阅读理解 I"m a 21yearold boy,and this is my story. A month after I graduated
题型：同步题难度：来源：
A month after I graduated from high school in 2004,I was coming home from swim practice and was
involved in a car accident.I was so seriously injured that I was in a coma (昏迷) for over two months at
Prince Georges Hospital.
I died eight times during my coma and I couldn"t talk or communicate when I woke up.Walking was
never going to happen again due to all the extreme injuries.Just like my body,my dreams were
shattered (破灭)．But I was not going to let my injuries stop me from living my dream.
After 14 operations and 36 blood transfusions,I had to learn how to talk,eat,walk,shower,and live
independently again.When I was out of hospital,I still had to go to outpatient therapy (门诊治疗) in
Waldorf,Maryland.After spending a few months in a wheelchair,I took baby steps to walk on my own.It was a miracle (奇迹) that I could walk again,but I wanted to prove that I could not only walk,but run.
When it came true,I wanted to get back in the pool again.After a few lung tests,I was able to go in the
pool a little bit each week.After a few months of swim training,I began my freshman year at St.Mary"s
College of Maryland and became a proud member of the swim team.
By telling my story,I want to make a positive influence on the world.I am just trying to live each day to
the fullest and inspire other people to never give up on their dreams no matter how bad a situation is.I
remember when I was still in my hospital bed,I would have my mom and dad push me around in my wheelchair to the other rooms to see the other patients and talk to them and their families.I wanted to let them
know that everything was going to be okay.Somehow,things would work out for the best.
B. had finished his high school education
C. was a college student
D. was returning home from a swim competition
B. was in surprise
C. faced physical and mental challenges
D. was worried about his lung
B. Actions speak louder than words.
C. Everything happens for a reason.
D. A good beginning is half done.
a. ran
b. received membership of the swim team
c. trained for swim
d. baby walked
e. learnt to live all by himself
B. e,d,a,c,b
C. d,a,b,c,e
D. e,d,a,b,c
B. His painful experiences.
C. His influence on others.
D. His great achievements.

"The days that make us happy make us wise."--John Masefield.
When I first read this line by England"s Poet Laureate(桂冠诗人),I was amazed.What did Masefield
mean?Without thinking about it much,I had always assumed that the opposite was true.But his calm
assurance(自信) was remarkable.I could not forget it.
Finally ,I seemed to grasp his meaning and realized that here was a profound (意义深远的)observation.The wisdom that happiness makes possible lies in clear understanding,not fogged by anxiety nor dimmed(变暗淡) by despair and boredom,and without the blind spots caused by fear.
Active happiness-not more satisfaction or contentment-often comes suddenly,like an April shower or
the unfolding of a bud(蓓蕾).Then you discover what kind of wisdom has accompanied it.The grass is
greener;bird songs are sweeter;the shortcomings of your friends are more understandable and more
forgivable.Happiness is like a pair of eyeglasses correcting your spiritual vision.
The insight of happiness are not limited to what is near around you.Unhappy ,with your thoughts turned in
upon your emotional sadness,your vision is cut short as though by a wall.Happy ,the wall crumbles(倒塌).
The long vista(展望)is there for the seeing.The ground at your feet,the world about you-people ,
thoughts,emotions,pressures-are now fitted into the larger scene.Everything assumes a fairer proportion
(比例、关系).
And here is the beginning of wisdom.
B. Because he had never thought about that before
C. Because he thought it was impossible to be both happy and wise
D. Because he thought it rubbish for Masefield to write something like that
B．comprehension
C．Cooperation
D．Responsibility
B．active happiness happens when a bud unfolds
C．it occurs when your understanding of everything is better
D．it happens out of our expectation
B.looking at things from different angles
C.considering advantages and disadvantages
D.sweeping

Stop wasting your time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings.Instead, realize that the
seeds of success were planted within you when you were born.Only you have the power to make those
seeds grow.
The seeds and the power to grow them are contained in the human mind.Success is a choice but not a
chance.You can be a success if only you make the right choice.
You cannot be successful without first developing yourselfesteem (自尊). Your level of selfesteem is
always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life.People with low selfesteem do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives.They
are leaves tossed (摇摆) by the winds of chance brought about with any sudden change in the weather.
You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for whatever happens in your life.Failures think that everything happens by accident while successful people
realize that they are responsible.
Everything happens as a result of something.If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect.We are responsible for what we consciously choose to accept and believe.Thoughts and beliefs cause
everything.Our attitudes and actions are a result of habits ingrained in us over a period of time.One
generally rises to the level that one expects.We are responsible fo
r setting our expectations.Our success depends upon our level of confidence.We are responsible for either reinforcing good habits or kicking
bad habits and consciously replacing them with consistently practiced good habits.
If you associate with positivethinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success.On the
contrary, the opposite happens.We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing (培育) the seeds
that contain future victory, born from setbacks.
In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible.Once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.
1. Losers would think that________.
A. success is the result of hard work
B. working hard will lead to success
C. they fail only because of bad luck
D. they don"t make efforts to succeed
2. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.
A. whether we will succeed depends on our attit
udesB. developing confidence is the key to future success
C. thoughts and beliefs are the result of creative mind
D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action
3. The last paragraph serves as________.
A. the proof of the author"s point
B. the conclusion of the argument
C. an introduction to another topic
D. a comparison between two views
4. Which is the best title of the text?
A. Success is a choice
B. The secrets of success
C. Develop our confidence
D. How to achieve success
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 (令人沮丧的) tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his
morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.Are you 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 have 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 coworker,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.
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
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 way of thinking.
D．By comparing their attitude to life with ours.
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
4．According to the passage,to reduce negative people"s influence on us,we are advised________.
A．to change negative people"s attitude to life
B．to show our dissatisfaction to negative people
C．to make negative people feel ashamed of themselves
D．to communicate with negative people as little as possible
