I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenage girl, and I couldn't bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads. Coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that use d to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something. “I’m awfully sorry，” I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn't stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; it seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
1.The girl refused to ask for help because she thought ________．
A．she might be recognized

D．being found blind was embarrassing
2.After the girl got off the bus that evening, she ________．
A．began to run
B．hit a person as usual
C．hit a lamppost by accident
D．was caught by something
3.At the request stop that evening, the girl ________．
A．stopped a big lorry
B．stopped the wrong bus
C．made no attempt to stop the bus
D．was not noticed b y other people
4.What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A．Other vehicles also stopped there.
B．It was unreliable for making judgments.
C．More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D．It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
5.Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping ________．
A．to find people there
B．to find more buses there
C．to find the bus by herself there
D．to find people more helpful there

根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括出每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。(E=A+B; F=A+C)
A. Don't be afraid of risks. B. Find ways to solve problems. C. Learn from successful people. D. Do not give up easily. E. Know the meaning of success. F. Enjoy facing your failure. |
1.
You cannot have success if you don't know what it means to you. Set clear goals and be realistic. Your standards should be specific or else you will spend your entire time chasing (追寻) after a vague goal. For example, you want to be good at your job. However, this is not a specific goal .Instead , specify this goal as: “My goal is to only be late for work five times per year, at the most.” This is a specific goal that when achieved, give you a sense of satisfaction and completion, making you feel successful and confident.
2.
Look around--who has the success that you envision(想象) for yourself? What are they doing? How do they approach a successful life? Become their students. Ask them for advice. Spend time around them, if you can. Learn from them. They will bring you much useful experience.
3.
Successful people think big and act big. It can be scary to do, but if you don't, then how will you ever be successful? Don't wait for opportunities. Dig them out. Successful people make big investments ( in their careers, in their business, in their education ) and all investments involve some degree of risk. Study your risks, and be brave.
4.
People who are successful like solving problems and answering questions. No matter where you are or what you're doing, look around and try to think of ways you can find, for example, what are people struggling with or complaining about? How can you make life easier for them in an effective way? Can you redesign or reorganize some aspects of the situation so that things can run more smoothly?
5.
You should learn to persist. It is also the key factor to success. When asked about his 10,000 failed attempts to develop a storage battery, the prolific(多产的) American inventor Thomas Edison replied: "I have not failed; I've just found 10,000 ways that won't work. So, if your first attempt didn't work, don't quit and don't give up."

About six years ago I was eating lunch in a restaurant in New York City when a woman and a young boy sat down at the next table. I couldn’t help overhearing parts of their conversation. At one point the woman asked, “So, how have you been?” And the boy --- who could not have been more than seven or eight years old ---replied, “Frankly, I’ve been feeling a little depressed lately.”
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn’t find out we were “depressed” until we were in high school.
The evidence of a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don’t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to. Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it is certainly different. Children as they once were on longer exists. Why?
Human development is based not only on innate biological states, but also on patterns of access to social knowledge. Movement from one social route to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new status. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages: traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation machine has been installed in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information indiscriminately to all viewers alike, be they children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation, many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more vivid moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information to which children have access. Reading and writing involve a complex code of symbols that must be memorized and practiced. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
1.According to the author, feeling depressed is ________.
A. a sure sign of a psychological problem in children’s mental development
B. something rarely expected in children’s mental development
C. an inevitable thing in children’s mental development
D. something usually experienced in children’s mental development
2.What does the underlined word innate in Paragraph 4 mean ?
A. something a person is born with
B. something a person is tired of
C. something a person is expected of
D. something a person is dreaming of
3.What of the following statement is NOT true according to the last paragraph?
A. Communication through print helps children develop their reading skills.
B. Communication through print helps children access more social information.
C. Communication through print helps children command a complex code of symbols.
D. Communication through print helps children read different materials at random.
4.What is the attitude of the author about today’s children?
A. He feels shocked by their premature behavior.
B. He thinks it is a phenomenon unworthy of note.
C. He considers it a positive social development.
D. He seems to be concerned about the tendency.

This November, I turn 26. This will be my third birthday as a wife. My husband doesn’t like parties nor does he remember the birthdays of his family members, including his own birthday! And he always refuses the idea of celebrating birthdays. For him it is only a waste of money and time! For me, celebrating a birthday is not a big deal as long as somebody remembers my birthday and says “happy birthday” to me, which will make my day brighter. And I’m sure my parents will call me and say these words, but not my husband. In my heart I still hope that he will remember my birthday. Until now, I only remember cebelebrating my birthday twice. The first time was when I turn 12 years old. I treated my close friends to a meal in the school canteen. But I will always remember my 17th birthday. It seemed that nobody in my class talked about my birthday that day. I thought there would be no celebrating so I felt unhappy.

①During the First World War, some Americans indirectly benefited because of the war. With two million white men fighting in Europe and no new immigrants entering the country, many jobs in the United States became available to blacks and women for the first time.
②Both groups proved their ability to do any kind of job. Women became railway conductors, brick layers, and factory workers. Their presence in traditionally male workplace produced many problems. Men were annoyed by women’s higher productivity and willingness to work for lower pay. Working mothers were often criticized for leaving their families. But many women welcomed the responsibilities. “It was not until our men were called overseas,” said one woman bank executive, “that we make any real onslaught on the realm of finance, and became tellers, managers of departments, and junior and senior officers.”
③Women who did not take jobs helped in the war effort in other ways. They made uniforms, rolled bandages, and campaigned for the sale of Liberty Bonds to help finance the war.
④American manufacturers offered jobs to large numbers of black Americans for the first time as a result of the war. Most factories were located in the North. To take advantage of these new job opportunities, many black families moved from their homes in the South to the Northern cities such as Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Buffalo, Chicago, and Detroit.
⑤White Americans were of two minds about the role of black Americans in the war effort. On the one hand, black workers’ ability to learn new jobs quickly and do them well strengthened the home front, and the black men’s fighting ability helped the Allies win the war. However, many whites did not want to acknowledge that blacks were capable, effective workers. White soldiers returning from the war had no desire to compete for jobs with blacks on equal terms. At the same time, many blacks were not willing to a lesser role once the war had ended.
1.Why could American women and backs find jobs during World War I?
A. They were taken to serve the war.
B. They had their equal right at that time.
C. Workforce was in great need.
D. They had better productivities.
2.Which of the following is Untrue according to the above passage?
A. Blacks women were not allowed to fight in World War I.
B. All American women went to work during World War I.
C. Northern cities applied more blacks during World War I.
D. Women and blacks earned a lot during World War I.
3.Which of the following is the main idea of the whole passage?
A. Americans benefited a lot from World Ward I.
B. World War I had strong effect on America.
C. Some Americans benefited from World War I indirectly.
D. U.S.A. women and blacks contributed much in World War I.
4.Which of the following shows the right structures of the above passage?
A. ①→②③→④⑤ B. ①→①→③→④→⑤
C. ①→②③→④→⑤ D. ①②③→④→⑤
