After death, John went to see God. God looked at him, feeling very unhappy, “You’ve lived in this world for 60 years. Why haven’t you gotten any result at all?” God asked. John argued, “My God, I couldn’t become a successful person just because you didn’t give me any chance. If you let that magic apple hit on my head, the man who found the law of gravity should be me.” God said, “OK, we might as well try again.” God rocked his hands and the time turned back to a few hundred years ago. God shook the apple tree for the first time, when a red apple fell and happened to drop on John’s head. John picked up the apple, wiped it and ate it up as soon as possible. God allowed another bigger apple drop on John’s head and John ate it up once again. God shook the apple tree for the third time, when a much bigger apple fell on John’s head. John got mad, picked up the apple, threw it out heavily. Then he shouted angrily: “The apple annoyed my sweet dream! What a bad luck!” The apple flew out and happened to fall on Newton’s head. Newton awoke and picked up the apple. After a long time of thinking, he discovered the law of gravity at last. The time returned once again now. God said to John, “John, do you understand it now?” John asked, “My God, please give me another chance…I will …” God shook his head and said, “No. The chance that the apple drops on the head of everyone is the same, but each person’s ability to catch the chance is different.” 小题1:When did John die?A.At the age of 50. | B.At the age of 60. | C.At the age of 70. | D.At the age of 80. | 小题2:How many times was John hit by apples?A.Once. | B.Twice. | C.Three times. | D.Four times. | 小题3: What did John do after he was hit by the apple for the second time?A.He ate the apple at once. | B.He got angry and shouted. | C.He threw the apple out. | D.He thought something over. | 小题4: Which is the best title of the passage?A.God’s Words | B.Annoying Apples | C.John’s Life | D.Lost Chances |

One summer vacation in my college, my roommate Ted asked to me to work on his father’s farm in Argentina. The idea was exciting. Then I had second thoughts. I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me. Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); don’t do what makes you depressed. In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me. Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern. When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright(害怕). If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies? In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists(心理学家) call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isn’t anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: you’ll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it. The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you. 小题1:We can infer from the passage that the author________. A.finds it difficult to make decision | B.has found out what causes anxiety | C.was encouraged by Duke Ellington’s stage fright | D.no longer feels anxious about new experiences | 小题2:What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?A.a person’s loss of confidence little by little | B.the natural development of a child’s abilities | C.the inborn ability to avoid anxious situations | D.the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety | 小题3:Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?A.Anxiety can be a positive drive | B.Hesitation leads to depression. | C.Avoiding anxiety reduces depression. | D.Depression is a signal that one is growing up. | 小题4:What"s the best title for the passage?A.Confidence: Key to Success | B.Anxiety: Challenge by Another Name | C.Depression: A Psychological Appearance | D.Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression |

Born in 1949, Diana Nyad took an early interest in swimming as a sport and was a Florida State High School swimming champion(冠军). Like many young trainers, she had Olympic dreams, but a serious illness prevented her from competing in the Games. The disappointment didn’t stop her from going forward. Instead, she became interested in marathon swimming. For ten years Nyad devoted herself to becoming one of the world’s best long-distance swimmers. In 1970, she swam a ten-mile marathon in Lake Ontario, setting the women’s record for the course. In 1972 she set another record by swimming 102.5 miles from an island in the Bahamas to the coast of Florida. Then she broke a third record when swimming around Manhattan Island in 1975. Nyad attempted to swim the distance between Florida and Cuba in 1978. Though the span(跨度) of water is less than 100 miles wide, it is rough and dangerous. After battling(与---作战) the water for two days, she had to give up for the sake of her own health and safety. Even so, she impressed the world with her courage and strong desire to succeed. It did not matter that her swim came up short; she believed she had touched the other shore. When Nyad ended her career as a swimmer, she continued to try new things---travelling the world as a reporter, writing books and giving public speeches about her life. Diana Nyad works to inspire others, just as she did when she swam the waters of the world. 小题1:What was Nyad’s early interest? 小题2:When did Nyad set the record for a ten-mile marathon swimming? 小题3:According to the passage, how many times did Nyad join the long-distance swimming? 小题4:What did Nyad do after she finished swimming? 小题5:What can we learn from the passage? |
