Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
(2016·淄博模拟)We were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas，
running low on gas somewhere in New Mexico and figured we’
d se
e a gas station soon enough to fill up.
But that didn’t happen and we realized we wouldn’t make it
to the next town.So my daughter made up a sign that read “Low
on gas.Can you help？”and held it outside her window in the hope that a driver in the next lane would notice it and stop.
Th ere weren’t too many vehicles passing us either at the time.It was a lonely stretch of road and about 3：30 p．m. on a weekday.A suburban was driving along happily in the neighboring lane ahead of us.We caught up with it in the hope the driver would notice the sig n.After a brief expression of confusion on his face，he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over.We pulled over right behind him. He was friendly and was eager to help us.At first he thought we didn’t have enough money to buy gas，so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10 miles away!
When we explained our predicament of not having enough gas to get to Roswell，he said his farm was about 10 minutes away and they had a gas pump there，so if we could give him 20 minutes，he would head back there，get a can of gas and fill up our tank for us.
We could not believe our good fortune！There not being any cell phone reception for either of us in the area，we had just hoped that whoever stopped to help would be kind enough to call AAA when they got to Roswell and we would just wait it out for them to help us.
We were filled with gratefulness for the kindness of strangers such as this person as we waited for him to return.Sure enough，he was back with the can and quickly filled our tank.He refused to take payment for the gas.Tears flowed，as did our endless appreciation.

(2016·河南普通高中高考适应性测试)Peter，a high school student，was pretty busy with school，and he was on the soccer team.High school was hard，because everyone wanted to have nice clothes，hang out，drive cars，and all these cost money.Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got，so he was n’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun.So，he had to get a job.
During his freshman year summer vacation，his classmate got him a job working on a hay(干草) farm.He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields，and then they stacked (剁起) it in the hot barn.It was a hot，low­paying job. He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store.He put things on the shelf.It was a lot of lifting and carrying，and his arms were strong from this and the previous job.It was d ull and didn’t pay much.
He took some time off when soccer got serious，but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard.It was hot outside，but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall.He also learned a lot about building supplies.It still didn’t pay well.
From there，he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family，but that was piecemeal.His first real job came the last year at school，when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store.It was his favorite job yet，but it still didn’t pay well.
What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better paying job！The only way to get that was to get trained or educated.He could go to school and get a 2­year degree in an office or technical position.His other choices were going to a 4­year college or joining the army.He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet，but he knew he had to do something.Jobs were a lot of work，money was hard to earn，but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things.Peter wanted the most out of life，and that meant educatio n.

(2016·山西师大附中期中) Procrastination(拖延) is a phenomenon we are familiar with.When we procrastinate，we waste our free time and put off important tasks we should do till it’s too late.1. Here，I will share some personal steps taken to overcome procrastination with great success.
Break your work down into little parts.Part of the reason why we procrastinate is that we find the work too overwhelming(巨大的) for us.Break it down into little parts，and then focus on one part at a time.If you still procrastinate after doing so，break it down even further.2.
Change your environment.Look at your work desk and your room.Do they make you want to work or do they make you sleepy？3.
Create a detailed timeline with specific deadlines.Having just one deadline for your work is like an invitation to procrastinate.That’s because we would get the impression tha t we have time and keep pushing everything back until it’s too late.4. In this way，you know you have to finish each task by a certain date.
5．I’m pretty sure if you spend just 10 minutes talking to people like
Steve Jobs or Bill Gates，you’ll be more inspired to act than if you spend the 10 minutes doing nothing.The people we are with influence our behavior.
A．Seek out someone who has already achieved the similar outcome to your goals. B．Hang out with people who inspire you to take actio n.
C．Having a companion makes the whole process much more fu n.
D．If it’s the latter，you should begin to change your workspace.
