Question

Everyone needs recognition(賞識) for his achievements,but few people make the need known quite as clearly as the little boy who said to his father,“Let’s play darts(飛鏢).I’ll throw and you should say ‘Wonderful!’”
Fran Tarkenton,former Minnesota Vikings quarterback,once called a play that required him to block onrushing tacklers.
FEL quarterbacks almost never block.They’re usually vastly outweighed by defenders,so blocking exposes them to the risk of severe injury.
But the team was behind,and a surprising play was needed.Tarkenton went into block,and the runner scored a touchdown.The Vikings won the game.
Watching the game films with the team the next day,Tarkenton expected a big pat on the back for what he’d done.    It never came.
After the meeting,Tarkenton approached coach Bud Grant and asked,“You saw my block,didn’t you,Coach?How come you didn’t say anything about it?”
Grant replied,“Sure,I saw the block.It was great,but you’re always working hard out there,Fran.I figured I didn’t have to tell you.”
“Well,”Tarkenton replied,“if you ever want me to block again,you do!”

1.D 推理題。根據(jù)文章第一句Everyone needs recognition(賞識) for his achievements可知人人都需要別人的承認(rèn)，需要別人的表揚(yáng)，沒有表揚(yáng)就不會有進(jìn)步。故D正確。
2.A 推理題。文章舉這個例子，正是為了形象的說明鼓勵的重要性。故A正確。
3.B 細(xì)節(jié)題。第三段最后一句blocking exposes them to the risk of severe injury.說明他很勇敢，很有冒險(xiǎn)精神。第四段The Vikings won the game.說明他們?nèi)〉昧顺晒Γ�故B正確。
4.A 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“Well,”Tarkenton replied,“if you ever want me to block again,you do!”如果你想我再次那樣做，就請表揚(yáng)我。說明Fran Tarkenton期待得到別人的承認(rèn)，得到別人的表揚(yáng)。
5.C 推理題。正是因?yàn)榻叹欱ud Grant沒有及時表揚(yáng)他，沒有對他的努力進(jìn)行肯定，也許下一次他就不會冒著這樣的危險(xiǎn)了。故C正確。
