From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. After all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned: it is very important to work. No excuse.
When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:C
小题5:D
解析

试题分析:这篇短文讲述的是作者从自己的父亲身上学到了很多东西,他对父亲非常的感激。作者在文中举了三个例子告诉我们他从父亲身上学到了什么。
小题1:推理判断题。根据短文第二段中When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display,可知,在作者12岁的时候,星期六的时候他会去爸爸的店里帮忙,他帮着照看外面展示的衣服。由此我们推断出,作者的父亲是拥有一个服装店。故选C。
小题2:推理判断题。根据From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him可知B是正确的;根据After 10 years of hard work,可知C是对的;根据he saved up enough money to buy his first car,可知D是正确的;根据The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.可知,作者只追过一次小偷,他的爸爸告诉他,没有必要那样做,安全比钱更重要,因此以后作者不会再去追小偷了。故A是错误的。
小题3:推理判断题。这篇短文作者说他从爸爸身上学到了很多东西,这里第一段中提到了工作很重要;第二段中提到了安全比钱更重要;第三段中提到了买你能负担得起的东西。没有提到的是B选项,保持健康的方法。故选B。
小题4:细节理解题。根据短文最后一段中I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务).可知,作者从父亲身上学到了:只去买你能负担得起的东西,如买必要的食物和衣服,这并不会使我们负债。因此我们可知,买一些不必要的东西有可能会使我们负债。故选C。
小题5:主旨大意题。这篇短文的开头第一段作者就告诉我们,他从父亲身上学到了很多东西,因此他对父亲非常的感激。下面作者分别举了三个例子告诉我们他从父亲身上学到了什么。故D选项:作者从父亲身上所学到的东西这个概括最符合文意。故选D。

We often find that weekends and holidays feel so short while classes and work feel so long. Actually, though,
we know that this is not true. But we still wonder where that strange feeling comes from.
In fact, this is one of the ways that we"re tricked by time, according to the website All That Is Interesting. The website lists several wrong impressions we often have about time. Let"s have a look.
First of all, emotions affect our time-keeping abilities: Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time. However, when we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and are likely to lose track of(失去对….的意识) time.
Here is another example. In 2007, a group of scientists carried out a test. In the test, people fell 50 meters into a safety net and were then asked about their experience. Although the experience took shorter than 3 seconds, the people thought it was much longer than it actually was.
This is because of the way our bodies reply to danger, according to the scientists. Our bodies produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素) when we are faced with danger. It allows us to concentrate better so that we can stay alive. As a result, we are able to remember far more details(细节)over a short period of time, which makes it seem like time is going more slowly.
Another situation when we make mistakes about time is when we take afternoon naps(午觉). Have you ever had trouble telling what time it is after a long nap? That"s because the best amount of time for a nap is 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you enter a new stage of sleep called slow-wave sleep. If you wake up mid-way in this stage, it will take a while before you can correctly perceive(感知) time again.
Yes, time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.
小题1: According to the passage, what possibly makes people feel so long ?
A.weekends and holidaysB.weekends and work
C.classes and workD.holidays and work
小题2:Which is NOT the wrong impressions that we often have about time according to the website listing?
A.negative emotionsB.positive emotions
C.adrenaline D.scientists
小题3:According to the passage, in which situation do we make mistakes about time?
A.We have many problems left in the test paper, but the time is up.
B.We have a math test when we fall down from a high place.
C.We may have trouble telling what time it is after a long nap.
D.We go to school on the school bus as usual on weekdays.
小题4:According to the passage , what will NOT happen when we are faced with danger ?
A.Our bodies will produce a chemical called adrenaline.
B.We are able to feel that time seems to go more slowly.
C.Adrenaline will make us concentrate better to stay alive.
D.We will forget far more details over a short period of time.
小题5:Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage ?
A.Negative emotions, especially anxiety and boredom, make time seem longer because they make us concentrate more on the passage of time.
B.When we are enjoying ourselves, we pay more attention to what we are doing and we are able to feel like time is going more slowly.
C.If we wake up mid-way after a long nap, it will take a while before we can correctly perceive time again
D.Time can be mysterious and there is no way to control it. So, perhaps the best thing to do is to make good use of every minute.

On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快车道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (闲逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.

A.Because she was criticized by the boss.
B.Because a new job was offered to her.
C.Because she was laid off by the boss.

小题3: What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?
A.He would be seen at the exit of the freeway.
B.He usually smiled and waved at others.
C.He had a deep impression on the writer.
D.He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.
小题4:The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because                     .
A.he had collected a lot of money
B.he wanted to pay back her
C.he knew what she experienced
D.he wanted her to be happy
小题5: The writer learned from the story that                        .
A.a dollar bill will be enough to make you happy
B.each of us has been blessed all the time
C.whenever it is, we should choose to help others
D.it is more than money that brings us happiness
