举一反三
On the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else"s in our class.
What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn"t wait to get the answer.
Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat"s), hadn"t he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
小题1:We failed in the test because we didn"t ______. | A．take notes while listening | | B．show interest in what Mr. Whiteson said | | C．listen to the teacher carefully | | D．think carefully |
小题2:We got angry because ______.| A．Mr. Whiteson didn"t tell us the truth about cattytiger | | B．we failed in the test | | C．we didn"t know why he played the joke on us | | D．there was no cattytiger |
小题3:We didn"t find out it was a lie for ______.| A．we simply believed our teacher very much | | B．we took notes carelessly | | C．we hadn"t watched the skull carefully enough | | D．Mr. Whiteson spoke too fast |
小题4:Mr. Whiteson meant that ______.| A．teachers couldn"t make any mistakes | | B．textbooks might be wrong sometimes | | C．we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong | | D．we shouldn"t believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies |

People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but 31 is the window for me?
I’m not disappointed, just a little worried 32 as my roommate said, “Why are you angry with yourself once you 33 to do anything?” I had no idea. I just can’t 34 myself if I can understand some easy things. Now, I just feel 35 with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment(任务) on the lab, and what was 36 worse was that actually I didn’t understand what the 37 was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t 38 for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel 39 .
Before I came here, I was confident. But I have totally 40 it. Sometimes I can’t even find the right words: sometimes I am too shy to 41 others. I have to admit that I am 42 .
The wisest people are always 43 who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and 44 a lot of time soaking inside the workbook, 45 made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am 46 to get help the next time I have any questions. I can 47 I am not smart, But I shouldn’t hide it. I must 48 it as soon as possible. 49 I will have to waste much more time on it ---just like tonight.
Difficulties always go with me. Go 50 ! I can make it.

I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A young man was seeking his community votes, and people 36 wanted to know why they should give him their 37 . He took them to his house and on every 38 in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of 39 to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors.

The 42 I learned from this is simple—faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all 43 given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith.

Some people might 46 that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t 47 it as a faith. Daily 48 , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.

A girl became a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, which meant visiting and taking care of a patient suffering from an incurable disease with days numbered.
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies？”
But the doctor knew that her family was welloff and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.
小题1:If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you have to attend to?| A．Patients with a lot of money. | | B．Patients suffering from cancer. | | C．Patients without many days left. | | D．Patients living alone. |
小题2:What can we learn from the passage?| A．The doctor told the old man the truth. | | B．The old man’s children were wealthy. | | C．The girl’s father encouraged her to accept the money. | | D．The girl didn’t accompany the old man when he died. |
小题3:What is the real reason resulting in the old man’s mental improvement?| A．The girl’s love and great care. | | B．The pleasure of helping people in need. | | C．The doctor’s medical treatment. | | D．His children’s progress in life. |
