举一反三
In a cab, a woman seemed in such a hurry．She constantly rushed the cab driver to drive quickly．She was so absorbed in her own thoughts of getting to the airport as soon as possible that she was not aware they were going by a different route.
All of a sudden, a young man got inside the cab．He took her handbag in which she had put her visa, passport, and all the money for the trip.
The cab driver, who was in collusion with the robber, left her in the exactly middle of a dark street．She thought that she was rather unfortunate in the very situation.
During the very night, she was told a piece of shocking news．Tears came down her cheek．Flight 360, the plane that she should have got on board, had crashed．Had she not lost her important belongings, she could surely have lost the thing far more precious——her life.
Sometimes bad things really happen．There are times when nothing seems to go our way．So what should we do about it? We must get rid of all these frustrations and start all over again in the faith that we will get what we deserve．
Don’t waste your time and energy on things that can’t be changed．Continuous worrying will only affect your health and you’ll be doing much more damage than what was previously done.
What if it was the other way round? What if we never ran out of good luck?
There was a man who won the lottery．He became greedy and wasted all his money on everything he could get his hands on.
But when he one day made it to the front page of the newspaper again, it was a different story．He had been killed because of his riches．If you attain good luck, you can never be too secure about it．Life is so unpredictable．You never know what will happen next.
Live one day at a time．We sometimes subject ourselves to unnecessary emotional trouble．But please don’t forget: sometimes misfortune can be the source of happiness．Live for the moment．Do what must be done for the present and the future will turn out just fine．Believe me．And believe in yourself．As Captain Planet always says, “The power is yours！”
小题1:The underlined phrase “in collusion with” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________.”| A．was forced by | B．was fighting bravely against | | C．was doing one’s best to beg | D．had cooperated with |
小题2:From the passage, we learn that ________.| A．robbers are sure to get what they want | | B．somebody never runs out of good luck | | C．the woman was lucky to miss her flight | | D．if one feels oneself lucky, he or she will continue to be so |
小题3:The writer presents the second example in order to ________.| A．warn people of the danger of winning the lottery | | B．tell people life is unpredictable | | C．encourage people to buy lottery | | D．persuade people not to be greedy |
小题4:According to the author, which of the following choices is the correct attitude to adopt to life?| A．Never waste any time or energy because time is so limited. | | B．One needn’t be worried or feel frustrated．Believe in yourself. | | C．Even while everything appears to be going smoothly, we should keep fully alert. | | D．Worrying about what you don’t have |
小题5:The passage above is intended to tell us ________.| A．misfortune sometimes is a blessing | | B．we should save up for a rainy day | | C．fortune just goes with those prepared minds | | D．both losses and gains go hand in hand |

“Confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits（品质）in the Americans．They show confidence in the way they talk，the way they smile，the way they dress and the way they walk．Living and competing with all these confidence American students，I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor．As a student，being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind．Don’t mind if it sounds simple or silly．Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all．What’s worse，the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue—this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive．
Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it．Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace．But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches．（The course I’m teaching here is Public Speaking）．Modesty is a trait highly valued in China，but it won’t be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program．
小题1:To compete with American students it’s very important to ．| A．be quite confident | | B．be polite and friendly | | C．have more discussions with them | | D．understand what they think about |
小题2:A professor will have the worst opinion of a student who ．| A．gives a silly or simple answer | | B．tries to seize any chance to speak in class | | C．shows no interest in the course | | D．is considered to have no opinion of his own |
小题3:The author is most likely to feel embarrassed if ．| A．he asks a student to repeat what he has said | | B．the students bargain with him | | C．he pretends to know what he doesn’t | | D．he has to give a speech |
小题4:We learn from the second paragraph that ．| A．we should also remain modest in America | | B．modesty doesn’t help you much in America | | C．Americans also like modest people | | D．modesty can help you through an American graduate program |
小题5:The passage is mainly developed by ．| A．providing examples | | B．making comparisons | | C．giving different figures | | D．telling personal experiences |

The world is filled with smart，talented and gifted people．We meet them every day．A few days ago，my car was not running well．I pulled it into a garage，and the young mechanic had it fixed in just a few minutes．He knew what was wrong by simply listening to the engine．I was amazed．The sad truth is，great talent is not enough．
I am constantly shocked at how little talented people earn．I heard the other day that less than 5 percent of Americans earn more than $100，000 a year．A business consultant who specializes in the medical trade was telling me how many doctors and dentists struggle financially．It was this business consultant who gave me the phrase，“They are one skill away from great wealth．”
There is an old saying that goes，“Job means ‘just over broke（***）’”．And unfortunately，I would say that the saying applies to millions of people．Because school does not think financial intelligence is intelligence，most workers“ live within their means”．They work and they pay the bills．Instead I recommend young people to seek work for what they will learn，more than what they will earn．
When I ask the classes I teach，“How many of you can cook a better hamburger than McDonald’s?” almost all the students raise their hands．I then ask，“So if most of you can cook a better hamburger，how come McDonald’s makes more money than you?” The answer is obvious: McDonald’s is excellent at business systems．The reason why so many talented people are poor is that they focus on building a better hamburger and know little or nothing about business systems．The world is filled with talented poor people ．They focus on perfecting their skills at building a better hamburger rather than the skills of selling and delivering the hamburger．
小题1:The author mentions the mechanic in the first paragraph that ．| A．he is just one of the talented people | | B．he is ready to help others | | C．he has a sharp sense of hearing | | D．he knows little about car repairing |
小题2:The underlined part in the third paragraph can be best replaced by ．| A．spend more than they can afford | | B．do in their own way | | C．live in their own circle | | D．live within what they earn |
小题3:Why do talented people earn so 1ittle according to the author?| A．They don’t work hard enough | | B．They lack financial intelligence | | C．They don’t make full use of their talents | | D．They have no specialized skills． |
小题4:The success of McDonald"s lies in its ．| A．skills at making hamburgers | B．good business systems | | C．talented workers | D．excellent service |
小题5:The main purpose of the author is to tell us ．| A．how young people can find a satisfactory job | | B．what schools should teach students | | C．why so many talented people are poor | | D．how McDonald’s makes much money |

In your life，nothing happens by chance or by means of good or bad luck．Everything to test the limits of your soul．Without these small tests，life would be like a smoothly paved， ，flat road to nowhere．Safe and comfortable but dull and pointless．
If someone you or breaks your heart，forgive them for they have helped you trust and the importance of being cautious to whom you open your heart to．If someone loves you，love them back ，not only because they love you，but because they are teaching you to love and opening your heart and to things you would have never felt or seen without them．
Make every day count．Appreciate every and take from it everything that you possibly can，for you will never be able to experience it again．
| 小题1: | | A．takes | B．occurs | C．shows | D．breaks |
|
| 小题2: | | A．busy | B．muddy | C．straight | D．enjoyable |
|
| 小题3: | | A．wins | B．interests | C．influences | D．hurts |
|

|
| 小题5: | | A．unconditionally | B．desperately | C．intentionally | D．instantly |

| 小题6: | | A．arms | B．mouth | C．brain | D．eyes |

Reading to dogs is an unusual way to help children improve their literacy skills. With their shining brown eyes, wagging tails, and unconditional love, dogs can provide the nonjudgmental listeners needed for a beginning reader to gain confidence, according to Intermountain Therapy Animals （ITA） in Salt Lake City. The group says it is the first program in the country to use dogs to help develop literacy in children, with the introduction of Reading Education Assistance Dogs（READ）.
The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea. “Literacy specialists admit that children who read below the level of their fellow pupils are often afraid of reading aloud in a group, often have lower self-respect, and regard reading as a headache,” said Lisa Myron, manager of the children’s department.
Last November, the two groups started “Dog Day Afternoon” in the children"s department of the main library. About 25 children attended each of the four Saturday-afternoon classes, reading for half an hour. Those who attended three of the four classes received a “paw graphed” book at the last class.
The program was so successful that the library plans to repeat it in April, according to Dana Thumpowsky, public relations manager.
小题1:What is mainly discussed in the text?| A．Children’s reading difficulties. | | B．Advantages of raising dogs. | | C．Service in public library. | | D．A special reading program. |
小题2: Specialists use dogs to listen to children reading because they think ______________. | A．dogs are young children"s best friends | | B．children can play with dogs while reading | | C．dogs can provide encouragement for shy children | | D．children and dogs understand each other |
小题3:By saying “The Salt Lake City Public Library is sold on the idea”, the writer means the library ____________.
A. uses dogs to attract children.
B. accepts the idea put forward by ITA.
C. has opened a children"s department.
D. has decided to train some dogs.
小题4: A “paw graphed” book is most probably_____________. | A．a book used in Saturday classes | | B．a book written by the children | | C．a prize for the children | | D．a gift from parents |
