举一反三
Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for family, health, and life in general. However, Black Friday has turned it into a business.
Traditionally, the true value of Thanksgiving lies at home not the shopping centers. However, Black Friday has nowadays allowed society to ignore this as individuals long for something that they do not need or even truly want. Shopping on Black Friday becomes a sign of a shift into a culture that values material wealth over spending time with loved ones. People are willing to force their way through the crowds in their desperate search for marked-down sweaters and necklaces.
In recent years, Thanksgiving has become a pre-Black Friday holiday for many families. They are devoted to mapping out shopping routes and making organized schedules for which stores to hit first. By drawing individuals out to shopping centers with "matchless savings", businesses encourage this behavior of ignoring Thanksgiving. Many families take their home-cooked meals while camping out at the door of shopping centers. With each new year, Thanksgiving is becoming victim to over-commercialization—switching from a meaningful time of thanks and family to a day dedicated to products and profit.
Black Friday has shown that with current common standards, people cannot even set aside a single day to appreciate what they already have without immediately buying more. Families have lost sight of what is truly important in life, and have found reasons in debating between a low cost HD television and an appreciation for what they already have. Remember, Thanksgiving should be a day in which people are grateful for all that they have.
小题1:The underlined word "this" in paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.
A.the sign of a shiftB.the material wealth
C.the shopping crowdD.the true value of Thanksgiving
小题2:In recent years, what will many families do when thanksgiving comes?
A.Make full preparations for the Black Friday shopping.
B.Visit some newly-opened shopping centers in advance.
C.Find it difficult to choose a store for their first visit.
D.Go camping at the gate of shopping center for a good deal.
小题3:In the last paragraph, the author mainly intends to tell us that we should ______.
A.set aside a single day to buy more
B.try to spend less to get low cost products
C.stay with our families as long as we can
D.appreciate what we"ve possessed with our families
小题4:What"s the author’s attitude towards the present ways people celebrate Thanksgiving?
A.Annoyed. B.Worried. C.Supportive. D.Unconcerned.

Parties and social gatherings no longer excite us the same way they once did. This is not due to a lack of desire to socialize, but the smartphone.
At parties, more people are on their smartphones than on their drinks. According to a recent International Data Corporation study, well over half of all Americans have a smartphone and reach for it the moment they wake up, keeping it in hand all day. In addition, too much of society is using smartphones while driving and as a result getting into car crashes. 34 percent of teens admit to text while driving, and they confirm that text messaging is their number one driving interruption. People"s attachment to their smartphones is unbelievably becoming more important than the lives of themselves and others.
Just as drivers dismiss the importance of focusing while on the road, many people also fail to recognize the significance of human interaction. When with their friends, some people pointlessly check or send text messages in the presence of a friend, which sends a message to that friend: the person I am texting is more important than you. In addition, relying on our smartphone to make friends does not give us the same advantage as being able to make new friendships in the real world. Face-to-face conversations will give us much stronger communication skills in the long run.
As many people risk their lives and the lives of people around them just to send a text or mindlessly check their massages, smartphones are in many ways more dangerous to people. The quality of this technology is de-advancing societal achievements and weakening the value of communication. Not only is the smartphone affecting our desire to interact (交流) face-to-face but it is also lowering society"s ability to communicate.
小题1:The purpose of this text is to ______.
A.call for an end to use the smartphone while driving
B.appeal to us to pay attention to communication skills
C.express a concern about the overuse of the smartphone
D.advise us to be cautious about the addiction to the smartphone
小题2:The second paragraph is developed by ______.
A.giving examplesB.listing figuresC.comparing facts D.analyzing the effects
小题3:The author advocates us to make new friends ______.
A.by using smartphones B.in a face-to-face way
C.in different waysD.under a free circumstance
小题4:Over dependence on the smartphone leads to the fact that ______.
A.parties and gatherings limit their social circle
B.people are more and more narrow-minded
C.people"s communication skills are weakened
D.face-to-face communication becomes less important

La Gomera is the only place in the world which has a whistle (口哨)language. We do not know how and why it began because we do not know the complete history of the island. But we can certainly imagine the reasons for the beginning of the whistle language. There are many deep valleys on the island. A person on one side of a valley can not easily shout to a person on the other side. But he can whistle and be heard. Some of the best whistlers can be heard from four miles away and the record is seven miles.
The people who live on the island usually have good teeth, and this helps them to whistle well. They must also have good ears so that they can hear other whistlers.
We can understand why the whistle language continues. It is very useful on the island, and quite easy to learn. When somebody is hurt or ill, the whistle language takes the place of telephone. If the sick person is quite far away from the town, people pass the message from one to another. A boy guarding cattle on a hillside whistles to a man fishing from his boat. The last one is able to describe the trouble fully and exactly to the doctor in town. People help one another in the same way when a car breaks down or a cow is lost.
The whistle language is hundreds of years old, and probably it will continue to live on for hundreds of years more. Radio and TV often kill the special ways of speaking in different parts of a country. But on La Gomera you are nobody if you cannot whistle. Perhaps soon after TV arrives on the island, people there will be whistling the news and other facts and opinions.
小题1:If a person on La Gomera is ill,______.
A.others will phone the doctor in town
B.people will take him to town by carriage
C.his family will take him to the hospital
D.the whistle language will help pass the message to the doctor
小题2:La Gomera is special because ______.
A.many visitors go there every year
B.no visitors have ever been there
C.people there have special ears to hear whistles
D.people there use the whistle language to communicate with each other
小题3:Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.It is not easy for a person to live on La Gomera if he cannot whistle.
B.The whistle language can only be found on La Gomera.
C.The whistle language has been used for hundreds of years on the island, but will not be used any longer.
D.The record shows that one best whistler can be heard others seven miles away.
小题4:Which of the following will be the best title of this passage?
A.The Secret LanguageB.Do You Know the Whistle Language?
C.The Life of IslandersD.La Gomera一a Mystery

“When I grow up, I want to be...”
Almost all of us have thought about, or been asked to think about, our future careers. Our answers may differ greatly. Even now your aspirations(志向,抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However, it seems career options aren’t only based on personal taste. In a survey carried out by Teens, doctors, lawyers, and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow. This is in line with a similar survey carried out in the UK in May 2011 by job website---Co.uk, in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions. Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are much-respected members of society, and they make good money. What’s more, these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social mobility.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices. Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in. Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career. British young men list the UK tycoon(巨头,大亨) Alan Sugar, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg as their top role models “for their wealth”. Just as Chinese teenagers see being a banker as a good and fun way to “wealth”.
However, not every child has the makings of doctor, lawyer, or banker. They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas, and many teenagers dare to ink more individuality into their career options. As the Teens’ survey discovered, a variety of unconventional jobs---coffee shop owner, gourmet(美食家),waiter at a fast food restaurant---are among teenagers’ career choices. They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge, and all career paths require specific education and training, you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Careers in teenagers’ mind.
B.Choosing a good job is very important.
C.Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D.The choice of career needs challenge.
小题2:What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13 and 17 according to the article?
A.MedicineB.LawC.BankD.Education
小题3: According to the article, all of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer except _______.
A.respect from othersB.the oldest profession
C.high payD.upward social mobility
小题4:What do youngsters think is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators of a successful career?
A.PrestigeB.AchievementC.HappinessD.Wealth
小题5:According to the last two paragraphs, which of the following is TRUE?
A.Careers such as gourmets and waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D.Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when

Everyone knows that the French are romantic, the Italians are fashionable and the Germans are serious. Or do they? Are these just stereotypes or is there really such a thing as national character? And if there is, can it affect how a nation succeed or fail?
At least one group of people is certain that it can. A recent survey of the top 500 entrepreneurs (实业家) in the UK found that 70 percent felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public.
Britain is hostile to success, they said. It has a culture of jealousy (嫉妒) . As a result, the survey said, entrepreneurs were “unloved, unwanted and misunderstood”. Jealousy is sometimes known as the “green-eyed monster” and the UK is its home. Scientists at Warwich University in the UK recently tested this idea. They gathered a group of people together and gave each an imaginary amount of money. Some were given a little, others a great deal. Those given a little money were given the chance to destroy the large amounts of money given to others—but at the cost of losing their own. Two thirds of the people tested agreed to do this.
This seems to prove the entrepreneurs were right to complain. But there is also conflicting evidence. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) recently reported that the UK was now the world’s fourth largest economy. That is not bad for people who are supposed to hate success. People in the UK also work longer hours than anyone else in Europe. So the British people are not lazy, either.
“It’s not really success that the British dislike,” says Carey Cooper, a Professor of management at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology. “It’s people using their success in a way that seems arrogant (傲慢) or unfair or which separates them from their roots.”
Perhaps it is the entrepreneurs who are the problem. They set out to do things in their way. They work long hours. By their own efforts they become millionaires. But instead of being happy they complain that nobody loves them. It hardly seems worth following their example. If they were friendlier, people would like them more. And more people want to be like them.
小题1:What does the underlined “it” in the second paragraph refer to__________?
A.One group of peopleB.A great surveyC.A nation D.National character
小题2:Most entrepreneurs surveyed believe that       .
A.the British public are hardworking
B.they are not popular simply because they are successful
C.love of success is Britain’s national character
D.they are considered as “green-eyed monsters”
小题3:What does the result of the Warwich University test show_________?
A.Most people would rather fail than see others succeed
B.Two thirds of the people tested didn’t love money
C.An imaginary amount of money does not attract people
D.Most people are willing to enjoy success with others
小题4:The writer of the passage seems to suggest that        .
A.jealousy is Britain’s national character
B.British entrepreneurs are not fairly treated
C.the British dislike the entrepreneurs because they do not behave properly
D.the scientists at Warwich University did a successful test
小题5:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.Everyone knows that the French are romantic, the Germans are fashionable and the Italians are serious.
B.About 350 entrepreneurs in the UK felt that their efforts were not appreciated by the British public.
C.The British people are not lazy and they work longer hours than anyone else in the world.
D.Carey Cooper said that the British really dislike success.
