举一反三

To be a real gentleman, you should know that true forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess!
In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was     by an armed guerrilla fighter from the enemy country．The fighter  the young man down the hill where he was to be    .
But a（n）  thing happened． The young man, who had    military training, was able to disarm the fighter．Now, the table was    and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill．
As they walked,      , the young man began to reflect on what was happening．Recalling the      of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who       you." He found he could go no farther．
He 10 the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was    to go and turned back       the hill．
Minutes later, he heard footsteps53 behind him as he walked．"Is this the end after all?" he      . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off．But he continued on,       glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out        for sparing his life．
Mercy often wears the face of        ．And though it usually isn"t an enemy in uniform-that we are challenged to forgive, we have   for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have       for our forgiveness. You know who they are.
As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The      can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong. " Be strong. Forgive.

But the      didn’t end here．The best part of it was that Babu actually distributed the chocolates to        in the company equally instead of just distributing them among members in his        ．So it was so touching for me to see this.

阅读理解。     No air means death. Although we can"t see it, there is air around us. So air is everything and it gives life
to every living thing. Bad air makes people ill. We must have fresh air to keep us in good health.
     In the city there are a great many people and there are too many cars running on the roads. The gas which
the cars spread out is full of poison. Every day we breathe it in again and again. This makes us feel sick.
     Besides so many cars, there are many factories too. From the chimneys of these factories, we get the
smoke usually in black and grey colour. This kind of smoke, when it mixes the air, is dangerous to our health.
It is because smoke contains many poisonous solids and gases. So in order to keep us healthy we have to go
out to the countryside to breathe more fresh air. Or we can go up hills to get more fresh air. 1. Which of the following best explains that no air means death? [     ]
A. Air gives life to every living thing
B. Air can"t be seen anywhere around us
C. Bad air makes people sick
D. Fresh air keeps people healthy 2. According to the passage, we know that            . [     ]
A. going up hills is very good to our health
B. smoke from chimneys is more serious than gas from cars
C. We shouldn"t go out of doors as much as possible
D. A great many people have to breathe air again and again 3. The best title for the passage is            . [     ]
A. Fresh Air
B. The Use Of Air
C. Breathing Air
D. Bad Air

阅读理解。     Most of us lead unhealthy lives; we spend far too much sitting down. If in addition we are careless about
our diets, our bodies soon become loose and fatty and our systems slow moving.
     There are some aspects (方面) of our unhealthy lives that we cannot avoid. I am thinking of such features
of modern city life as pollution, noise, rushed meals and stress. But keeping fit is a way to reduce the effects
of these evils. The usual suggestion to a person who is looking for a way to keep fit is to take up some sport
or other. While it is true that every weekend you will find people playing football and hockey in the local park,
they are outnumbered a hundred to one by the people who are simply watching them. 　　
      For those who do not particularly enjoy competitive sports - and it is especially difficult to do so if you
are not good at them - there are such separate activities as cycling, walking, jogging and swimming. What
often happens though is that you do them in such a leisurely way, so slowly, that it is doubtful if you are
doing yourself much good, except for the fact that you have at least managed to get up out of your armchair. 　　
      Even after you have found a way for keeping in shape, through sport or gymnastics, you are still only
half way to good health, because, according to the experts, you must also master the art of complete mental
and physical relaxation (放松). It has to do with deep breathing, emptying your mind of all thoughts,
meditation, and so on. Yoga, as practiced in the West, is the most widely known and popular of the systems
for achieving the necessary state of relaxation. It seems ironical (讽刺性的), though, that as our lives have
improved in a material sense we have found it increasingly necessary to go back to forms of activity-physical
effort on the one hand and relaxation on the other - which were the natural way of life of our forefathers. 1. Pollution, noise and stress are examples of _____. [     ]
A. the causes of unfitness
B. bad features of modern living
C. the things we can completely do away with
D. unavoidable things in town 2. We don"t get much out of separate sports because we _____.[     ]
A. don"t do them very often
B. don"t do them actively enough
C. find it hard to get out of our armchairs
D. don"t find them interesting 3. To be healthy we must _____. [     ]
A. keep fit and active
B. keep fit and learn to relax
C. be active and practise Yoga
D. have a sound mind 4. Our forefathers were healthy because _____. [     ]
A. their way of life closely connected with both exercise and relaxation
B. they were careful to get plenty of fresh air
C. they spent most of the time out of doors
D. their environment was not polluted

阅读理解。      Rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere are a major cause of climate change, and now a new
study has confirmed that atmospheric CO2 is also affecting the ocean chemistry and potentially harming
sea life.
      Montana State University scientist Robert Dore has been researching the water in the Pacific Ocean for
almost two decades.
      "We"ve been going to the same spot in the Pacific Ocean, and we try and characterize long-term change
in the open ocean environment. And one of the key things that we measure is CO2 levels. And we"ve been
able to record this increasing quantity of atmospheric CO2 into the ocean."
      Scientists expected that as atmospheric CO2 increased, more and more of the carbon dioxide would be
absorbed into the ocean, affecting the chemical balance of the sea water, with a potentially harmful impact
on shellfish and coral in particular.
      "As carbon dioxide dissolves (溶解) in the water, or seawater in this case, it forms a weak acid, carbonic
acid," Dore explains."And therefore, as the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere goes up and that
exchanges with the surface seawater, it drives the pH down, and makes it more acidic."
      The seawater Dore and his colleagues have analyzed confirms what the theory predicts.
      The effect was particular striking at about 250 meters down, and again at 500 meters. Dore and his
colleagues came up with two possible explanations. It could be that surface water picked up CO2 and then
moved to those depths. Or there could be a biological explanation.
    "It"s important to realize that the oceans are really becoming acidic. And it can have negative impacts on
a whole variety of sea life from fish to coral. It"s potentially catastrophic." 1. What can be the best title of the passage? [     ]
A. Sea Life Facing Danger
B. Scientist Researching Seawater
C. Oceans Becoming More Acidic
D. Climate Change Affecting Seawater2. Which of the following shows the process of the impact of atmospheric CO2 on sea life?
    a. Sea life is endangered.
    b. CO2 goes into the surface water.
   c. The ocean chemistry is affected.
    d. CO2decreases the PH and makes the seawater more acidic.
    e. CO2 levels in the atmosphere go up. [     ]
A. a-b-c-d-e
B. e-b-c-d-a
C. a-e-b-c-d
D. e-d-c-b-a3. Scientist Robert Dore came to the conclusion based on ______.[     ]
A. his research and analysis
B. the expectation of other scientists
C. some former theory
D. a major cause of climate change 4. What does the passage want to tell us most?[     ]
A. It takes time to make a scientific study.
B. Atmospheric CO2 is doing harm to sea life.
C. Robert Dore is a committed and serious scientist.
D. Measures should be taken to prevent the potential catastrophe.
