题型:不详难度:来源:
As I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.
Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart. 
It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.

Homeboy Goes to Harvard University
On January 11, 2007, as students sat and listened, a very important guest speaker named Richard, spoke to the students in the lecture hall. He not only showed the potential(潜能)within young adults, but  encouraged them to work hard at their lessons.
Richard was a young child when his mother died and his father walked out. He was forced into many different foster homes(寄养家庭)where he felt unhappy. He did not know that his life was taking a turn for the worst.
His uncle, after getting out of prison, got him into drugs and alcohol. His uncle taught him that his place in life was either to be in prison or die trying to be “a man.” His uncle’s teaching almost started affecting him until a very important person came into his life: a teacher. This teacher taught him there is a place in the world for everyone and it isn’t related to drugs.
Richard is now a Harvard University graduate and has a great and loving family. Why? He was taught to have respect not only for others, but for himself.
After the meeting, it was hoped that the students realized within them there is a potential, and within everyone around them, is knowledge. As Richard reminded them, “Knowledge is power.”

About fifty years ago, when television first came out, people thought that radio was no longer useful. Television has both sounds and images(影像). It is much more real and interesting to watch television than to listen to the radio.
However, fifty years later radio is still very popular and it will be here for a long time. One reason is that we don’t need to see an image when we listen to the music on the radio. In fact, listening with your eyes closed is the best way to listen to a piece of music. You can imagine yourself on a sandy beach or up high on a mountain. In other words, you can create your own images. Moreover, while listening to the radio, you don’t have to take your eyes off your work. For example, you can listen to the radio and drive at the same time. Or you can read a book and listen to the radio. Television, on the other hand, doesn’t have this advantage.
A radio is much smaller than a television. You can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime you want. In a quiet place you can use headphones to listen to the news or music on the radio. In this way you won’t disturb anybody.
Moreover, a radio is much cheaper than a television. For less than $ 20 you can buy a small radio and have fun with it.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Music.B.Radio.C.Sound.D.Television.
小题2:People like to watch TV because _______.
A.it has headphones to listen to the news
B.they can drive while watching TV
C.it has both sounds and images
D.they can watch with their ears
小题3:We learn from the passage that _______.
A.people can take a radio anywhere and turn it on anytime
B.television came out 50 years ago and it is useless now
C.a radio is more expensive than a television
D.people can use headphones to read books

After continuing to   8  myself, I knew it was time to step my training up. I   9  I would train for the Detroit Free Press/Flagstar Marathon.

I was painfully shy as a child. In high school I would avoid participating in class discussions. I was too afraid to talk to anyone but my closest friends~ I would think about being less shy, wanting the courage not only to ask a girl out, but to speak up in class and say what I was thinking. Yet, it never happened. Fears showed themselves in such self-conscious questions as, " What will other people think?  What if she says no?" I felt a dark presence in my mind holding me back.
This shyness continued into college. One day, the question occurred to me: Is life shy?
The thought surprised me ! Think of the leaves bursting out in the spring time, the bird singing at dawn, the sheer number of different forms of life, all expressing the wideness and scope of divine life. There"s nothing shy about it. Life is everywhere and attention-grabbing (引人注意的). So, if my creator isn"t shy about all the life that needs expressing, I don"t need to be either.
I realized that if I wanted to overcome fear and shyness, I would have to put this law of life into practice~ Shyness, fear, and loneliness were hindering me from living my life as life: God wanted me to live it. Therefore, I decided to live how life saw me.
One example: I wrote a note to a girl, asking her out on a date. Even as I was writing it, the fears of disaffirmation and unworthiness came to me. This time however, instead of shrinking back and hiding from the fear, I put the note in the campus mail in spite of myself. I thought: whether she says yes or no, it"s still right for me not to be shy. I can live with the confidence sent from the source of my life. The girl saw me in class the next day and told me that she would love to go out with me. I should not have been so surprised!
Bit by bit, I was proving that the limited view of myself no longer had control over me.  After college, I worked as a newspaper reporter, earned an advanced degree in theater, became a productive writer (a lifelong dream), met a special woman whom I married, and even got a job teaching at a university.
小题1:The writer was shy as a child because of______.
A.awareness that life is shy
B.lack of courage to speak out in public
C.fear of others" attitude and reaction
D.failure in his participation in class discussion
小题2:"The law" in Paragraph 4 refers to the fact that______.
A.life is attention-grabbing and divine
B.God treats everything and everyone fairly
C.everything in nature is in the favour of God
D.the creator of life which needs expressing isn"t shy
小题3:It can be learnt from Paragraph 5 that the writer______.
A.didn"t hesitate before sending the note
B.wouldn"t regret sending the note despite the result
C.was not surprised when the girl agreed to go out
D.believed in God and felt encouraged by the wideness of life
小题4:The underlined word "disaffirmation" in Paragraph 5 probably means______.
A.rejectionB.laughterC.regretD.horror
小题5:The purpose of writing the text is to______.
A.blame those who are shy and unconfident
B.persuade people to have confidence in their career
C.share the personal experience with the readers
D.prove that the overcome of shyness helps achieve success

Over the years I"ve been teaching children about a simple but powerful concept -- the ant philosophy (哲学).I think everybody should study ants.
They have an amazing four-part philosophy, and here is the first part: ants never quit. That"s a good philosophy. If they"re headed somewhere and you try to stop them; they"ll look for another way.
They"ll climb over, they"ll climb under, and they"ll climb around. They keep looking for another way. What a neat philosophy, to never quit looking for a way to get where you"re supposed to go.
Second, ants think winter all summer. That"s an important viewpoint. You can"t be so naive ( 天真的) as to think summer will last forever. So ants are gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer.
An ancient story says, "Don"t build your house on the sand in the summer. " Why do we need that advice."? Because it is important to be realistic. In the summer, you"ve got to think storm. You"ve got to think rocks as you enjoy the sand and sun. Think ahead.
The third part of the ant philosophy is that ants think summer all winter. That is so important. During the winter, ants remind themselves, "This won"t last long ; we"ll soon be out of here. " And on the first warm day, the ants are out. If it turns cold again, they"ll dive back down, but then they come out on the first warm day. They can"t wait to get out.
And here"s the last part of the ant-philosophy. How much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter? All he possibly can. What an incredible philosophy, the "all-you-possibly-can" philosophy.
Wow, what a great seminar to attend -- the ant seminar. Never give up, look ahead, stay positive and do all you can.
小题1:If you try to stop ants going forward, they will
A.climb over your headB.quit looking for a way
C.search for another wayD.keep climbing around
小题2:What is the second philosophy of ants?
A.Think winter all summer.B.Always be realistic.
C.Never become lazy in summer.D.Always look ahead.
小题3:Which of the following can best describe the third part of the ant philosophy?
A.Always stay positive.B.Always remind yourself.
C.Always think summer.D.Always be hardworking.
小题4:We can learn from the last part of the ant philosophy that we should
A.never stop gathering food in the summerB.always get prepared for the winter
C.gather as much as possible for the futureD.do whatever we can for the future
小题5:Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A.The Concept of AntsB.The Ant Philosophy
C.Never Give upD.Do All You Can
