短文一Plato柏拉图One day, Plato asked his teacher, “What is love? How can I find it?”柏拉图有一天问老师苏格拉底：“什么是爱情?我如何找到它? ”His teacher answered, “There is a vast wheat field in front. Walk forward without turning back, and pick only one stalk. If you find the most magnificent stalk, then you have found love.”老师回答说：“前面有一片广袤的麦田。
你一直往前走，不要回头，摘一棵麦穗。
如果你摘到最大最好的麦穗，你就找到爱情了。
”Plato thought it was easy, so he walked forward confidently. But it was a long time beforehe returned with empty hands, having picked nothing. His teacher asked,“Why did you not pick any stalk?” Plato answered, “Because I could only pick once, and yet I could not turn back. I did find the most magnificent stalk, but did not know if there were any better ones ahead, so I did not pick it. As I walked further, the stalks that I saw were not as good as the earlier one, so I did not pick any in the end.”柏拉图觉得很容易，充满信心地出去。

U11无2在佛罗伦萨这个城市里，吃的、睡的、和呼吸的都是艺术。
人类艺术天赋的典范几乎矗立在每一条街上，成打的博物馆和美工艺品店等待着您去探索。
意大利的佛罗伦萨是艺术爱好者的天堂。
在文艺复兴时期（或称艺术重生时期），佛罗伦萨对艺术家们本身就是个天堂，事实上在五百多年前，文艺复兴就在这儿发迹了。
在这之前，艺术作品完全集中在宗教主题上，而文艺复兴时期的艺术则包含更多变化的风貌，艺术家们描绘一般人物的画像，也绘画希腊罗马神话中的历史和人物。
米开朗基罗是佛罗伦萨艺术家中的佼佼者。
游客们在阿卡得米亚博物馆前大排长龙达好几个钟头之久，为了一睹他感人的大作「大卫像」的丰采，这一尊十四英尺高的雕像已经成为文艺复兴时期最完美的一尊人物塑像，「大卫像」是一种典范，表现出米开朗基罗雕塑人像简洁而有力的风格。
在维琪奥宫可以看到更多米开朗基罗的作品，这栋建筑在1299年至1322年曾是佛罗伦萨政府的所在地。
著名意大利艺术家的画作和雕刻作品，摆满了宫中的各厅室。
米开朗基罗也协助装饰其外观，他在宫墙上雕刻头像，有一个传说提到，为了跟人打赌，米开朗基罗背对着墙，两手背在后面雕刻头像。
离维琪奥宫不远的地方座落着翡冷翠教堂广场。
华丽圆顶的翡冷翠教堂，或称「神的殿堂」，花了将近150年才建造完工（1294-1436），并由当时最著名的工程师设计而成。
今日的游客仍惊叹于这个圆顶，它是教堂中最引人注目像皇冠似的一景。
时至今日，在佛罗伦萨没有任何一栋建筑高过这个圆顶的。
教堂文物博物馆耸立于附近，这栋建筑曾经是那些为此座教堂定制艺术品的人的办公室，今天它收藏了过去装饰教堂外观的雕像。
稍作散步一番走过佛罗伦萨狭窄的小巷，游客将来到著名的乌菲齐美术馆。
这栋建筑建于1560年间，当年是作为办公之用（乌菲齐在意大利语中是办公室的意思）。
今日，它则以其出色的艺术收藏而自豪，游客们一定得穿着舒适的鞋子去参观，因为要一探这个美术馆得花好几个小时的时间。
收藏中一些著名的作品包括有波提切利的「春」和「维也纳的诞生」。

课时规范训练(一)Ⅰ.阅读理解A(2017·黑龙江大庆模拟)It is really a happy thing to look back on the days I spent with Jennie. We met in night school. After Jennie and I had completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred(同类的) spirits.“He's a difficult little character，” I explained.Jennie looked thoughtful.“Maybe you're only seeing him with your eyes.” She was silent for a moment and then added softly，“It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.” I stared at her.“You're quoting (引用) that! It's from The Little Prince, Antoine de SaintExupery's book for children, one of my favorites. You know it, too？”Jennie nodded.“I love it.I've read it so often.I've practically memorized it.”Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book because Jennie—more than anyone I know—possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn't that I didn't have an excellent relationship with my husband and son, but my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters.I realize, now，how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life—things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourthgrade problem child.One_day_I_was_at_my_wit's_end.“What he needs is a good beating！” I shouted.“He's probably had plenty of those，” Jennie said.“Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day.” I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.Looking back, I have to admit that she taught me so much. The days I spent with her have become one of my happiest memories.1．What does the underlined part mean in the fourth paragraph?A．I was unsure of how to deal with my son.B．I decided to give up my job.C．I faced financial difficulties.D．I was very disappointed with myself.2．How did the author and Jennie's friendship start to grow?A．They both were interested in children's education.B．They both liked a novel, The Little Prince.C．They often chatted together about their hobbies.D．They both studied in the same school.3．We learn from the text that ________.A．the author has the gift of seeing with the heartB．the author had many sisters before meeting JennieC．the author had lost her mother before her marriageD．the author seldom praised her son in the past4．The text is mainly about ________.A．how to control children properlyB．the fact that we should see nature differentlyC．the influence of friendship in lifeD．how friendship begins and disappears【语篇导读】文章讲述作者和珍妮因为《小王子》这本书而成为朋友，从此珍妮对作者的生活有了很大的影响。

I was sent to some of the city's worst neighborhoods to solicit door-to-door. Even though I was often scrambling around after dark in bad areas searching for garage apartments, I was grateful for the work.克林特·布莱克——报纸推销员14岁的时候，我得到了一份放学后的零工——为我家乡的报纸《休斯顿邮报》推销订单。
我被派去向城里一些最难对付的住户挨家挨户地征求订单。
即使常常要在天黑之后到治安混乱的地区去寻找那些带车库的公寓，但我仍然对得到这份工作心存感激。
It was a challenge because people didn't like a stranger knocking on their door, especially a kid trying to get them to buy something. One time, a man slammed his door in my face and screamed, "I Don't want no damn paper." I forced myself to knock again and was able to tell him how great the paper was. I ended up selling him a subscription. I was soon among the top subscription sellers and, like other successful salesmen, was given responsibility for training newcomers.这是一项挑战，因为人们不喜欢一个陌生人来敲自己的房门，尤其是一个试图让他们买东西的孩子。

有一次，一个男人在我面前"砰"的一声关上了门并尖叫道:"我不想订什么该死的报纸。
"我强迫自己再次敲他的门，告诉他这是一份多么精彰的报纸。
最后，他签了一份订单。
我很快就跻身于高销量订单推销员之列，并像其他成功的销售员一样，开始负责培训新人。
Around this time I started playing the harmonica and guitar. Before long I was playing in a band at chili cook-offs and other events. When I turned 18, I focused my attention on becoming a professional musician. I never lost sight of this dream. I'm sure my perseverance came from what I learned knocking on strangers' doors.在此期间，我开始演奏口琴和吉他。
不久之后，我就加入了一支乐队，在辣椒烹饪比赛和其他活动中表演。
18岁的时候，我开始致力于成为一名职业音乐人。
我从没有忘记过这个梦想。
我相信，这种坚定不移的精神就是我在学会敲开陌生人的房门的过程中形成的。
That experience helped me in many ways. Early in my music career I was locked in a legal dispute with a former manager. He pressured me to back off, but I refused.那种经历在许多方面都对我非常有益。
在我音乐生涯的初期，我曾纠缠于与一位前任经纪人的法律争议之中。
他强迫我离开，但我拒绝了。
Having all those doors slammed in my face as a kid gave me the strength to stand up to this intimidating figure. Except this time there was one difference: I was the one saying no. And I won.所有那些吃闭门羹的经历给了我力量，使我能够勇敢地与这个威胁我的人对抗。
只有这一次不同:我是那个说"不"的人。
我赢了。
Louis Caldera-The Parking-Lot Sweeper Both my parents came from towns in Mexico. I was born in EI Paso, Texas, and when I was four, my family moved to a housing project in East Los Angeles.路易斯·卡尔德——控停车场清洁员我的父母都来自墨西哥的小镇。
我出生在得克萨斯州的埃尔帕索市，在我4岁的时候，我们全家搬到了洛杉矶东部的一个住宅区。
Even though we struggled to make ends meet, my parents stressed to me and my four brothers and sisters how fortunate we were to live in a great country with limitless opportunities. They imbued in us the concepts of family, faith and patriotism.尽管我们挣扎度日，勉强维持收支平衡，但我的父母仍然对我和我的4个兄弟姐妹强调我们多么幸运，能够生活在一个充满无限机遇的伟大国家里。
他们向我们灌输家庭、信念和爱国精神的观念。
I got my first real job when I was ten. My dad, Benjamin, injured his back working in a cardboard-box factory and was retrained as a hairstylist. He rented space in a little strip mall and gave his shop the fancy name of Mr. Ben's Coiffure.10岁的时候，我得到了第一份真正的工作。
我的父亲本杰明在一家纸箱厂工作的时候，后背受伤了，他学习成为一名美发师。
他在一条商业小街上租了一个地方，给自己的店铺起了一个奇特的名字——本先生发型店。
The owner of the shopping center gave Dad a discount on his rent for cleaning the parking lot three nights a week, which meant getting up at 3a.m. To pick up trash, Dad used a little machine that looked like a lawn mower. Mom and I emptied garbage cans and picked up litter by hand. It took two to three hours to clean the lot. I'd sleep in the car on the way home.商业街的业主在租金上给爸爸打了折，条件是每周3个晚上清理停车场，那就意味着要在凌晨3点起床。
爸爸用一部看上去像割草机一样的机器来收垃圾;我和妈妈倾倒垃圾桶，用手来捡垃圾。
清理这个停车场需要用2至3个小时。
在回家的路上，我睡在车上。
I did this for two years, but the lessons I learned have lasted a lifetime. I acquired discipline and a strong work ethic, and learned at an early age theimportance of balancing life's competing interests-in my case, school, Homework and a job. This really helped during my senior year of high school , when I worked 40 hours a week flipping burgers at a fast-food joint while taking a full load of college-prep courses.这个工作我做了两年，但学到的东西却使我受益一生。
我养成了自律性和坚定的工作道德，并小小年纪就懂得了在有冲突的生活利益——我自己的事情、学校、家务和工作之间掌握平衡的重要性。
在我中学的最后一年期间，这真的对我有很大帮助，当时我正在学习全部大学预科课程，准备考大学，与此同时，我每周还要工作物个小时，在一家快餐连锁店做汉堡。
The hard work paid off. I attended the U.S. Military Academy and went on to receive graduate degrees in law and business from Harvard. Later, I joined a big Los Angeles law firm and was elected to the California state assembly. In these jobs and in everything else I've done, I haven ever forgotten those nights in the parking lot. The experience taught me that there is dignity in all work and that if people are working to provide for themselves and their families, that is something we should honor.艰苦的努力获利了丰厚的回报。
