    Jim Shelley是一个有瘾的人。他打电话有瘾，且不能自拔。真是大千世界，无奇不有。
    小题1: A 词义比较逻辑推理 说完这些话，作者就开始面对/承认(face)了问题。face面对，面临, 承认；find找到, 发现, 感到；accept接受, 认可，承认；notice注意到。
    小题1: B 逻辑推理词义比较 作者过去从醒来到睡觉总是不停(all the time)地给人家打电话。now and then偶尔，有时；at home在家；at work在工作中；all the time始终。
    小题1: C 逻辑推理词义比较 我等候着(wait)，而不是要(ask)，试着(try)，邀请(invite)人家打电话过来，又想打电话出去，又多打一个电话出去
    小题1: C 前后照应逻辑推理 开始是为了社交，每天几个电话，仅仅快速的聊聊天，似乎没什么事(fine)，而没有什么特别(special)，客气(polite)，重要(important)的地方。注意与后句的though和got worse联系起来理解。
    小题1: B 逻辑推理词义辨析 可后来，慢慢地，情况(situation)却越来越遭。condition 条件，环境；situation情形, 境遇；result结果, 成效；effect作用, 影响。
    小题1: A 词义辨析逻辑推理 不久，就总是不停，频繁(frequent)地打电话来了，最后竟然上瘾了. frequent时常发生的, 频繁的，通常强调动作的多次反复出现；B. regular有规则的，经常的，强调动作有规律的经常出现；unusual不平常的，不寻常的，强调非常的情况；particular特别的, 独特的，强调个性特征。
    小题1: D 逻辑推理前后照应 这不仅仅影响朋友(friends)，家人(family)，学习(study)，还影响了我的工作(work)。后文谈论的是作者的工作情况。
    小题1: A 逻辑推理常识运用 大白天，不是为了一个秘密的(secret)，预料到了的(expected)，额外的(extra)电话，而是为了一个急迫的(quick)电话作者会突然出去。
    小题1: D 逻辑推理词义比较 没有电话打时，就等候人家打电话来，等得作者不是充满希望(hopeful)，欣喜快乐(delighted)，而是越来越迫切、焦虑不安(anxious)，但不至于担惊受怕(frightened)。
    小题1: B 词义比较逻辑推理 作者就会跟这个人打，跟那个人打，心里总是告诫(tell)就再打一个，而不是强迫(force)，给予(give)和限制(limit)自己。这句话是对作者的当时的心情的描述。
    小题1: A 固定搭配逻辑推理 作者总是给人家打电话，并留下(leave)讯息，而不是接受(take)，传递(pass)，记录(record)讯息。take /pass/record /leave messages接受/传递记录/留下讯息。
    小题1: C 逻辑推理词义比较 作者不管这电话是长时间的(long)，还是紧接着来的(immediate)，还是令人吃惊的(surprising)电话，而是要确保明天我能有足够多(enough)的电话来度过这一天。
    小题1: D 词义辨析逻辑推理 作者就会直接走到电话机前说"我可以用这电话吗？"这些话(words)来表达要求(demands)或希望(wish)。saying谚语，警句，指人们经常重复耳熟能详的语句；demands要求，需要；wish希望，请求；words话语。
    小题1: B 逻辑推理词义比较 上班工作的时候，同伴阻止作者去打电话，作者就会感到无助(helpless)而情绪败坏狂怒发疯(mad)，而不会小心从事(careful)，意志坚定(determined)点而不去打电话。
    小题1: D 词义辨析固定搭配逻辑推理 同伴们会阻止(stop)作者去打电话。save sb. from救助/拯救某人脱离；protect sb. from保护某人免遭；stop sb. From阻止某人，使某人不做某事。reduce 通常不与表示"避免"意义的from搭配。
    小题1: A 词义比较逻辑推理常识运用 作者花掉了最后一英镑，没有了钱，他没法再使用(use)，也偷(steal)不着钱，倒不空(empty)电话亭，便气急败坏地毁坏(destroy)电话亭，结果给警察逮个正着。
    小题1: C 逻辑推理词义辨析 作者被命令/安排(order)去看心理医生。Offer(主动提供)，guide(指导，引导)，remind(提醒)的用词都太客气委婉，order通常指上级对下属等强硬的"指使，命令，安排"，意义较为强烈，其语气更符合文意。
    小题1: B 逻辑推理词义比较 三天里作者包括接(receive)和打，没有(have)一个电话，也就无从错过(miss)一个电话，更无法安装(fix)电话机了。
    小题1: D 语法规则语句连贯 自作者使用电话亭以来，已经好几天了=作者好几天没有使用过电话亭了。since表示"自……以来"的意思。
    小题1: A 逻辑推理常识运用 作者努力不去看电视，不是因为电视上有各类不同(different)或更多的(more)人，也不是有人正好在打电话，而是因为屏幕上总是、时常(always)出现人们打电话的镜头。

    A
    The choice to adopt and hold gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and those who enjoy a full life.
    My mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life — everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me — a young woman with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other people’s children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I don’t know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I’d like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.
    If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.
    Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: one…it tricks your subconscious into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner (哀诉者).
    小题1:The underlined word “utilities” refers to __________ in the passage.
    A．water and gas suppliesB．gas and electricity supplies
    C．shower equipment and water supplyD．heating and TV signals
    小题2: The writer was grateful mainly for ___________.
    A．his neighbor’s donationB．his community
    C．having got the jobD．others’ trust
    小题3: The writer’s personal story in the second paragraph tells us that __________.
    A．to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home
    B．a grateful person is most likely to be successful
    C．we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful
    D．the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose
    小题4:The best title for the passage would be ____________.
    A．A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor
    B．You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner
    C．Be Grateful to Life in Advance
    D．Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life

    I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I wasyounger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was goingto become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready toaccept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would notface that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two morechildren. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do Iknow about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!”I don’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gaveme a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew,and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure outwhat kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother,Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
    I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the examplefor the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot oftime with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from myGranny：
    Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had acookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with thecounter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older Ilearned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched,I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it downoff the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I didwhen I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jarand there were alwayscookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and thefirst thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
    So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s firstChristmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to seeme, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.
    小题1:The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.
    A．she was not old enough to be one
    B．she was not emotionally ready to be one
    C．she thought her daughter was too young to be a mother

    B．the writer always wanted to know what was inside her grandmother’s cookie jar
    C．the writer often drove her grandchildren to see her grandmother’s cookie jar

    Most people who experience bad service while traveling, shopping, or dining out do no complain. They accept bad services or products without making a sound. Why? Many feel complaining won’t do any good. In fact, they’re wrong, because companies don’t want their customers unhappy. Not sure you can do it? Here are some ways to use when things go wrong.
    1.If you have a complaint, do something about it right away. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get your complaint solved.
    2.First, complain to the servers. If they are not going to solve your problem, then ask politely to speak to a manager. And if that doesn’t work, you can always request to speak to the manager’s manager!
    3.Demand a discount(折扣). Let’s say you were promised a hotel room with an ocean view, but got a view of a brick wall instead; if you were promised a seat in the front of a plane, but got a seat in the back. You should do something about both of these situations. Ask a special discount.
    4.Don’t be passive. Offer ways you think the company can satisfy you.
    5.Insist on the price you were told. If you are refused, get a manager’s name and telephone number, and promise to follow up with a letter and a telephone call.
    6.If all else fails, wait until you get home and take action. Call the company’s head office, and speak to the most powerful person possible. Then follow up your call with a letter of complaint. If necessary, call the customer protection office in your city and complain.
    小题1:
    According to the text, people don’t complain because________.

    “Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”
    Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”
    My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.
    In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”
    “How many did you have on your list?” I asked.
    “Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ”
    My jaw dropped. “What did you do?”
    “Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ”
    “And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ”
    My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!
    God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.
    小题1: What does Annabel mean by the first sentence of the passage?
    A．The writer is a good athlete.B．The writer scolds herself too much.
    C．She is encouraging the writer. D．A gold medal is not a big deal.
    小题2: What does the writer intends to tell us through the second and third paragraphs?
    A．She has low self-esteem over some small things.
    B．She often makes serious mistakes in daily life.
    C．She is a third-grade teacher.
    D．She cares too much about her appearance.
    小题3: We can infer that the underlined word “slob” might be _____.
    A．something untidyB．someone dangerous
    C．something dirtyD．someone lazy
    小题4: What does the writer mean by the last sentence of the passage?
    A．She is ready to turn to God for help.
    B．She will be kind to all children.
    C．She won’t insult herself as well as others.
    D．She is willing to be a child of God.

    “Mom, can I bake some bread?” We were 15; my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our hands at creating some beautiful bread.
    “It’s not worth the trouble,” my mother said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.”
    Begging was useless. Mom’s “no” meant “No!”
    But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
    We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.”
    We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
    “Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面团) holds together, squeeze it.”
    We took turns working like that. “Is the dough ‘holding together’?” we asked each other.
    I remembered my neighbor’s instructions: “If it’s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.”
    We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
    “Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed.
    We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers. “Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for one hour.”
    This was good news—we’d have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See?” we would tell my mom. “Isn’t it worth the work?”
    Hanna and I couldn’t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
    “Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,” I said.
    Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
    Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it right.
