举一反三
This incident stuck in my mind because it confirmed my growing belief that children are changing. As far as I can remember, my friends and I didn"t find out we were “depressed”, that is, in low spirits, until we were in high school.
Undoubtedly a change in children has increased steadily in recent years. Children don"t seem childlike anymore. Children speak more like adults, dress more like adults and behave more like adults than they used to.
Whether this is good or bad is difficult to say, but it certainly is different. Childhood as it once was no longer exists. Why?
Human development depends not only on born biological states, but also on patterns of gaining social knowledge. Movement from one social role to another usually involves learning the secrets of the new social positions. Children have always been taught adult secrets, but slowly and in stages; traditionally, we tell sixth graders things we keep hidden from fifth graders.
In the last 30 years, however, a secret-revelation(揭示) machine has been equipped in 98 percent of American homes. It is called television. Television passes information to all viewers alike, whether they are children or adults. Unable to resist the temptation (诱惑), many children turn their attention from printed texts to the less challenging, more attractive moving pictures.
Communication through print, as a matter of fact, allows for a great deal of control over the social information which children will gain. Children must read simple books before they can read complex materials.
小题1: According to the author, feeling depressed is ____________.
A.a sure sign of a mental problem in a child |
B.a mental state present in all humans, including children |
C.something that cannot be avoided in children"s mental development |
D.something hardly to be expected in a young child |
A.the widespread influence of television |
B.the poor arrangement of teaching content |
C.the fast pace of human scientific development |
D.the rising standard of living |
A.It enables children to gain more social information. |
B.It develops children"s interest in reading and writing. |
C.It helps children to read and write well. |
D.It can control what children are to learn. |
A.He feels their adult-like behavior is so funny. |
B.He thinks the change worthy of note. |
C.He considers it a rapid development. |
D.He seems to be upset about it. |
Many weight – conscious people also mistakenly believe that changing our bodies will fix everything. Perhaps our worst mistake is believing that being thin equals being loved, being special, and being cherished. We fantasize(梦想)about what it will be like when we reach the long – awaited goal. We work very hard to realize this dream. Then, at last, we find ourselves there.
But we often gain back what we have lost. Even so, we continue to believe that next time it will be different. Next time, we will keep it off. Next time, being thin will finally fulfill its promise of everlasting happiness, self–worth, and, of course, love.
It took me a long while to realize that there was something more for me to learn about beauty. Beauty standards vary with culture. In Samoa a woman is not considered attractive unless she weighs more than 200 pounds. More importantly, if it’s happiness that we want, why not put our energy there rather than on the size of our body? Why not look inside? Many of us work hard to change our body, but in vain. We have to find a way to live comfortable inside our body and make friends with and cherish ourselves. When we change our attitudes toward ourselves, the whole world changes.
小题1:The passage tries to tell us the importance of .
A.body size | B.attitudes |
C.culture difference | D.different beauty standards |
A.All the problems. | B.All the properties |
C.The whole world | D.The absolute truth |
A.The author is a Samoan |
B.The author succeeded in losing weight |
C.The author has been troubled by her/his weight. |
D.The author probably got wounded in wars or accidents. |
A.They feel angry about the regained weight |
B.They are indifferent to the regained weight |
C.They feel optimistic about future plans on weight control. |
D.They think they should give up their future plans on weight control. |
I count England my headquarters now: it is “home” to me. But a few years ago I was resident in Germany, only going over to London now and then on business. I will not mention the town where I lived. It is unnecessary to do so, and in the peculiar experience I am about to relate I think real names of people and places are just as well, or better avoided.
I was connected with a large and important firm of engineers. I had been bred up to the profession, and was credited with a certain amount of “talent”; and I was considered—and, with all modesty, I think I deserved the opinion—steady and reliable, so that I had already attained a fair position in the house, and was looked upon as a “rising man”. But I was still young, and not quite so wise as I thought myself. I came close once to making a great mess of a certain affair. It is this story which I am going to tell.
Our house went in largely for patents—rather too largely, some thought. But the head partner"s son was a bit of a genius in his way, and his father was growing old, and let Herr Wilhelm - Moritz we will call the family name—do pretty much as he chose. And on the whole Herr Wilhelm did well. He was cautious, and he had the benefit of the still greater caution and larger experience of Herr Gerhardt, the second partner in the firm.
Patents and the laws which regulate them are strange things to have to do with. No one who has not had personal experience of the complications that arise could believe how far these spread and how involved they become. Great acuteness as well as caution is called for if you would guide your patent bark safely to port—and perhaps more than anything, a power of holding your tongue. I was no chatterbox, nor, when on a mission of importance, did I go about looking as if I were bursting with secrets, which is, in my opinion, almost as dangerous as revealing them. No one, to meet me on the journeys which it often fell to my lot to undertake, would have guessed that I had anything on my mind but an easy-going young fellow"s natural interest in his surroundings, though many a time I have stayed awake through a whole night of railway travel if at all doubtful about my fellow-passengers, or not dared to go to sleep in a hotel without a ready-loaded gun by my pillow. For now and then - though not through me - our secrets did ooze out. And if, as has happened, they were secrets connected with Government orders or contracts, there was, or but for the exertion of the greatest energy and tact on the part of my superiors, there would have been, to put it plainly, the devil to pay.
小题1: The writer preferred to be called ________.
A.a German | B.an Englishman |
C.both a German and an Englishman | D.neither a German nor an Englishman |
A.Talented | B.Modest | C.Reliable | D.Wise |
A.Schmidt | B.Moritz | C.Wilhelm’s father | D.Gerhardt |
A.some people sometimes let out the secrets of his company |
B.the writer occasionally didn’t keep the secrets of his company |
C.patents and the laws are strange things to have to do with |
D.the secrets were connected with Government orders or contracts |

"Where did it come from?" I asked.
"I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn"t have had one just for myself, but when in great need... such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon."
The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Crystal(水晶)Star was in its place. A few green branches reached out a little awkwardly(难看)at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas.
"It"s not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn"t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn"t be fussy(挑剔的)."
"Don"t worry," I told her. "It"s perfect."
It wasn"t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.
