举一反三
Of course he isn’t really dead. With any luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains, who crash cars or even catch fire, are professionals. They do this for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks.
They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. For example, they fall from a high building. However, they do not fall onto hard ground but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. Again, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar!
But although their work depends on tricks of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, when he is “ blown up” in a battle scene, he has to jump out of the way of the explosion just at the right moment.
Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They sometimes get seriously injured, and even killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute (降落伞 ) failed to open and he was killed.
In spite of all the risks, this is no longer a profession for men only. Men no longer dress up as women to perform some dangerous actions. For nowadays there are stunt girls , too.
小题1:What can be inferred from the author’s example of the Norwegian stuntman?
A.Sometimes an accident can happen to a stuntman. |
B.The percentage of serious accidents is high. |
C.Parachutes must be of good quality. |
D.The cliff was too high. |
A.often dress up as actors. |
B.like to lead dangerous lives. |
C.often perform seemingly dangerous actions. |
D.often fight each other for their lives. |
A.he needs little protection. | B.he will be covered with a mattress. |
C.his life is in danger. | D.his safety is generally all right. |
A.Strength | B.Speed | C.Exactness | D.Carefulness |
No matter how unfair the situation, it"s best to phrase your complaint politely. In English, you"ll sound more polite if you use indirect language. Here are some examples:
“I"m sorry to bother you...” Starting a complaint like this puts the listener who may have heard many complaints that day at ease. Use this phrase if the situation isn"t that serious. For example, "I"m sorry to bother you, but I wanted a baked potato, not fries."
“Can you help me with this?” Everyone would much rather be asked to do something than told! So try phrasing your complaint as a request for help: "Can you help me with this? My shirt came back from the laundry without buttons."
“I"m afraid there may be a misunderstanding.” This is a polite way of saying, "Your information is wrong. Please fix it now." You"ll most likely use this phrase if you made reservations(预定) for a flight, hotel or restaurant, and when you arrive, it"s not what you expected. For example, "I"m afraid there may be a misunderstanding. I requested a non-smoking room."
“I understand it"s not your fault...” Often when you make a complaint, you deal with a person who was not directly responsible for the problem. But the problem isn"t your fault, either! This phrase is helpful when you need swift action. Tell the person you"re dealing with you understand they"re not at fault and then directly state the problem: "I understand it"s not your fault, but the airline promised they would deliver my baggage yesterday."
“Excuse me, but I understood that...” Using this phrase lets the person know you"re well-informed and are suspicious they might be trying to take advantage of you. Don"t say, "Hey! You"re trying to cheat me!" Instead, start indirectly by stating what you know to be true: "I understood that the taxi ride to the airport was only 25 dollars." Then give them an opportunity to do the right thing.

A.“Can you help me with this?” |
B.“I understand it’s not your fault.” |
C.“Hey! You’re trying to cheat me!” |
D.“I’m afraid there may be a misunderstanding.” |
“I am shocked that I can draw so much attention. I"m really moved and happy that people like my performance of Whitney"s song,” said Lin, who works part-time at a musical instrument shop. “I"ve loved singing since I was a little boy and I feel like I am living my dream now. I hope I can pursue(追求) a career in singing,” he told reporters.
Reporters called him “China’s Susan Boyle”, describing him as “plain-looking and short”, but Lin, who has the nickname “Little Fatty”, told reporters the comparison made him proud. “I am honoured to be compared to Susan Boyle. I am inspired and encouraged by her because she proved that even a person who"s seen as an underdog(弱者) and who has ordinary looks can shine on the stage,” Lin said.
Since his performance was posted on Youtube late last week, he has been the subject of heated conversation in on-line chat rooms on American Yahoo! and other foreign websites. “Lin really is amazing. Whitney couldn’t do it any better today, ” a viewer wrote on YouTube.

each day with love and gratitude (感激). When you get up in the morning, think of what a great luck it is to be —to see, to hear, to love, to have something to look forward to. Happiness is simply the feeling of appreciating others. Realize that it’s not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy. Don’t have pressure on each new morning. yourself from the things that you didn’t yesterday and made you down. Let yesterday go. Every morning is the start of a new day with new . Be willing to be a beginner every single morning.

For Jane Black, a six-year friendship ended when her friend was rude to one of her children. “After quite a few drinks at a party in my house, she said something rude to my child. I ended the friendship face to face at the party,” she says. “I didn’t realize what I was doing at the time, I was simply standing up for my child, but in her eyes any challenge was a betrayal.”
When Angela Thompson noticed a seven-year friendship disappearing, she let it go. “I didn’t know how to deal with the issue. I didn’t sit down for a grown-up conversation; I just walked away quietly.” The decision caused a reaction among Thompson’s other friends. “The other friends in the circle are the worst people when you are trying to break up with a friend,” she says. “They don’t want you to stop being friends, because it puts them in a difficult position. You get told to just get it over.”
Though we have plenty of measures for handling conflict at work or family fight, we still don’t have good ways of ending friendships. Do we sit down and properly break up, or just walk away? Psychologist Serena Cauchy has the following advice.
Don’t blame.
Talk about your needs and feeling rather than talking like a Dutch uncle.
Do talk about your needs.
Talk about why the friendship is not working for you—about how your needs aren’t being met.
Don’t gossip.
Negative talk hurts everyone involved and in some cases can make matters worse.
Don’t be so accessible.
If there is a common wish to conclude the friendship, then you can remove it.
小题1:How did Angela Thompson deal with her friendship when it went wrong?
A.She ended it face to face. |
B.She left it as it was. |
C.She turned to her friends for advice. |
D.She made a direct challenge. |
A.will help you to fix a broken friendship |
B.will choose either of the sides who broke up |
C.will ask you to forgive each other |
D.will be the worst people to break up with you at the same time |
A.End the friendship if it can’t be renewed. |
B.Don’t complain behind one’s back. |
C.Express what you want and expect. |
D.Sincerely talk about friends’ shortcomings. |
A.A True Friendship | B.When Friendships disappear |
C.How Friendships Last | D.Ways to Fix Friendships |
