无法看清现状能力就没有价值During a research experiment a marine biologist placed a shark into a large holding tank and then released several small bait fish into the tank.在一个研究实验中,一个海洋生物学家把一条鲨鱼放进一个大的水箱中,然后投放了一些小的诱饵鱼进去。

As you would expect, the shark quickly swam around the tank, attacked and ate the smaller fish.你可能已经预料到了,鲨鱼快速地在水箱里四处游动,攻击并吃掉了那些较小的鱼。

The marine biologist then inserted a strong piece of clear fiberglass into the tank, creating two separate partitions. She then put the shark on one side of the fiberglass and a new set of bait fish on the other.然后海洋生物学家将一面强韧的透明纤维玻璃插入到容器中,创建了两个单独的分区。

然后,她把鲨鱼放在纤维玻璃的一边,另一边是一组新的诱饵鱼。

Again, the shark quickly attacked. This time, however, the shark slammed into the fiberglass divider and bounced off. Undeterred, the shark kept repeating this behavior every few minutes to no avail. Meanwhile, the bait fish swam around unharmed in the second partition. Eventually, about an hour into the experiment, the shark gave up.再次,鲨鱼迅速攻击。

Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed in action. But asa young girl. I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface “.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace — it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-paper letter, folded and refolded many times. It was my letter.“In any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”21. The writer began to love her mother's desk________.A. after Mother diedB. before she became a writerC. when she was a childD. when Mother gave it to her22. The passage shows that_________.A. Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughterB. Mother was too serious about her daughter in wordsC. Mother wrote to her daughter in careful wordsD. Mother wrote to her daughter in careless words23. The underlined word “gulf” in the third passage means_______.A. deep misunderstanding between the old and the youngB. different ideas between mother and daughterC. free talks between mother and daughterD. part of the sea going far in land24. What did Mother do with her daughter's letter asking for forgiveness?A. She had never received the letter.B. For years, she often talked about the letter.C. She didn't forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D. She read the letter again and again till she died.25. What's best title of the passage?A. My letter to MotherB. Mother and childrenC. My Mother's DeskD. Talks between Mother and meBCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help on the next test— unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can't pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn't a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn't study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.26. The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,________.A. it is unfair to other peopleB. it does harm to their healthC. teachers should punish themD. teachers shouldn't stop them at once27. Some students like cheating mainly because_________.A. the material in the test is very difficultB. they want to do better than the othersC. cheating can make hard things seem very easyD. they have little time to study their lessons28. The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.A. cheating isn't a good ideaB. why kids cheat in the testC. some kids can't pass the test without cheatingD. some kids don't spend the time studying29. We can learn from the passage______.A. cheaters are often thought highly ofB. people show no respect for those who cheatC. parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD. kids cheat in the test because of swim practice30.

He got $ 10 for each A.”I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cellphone, and the portable DVD player?I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle vanish before my eyes—no more of those $ 5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal attained by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns, runs-batted-in? What about orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I’d be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizz a, but that’s about it.”Don’t you just hate that? We’re all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation.21.The sentence “As the homework load increased, my income would decrease.” in the third paragraph probably means _____________.A.taking care of the children would influence my workB.I would spend more money on my children’s homeworkC.reducing children’s homework load would cost me a lotD.more rewards would be needed as the children grew up22.We can tell from the passage that the author’s son was in ___________.A. primary schoolB. junior middle schoolC. high schoolD. university23.It can be inferred from the passage that ____________.A.if you pay the children for good grades, they would take it for grantedB.if you buy children pizza for good grades, they would work harderC.children would not ask for rewards when they enter high schoolD.children would not ask for rewards when they enter university24.The example of the author’s neighbor shows that ____________.A.pizza is the best way to motivate childrenB.reward is not the only way to motivate childrenC.the author’s neighbor was very poorD.the author’s neighbor’s son didn’t like reward25.What is the author’s attitude toward paying children reward for good grades?A.Favorable B.Ambiguous C.Disagreeable D.NeutralBI was born an albino. No one in my family had ever known what an albino was, what it meant to be an albino, and what had to be done differently because I was an albino.My parents treated me just like they treated everybody else. That was just about the best thing they could have done. It helped me trust myself, so when the annoyances came along, I could deal with them.True, my photo always looked like a snowball with two pieces of coal for eyes. Kids would tease me, asking if I was joining the circus and calling me “Whitey”. Like most albinos, I had terrible eyesight, and my grades suffered until eventually I overcame my feeling ashamed of myself and realized it was okay to ask to sit in the front of the classroom so I could see the blackboard better. People stared at me when I held reading material right at the tip of my nose so I could see it well enough to read. Even when I was eight or nine, movie-theater clerks started asking me to pay adult prices because I “looked older”.The worst part for me was that because my eyesight was so bad, I couldn’t play sports very well. I didn’t give up trying, though. And I studied harder.Eventually, I got better at school and loved it. By the time I got to college I was double majoring, going to summer school and devoting myself to every kind of extracurricular activity I could find. I had learned to be prou d of being an albino. I did my best to make “albino” a positive word. And I decided to make my living with my eyes.I couldn’t see well enough to play sports, but with a solid education and the drive to do it. I could make a living involved in the field I loved. I’ve done it now for more than thirty years in print and in video, and now in cyberspace. People make jokes about how I’m the only “blind editor” they know, but most of the time the jokes are signs of respect. And I make jokes about being an albino.I was just a proud albino kid from the coal country of Pennsylvania. I now realize that being born an albino helped me to overcome difficulties, gain confidence, and be proud of my personal achievement and humble about my professional accomplishments.26. What is an albino according to the passage?A. Someone with bad eyesight.B. Someone with some kind of disease.C. Someone who looks older than his age.D. Someone who joins the circus.27. What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. The fact that the author was born an albino.B. What had to be done differently to the author.C. The way that the author’s parents treated him.D. The fact that the author had no idea what an albino was.28. Which of the following statements is true?A. The author’s study was affected by his eyesight at first.B. The author had to pay adult prices for movies when he was still young.C. Despite his bad eyesight, the author played sport well.D. “Albino” has already become a positive word now.29. Why are people’s jokes about the author mostly signs of respect?A. Because he is an albino.B. Because he has a solid education.C. Because they think he is a great “blind editor”.D. Because they think he is proud of his achievement.30.

Americans hold both the fork and the knife in their right hands throughout the meal, so they continually change their forks to the left hand when they have to cut their meat. It seems to be funny for the Europeans to see Americans busy changing their dinner sets, making a lot of noises.A few explanations for this American style are as follows:Americans are practical and efficient. Since most of us are right-handed, it is reasonable to keep our working tools at all times in our right hands that can use them most efficiently.Americans, the master of the New World are rebels. They use the zigzag method to break the rules in the Old World and in this way they are thumbing their nose at Mother England. Americans are a restless kind. They do not like to sit in one spot for very long when dining.Forced to do so, they re spond by “playing” with the silver.Whatever the reason for the practice, it is now certainly as American as apple pie. Europeans recognize this and are quick to attack it as evidence of American innocence of form. Arguments against the zigzag method rest not only on grounds of efficiency but also on those of tradition. InOld World Dining, the knife is held in the right hand continually because it can serve as an instant defense against the uninvited intruders (入侵者). However, such alertness(警觉) is out of place in the New World, as every American believes that this is the home of the brave. Americans juggle their silverware, perhaps, to show that they are not afraid and that one of them holding a fork is worth any number of them holding blades.21. Americans use _________ to hold their fork to pick up the salad.A. the right handB. the left handC. both handsD. either of the two hands22. As the masters of the New World, Americans use a different cutting method from that in the Old World to___________.A. show their independence of Mother EnglandB. show their disrespect to Mother EnglandC. add a new tradition to those in Mother EnglandD. show off their creativeness to Mother England23. In the sentence, the underlined word “juggle” probably me ans _______________ .A. holdB. play withC. pick upD. lay down24. Also in the last sentence, the two underlined “them” refer to ______________.A. AmericansB. EuropeansC. Americans and Europeans separatelyD. Europeans and Americans separately25. The following statements are true except that __________.A. European people hold the fork in the left hand and the knife in the right handB. the zigzag eating method is related to American characteristicsC. the zigzag eating method has become an American featureD. European people will use the American method because of its efficiencyBBirthdays often involve surprises. But this year's surprise on the birthday of the great British playwright William Shakespeare is surely one of the most dramatic.On April 22, one day before his 441st birthday anniversary, experts discovered that one of the most recognizable portraits of William Shakespeare is a fake. This means that we no longer have a good idea of what Shakespeare looked like. "It's very possible that many pictures of Shakespeare might be unreliable because many of them are copies of this one," said an expert from Britain's National Portrait Gallery.The discovery comes after four months of testing using X-rays, ultraviolet light, microphotography and paint samples. The experts from the gallery say the image —commonly known as the "Flower portrait"—was actually painted in the 1800s, about two centuries after Shakespeare's death. The art experts who work at the gallery say they also used modern chemistry technology to check the paint on the picture. These checks found traces of paint dating from about 1814. Shakespeare died in 1616, and the date that appears on the portrait is 1609."We now think the portrait dates back to around 1818 to 1840. This was when there was a renewed interest in Shakespeare's plays," Tarnya Cooper, the gallery's curator (馆长), told the Associated President.The fake picture has often been used as a cover for collections of his plays. It is called the Flower portrait because one of its owners, Desmond Flower, gave it to the Royal Shakespeare Company."There have always been questions about the painting," said David Howells, curator for the Royal Shakespeare Company. "Now we know the truth, we can put the image in its proper place in the history of Shakespearean portraiture."Two other images of Shakespeare, are also being studied as part of the investigation (调查) and the results will come out later this month.___________________________________________________________________________.26.

我的暑假第十五天:(3)Mark, a young person, tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people, but I also explain that there’s a big difference between “being a writer〞 and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth and fame, not the long hours alone at a typewriter. “You’ve got to want to write,〞I say to them, “not want to be a writer.〞The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair. For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded(报答). When I left a 20-year job in the U. S. Coast Guard to become a writer, I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me my room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself. It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write. I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering “what if〞.I would keep putting my dream to the test — even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.1. The passage is meant to _______.A. warn young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experienceB. advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writerC. show young people it’s unrealistic for writers to seek wealth and fameD. encourage young people to seek good jobs2. What can be concluded from the passage?A. Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.B. A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on eff ort.C. Famous writers usually live in poverty.D. The chances for a writer to become successful are small3. Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing work?A. He wasn’t able to produce a single book.B. He hadn’t seen a change for the better.C. He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.D. He found his dream would never come true.4. “Shadow land〞 in the last sentence refers to _______.A. the wonderland one often dreams aboutB. the bright future that one is looking forward toC. a world that exists only in one’s imaginationD. the state of uncertainty before one’s final goal is reached(4)In Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard “craze(热潮)〞. People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection.When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Dr op me a card〞was as common then as “give me a ring〞 as now.In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side couldbe used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.1. In Britain in the 1890s, _______.A. people were interested in sending cardsB. people were interested in playing cardsC. people were interested in collecting postcardsD. people were interested in buying postcards2. “Give me a ring〞 in the passage means _______.A. send me a gold ringB. send me a cardC. give me a telephone callD. give me a bell ring3. Which statement is TRUE?A. Postcards were not used in the 19th century.B. It was not until 1902 that the simple postcard as we know was created.C. Postcards were used only for collection in the 1890s.D. There was no message on the old postcard.4. Choose the best title for the passage.A. Postcards Old and NewB. Postcard Clubs in the 1890sC.

In British English “Sir〞and “Madam〞 are considered to be too formal(正式) for most situations. They are used mostly to customers(顾客) in shops or restaurants. While in American English “Sir〞and “Madam〞 are not so formal and are commonly used between strangers, especially with older people whose names you don’t know.3. When you talk to some people you know, you can use their names. If you are friends, use their fir st names; if your relationship is more formal, use “Mr〞, “Mrs〞, “Ms〞, etc, before their family names.4. There are many other forms of address which can be used between friends and strangers. However, many of these are limited in use. For example, “pal〞 a nd “mate〞 can be used between strangers, but are usually only used by men talking to other men.1. According to the passage, “Excuse me〞 is mainly used to ______.A. address a person you don’t knowB. apologize to othersC. catch the attention of a strangerD. suggest good manners2.

倾听的英文作文模板高中

倾听的英文作文模板高中英文:Listening is an essential skill in communication. It is not just about hearing what the other person says, but also understanding their perspective and feelings. As a good listener, I always try to give my full attention to the speaker and show empathy towards their situation.One way to show that I am listening is through active listening. This means that I am fully engaged in the conversation and responding appropriately to what the speaker is saying. For example, if someone is telling me about their problems, I might say, "I understand how you feel" or "That must be really difficult for you." These responses show that I am not just hearing their words, but also acknowledging their emotions.Another way to show that I am listening is through nonverbal cues. This includes maintaining eye contact,nodding my head, and using facial expressions to show that I am interested and engaged in the conversation. For example, if someone is telling me a funny story, I might smile or laugh to show that I am enjoying the conversation.中文:倾听是沟通中必不可少的技能。

【经典实用】M1Reading Practice and Cultural Corner 要点精讲练1.When someone talks, everyone is expected to listen, no matter how dull the person's speaking may be. (P11) 当一个人发表见解时,不管他说得多么无聊,其他人都应该倾听。

no matter how+adj./adv...引导让步状语从句,可用however +adj./adv...来代替。

另外,whoever,whomever,whosever,whatever,whichever,whenever,wherever等,可以转换为no matter who(what,when,where,which...)。

但是whatever,whichever,whoever,whomever可以引导主语从句及宾语从句,此时不可以换成no matter...的形式。

No matter who(=Whoever) knocks,don't open the door.不管是谁敲门,都不要开。

Whoever comes will be welcome.=Anyone who comes will be welcome.(whoever引导的是主语从句,whoever在从句中做主语)所有来的人都将受到欢迎。

2.But while few American will worry about the questions you may ask, particularly if you clearly show you're aware of cultural differences, they may hesitate before they ask you similar questions. (P11)不过极个别的美国人将非常担心你可能会问的问题,尤其是你明确表明你对文化差异很了解时,他们可能在问你类似的问题非常犹豫。

I realize this may sound super dorky. You're probably thinking that I must be pretty weird and very lonely. Interestingly enough, I was way more lonely before I started spending time alone. The feeling like I needed to be around people all the time to take a deep breath -- that was loneliness. The feeling of complete anxiety and fear when a boyfriend broke up with me -- that was loneliness. But this? This is peace. This is fun. This is what self-esteem is built of.

He clearly showed similarities.Despite his many achievements he was given no award by the British state until late in his life.From about 1870, Thomas Henry Huxley was too involved in other things to continue actual research.He had always been interested in education.He pioneered the teaching of biology and his method of selecting “type animals” is still followed today.He spent the last ten years of his life writing essays mainly on biology.语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。

倾听类英语作文模板高中Listening is an essential skill that everyone should develop, as it plays a crucial role in effective communication and understanding. In this essay, we will explore the importance of listening, the benefits of being a good listener, and some tips on how to improve listening skills.First and foremost, listening is important because it allows us to understand others and their perspectives. When we truly listen to someone, we are able to comprehend their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. This, in turn, helps us to build empathy and connect with others on a deeper level. In addition, effective listening is a key component of successful communication. By listening attentively, we can avoid misunderstandings, conflicts, and misinterpretations, leading to more productive and harmonious relationships.Furthermore, being a good listener has numerous benefits. For instance, it can enhance our personal and professional relationships. When we listen to others, we show them that we value and respect their opinions. This can foster trust and rapport, leading to stronger bonds with friends, family, colleagues, and clients. Additionally, good listening skills can improve our problem-solving abilities. By carefully listening to others' concerns and ideas, we can gain valuable insights and perspectives that can help us find creative solutions to various challenges.Now, let's discuss some practical tips on how to improve listening skills. Firstly, it's important to eliminate distractions and focus on the speaker. This means putting away electronic devices, making eye contact, and giving the speaker our full attention. Secondly, we should practice active listening, which involves showing interest, asking relevant questions, and providing feedback to demonstrate that we are engaged in the conversation. Thirdly, it's helpful to be open-minded and non-judgmental when listening to others. By setting aside our preconceived notions and biases, we can truly understand and appreciate the speaker's point of view.In addition, developing empathy is crucial for becoming a better listener. Empathy allows us to connect with others on an emotional level and understand their feelings and experiences. This can be achieved by actively trying to put ourselves in the speaker's shoes and imagining how they might be feeling. Moreover, it's important to practice patience and avoid interrupting the speaker. Allowing the speaker to express themselves fully without interruptions shows respect and allows for a more meaningful exchange of ideas.In conclusion, listening is a vital skill that can greatly enhance our personal and professional lives. By being good listeners, we can improve our communication, build stronger relationships, and gain valuable insights from others. By following the tips mentioned above and practicing active listening, empathy, and patience, we can become more effective and empathetic listeners. Ultimately, developing strong listening skills is an investment that can lead to greater understanding, harmony, and success in our interactions with others.。

Day 10新闻报道AThe average American family will spend somewhere around $637 on back-to-school supplies for each elementary school child this year and twice that for a high school student. Add to that the fact that both children and parents feel anxious about the transition (过渡) of going back to school at the end of summer. For this, Jermaine Smith of Cleveland and four other barbers decided to cut hair for about 40 kids and teens for free last Saturday.In fact, Smith has been giving back to the community in other ways long before this weekend. He cuts hair by day, but in the evenings, after bringing his daughter home from school, he goes to work as a police officer.“A lot of parents bring their kids to me for haircuts because I’m a police officer. They trust me because they think that I teach kids to do the right things in the barber shop. I always tell young men that they always get to stay neat and attractive, and people tend to treat them with respect,” Smith says. “When you get your hair cut, you look go od and feel good.”Maybe a service that would only cost $15 regularly seems like just a drop in the bucket, but child and teen psychologist Dr. Barbara Greenberg sees this as more than just a one-time free service. Other free haircut and school supply events have appeared unexpectedly all across the country this month, as organizers have recognized how much parents can use this extra help.Greenberg says, “One of the ways to make a transition easier is to make it fun and introduce something new or unusual, so the whole idea of getting a haircut makes kids feel special and important.” The haircuts were just part of the Start School on the Right Foot event, which also handed out about 50 backpacks full of school supplies.1.
