    I first met Paul Newman in 1968, when George Roy Hill, the director of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, introduced us in New York City. When the studio didn’t want me for the film — it wanted somebody as well known as Paul — he stood up for me. I don’t know how many people would have done that; they would have listened to their agents or the studio powers.

    The friendship that grew out of the experience of making that film and The Sting four years later had its root in the fact that although there was an age difference, we both came from a tradition of theater and live TV. We were respectful of craft（技艺）and focused on digging into the characters we were going to play. Both of us had the qualities and virtues that are typical of American actors: humorous, aggressive, and making fun of each other— but always with an underlying affection. Those were also at the core（核心）of our relationship off the screen.

    We shared the brief that if you’re fortunate enough to have success, you should put something back— he with his Newman’s Own food and his Hole in the Wall camps for kids who are seriously ill, and me with Sundance and the institute and the festival. Paul and I didn’t see each other all that regularly, but sharing that brought us together. We supported each other financially and by showing up at events.

    I last saw him a few months ago. He’d been in and out of the hospital. He and I both knew what the deal was, and we didn’t talk about it. Ours was a relationship that didn’t need a lot of words.

    1.Why was the studio unwilling to give the role to author at first?

    A. Paul Newman wanted it.

    B. The studio powers didn’t like his agent.

    C. He wasn’t famous enough.

    D. The director recommended someone else.

    2.Why did Paul and the author have a lasting friendship?

    A. They were of the same age.

    B. They worked in the same theater.

    C. They were both good actors.

    D. They have similar characteristics.

    3.What does the underlined word “that” in paragraph 3 refer to?

    A. Their belief.

    B. Their care for children.

    C. Their success.

    D. Their support for each other.

    4.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?

    A. To show his love of films.

    B. To remember a friend.

    C. To introduce a new movie.

    D. To share his acting experience.

    Training for a marathon (马拉松) requires careful preparation and steady, gradual increases in the length of the runs. 1., buy the best-fitting running shoes you can find. No one can say which brand will work best for you or feel best on your feet, so you have to rely on your experience and on the feel of each pair as you shop. When you have found shoes that seem right, walk in them for a few days to double-check the fit. 2.. As always, you should stretch (伸展) at least ten minutes before each run to prevent injuries.

    During the first week, do not think about distance, but run five minutes longer each day. 3., it is wise to take a day off to rest. But during the next week, set a goal of at least a mile and a half per run. 4.. After two weeks, start timing yourself. 5.. Depending on the kind of race you plan to enter, you can set up a timetable for the remaining weeks before the race.

    A. After six days

    B. For a good marathon runner

    C. Before you begin your training

    D. With each day, increase the distance by a half mile

    E. If they still feel good, you can begin running in them

    F. Time spent for preparation raises the quality of training

    Do you really know who you are? This is not a trick question but rather an honest understanding into the inner workings of each one of us. We usually share with our friends a piece of who we are, the piece that we want them to like or connect with. However, there is a secret, a hidden piece that doesn’t want to be noticed by others.

    Our personal inner beliefs play a vital role in the way we think, act and live. They set us up to accept a belief and then it is the belief that separates our personal story. There are numerous people who have taken on the pain and suffering of their parents. Some have devoted their lives to living with lack; that is lack of love because they saw what they thought was love while in the crib (婴儿床) and it frightened them. Subconsciously (潜意识地) they made great efforts in their lives to avoid a similar experience.

    Each one of us carries around with us our inner beliefs. If one of your beliefs is one that causes you to hold back from getting the perfect job or blocking love to come to you, that belief is a negative belief and one that needs to be dealt with if you are seeking a life of joy, contentment and personal success, whether it is emotional, spiritual, financial or physical.

    Don’t let your blocked or frozen emotions guide the way you want to lead your life. Now it is your time to finally become victorious over those past situations that have upset you during your entire life and become the winner you were born to be.

    1.What is the author’s purpose with a question at the beginning?

    A. To explain who we are really.

    B. To introduce the main topic.

    C. To show the author’s opinion.

    D. To persuade people to share inner beliefs.

    2.We can infer that the author believes inner beliefs ________.

    A. shape us B. block love to come

    C. shouldn’t be hidden D. make us sad and painful

    3.What does the underlined word “it” in the third paragraph refer to?

    A. The love to come.

    B. The negative belief.

    C. The past painful experience.

    D. The life of joy, contentment and personal success.

    4.Which of the following is the suggestion of the author?

    A. Sharing our inner beliefs with others.

    B. Ignoring blocked or frozen emotions.

    C. Dealing with our negative inner beliefs wisely.

    D. Having a deep understanding of our inner beliefs.

    C

    （2017届吉林市第一中学高三模考）You get on an almost-empty bus, but the next passenger decides to ignore all the empty seats to sit right next to you. While you are waiting in line at the supermarket, the next customer stands just behind you shouting into his phone.

    These are attacks of the personal space invaders(侵略者). Though preferences for personal space differ from culture to culture, we Britons do love our independence and personal space.

    As the British customs website Debrett has said, as a British person, somebody standing too close may make you ＂focus less on what somebody is saying than on how close they are to you＂. Simple acts like putting an arm around someone you don’t know that well may seem friendly in China, but they can make us very uncomfortable. The ediplomat.com website explains: ＂The British are not back slappers (拍打者) or touchers and generally do not show affection (喜欢) in public.＂

    Being a British person around people from other countries can therefore be full of problems. People from many European countries such as France and Spain kiss each other on the cheek when they meet, yet to us this seems too friendly and ＂touchy-feely＂.

    Simple matters like how close others stand can be problems to Britons who want to keep their own personal space. Giving advice on how to behave around a British person, Debrett’s says that ＂if you can feel the warmth of their worried breath upon your face, then you’re standing too close＂.

    So, are British people unfriendly? No. The ediplomat.com website explains that we are not as ＂indifferent＂ as we may seem, but ＂very friendly and helpful to foreigners＂. However, we do have different ideas about our own space to many people from other countries. Just let us know if you’re going to come any closer than arm’s length, and you’ll be fine!

    1.What is the article mainly about?

    A.How to make friends with British people.

    B.Some tips on British table manners.

    C.Ways in which British people show affection.

    D.British people’s preference for personal space.

    2. If you were meeting a British person for the first time, it would be polite of you to ______, according to the article.

    A.kiss him/her on the cheek

    B.put an arm around him/her

    C.keep an arm’s length away from him/her

    D.slap his/her back or shake his/her hands

    3.The underlined word ＂indifferent＂ in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to ＂_________＂.

    A.cold B.modest

    C.gentlemanlike D.independent

    4.What can we conclude from the article?

    A.British people like to sit next to others on empty buses.

    B.British people are helpful, although they may not appear to be.

    C.British people do not like staying with other Europeans.

    D.British people are happy to show affection in public.
