试题【完形填空。     My dad has been driving a truck for almost his entire life. He"s usual】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
阅读理解。     When you were looking for a reliable, honest auto mechanic, how did you find him?Before you went
into that restaurant you recently tried, how did you know that it served great food?If you are like most
people on the planet, you want to lower your risk of a big ugly surprise so you asked people you trust to
refer to a business they trust. Marketers call this friendtofriend recognition of a business "wordofmouth"
advertising.
     When you do a great job for your customer or a bad job, people are going to talk about your business. Unfortunately, because we humans seem to feel negative emotions more intensively than positive ones,
we"re more likely to tell more of our friends about bad experiences with a business than positive ones.
Understand this:Customers believe their own experience. You can"t make them believe that your company is wonderful when they felt they were treated badly.
     So, to get positive wordofmouth going for your business in this servicebased economy, you"ve got to
do a really outstanding job for everyone, exactly.
And when you do, you build a great reputation. That takes time. But it forms a close link with your
customers in a way that no advertising and no promotional coupon (优惠券) ever could.
The good news is that because there are so many different businesses chasing after your customers"
money, people want to know whom they can trust. So people are going to be talking about you. Create
a free sales force for your business-an army of delighted  customers who tell everyone that they know
how good your company is to do business with. That"s a great antidote (解毒剂) to defectionitis.1. What is the main topic of this passage?A. A good name will bring you money.
B. A person should rely on his friends for business.
C. Advertising can make customers believe it"s wonderful.
D. A company can rely on its associates to survive.2. According to the passage, whether we go to a place or not depends on________.A. business fame  
B. media assistance
C. particular recognition 
D. associates"recommendation3. When you do an outstanding job in service, you will surely________.A. make more money than you expect
B. have a mutual understanding with your customers
C. build a great reputation immediately
D. earn your fame as well as advertise for your company4. The underlined word "defectionitis" probably means________.A. service imperfection 
B. customers" distrust
C. customers"protection

阅读理解。                                                      It Tastes Just Like Chicken
     Away from home, eating is more than just a way to keep your stomach full. It is a language all its own, and no words can say, "Glad to meet you … glad to be doing business with you ..." quite like sharing a
meal offered by your host.
     Clearly, mealtime is not the time for you to say, "Thanks, but no." Acceptance of the food on your
plate means acceptance of the host, the country, and the company. So, no matter how difficult it may be
to swallow (吞咽), swallow. Or, as one experienced traveler says, "Travel with a cast-iron (铸铁的)
stomach and eat everything everywhere."
     Often, the food offered represents proudly your host country"s eating culture. What would Americans
think of a French person who refused to take a bite of homemade apple pie or sirloin? Our discomfort
comes not so much from the thing itself; it comes from our unfamiliarity (不熟悉) with it. After all, an
oyster has remarkably the same look as a sheep"s eye; and a first look at a lobster would remind almost
anybody of a creature from a science fiction movie, not something you dip in butter and eat. By the way,
in Saudi Arabia sheep"s eyes are a famous dish and in parts of China it"s pig"s tails.
     Can you refuse such food without being rude? Most experienced business travelers say no, at least
not before taking at least a few bites. It helps, though, to slice (切) any item very thin. This way, you
minimize (最小化) the taste and the reminder of where it came from. Or, "Swallow it quickly," as one
traveler recommends. "I still can"t tell you what sheep"s eyeballs taste like." As for dealing with taste, the
old line that "it tastes just like chicken" is often thankfully true. Even when the "it" is really rat or snake.
     Another useful piece of advice is not knowing what you are eating. What"s for dinner? Don"t ask.  
Avoid glancing into the kitchen or looking at English-language menus. Your host will be pleased that you
are eating the food he offers, and who knows? Maybe it really is chicken in that soup. 1. The purpose of the article is to _________.A. introduce unfamiliar food
B. share the writer"s personal experiences
C. suggest ways to overcome a cultural barrier (障碍)
D. advise on how to politely refuse to eat foreign food2. According to the writer, people hesitate (犹豫) at strange food mainly due to _________. A. the way it looks                  
B. safety worries
C. not knowing much about it    
D. the unfamiliar atmosphere3. From the article we can infer that ________. A. an American may feel comfortable with apple pie
B. one should refuse strange food after a few bites
C. English-language menus are not always dependable
D. one needs a cast-iron stomach to travel in other cultures4. One may say "It tastes just like chicken." when __________. A. showing respect for chicken-loving nations
B. greeting people with different dieting habits
C. judging chefs at an international food festival
D. getting someone to try an unpleasant meal

阅读理解。     We tell ourselves that life will be better once we are married, have a baby, then another. Then we get
frustrated (沮丧的)because our children are not old enough and that all will be well when they are older.
Then we are frustrated because they reach teenage years and we must deal with them. Surely we"ll be
happier when they grow out of the teen years.
     We tell ourselves our life will be better when our spouse (配偶) gets his/her act together, when we
have a nicer car, when we can take a vacation, when we finally retire. The truth is that there is no better
time to be happy than right now. If not, then when? Your life will always be full of challenges. It is better
to admit as much and to decide to be happy in spite of it all.
     For the longest time, it seemed that life was about to start-real life.
     But there were always some obstacles (挫折) along the way, an ordeal (苦难) to get through, some
work to be finished, some time to be given, a bill to be paid. Then life would start. It finally occurred to
me that that those obstacles were part of life. Little by little, that point of view also helped me see that
there isn"t any road to happiness.
     Happiness is the road. So, enjoy every moment. And keep in mind that __________. So stop waiting
for school to end, for a return to school, to lose ten pounds, to gain ten pounds, for work to begin, to
get married, for Friday evening, for Sunday morning, waiting for a new car, for your mortgage (借款) to
be paid off, for spring, for summer, for fall, for winter, for the first or the fifteenth of the month, for your
song to be played on the radio, to die, to be reborn… before deciding to be happy.
     Happiness is a voyage, not a destination. There is no better time to be happy than… NOW! Live and
enjoy the moment!1. The most proper title for the passage should be______. A. Happiness is a Challenge  
B. Happiness is a Destination  
C. Happiness is a Dream   
D. Happiness is a Process 2. The first two paragraphs mainly tell us_______.A. life is a worthwhile but challenging voyage
B. so long as you believe you can, you can
C. people often think the future will be better than now

B. Time is money.
C. Tomorrow is another day.
D. Time can work wonders
