For millions of thecountry’s migrant workers it’s their only holiday. Some two billion journeys were made during the festival last year, making it the largest migration of people on the planet.

Unit 17 LaughterⅠ.阅读理解ANowadays, it seems that everybody wants to be a leader. Countless books about how to manage a company or influence others fill bookstores. But one needn't be a CEO or Politician to be a leader. Former U. S. President John Adams s aid, “If your action inspires others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.”The key to becoming such a leader lies in character. People follow only those whom they respect, trust and admire. What attractive traits does such a leader have? Below are five of the most important.Leaders have courageThe New York firefighters who ran into the burning World Trade Tower to rescue others are modernday models of courage. Yet even more than physical courage, the everyday demands of modern life require moral courage. Insisting on doing the right thing despite pressure to act otherwise takes such courage.Leaders must face fear and doubt in many of the decisions they make. Having these feelings doesn't mean one isn't courageous. After all, courage is not the absence of fear. Rather, it's doing the right thing despite one's fears.Leaders are humbleBeing humble simply means having an accurate view of one's own limitations. Everybody has limitations. Leaders deal with theirs by seeking help from others.When leaders seek help, they recognize the skills that order other people bring to the table. And when they are successful, leaders generously praise all who contributed to the success. Humble leaders don't promote themselves; they promote others.Learning is a lifelong goal, no matter one's position. Humble leaders are never too proud to learn from all sources of knowledge—even those under them.Leaders serve othersJust Christ said,“If anyone wants to be first, he must be the very last, a nd the servant of all.” Leaders serve others and put the needs of others beforethemselves. They make the good of everyone on the team a personal priority.Leaders who serve others help the whole team accomplish more. Leaders do things to make sure everybody has the resources needed. They go the extra mile to help out during a busy rush. When leaders serve, followers are also encouraged to serve each other.Leaders have passionMoney or success can motivate someone to show up for an activity. But what motivates one to really put his heart into something? The answer is passion—the feeling that the activity is significant.Outstanding leaders inspire others because they are motivated by passion for what they do. Leaders show the significance of routine work to others by emphasizing the big picture. They demonstrate how an activity not only benefits the individual, but also one's family, community and entire society. Their passion ignites the passion of others.Leaders have integrityOne's integrity can be measured by what one does when nobody is looking. Leaders practice what they preach all the time, not just in the presence of others. Leaders also set the example for integrity. If a leader values being punctual, he arrives early.Leadership is more about who you are than what you know or can do. By following these principles, you can become a better person. And that in turn will make you a better leader.文章大意:本文是一篇说明文。

入舵市安恙阳光实验学校高考题型提能练十七Unit 17 LaughterⅠ.阅读理解A“Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.“Have_a_nice_day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I'm terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”The expression can be pleasan t. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heartwarming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.1.How does the author understand Maxie's words?A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.D.Maxie really worries about the author's security.2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A.The salesgirl is rude.B.The salesgirl is bored.C.The salesgirl cares about me.D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.3.By saying “Have a nice day”, a stranger may________.A.try to be polite to youB.express respect to youC.give his blessing to youD.share his pleasure with you4.What is the best title of the passage?A.Have a Nice Day — a Social CustomB.Have a Nice Day — a Pleasant GestureC.Have a Nice Day —a Heartwarming GreetingD.Have a Nice Day — a Polite Ending of a ConversationB(2016·校际检测)“Friendly doctors are bad for their patients' health,” researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like.Blurring (使……变得模糊不清) the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects.“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook, and they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names,” regulators have warned. “Th ose who break the boundaries will face some punishment.”It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists (肿瘤学家) under the age of 40, finding 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they like. Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients, it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person's care.Lesley Fallowfield of Brighton and Sussex Medical School said:“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously reward ing but is filled with many challenges. Young oncologists have to master the means of dealing with anxious patients who are facing a lifethreatening disease, conveying the true prognosis (预断), discussing the complexity of modern treatments, and explaining the unavailability of some drugs, the side effects of treatments, and likely treatment aims.”But she also said, “Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of ‘the Internet world’ are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries wi th patients.”She said,“The difficulty, if you hug and kiss patients, if you allow them to call you by your first name, is that quickly the relationship can become confusing as a social one rather than a professional one. Doctors become confused, ‘I really like these people, how can I bear to tell them that they're going to die?’ They find it more difficult to be objective.”5.Why are friendly doctors bad for their patients' health?A.Because they don't like to cheat patients.B.Because they are not good at treating patients.C.Because they find it not easy to be objective to the patients.D.Because they seldom blur the relationship with patients.6.What should doctors do according to the regulators?A.Add patients as friends on Facebook.B.Have a close connection with patients in life.C.Always be cold to patients.D.Keep patients at a proper distance.7.Young oncologists will face the following challenges EXCEPT________.A.dealing with a lot of lifethreatening diseasesB.discussing difficulties of treatments with patientsC.explaining the unavailability of some medicinesrming patients of the possible results of the treatments。

高考英语阅读理解精英系列训练题(17)及答案
2014高考英语阅读理解精英系列训练题(17)及答案【河北省易县第二高级中学2013三模】CIt happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US President. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words,“a wonderfully written book.” However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about readinga book which they haven’t. In The World Book Day survey, Dreams From My Father is at number9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding.Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in-depth!The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named JK Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King. Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.So which books have you lied about reading — if any — and which is your favorite?64.The main reason why people lie about reading is to __________.A. make fun of the listenerB. impress the listenerC. please the listenerD. interest the listener65.The underlined word“proceeded”in the passage probably means“___________”.A. wantedB. happenedC. continuedD. stopped66.What is the best title for the passage?A. Are You A Book Liar?B. Readers Are All LiarsC. World Book DayD.

AR定位,找到倒数第一段,从AR的话中,第一句for conservation purpose, 最后一句for conservation purpose确定A70.文章首句点明全文主旨,答案:C4.(2011·江西卷)DWhy should mankind explore space? Why should money, time and effort be spent exploring and researching something with so few apparent benefits? Why should resources be spent on space rather than on conditions and people on Earth? These are questions that, understandably, are very often asked.Perhaps the best answer lies in our genetic makeup(基因构成) as human beings. What drove our ancestors to move from the trees into the plains, and on into all possible areas and environments? The wider the spread of a species, the better its chance of survival. Perhaps the best reason for exploring space is this genetic tendency to expand wherever possible.Nearly every successful civilization has explored, because by doing so, any dangers in surrounding areas can be identified and prepared for. Without knowledge, we may be completely destroyed by the danger. With knowledge, we can lessen its effects.Exploration also allows minerals and other potential (潜在的) resources to be found. Even if we have no immediate need of them, they will perhaps be useful later. Resources may be more than physical possessions. Knowledge or techniques have been acquired through exploration. The techniques may have medical applications which can improve the length or quality of our lives. We have already benefited from other spin-offs including improvements in earthquake prediction,in satellites for weather forecasting and in communications systems. Even non-stick pans and mirrored sunglasses are by-products (副产品) of technological developments in the space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While many resources are spent on what seems a small return, the exploration of space allows creative, brave and intelligent members of our species to focus on what may serve to save us. While space may hold many wonders and explanations of how the universe was formed or how it works, it also holds dangers. The danger exists, but knowledge can help human being to survive. Without the ability to reach out across space, the chance to save ourselves might not exist.While Earth is the only planet known to support life, surely the adaptive ability of humans would allow us to live on other planets. It is true that the lifestyle would be different, but human life and cultures have adapted in the past and surely could in the future.71. Why does the author mention the questions in Paragraph1?A. To express his doubts.B. To compare different ideas.C. To introduce points for discussion.D. To describe the conditions on Earth.72. What is the reason for exploring space based on Paragraph2?A. Humans are nature-born to do so.B. Humans have the tendency to fight.C. Humans may find new sources of food.D. Humans don’t like to stay in the same place.73. The underlin ed word“spin-offs” in Paragraph 4 probably refers to______.A. survival chancesB. potential resourcesC. unexpected benefitsD. physical possessions74. What makes it possible for humans to live on other planets?A. O u r genetic makeup.B. Resources on the earth..C. The adaptive ability of humans.D. By-products in space exploration.75. Which of the statements can best sum un the passage?A. Space exploration has created many wonders.B. Space exploration provided the best value for money.C. Space exploration may help us avoid potential problems on Earth.解析:71. 推理判断题。

高考英语阅读理解精英训练极品题(17)及答案[ 高考]
2014高考英语阅读理解精英训练极品题(17)及答案阅读理解-------CIf you want to stay young, sit down and have a good think. This is the research finding of a team of Japanese doctors, who say that most of our brains are not getting enough exercise—and as a result, we are ageing unnecessarily soon.Professor Taiju Matsuzawa wanted to find out why otherwise healthy farmers in northern Japan appeared to be losing their ability to think and reason at a relatively early age, and how the process of ageing could be slowed down.With a team of colleagues at Tokyo National University, he set about measuring brain volumes of a thousand people of different ages and varying occupations.Computer technology enabled the researchers to obtain precise measurements of the volume of the front and side sections of the brain, which relate to intellect (智能) and emotion, and determine the human character. (The rear section of the brain, which controls functions like eating and breathing, does not contract with age, and one can continue living without intellectual or emotional faculties.)Contraction of front and side parts—as cells die off—was observed I some subjects in their thirties, but it was still not evident in some sixty- and seventy-year-olds.Matsuzawa concluded from his tests that there is a simple remedy to the contraction normally associated with age—using the head.The findings show in general terms that contraction of the brain begins sooner in people in the country than in the towns. Those least at risk, says Matsuzawa, are lawyers, followed by university professors and doctors. White collar workers doing routine work in government offices are, however, as likely to have shrinking brains as the farm worker, bus driver and shop assistant.Matsuzawa’s findings show that thinking can prevent the brain from shrinking. Blood must circulate properly in the head to supply the fresh oxygen the brain cells need. “The best way to maintain good blood circulation is through using the brain,” he says, “Think hard and engage in conversation. Don’t rely on pocket calculators.”36. The team of doctors wanted to find out ________.A. why certain people age sooner than othersB. how to make people live longerC. the size of certain people’s brainsD. which people are most intelligent【答案】A【解析】细节理解题。

"Very few even talked about xiangsheng," Yin recalled, as many younger performers became TV hosts or played roles in short comic theatrical skits. But Yin and a few of his elderly colleagues, decided they must not give it up. They returned to a small teahouse called Yanle in Tianjin in 1999, not to make money but to continue the tradition of xiangsheng. Yin also co-founded the troupe, Zhong You.To his surprise, their performances were warmly welcomed, and they were soon invited to perform in other teahouses such as Mingliu and Qianxiangyi.At first, their audiences were mostly senior people, but young people gradually took more seats. Today listening to xiangsheng has become chic for many young people in Tianjin. It is even hard for elderly people to go to Mingliu and Qianxiangyi, where young people often book all the tickets.Now Yanle is Tianjin's only teahouse where the comic talk shows are mainly frequented by senior audiences. After all, Yanle is located at Nanshi, an old area of Tianjin, which was once the centre of xiangsheng in the first half of the 20th century. Moreover, Yanle charges only eight yuan (US $1) for a show ticket plus a cup of tea, which is cheaper than the regular price of 10 yuan in other teahouses."Among theatres, teahouses and the TV, I like to perform in teahouses the most," said Ma, one of the actors.

But modern advertising does more than gives news about products and services. Today'sadvertisements, or ads, try to get consumers(消费者) to buy certain brands(品牌). Writers of advertising are so skillful that they can sometimes persuade a consumer to wear a certain kind of clothing, eat a special kind of cereal(麦片), or see a movie. Consumers might never even want a product if they did not see or hear advertisements for it.For example, you probably do not need the newest cereal in the supermarket. There are probably many cereal brands on your kitchen shelves. You may not have space on your shelf for another. But if you see ads about a new cereal that is your extra--tasty and has a free prize in the box, you may want it. Advertising must get attention. To be effective, it must be exciting, entertaining, or provide some pleasure. The secret of writing good advertising copy is to offer a good idea as well as a product. The idea is what the ad is really selling. One example is an ad that says eating a certain cereal will make a person do well in sports. That cereal brand may sell better if consumers think it offers strength and energy.37. What is discussed in this passage?A. The content of modern advertising.B. The skills of modern advertising.C. The results of modern advertising.D. The writing of modern advertising.38. According to the passage, a good advertisement should____________.A. be both persuasive and effectiveB. give people useful informationC. show people a productD. show people a new idea of a product39. From the passage, we can infer that___________.A. modern advertising has less effect on customersB. once customers see ads about a new cereal, they are sure to buy itC. cereal can make people strongD. cereal is a kind of food which is popular among people40. What can we infer from the passage?A. Customers can easily be persuaded by advertisements.B. Customers should be persuaded by advertisements.C. It's impossible for customers to buy a product without advertisements.D.
