举一反三
C
One Sunday, my family had gathered at my parents’ house to feast upon Mom’s wonderful cooking. During the normal dinner chatter (闲聊), I noticed that my father was slurring (说话含混) his words. No one mentioned this during dinner, but I felt compelled to discuss it with my mother afterward.
We decided that there was something seriously wrong and that Dad needed to see the doctor.
Mom phoned me two days later. “The doctor found a brain tumor (肿瘤). It’s too large at this point to operate. Maybe they can do something then, but the odds are long.”
Even with the treatment, my father’s condition worsened, and the doctor finally informed us that this condition was terminal (晚期的). During one of his stays in the hospital, we brought our baby daughter Chelsey with us when we visited him. By this time he had great difficulty speaking. I finally figured out that he wanted Chelsey to sit on his stomach so he could make faces at her.
Watching the two of them together, I realized I was living an experience that would stay with me forever. Though grateful for the times they could share, I couldn’t shake the feeling of a clock ticking in the background.
On the visit to my parents’ home during what we all know was my father’s last days, my mother took Chelsey from my arms and announced, “Your father would like to see you alone for a minute.”
I entered the bedroom where my father lay on a rented hospital bed. He appeared even weaker than the day before.
“How are you feeling, Dad?” I asked. “Can I do anything for you?”
He tried to speak, but he couldn’t make out a word.
“I’m sorry, but I can’t understand you,” I said.
With great difficulty he said, “I love you.”
We don’t learn courage from heroes on the evening news. We learn true courage from watching ordinary people rise above hopeless situations. In many ways my father was a strict, uncommunicative man. He found it difficult to show emotion. The bravest thing I ever saw him do was overcome that barrier to open his heart to his son and family at the end of his life.
小题1:Which of the following statements is TRUE?| A．The writer accompanied his father to a medical examination. | | B．The writer’s father got worse after the removal of the brain tumor. | | C．The writer was quick to notice the strange condition of his father. | | D．The writer’s father had known about his illness before the writer discovered it. |
小题2: What does the underlined sentence “the odds are long” mean?| A．There’s little possibility for Father to recover. | | B．It takes a long time for Father to recover. | | C．Father needs love and care from his family. | | D．They need a proper time to operate on Father. |
小题3:The father had never said “I love you” to the writer before because ________.| A．he believed in strictness and punishment | | B．he was not so attached to the writer | | C．he thought there was no need to tell the writer | | D．he was not used to openly showing his emotions |
小题4:What does the writer attempt to tell us?| A．We don’t often value health until we lose it. | | B．Don’t wait to see a doctor till it is too late. | | C．Life is short, so live your life to the fullest. | | D．Bravely express your love for your family. |

“Depend on yourself” is what nature says to every man. Parents can help you. Teachers can help you. But all these only help you to help yourself.
There have been many great men in history. But many of them were very poor in boyhood, and had no uncles, aunts, or friends to help them. Schools were few and low. They could not depend on them for an education. They saw how it was, and set to work with all their strength to know something. They worked their own way up to fame.
One of the most famous teachers in England used to tell his pupils, “I cannot make worthy men of you, but I can help you make men of yourselves.”
Some young men have no ambitions(抱负) to do anything; and they are to be pitied. They can never succeed unless they see their foolishness, and change their courses. They are nothing now, and will be nothing as long as they live, unless they accept the advice of parents and teachers, and depend upon their own honest and serious efforts.
小题1:The best title for this passage is ________.| A．Depend on Yourself | | B．Don’t Depend on Your Parents | | C．Nobody can help you | | D．The Good Advice |
小题2: From the passage we know that many great men in history ________.| A．learned everything themselves in boyhood | | B．didn’t receive any education | | C．had no relatives or friends | | D．depended on themselves to become famous |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE?| A．Parents can make you succeed. | | B．Great men in history were very poor. | | C．Teachers would not like to help you to be a man. | | D．Only you can make yourself a great man. |
小题4:Why have some young men failed in everything?| A．They have no ambitions. | | B．They are to be pitied. | | C．They have changed their courses. | | D．They have seen their foolishness. |

It is the duty of every man to work. The life of a lazy man is of no use to himself and to others. The man who is too lazy to work is the man who is generally most ready to beg or to steal. Every boy, when he is young, should learn how to do some useful work.
But it is not enough that a boy should learn some kind of work. He should put his heart and soul completely into his work, and not waste his spare time. “Work while you work and play while you play” is as good a rule for young people as for the old!
There is no better help to diligence (勤奋) than the habit of early rising, and this, just like all other good habits, is most easily formed in youth. There is an English saying, “Lost time never returns”. This means that everybody must be diligent and make good use of his time. One must study hard when one is young so that one may make great progress, succeed in life and become useful to one’s country. Those who are diligent will never become beggars. Therefore, we can say that diligence is the mother of success.
小题1:From the passage, we know that those who are too lazy to work will_________.| A．waste their time | | B．help others | | C．become beggars or thieves | | D．make progress some day |
小题2:In order to learn to be diligent, it’s important for young people to _________.| A．form the good habit of getting up early in youth | | B．learn about some good habits | | C．work while they work and play while they play | | D．work all the time without playing |
小题3:One can’t be successful in life unless he _________when he is young. | A．is diligent in his study | | B．loves life | | C．spends some time learning something | | D．makes up for his lost time |
