题型:不详难度:来源:
You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings,you say hello, and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible! Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time. Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect. When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down. Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that. Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible. 小题1: The purpose of the first paragraph is to ______.A.make a comparison | B.offer an evidence | C.introduce a topic | D.describe a daily scene | 小题2: How can negative people have effect on us?A.By influencing our emotion. | B.By telling us the nature of life. | C.By changing our ways of thinking. | D.By comparing their attitudes to life with ours. | 小题3: Some negative people base their happiness on _______.A.other people’s pity for them | B.making other people unhappy | C.building up a positive attitude | D.other people’s respect for them | 小题4: According to the passage, to reduce negative people’s influence on us,we are advised to ____. A.change negative people’s attitudes to life | B.show our dissatisfaction to negative people | C.make negative people feel ashamed of themselves | D.communicate with negative people as little as possible | 小题5:What is the author’s attitude towards negative people?A.Favorable. | B.Critical. | C.Indifferent. | D.Supportiv |

Last year.I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC.I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money.I just need help finding the post office.” In an instant, I realized what I had done.I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself. The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister.Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble(卑微的)jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer. In my own life, I have experienced prejudice.I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me. But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility(谦虚).By the way, I helped that lady to the post office.I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson. 小题1:How did the writer give the blind woman money?A.In a modest way | B.In a polite way | C.In an impatient way. | D.In a painful way | 小题2:According to the text, the writer__________. A.still lives a poor life B.was busy with his work C.was born in Honduras D.was a native of Washington D.C. 小题3:According to the text, the author most probably agrees that one should__________.A.be nice to the elderly and the disabled | B.try to experience different kinds of culture | C.treat others equally with love and respect | D.think about one’s past as often as possible | 小题4:What would be the best title of the text?A.A priceless lesson | B.An act of prejudice | C.A sightseeing trip | D.A humble moment |

Our thoughts, words, and actions often cause harm to others and to us. Without reconciliation (和解), we cannot deepen our understanding and only cause more suffering. "Beginning Anew" is a(n) 36 of reconciliation. It involves three steps ---- sharing appreciation, expressing 37 , and expressing hurt and difficulties. In the first step, we share appreciation. We acknowledge the 38 qualities of the other person. The second step -- expressing regret, is to 39 with the other person our regrets for the things we have done or said that might have caused him or her 40 . This requires humility (谦逊), and the 41 to let go of our own pride. In the third step, we 42 our own hurt with mindful and loving 43 without blaming or criticizing. We speak in such a way that the other person can listen and 44 our words. If we 45 the other person, his heart will 46 and he will not be able to hear us. We ask the other person to help us to understand 47 he has spoken and acted as he has , causing us so much pain. Perhaps, later, he can share his feelings 48 we can understand him more deeply. If a strong 49 arises in us while we are expressing our suffering, we should simply 50 and come back to our breathing until the emotion becomes 51 . The other person can 52 us by following his breathing until we are ready to continue. We can enjoy practicing "Beginning Anew" with our partner, our family, or our friends 53 .
