题型:不详难度:来源:
On the night of November 14, 1978,a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the United  States. All he knew was that he was on a plane heading for somewhere. The plane landed at  Kennedy International Airport, where he was greeted by a family. This young boy was me.
I have grown up in a town where there were few Asians, so I stuck out in the crowd. I  made friends quickly and they treated me just like anyone else. You may ask if anyone made  fun of my appearance. Well, of course, I met that" kind of person. I just shrugged it off.
As an adopted child, I have something that others don"t have. I have had the benefit of two  families. I"m lucky to have got a chance to start a new life. But we must try never to forget our  past. Someday I will go back to Korea to find out what kind of culture I left behind.
There is only one thing that I regret about being adopted. When I argue with my parents and they realize they are losing the argument, they sometimes wonder what I would be doing if  I were back in Korea. I don"t understand this because I thought the purpose of adopting  someone was to give them a better chance of growing up in a family. Some day when I am  older, I want to adopt a girl and raise her the way my parents have raised me, but I would do it  better, for I know what went well and what did not.  
小题1:We learn that when the writer was on the way to his new family,______.
A.he was with his own parents

核心考点
试题【On the night of November 14, 1978,a six-year-old Korean boy was flying to the Un】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
Mark Twain said that “habit is habit, and not to be flung(扔) out the window by anyone, but coaxed (劝诱)downstairs a step at a time.” The chances of successfully changing negative behavior        when you make gradual changes that give you time to        negative patterns for positive ones.
On any given day, countless numbers of us get out of bed and        to begin to change a given behavior “today.” Whether it be exercising more, drinking less, managing time        or some other change in a negative behavior, we start out with high       . In a short time, however, a vast majority of people fail and are soon doing        it was they thought they shouldn"t be doing.
After considerable research, some researchers believe that behavior changes usually do not        if they start with the change itself.       , they believe that we must        a series of “stages” to adequately prepare ourselves for that        change. Once you have analyzed all the factors that        what you do, you must decide which behavior-change technique will work best for you.
According to the psychologist Albert Ellis, most        problems and related behaviors arise from irrational (不理性的) statements that people make to        when events in their lives are different from what they would like them to be. For example, suppose alter doing        on an exam, you say to yourself, “I can"t believe I failed that easy exam, I’m so stupid.” By changing this irrational “catastrophic” self-talk into rational,        statements about what is really going on, you can increase the        that positive behaviors will occur.
Positive self-talk might be        as follows: “I really didn’t study enough for the exam. I just need to prepare for the next       .”
Such self-talk will help you to recover quickly from        and take positive steps to correct the situation. Some other technique like purposefully        or stopping negative thoughts and refusing to dwell on(沉湎于) negative images can also spare you wasted energy, time and emotional resources and move on to positive changes.

The other day when I was passing a clothing store, I fell in love with a skirt. I knew it would suit me best at first sight. But when I looked at the price tag (标签), I knew I had to give it up.
The love for beautiful clothes has been planted in my heart the day when I was born to be a woman. Several years ago I read an article in a magazine. The article stated that when a woman is at her best time, she is usually poor or tasteless, so she can’t get the right clothes; when she can afford to buy the clothes she likes, she often finds that they do not suit her anymore.
On the way home, I was quite disturbed by such thoughts. It was just a pity, like many other pities. I thought to myself this way. But when I was about to enter the building where I was living, I saw the big mirror placed in the entrance. I saw a girl in it who was in cheap but cleanly washed sweater and jeans. She was rather young, healthy and energetic. For quite a while I was touched by what I had seen in the mirror.
Then I almost forgot the tale: A person without shoes cried until he saw a man without feet. Being young without good clothes is like the person without shoes. I should have felt grateful that I haven’t lost my feet.
小题1:How did the author feel when she decided not to buy the skirt?
A.Embarrassed.B.Wise. C.Regretful.D.Relieved.
小题2:The underlined word “She” in Paragraph 3 refers to       .
A.the author’s friend B.a stranger
C.the author’s roommateD.the author
小题3:Why was the author touched by what she saw in the mirror?
A.She came to realize what she really possessed.
B.She was reminded of her devotion to beauty.
C.She didn’t feel at ease when looking into a mirror.
D.She never thought over the other side of a person.
小题4:We can learn from the text that the author considered her love for beautiful clothes as       .
A.funnyB.naturalC.sillyD.simple

When I was a law professor, a student reported that I made an error in grading his exam by giving him too many points. He was         and after thanking him for his honesty, I changed the          in my records. His beaming (欢笑的) face turned to         “You’re lowering my grade?” he said angrily. “I would never have come in          ……”
He didn’t finish the          but it was obvious that his display of honesty was false. He thought he’d have it all—praise and the          grade.
Several colleagues thought I should have let the higher grade stand        all I’d accomplished was to discourage him from being         in the future. And every time I tell this         , some people agree with this remark.
But I can’t see how I could give good          for worsening my mistake in grading by undermining (损害) the honesty of all my grades by failing to          an error. The grade itself would be a dishonest reflection of his          and it would have been         to other students. How could I possibly give a          a gift of an unearned grade?
I know voluntarily reporting an error in one’s favor is         , but, like          extra change, it’s the         thing to do. People with real honesty, hate to give up benefits as mush as anyone else. The difference is that for them a good conscience and reputation is reward enough to give reason for the cost of doing the right thing.
Perhaps         the student’s grade did discourage him from being honest in the future, but bribing (贿赂) him to be honest so that he does the right thing when it’s cost-free would have         him even more. The duty to be honest is         right and wrong, not risks and rewards.
