科目：高中英語 來源：2016屆山東菏澤市高三下期4月模擬考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

I grew up poor. We had little money, but plenty of love and attention. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could still afford a dream. My dream was athletics.

By the time I was sixteen, I was good at baseball and football. My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis. He not only believed in me, but taught me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction（信念）.

One summer a friend recommended me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — cash for dates with girls, certainly, money for a new bike and new clothes, and the start of savings for a house for my mother.

Then I realized I would have to give up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was dreading（害怕）this, but my mother said: “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”

When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as mad as I expected him to be. “Your playing days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them,” he said.

I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the words that would explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house.

“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he demanded.

“Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.

“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the price of a dream?”

That question laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was drafted by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play rookie-league ball, and offered a $20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $1.7 million, and bought my mother the house of my dream.

1.The writer was grateful to Coach Jarvis, because Jarvis ______.

A. made him set a goal

B. supplied him with new clothes

C. gave him financial support

D. helped him show conviction

2.When the boy was offered a job, he wanted to ______.

A. balance summer baseball and the work schedule

B. refuse the job offer for summer baseball

C. give up summer baseball for the job

D. ask his coach Jarvis for advice

3. Which of the following can replace “If you make your bed, you have to lie in it.”?

A. You must eat the bitter fruit of your own making.

B. Believe in yourself, but above all be patient.

C. You must rely on yourself first, then others.

D. A good beginning makes a good ending.

4. The end of the story was that the writer ______.

A. failed to buy his mother a house

B. succeeded as a sportsman

C. became a successful businessman

D. made some money in the summer job

Comparative thinking and behavior is quite typical among teenagers, but it is the responsibility of the parent to set limits and hold firmly to them. Frequently, a parent will tell me in frustration about how their child has complained about not having the very best in fashion design like their friends, or the latest electronic gadgetry that all the other kids own.

Parents need to teach their children self?confidence. Those who are self?confident resist the urge to compare themselves to other people, and do not overestimate others' experience while diminishing their own. But some people may have a mantra signified by the slogan, if only. “If only I had the money of my brother; if only I was smart like my classmates; if only I was as good?looking as my friends.”

Comparing oneself with others is a trap. People who compare themselves with other individuals tend to feel that they are not good enough. They tend to perseverate(表現(xiàn)執(zhí)拗)about their shortcomings. Even if they try their best，it is not good enough because they can always find someone who performs at a higher level. When people compare, they generally focus on their negative traits. They ignore all that is going right in their life. They also tend to minimize their success and dismiss positive gestures and compliments.

Those who are confident listen to their own inner voice. They are not influenced by other people's view of events. They are not overly impressed by others' success, money, health，and material possessions. They do not believe that others have a greater sense of emotional well?being than they do.

Recently, The Harvard Mental Health Letter published an article which indicated that people with chronic(慢性的)pain had as significant a sense of well?being as those without chronic pain. However, those with chronic pain tended to overestimate the emotional well?being of physically healthy people. The study confirmed that it is how we view events that is important, not the nature of our circumstances which may include making comparisons.

1. It seems that those who make comparisons don't________.

A. care about their success

B. have self?confidence

C. overestimate others' experience

D. understand others' success

2.The third paragraph mainly tells us________.

A. people tend to compare themselves to other individuals

B. those who make comparisons focus on their strengths

C. those who make comparisons don't deserve compliments

D. making comparisons can cause many negative effects

3.The article published in The Harvard Mental Health Letter indicates________.

A. chronic pain actually doesn't affect people's sense of happiness

B. physically healthy people have a higher sense of happiness

C. emotional health has nothing to do with physical health

D. what is important is the nature of events rather than our viewpoints

4. What is the author's attitude towards “making comparisons”？

A. Favorable. B. Unconcerned.

C. Disapproving. D. Doubtful.

Everybody in this world is different from one another．But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money？

As we grow up，we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs．These are influenced by society，our family，the education we receive and so on．Once this value system is set up，it's not easy to change later in life．

The snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves．They take big long term loans from the bank in order to buy things such as luxury houses．They are happy to take big loans even though they are not sure whether they can afford it．This can cause problems in the future．They should plan more carefully．
