Question

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.

He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”

I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure (珍惜) all your life!

试题分析：短文大意：在我12岁的时候，我有一个女孩总是喜欢指出我的缺点。我听后很生气。我跑到我的父亲那里诉说我的怨气。他听完后，然后要求我去做一个列表，看看她说的哪些是真的。我按他说的做了，让我惊讶的是，我发现大约一半的东西都是真的。

1.推理判断题。根据第二段末Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.可知该选C。

2.第三段I did as he told me and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.可知该选A。

3.标题归纳题。读短文可知作者非常感谢他父亲给他的建议，所以该选D。
