题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: “If you live each day as if it were your last, someday you’ ll most certainly be right.” It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself, “If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?”
Remembering that I’ ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choice in life.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that was incurable, and that I would live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is my doctors’ code for preparing yourself to die.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. I was completely in despair. Later that evening, I had another examination and my wife told me that tumor turned to be curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I’ m fine now.
This was the closest I’ve been to facing death. To tell the truth, no one wants to die. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. It clears out the old to make room for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.
Your time is so limited that you shouldn’t waste it repeating someone else’s life. Don’ t be trapped by dogma（教条）—which is living with the results of other people’ s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly, have the courage to follow your heart. It somehow already knows what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
小题1:The doctor advised the author to go home and get his affairs in order because_________.| A．he had to rest at home | B．his disease couldn’t be cured | | C．his disease was not serious at all | D．he had to wait for the result of the test |

小题4:In the author’ s opinion, we should ____________.| A．follow others’ advice | B．take no notice of diseases | | C．take exercise and keep healthy | D．have the courage to follow our heart |

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.
Several weeks ago，I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines．I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again．I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me．I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up．Could he be more intent while standing up？
This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success．This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life．
Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits，and all you can do is loving and accepting them．As parents，throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids" best cheerleaders，guiding them and helping them find their way.
I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate．Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine．We need to learn to accept our kids" ways of doing things．Some way may have worked for me but doesn"t mean we need to carry it through generations．There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique．It makes us free and happy and that"s just the way I want my kids to live their own life．
小题1: At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him________.| A．pay more attention to his study | B．keep silent in the room | C．finish his hom ework on time | D．get right answers |

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting.But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10 15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day — which really for handwriting is pretty much.
Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again. Today’ s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself.Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.
Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility,_which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.
But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about onefourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.
But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.
小题1:We can learn ________ from Paragraph 1.| A．teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job | | B．most teachers prefer to teach handwriting | | C．teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting | | D．a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely |
小题2:Which of the following is WRONG for traditional handwriting in the USA?| A．The students are taught by practicing a long period. | | B．The letters are repeated many times. | | C．Handwriting includes two skills. | | D．To write in cursive is taught first. |
小题3:The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________.| A．easy to read | B．complex | C．unexpected | D．unreadable |
小题4:The best title for the passage is ________.| A．How to improve handwriting in school | | B．Right or wrong: the death of handwriting | | C．Handwriting involves two skills | | D．Handwriting lessons are on the way out |
小题5:The author’ s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________.| A．negative | B．objective | C．critical | D．optimistic |

Try 36 he might, he was still unable to get a couple to sign up for a policy(保单). “I certainly don’t want to frighten you into a 37,” he announced, standing up to 38. “Please sleep on it tonight, and 39 you wake up in the morning, let me know what you think.”
