【题目】阅读理解
It's a Saturday morning, and I am eager to fly away.My husband and I will meet up with our son on the other side of the country to learn and explore together.Sitting now at the airport gate,my husband wanders away to stretch his legs.Moments later,he returns and whispers in my ear.I rise and follow him around the comer toward a large window facing the landing area.
On the road, Marines stand straight and the plane door is open.A white hearse(灵车)is parked nearby.A man and a soldier stand on either side of a woman,supporting her and waiting for what is to come.Airport personnel stand in reverent stillness.A few people place their hands over their hearts,as I have done.We're joined in witness,sending respect to an honorable soldier whose name we'll never know.
The woman looks heartbroken. She cries, knowing she will never hear "Mom”from her son. She'll never feel his tender embrace or enjoy his sweet peck on her cheeks.Another man's face is twisted because of the grief.His son,the tiny boy he no doubt wrestled playfully,the teen he probably taught to drive,and the son he stood so proudly by,now lives only in his memory.
Those behind the glass stay silent, reflecting on this loss, as the family and soldiers leave.Some of us women, with sorrowful expressions, move slowly away, sharing a mother's profound grief .Soon,each of us will fly off in planes and return to an ordinary life made extraordinary by this soldier's courage,by this family's sacrifice and by this love shared by all that look out of the window.

【解析】这是一篇记叙文,作者讲述了和丈夫准备坐飞机去见儿子,在候机时,目睹了一个悲痛欲绝的家庭在机场迎接阵亡儿子的灵柩的经过。
(1)考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“my husband wanders away to stretch his legs”可知丈夫是想活动一下,让自己舒服一点,故选B。
(2)考查归纳总结。根据第二段中的“We're joined in witness, sending respect to an honorable soldier whose name we'll never know”我们一起加入了人群,向不知名的尊敬的士兵表示敬意。以及最后一段中的“as the family and soldiers leave.Some of us women, with sorrowful expressions,move slowly away,sharing a mother's profound grief” 我们中的一些女性,带着悲伤的表情,慢慢走开,分享母亲的悲痛。结合这两句可归纳出作者看到个场景时是悲伤和表示尊敬的,故选A。
(3)考查推理判断。根据最后一段中的"Soon,each of us will fly off in planes and return to an ordinary life made extraordinary by this soldier's courage,by this family's sacrifice and by this love shared by all that look out of the window."很快,我们每个人会坐飞机离开并返回一个普通的生活,而这种普通的生活由于这个士兵的勇气,这个家庭的牺牲和所有那些有爱的、透过窗外观看的人们而变得不平凡起来。以及本文中作者表现出对英雄士兵的尊敬。综上所述可推断出作者高度评价了(军人及其家属。作者是去见儿子的,所以A是错的;B项说那个可敬的士兵小时候喜欢摔跤,文中没有涉及;D项说机场的人们由于事件而悲痛不已是事实但不是推断出的。故选C项。
(4)考查主旨大意。纵观全文可,作者及其丈夫在去与儿子见面的机场上见证了一个家庭在机场接去世的儿子——个阵亡的士兵的灵柩的归来。即一个阵亡的士兵和他的家人团聚。 A项我在机场看到伤心的父母。B项士兵的勇气在机场使我们感动。C项向一个可敬的士兵表示敬意。ABC都只是其中的一个细节。只有D是主旨大意。

We've all heard about the power of our attitude, and it's our attitude that determines how much we succeed in life.
All the things that you have been through, all the people you have met and interacted with can have an impact on your attitude. If you think that all these factors have molded you into a person with a poor attitude towards life, there is no need to worry.
1).Identify and understand what you want to change.
The first step towards change is clearly understanding what needs to be changed.When it comes to changing your attitude, you need to do an honest and in-depth self-evaluation so you could point out exactly which of your traits need to be improved or totally changed.
2).
Find someone who has the kind of attitude that you want to have, and let his or her life give you inspiration and encouragement to move beyond your temporary failures in your journey towards becoming a better person.
3). Choose the right company.
As they say, “Bad company corrupts good character.” You don't expect yourself to be able to change if you go on surrounding yourself with people who possess all the negative traits that you want to change. Consider befriending new people, especially those who are optimistic and have a healthy attitude towards life.
4). Believe that you are able to change.
If you don't believe in yourself or believe that you or your life can change, it just won't happen—you will either never start, or give up quickly that you won't have even given yourself the opportunity to succeed.
A. Your effort to change will be easier with these people as friends.
B. Setting clear goals is the key to success in any endeavor.
C. The greatest obstacle is our inability to trust in what we can do.
D. Look for a role model.
E. Think about how your attitude change will affect your life.
F. There is always an opportunity for change.
G. Fix your mind on the things that would come as a result of your attitude change.

Profi Cheese Slicer
Uses a thin wire to slice up to medium-hard cheeses in four inch sections.
I may own every cheese slicer ever made.I prefer a wire type cheese cutter so I can cut slices that work well on a piece of bread and sandwich.
This cheese slicer is great for both tasks.It even has adjustable tension on the two cutting wires.A point of information: I did break a wire cutting a very hard piece of cheese with black pepper.Good news,the wire is replaceable,and I was able to purchase new wires to fix it.Maybe best to use on softer cheeses.Lessons learned.But, highly recommended for every other use except for those extremely hard cheeses.

【题目】阅读理解
Imagine one day, the water taps in your house stop running. You have to buy water from shops. And still there isn't enough for everyone. Your mother has to save the family's shower water to do other things. Would you be able to stand that kind of life?
Probably not. But that's what kids in Yemen are experiencing. Experts said Yemen is going to be the first country in the world to run out of water. According to a report, the capital, Sanaa, will run out of drinking water as early as 2025.
Because of the shortage, the government often cuts the water supply. Hannan, 18-year-old from Lahej, told the Times: “In a good week, we'll have a water supply all week. But then the following week there will be water only for a day or two.”
Hannan said only rich people have enough water to use. They can buy water from the shops or from the water truck. Private companies own the trucks. They travel around the city every day to sell water-at very high prices.
“A lot of people can't afford it,” she said. The average person in Yemen uses 100 to 200 cubic meters of water per year. That is far below the international water poverty line of 1,000 cubic meters.
The government is thinking of making use of seawater. But it will cost a lot and it may not happen soon enough to help the people of Yemen.
(1)The purpose of the text is to _______.
A.tell us what life is like in Yemen
B.draw our attention to water shortage
C.remind us how important water is
D.show us ways of solving problems
(2)The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 2 refers to .
A.buying water from shops
B.drinking dirty water
C.suffering from water shortage
D.washing clothes with used water
(3)Hannan described .
A.what her life is like
B.how beautiful Lahej is
C.how people use water fully
D.how heavy the traffic in Lahej is
(4)We can infer from the text that .
A.Sanaa will run out of water in 10 years
B.Hannan is a teenager from a rich family
C.the capital of Yemen is developing fast
D.private companies make a lot of money
