专升本英语阅读理解练习(带答案)
（⼀一）Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs. Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents. Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long.This is baby-pooling. 1. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because( ) . A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money 2. In paragraph 2, “a way out” means ( ).A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint 3. According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples is that ( ).A. families with kids form a small groupB. they ask their aging parents for helpC. they give up their jobsD. they take their kids wherever they go 4. What is( are) the advantage(s) of baby-pooling? . A. The parents can have much more free time. B. The kids can make new friends. C. The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long. D. All of the above. 5. The passage mainly discusses ( ).A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparents（⼆二）A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome youngman came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter,” the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop,” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly,” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.1. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller2. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sum of moneyB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C3. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year4.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen5. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locust（三）The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (预担的义务), self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.1.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement2.Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain3.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .A. hatred B. misunderstandingC. prejudice D. Ignorance4.To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun5.What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.（四）How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society. Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reacheda time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others. 1. The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up 2. The word “they”underlined in Line 5, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests 3. A child has his pains because____. A. He can not do whatever he wants to B. He is not allowed to play in rain C. He has a lot of new things to learn D. He can not play at the seaside freely 4. When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society 5. The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and Ages（五）"Trend-benders"(反潮族) are people who try to bring old styles back to life, and they encourage people to make some changes in their lifestyles. Trend-benders ride their bikes to work even though they can afford cars, and they write letters instead of e-mail and read paper books instead of e-books. Some trend-benders want to raise awareness about their passion and encourage others to act in the same way. For them, "bend the trend" is a social movement that invites everyone to make a lifestyle change.

一个好的倾听者英语作文
一个好的倾听者英语作文The Art of Being a Good Listener.In the fast-paced world we live in, the ability to listen effectively is often overlooked, yet it is a crucial skill that can transform communication and deepen relationships. A good listener is not just someone who hears the words spoken, but one who comprehends the emotions, thoughts, and perspectives behind those words. The art of listening well requires patience, empathy, and the willingness to understand another's perspective, regardless of whether one agrees with it.Empathy and Understanding.A good listener is an empathetic one. They put themselves in the shoes of the speaker, attempting to understand their feelings and experiences. This does not mean agreeing with everything said, but rather a sincere effort to connect with the other person on a deeper level.Empathy is the foundation of any meaningful conversation, as it fosters a sense of trust and openness between the listener and the speaker.Active Engagement.An engaged listener is actively involved in the conversation. They maintain eye contact, nod their head in agreement or understanding, and ask clarifying questions when needed. This active engagement not only shows respect for the speaker but also ensures that the message is being received correctly. It encourages the speaker to continue sharing their thoughts and feelings, knowing that they are being heard and understood.Reflection and Response.A skilled listener knows how to reflect and respond appropriately. They repeat back what they have understood from the speaker, ensuring that the message has been accurately interpreted. This reflection not only verifies understanding but also gives the speaker the opportunity toclarify or expand on their thoughts. Responses from a good listener are thoughtful and considered, often reflecting a deeper understanding of the speaker's perspective.Patience and Non-Judgmental Attitude.Patience is essential for a good listener. They allow the speaker to finish their thoughts without interruption, even if the topic is uninteresting or difficult to understand. A non-judgmental attitude is also crucial. A good listener avoids passing judgment or offering unsolicited advice. Instead, they strive to understand the speaker's perspective, even if they disagree with it.Benefits of Being a Good Listener.The benefits of being a good listener are numerous. Firstly, it enhances communication by ensuring that messages are accurately interpreted and understood. This reduces misunderstandings and冲突, leading to more effective and harmonious interactions. Secondly, it fosters stronger relationships. People feel valued and respectedwhen they are listened to with care and attention. This leads to deeper connections and a sense of trust between individuals.Lastly, being a good listener is a personal growth tool. By understanding others' perspectives, we gain a broader view of the world and become more tolerant andunderstanding individuals. This growth in empathy and understanding can lead to more meaningful and fulfilling interactions with others.In conclusion, the art of being a good listener is a valuable skill that should be cultivated by all. Itrequires patience, empathy, active engagement, reflection, and a non-judgmental attitude. By practicing these skills, we can enhance our communication abilities, foster stronger relationships, and promote personal growth and understanding.。

People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(便携式发电机).Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.There are mechanisms(装置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(电) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(储藏) up to 24 hours’ electricity.The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.There’s an en ergy crisis in the world. One out of every five people in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution(解决方法) to a big problem.Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offe rs people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.1．From the passage, we know the soccket is ________.A．an active child B．an invention C．a lamp D．a mobile phone2．If you play the soccket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for ________.A．fifteen minutes B．half an hour C．six hours D．three hours3．The underlined word ＂crisis＂in the passage means ________.A．a time of safety B．a time of difficulty C．a time of success D．a time of pride4．We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.A．Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries beforeB．Active children like to play soccketC．kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environmentD．people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket5．The best title for the passage should be ＂________＂.A．The only way to produce electricity B．The best way to solve energy crisisC．A soccer ball that gives energy D．An invention changing the worldC15、Strange things happen when you travel, because the earth is divided into twenty-four zones （时区）．The time difference between two zones is one hour．You can have days with more than twenty-four hours and days with fewer than twenty- four hours．You can have weeks with more than seven days and weeks with fewer than seven days．If you make a five-day trip （旅行）across the Atlantic Ocean （大西洋）, your ship come into a different time zone every day．As you come into each zone, the time changes one hour．If you travel west, you set your watch back．If you travel east, you set it ahead （向前）．Each day of your trip has either twenty-five or twenty-three hours．If you make a trip by ship across the Pacific Ocean （太平洋）, you cross the International Date Line（国际日期变更线）．This is the point where a new day begins when you cross the line, you change one full day．If you travel east, today becomes yesterday, if you travel west it is tomorrow．1．Something interesting will happen to the time if you travel because_____．A．a day has always fewer than twenty-four hoursB．a day has always more than twenty- four hoursC．a day has more or f ewer than twenty-four hoursD．some time zones are large and some time zones are small2．The time difference between two time zones is_______．A．twenty-four hours B．one hourC．two hours D．twenty-three hours3．If we crossthe Atlantic Ocean, we_______．A．change one full dayB．set our watch backC．set our watch aheadD．set our watch back or ahead4．If we travel east across the International Date Line on July 5th, the date becomes July______．A．3rd B．4th C．5th D．6th5．The Atlantic Ocean________．A．is in one time zoneB．is divided into twenty-four zonesC．is divided into five time zonesD．can not be crossed in five daysD16、Is Being Active Helpful for Better Grades?For some students, getting better grades can seem like an impossible task sometimes. With the challenges of school, just paying attention in class or studying hard isn't always enough. But what if there were other ways for students to improve their grades? For parents and students who have ever wondered if this is possible, now you can rest easy. Research suggests that a person who likes doing activities can improve their grades.Scientists think that those students who are active are not just exercising their bodies, but also exercising their brains. In turn, they can be able to improve their grades at school.In the most recent study, researchers found that when children played for half an hour each day, they were better at organizing their schoolwork as w ell as doing project work and learning traditionally ‘difficult’ subjects, such as maths. What does this mean for children who aren't active? Researchers think that if kids don't get enough activities, they are going to be at a disadvantage when it comes to school performance.In the research experiment, a group of children skipped with ropes, played basketball and did a number of other games or exercises. Another group of children didn't do any activities. They took part in testing both before the experiment and after the experiment. Testing was mainly for maths and reading skills. Results showed that the children in the activity group did better on the tests than those who had no activity.All work and no play will not only make Jack a dull (迟钝的) boy, but will also negatively (消极地) affect his grades in school, according to a new study published in the Journal of Pediatrics.Parents complain children today are actually less active and they always worry about their grades. Dr.Belton, an expert, she said: " I f you’d like to see your kids do better in school, have them close their books, set down their pencils and go outside to play."1．What does the expression "rest easy" in Paragraph I probably mean?A．Stop worrying B．Keep changingC．Avoid going D．Continue learning2．What does the writer want to tell us?A．Doing more homework can get better marks.B．All work and no play can do better on testing.C．Being active can do better on school subjects.D．Spending more time on exercise can have a better body.3．To help children get better grades, parents should ______.A．ask the researchers for help.B．encourage them to do more activities.C．help them to organize their schoolwork.D．let them solve problems by themselves.E17、Day and night across China, groups of middle-aged retirees, mostly women, gather together to dance in open space, like squares and parks. They are known as “guang chang wu da ma”. Their love for square dancing has made them a national phenomenon.However, some people don’t think highly of it. Their music is too loud, and they take up too much public space. Besides, they even dance at improper (not proper) places--- such as the square in front of the Louvre in Paris, where Chinese tourists broke into a dance last year.Even so, the dancers ar e growing in number and style. Li Dong,46, is a pioneer in this field. “In addition to keeping fit, square dancing has become so popular because older people who are free from work and from raising children want to be connected with one another. But I thin k that square dancing has a deeper meaning.”By teaching herself different dances, such as Latin, Tango and Cha-cha, Li adds variety (花样) to square dancing. “Although we are old, we are curious and want to try different dance style,” she said,” because s quare dancing has attracted(吸引)so much attention, I want to take it seriously.”As for people’s objection(反对)，Li says her team has taken the suggestion of turning down the volume(音量)and dancing at proper sites.” We are not a trouble at all.”1．Why does the writer mention Chinese tourists broke into a dance in front of the Louvre in Paris?A．Because their music was too loud . B．Because they weren’t dancing at a proper place.C．Because they took up too much space.

D．They want to attract pe ople’s attention.3．As for people’s objection, Li has _____A．taught herself different dances like Latin, etc. B．danced better than before.C．put on beautiful dresses. D．tried to make less noise and choose proper sites.4．Which words can be used to describe Li Dong?A．Curious and creative(有创造性的). B．Helpful and careful.C．Kind and funny. D．Patient and active.5．This passage most probably comes from?A．A story book B．A science magazine C．A newspaper D．A text bookF18、All over the world the need for more laptops and computers increases each year. Networks have been part of our life. Probably everyone with a portable device (移动设备) has once logged on to a public WiFi network without paying for it, while they are having a coffee, on a train, in a shopping mall or at a hotel. However, is this kind of public WiFi network safe?Some networks are better protected than others because encryption (加密) methods are used. Therefore, they are safer than others. But a survey in 2015 showed that more than 950 million records were not protected, including addresses, emails, birth dales, phone numbers, passwords and so on. These open WiFi networks are really not safe, because it is very easy for hackers to break into the operating system and get people's private information.Most smartphones and laptops, by themselves, search and connect to WiFi networks. They usually prefer a network with a connection that has been used before. Hackers' devices are able to record these searches and look like the trusted WiFi networks. When these smartphones and laptops log on to the networks which are not real, hackers can easily steal their private information.So next time, when we want to use our laptops or our smartphones in public places which offer free WiFi networks，please think it twice or take safe measures before using them.1．We can learn from the passage that______.A．not all the public WiFi networks are safe B．none of the public WiFi networks is safeC．in 2015 more than 950 million records were protected D．there is no way to protect our private information 2．Hackers would probably get the following EXCEPT_______when we connect our laptops or smartphones to a public WiFi network.A．our birth dates B．our passwordsC．our phone numbers D．our smartphones3．Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?A．Don't Use Public WiFi Networks B．Why the Public WiFi Networks a Possible DangerC．We Needn't Protect Our Private Information D．Why Hackers Break into the Operating SystemⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达以“My Weekend Housework”为题，写一篇短文，谈一谈上星期天你做过的家务活，并介绍你喜欢做的家务活和不喜欢做的家务活，并谈谈你做家务的感受。

How do you teach yourself? The first thing you must do is reading. Read something interesting. The second is that you must ask yourself questions. Many clever students often do like this. The questions are about something you don’t understand or you want to know more about. You can write down these questions. The third is to answer the questions yourself by thinking hard, by reading the texts or other books, and sometimes by asking other people. There are ways of teaching yourself. And if you do these things for a long time, you will be sure to succeed in your study.
新概念2 第22课课文
新概念二第22课课文Lesson 22 The futureOne often hears it said that modern man has lost his faith. While the pessimist declares that there is little to look forward to, the optimist maintains that the future holds much. No one can deny that the world has gone through a great crisis, but it is too early to despair. To prophesy a dismal future is very easy, and if we look at the world only from our own point of view, we are apt to indulge in gloomy prognostications. The fact that we can even talk about the future raises man above the animals, who cannot express their fears about the unknown. The future never comes. When it arrives it is the present. The moment we say "the future," it has already become the present. It is true that we can speak about the future and make certain predictions, but we will never know whether they will come true or not. The future is hidden, and we can only guess what it holds. For many people, the future seems very dark, but it is possible to make it bright. The future depends on ourselves. If we work and struggle, we can look forward with confidence. Our hopes for the future must be based, not on the present, but on the past.。
满足男人的胃口英语作文
满足男人的胃口英语作文Title: Satisfying a Man's Appetite。
In the realm of relationships, one often hears the phrase, "The way to a man's heart is through his stomach." Indeed, food has a unique power to captivate and delight, making it an invaluable tool in nurturing connections and satisfying desires. So, how does one effectively cater to a man's appetite, both in the literal and metaphorical sense?To begin with, understanding the nuances of his palate is crucial. Every man has his own set of culinary preferences, shaped by upbringing, culture, and personal experiences. Some may have a penchant for hearty, savory dishes, while others may lean towards lighter, more nuanced flavors. By paying attention to his tastes and preferences, one can tailor meals to suit his liking, demonstrating care and consideration.Furthermore, mastering the art of cooking can be asignificant advantage. While it's not necessary to be a Michelin-starred chef, possessing basic culinary skills can go a long way in impressing a man and satisfying his appetite. Experimenting with different recipes, honing techniques, and incorporating fresh, high-quality ingredients can elevate the dining experience and leave a lasting impression.In addition to culinary prowess, the presentation of food plays a vital role in enticing a man's appetite. A well-set table, with attention to detail and aesthetics, can enhance the dining experience and create a sense of occasion. Thoughtful touches such as garnishes, colorful plating, and ambiance-setting lighting can elevate a meal from ordinary to extraordinary, leaving a man feeling cherished and appreciated.Beyond the physical act of eating, food also serves as a conduit for bonding and intimacy. Sharing a meal together provides an opportunity for meaningful conversation, laughter, and connection. Whether it's a cozy dinner at home or a romantic outing at a restaurant, the act ofbreaking bread together fosters closeness and strengthens the bond between partners.Moreover, it's essential to recognize that satisfying a man's appetite extends beyond just food. Emotional nourishment is equally important in fostering a fulfilling relationship. Taking the time to listen, offer support, and show affection demonstrates care and understanding,fulfilling his emotional needs and deepening the connection between partners.In conclusion, satisfying a man's appetite encompasses more than just filling his stomach with delicious food.It's about understanding his preferences, honing culinary skills, and creating meaningful experiences that nourish both body and soul. By mastering the art of catering to his appetite, one can forge a deeper bond and create lasting memories that endure long after the plates have been cleared.。

专升本英语阅读理解练习(带答案)
（⼀一）Many post-80s couples are complaining that going to the movies, shopping or attending parties have become impossible since their kids were born. That' s the way most parents are living their lives, no weekends of their own, no time to visit friends, not even a chance of promotion in their jobs. Asking help from their parents might be a way out,but problems are that some aging parents are not strong enough to take care of the kids, and that the kids may also become too spoiled by their grandparents. Then, here comes a solution: families with kids can form a small group, and parents of each family can take turns to look after all the kids in this group on weekends. Thus, other parents can have some quiet time and feel free to do something they' ve been planning for a long time. At the same time, the kids can make new friends and won' t be hanging around their parents all day long.This is baby-pooling. 1. Many post-80s couples can't go to the movies, shop or attend parties because( ) . A .they have to look after their kids B. they have to look after their parentsC. they are busy with their workD. they have no money 2. In paragraph 2, “a way out” means ( ).A. out of dateB. a solutionC. without questionD. a complaint 3. According to the last paragraph, the solution to the problem of post-80s couples is that ( ).A. families with kids form a small groupB. they ask their aging parents for helpC. they give up their jobsD. they take their kids wherever they go 4. What is( are) the advantage(s) of baby-pooling? . A. The parents can have much more free time. B. The kids can make new friends. C. The kids won't be hanging around their parents all day long. D. All of the above. 5. The passage mainly discusses ( ).A. post-80s couples and their friendsB. post-80s couples and baby-poolingC. post-80s couples and their parentsD. kids and their grandparents（⼆二）A wealthy Persian Prince loved good stories. The older he grew，the fonder he became of them. But he always regretted they had to have an end. So he decided to give half his wealth and his beautiful daughter to the man who could tell him a story without an end. Anybody who failed would be sent to prison for life. The risk was so great that nobody came to the palace to tell the Prince a story for a whole year. Then one day a tall, handsome youngman came and said he wanted to tell a story that would go on forever. The prince agreed but warned him what would happen if he failed. “The risk is worth the head of your fair daughter,” the young man replied poetically（得体地）. He then began this well-known story:“Once upon a time there was a certain King who feared famine. So he ordered his men to build an enormous storehouse, which he filled with corn. Then, when it was up, made water-proof and made fire-proof, the King felt happy. But one day he noticed a small hole in the roof and as he looked at it, a locust came out with a grain of corn. A minute later, another locust came out with another grain of corn. Then a third locust with another grain of corn. Then a fourth locust, flying at great speed, pushed through the hole and came out with two grains of corn. Then a fifth locust came and …”“Stop,” shouted the Prince. “I can’t,” answered the young man. “I must go on until I tell you what happened to each grain of the corn.” “But that will go on for ever.” The Prince protested. “Exactly,” the young man replied, and he smiled as he turned towards the Prince’s beautiful young daughter.1. The Prince always felt regretted about story because _________.A. he had too much wealthB. there was terrible famineC. all stories have endsD. there was no story-teller2. The young man risked to tell an endless story to the Prince for _________.A. a great sum of moneyB. the prince’s beautiful daughterC. showing his braveryD. Both A and C3. The young man would be sent to prison _________ if he failed to tell a story without an end.A. foreverB. for some timeC. for a whileD. for a year4.In order to prevent famine, the King asked to build _________.A. a huge storehouseB. a large farmC. a beautiful palaceD. a waterproof kitchen5. The thing the king noticed first in the roof was _________.A. a loafB. a small holeC. a grain of cornD. a locust（三）The way people hold to the belief that a fun - filled, pain free life equals happiness actually reduces their chances of ever attaining real happiness. If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain.As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (预担的义务), self - improvement.Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild.Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.1.According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because ________ .A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilitiesB. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains singleC. he finds more fun in dating than in marriageD. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement2.Raising children, in the author’s opinion is ________ .A. a moral dutyB. a thankless jobC. a rewarding taskD. a source of inevitable pain3.From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ .A. hatred B. misunderstandingC. prejudice D. Ignorance4.To understand what true happiness is one must ________ .A. have as much fun as possible during one’s lifetimeB. make every effort to liberate oneself from painC. put up with pain under all circumstancesD. be able to distinguish happiness from fun5.What is the author trying to tell us?A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain.B. One must know how to attain happiness.C. It is important to make commitments.D. It is pain that leads to happiness.（四）How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups and old people wishing they were young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets. Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities. If a child has good parents, he is well fed, looked after and loved. It is unlikely that he will ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is always presenting new things to the child — things that have lost their interest for older people because they are too well known. But a child has his pains:He is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things or being punished for what he has done wrong. Therefore, a child is not happy as he wishes to be. When the young man starts to earn his own living, he becomes free from discipline of school and parents; but at the same time he is forced to accept responsibilities. With no one to pay for his food, his clothes, or his room, he has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may get himself into trouble. If, however, he works hard,goes by the law and has good health, he may feel satisfied in seeing himself make steady progress in his job and in building up for himself his own position in society. Old age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not necessary for the old to be unhappy. With old age comes wisdom and the ability to help others with advice wisely given. The old can have the joy of seeing their children making progress in life; they can watch their grandchildren growing up around them; and, perhaps best of all, they can, if their life has been a useful one, fell the happiness of having come through the battle of life safely and of having reacheda time when they can lie back and rest, leaving everything to others. 1. The happiest people should be those who ______.A. Face up to difficulties in lifeB. Hope to be young againC. Enjoy life in different ageD. Wish to be grown up 2. The word “they”underlined in Line 5, para. 2 refers to ____.A. Older peopleB. New thingsC. ChildrenD. Interests 3. A child has his pains because____. A. He can not do whatever he wants to B. He is not allowed to play in rain C. He has a lot of new things to learn D. He can not play at the seaside freely 4. When a child becomes a grown-up, he is supposed to ____.A.live comfortablyB. Take responsibilitiesC. Make progress in jobD. Impress the society 5. The best title of the passage might be ____.A. Pains and AgesB. Differences in AgesC. The Best Age to BeD. Happiness and Ages（五）"Trend-benders"(反潮族) are people who try to bring old styles back to life, and they encourage people to make some changes in their lifestyles. Trend-benders ride their bikes to work even though they can afford cars, and they write letters instead of e-mail and read paper books instead of e-books.

Five Traits of Educated Man译文
Five Traits of Educated ManA question often asked is：44What are the marks of an educated man? ,,It is that one may gain no inconsiderable body learning in some special field of knowledge without at the same time acquiring those habits and traits which are the marks of an educated gentlem. A reasonable amount of learning must of course accompany an education, but, after alL that amount need not be so very great in any one field. An education will make its mark and find its evidences in certain traits, characteristics, and capacities which have to be acquired by patient endeavor, by following good exam- pie, and by receiving wise discipline and sound instruction.These traits or characteristics may be variously described and classified, but among them are five that should always stand out clearly enough to be seen by all men. The first of these is correctness and precision in the use of the mother tongue. The quite shocking slovenliness and vulgarity of much of the spoke n English, as well as a little of the written English, which one hears and sees, proves beyond per adventure that years of attendance upon schools and colleges that are thought to be respectable have produced no impression. When one hears English well spoken, with pure diction, correct pronunciation, and an almost unconscious choice of the right word, he recognizes it at once. How much easier he finds it to imitate English of the other sort!A second and indispensable trait of the educated man is refined and gentle manners, which are them selves the expression of fixed habits of thought and action. "Manners make the man, '' wrote William of Wykeham over his gates at Winchester and at Oxford. He pointed to a great truth. When manners are superficial, artificial, and forced, no matter what their form , they are bad manners. When, however, they are the natural expression of fixed habits of thought and action, and when they reveal a refined and cultivated nature, they are good manners. There are certain thing s that gentlemen do not do, and they do not do them simply because they are bad manners. The gentleman instinctively knows the difference between those things which he may and should do and those thing s which he may not and should not do.A third trait of the educated man is the power and habit of reflection. Human beings for the most part live wholly on the surface or far beyond the present moment and that part of the future which is quickly to follow it. They do not read those works of prose and poetry which have become classic because they reveal the powerful habit of reflection and induce that power and habit in others. When one reflects long enough to ask the question how, he is on the way to knowing something about science. When one reflects long enough to ask the question why, he may, if he persists, even become a philosopher.A fourth trait of the educated man is the power of growth. He continues to grow and develop from birth to his dying day. His interests expand, his contacts multiply, his knowledge e increases, and his reflection becomes deeper and wider. It would appear to be true that not many human beings, even those who have had a college education, continue to g row after they are twenty-four or twenty-five years ofage. By that time it is usual to settle down to life on a level of more or less contented intellectual interest and activity. The whole present-day movement for adult education is a systematic and definite attempt to keep human beings growing long after they have left school and college, and , therefore, to help educate them.A fifth trait of the educated man is his possession of efficiency, or the power to do. The mere visionary dreamer, however charming or however wise, lacks something which an education requires. The power to do may be exercised in any one of a thousand ways, but when it clearly shows itself, that is evidence that the period of discipline, of study > and of companionship with parents and teachers has not been in vain.Given these five characteristics, one has the outline of an educated man . That outline may be filled in by scholarship, by literary power , by mechanical skills, by professional zeal and capacity, by business competence , or by social and political leadership. So long as the frame work or outline is there ， the content may be pretty much what you will, assuming, of course , that the fundamental elements of the great tradition which is civilization, and its outstanding records and achievements in human personality, in letters, in science, in the fine arts, and in human institutions, are all present.人们常问：“有教养者的标志是什么？'‘显然，一个人在某一知识领域造诣颇深，不一定同时就获得有教养之士的标志——文明的习惯与特性。

One often hears it is said that travel broaden the mind:if you stay in your hometown all your life,your ideas remain narrow;if you travel to the other parts of the world,you will come back home with a broader mind.People who like traveling maintain that it can help them expand their scope of knowledge,especially in the geographical and historical sense.And touring can also give them more chance to enjoy different kinds of food and culture that they have never accessed to.
Firstly,let’s look at this famous example.Marco Polo traveled for 17 years in China, visiting many famous cities at that time. He learned a lot about the greatest kingdom in the world and have a broader mind.His experience was recorded in the Marco Polo’tale.The travels of Marco Polo is not a simple, but enlightenment type of works.It not only opened the Europeans’new areas of knowledge and horizons,but also affected the start of European Renaissance of the humanities and the opening of the Rota Nova.
Then,take one of my experience as an illustration.When I was 12 years old,I went to Guilin,the hometown of Liusanjie.Through the interpretation of the tourist guide and my own searching,I knew many local customs and their relationship with the geographic environment.From then,I learned to analyze
things in an integrate way.
Traveling can be a wonderful experience,which will lead you to a world you have never been and give you chances to know how fantastic nature is. It is never too late to start.Let’s go out to enjoy the beauty of the world.。
