举一反三
But it wasn’t just a car accident—he was drunk(喝醉的).
Now, Gao has to go to prison (监狱) for six months and pay a 4,000 yuan fine.
Gao is the first star to be punished under China’s new drunk driving law.
From May 1 on, drunk drivers will pay a fine, and be banned from driving for five years or even forever.
Drunk driving has become a serious social problem in China.According to the Ministry of Public Security (公安部), police caught more than half a million drunk drivers last year, a 68 % increase from 2009.
The new law sees drunk driving as a crime.
In the West, drunk driving is also a crime. In the US, for example, if the police catch a drunk driver, the driver will pay a fine, lose his or her license (驾照) and even go to prison. If the driver wants to drive again, he or she must do public service, and take part in educational programs.
You may think: drunk driving is a crime? Isn’t this law too unkind? But experts say, “Not at all.”
“It is to protect people’s rights to life and health,” Li Gang, lawyer in Chengdu, told China Daily. “Drunk driving is very dangerous. No matter what the results are, it should not be allowed.”
小题1:Mr. Gao ran his car into three other cars because _________.
A.there was something wrong with his car |
B.he went home too late |
C.he drank too much wine |
D.the road was too crowded |
A.Health. | B.Traffic. | C.Weather. | D.Money. |
A.On May 1, 2010. | B.On May 1, 2011. | C. On May 1, 2009 | D.On May 9, 2011. |
A.Drunk driving is a crime. |
B.The law is not kind to drunk drivers. |
C.Driving has become a serious problem. |
D.The law is too strict. |
A.Li Gang from Chengdu doesn’t like the law. |
B.In the US, drunk drivers will only lose their licenses. |
C.There were more drunk drivers in 2010 than in 2009. |
D.The law is to protect drivers’ rights to life and health only. |
Generally, ordinary beings consider sensual(感觉的) pleasures as happiness, and their actions are directed toward gaining these. According to them, searching for happiness means searching for pleasures of the senses. The question, “What is happiness?”, does not arise(出现) in their hearts, because in their hearts they think of a life full of sensual joys as a happy life.
Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in the objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in the imagination.” To prove their belief they give examples like the following one. A man has a two-storey house. When he thinks of those who have a house with three storeys or more, he feels unhappy. When he thinks of those who have just a cottage, he feels happy. Such happiness does not lie in possessions(占有物), but in the imagination. They advise people to take inspiration from those who have few possessions but are quite happy. If you only consider people wealthier than yourself, you will always be unhappy.
If you want to be happy, they say, look at the poor. But it is unreasonable to hold that happiness lies in the imagination. And it is inappropriate to think that someone is happy if he only imagines himself better than the poor and the unhappy. This attitude also satisfies the sense of pride of possession. This can never be called happiness. Unless we find out where happiness lies, we cannot really become happy.
Some ask people to do this or that, and say, “This way your desires will be satisfied. That way you will get what you want and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires and unhappiness as denial(否定) of such satisfaction.

C.Life with desire for possessions. |
D.Life full of imagination. |

A.by comparing themselves with the poor, people will feel happy |
B.people won’t feel happy without a desire for happiness |
C.possessing wealth may lead to a sense of pride |
D.people have to experience pain and grief before finding happiness |
A.What Is Happiness? | B.How to Get Happiness |
C.Happiness and Desire | D.Happiness and Imagination |
“I like having my own company. I like being the boss,” Harli told The Mirror.
With profits now in the thousands, “the world"s youngest CEO” has had to get his mother and older brothers to help him meet the growing demand.
Harli launched Marble King after swapping(交换)marbles at school led to schoolchildren depleting(削减) his marble collection. Yes, he literally(确切地)“lost his marbles.” Harli and his mother, Tina, turned to the Internet to find replacements.
Harli saw an empty space online: the marbles he wanted were hard to find. Within months, Harli had his own marble-selling website and orders started pouring in.
Tina says her son"s obsession(迷恋) with marbles started when he was just 6.
“His obsession became so big we started calling him the Marble King, so when he wanted to set up a website it was the natural name for it,” she told The Sun.
“I never thought it would become so popular—we are struggling to cope with the number of orders at times.”
The 8-year-old boy has his sights set on expanding his business and launching his own brand of marbles.
“Sometimes his ideas are so grand we have to scale them back a bit. But his dream is still to own Britain"s biggest marble shop and open stores around the world.” Tina told The Daily Mail.
“At the minute he is annoying me by asking about creating his won Marble King marbles, so that could well be the next step for him.”
小题1:Why did Harli"s marble company become popular as soon as he launched it?
A.Because it was run by “the world"s youngest CEO”. |
B.Because it filled the gaps of marble business. |
C.Because Harli was fascinated with marble collection. |
D.Because his mother and brothers helped him a lot. |
A.One. | B.Two. | C.Three. | D.Four. |
A.make smaller | B.carry out | C.turn down | D.frighten away |
A.Conflicts often occur between Harli Jordean and his family. |
B.Harli"s mother and brothers are worried about Marble King"s future. |
C.Marble King marbles will be more popular with marble fans around the world. |
D.The “Marble King” has great ambitions for his Marble King Company. |
I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my work to the grown-ups and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered:“Frighten? Why should anyone be frightened by a hat?”
My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing. I drew the inside of the boa constrictor so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. That"s my Drawing Number Two.
The grown-ups" response this time was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of ba constrictors whether from the inside or the outside and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar. That is why at the age of six I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
So then I chose another profession(职业) and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.
In the course of this life I have had lots of chances to meet with a great many people. And that hasn"t much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But whoever it was, he or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors or primeval forests or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge and golf and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.
小题1:The writer drew his first picture in order to ________.
A.show the grown-ups what the book was about |
B.frighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forest |
C.remind himself of the adventures of the jungle |
D.illustrate(说明)a boa constrictor"s act of digesting an animal |
A.He was actually only good at academic study. |
B.It was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing. |
C.He had difficulty in communicating with the adults. |
D.He was good at anything but geography. |
A.discouraged | B.dissatisfied | C.discovered | D.disturbed |
A.The writer could have become a pilot if encouraged when young. |
B.The writer finally changed his opinion of grown-ups. |
C.The writer has been showing his two pictures to others ever since. |
D.The writer felt nobody could have really understood him. |
After online searches,I decided to compare the offerings of four companies:Zone Manhattan,Chefs Diet,NuKitchen and eDiets. All four would send the meals to my door. Three send food daily,while eDiets sends a large package once a week. There were dozens of companies I could have chosen.Research suggests that the economic crisis has made diet programs less tempting.Consumers prefer doityourself diets with foods bought from the supermarket.
NuKitchen regards itself as the “personal chef”.I ordered the fiveday plan ($230.53) and the taste was disappointing. I neither lost nor gained weight on the food.
eDiets promises “healthy,delicious meals sent to your door”.I ordered five breakfasts,five lunches and five dinners. My total cost was $119.70,or less than $25 a day. Overall,the food from eDiets was better than that from NuKitchen.
Chefs Diet charged $380.99 for seven days,making it the most expensive of the four services.I never tasted anything terrible,but I never tasted anything that made me want to renew for a second week.
Zone Manhattan charged $349.80,with tax,for a week’s supply of food,or about $50 a day.I liked the food so much that I lost six pounds in the first four days on the diet.
小题1:When the author began to have diet meals,she________.
A.was 200 pounds |
B.didn’t have any children |
C.worked as a cook in a company offering diet meals |
D.didn’t believe she could stick to a diet if she had to cook herself |
A.Attractive. | B.Expensive. | C.Delicious. | D.Useful. |
A.Zone Manhattan’s. | B.Chefs Diet’s. |
C.NuKitchen’s. | D.eDiets’. |
A.the author gained weight on the food from Nukitchen |
B.the author would choose the food of Zone Manhattan |
