举一反三
I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left.
The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn’t have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”

There was great excitement on the planet of Venus (金星) . Venusian scientists managed to land a satellite on the planet Earth, and it has been sending back signals as well as photographs ever since.
The satellite was directed into an area known as Manhattan, named after the great Venusian astronomer Professor. Manhattan, who first discovered it with his telescope 20000 light years ago.
Because of excellent weather conditions and extremely strong signals, Venusian scientists were able to get valuable information as to feasibility (可行性) of a manned flying saucer landing on Earth. A press conference was held at the Venus Institute of Technology.
"We have come to the conclusion, based on last week"s satellite landing," Prof. Zog said, "that there is no life on Earth."
"How do you know this?" the science reporter of the Venus Evening Star asked.
"For one thing, Earth"s surface in the area of Manhattan is made up of solid concrete and nothing can grow there. For another, the atmosphere is filled with carbon monoxide (一氧化碳) and other deadly gases and nobody could possibly breathe this air and survive."
"What does this mean as far as our flying saucer program is concerned?"
"We shall have to take our own oxygen with us, which means a much heavier flying saucer than originally planned."
"Are there any other dangers that you discovered in your studies?"
"Take a look at this photo. You see this dark black cloud hovering (盘旋) over the surface of Earth? We don"t know what it is made of, but it could give us a lot of trouble and we shall have further tests before we send a Venus Being there."
"Over here you will notice what seems to be a river, but the satellite findings indicates it is polluted and the water is unfit to drink. This means we shall have to carry our own water, which will add even greater weight to the saucer."
"If all you say is true, won"t this set back the flying saucer program several years?"
"Yes, but we shall continue as soon as the Grubstart gives us the added funds(资金)." Profession. Zog replied.
小题1:According to the passage, the Venusian scientists succeeded in getting important information about _____. | A．the feasibility of landing a satellite on Earth | | B．the possibility of making a first-rate flying saucer | | C．the feasibility of sending a Venus Being to Earth | | D．the possibility of directing a flying saucer into Manhattan |
小题2:Why will the Venusian have to take their own oxygen with them when they carry out their flying saucer program because _____. | A．they need it in their way to the planet of Earth | | B．the Earth"s atmosphere is filled with deadly gases | | C．there is a low level of oxygen for Venusians | | D．there is no air on the planet of Earth |
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that ______. | A．landing a manned flying saucer on Earth will be carried out soon | | B．Venusians will land on Earth to help to stop serious pollution | | C．it’s unnecessary to land a manned flying saucer on Earth at present | | D．pollution on Earth makes it impossible for Venusians to survive there |
小题4:Where can you probably read such a passage?. | A．In a popular magazine. | B．In a fairy tale. | | C．In an observation journal | D．In science fiction |

Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular, and unloved.
My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: The teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn"t do it- I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building.
Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor"s office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop.
By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home.
Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference? He was now a success.
That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet, and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being.
Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I"ve made new friends and reconnected with many from my past
The anxiety isn"t completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance.
小题1:The writer"s anxiety attacks were mainly caused by .| A．the high school which he attended | B．the teacher who asked him to walk | | C．the writer himself who was fearful | D．the father who left in his childhood |
小题2:The breakthrough of the writer"s treatment came when________.| A．the mother took him to the doctor | B．the writer read a magazine article | | C．the writer"s pain finally stopped | D．the writer went to college |
小题3:What did the writer do after following the plan?| A．He went to see therapists. | B．He returned to high school. | | C．He contacted his old friends. | D．He didn"t suffer any attacks. |
小题4:The writer wrote this story to tell us________.| A．anxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment | | B．we shouldn"t keep ourselves away from the outside world | | C．we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance | | D．fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids |
