Question

【題目】 Attitude Is Everything Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.

One day I asked him, “I don’t get it! You can’t be a positive person all of the time. How do you do it?” Jerry replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself, ‘Jerry, you have two choices today. You can choose to be in a bad mood or in a good mood.’ I choose to be in a good mood. Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it.” Soon thereafter, I left the city and we lost touch. Several years later, I heard Jerry did something surprising: he left the back door open one morning and was held up at gunpoint by three armed robbers. While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination. The robbers panicked and shot him. Luckily, Jerry survived. After 18 hours of surgery and weeks of care, Jerry was released from the hospital with pieces of the bullets(子彈) still in his body.

I saw Jerry six months after the accident. I asked him what had gone through his mind as the robbery took place. “The first thing through my mind was that I should have locked the back door,” Jerry replied. “Then, as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live or to die. I chose to live. ”“Weren’t you scared?” I asked. Jerry continued, “The paramedics(護理人員) were great. They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me. In their eye, I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I need to take actions.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, a nurse asked me if I was allergic to anything,” said Jerry.“The doctors and nurses stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

【解析】

這是一篇記敘文。記敘了樂觀積極的Jerry被闖入家里的三個持槍搶劫犯打傷，生命垂危，在急救室里面對表情凝重的醫(yī)生和護士，Jerry用一個笑話緩解了緊張的情緒，鼓舞了大家也使自己起死回生。

【1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段中While trying to open the safe, his hand, shaking from nervousness, slipped off the combination.（當(dāng)他試圖打開保險柜時，由于緊張而顫抖的手從密碼上滑了下來。）可推知面對搶劫，Jerry在如此危險的情況下感到害怕。故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段中They kept telling me I was going to be fine. But in the emergency room, the facial expressions of the doctors and nurses really scared me.（他們一直告訴我我會好起來的。但是在急救室里，醫(yī)生和護士的面部表情真的嚇壞了我。）以及I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Yes! Bullets!’ Over their laughter, I told them, ‘Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”（我深吸了一口氣，喊道:“是的!子彈!他們笑得前仰后合，我對他們說:‘把我當(dāng)活人而不是死人來做手術(shù)。’”）可知Jerry在急救室的笑話鼓舞了醫(yī)生和護士，使他起死回生。故選A。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第一段Attitude Is Everything. Jerry was the kind of guy who was always in a good mood and always had something positive to say.（態(tài)度決定一切。Jerry是那種總是心情愉快，總是說些積極上進的話的人。）以及文章主要內(nèi)容可知采取積極的態(tài)度是活得充實的關(guān)鍵。故選D。
