While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening. The overhead light outside my door was burned out and I had       finding the keyhole. When I       to open the door, I       around the wall for a light switch. I found a plate where a switch was       installed... but no switch! 
Not discouraged easily, I remembered       a lamp by the bed when I deposited my luggage      in the day. I found the bed in the       and then the lamp, but when I switched it on, nothing     ! I thought that perhaps if I opened the curtains I might be able to use whatever light comes in from the       to find another lamp. So I  my way slowly across the room to the curtains and... no drawstring(拉绳)! I finally stumbled(跌跌撞撞地走)around        I found a desk lamp which actually     !
That evening I discovered in a whole new way just how dark the world       be and how   necessary light is! But even more necessary than       light is the light that shines from people --the light of       and faith. Because, for many people, the world is a dark and       place. For someone today just may be stumbling in discouragement or sadness or fear and in        of some light. So let your light shine. Whatever light you       may be a beacon(灯塔) of hope and encouragement. And if you feel that your light is       a candle in a forest remember -- there isn’t enough darkness in all the world to       the light of one small candle.

核心考点
试题【While attending a conference, I returned to my hotel room late one evening. The 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
When I was a kid, my Mom liked to make breakfast food for dinner every now and then. And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at hospital.
On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don"t remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him spread butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!
 When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I"ll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast."
Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He took me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she"s really tired. And besides – a little burned toast never hurt anyone!"
You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. This good quality is the base of any relationship --- husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! As far as I’m concerned, I’m not the best engineer as expected. However, I have made my efforts. That’s enough.
So learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life. Burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker! Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket but into your own.
小题1:When his mother put the burnt biscuit on the table, the author _____.
A.wanted to see how his father reacted
B.pretended not to notice it
C.pretended to enjoy the burnt food
D.stopped his father eating the burnt toast
小题2:We can infer from the passage that the author’s mother       .
A.She was not good at cooking.
B.She hardly had time to cook at home.
C.She felt sorry for the burnt food.
D.She spent more time on breakfast than dinner.
小题3:How did the author feel when his father said he loved burnt toast?
A.Moved.B.PuzzledC.Surprised.D.Disappointed.
小题4:According to the text, to get a happy life, one should______ .
A.give help to people in needB.try to be a perfect person
C.learn from one’s mistakesD.learn to be understanding

A person, like a commodity(商品), needs packaging. But going too far is absolutely undesirable. A little exaggeration(夸张) will do no harm when it shows the person’s unique qualities to their advantages. To show personal attractiveness in a casual and natural way, it is important for one to have a clear knowledge of oneself. A skilled packager knows how to add art to nature without any signs of embellishment so that the person so packaged is not a commodity, but a human being, lively and lovely.
A young person, especially a female, shining with beauty and full of life, has all the favor granted. Youth however, comes and goes in a flash. Packaging for the middle-aged is primarily to hide the marks made by years. If you still enjoy life enough to keep self-confidence and work at pioneering work, you are unique in your natural qualities, and your attractiveness and grace will remain. Elderly people are beautiful if their river of life has been, through plains, mountains and jungles, running its course as it should. You have really lived your life, which now arrives at a self - satisfied stage of quietness and calmness with no interest in fame or wealth. There is no need to make use of hair dyeing. The snow-capped mountain itself is a beautiful scene of fairyland. Let your looks change from young to old in step with the natural ageing process so as to keep in harmony with nature, for harmony itself is beauty, while the other way round will only end in unpleasantness. To be in the company of the elderly is like reading a thick book of good edition, which attracts one so much that one is unwilling to part with it. As long as one finds where one stands, one knows how to package oneself, just as a commodity sets up its brand by the right packaging.
小题1:The underlined word in the first paragraph is closest to the word ______ in meaning.
A.decorationB.clarificationC.movementD.identification
小题2:It can be concluded from the text that ______.
A.people should be packaged at all ages
B.people should be packaged in a special way
C.elderly people also care about packaging
D.proper packaging makes people attractive
小题3:For the middle-aged, attractiveness ______ .
A.hardly existsB.is the strongest
C.comes from the insideD.comes from the appearance
小题4:According to the author, if you want to keep in harmony with nature, you should ______.[源
A.dye your hairB.make up at a young age
C.follow the ageing processD.give up fame and wealth
小题5:The underlined sentence means that elderly people ______.
A.are usually packaged like a finely-made book
B.experience a lot and have rich knowledge of life
C.do a lot of traveling and can give you much information
D.enjoy reading thick books about beautiful nature and fairyland

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy,        becomes unhappy. This        from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy        their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the        things. They are,       , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and        themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up        by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown        its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are        its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and        them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious        in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most        politeness and respect. This        puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining        advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step        speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will        or excuse them, and many        join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,        worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not,        will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,        when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

Dear David,
I’m glad you would like to share your feelings with me.It’s hardly surprising that your feelings of not being “grown up” have come on strongly at this point in your life, just before you’re about to become a father.You are asking: Will I make a good father? How will I cope? I think nearly every man must have the occasional feelings of self-doubt and inadequacy before the birth.
It’s difficult, honestly, to feel grown-up unless you have something less grown-up to relate to.The boss with a hen-pecking wife may feel like a seven-year-old when he’s at home.But as he walks through the office door, and knows he’s going to be surrounded by staff for advice, he grows into a fully mature man.And I think it’s a mistake to imagine that we all feel, as we age, a kind of progress of states, from the baby to the adult.Most people feel, on Tuesday, about three years old, and on a Wednesday, around 80.
There’s a common remark that“all men are little boys”, but it’s not true.It’s more true that men often behave like little boys.But nearly all people, at some moments in their lives, are able to be greatly mature..Once your baby arrives, you’ll soon feel less childlike.When your child tries to put its fingers into the electric plug, the adult in you will rise up to prevent it.
Comfort yourself, David, with two truths.One is that your friends laugh when they talk about this subject because they, like you, feel frightened.And remember that people who haven’t grown up don’t go around talking about the fact.
Good luck to you and your little one.
Sincerely Yours,
Miss Advice
小题1:According to the passage, Miss Advice thinks David’s self-doubt ________.
A.valuable B.unusualC.naturalD.bearable
小题2:From Paragraph 2, we can learn that people’s sense of maturity ________.
A.will increase with age
B.is obviously seen at home
C.changes with different situations
D.becomes stronger with familiar people
小题3:Miss Advice holds that ________.
A.all men behave like little boys
B.people tend to laugh at the subject
C.men with a baby feel more grown-up
D.people enjoy talking about their immaturity
小题4:Miss Advice wrote the letter to ________.
A.offer suggestions to a future father
B.teach people how to grow up

D.solve problems of the less grown-up D

People say, you can not change the environment, but can change their own; you can not change the facts, but can change attitudes; you can not change the past, but can be changed now; you can not control other people, but can be masters of our own; you can not do everything well, but can be conscientious in everything; you can not about the weather, but you can change the mood; you can not choose looks, but it can show a smile.
Indeed, one key to the success lies in his (her) mind. The difference between successful people and the losers are: winners will be setbacks and difficulties due to personal ability, experience, imperfect, to emphasize the inherent, they are willing to continuously improve and develop the right direction; and the losers will blame on the opportunity, and the environment injustice, emphasizing external and uncontrollable factors that created the position of their life, they always complain, wait and give up!
In many cases, is a humble person who is looked down upon his own. Person"s appearance, his family, and so a priori condition that can not be changed, but at least inner state, the spirit of the will is entirely their own control. Mentality, the final decision of life high. There is no absolute bad thing, only the mentality of the absolute poor people. If even the state of mind will not adjust, how they deal with things more complicated than the mentality of it!
No matter what the situation, a person"s attitude is very important. Passion put to work, and numbness sluggish to work completely different. Emerson said: "A move toward their goals is always people who gave him the whole world to give way." On the contrary, failure is not because we do not have the strength, but because we are susceptible to all around us, used to go along with the lack of assertive, attitude unstable, easily frustrated reason.
As long as we believe that the strength of mind, change their attitude and courage to face a number of disappointments in life, do not despair, brave go on. I believe the power of mind, mind you"re in the height of the final decision.
小题1:The underlined word “humble” in Paragraph 3 probably means _____.
A.ignobleB.optimistic
C.luckyD.stubborn
小题2: Where can you probably find the text?
A.In a popular magazineB.In a tourist guidebook
