The light from the campfire brightened the darkness, but it could not prevent the damp cold of Dennis’s Swamp (沼泽地) creeping into their bones. It was a strange place. Martin and Tom wished that they had not accepted Jack’s dare. They liked camping, but not near this swamp.“So,” Martin asked as they sat watching the hot coals. “How did this place get its name ? ”“Are you sure you want to hear it ? It’s a scary story,” warned Jack.“Of course!” cried out Tom. “If there were anything to be scared of, you wouldn’t have chosen this place!”“Ok, but don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Jack, and he began this tale.“Way back in time, a man called Dennis tried to start a farm here. He built that cottage over there to live in . In those days, t he area looked quite different ---- it was covered with tall trees and the swamp was a crystal-clear river. After three hard years, Dennis had cleared several fields and planted crops. He was so proud of his success that he refused to listen to advice.“ ‘You are clearing too much land, ’ warned one old man. ‘ The land is a living thing. It will hit back at you if you abuse it. ’“ ‘ Silly fool,’ said Dennis to himself. ‘If I clear more land, I can grow more crops. I’ll become wealthier. He’s just jealous!’”“Dennis continued to chop down trees. Small animals that relied on them for food and shelter were destroyed. He was so eager to expand his farm that he did not notice the river flowing slowly towards his door. He did not notice salt seeping to the surface of the land. He did not notice swamp plants chok ing all the native plants.”“What happened ? ” Martin asked. It was growing colder. He trembled, twisting his body closer to the fire.“The land hit back ---- just as t he old man warned, ” Jack shrugged. “Dennis disappeared. Old folks around here believe that swamp plants moved up from the river and dragged him underwater. His body was never found.”“What a stupid story, ” laughed Tom. “Plants can’t …” Before he had fini shed speaking, he screamed and fainted(晕倒). The other two boys jumped up with fright, staring at Tom. Suddenly, they burst out laughing. Some green swamp ivy (常春藤) had covered Tom’s face. It was a while before Tom could appreciate the joke.【文章大意】本文通过三个朋友在沼泽地野营时Tom讲述的故事，告知我们贪多必失的道理。

看看下面这个英雄故事吧！On a sunny day last August, Tim heard some shouting. Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat wer e being pul led out to sea.Two 2-year-old boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters, a bleach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.“Everythi ng went quiet in my head,”Tim recalls(回忆). “I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back,”he says. “I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella!”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him.“Let’s aim for the pier(码头),” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim?” he cried. “A little bit,” the boys said.Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’ faces.“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again. “Yes,”Tim told them each time.After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.【文章大意】作者描述了两个孩子划船出海捡球遇险，Tim勇敢地游泳去营救的故事。

In 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 km away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five fays off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five yea rs later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.【文章大意】作者讲述了25年前自己错过了唯一的一趟回家的火车，她想搭便车回家但没有人为她停车。

学会取舍实属一门智慧。
There once was a master who went to India. And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is expensive because they can't grow much due to the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.So he went up and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees." Two rupees in India is nothing; it's like dirt. So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His eyes watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became red. As he coughed and choked and gasped for breath, he jumped up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them as a condiment, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not fruit!" So the stupid master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, and now I'll eat them. It's my money!"And you think that master was stupid, right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of things like that. We invest money, time or effort in a relationship, business or job. And even though it's been a long time, bitter experience te lls us it won't work, and we know there's no more hope that things will change in the future , but we still continue just because we've invested money, time, effort and love into it. If so, we're kaput in the brain. Just like the man who ate the chilies and suffered so much but couldn't stop because he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.So even if you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to lose.【文章大意】文中的大师误把辣椒当水果，旁人劝告终不进耳。

The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't already know.I stood up to look around, when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with smile that lit up her entire being. "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?" I asked. She jokingly replied, "I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of kids..." "No seriously," I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age."I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one!" she told me. After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We became instant friends. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went.At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us.“You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up.If you are 19 years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything, I will turn 88." "Anybody can grow OLDER. That doesn't take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change. Have no regrets.”The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets." She concluded her speech by courageously singing "The Rose." She challenged each of us to study the lyrics and live them out in our daily lives. At the year's end Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over 2,000 college students attended her funeral in tribute to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it's never too late to be all you can possibly be.【文章大意】一个年逾古稀的老奶奶在她生命的最后阶段仍坚持追求梦想，她用实际行动告诉大家，任何人都会变老，无论你是天才还是蠢才，但并不是每个人都在不断成长，追求梦想永远不会太晚。

高三英语复习阅读第一期（个人情感与人际关系）14【导读】绕行路上的别样风景：条条大路通罗马！面对同样的人生目标，有人会选择畅通的大路，有人则选择迂回的小路。
畅通的大路自然会带给你舒适与便利，而迂回的小路却能带给你别样的人生风景。
Poet William Stafford once said that we are defined more by the detours(绕行路) in life than by the narrow road toward goals. I like this image. But it was quite by accident that I discovered the deep meaning of his words.For years we made the long drive from our home in Seattle to my par ents' home in Boise in nine hours. We traveled the way most people do: the fastest, shortest, easiest road, especially when I was alone with four noisy, restless kids who hate confinement(限制) and have strong opinions about everything.Road trips felt risky, so I would drive fast, stopping only when 1 had to. We would stick to the freeways and arrive tired.But then Banner, our lamb was bent. He was reeled by hmama days before our planned trip to Boise, I had two choices: leave Banner with my husband, or take him with me. My husband made the decision for me.That is how I found myself on the road with four kids, a baby lamb and nothing but my everlasting optimism to see me through. We took the country roads out of necessity. We had to stop every hour, let Banner shake out his legs and feed him. The kids chased him and on e another. They'd get back in the car breathless and energized, smelling fresh from the cold air.We explored side roads, catching grasshopper in waist-high grass. Even if we simply looked out of the car window, at baby p.gs following their mother, or fish leaping out of the water, it was better than the best ride down the freeway. Here was life. And new horizons(见识).We eventually arrived at my parents' doorstep astonishingly fresh and full of stories.I grew brave with the trip back home and creative with my disciplining technique. On an empty section of road, everyone started quarreling. I stopped the car, ordered all kids out and told them to meet mc up ahead. I parked my car half a mile away and read my book in sweet silence.Some road trips are by necessity fast and straight. But that trip with Banner opened our eyes to a world available to anyone adventurous enough to wander around and made me realize that a detour may uncover the best part of a journey-and the best part of yourself.【文章大意】记叙了作者为了方便照顾年幼的孩子驱车去父母家时而不得不改变多年行驶路线的经历，以及由此而产生的感悟。

高三英语复习阅读第一期（个人情感与人际关系）9（九）【导读】当现实与我们的观念发生冲突时，我们是一意孤行，还是想法改变自己？In 1974, after filling out fifty applications, going through four interviews, and winning one offer, I look what I could get —a teaching job at what I considered a distant wild area: western New Jersey. My characteristic optimism was alive only when I reminded myself that I would be doing what I had wanted to do since I was fourteen 一 teaching English.School started, but I felt more and more as if I were in a foreign country. Was this rural area really New Jersey? My students a week off when hunting season began.I was told they were also frequently absent in late October to help their fathers make hay on the farms. I was a young woman from New York City, who thought that “Make hay while the sun shines” just meant to have a good time.But, still, I was teaching English. I worked hard, taking time off only to eat and sleep. And then there was my sixth-grade class 一 seventeen boys and five girls who were only six years younger than me. I had a problem long before I knew it. I was struggling in my work as a young idealistic teacher. I wanted to make literature come alive and promote a love of the written word. The students wanted to throw spitballs and whisper dirty words in the back of the room.In college I had been taught that a successful educator should ignore bad behavior. So I did, confident that, as the textbook had said, the bad behavior would disappear as I gave ray students positive attention. It sounds reasonable, but the text evidently ignored the fact that humans, particularly teenagers, rarely seem reasonable. By the time my boss, who was also my taskmaster known to be the strictest, most demanding, most quick to fire inexperienced teachers, came into the classroom to observe me, the students exhibited very little good behavior to praise.My boss sat in the back o f the room. The boys in the class were making animal noises, hitting each other while the girls filed their nails or read magazines. I just pretended it all wasn’t happening, and went on lecturing and tried to ask some inspiring questions. My boss, sitting in the back of the room, seemed to be growing bigger and bigger. After twenty minutes he left, silently. Visions of unemployment marched before my eyes.I felt mildly victorious that I got through the rest of class without crying, but at my next free period I had to face him. I wondered if he would let me finish out the day. I walked to his office, took a deep breath, and opened the door.He was sitting in his chair, and he looked at me long and hard. I said nothing. All I could think of was that I was not an English teacher; I had been lying to myself, pretending that everything was fine.When h e spoke, he said simply, without accusation, “You had nothing to say to them.”“You had nothing to say to them," he repeated. “No wonder they’re bored. Why not get to the meal of the literature and stop talking about symbolism. Talk withthem, not at them. And more important, why do you ignore their bad behavior?” We talked. He named ray problems and offered solutions. We role-played. He was the bad student, and I was the forceful, yet, warm, teacher.As the year progressed, we spent many hours discussing literature and ideas about human beings and their motivations. He helped me identify my weaknesses and my strengths. In short, he made a teacher of me by teaching me the reality of Emerson's words: “The secret to education lies in respecting the pupil.”Fifteen years later I still drive that same winding road to the same school. Thanks to the help I received that diff icult first year, the school is my home now. 【文章大意】文章描述的是作者工作第一年到偏远山区的一所学校执教的经历，当作者个人的执教理念和现实脱节时得到了上司的指点，对自己以后文学的教学起到了很大的影响。
高考英语阅读理解专项突破：个人感情与人际关系
个人感情与人际关系一、阅读理解1. The story of the movie Inside Out mostly takes place inside the mind of 11-year-old Riley as she moves from Minnesota to San Francisco. The main characters are Riley’s emotions---Joy, Sadness, Disgust, Anger and Fear, which guide her decisions and often compete with one another for control of her brain.Fear is tall, thin, looks like a frayed(焦燥的)nerve and is purple. Not only that, his eyes are purple, too. Anger, which is red, looks like a brick and has red eyes. Disgust, who is green, has green eyes. Sadness, not surprisingly, is completely blue, and even looks like a teardrop. But Joy, who is mainly yellow, has more than one color in her. She has blue eyes and blue hair. Why? Well, if blue represents sadness, then the message is clear: there is no such ting as “pure joy”. Instead, even in our most joyous times, there is often sadness mixed in.After all, one of the most joyous moments we can experience is a wedding, but it may end with the breaking of a glass. It reminds us that our world is still broken. In order words, even at our highest moments, there is always a little sadness.But the comfort is that the reverse is often true. Think about how you feel after crying. When you cry, your body is releasing some chemicals that often make you feel good. And that’s why you feel at ease after a good cry.Indeed, Inside Out reminds us that even the emotions that appear “negative’ have value. In other words, Inside Out shows us that the goal of life isn’t “to be happy”. We w ill feel sad, angry or frightened. But we need our whole range of emotions for developing our sense of self and our relationship with others.1.According to the author, Joy is different in appearance because __________.A.it is the leading character in our lifeB.that shows it is joyful for a reasonC.that shows it doesn’t just mean pure joyD.the director wants to make it prettier2.Why does a wedding end with the braking of a glass?A.To remind the new couple not to overjoyB.To show the world we live in isn’t perfectC.To remind the new couple to pay attention to happinessD.To show the new couple about the real meaning of marriage3.The underlined part “the reverse is often true” in Paragraph 4 means ____________.A.sadness is as important as joyB.happi ness doesn’t last very longC.sadness can sometimes lead us to joyD.we should never be too happy about something4.The movie Inside Out is meant to tell us that ___________.A.we should attempt to be as happy as possibleB.we should control our negative emotionsC.developing our sense of self isn’t that easyD.we need both positive and negative emotions2. Being mistreated at work can make people take out their negative emotions on loved ones at home. But a new study suggests that getting more exercise and sleep may help people better cope with them by leaving them at work, where they belong.Previous research shows that employees who are looked down on or insulted by colleagues are likely to express their frustrations and behave angrily toward people outside of work, says study co-author Shannon Taylor, a management professor at the University of Central Florida’s College of Business.The new study backs up this idea, but offers a bit of good news as well: Employees who averaged more than 10, 500 steps a day or burned at least 2, 100 calories were less likely to mistreat their families than those who averaged fewer steps or burned fewer calories.The findings also revealed that when employees felt they had a bad night’s sleep because of work is sues, they were more likely to be angry at home. “When you’re tired, you are either less able or less motivated to regulate yourself.” says co-author Larissa Barber, a professor of psychology at Northern Illinois University.Physical activity seems to counterbalance poor sleep, Barber says, because it promotes healthy brain functions needed to properly regulate emotions and behaviors. “This study suggests that high amounts of exercise can be at least one way to improve the situations brought by sleep troubles that lead to negative behaviors at home, ” she says.Barber acknowledges that finding time to work out and get a full night’s sleep can be difficult when work pressure is mounting, and that often, job stress can be directly connected to sleep quality. However, she says, making the effort to burn some extra calories and let go of some stress can be worth it. It’s not only good for you, says Taylor, but it can benefit your loved people.1.What does the underlined word “they” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.Loved people at home.B.Negative emotions.C.Different work pressures.D.More exercise and sleep.2.Who will most probably behave angrily to family members?A.A person who is easy to get tired.B.A person who is always treated badly by coworkers.C.A person who often goes to the gym to work out.D.A person who often argues with colleagues.3.The underlined word “counterbalance” in Paragraph 5 probably means_________.A.make use ofB.take control ofC.keep up withD.make up for4.What can we learn from the text?A.The amount of calories employees burn affects the frequency of losing temper.B.How to burn more calories has become a major issue for workers.C.Enough exercise can replace good sleep in dealing with negative behaviors.D.Work pressure makes no difference in sleep quality.3. It feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. S he’ll complain(抱怨) about my lack of a bright future because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her disappointment, I don’t want to do any job related to science, either. In fact, when I was pushed to say that I planned to major in English and communications, she nearly had a heart attack.“Why can’t you be like my coworker’s son?” she bemoans all the time. Her coworker’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I don’t know what to answer except that I simply can’t be like Mr. Perfect, as I’ve called the unnamed coworker’s son. I can’t be like him. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, writes until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary.I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6:30 am and usually comes home around 5 pm or even 6 pm. However, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.1.Which of the following topics do the author and his mother often argue about?A.The author’s future job.B.The author’s studies.C.Their dinner plans.D.Wars around the world.2.We can infer from Paragraph 1 that the author’s mother_______.A.gets along very well with the authorB.has a serious heart disease at presentC.doesn’t think the autho r should be a doctorD.doesn’t want the author to major in English3.Which of the following can best replace the word “bemoans” in Paragraph 2?A.explainsplainsC.shoutsD.worries4.According to the text, the author _______.A.decides to become a writer laterB.wishes to be like the coworker’s sonC.wants to find a good job in his communityD.hopes to do something he really likes in the future4. While it is impossible to live completely free of stress, it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can't be avoided. The USDepartment of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to deal with stress.Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity. Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are just some of the activities you might try. Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you to relax. Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share your stressIt helps to talk to someone about your anxieties and worries. Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher or even your leader can help you a better view of what's troubling you. If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist or a doctor. Knowing when to ask for help is an important step in avoiding serious problems later.Take care of yourselfYou should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest. If you easily get angry and cannot sleep well enough, or if you're not eating properly, it will be more likely that you will fall into stressful situations. If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult a doctor. Make time for yourself.Make a list of the things you need to doStress can result from disorganization and a feeling that "there's so much to do, and not enough time". Trying to take care of everything at once can be too much for you and as a result, you may not achieve anything. Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed. Set out to do the most important tasks first.Go ahead and cryA good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety. It might even help you avoid a headache or other physical effect of anxiety and stress.1.What is most probably the writer's purpose in writing the article?A.To release his or her working tiredness.B.To help solve the universal problem of stress.C.To strengthen his or her anxiety.D.To have more people cry out.2.Physical activity can help people release stress because________.A.only your body movement can help you relaxB.your mind can work better to free you of anxietyC.your body and mind can cooperate in releasing stressD.physical activity doesn't play an important part in reducing nervousness3.What is similarity between "Share your stress" and "Go ahead and cry"?A.They both help you let out your feelings.B.They both need physical movement.C.They both require mental relaxation.D.They can cause a headache.4.The underlined sentence is close to the meaning of "________".A.Strike while the iron is hotB.More haste, less speedC.Practice makes perfectD.Quietness wins time5. People are seeking for opportunities that will assist them in reaching their goals. Marketing yourself can be a good choice, which can help you achieve your goals. Though when people talk about marketing, they usually think that this is about producing a sale, it does not necessarily have to be.If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas, and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position. So in reality, marketing really leads to sale. So marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself!The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves.Marketing yourself is a useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are. It means letting your prospective employer know that you exist or you can do something better.There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primary ways that you carry out. The first is to find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.To reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee. In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise message that you can share with others. When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practice your message.In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you are wearing. Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear. Just remember to make a great first impression!1.What is the main idea of the passage?A.Marketing yourself is a business.B.The subject of marketing yourself.C.The ways of marketing yourself.D.The problems of marketing yourself.2.According to the passage, as to marketing themselves, most people tend to feel ______.A.confidentB.cheerfulC.terribleD.appropriate3.In order to market yourself well, you can do these things EXCEPT ______.A.be open to othersB.praise yourselfC.wear appropriatelyD.have a brief and clear message4.From the passage, we can infer that people good at marketing themselves must be______.municativeB.humorousC.hardworkingD.beautiful6 If we want to deal with the association(社交) between boys and girls properly, here are some “dos and don’ts” for you to follow.Keep a normal and healthy state of mind. Our schools and classes are made up of boys and girls. It is very nature for the boys and girls to make friends with each other. We should make as many friends as possible. We should keep in touch with the other sex in public instead of in secret.Don’t be too nervous or too shy. If you are a shy person, you can also find a way out. You can make friends with the students who have the same interest and hobby as you. As both of you have much in common, you may have much to talk about. If you keep doing like that, little by little, you will gladly find you are also as free to express yourself as others.Don’t fall into t he ditch of early love. The boys and girls at a adolescence (青春期) are rich in feeling. They are easy to regard the friendship as a sign of love and fall in love with each other at an early age. In my opinion, early love is a green apple that can’t be eaten. An apple won’t taste sweet until it is full ripe. Boys and girls at middle school are too young to carry the heavy duty of love. Do keep out of early love.1.We should keep in touch with the other sex in following ways EXCEPT .A.with a good state of mindB.in real friendshipC.in publicD.in secret2.If you are a shy person, you can .A.find friends with the same interest and hobbyB.only have a few friends of the same sexC.not make friends with the other sexD.not fall in love with other students easily3.What does the underlined sentence probably mean?A.Don’t get into the habit of early love.B.Don’t be addicted to early love.C.Don’t be trapped in early love.D.Don’t be confused by early love.4.The main idea of the passage is to .A.tell students to keep away from early loveB.give some advice on how to associate between boys and girlsC.tell students how to make friendsD.teach boys how to talk with girls7. When it comes to friends, I desire those who will share my happiness with me.When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend.We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors.We said little at school, but she would come to my house a nd we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.”We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle.Then we would read them aloud.At the end of that school year, we, too, were changed into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend.He was in despair (失望) and I was in despair.But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time.We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things.We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.For almost four years I have had a remarkable friend.We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves.Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams.She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of th e same mind.In my most interesting moments, I often think:“Yes, I must tell...”We have never met.It is such comforting companions I wish to keep.One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist (心理学家),who will only fill up the healing (愈合的) silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.1.In the eighth grade, what the author did before developing proper social behavior was to ________.A.become serious about her studyB.go to her friend’s house regularlyC.learn from her classmates at schoolD.share poems and stories with her friend2.In Paragraph 2,“We gave London to each other.”probably means ________.A.our exploration of London was a memorable gift to both of usB.we were unwilling to tear ourselves away from LondonC.our unpleasant feelings about London disappearedD.we parted with each other in London3.According to Paragraph 3, the author and her friend ________.A.call each other regularlyB.have similar personalitiesC.enjoy writing to each otherD.dream of meeting each other4.In the darkest moments, the author would prefer to ________.A.ask for professional helpB.be left aloneC.stay with her best friendD.break the silence8. Life affects friendships.As we grow,marry,fight in wars,move across the country or change jobs,old friendships fall away and new ones form.As long as we live,the things around us change,and as long as things change,friendships are affected.When we were children we had best friends.No matter what happened we were still friends.We live our lives,however,and do what life calls for us to do,and as we get older,memories fade,faces blur,and even friends' names from childhood are forgotten.Do you have a question about friendship?Do you wonder what to do with a friend who is no longer friendly?Perhaps you will see that you can't control others.If someone wants to be your friend,it is their choice.All you can do is treat them well and do the best for them when you are with them.Then you wish them well when they leave.You can talk to old timers and they will tell you that life is full of incredible joy and incredible sorrow,and that what bothers you today will one day becomes a memory and the sting(痛苦) will be gone.Seniors might tell you that you will learn more as you get older.They will tell you that friendships come and friendships go.Sometimes when they go it will hurt,but you will be okay with it.It's the way life works,after all.1.What can we learn about friendship,according to the text?A.Friendship can not be easily affected by one's family.B.Friends are always around us and will never go away.C.Friends in childhood are the best no matter what happens.D.Friends in childhood are sometimes forgotten by us.2.What should we do with friends who are no longer friendly according to the text?A.Do our best to control them and make them listen to us.B.Forget them and make new friends who have a lot in common with us.C.Find the reason why our friendship has changed.D.Care about them and do the best for them when we are together.3.What does the underlined words “old timers” mean in the last paragraph?A.Old people.B.Kind people.C.Rich people.D.Smart people.4.The text mainly tells us ________.A.how to face the changes in friendshipB.how to deal with unfriendly peopleC.that childhood friendship is valuableD.how to share happiness with friends5.The text is most probably taken from a _______.A.science newspaperB.novelC.psychology bookD.health magazine9. What’s your opinion about finding good friends? Speaking from my past experience,it is very difficult to find good friends that you can trust but once you have found them,they are worth keeping forever! Therefore,I think friendship is the most important relationship that anybody could have.The qualities I look for in a friend are a good sense of humor and sensitivity.A friend would have to be strong­minded and highly spirited.I think that these qualities are the key qualities to look for in a good friend.Even the best friends can still have arguments between themselves,though usually about more serious topics,rather than the usual childish arguments.Some matters can seriously affect friendship.If one of your friends started experimenting with harmful and dangerous drugs,what would you do? A good friend would try to help as much as possible,while a bad example of a friend would simply shrug and turn a blind eye.Not only the bad things affect friendship—good activities do too,such as bonding with one another,not just by going out on a night with them,but by spending quality time with them and talking to each other.This is a key aspect of a good friendship.Good friends do not always have to be in the same age group as you.I have a good friend and she is 47 years old and I am 16.Unfortunately,some people lose contact with their friends as they grow older,which is a sad way to lose a good friend.I think friendship is one of the most important things in life because if you have no friends you will have no happiness.1.According to the author,true friendship ________.A.is easy to getB.needs managementC.deepens with timeD.affects one’s happiness2.Paragraph 3 is mainly about ________.A.why drugs are bad for teenagersB.whether a friend is reliableC.ways that help avoid argumentsD.problems that will test friendship3.According to the author,which matters least in friendship?A.Confidence.B.Age.C.Sense of humor.munication.4.Which of the following sayings can match the author’s v iew on friendship?A.Old friends and old wines are best.B.A friend without faults will never be found.C.A friend to everybody is a friend to nobody.D.A life without a friend is a life without sunshine.10. Job sharing refers to the situation in which two people divide the responsibility of one full-time job. The two people willingly act as part-time workers, enough hours between them to fulfill the duties of a full-time worker. If they each work half the job, for example, they each receive 50 per cent of the job's wages, its holidays and its other benefits.Job sharing differs from conventional part-time work in that it occurs mainly in the more highly skilled and professional areas, which require higher levels of responsibility and employee commitment.Job sharing should not be confused with the term work sharing, which refers to increasing the number of jobs by reducing the number of hours of each existing job, thus offering more positions to the growing number of unemployed people. Job sharing, by contrast, is not designed to address unemployment problems; its focus, rather, is to provide well-paid work for skilled workers and professionals who want more free time for other activities.As would be expected, most job sharers are women. A survey carried out in 1988 byBritain's Equal Opportunities Commission showed that 78 per cent of sharers were female, the majority of whom were between 20 and 40 years of age. Subsequent studies have come up with similar results. Many of these women were re-entering the job market after having had children, but they chose not to seek part-time work because it would have meant lower status. Job sharing also offered an acceptable shift back into full-time work after a long absence.The necessity of close cooperation when sharing a job with another person makes the actual work quite different from conventional one-position jobs. However, to ensure a greater chance that the partnership will succeed, each person needs toknow the strengths, weaknesses and preferences of his or her partner before applying for a position. Moreover, there must be a fair division of both routine tasks and interesting ones. In sum, for a position to be job-shared well, the two individuals must be well matched and must treat each other as equals.1.In what way is work sharing different from job sharing?A.Work sharing requires more working hours.B.Work sharing is aimed at creating more jobs.C.Work sharing provides a more satisfactory salary.D.Work sharing depends on the employer's decision.2.According to Paragraph 4, young mothers preferred job sharing to conventional part-time work because _______.A.they sought higher social statusB.they were over ideal working agesC.they had difficulty finding full-time jobsD.they had to take care of both work and family3.In job sharing the partners should _____.A.enjoy equal social statusB.have similar work experienceC.keep in touch with each otherD.know each other very well4.The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A.describe job sharing in generalB.discuss how to provide more jobsC.recommend job sharing to womenpare job sharing with work sharing参考答案一、阅读理解1.答案：1.C;2.B;3.C;4.D解析：2.答案：1.B; 2.B;3.D;4.A解析：3.答案：1.A; 2.D; 3.B;4.D解析：4.答案：1.B; 2.C; 3.A; 4.B解析：小题1:细节题:从文章的第一段的句子:it is possible to prevent stress as well as reduce its effect when it can’t be avoided.可知是帮助解决普遍的压力问题。

In my living room, there is a plaque(匾) that advises me to “Bloom(开花) where you are planted.” It reminds me of Dorothy.

话题阅读集训（一）人际关系Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2018·湖南湘潭一中等六校联考)After the earthquake had stopped, when the rescuers reached the ruins of a young woman's house, they saw her dead body through the cracks. But her pose was somehow strange that she knelt on her knees like a person was worshiping (做礼拜); her body was leaning forward, and her two hands were supported by an object. The collapsed house had crashed her back and her head.With so many difficulties, the leader of the rescue team put his hand through a narrow gap on the wall to reach the woman's body. He was hoping that this woman could be still alive. However, the cold and stiff body told him that she had passed away for sure.He and the rest of the team left this house and were going to searchthe next collapsed building. For some reasons, the team leader wasdriven by pelling force to go back to the ruined house of the deadwoman. Again, he knelt down and used his hand through the narrowcracks to search the little space under the dead body. Suddenly, hescreamed with excitement, “A child! There is a child！”The whole team worked together; carefully they removed the piles of ruined objects around the dead woman. There was a 3-month-old little boy wrapped in a flowery blanket under his mother's dead body. Obviously, the woman had made a sacrifice for saving her son. When her house was falling, she used her body to make a cover to protect her son. The little boy was still sleeping peacefully when the team leader picked him up.The medical doctor came quickly to exam the little boy. After he opened the blanket, he saw a cellphone. There was a text message on the screen. It said, “If you can survive, you must remember that I love you.” This cellphone was passing around from one hand to another.

Take, for example,the story of one 10-year-old boy who decided to study judo despite the fact that 1 .The boy began lessons with an old Japanese judo master. The boy was doing well, sohe couldn't understand why, after three months of training, the master had taughthim only one move."Sensei," the boy finally said, " 2 ""This isthe only move you know, but this is the only move you'll ever need to know," the sensei replied.

粉色番红花只开了一天。
但却为我的一生树立了信念。
It was an autumn morning shortly after my husband and I moved into our first house. Our children were upstairs unpacking, and I was looking out of the window at my father moving around mysteriously on the front lawn. My parents lived nearby, and Dad had visited us several times already. “What are you doing out there?” I called to him.He looked up, smiling. “I’m making you a surprise.” Knowing my father, I thought it could be just about anything. A self-employed jobber, he was always building things out of odds and ends. When we were kids, he always created something surprising for us.Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught up in the business of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise.Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed out side for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favori te pink --- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my ne eds?My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost ov er. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.It was Dad’s birthday, and I foun d myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocu s.How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.【文章大意】作者描述了父亲在秋天为她种下了番红花，以帮助她驱赶冬天的压抑。

The little girl who had to use a basketball as her prosthetic body .In 2000, Qian Hongyan, was injured tragically in a car accident when she was only 3 years ol d.
