题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
Let’s say you have a piece of wood, a nail, and hammer. Pretend the wood is a person, the nail is a mean rumor (谣言) about that person. If you hammer in the nail, you’re obviously hurting him or her. If you then pull out the nail, there’s still a hole in the wood, and the damage has been done.
There are many reasons why that nail of a rumor can be so harmful. Rumors are, quite simply, a form of bullying (欺悔). When a person or a group makes up a rumor about someone or decides to spread gossip, it’s usually to hurt someone, break up a friendship, or make someone less popular. It’s the same thing as teasing, only it’s done behind someone’s back instead of to his or her face.
When you spread a rumor about someone, you’re sending a signal that the person is outside of the group, and somehow less worthy of friendship than others. You’re making fun of that person or pointing out negative things about him or her. This can let others think that it’s okay to make the person feel bad, and make him or her an outsider.
We need to be able to trust our friends, and gossip and rumors can break this trust. If you tell a personal secret to a friend, and he turns around and tells it to someone else, you might feel like you will get burned if you ever get close to him again.
Letting a rumor influence your behavior is like letting someone else make a big decision for you. Let’s say you hear that the teacher plans to call a Snow Day tomorrow because a blizzard (暴风雪) is coming. Expecting a day off, you don’t do your homework. The next morning, the blizzard turns out to be nothing more than a drizzle(毛毛雨), and school isn’t off after all. You get zeroes on your work.
小题1:The purpose of the first paragraph is to        .
A.help readers know what a rumor isB.attract readers to read the following paragraphs

小题2:To tell a rumor and a tease apart, you depend on        .

小题3: If a rumor is spread about someone, others may        .
A.point out his or her advantagesB.keep away from him or her
C.not feel he or she is an outsiderD.be hurt if getting close to him or her again
小题4:From the last paragraph, we can infer that        .
A.it is hard to keep rumors a secretB.rumors can destroy your interest in learning
C.believing rumors can lead to bad choicesD.rumors can control your whole life

"I"ve changed my mind.I wanted to have a telescope, but now I want my daddy back." Lucien Lawrence"s letter to Father Christmas, written after his schoolteacher father had been knifed to death outside his school gale, must have touched every heart.Lucien went on to say that without his father he couldn"t see the stars in the sky.When those whom we love depart from us, we cannot see the stare for a while.
But Lucien, the stars are still there, and one day, when you are older and your tears have gone, you will see them again.And, in a strange way, I expect that you will find your father is there too, in your mind and in your heart.I find that my parents, long dead now, still figure in many of my dreams and that I think of them perhaps more than 1 ever did when they were alive.I still live to please them and I"m still surprised by their reactions.I remember that when I became a professor,! was so proud, or rather so pleased with myself, that I couldn"t wait to call my parents.The reply was a long time in coming, but when it did, all Mother said was "I hope this means that now you will have more time for the children!" I haven"t forgotten.The values of my parents still live on.
It makes me pause and think about how I will live on in the hearts and minds of my children and of those for whom I care.Would I have been as ready as Philip Lawrence have been to face the aggressors (挑衅者), and to lay down my life for those in my care? How many people would want me back for Christmas"" It"s a serious thought, one to give me pause.
I pray silently, sometimes, in the dead of night, that ancient cry of a poet " Deliver my soul from the sword(剑), and my darling from the power of the dog." Yet I know the death comes to us all,
and sometimes comes suddenly.We must therefore plan to live forever, but live as if we will die
tomorrow.We live on, I"m sure, in the lives of those we loved.and therefore we ought to have a care
for what they will remember and what they will treasure.If more parents knew this in their hearts to
be true, there might be fewer knives on our streets today.
