閱讀理解

  Who's in control of your life? Who is pulling your string? For the majority of us, it's other people-society, colleagues, friends, family or our religious community.We learned this way of operating when we were very young, of course.We were brainwashed.We discovered that feeling important and feeling accepted was a nice experience and so we learned to do everything we could to make other people like us.As Oscar Wilde puts it, “Most people are other people.Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry(模仿), their passions a quotation.”

  So when people tell us how wonderful we are, it makes us feel good.We long for this good feeling like a drug.Therefore, we are so eager for the approval of others that we live unhappy and limited lives, failing to do the things we really want to.Just as drug addicts and alcoholics live worsened lives to keep getting their fix(一劑毒品).We worsen our own existence to get our own constant fix of approval.

  But, just as with any drug, there is a price to pay.The price of the approval drug is freedom-the freedom to be ourselves.The truth is that we cannot control what other people think.People have their own agenda, and they come with their own baggage and, in the end, they're more interested in themselves than in you.Furthermore, if we try to live by the opinions of others, we will build our life on sinking sand.Everyone has a different way of thinking, and people change their opinions all the time.The person who tries to please everyone will only end up getting exhausted and probably pleasing no one in the process.

  So how can we take back control? I think there's only one way-make a conscious decision to stop caring what other people think.We should guide ourselves by means of a set of values-not values imposed(強(qiáng)加)from the outside by others, but innate values which come from within.If we are driven by these values and not by the changing opinions and value systems of others, we will live a more authentic, effective, purposeful and happy life.

(1)

  With excitement and enthusiasm we started our small business.No longer were we   1   to have a weekly paycheck(工資).We now were on our own to   2   an income to provide us with the money to live.I was a little   3   about our ability to do this.But, Byron believed in our products, and believed in our ability to   4  

  We invested heavily in producing a number of products,   5   none of them are popular with customers.The market gave us so heavy a   6   that we hardly made enough money to pay our expenses.

  We now had our money   7   in the booth(貨攤)that we had rented for the summer and fall months.We had a lot of money   8   up in materials.So we did not have enough money to   9   our monthly bills.We were discouraged, and the thoughts of failure ran through our heads.

  As we discussed our   10  , I happened to read the words by Mary Pickford:“If you have made mistakes…there is always another chance for you…you may have a   11   start any moment you choose, for this thing we call‘Failure’is not falling down, but   12   down.”

  The words strengthen my determination and Byron's   3   that we could succeed.We did fall down, but we were   14   not to stay down!So, we stepped back and refocused.We came up with new products using remaining   15  .We redesigned our booth.We reconsidered our pricing system.And, we started making enough money to pay our   16

We thought we had it all---a beautiful house, three healthy children and one more on the way, two cars, a couple of four-wheelers for entertainment---and we loved it. Then, the market turned and my husband’s job at a construction company was gone. The company was closing down for good.We both started looking for jobs right away, but there weren’t any to be found. With each passing day we were getting increasingly worried and we continued to work together in order to pull our family through. The more we pulled together, the closer we got. I felt feelings of admiration for my husband that I hadn’t felt in years.

That’s why it was so hard for me to watch him blame himself for our present situation. I continually asked him to stop, but he seemed to want to punish himself for not having a job.

Finally, one afternoon I pulled him aside and said, “We have four healthy children and each other. That’s what’s important. That makes you a rich man.”

“ But what if we lose the house? They’ll hate me—you’ll hate me,” he replied.

I smiled at him and put my hands on both sides of his face to make him look me in the eye. “No matter where we live I will be happy –as long as I have you.” I smiled again. In all the struggling together I had found that deep love for him that I had on the day we said “I do”.

  I could see his shoulders and neck relaxed. He held me close and we were able to talk and plan and dream together in a way that we hadn’t for quite some time. It was a turning point for us as a couple and a family.

We are still struggling for out better life, but I consider us well-off because we have something that money can’t buy and no one can take away from us.

The underlined sentence in the second paragraph means that________.

       A.they became closer as they struggled together    

B.they hoped to find jobs in the same company

       C.neither of them had the courage to ace difficulty

       D.they were trying to make their relationship closer

We can learn from the passage that________.

       A.they both found good jobs at last.

       B.both of them were worried about joblessness.

       C.her husband was to blame for the unemployment

       D.they didn’t love each other when they got married

Which of the following can best describe their present life?

       A.Bitter but easy.         B.Comfortable and happy.

       C.Hard but warm.          D.Well-off and relaxing.

The best title of the passage might be________         .

       A.We Have It All            B.We Find It Again

       C.A Perfect Couple            D.A Hard Time

My dad was never the kind to offer many words of love or encouragement. But we knew he loved us... he just had his own way of showing it.

    When I was a teen, we were seasonal campers at a family campground almost an hour outside the city where we lived. Each family had their own campsite with water and electric, and you basically parked your camper there from May through October. Most "Seasonals" visited them every weekend during those months, with the occasional weeklong stay. There were plenty of other kids who camped seasonally each weekend, and they came to be some of my closest friends. Of course, many of them were boys.

    We kids paired up with our little boyfriends or girlfriends, and we'd hold hands as we'd walk around the campground. We'd play ping-pong, have some snacks, and play songs. Most weekends were pretty similar, but the couples would change. You'd see so-and-so with a different so-and-so than they were with the weekend before. You know how it is when you're a teen — a three-week relationship is a really long time.

    So, needless to say, my teen years were spent with quite a few different boys. But every single one of them had something in common... they'd all received The Evil Eye.

    The Evil Eye was a magical sort of thing. One simple look from my dad, and the boy immediately knew not to mess with me. It was as if he could send his warnings through invisible laser(激光)beams that shot directly from his eyes to the boys' brains.

    "You will not put your hands on my daughter... You will not kiss my daughter... You will not even whisper sweet nothings into my daughter's ear."

    I remember one night in particular, walking with a boy around the campground after dark. We came from one direction, and my dad from the other. The boy and my dad locked eyes for a brief second, then the boy dropped my hand like a hot potato and turned away, giving me a quick, "See ya later."

    Yes, the Evil Eye. Best way ever to keep wandering teen boy hands away from your daughters.  

1. The Evil Eye in the passage implies that__________.

A. Dad gets angry easily                    B. Dad’s eyes are like evil’s

C. Dad’s eyes are ugly-looking         D. Dad’s eyes are protective to his daughter

2. The underlined words “mess with” in paragraph 5 most probably means_________.

A. cause trouble        B. make untidy      C. get married to       D. talk to

3.A. As teenagers, we went camping every weekend.

B. We made lots of friends during the seasonal camping.

C. We had regular boyfriends or girlfriends and enjoyed ourselves.

D. The boy dropped my hand and turned away because he loved The Evil Eye.

4.It can be inferred from the passage that the author ___________.

A. is a teenage girl who loves her father

B. is a teenage boy who hates his father

C. is now an adult who has come to understand her father’s love

D. used to be a naughty boy who changed girlfriends now and then

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源: 題型:閱讀理解

When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts (童子軍), so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.

We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs (懸崖). If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.

Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.

We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them. But no one moved towards the river — we stood looking at each other ashamed (感到不好意思的). Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.

An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep (悄悄移動(dòng)) down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow (陰暗), we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.

When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.

     Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.

1.The writer in the text mainly tells us ________.

A. the story of his childhood                              B. a strange camping experience

C. about a stranger by the river                          D. about a good place for camping

2.Why did the boys eat their supper slowly?

A. They wanted to go to the river bank at a later time.

B. They were waiting for their scoutmaster.

C. They had a supper earlier than usual.

D. They were talking while eating.

3.The word “bewildered” in the text probably means ________.

A. ashamed                                                      B. nervous (緊張的)

C. unable to understand                                     D. eager (渴望的) to know something

4.The writer still remembers the event because  ________.

A. the boys acted foolishly

B. the camping place is beautiful

C. there has been no explanation for the event

D. he particularly enjoyed his camping that summer
