Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to  36 others how their positions, statements and points of view are   37  and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow   38  it, or at least learn something. Wrong！
Think about it. Have you ever been   39  by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.” Or has anyone you know ever   40  you when you corrected him, or made yourself “right” at his 41  ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us   42 to be corrected. We all want our position to be   43  and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest   44  of the human heart. And those who learn to   45  are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the   46  of correcting others are often hated and   47 .
A wonderful way of becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice  48    others the joy of being right--- give them the glory.   49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to…” rather than   50  and saying, “No, it’s more important to…” , simply let it go and allow his statement to   51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more   52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have   53  possible. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and seeing other people’s  54  , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos（自我意识）. Starting today, and let others be “  55  ” most of the time.

解析

试题分析：本文讲述了在我们的人生中，我们要学会宽容别人，学会谅解别人不要总是纠正，学会倾听，才能得到别人的爱戴。
小题1: B  showsb．sth．“给某人展示……”。此处指有些人总是指出别人的立场、观点等是错误的。show后跟的是how引导的宾语从句。干扰性比较大的是teach，teach。b．ste教(会)某人什么，但后面一般不跟从句。
小题2:C 由下文“纠iE"别人可知。文章的第一段用以提出问题，有些人老是指出别人的观点、立场等“不对”，因此选incorrect，相当于wrong。其他选项“不重要的”、“不可信的”、“不完美的”都与前后文出现的“纠正"别人在表达的逻辑上不一致。
小题3:B  appreciate此处意为“感激”。有些人在指出别人 错误的同时，期望别人会“感激”他们。首先refuses!拒绝”在此与作者所表达的意义相反，consider“考虑”，understand“理解”都没有把握好上下文的联系和提示。上文已经提到thank一词。
小题4:A 此处作者以反问的形式指出：你在“纠正’’别人的时候，别人感激过你吗?correct此处用作动词，意为“纠正”。fooled"欺骗”，helped"帮助”，与“感激’’在逻辑上矛盾；taught"教学”，意义不通。
小题5:D 此处整句都是作者的反问，言外之义：你在纠正别人的时候，别人并没有“感激”你，而是怨恨你、对你敬而远之。rewarded"报答”，cared"在乎”，accepted"接受”，意义上似乎都沾点边，但都脱离了上下文的逻辑和提示。
小题6: C  atone"sexpense意为“以牺牲……为代价”。此处有踩着别人的肩膀往上爬之意。英语中。none"s side是“站在某人一边”；prtce指的是“价格”；cost指的是做什么事情的“成本”。
小题7:B 此处作者指出实际的情况：我们都“不喜欢、痛恨”被别人“纠正”，hate to be done"痛恨、不喜欢被……”。like“喜欢”，prefer"更喜欢”偏离了此处的意义；afford to do意为“有钱干……”。
小题8:A 由后面的understood可知，我们都希望自己的立场得到别人的“尊重”和理解。admired"崇拜”在语意上意味太强；receive"收到(具体的东西)”，realized"实现”不符合表达的需要。
小题9: D 指我们内心的“***”。shortcomings"缺点”，advantages"优点”，从意思上很容易排除；wishes干扰性较大，意思是“理想”，语意太强，而且与后面的 of the human heart不搭配。
小题10:C 学会“倾听”别人的观点，才能得到别人的爱戴和尊敬。从不要老去纠正别人，而应该学会“倾听”这一角度，就能排除其他三个选项。
小题11:B  beinthehabit of相当于have the habit of
小题12: A 由前面的“怨恨”可知，老是纠正别人会引起别人的“憎恨”和“回避”。left"留下”，不符合此处表达的意义；punished"惩罚”和scolded"批评”表达上太绝对。
小题13: D  allowsb．sth．“允许某人拥有……”。1et没有此搭配；lendsb．sth．意为“借给某人某物”；owesb．sth．意为“欠某人什么”。
小题14:C 作者建议：“别再老是‘纠正’别人”，故用stopdoine"停止干……”。其他三个选项在搭配上都成立，但把握住作者的建议便可排除它们。
小题15:B  jumpin相当于breakin"插话、打断别人”。理解了此处的意思，便可排除其他选项，break out当战争、火灾、争吵等“爆发”讲；break up当物体或关系“破裂”讲；breakoff当“挣脱”或“打断(锁链等)”讲。
小题16: A  stand意为“站得住脚、能成立”讲。last"持续”，work用作不及物动词，意为“起作用”，都脱离了作者表达的意图。
小题17:D loving“友爱的”。helpful"有帮助的”，careful“细心的”，popular"流行的、受欢迎的”，此处应考虑与前面less defensive"减少敌意”在表达的逻辑上要一致。
小题18: C  dream"梦想”。此处作者表达的意思是：一旦你停止纠正别人，别人就会对你非常感激，超出你的期望。 此处应从“超出期望”这一角度去理解。asked和demanded意思都是“要求”，wanted“想”语意太弱。
小题19: B 目睹别人因为正确而获得的“幸福”。sufferings“磨难”，worries"担心的事”，success"成功”，都偏离了文章的意义。
小题20: A 由全文可知，这是作者议论的中心：让别人“对”吧。
点评：本文讲述了在我们的人生中，我们要学会宽容别人，学会谅解别人不要总是纠正，学会倾听，才能得到别人的爱戴。本文主要是测试学生综合运用语言的能力，即从语篇的角度综合测试阅读理解能力、词汇的掌握和对英语习惯用语的熟悉程度、以及语法规则的灵活运用。考生做题时必须时刻从上下文考虑，不应该只看到所添的词在短语或句子内是否可行。因此，在做题时最好将全文通读一下，了解了全文的意思以后再作答。
举一反三
One stormy night many years ago, an elderly man and his wife entered the hall of a small hotel in Philadelphia. Trying to get out of the rain, they came to the front desk hoping to get some shelter for the night.
“Could you possibly give us a room here?” the husband asked.
The clerk, a friendly man with a winning smile, looked at the couple and explained that there were three conventions in town.“All of our rooms are taken,” the clerk said.“But I can’t send a nice couple like you out into the rain at one o’clock in the morning. Would you perhaps be willing to sleep in my room? It’s not exactly a suite, but it will be good enough to make you folks comfortable for the night.”
When the couple declined, the young man pressed on.“Don’t worry about me; I’ll make out just fine.” the clerk told them. So the couple agreed.
As he paid his bill the next morning, the elderly man said to the clerk,“You are the kind of manager who should be the boss of the best hotel in the United States. Maybe someday I’ll build one for you.” The clerk looked at them and smiled. The three of them had a good laugh. As they drove away, the elderly couple agreed that the helpful clerk was indeed exceptional, as finding people who are both friendly and helpful isn’t easy.
Two years passed. The clerk had almost forgotten the incident when he received a letter from the old man. It recalled that stormy night and enclosed a round—trip ticket to New York, asking the young man to pay them a visit.
The old man met him in New York, and led him to the corner of Fifth Avenue and 34th street. He then pointed to a great new building there, a pale reddish stone, with turrets and watchtowers thrusting up to the sky.“That,” said the older man,“is the hotel I have just built for you to manage.”“You must be joking,” the young man said.“I can assure you I am not,” said the older man, a sly smile playing around his mouth.
The older man’s name was William Waldorf Astor, and that magnificent structure was the original Waldorf—Astoria Hotel. The young clerk who became its first manager was George C.Boldt. This young clerk never foresaw the turn of events that would lead him to become the manager of one of the world’s most glamorous hotels.
小题1:The purpose of the author writing this story is to_______.
A．give people a good laughB．cover some facts
C．promote the business of Waldorf—Astoria HotelD．deliver a lesson
小题2:Which of the statements about the story is NOT true?
A．The story took place at about one a.m..
B．The old couple was too poor to afford a luxurious room.
C．The clerk was willing to help those in need.
D．The clerk received an unexpected invitation from the old man.
小题3:The underlined word “conventions” in Para.3 can be replaced by_______?
A．roomsB．suitesC．meetingsD．hotels
小题4:Which of the following proverbs suits the story the best?
A．Every little thing helps.
B．Make hay while the sun shines.
C．Man proposes； God disposes(处理,决定).
D．One good turn deserves another.

Growing up on a tobacco farm, Emma Avery was used to hard times. When she was seven, her family’s farmhouse burned to the ground. Her father made a temporary (临时的) shelter, where eight people had to sleep in two beds. As soon as Emma and her four brothers and two sisters were big enough, they were out in the fields.
Emma would find her comfort in school, even as a C student, thanks to one teacher. When she moved on to middle school, Emma was alarmingly far behind her classmates. She kept her head down, trying not to be noticed, struggling to catch up, and feeling like an outsider.
Then one day, when Emma was 16, a teacher named Mr. Potts changed everything. Looking his students in the eye, Mr. Potts said, "Being a C student does not mean you do not have a valuable contribution to make. Some of you have to work in the fields in the evening and do not have time to study. But if you do your best, you have a gift to give."
The teacher’s words made Emma believe she could do well, and she worked harder. In the end she won a scholarship to St. Paul’s College, graduated with a degree in elementary education in 1967, and got a job in the public-school system. Then, at George Washington University, she received a master’s in education in 1970, and afterwards in the same year she married Ron Smothers.
Over the next six years, Emma taught in public schools in Miami. In 1976, after saving $10,000, she opened her first restaurant in Los Angeles. Eventually Emma stopped teaching, and her business expanded (扩展) to six restaurants.
In gratitude (感激) for what she has been able to achieve, Emma donates a lot. She has no idea how much money she’s given away. She says, "Those I want to help are the C students who just need help, direction and confidence."
小题1:The first paragraph serves to show that Emma ______.
A．was poor and had no time to study

D．was kind enough to help support the family
小题2:From the text we learn that Emma ______.
A．won a scholarship to George Washington University

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say. “Well, it’s so-and-so’s fault.” Or “I know I am late, but it’s not my fault; the car broke down.” It is not your fault, but once you form the habit of blaming（责备） somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a lose. You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation. However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop focusing on whom to blame and start focusing on how to remedy the situation. This is the winner’s key to success.
Winners are great at overcoming problems. For example if you were late because your car broke down, maybe you need to have your car examined regularly .Or, you might start to carry along with you the useful phone numbers, so you could call for help when in need. For another example, if your colleague causes you problems on the job for lack of responsibility or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person. Ask to work with a different person, or don’t rely on this person. You should accept that the person is not reliable and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your colleague fails to do his job well.
This is what being a winner is all about---creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens Winners don’t have few problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else. They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges and opportunities to develop their own talents. So, stop focusing on “Whose fault it is”. Once you are confident about power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success.
小题1:According to the passage, winners__________.
A．deal with problems rather than blame others
B．meet with fewer difficulties in the lives
C．have responsible and able colleagues
D．blame themselves rather than others
小题2:The underlined word“remedy” in Paragraph 1 is closest in meaning to ________.
A．avoidB．acceptC．improveD．consider
小题3:When your colleague(同事) brings about a problem, you should _________.
A．find a better way to handle the problems
B．blame him for his lack of responsibility
C．tell him to find the cause of the problem
D．ask a more able colleague for help
小题4:When problems occur, winners take them as__________.
A．excuses for their failures
B．barriers（障碍） to greater power
C．challenges to their colleagues
D．chances for self-development
小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A．A winner’s SecretB．A Winner’s Problem
C．A Winner’s OpportunityD．A Winner’s Achievement
