题型：不详难度：来源：
One morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandoned round grain barn（谷仓）. I found a chained sliding door that was wide enough for me to pass through.
Inside, there was a heavy smell of dead mice in the dark. After my eyes adjusted, I noticed a shaft (升降机井) that rose all the way to the top of the barn. On one side was a one-man elevator with a long rope and roller.
I stepped onto the platform and gave the rope a drag and the elevator began sliding up the shaft, but stopped halfway. After a brief panic attack, I noticed holes in the wall at regular intervals, forming a ladder. For reasons known only to an 11-year-old, I decided it would be better to go up than down. So, with shaking hands, I began climbing the wall.
After what seemed like forever, I reached the top of the shaft. I stood up, dusted myself off and found absolutely nothing of interest. It was just an empty room with a ladder leading up to the roof. I climbed all the way up here for this? Then I noticed a fire extinguisher（灭火器）,which I’d always wanted to shoot off. So this was the chance of a lifetime. I tried it, and, much to my surprise, the thing worked! It shot out a thick cloud of powder that instantly filled the room. I couldn’t breathe. I was going to choke to death, and they’d probably never even find my body.
Luckily, I remembered the ladder to the roof. I climbed up, popped the straw roof and saw a bright blue sky.
I suddenly realized the dust and powder pouring out of the top could draw attention. So when the dust had settled, I climbed down and slipped out of the chained door. I’m not sure if I was more excited about being alive or about not being caught, but I ran all the way back home.

试题【The Great Barn AdventureOne morning when I was 11, I explored the town’s abandon】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”
In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”
It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.
Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”
小题1:Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?
| A．He could have a relaxing job as a caddie. |
| B．He could make more money from the golf players. |
| C．His duty was to advise the players how to play golf. |
| D．His caddying experiences contributed to his later career. |
| A．Because of the advice from the rich golf players. |
| B．Because of those giants with caddying experiences. |
| C．Because of the great success the caddies have achieved. |
| D．Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies. |
| A．helps you learn to live with loneliness |
| B．teaches you a lot about business and life |
| C．makes it possible to meet with great people |
| D．offers you chances to communicate with others |
| A．Legend of Peter Lynch. |
| B．An introduction of Golf Caddying. |
| C．Golf Caddying into Future Success. |
| D．Five Giants with Caddying Experiences. |
My train was running a little late, but that was no big problem - I could text him to say I would be delayed. He would understand. But… where was my mobile phone? I had that familiar sinking feeling. Yes, I"d forgotten it at home.
No mobile phone. I"m sure I"m not alone in feeling anxious, on edge and worried when I don"t have my phone with me. In fact, I know I"m not alone: two-thirds of us experience ‘nomophobia’, the fear of being out of mobile phone contact.
That"s according to a study from 2012 which surveyed 1,000 people in the UK about their relationship with mobile phones.
It says we check our mobile phones 34 times a day, that women are more ‘nomophobic’than men, and that 18-24 year-olds are the most likely to suffer fear of being without their mobiles: 77% of them say they are unable to be apart from their phones for more than a few minutes.
Do you have nomophobia ?
· You never turn your phone off
· You obsessively check for texts, missed calls and emails· You always take your phone to the bathroom with you· You never let the battery run out
It"s funny to think that around 20 years ago the only people with mobile phones would be businessperson carrying their large, plastic ‘bricks’. Of course, these days, mobile phones are everywhere. A UN study from this year said mobile phone subscriptions would outnumber people across the world by the end of 2014.
And when there are more phones than people in the world, maybe it"s time to ask who really is in charge? Are you in control of your phone, or does your phone control you?
So, what happened with my university friend? When I arrived a few minutes late he just laughed and said: "You haven"t changed at all – still always late!" And we had a great afternoon catching up, full of jokes and stories, with no interruptions and no nagging(唠叨的) desire to check my phone.
Not having it with me felt strangely liberating. Maybe I"ll leave it at home on purpose next time.
小题1:What does the passage talk about ?
| A．The history of mobiles. |
| B．The story of meeting an old university friend. |
| C．The addiction of playing mobile phone. |
| D．The terrible feeling of being without their mobiles. |
| A． nervous | B．energetic | C．crazy | D．surprised |
| A．digital phone | B．cell phone | C．bricks | D．smart phone |
| A．a successful manager | B．a 21-year-old girl |
| C．a 21-year-old boy | D．a lonely middle-aged person |
| A．Worried | B．Favorable | C．Neutral | D．Critical |

Compared with forms of writing, it is shorter and less time. It can help us to the habit of thinking in English. we persist in (坚持) this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, can use the important phrases and sentences we’ve in or out of English classes to describe our , and this way we can master and use freely we’ve learned, which will do good us in English learning. But we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there many idiomatic(惯用的) ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them English properly.
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is that we always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever beats （难倒）us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for , if necessary.
In short, I believe that it is of use to keep a diary in English for the development of our skills.

About American traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as:
1. Stop line: There are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). All cars must stop while meeting the stop line.
2. Traffic light: There is traffic light in the crossing of the road. Cars may almost turn every direction. The traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn. There is a kind of middle lane of turning left. When a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. When he thinks being safe, he may turn left. In many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. If people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. Only so, they may do it.
3. Specific item: Such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. Every line may park different kinds of cars. There are many streets in some residential areas (住宅区), and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. In every parking, there are some special positions for invalid (伤残的) people.
