题型：不详难度：来源：
Actually we have known a lot of examples and meaningful words to support the fact that we should try our best to ease the bad impression of others. Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.
Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.
I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:
To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, “history” teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of homework to do, so...”
Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.
Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?| A．Students’ passion for activities was high at first but disappeared gradually. | | B．Students’ passion for activities grew gradually because they were interesting. | | C．Students were too busy to take part in activities after their classes. | | D．Students were unwilling to participate in activities because of their leaders. |
小题2:We can infer from the passage that the writer must be ______.| A．a supporter of activities | B．a responsible teacher | | C．a top student in class | D．a devoted class leader |
小题3:The writer hopes that all the members of the class will ______.| A．develop better talents and skills | B．improve their abilities and creativity | | C．work together to make a better class | D．adopt others’ advice patiently |

Dear Editor,
I have just returned home after studying for a year in Germany. But it seems that my parents don’t understand me now. They expect me to be the same person I was before I went abroad, but I’m not! Why can’t they let me be myself?
Jimmy
Hi, Jimmy,
As far as I know, people who have lived abroad often find that the adjustment （调整） to returning home is more difficult than their adjustment to living in a foreign culture. Why? We expect to have some problems when we go to a new place, speak a different language and learn the rules of a different culture ... But home? ... we know that place!
Your parents expect that the same person who boarded the airplane one year ago will be returning. Especially if they have never been abroad themselves, your parents probably won’t understand the changes that living abroad can cause in a person. On the other hand, you may have maintained (保持) an ideal mental image of your loved ones while abroad, an image that is broken into pieces when you return.
Remember you have been living a different lifestyle in your host country, and you have probably become very independent while staying there alone. Now that you’re home, you will be expected to conform （顺应） again to the lifestyle of your family. As a result, you may be upset about your parents’ involvement in your life.
Communication is the key to overcoming this problem. Tell your parents how you are feeling. Share with them information about cultural re-entry（重归）, and ask them to be patient. This does not mean that you have to forget your experience and give up everything you’ve learned! Learn to find a balance between the old and new, just as you did when first adjusting to your host country’s culture.
小题1:What is Jimmy’s main purpose in writing the letter?| A．To criticize his parents. | | B．To ask for advice about his studies. | | C．To complain about his parents. | | D．To ask for help. |
小题2:What does the editor think of Jimmy’s problem?| A．It’s unusual. | B．It’s normal. | C．It’s serious. | D．It’s interesting. |
小题3:The editor thinks that both Jimmy and his parents ______.| A．have changed in the past year | | B．have unrealistic expectations of each other | | C．need to behave like they did before | | D．need to find a balance between the good and bad |
小题4:The author suggests that ______ would help solve Jimmy’s problem.| A．patience and trust | | B．patience and politeness | | C．better communication between family members | | D．a deeper understanding of the host country’s culture |

Four simple keys to transform your life
The power of choice.
Every one of us makes countless choices every day. Every choice we make has an impact on our lives. Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel. When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food. The more important the decision, the greater its effect. For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.
How do you make choices?
If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you. This foundation is to choose based on what’s best for all. Imagine a world where every parent, spouse(配偶), friend, teacher, businessperson, and politician truly did their best to choose what’s best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.
It’s the intention.
“But how do I know what is really best?” you might ask. The answer is simple. It doesn’t matter. What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice. What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what’s best for all. If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there’s no need for guilt. Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what’s best for all, your conscience stays clear and open. This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.
What’s best for me, too!
Choosing what’s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for other. An overly(过度的) exhausted mother can lose her temper easily. Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children. So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what’s best for all.
小题1:According to the passage, which of the following statements is NOT true?| A．Every one of us makes countless choices every day. | | B．Every choice, however big or small, has an influence on us. | | C．People act differently towards the person who treated them badly. | | D．People tend to reach for a junk snack when hunger strikes. |
小题2:How should we make choices?| A．To be interested in a richer, fuller life. | | B．To make life better for ourselves. | | C．To base our choices on what’s best for all. | | D．To imagine a world where everyone did their best. |
小题3: According to the author, what is really best?| A．The choice you make. | B．The intention behind your choice. | | C．The mistake you learn from. | D．The consequence of your choice. |
小题4:To choose what is best for us, we’d better ________.| A．try to be selfish all the time | B．sacrifice ourselves for others | | C．set aside some time for ourselves | D．control our temper before children |

“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before, ” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达). ” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don, t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的） rude messages by email.
However, rudeness is never acceptable, Don, t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you, re in touch with won, t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn′t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.
小题1:What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph I?| A．People can tell good from bad behavior. | | B．Radar is able to observe human behavior. | | C．People care little about their behavior. | | D．Radar can be used to predict human behavior. |
小题2:Some people are less willing to deal with humans because| A．they are becoming less patient | | B．they are growing too independent | | C．they have to handle many important messages | | D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward. |
小题3:The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is | A．Ridiculous | B．disgusting | C．acceptable | D．reasonable |
小题4:What can we learn from the last paragraph?| A．We should applaud good behabior. | | B．Technology can neber be blamed | | C．We should keep pointing out mistakes. | | D．Technology will take over lives one day. |

When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (确保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
小题1:According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?| A． By solving the cost problems | | B． By solving the transportation problems | | C． By setting up a body of devoted people in every country. | | D． By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO. |
小题2:What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence? | A．Providing food is vital | B．Learning to fish is helpful | | C．Teaching skills is essential | D．Looking after others is important. |
小题3:The second paragraph is developed mainly _________.| A．by example | B．by process | C．by comparison | D．by contrast |
小题4:Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?| A．A medical team. | B．An exchange program. | | C．A water plant. | D．Financial support. |
小题5:What can we infer about international aid from the passage?| A．It is facing difficulties | | B．It is unnecessary during normal times | | C．It should be given in the form of materials | | D．It has gained support developed countries |
