Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.
| A．doesn’t need improving | B．couldn’t be improved |
| C．will be better some day | D．will be worse in the future |
| A．Positive | B．Passive | C．Colorful | D．Disturbing |
| A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging. |
| B．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts. |
| C．You can only achieve success when God wills it. |
| D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends. |
| A．positive thinking | B．positive action |
| C．hope for the best | D．intention to succeed |
| A．understand yourself | B．improve your life |
| C．believe in yourself | D．change your normal way |
答案
小题2:B
小题3:B
小题4:B
小题5:B
解析
小题1:C 注意，题目要求是“根据那个妇女的想法”，第三段提到的那个妇女认为，为了提高生活水平，她已经做了一切努力，现在只需要按部就班地生活，好生活自然会来。这是一劳永逸的想法，是被动的，也是作者批判的一种生活态度，与文章主题正好相反。从“has done everything she can to improve it”排除A/B，D项与妇女的愿望相反，故也排除。
小题2:B 从第四段“She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.”看出，作者反对妇女的生活态度，她并没有为实现理想而行动起来，故选B passive（被动的）。
小题3:B 第五段提到“If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation,…”遇到问题，不能只把它当成挫折，而应该行动起来，吸取教训解决问题。第六段提到“It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best.”愿望再好，不行动起来是不行的。A项与行动无关；第五段说到“Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it.”，与B项意思相符；C项是消极的观点，不符合题意；D项与文章无关。
小题4:B 第五段“It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
”，有积极的想法还不够，还必须积极地行动起来。作者强调的是“积极行动”的重要性。
小题5:B 写作意图题。作者围绕提高生活阐述了积极行动的重要性和必要性，同时批判了消极、不思进取和满足现状等负面的思想。从作者的观点出发来思考，他是在建议读者积极行动，从而是生活能真正地有所改变。故选B。A/C(理解自己/自信)与文章无关；D项（改变常态）太绝对化，想提高生活，不一定意味着改变所有的现状。

举一反三
I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
小题1:Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？
| A．Because gas was hardly available. | B．Because the writer was short of money. |
| C．Because the writer didn’t like driving. | D．Because the road was difficult to drive on. |
| A．thought about | B．tried on |
| C．depended on | D．got through |
| A．the writer loves his/her stepmom very much |
| B．the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much |
| C．the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom |
| D．the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop |
| A．Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special. |
| B．Because he wanted to give the writer some money. |
| C．Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially. |
| D．Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake. |

One day, an expert in time-management was speaking to a group of business students. To make the point 1 , he used an illustration.
As he stood in front of the group, he said, “Okay, time for a quiz.” He then pulled out a wide-mouth jar and set it on the table. Then he 2 placed about a dozen fist-sized rocks, one by one, into the jar.
When the jar was filled to the 3 and no more rocks would fit inside, he asked, “Is this jar 4 ?” Everyone in the class said, “Yes.”
“Really?” Then he 5 under the table and pulled out a bucket of gravel（沙砾，石子），dumped some in and 6 the jar, causing pieces of gravel to work themselves down into the space 7 the big rocks. Then he asked the group the same question. “Probably not.” One of them answered. “Good!” he replied.
He reached under the table and 8 a bucket of sand. He started dumping the sand in the jar and it went into all the 9 left between the rocks and the gravel. 10 he asked the question. “No!” the class shouted. “Good!” Then he grabbed a can of water and began to pour it in 11 the jar was filled to the brim.
Then the expert in time-management looked at the class and asked, “What is the 12 of this illustration?” It is such a seemingly easy question that one 13 student raised his hand and said, “It is, however full your schedule is, if you try really hard you can always 14 some more things in it.”
“No,” the speaker replied, “The truth it teaches us is that you will 15 get them in at all if you don’t put the big rocks in first. 16 the big rocks in your life are, do things that you love and 17 for yourself. In your schedule if you value the little stuff then you’ll fill your life with 18 things and you will never have the real quality time you need to spend on the big, important stuff. So, tonight, or in the morning, when you are 19 on this short story, ask yourself what are the ‘big rocks’ in your life? Then put those in your 20 first.”

Suddenly, I heard a 3 open and slam shut at the back of the church. Quick 4 hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a 5 and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears.

That afternoon began a lifelong 18 for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were 19 at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.

Never Save Something Beautiful for That Special Day
Years ago I was talking with a classmate in Sydney. At the time his wife had just passed away not too long ago. He told me while going through her things, he found a silk scarf _1 in a designer store when they had traveled to New York City. The scarf was beautiful, with elegant _2 , and a high price tag still hanging. His wife begrudged wearing it; she was _3 it for a special day.
He _4 at that moment; I didn’t say anything either. After a long pause he said: “Never save something beautiful for that special day. Each _5 day is a special day.”
Whenever I _6 what he had said, I would put down the things I was doing to grab a novel, turn on the music and lie down on the couch to _7 some time for myself. I would appreciate the glorious scenery of the Tanshui River through a French window, _8 the dust gathered on the glass. I would take my wife out to _9 , not thinking what to do with the meal already cooked. Life should be the experience we truly cherish, not days we just have to endure.
One time I shared the above conversation with a lady. When I saw her again, she told me that she no longer _10 the beautiful china in a cabinet. She had thought to save them for a special day, only to discover that it never _11 came. “Future”, “someday” are not contained in her _12 any more. If there are things that are pleasant or make her complacent, she wants to hear or see them now.
We often hope to gather with old friends, but always say, “let’s find a(n) _13 .” We often want to hug our grown children, but always wait for the appropriate moment. We often want to write to our spouses to express our strong affection or to show our deep admiration, but always tell ourselves that there is no need to _14 . In fact, each morning when we open our eyes, we should tell ourselves that this is a special day. Each day, each minute is so incredibly _15 .
