I looked at David and showed him to a chair.How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to,and which no words can describe.Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met,David didn’t say a word.He sat there,only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me.I suggested we play a game of chess.He nodded.After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me.It’s not easy to cheat in chess,but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually,he arrived earlier than agreed,took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down.It seemed as if he enjoyed my company.But why did he never look at me?
“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,”I thought.“Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.”Some months later,when we were playing chess,he looked up at me suddenly.
“It’s your turn,”he said.
After that day,David started talking.He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club.He wrote to me a few times,about his biking with some friends,and about his plan to get into university.Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something.But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person.All it takes is a hug,a shoulder to cry on,a friendly touch,and an ear that listens.

答案
小题1:C
小题2:A
小题3:B
小题4:A
小题5:D
解析
小题1:解析:选C。细节理解题。根据第一段中的He kept walking up and down restlessly,his face pale,and his hands shaking slightly.可知,第一次见面时,他表现得非常紧张。戴维失去了亲人,故不是“感到兴奋”或者“精力充沛地散步”,排除A项和B项。根据His head teacher had referred him to me.以及he wrote可知,他的老师把他介绍给作者,但没有陪着他来,故D项错误。
小题2:解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.可知,作者准备去做一名倾听者。文章虽提到有些问题心理学也无法给出答案,但这并不能说明作者对心理学持怀疑的态度,故B项错误;根据第二段中的and which no words can describe可排除C项;通过第二段中的How could I help him?以及“有些问题心理学也无法给出答案”可知,作者并不确信自己能解决戴维的问题,故排除D项。
小题3:解析:选B。推理判断题。根据第五段中的Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with...可知,他喜欢和作者下棋,或许是因为他需要一个人来分担他的痛苦,故B项正确。文章并未提到戴维想向作者征求建议,相反,他开始时拒绝跟作者交流,故排除A项;文中并未提及他喜欢这些画,只说他在看这些画,排除C项;由第三段中...I made sure David won once or twice.可知D项错误。
小题4:解析:选A。推理判断题。由第五、六、七段可知,与作者沉默地待了几个月之后,戴维开口跟作者说话了,之后,他的生活逐渐恢复了正常,故A项正确。他现在经常和朋友们骑车,但无法得知失去家人前就喜欢,故排除B项;上大学还只是他的一个计划,故排除C项;他是在认识作者之后交到了学校的朋友,故D项错误。
小题5:解析:选D。推理判断题。结合故事内容以及最后一段可知,是作者和他无声的交流帮助戴维恢复了正常。他的老师只起到了介绍的作用,故排除A项;作者之前和戴维并不存在友谊,故排除B项;在戴维恢复正常之后,双方才开始通信,故排除C项。

举一反三
“Storm at Sea”,a short poem written around 700,is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
When the wind is from the west
All the waves that cannot rest
To the east must thunder on
Where the bright tree of the sun
Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.
As the poem suggests,the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves,impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering,boiling,crashing,and whistling.
It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath-perhaps not so noticeably out in midocean,but where it meets land,its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences,too:unimaginable quantities of creatures,little and large alike,mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony,giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat,a kind of subocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities:sometimes peaceful and pleasant,on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
小题1:Unlike real inland seas,the Atlantic Ocean is________.
A.always energetic |
B.lacking in liveliness |
C.shaped like a square |
D.favored by ancient poets |
A.To describe the movement of the waves. |
B.To show the strength of the storm. |
C.To represent the power of the ocean. |
D.To prove the vastness of the sea. |
A.Living together. |
B.Growing fast. |
C.Moving harmoniously. |
D.Breathing peacefully. |
A.a beautiful and poetic place |
B.a flesh and blood person |
C.a wonderful world |
D.a lovely animal |
Sparrow failed to grow for another two years,until a new CEO,Carl Pearson,decided to build up its market share.He did a survey,which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain,while customers of other fastfood chains were unwilling to turn away from them.Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand.The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants.Pearson resisted,arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success,rather than customers’ spending power.Finally,the owner accepted his idea.
The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fastfood industry.The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars.Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product,the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example,he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额).
These efforts paid off,and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fastfood chains in the regions where it operated.
小题1:Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
A.The number of its customers was declining. |
B.Its customers found the food unhealthy. |
C.It was in need of financial support. |
D.Most of its restaurants were closed. |
A.Customers of Sparrow restaurants. |
B.Sparrow restaurants. |
C.Customers of other fastfood chains. |
D.Other fastfood chains. |
A.To build a good relationship with the public. |
B.To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow. |
C.To learn about customers’spending power. |
D.To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants. |
A.changed people’s views on pop stars |
B.amused the public with original songs |
C.focused on the superiority of its products |
D.influenced the eating habits of the audience |
A.He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts. |
B.He made Sparrow much more competitive. |
C.He helped Sparrow take over a company. |
D.He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees. |
What made it even more special was that it was about the only thing that wasn’t being “replaced”.We’d been burnt out in fires that swept through our area earlier that year and had lost everything—so most of the “new” stuff (东西) we got was really just to replace what we’d lost.But not my ring.My ring was new.
Then,only one month later,I lost it.I took it off before bed and it was missing in the morning.I was sad and searched everywhere for it.But it seemed to have disappeared.Eventually,I gave up and stopped looking for it.And two years later,we sold the house and moved away.
Years passed,and a couple of moves later,I was visiting my parents’ when Mum told me that she had something for me.It wasn’t my birthday,nor was it Easter or Christmas or any other giftgiving occasion.Mum noticed my questioning look.“You’ll recognize this one,”she said,smiling.
Then she handed me a small ring box.I took it from her and opened it to find my beautiful signet ring inside.
The family who had bought our house 13 years earlier had recently decided to do some redecorations,which included replacing the carpets.When they pulled the carpet up in my old bedroom,they found the ring.As it had my initials carved into it,they realized who owned the ring.They’d had it professionally cleaned up by a jeweler before sending it to my mother.
And it still fits me.

Perri notes with amazement how closely her own life has mirrored her mother’s:both have fulltime careers;both have published books,articles,and stories;each has three children;they both love to read.They also love to travel-in fact,they often take trips together.But in truth,the harder they look at their lives,the more they acknowledge their big differences in circumstance and basic nature.
A child of the Depression (大萧条),Sheila was raised in Brooklyn by parents who considered education a luxury for girls.Starting with her college education,she has fought for everything she’s ever accomplished.Perri,on the other hand,grew up privileged in the New Jersey suburbs of the 1960s and 1970s.For Sheila,wasting time or money is a crime,and luxury is unthinkable while Perri enjoys the occasional small luxury,but has not been successful at trying to persuade her mother into enjoying even the tiniest thing she likes.
Each writing in her own unmistakable voice,Perri and Sheila take turns exploring the joys and pains,the love and bitterness,the minor troubles and lasting respect that have always bonded them together.Sheila describes the adventure of giving birth to Perri in a tiny town in Trinidad where her husband was doing research fieldwork.Perri admits that she can’t sort out all the mess in the households,even though she knows it drives her mother crazy.Together they compare thoughts on bringing up children and working,admit longhidden sorrows,and enjoy precious memories.
Looking deep into the lives they have lived separately and together,Perri and Sheila tell their motherdaughter story with honesty,humor,enthusiasm,and admiration for each other.A written account in two voices,Every Mother Is a Daughter is a duet (二重奏) that produces a deep,strong sound with the experiences that all mothers and daughters will recognize.

Two 12yearold boys,Christian and Jack,rowed out a boat to search for a football.Once they’d rowed beyond the calm waters,a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into open water.The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore.But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control.
Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves.
“Everything went quiet in my head,”Tim recalls(回忆).“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.”
Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water.Every 500 yards or so,he raised his head to judge his progress.“At one point,I considered turning back,” he says.“I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.”After 30 minutes of struggling,he was close enough to yell to the boys,“Take down the umbrella!”
Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella.Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat.He took over rowing,but the waves were almost too strong for him.
“Let’s aim for the pier(码头),”Jack said.Tim turned the boat toward it.Soon afterward,waves crashed over the boat,and it began to sink.“Can you guys swim?”he cried.“A little bit,”the boys said.
Once they were in the water,Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier.Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs.Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys’faces.
“Are we almost there?”they asked again and again.“Yes,”Tim told them each time.
After 30 minutes,they reached the pier.
