核心考点
试题【 My father got his first job at eleven years old. cleaning up the garbage outsid】;主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
My brother-in-law opened the bottom drawer of my sister’s bureau(衣橱)and picked out a wonderful skirt. “Jan bought this the first time we went to New York, at least 8 or 9 years ago .She never wore it. She was saving it for a special occasion.” Well, I guess this is the occasion.
He took the skirt from me and put it on the bed. His hands touched the soft material for a moment, then he shut the drawer and turned to me, “Don’t ever save anything for a special occasion. Every day you’re alive is a special occasion.”
I’m still thinking about his words, and they’ve changed my attitude to life. I’m spending more time with my family and friends and less time in committee meetings. Whenever possible, life should be a pattern of experience to enjoy, not suffer. I’m trying to recognize these moments now and treasure them.
“Someday” and “one of these days” are being lost from my vocabulary. If it’s worth seeing or hearing or doing, I want to see and hear and do it now . I’m not sure what my sister would have done if she had known she wouldn’t have tomorrow.
I think she would have called family members and a few close friends. She might have called a few former friends to apologize and mend her fences for past things. I like to think she would have gone out for a Chinese dinner, her favorite food.
If I knew that my hours were limited, those little things left undone would make me angry. Angry because I put off seeing good friends whom I was going to get in touch with someday. Angry and sorry because I didn’t tell my husband and daughter often enough how much I truly love them.
I’m trying very hard not to put off, hold back, or save anything that would add laughter to our lives. And every morning when I open my eyes, I tell myself that every day, every minute, and every breath truly, is…a gift from God.
小题1:What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Every day is a gift
B.My poor sister
C.Value friendship every day
D.Every day is an important occasion
小题2:Jan bought the wonderful skirt but didn’t wear it, because(   )
A.She wanted to wear it on special occasions
B.She kept it as a special gift for someone else
C.She saved it until she grew older
D.She wanted to keep it as a sweet memory
小题3:Which of the following is not the writer’s attitude to life?
A.Spending more time staying with family every day.
B.Attending social activities as often as possible
C.Enjoying life and valuing every day.
D.Trying to get along well with friends

Nobody likes home economics (家政学). But restoring the program could help us in the fight against obesity and chronic (慢性的) diseases today.
The home economics movement was founded on the belief that housework and food preparation were important subjects that should be studied scientifically. The first classes occurred in the agricultural and technical colleges that were built in the 1860s. When most departments of universities rejected women, home economics was a back door into higher education.
Indeed, in the early 20th century, home economics was a serious subject When few people understood germ (微生物) theory and almost no one had heard of vitamins, home economics classes offered vital information about washing hands regularly, eating fruits and vegetables and not feeding coffee to babies.
However, today we remember only the fixed ideas about home economics, forgetting the movement’s most important lessons on healthy eating and cooking. Too many Americans simply don’t know how to cook. Our diets, consisting of highly processed foods made cheaply outside the home, have contributed to many serious health problems. In the last decade, many cities and states have tried to tax junk food heavily or to ban the use of food stamps (食品券) to buy soda. Clearly, many people are doubtful about any governmental steps to promote healthy eating. But what if the government put the tools of obesity prevention in the hands of children themselves by teaching them how to cook?
My first experience with home economics happened two decades ago when I was a seventh grader in a North Carolina public school. A year later, my father’s job took our family to Wales, where I attended a large school for a few months. It was the first time I had ever really cooked anything. I remember that it was fun, and with an instructor standing by, it wasn’t hard. Those lessons stuck with me when I first started cooking for my husband and myself after college and they still do. Teaching cooking in public schools can help solve some problems facing Americans today. The history of home economics shows it’s possible.
小题1:Home economics______.
A.is a subject becoming more and more popular with Americans
B.is often used to help fight against obesity and chronic diseases
C.once offered women a. special approach to university education
D.was first taught in the agricultural and technical colleges in the early 1900s
小题2:The third paragraph mainly tells us______ .
A.the importance of regular hand washing
B.the health benefits of fruits and vegetables
C.the contents of home economics classes in the early 20th century
D.the significance of teaching home economics in the early 20th century
小题3: In the opinion of the author, how should we fight against childhood obesity?
A.Children should be taught how to cook.
B.A heavy tax should be put on junk food
C.Healthy eating should be promoted at school
D.Using food stamps to buy soda should be banned
小题4:What does the author imply in the last paragraph?
A.Her family moved frequently in her childhood.
B.Cooking classes have a far-reaching influence on her later life.
C.To receive a better education, she went to a large school in Wales.
D.Teaching cooking is the key to solving Americans’ health problems.

Do you know some people who just have all the luck? They seem to get all the       and you ask yourself: “Why don’t I get    ? Why don’t I get a great education?” But the real reason why most people are successful or lucky is that they’ve learned how to       themselves in a place so they can be lucky. They’ve learned how to, in a way,       their own luck!

He even shared the credit and reward with others       he had done much of the work. He was never satisfied just to get       and do average work. He always       the extra effort to do his very best.
We have to work hard and do what it      to be on the way to luck and success when it comes.        , weMI miss it because we aren’t ready. You never know when the right opportunity will come your way, and when the right, important person is watching your excellent        and work. That’s when you’ll get your lucky break!

Dreaming is a natural part of who we are. We explore our dreams and develop personal dreams. We even like to dream BIG!
For the most part our dreams and wishes focus on the end result. We see ourselves in love, married, driving a great car, on vacation, with tons of money, in a great career, etc. Dreaming about the end result is just fantasizing and wishing. Wishing relies on some magical force to make our dreams turn into reality, and we become unhappy as we’re not living(实现) our dreams.
So how can we make our dreams come true? That is a question we all often struggle with. Even though we struggle with the answer, the answer is not that clear. We make our dreams come true with the action we take.
In my opinion, if you dream about being in good health, then change your dream to see yourself working out and eating right day by day. See the beginning of the dream and let the dream build day by day with all the action that gets you to the end dream of you being in good health.
If you want riches, then change the dream. Dream of yourself going to school, developing a career, working hard and taking the steps to arrive at the destination. If you want love, love the process. Love the dating process(过程). Love yourself and the journey to find love.
Make all your dreams include the beginning, middle and end. Then when you are doing the action instead of thinking to yourself, “This is a drag. I don’t like working out,” or if you are having any negative thoughts about doing the work it takes to create your visions(梦幻), realize then that every step of the way you are living your dream. You are living your dream because you made the action and journey part of your dream.
小题1:According to the writer, most of the people____.
A.pay more attention to developing their dreams
B.enjoy the process of their dreams
C.are always ignoring the process of living their dreams
D.probably dream of making much more money easily
小题2:In order to live our dreams, we must____.
A.struggle with dreams day and night.
B.have great wishes and thoughts.
C.have magical forces every night.
D.take action or steps.
小题3: If you want to keep fit,______
A.you’d better dream a sweet dream first.
B.you must love the process of the journey.
C.you would rather begin with your diet and exercise.
D.you should have a good beginning first.
小题4: what can be inferred from the last paragraph?
A.It’s important to focus on your final result.
B.Good mind and action can help you live your dream.
C.Think to yourself while living your dream.
D.Creating your visions comes first.
