题型:不详难度:来源:

A woman repeated a bit of gossip (流言) about a neighbor. Within a few days the whole neighborhood knew the story. The neighbor was deeply hurt. Later the woman learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm.
“Go to the market,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pick its feathers(毛) and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told.
The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.”
The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.
“You see,” said the old man, “it’s easy to drop them, but it’s impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesn’t take much to spread(散布) a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo(弥补) the wrong.”

解析

试题分析:这篇文章讲述了一个女人向很多人散播了她邻居的谣言使邻居深受伤害,几天之后,她发现这个谣言不是真的,所以她感到很抱歉想弥补她犯下的错。但是,通过邻居让她做的事情,她知道了散播谣言很容易,一旦做了之后,就永远不可能完全弥补错误了。
小题1:细节题。根据第一段大意:这个女人散播了很多关于邻居的谣言,使邻居受到很深的伤害,后来他知道了他散播的那个事情完全不是真的,所以他感到很抱歉。故选B
小题2:推断题。A. surprised惊讶  B. excited 兴奋  C. upset心烦   D. pleased高兴根据第四段she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away.这个女人发现所有的羽毛都已经被风吹走了,可推断出,她的感受肯定是不好的。结合题目,可知upset符合文章。A,B,D选项都不符合。故选C
小题3:细节判断题。根据第一段The neighbor was deeply hurt.邻居被深深的伤害了。故A错误。文章没有提到这个明智的男人不够和善。故B错误。根据第四段After looking for hours, she returned with only three in her hand.寻找了几个小时之后,她只找到了3支羽毛。故C错误。根据文章中邻居让这个女人的做的事情,她知道了散播谣言容易,一旦做了,想要弥补犯下的错误则很难。故选D
小题4:推断题。根据最后一段It doesn’t take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”这个明智的男人说散播谣言不需要花费太多,但是一旦做了,你永远不可能完全弥补犯下的错。这句话在汉语里有个成语是“覆水难收”。故选A
点评:本片文章结构不难,文章中有一定的生词,首先花几分钟进行整体的阅读,弄清楚时间,人物及情节。理解最后老人说话的意思是理解整个文章中心的关键点,对应这类题目要结合题目中的选项来帮忙理解全文,耐心作答。

Zhao Hua is a student from a university. He has led a group of university student volunteers since last year. They help children at a primary school with their studies and daily lives.
"When I was a small child," Zhao said, "I knew March 5th was a day for people to learn from Lei Feng and help others, but I didn"t know the real meaning of the spirit(精神) of Lei Feng. Now when I see the smiling faces of the kids I have helped, I deeply understand Lei Feng. Helping others makes me happy.,"
Lei Feng (1940-1962) is one of the best-known soldiers in Chinese history. He lost his parents when he was very young. His neighbors brought him up. He died in an accident at the age of 22. He did many good deeds in his short life. For example, he gave his own money to the parents of another soldier, and bought a ticket for a woman he didn"t know without telling her his name.
On March 5th, 1963, Chairman Mao called on people to "Learn from Lei Feng" and made the day "Lei Feng Day".

C
Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. After I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.
In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.
Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits.
But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.

I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance(保险业)company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job —I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack. A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma(精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her present high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn’t probe(彻底调查) any further. He admitted (接受)my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another manager. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had —a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.
