题型:不详难度:来源:
The young couple had another quarrel. They were sitting silently when the landlady(女房东) came in and asked, “You don’t   36  the house any more?” He kept silent and she   37  shook her head.
The landlady began   38  the house. After looking around, the landlady screamed, “See how you have   39  my house? The walls are full of nails(铁钉)! How could I rent it to others?”
She began looking around her   40  room. Four years ago on the wedding night, he felt deeply   41  to her, saying, “I feel so sorry to you for   42  you live in this small room. In the future I will buy our own big house.”
This tiny room has two nails on the wall next to the door, one for her bag and the other   43  . At that time, she threw all her stuff(填充物)such as her bag and umbrella on the   44  once she entered the room, staring at the whole   45  and feeling terribly upset. Then he began   46  more nails into the wall. There were three nails on the left, on which   47  his clothes yesterday and four on the right used to   48  their wedding photo frame.
The landlady started to pull the nails out with a tool. After the nails were   49 , the walls were left with countless holes. Suddenly, she felt heartbroken as if she were   50  nonstop through these holes.
  She   51  to her feet and exclaimed, “Stop removing the nails! We will rent the house   52  we buy our own!” He gazed at her surprised, and then turned round, tears over his cheek.
She   53  realized that marriage was like a wall and that all   54  and “cold wars” were like the nails on the wall.  55  , when they were removed, only a wall with holes would remain. But if all the nails were still in their own places, the wall was still complete and reliable.

举一反三
Four Simple Keys to Transform Your Life
The Power of Choice.Every one of us makes countless choices every day.Every choice we make has an impact on our lives.Even insignificant choices can affect what we experience and how we feel.When hunger strikes, we can reach for a healthy, nutritious snack, or we can choose the sugar high of junk food.The more important the decision, the greater its effect.For instance, how do I act towards that person who treated me badly? Do I generally choose to be passive, or do I actively set clear intentions and create what I want in my life? Every choice we make, however big or small, affects us in some way.
How Do You Make Choices? If you are interested in living a richer, fuller life, there is a foundation upon which you can base all of your decisions which can make life better not only for you, but also for those around you.This foundation is to choose based on what"s best for all.Imagine a world where every parent, spouse(配偶), friend, teacher, business person, and politician truly did their best to choose what"s best for all involved in every decision they made. We would certainly live in a more caring, supportive world.
It"s the Intention."But how do I know what is really best?" you might ask.The answer is simple.It doesn"t matter.What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention beind your choice.What matters is that whatever decision you make, you are clear in your intention of choosing based on what"s best for all.If it later turns out that you made what appears to have been a bad choice, there"s no need for guilt.Knowing that you did your best to choose with a sincere desire for what"s best for all, your conscience stays clear and open.This then allows you to more easily learn from your mistakes, and to live with a clear heart and mind.
What"s Best for Me, Too! Choosing what"s best does not mean you have to always sacrifice yourself for others.An overly(过度的) exhausted mother can lose her temper easily.Some time off for this mother might seem selfish, yet in the long run, it can help her to be a better mother to her children.So as we move through each day of our lives, let us remember to include ourselves as we do our best to choose what"s best for all.
小题1:Which of the following is FALSE?
A.Whenever hunger strikes, we will reach for a junk snack
B.Every choice, however big or small, has an influence on us.
C.Even small choices affect how we feel..
D.We make choices every day.
小题2:How should we make choices?
A.To be interested in a richer, fuller life.
B.To make life better for ourselves.
C.To imagine a world where everyone did their best.
D.To choose based on what"s best for all.
小题3:Why does the author say, "What matters is not the choice you make, but rather the intention behind your choice."?
A.Because the choice you make is not important.
B.Because you may have made a bad choice.
C.Because this allows you to stay clear and improve.
D.Because there is no need for guilt.
小题4:How to choose what is best for us?
A.We need to devote all our life to others.
B.We need to put away some time for ourselves.
C.We need to sacrifice ourselves for others.
D.We need to be selfless every minute.

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt?Or is it the look on the recipient"s face when they receive it that determines the true value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, a lone dandelion (蒲公英) standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe;my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both poems passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate. Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he unwrapped those black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.

Recently, one of my best friends, whom I’d shared just about everything with since the first day of kindergarten, spent the weekend with me. Since I moved to a new town several years ago, we’d both always looked forward to the few times a year when we could see each other.
Over the weekend, we spent hours and hours, staying up late into the night, talking about the people she was hanging around with. She started telling me stories about her new boyfriend, about how she experimented with drugs and was into other bad habits. I was blown away! She told me how she had been lying to her parents because they didn’t want her around him.
I tried to convince her that she was ruining her future and heading for big trouble. But she didn’t believe me. Her self-respect seemed to have disappeared. I just couldn’t believe that she really thought it was acceptable to hang out with such a loser.
By the time she left, I was really worried about her. It had been so discouraging, and I had come close to telling her several times during the weekend that maybe we had just grown too far apart to continue our friendship—but I didn’t. I put the power of friendship to the ultimate(最终的)test. We’d been friends for far too long. I had to hope that she valued me enough to know that I was trying to save her from hurting herself. I wanted to believe that our friendship could conquer (克服)anything.
A few days later, she called to say that she had thought long and hard about our conversation,and then she told me that she had broken up with her boyfriend.I just listened on the other end of the phone with tears of joy running down my face. It was one of the truly rewarding moments in my life.
Never had I been so proud of a friend.

D.kept in touch with the girl.
小题2:It can be inferred that the girl       .
A.knew she was in danger.B.took the author seriously.

小题3:What’s the author’s purpose in telling the story?

Paula Radcliffe, chasing (角逐) a third London marathon title (马拉松冠军), says she has become a stronger person after her terrible experience at the 2004 Athens Games.
Radcliffe, who failed to complete the Olympic marathon and the 10,000m last August, said: “Athens made me a stronger person and it made me care less about criticism.”
“In the past I wanted to please everyone, but now I am going to listen even more to the people around me.”
She didn’t care about criticism made at the weekend by Liz McColgan, who felt Radcliffe should have rested and let her body recover after her failure in Athens.
“Liz is someone I look up to but she hasn’t spoken to me since last year and if she really cared for me, I"m sure she would have contacted me.”
Instead Radcliffe won the New York City marathon just 11 weeks after Athens.
“In New York I wasn’t in my best state but I did know I was good enough to win the race.”      Radcliffe insisted her only goal in Sunday’s race would be winning a third title and not chasing world records.
However, Radcliffe has not ruled out (排除) in the future chasing her "final" world record time and questioned sayings that marathon runners have the ability in their career to produce only four or five world-class times.
“I don"t think that—although I can"t put a number on it,” said Radcliffe. “That changes from person to person.”
Radcliffe is sure she can better her winning London 2003 performance at some point in the future. Following a successful three-month training period in the United States, the 31-year-old will chase a third title on Sunday after her first victory in 2002 and again 12 months later.
Radcliffe clocked a time of 2:18:56 in her first 42.2-kilometer race three years ago.
Afterwards she set a "mixed course" mark of 2:17:18 five months later in Chicago before lowering that to a time of 2:15:25 in the 2003 London event.
小题1:Radcliffe’s failure in Athens made her       .
A.develop respect for Liz.B.love people around her more.
C.rest for five months.D.face criticism calmly.
小题2:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A.Radcliffe broke the world record in the New York City marathon.
B.Radcliffe didn"t fully recover before the New York City marathon.
C.Radcliffe won her first marathon title in the New York City marathon.
D.Radcliffe had a 3-month training before the New York City marathon.
小题3:By saying “I can"t put a number on it,” Radcliffe means she’s not sure        .
A.if she has the ability to set a new world record.
B.if she can win another race though she has won many times.
C.how many times a marathon runner can set the world record.
D.if she has the ability to produce four or five world-class times.
小题4:What can we learn from Radcliffe"s story?
A.Practice makes perfect.B.Well begun is half done.
C.A friend in need is a friend indeed.D.Where there is a will there is a way.
