This seemed like a very ___3___ process, but there’ s always some ___4___soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then ___5___ that we find ways to ___6___ people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever ___7___ my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my ___8___, I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff ___9___ of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a ___10___ on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious ___11___. Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one ___12___ found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name ___13___ on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still ___14___. Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few ___15___, I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it?”Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a ___16___ discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you ___17___ your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it ___18___ all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to ___19___ all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to ___20___the past wrongdoings.

答案
解析
1. B。根据下文可知句意为:教员要求我们把我们过去的任何事情(anything)都列成表,这些事情是我们感到羞愧(ashamed)、后悔或未完成的,然后大声读出。若填something只表示一些事情,与句意不符。
2. A。ashamed 意为“羞愧的”,根据后面列举的几项,不应该是“害怕的(afraid)”的事情。
3. A。private 意为“私人的、保密的、不让人知道的”。上述事情都属于个人隐私,不宜公开。
4. D。brave 意为“勇敢的”,尽管是隐私不宜公开,但在自愿者中也有勇敢的人。
5. B。suggested 意为“建议”,句子谓语用的动词原形是虚拟语气,可先排除expected;从说话者语气看,不是“命令”,所以可排除ordered和demanded。
6. C。这里教员建议要做以下几件事情:to make apologize to people“向人们道谦”,(to) take some actions right any wrong doings“采取措施纠正错误的所作所为”。
7. A。本来作者是参加一个交际培训班,而现在教员所要学员做的一切似乎与培养交际能力无关,所以作者很纳闷这是否能提高(improve)他的交际能力。
8. B。make a list 意为“列表、造表”。
9. C。none of us kids liked是定语从句,前面省略了关系代词whom / that(代替Sheriff),选none表示Jimmy(由短文最后可知此人是Jimmy)和他的少年伙伴都不喜欢那位郡长(Sheriff),与下文吻合。
10. C。play a trick on sb 意为“捉弄某人”。
11. B。sign 意为“记号、标记、符号”,指Jimmy他们写的字。
12. D。ever用于否定句表示“在任何时候、从来”,由于Jimmy说了谎话,所以“从来就没人查明事实真相(found out)”。与下文“几乎20年后再提及此事”相呼应。
13. A。appear 意为“出现”,指Sheriff Brown的名字被列在表上。
14. D。alive 意为“活着的”,此时Jimmy还不知道Sheriff Brown是否活着,与后面他们接通电话,证实了Sheriff Brown还活着。所以此处不宜用其他形容词。
15. B。ring 意为“铃声”,这里指电话被拨通。
16. D。由we had a good laugh 可知 Sheriff 和 Jimmy 进行的是热烈的(lively)讨论。所以不宜选其他形容词。
17. D。后面的句子说明原因,故选 because 引导原因状语从句:因为你的伙伴都把他们做的错事给忘了。
18. A。around 意为“大约”,此句表示:而 Jimmy 却这些(nearly20年)年来一直把他所做过的错事记在心头。
19. C。clear up 意为“消除、解除”,此句意为:在两年里Jimmy鼓励了我消除在我的表上的所有101项(做错了事情)。
20. C。 right 意为“纠正”,此句意为:纠正过去的不道德行为还为时不晚。

试题【Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most 】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
A nurse does not study for as many years as a doctor. however, each must be equally dedicated. Caring for sick persons requires a great deal of patience and concern. Most nurses work long days, and they often must work at odd hours or during the night.
Under the supervision (监管) of the head nurse, the nursing staff must provide nursing services on a 24-hour basis and attend to patients’ needs. This responsibility continues around the clock, and so nurses must work in shifts. A shift is a period of duty, usually eight in length. The nurses on the ward rotate their shifts. Some take turns working night duty; others work odd shifts.
A nurse must always be alert. She can never afford to be careless. This is true in all nursing situation, but it is especially true in the intensive care unit. Patients under intensive care are critically ill, and they must be monitored at all times. The nurses who do intensive care duty have one of the most demanding jobs in the hospital.
Serving as a nurse can be a very rewarding job. But it is not an easy one. Not every person is suited to become a nurse. Only very dedicated people have chosen nursing as a profession.

Sometimes, you feel as if you’re on top of the world. But occasionally you feel horrible, and you lose things and you cannot focus on your schoolwork.
For more than 20 years, scientists have suggested that high self-esteem (自尊) is the key to success. Now, new research shows that focusing just on building self-esteem may not be helpful. In some cases, having high self-esteem can bring bad results if it makes you less likeable or more upset when you fail at something.
“Forget about self-esteem,” says Jennifer Crocker, a psychologist (心理学家) at the University of Michigan, US. “It’s not the important thing.”
Feeling good
Crocker’s advice may sound a bit strange because it is good to feel good about yourself.
Studies show that people with high self-esteem are less likely to be depressed, anxious, shy, or lonely than those with low self-esteem.
But, after reviewing about 18,000 studies on self-esteem, Roy Baumeister, a psychologist at Florida State University, has found that building up your self-esteem will not necessarily make you a better person.
He believes that violent and wicked people often have the highest self-esteem of all. He also said: “There’s no evidence that kids with high self-esteem do better in school.”
Problems
All types of people have problems. People with high self-esteem can have big egos (自我) that can make them less likeable to their peers(同龄人), said Kathleen Vohs, a psychology professor at Columbia University.
People with high self-esteem tend to think more of themselves, Vohs says. People with low self-esteem are more likely to rely on their friends when they need help.
What to do
Researchers say it is best to listen to and support other people. Find positive ways to contribute to society. If you fail at something try to learn from the experience. “The best therapy (药方) is to recognize your faults,” Vohs says. “It’s OK to say, ‘I’m not so good at that,’ and then move on.”
小题1:The new research comes to the conclusion that high self-esteem ________.
A.is not important at all | B.has taken on a different meaning |
C.may not be the key to success | D.does not help you do better at school |
A.feeling good about oneself doesn’t mean you lead a happier life |
B.people with high esteem usually do not seek other’s help |
C.people with high esteem tend to be proud |
D.people with low esteem are often more popular |
A.helpful and supportive | B.gentle and modest |
C.likable and successful | D.friendly and kind |
A.with high self-esteem | B.with low self-esteem |
C.of all kinds | D.who are focusing on building self-esteem |
