题型:不详难度:来源:
Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren’t just important to us, they make the world what it is.
Scientists say that the gravity makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes  it  go around. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even strangers. Even if you can’t see it, you know it’s there.
Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster or a school fund raiser, one thing is certain--- it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it’s a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, generosity is not something you need any qualifications(资格)for, and no matter what you do, it can make a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.
Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing a novel, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists discover cures for illnesses, and athletes become winners. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that’s one less to make the next time.
There is an infinite(无限的) number of things we value. But without love, generosity, and perseverance, we just don’t think that our lives or the world would be the way it is.
小题1:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph means         .
A.the worldB.the gravityC.the valueD.the experience
小题2:To be generous, the writer thinks       .
A.you needn’t make effort
B.you should be qualified(有资格的)
C.you should give all you have
D.you find it meaningful whatever you do
小题3:The meaning of the word “perseverance” is       .
A.财富B.体力C.毅力D.机遇
小题4:Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A.Perseverance is the only thing to help us achieve success.
B.People don’t understand life they experience at all.
C.Helping others is always better than receiving help.
D.What the world is like depends on the gravity and love.
小题5:The best title for the passage may be       .
A.Success and failureB.Three valuesC.Endless loveD.Hard life

核心考点
试题【Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experien】;主要考察你对人生百味类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Crazy is our new normal. With two teenage boys and three little boys, our family is restless- to the baseball field, track field (田径场) and piano lessons. Even though we"ve limited(限制) each boy"s activities and try our best to spare some time for the family, it seems that we"re always in a hurry.
"Accept it. Roll with it," my husband, Lonny, says, "It"s going to be like this for a while."
He is right. It"s likely that life will continue to go forward before it slows down. But I remembered the peaceful, quiet days that our family used to enjoy. I missed long walks through the park when we held the boys" little hands. I wished for lazy Saturday afternoons under the tree in our backyard. I wanted to go back a few years, when busyness was the exception and not the rule(惯例).
One night, after a particularly ful day and evening games, our family gathered on the porch (门廊) for ice cream. Two parents, two teens, and three small boys sat on one old swing and a couple of rocking chairs. We were together, in one place, for a short period of time.
The moon was full. The Mississippi River, flowing past our home, was smooth as glass. I put my own arms around the son who sat on my lap and breathed in deeply his little-boy smell -dirt and sweat. My heart was peaceful and satisfied.
I realized that though crazy is our new normal, happiness is as usual. They may look different from before, but they are still there - even if they"re in the form of a single moment on the porch. Maybe I just need the eyes to see.

I watched quietly as my little brother was caught in the act. He sat in the corner of the living room, a   1 in one hand and my father"s new book in the other.
  2  my father walked into the room, my brother cowered (畏缩) slowly. He sensed that he had done something   3  . From a distance I could see that he had   4 my father"s new book and scribbled (乱画) in it. Now, looking at my father in  5  , he and I both waited for his punishment.

"Wow," I thought, "This is punishment?" The years and the books came and went. Our family experienced what all families go through and perhaps a little bit more: happiness and   12  , laughter and tears. We always knew our parents   13  us and that one of the proofs (证明) of their love was the book.

A saint (圣人) found a group of family members shouting angrily at each other on a river bank. He asked his disciples(信徒), “  1  do people shout when they are angry with each other?” The disciples 2  for a while and one of them said, “Because they lose their calm.”

To cover that distance they must shout in order to  7 each other. The angrier they are, the they will have to shout to cover that great distance. What happens when two people fall in love? They don’t shout at each other but talk softly, because their hearts are very close. The distance them is very small or doesn’t exist(存在).”
The saint looked at his disciples and continued, “So when you argue with other people, do not say words that distance each other, or else there will come a day when the distance is so great that you will not find the  10  to return.

My now 7-year-old grandson, who lives 100 miles away, has kept my phone number in his mind since he was 4. Since then, he has been  1  me every night before he goes to bed to tell me about his day or just to say “Good night, Grandma.”
He also often calls me at other times during the day just to  2  a happy or sad moment. Many times he’s playing a basketball with one hand, or laughing with a friend about something that I  3  quite understand, or crying about something he may or may not want to talk about while I’m on the other end of the phone. I just listen and empathize (同情) or laugh with him—just share his current (当前的)  4 . I always let him control the  5  , and the time he’s on the phone with me. Many times I just listen to him play, or play games we’ve made up together that we can play over the   6  .   
The only time I take control of the  7  is when he’s ready to say goodbye at night. Often there are four special   8  I say to him every night. One night I thought maybe he was tired to hear those, so I didn’t say them. He  9  called me back and told me that I forgot to say those sentences! I haven’t missed saying them since then!
My friends all know that he is the most important for me.  10  I’m in church(教堂), or some place where I really can’t take his call, I always politely excuse myself and talk to him, even if it’s just for a minute to tell him I’ll call him back in a few minutes.
He knows that he takes first place in my heart.

Dear Miss Li,
I’d like to thank you for sending money    1   “Animal Helpers”, an organization set up to help disabled people. You see, you have helped    2   it possible for me to have “Lucky”. My life    3  pleasure because of him now. Let me tell you my story.
Being blind, deaf, unable to walk or use your hands    4   is something that most people cannot imagine. But there are many people who face these challenges, and I am one of them. Because I can’t use my arms or legs well, things like answering the telephone, opening and   5
doors or carrying things have always been difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine said that she would like to    6  . She said she would talk to “Animal Helpers” to see   
  7    it would be possible for me to get a trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I told her that I love animals and that I’d love to have a dog.
   8   six months of training with a dog at “Animal Helpers”, I was able to   9   him
home. My dog’s name is “Lucky” – a good name for him    10   I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I’m only able to have a “dog-helper” because of your kind donation!
  11  , you might ask? Well, he has been trained to    12   different instructions. For example, I say, “Lucky! Fetch my book,” and he does it at once. He is very clever and understands many English words, even some difficult    13   like “upstairs”.
Lucky is an    14   dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”. It is very important that this organization does not run out of money. Your donation   15   and the money is well used to help disabled people like me.
Best wishes,
Liz Smith
