For many years I had a good life. My illness was reasonably (适度的) under control, I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn"t hate. It was, as I said, a good life. But there"s a saying that the good is the enemy of the best. I finally realized this one day, and began making my best life. I changed doctors and tried a new way that could relieve(减轻) my symptoms (症状) , rather than just making them easier to deal with. I started talking more with my husband and listening to what he had to say. And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself. I have the best life I"ve ever had. I"d call it great. It is possible there"s a better life for me, which would then be my "best life" , but for now I don"t think so. I"ve started a business I love. My husband and kids are wonderful. I have a good friend and I"m close to my older sister who lives in town. Could it get better? I suppose so. But for me I think this is the best life I can have right now. Think more about your life. Where are you living? Are you in a job you just don"t mind? What makes your life "good" ? Why isn"t it great? What"s the enemy of the best and what can you do about it? Enjoy your best life. We"re only here for a short while, and we all need to have the best possible time we can. It"s like going to Disney World. If you spend too much time standing in line waiting for the ride, pretty soon your time"s up. Get out of the "good" line and have your best life. 小题1:Which of the following is NOT included in the writer"s "good life" ?A.Having a job. | B.Having no hate. | C.Getting on well with her husband. | D.Living close to her good friend. | 小题2:The writer quit her job because she________.A.was ill | B.didn"t like working | C.wanted to go for her best life | D.wanted to enjoy her good life | 小题3:What did the writer do to make her best life? ①She visited other doctors. ②She started a business she loved. ③She played more with her kids. ④She talked more with her husband. ⑤She spent much time in Disney World.小题4: What"s the enemy of the best?A.Illness. | B.A good job. | C.Being proud. | D.Being satisfied. | 小题5:What is the best title for the article?A.Attitude to Life | B.Making Your Best Life | C.What Makes Your Life "Good" | D.A New Way to Treat the Illness |

解析
【文章大意】你感觉现在生活过得安逸舒适吗?人生本来很短暂,活在世上就要尽可能享受最好的时间,作者针对这一问题,提出自己的观点。这可能对你有所启发。 小题1:根据第一段中的“I had a nice relationship with my husband, I did work, I didn"t hate. It was, as I said, a good life.”得到答案。 小题1:由第二段第二行“began making my best life”及下文所列举的事例都是过最好的生活。C答案包含在内。 小题1:由第二段“I changed doctors ”,“I started talking more with my husband ”,“And I quit(辞掉) my job and started working for myself.”和第三段中的“I"ve started a business I love.”可知道答案A。⑤是最后一段里就像去迪斯尼,而不是说她去了。 小题1:从第一段作者享受当时的生活成为愉快的生活和第二段自己意识到最大的敌人是满足于这种好的生活,所以作者就做出一系列举动,答案D“满足”。 小题1:通读全文,了解大意,文章最后一段“Enjoy your best life.”得到答案。 |

The question was once asked of a highly successful businessman,“How have you done so much in your lifetime?” He replied,“I have 41 .I have turned my mind free to imagine 42 I wanted to do.Then I have gone to bed and thought about my dreams.In the night I dreamt about my dreams. And when I awoke in the morning,I saw the way 43 my dreams real.White 44 people were saying,‘You can’t do that,it is 45 ,’I was well on my way to achieving what I wanted,”As Woodrow Wilson,28th President of the U.S.,said:“We grow great by dreams.All big men are 46 .” They see things in the soft fog of a spring day,or in the red fire 47 a long winter’s evening.Some of us 48 these dreams die,but others feed,protect and look after them;keep them through bad days until they bring them to the sunshine and light,it comes 49 to the people who sincerely hope that their dreams will come true. So please,don’t let anyone steal you dreams, 50 try to tell you they are too impossible. “Sing your songs,dream your dreams,and hope your hope.” 小题1:A.dreamed B.changed C.learned 小题2:A.how B.what C.which 小题3:A.to make B.to realize C.to achieve 小题4:A.another B.the other C.other 小题5:A.possible B.impossible C.important 小题6:A.dreams B.dreamer C.dreamers 小题7:A.on B.in C.at 小题8:A.had B.let C.kept 小题9:A.never B.sometimes C.always 小题10:A.or B.and C.but |
Once a circle missed a wedge(楔子). The circle wanted to be whole, so it went around looking for its missing piece. But because it was incomplete and therefore could roll only very slowly. It admired the flowers along the way. It chatted with grasses. It enjoyed the sunshine. It found lots of different pieces, but none of them fit. So it left them all by the side of the road and kept on searching. Then one day the circle found a piece that fit perfectly. It was so happy. It put the found piece into itself and began to roll. Now it was a perfect circle, it could roll very fast, too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. When it rolled so quickly, it realized how different the world seemed. Then it stopped, left the found piece by the side of the road and rolled slowly away. The lesson of the story , I suggested, was that in some strange sense we are more whole when we are missing something. The man who has everything isn’t in some ways a whole man. He will never know what it feels like to yearn(渴望), to hope, to come true the dream of something better. 根据短文内容,判断句子正(T)误(F)。 (共5小题,每小题2分,满分10分) 小题1: At first, the circle couldn’t roll fast, because it wanted to chat with the grasses. 小题2: The circle didn’t find the missing piece at last. 小题3: When it was a perfect circle, it rolled too fast to notice the flowers or to talk to the grasses. 小题4: The circle stopped by the side of the road and enjoyed the sunshine. 小题5: In some days, a man still will be perfect even if he misses something. |
One day an old man went into a cafeteria (自助餐厅) to eat in America for the first time. He sat down at an empty table and waited for 43 to take his order. Of course nobody did. Finally, a woman with a plate full of food sat down opposite him and told him how a cafeteria 44 . “Start out at that end,” she said. “Just go along the line and 45 what you want. At the other end they’ll tell you how much you have to pay.” “I soon learned that’s how everything works in the US,” the old man later told a friend. “ 46 is a cafeteria here. You can get anything you want 47 you are willing(自愿的) to pay the price. You can even get success, but you’ll never get it if you wait for someone to 48 it to you. You have to get up and get it yourself.” 49 , life everywhere is like a cafeteria. Don’t wait for things to happen to you. Success lies in your own 50 .
