I took my 9-year-old daughter，Suzan and 5-year-old son，Robbie to the shopping ce

题型：不详难度：来源：
I took my 9-year-old daughter，Suzan and 5-year-old son，Robbie to the shopping centre．As we got there，we saw a big sign that said，“Petting Zoo”．The kids jumped up and asked，“Daddy，can we go?”
Both my wife and I were out of work．However，I said，“Sure”，giving them a quarter each. They went away, leaving only fifty cents left in my pocket．
A petting zoo is made up of a hundred of little baby animals of all kinds．Kids pay their money and stay in the enclosure(围场)pleased with the little animals while their parents shop．
A few minutes later，I saw Suzan walking along behind me．I was surprised and asked what was wrong．
She said sadly，“Well，Daddy，a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents．So I gave Robbie my quarter．” Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard．She repeated the family motto(座右铭)，which is “Love is Action!”
I knew clearly no one loves little animals more than Suzan. She had watched both my wife and me do and say "Love is Action!” for years，and now she had put it into her lifestyle．It had become part of her，because she knew the whole family motto．It’s not only “Love is Action”；it’s “Love is SACRIFICAL(牺牲的)Action!" Love always pays a price．
I was moved．We went back to the Petting Zoo．Suzan stood with her hands and chin(下巴)resting on the fence and just watched Robbie go crazy petting and feeding the animals．I had fifty cents burning a hole in my pocket. I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money．Sure，I must do that !

答案

小题1:D
小题2:B
小题3:A
小题4:C
解析

试题分析：本文通过Suzan把钱给Robbie，让她去玩。说明爱就是牺牲，就是奉献。
小题1:D 主旨大意题。通过文章中讲述的这个故事，告诉我们爱就是要为别人做出牺牲，爱就是真正的行动，故D项正确。
小题2:B 细节题。根据本句Then she said the most beautiful thing I ever heard．She repeated the family motto(座右铭)，which is “Love is Action!”说明这样的说法是我们加的座右铭，故B正确。
小题3:A 推理题。根据第五段1,2行She said sadly，“Well，Daddy，a ticket for Petting Zoo costs fifty cents．So I gave Robbie my quarter．”说明她很无私地把自己的钱给了妹妹，故A正确。
小题4:C 推理题。根据文章最后一句I put my hand into my pocket and took out the money．Sure，I must do that !可知我伸手去拿钱给她，那么接下来她也可以和小动物玩了。故C正确。

Professor Barry Wellman of the University of Toronto in Canada has invented a term to describe the way many North Americans interact(交流，沟通) these days. The term is “networked individualism”. This concept is not easy to understand because the words seem to have opposite meanings. How can we be individuals(个人，个体) and be networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.
Here is what Professor Wellman means. Before the invention of the Internet and e-mail, our social networks included live interactions with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.
A recent research study by the Pew Internet and American Life Project showed that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced this person-to-person interaction. However, a lot of people interviewed for the Pew study say that’s a good thing. Why?
In the past, many people were worried that the Internet isolated (孤立)us and caused us to spend too much time in the imaginary world of the computer. But the Pew study discovered that the opposite is true. The Internet connects us with more real people than expected—helpful people who can give advice on careers, medical problems, raising children, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important role in helping them make major life decisions.
Thanks to the computer, we are able to be alone and together with other people — at the same time!
小题1:The underlined phrase “networked individualism” probably means that by using computers people ________.
A．stick to their own ways no matter what other people say
B．have the rights and freedom to do things of their own interest
C．do things in their own ways and express opinions different from other people
D．are able to keep to themselves but at the same time reach out to other people
小题2:According to the Pew study, what do many people rely on to make major life decisions?
A．NetworksB．FriendsC．PhonesD．Parents.
小题3:It can be inferred from the Pew study that _______.
A．people have been separated from each other by using computers
B．the Internet makes people waste a lot of time and feel very lonely
C．the Internet has become a tool for a new kind of social communication
D．a lot of people regard the person-to-person communication as a good thing
小题4:Which would be the best title for this passage?
A．We’re Alone on the Internet.
B．We’re Communicating on the Internet.
C．We’re Alone Together on the Internet.
D．We’re in the Imaginary World of the Internet

The other day I heard a few local musicians talking:
“I hate all the terrible pianos in this town. I hate that rubbish they play on the radio. They can’t even understand a bit of music.”
“I’m never playing in that club again. Too many drunks and nobody listens to us.”
But, one younger musician said, “There are a few clubs that book my band a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also looking to book a few summer festivals this year.”
I’ve heard that you are the average of the five people whom you spend the most time with, or to put it another way, you are who your friends are.
Attitudes are important. Whether they’re positive or negative, they’re rubbing off on you. If you’re around people who complain about lack of work and about other musicians, or blame (责怪) others, and you play the role of victim (受害者), chances are you will start to as well. So it’s time to take a look at the people you call “friends”.
This is an easy exercise: Make a list of the people who you hang out with, and simply stop spending time with the negative people on your list. Set a new standard (标准) for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Keep successful people around you and your own chances for success will be much better. Ask them how they do it. Ask if they will help you get the work you’re looking for, or maybe give you some advice to help you on your career path.
小题1:Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
A．A friend in need is a friend indeed
B．How to make friendship last for ever
C．You are who your friends are
D．Friends are the most important in one’s success
小题2:The underlined sentence “they’re rubbing off on you” in Paragraph 6 means ______.
A．they’ll push you aheadB．they’ll influence you
C．they’ll cover your shortcomingsD．they’ll help you achieve your goal
小题3:The musicians’ words at the beginning are written mainly to show ______.
A．the musicians’ living conditions are quite poor
B．people have poor taste in music
C．people have different attitudes towards the same thing
D．young people have greater chances of succeeding
小题4:By taking the exercise mentioned in Paragraph 7, you can ______.
A．improve a lot in making more friends
B．come to the right way of making friends
C．develop a better relationship with your friends
D．arrange the time with your friends properly

Dear Aunty,
I work at a supermarket, and another girl and I share tasks we must finish before leaving. But she takes half an hour to do something I can do in ten minutes. She always has a story to tell me and stops working when she does. My boss is angry at both of us, but It’s not my fault. I don’t want to rat on her, but what else can I do?
Flustered
Dear Flustered,
Let me propose a better way. Make a log of all the tasks you share, then suggest to your boss that for efficiency your duties could be divided into two separate checklists. If he’s reluctant, go to plan B: the next time this girl starts telling you a story, stop working to listen and call your boss over to hear what a great storyteller she is. I’m sure he’ll take it from here.
Aunty
Dear Aunty,
I’m a college student in the Philippines who wants to be wise with money. I’m not an economics or business major student and I don’t know anything about stocks. But I really want to buy assets and invest. I receive about 15,000 pesos（比索）every school term from my education plan. I don’t have any idea how I should spend it. I don’t want to just buy new clothes, or hang out with my friends because it would not be wise. I want my money to grow. Please enlighten me.
Fastbreakplay
Dear Fastbreakplay,
Being wise with money is the No. 1 thing to learn. Start with a disciplined and systematic savings plan. When your savings reach a sizeable amount, then you may start investing. In the meantime, invest in yourself by reading up on stock markets and capital markets. Follow the news. Before I started investing during my senior high school years, I had already studied stock market data of the past century as I believe markets tend to repeat themselves. If you master this skill, you will master your reading of the markets.
Aunty
