asphalt roads.2.For what purpose are the diving pipes used?A.To absorb heat from the sun. B.To store heat for future use.C.To turn solar energy into heat energy.D.To carry heat down below the surface.3.From the last paragraph we can learn that ________.A.some pipes have to be re-arranged in winterB.the system can do more than warming up the buildingC.the exchangers will pick up heat from the street surfaceD.less heat may be collected in winter than in summer4.What is most likely to be discussed in the paragraph that follows?A.What we shall do if the system goes wrong.B.What we shall do if there are no asphalt roads.C.How the system cools the building in summer.D.How the system collects heat in spring and autumn.参考答案---DDBC******************************************************结束故事类---[2012·浙江卷]As a young boy, I sometimes traveled the country roads with my dad. He was a rural mail carrier, and on Saturdays he would ask me to go with him. Driving through the countryside was always an adventure: There were animals to see, people to visit, and chocolate cookies if you knew where to stop, and Dad did.In the spring, Dad delivered boxes full of baby chickens, and when I was a boyit was such fun to stick your fingers through one of the holes of the boxes and let the baby birds peck on your fingers.On Dad's final day of work, it took him well into the evening to complete his rounds because at least one member from each family was waiting at their mailboxes to thank him for his friendship and his years of service.“Two hundred and nineteen mailboxes on my route,” he used to say, “and a story at every one.” One lady had no mailbox, so Dad took the mail in to her every day because she was nearly blind. Once inside, he read her mail and helped her pay her bills.Mailboxes were sometimes used for things other than mail. One note left in a mailbox read, “Nat, take these eggs to Marian; she's baking a cake and doesn't have any eggs.” Mailboxes might be buried in the snow, or broken, or lying on the ground, but the mail was always delivered. On cold days Dad might find one of his customers waiting for him with a cup of hot chocolate. A young girl wrote letters but had no stamps, so she left a few buttons on the envelope in the mailbox; Dad paid for the stamps. One businessman used to leave large amounts of cash in his mailbox for Dad to take to the bank. Once, the amount came to $32,000.A dozen years ago, when I traveled back to my hometown on the sad occasion of Dad's death, the mailboxes along the way reminded me of some of his stories. I thought I knew them all, but that wasn't the case.As I drove home, I noticed two lamp poles, one on each side of the street. When my dad was around, those poles supported wooden boxes about four feet off the ground. One box was painted green, and the other was red, and each had a long narrow hole at the top with white lettering: SANTA CLAUS, NORTH POLE. For years children had dropped letters to Santa through those holes.I made a turn at the corner and drove past the post office and across the railroad tracks to our house. Mom and I were sitting at the kitchen table when I heard footsteps. There, at the door, stood Frank Townsend, Dad's postmaster and great friend for many years. So we all sat down at the table and began to tell stories.At one point Frank looked at me with tears in his eyes. “What a re we going to do about the letters this Christmas?”he asked.“The letters?”“I guess you never knew.”“Knew what?”“Remember, when you were a kid and you used to put your letters to Santa inthose green and red boxes on Main Street? It was your dad who answered all those letters every ye ar.”I just sat there with tears in my eyes. It wasn't hard for me to imagine Dad sitting at the old oak table in our basement reading those letters and answering each one. I have since spoken with several of the people who received Christmas letters during their childhood, and they told me how amazed they were that Santa had known so much about their homes and families.For me, just knowing that story about my father was the gift of a lifetime.55. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer regarded his travels with Dad as ________.A. great chances to help other peopleB. happy occasions to play with baby chickensC. exciting experiences with a lot of funD. good opportunities to enjoy chocolate cookies56. The writer provides the detail about the businessman to show that ________.A. Dad had a strong sense of dutyB. Dad was an honest and reliable manC. Dad had a strong sense of honorD. Dad was a kind and generous man57. According to the passage, which of the following impressed the writer most?A. Dad read letters for a blind lady for years.B.

What surprised the children most when they received letters in reply from Santa Claus every year?A. Santa Claus lived alone in the cold North Pole.B. Santa Claus answered all their letters every year.C. Santa Claus had unique mailboxes for the children.D. Santa Claus had so much information about their families.60. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. The MailB. Christmas LettersC. Special MailboxesD. Memorable Travels【要点综述】这是一篇感人的叙述亲情的文章,在这里,父亲是一个乡村送信人,这么多年来他都无私地为219个信箱服务,一直到他退休。

AIt was a very different school from those in China. You're not met by imposing doors and concrete walls, and the buildings were inviting. On the front of the main building was inscribed “Lee Elementary School, 1904.” Wow! I knew it was an old school. Surrounding the main building were five trailers(拖车式活动房屋). One of them was my classroom, 5T. The “T” stood for Mrs. Toalson, my 5th grade teacher.Mrs Toalson showed me to my seat. A girl sitting at my table greeted me. Her name was Regina, and she was a blonde girl from Ukraine. Her eyes were like diamonds, and we had met at a party two days before.During my first morning, we had math class, PE and sc ience. We didn’t even have a break! I wondered why? Mrs Toalson said to us: “Guys, line up for the bathroom break please!” All the kids stood up and went outside.I didn’t know what “bathroom break” meant. Was it break time? Lunch time?I was confused. Nevertheless, we followed Mrs. Toalson to the main building. We sat in the hallway across from the bathroom. In Chinese, “bathroom” means the WC, and a “break” means having a rest! Gosh, I thought that was weird and why did we have to go to the bathroom together?“Mary and Regina, you may go.” When we heard Mrs. Toalson, we went into the bathroom. The bathroom was clean, and it smelled like perfume. I asked Regina what if someone wanted to go to the bathroom during class time. She told me that there was a spec ial pass called a “bathroom pass.” All you had to do was raise your hand with the pass to let Mrs. Toalson know you need to go to the bathroom. Then you would be permitted to go.At 3:30pm, school ended for the day. Students put their textbooks in theircabinets and lined up in front of the change room, where they collected their backpacks and coats. As they walked out of the door, each student said “Good bye” and gave Mrs. Toalson a high five.“Did you have a good day today?” Mrs. Toalson asked me as she h ugged me goodbye.“Sure!” I nodded.1 Which is the main difference between the author’s new school and the schools in China?A. There are no imposing doors and concrete walls in her new school.B. The author’s old classroom is a trailer.C. The author’s n ew school is an old one with one-hundred –year history.D. The buildings in her new school are very inviting.2. The underlined phrase “bathroom break” probably means _______.A. the time for taking showerB. the time for going to WC and having a restC. the class interval for washingD. the class break for having a bath3. What does the author think of the first day in her new school?A. Disappointing.B. Satisfying.C. Admiring.D. Doubtful.4. According to the passage, the author wanted to know the answer to the following questions EXCEPT _______.A .what did “bathroom break” mean?B. why didn’t we have a break between lessons?C. why did we have to go the bathroom together?D. why did we have lunch together?5. In the author’s new school, if a s tudent wants to go to WC during the lesson, what does he or she have to do?A. To raise his/her hand to let his/her teacher know.B. To stand up and ask for his/her teacher’s permission.C. To raise his/her hand with “bathroom pass” and ask his/her teacher’spermission.D. To wait until the class is over.ABBDC*********************************************************结束阅读理解、专题训练(**)、如何做好推理判断题(3)◆ 方法点拨做推理判断题时注重从已知推出未知,但在推理过程中千万不要主观臆断,掺杂自己的观点。

◆ 活学活用根据所学技巧,完成下列读写任务The automobile has many advantages. Above all,it offers people freedom to go wherever and whenever they want to go. The basic purpose of a motor vehicle is to get from point A to point B as cheaply,quickly,and safely as possible. However,to most people,cars are also personal fantasy machines that serve as symbols of power,success,speed,excitement,and adventure.In addition,much of the world's economy is built on producing motor vehicles and supplying roads,services,and repairs for those vehicles. Half of the world's paychecks are auto related. In the United States,one of every six dollars spent and one of every six non­farm jobs are connected to the automobile or related industries,such as oil,steel,rubber,plastics,automobile services,and highway construction.In spite of their advantages,motor vehicles have many harmful effects on human lives and on air,water,land,and wildlife resources. The automobile may be the most destructive machine ever invented. Though we tend to deny it,riding in cars is one of the most dangerous things we do in our daily lives.Since 1885,when Karl Benz built the first automobile,almost 18 million people have been killed by motor vehicles. Every year,cars and trucks worldwide kill an average of 250,000 people-as many as were killed in the atomic bomb attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki-and injure or permanently disable ten million more. Half of the world's people will be involved in an auto accident at some time during theirlives.Since the automobile was introduced,almost three million Americans have been killed on the highways-about twice the number of Americans killed on the battlefield in all U.S.wars. In addition to the tragic loss of life,these accidents cost American society about $ 60 billion annually in lost income and in insurance(保险),administrative(行政的),and legal expenses.Streets that used to be for people are now for cars. Pedestrians and people riding bicycles in the streets are subjected to noise,pollution,stress,and danger.Motor vehicles are the largest source of air pollution,producing a haze of smog over the world's cities. In the United States,they produce at least 50% of the country's air pollution.Ⅰ.根据短文,写一篇30~50词左右的摘要__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Ⅱ.根据所读短文,选出最佳答案1.Cars represent people' s ________.A.occupation B.identityC.life style D.fame2.According to the passage,the average number of people killed annually in traffic accidents around the worldis__________________________________________________________________.A.18 millionB.250,000C.half of the world's populationD.60 million3.A serious environmental problem resulting from automobiles is ________.A.tragic loss of life B.traffic jamsC.air pollution D.mental stress4.It can be inferred from this passage thatautomobiles________________________________________________________.A.are an important part of the world ' s economyB.are becoming less dangerousC.will produce less air pollution in the futureD.are killing more people in recent years than in the past5.The title that suits the passage best is ________.A.Automobile and EconomyB.Automobile and the EnvironmentC.The Problems with the AutomobileD.Advantages and Disadvantages of the Automobile参考答案ⅠAutomobiles have both advantages and disadvantages.

KEDS/VANSSlip-on shoes with elastic(弹性的)sides are particularly popular among teenage boys-with Keds and Vans the most sought-after brands.The main problem is that they are just too flat—so flat that the heel, which strikes the ground first, also becomes damaged and painful.BALLET PUMPSThe worst shoes of all are such light and thin dolly shoes. The problem is partly their flatness, as with Keds and Vans. However ballet pumps, which have no stringor heel, have other specific problems.“As the shoe has no fastening device, it relies on the toes to keep the shoe on, causing an awkward gait(步法),this leads to short-and long-term problems such as calluses(茧子),heel and knee pain.”WEDGES AND STILETTOSThese shoes can also cause problems with gait, They may look good, but the heels on these are so high they can force the wea rer’s body weight forward, making them very unstable.Teens who wear these shoes regularly are also in danger of joining those millions of women with constant back pain.SCHOOL SHOESSo what do podiatrists(足科医生)have on their wish list, especially for everyday wear?Something in a natural, breathable fabric, with a string to hold it on, with a small heel and a deep toe-box that does not press the toes, such as Clark’s, Marks & Spencer or Rhino.If your teen insists on wearing ‘bad’ shoes, get them some simple foot orthotics(矫形器)in the shoes. These support and correct the movement of the foot and, properly fitted by a podiatrist, can often transform their walk and halt the damage.6 . Of all the shoes mentioned in the passage, which can cause the worst problems?A. Marks & Spencer.B. Wedges & Stilettos.C. Keds and Vans.D. Ballet Pumps.7. Which pair of shoes may not be found on the podiatrists’ wish list?A. B. C. D.8. The underlined word “halt” in the last paragraph probably meansA. increaseB. worsenC. stopD. cure9. From this passage we can infer .A. trendy shoes may ruin teenagers’ healthB. fashionable shoes all have orthotics in themC. experts are strongly against wearing popular shoesD. podiatrists are expert at producing branded shoes10. In which column of Mail Online can you find this passage?A. Sports .B. Science.C. Health.D. Shopping.DBCAC**********************************************************结束CThe first and best of victories is for a man to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful, says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many a friend. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad. Keep cool, says George Herbert, for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. Anger, says Pythagoras, brings with folly ( 愚蠢 ) and ends with regret. You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-cont rol is man’s last greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can haveno patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking also.11. What does the reader learn from the first paragraph?A. The greatest victory for a man is to conquer everything except himself.B. One’s moral freedom is based on the control of himself.C. To control oneself is the most difficult in one’s life.D. If a person is too stubborn, he will feel most shameful.12. What is the correct interpretation of “Whom the gods would destroy they first make mad ” in paragraph 2 ?A. If the gods want to kill you, they make you crazy first.B. If you always lose your temper, you will soon be finished.C. If you cannot control yourself, you will become crazy.D. If you are mad, you will be punished by the gods.13. If a man lacks self-control, he lacks all of the following EXCEPT _______.A. the very backbone and nerve of characterB. the patience and power to control himselfC. strong feelingsD. self-confidence14. The author’s main purpose in writing this article is to _______.A. explain that self-control is the key to successB. teach people how to control everything in order to make a great successC. distinguish all kinds of self-control and suggest ways for keeping itD. advise people not to lose temper so as to make and keep more friends15. The passage is mainly developed by _____.A. analyzing causesB. making comparisonsC. examining differencesD. listing quotationsBBCAD*******************************************************结束DThere is nothing in the Hippocratic Oath that tells doctors what to do when they make a mistake with a patient. Nor is there much on this subject in medical school curriculums or in training programs.But there should be.Much was made of the Institute of Medicine’s 1999 report that 44,000 to 98,000 people die each year in hospitals from preventable medical errors, many of them made by doctors.The report stated much first-hand information to address the problem, but there was little discussion about how doctors, when they have made mistakes, should deal with their patients,Everyone assumes that the ever-present threat of accusation has made doctors more anxious about admitting error, and no doubt it has, But doctors have always been tight-lipped about their mistakes, in part to preserve an illusion(幻觉,错误的信仰) of medical omnipotence(全能)Studies suggest that patients are less likely to accuse doctors when they apologize for mistakes, and many hospitals now encourage their physicians to admit their errors. According to an supportive group called The Sorry Works! Coalition, 16 states have already passed laws giving doctors legal immunity(饶恕) for their apologies to patients.Of course, there are plenty of doctors with a nice bedside manner who can get away with bad treatment. How else to explain patients who often line up in court to support doctors accused of malpractice(失职)?The surprising truth is that many patients have a hard time knowing whether they are really getting good medical care.Because so many diseases change randomly over time, patients sometimes spontaneously(自发的) improve despite improper treatment. On the other hand, a patient who receives exemplary medical care may fare badly(情况不好) simply becausethe illness is hard to treat. In other words, doctors are often praised or blamed, when the outcome is in fact a chance event.Many, perhaps even most, medical errors probably have little ill effect and go unnoticed by patients. Many lawyers would disagree, but doctors ought to let their patients know when they’ve made a mistake; it humanizes them and bu ilds trust.16.
