举一反三
At the critical moment when a large enemy force was bearing down upon the border, most of the officials persuaded the king to sue for peace, at the cost of giving away to the State of Qin the large area of land north of the Huanghe River and south of the Taihang Mountain. However Su Dai, a counselor, did not agree. He hurried up to the king and said: "Your Majesty, they don"t think about the interests of the country at all. It is just because they are afraid of death that they ask you to sue for peace by betraying the country. Of course you can temporarily satisfy the ambition of Qin, but it will never stop attacking us until our land is totally given away."
He added,“Once there was a man whose house was on fire. People told him to put out the fire with water, but he would not listen. Instead, he carried a faggot to put out the fire, only to make the fire fiercer. Isn"t it similar to carrying faggots to put out a fire if you agree to sue for peace at the cost of the land of the State of Wei?”
Though Su Dai"s argument was very convincing, the king accepted the suggestion of those officials and gave away to the State of Qin a large area of the land of the State of Wei. As might be expected, the Qin army attacked the State of Wei in 225 B.C. again, surrounding the capital city Daliang and flooding it by digging open the dykes (堤防) of the Huanghe River. The State of Wei was finally destroyed.
小题1: When asked how to defeat the Qin army, most officials _______.
A.were scared and at a loss what to do |
B.looked worried and turned to Su Dai for help |
C.asked a large enemy force to bear down upon the border |
D.were extremely frightened and decided to give up fighting back |
A.demand | B.beg for | C.search for | D.negotiate for |
A.the ambition of the State of Qin |
B.the serious results of giving in |
C.the loss of the land of the State of Wei |
D.the trembling consequences of defense |
A.time | B.logic | C.making comparison | D.cause and effect |
A.approval | B.praise | C.neutral | D.disapproval |

“People who are born with a silver spoon in their mouth can fall victim (受害者) to what my father has called a silver dagger (匕首) in your back,” Buffett told Reuters in an interview. “It leads to a sense of entitlement (特权) and a lack of personal achievement.”
Entitlement, he believes, is the worst thing ever. “Anybody who acts like they deserve (应得) something ‘just because’ is a disaster,” he said.
In his new book, Life Is What You Make It: Finding Your Own Path to Fulfillment, Buffett says that the only real inheritance (遗产) handed down from his parents was a philosophy (价值观): Forge your own path in life. It is a belief that has allowed him to follow his own passions, establish his own identity, and reap (收获) his own successes.
Did his father ever want him to go into finance? “It was encouraged for a moment when I was open to the idea,” he told Reuters. But as he grew older, it became clear the financial world “was not speaking to my heart.”
His father accepted his choice to become a musician. He began his musical career by writing music for TV commercials (广告). He then released his own albums.
“I am my own person and I know what I have accomplished in my life,” he told Reuters. “This isn’t about wealth or fame or money or any of that stuff, it is actually about values and what you enjoy and finding something you love doing.”
Along with the book, Buffett has begun a “Concert & Conversation” tour in which he plays the piano, talks about his life and warns against consumerist (消费主义) culture and damaging the environment.
“Economic prosperity (繁荣) may come and go; that’s just how it is,” he writes in the book. “But values are the steady currency (硬通货) that earn us the all-important rewards.”
小题1: What does “It” in the second paragraph refer to?
A.A life of a top investor. | B.A silver spoon in the mouth. |
C.Being born to a wealthy family. | D.The victim of a silver dagger in the back. |
A.Peter Buffett is a born musician. |
B.Peter Buffett enjoys a hugely privileged life. |
C.A wealthy family can benefit a child but also spoil him or her. |
D.Peter Buffett was forced by his parents to take over their business. |
A.his passion for music | B.the good education he received |
C.his great determination | D.the values he learned from his parents |
A.Wealth is there to enjoy to the fullest. |
B.A person’s value lies within. |
C.Many people are fooled by economic prosperity. |
D.Young people should choose their own philosophy, whatever their parents believe in. |
Once, in the middle of a night, the President awoke to see a thief searching his clothes. Coolidge calmy spoke up from the darkness, “I wish you wouldn’t take that watch.”
“Why?” asked the shocked man.
Coolidged answered, “Take it near the window and read what is engraved on the back of it.”
The man read, “Presented to Calvin Coolidged, Speaker of the House, by the Massachusetts General Court.” He was very surprised!
“Are you President Coolidge?” he asked. He had never thought he would find the president sleeping in a hotel!
“Yes, I am” Coolidge said. Then he asked, “Why are you doing this,Son?”
The young man explained that he and a friend traveled to Washington during their college vacation. They spent all of their money and had no money to pay the hotel bill and the train tickets back to school.
Coolidge added up those fees. It came to $32. That may not sound like much now, but it was a big sum then. “I’ll give you the $32 as a loan,” the President said, “And I expect you to pay me back.”
The youth thanked him. Coolidge left him with this warning: “Son, you are a nice boy, you are better than you are acting. You are starting down the wrong road. Just remember who you are.”
It wasn’t until after the death of Mr.Coolidge that this story was allowed to come out. It was first published in the Los Angeles Times. And the most interesting of all is that the President’s notes show that the young man was indeed better than he was acting. He repaid the $32 loan in full.
小题1:.The president stopped the youth from stealing the watch because
A.It was his favorite watch. |
B.He wanted to give some money to the youth |
C.He wanted to help the young man from getting into trouble |
D.He used it for work and daily life |
A.the youth’s family was in financial difficulty |
B.hotel fees were rather expensive at that time |
C.the youth never connected with the president again |
D.the youth learned a lesson from his experience with the president |
A.From the president himself |
B.From a newspaper |
C.From the youth’s notes |
D.From the youth himself |
A.possessions can be given up when necessary |
B.generosity should be encouraged in some cases |
C.people can benefit from their unforgettable experiences |
D.an act of kindness may change a person’s life |
Lighten up
Do yourself a favor and ship your presents. Nearly every US airline charges a fee to check a bag, so shipping gifts is now cheaper and more convenient than carrying them in your luggage.
Weigh your options
Not knowing what you’re going to pay for your luggage is annoying. So calculate your overweight-luggage fees at home. You can find the fees out in advance by visiting new site Luggage Limits, which provides the latest information on more than 90 airlines.
Leave amateurs in the dust
Trust us and get to the airport an extra half-hour early. The check-in and security lines are filled with inexperienced files, and it’s a hard walking. Plus, if you decide to cut it close you may not get onto the flight at all. To reduce costs, airlines have reduced on flights and routes. The remaining flights are more likely to be oversold, especially on busy travel days. Fliers who check in early are the least likely to get bumped from oversold flights.
Take it public
The rates for renting a car at the airport have more than doubled over the past year because rental lot inventories have decreased dramatically(现住地). True, renting at the airport is convenient, but it’s just not worth it anymore. Unless you really need a car, take public transportation, hop a cab, or beg a friend to pick you up at the airport instead.
Say no to bumper cars
Tell the people picking you up to avoid parking their car. They can hang out in their car for free while waiting to get a call from you when you land. Many airports, including JFK and LAX now feature this sensible choice.
小题1:How does the author think of shipping gifts?
A.Unnecessary. | B.Expensive. | C.Inconvenient. | D.Wonderful. |
A.deal with crisis | B.reduce the time for leave |
C.lower the cost | D.provide more job chances |
A.renting a car at the airport is expensive | B.taxis stay at the airport free of charge |
C.cars can park at the airport for free | D.JFK encourages people to take a taxi |
A.Five ways to survive a holiday flight. | B.Good seasons for flight. |
C.Cars at the airport. | D.How to board a flight |
