Nothing useful ever comes from comparison to others .Either you see yourself as better than someone and you get 26 , or you see someone else as better than you and you feel like all your hard work is for 27 . It is a fool’s game. Not one of us is exactly 28 . The only direct and honest comparison is 29 yourself. Everything else is apples to oranges.
My opinion is that you are only 30 to compare yourself to someone else if their life 31 is the same as your own. Good luck finding that 32 . And one thing is for sure. No matter how hard you work and how dedicated（埋头苦***）you are, there will always be someone who can run a little faster, jump a little higher, score a little better or look a little nicer in a swimsuit. And if there’s not, you can 33 someone is coming up fast 34 you. So how can you always win in life? Become your best 35 .
Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing to 36 you to the next level. If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today. Who 37 if the guy next to you did 15? It doesn’t make a bit of 38 . You are a more 39 person today than you were yesterday. Your own 40 is all you need.

试题分析：在一个比较无时无刻不存在的社会，人很难获得满足感，就这个问题作者提出了自己的观点：
即我们没必要和别人去比较，毕竟人与人不同，所处的环境不同，我们只需自己和自己去比较，用今天的
自己和昨天的自己去比较，只要取得丁点的进步，那我们就是成功的人。
小题1:C形容词辨析。A耐心的；B 严格的；C 满意的；D担心的。在文中作者建议人们不要和别人比，从情理可知和别人比较时，如果你不如别人你会对自己失望，不满意。故C选项正确。句意：看到自身外部并感到满意是很难的。
小题2:B形容词辨析。A. 强壮的；B. 更好的；C. 懒惰的；D.明智的。此处没有具体说明是在哪方面进行比较，所以只是笼统的说你会发现别人要比你好，而不具体到身体或者智力等方面，所以我们可以排除A，D选项，C选项为贬义词，故也可以排除，正确选项B。句意：总会有人比你更好一点。
小题3:A介词辨析。A内部，里面的；B外面；C 为了，因为；D向上；从下面的 inner yardstick“内在的尺度”可以判断应该是深入自己内心，根据华伦巴菲特所说的你自己内在的尺度去衡量自己。所以A选项正确。
小题4:A形容词辨析。A 精确的； B有用的；C 仔细的；D 强大的。从词义搭配上可知修饰名词衡量标准的词应该是精确，准确accurate。没有更为精确的衡量标准了。选项正确A。
小题5:B名词辨析。A 一端，尽头；B 最好（状态）；C 方便，便利；D 边，面。从情理可知人们要和自己过去比的话，应该是和过去最佳时期进行比较，而且文章中Having an image of your most recent past limits is the perfect thing…也是此处的一个提示，故正确答案是B。
小题6:D形容词辨析。A满意的；B 繁忙的； C受到激励的；D懒惰的。从上下文可知此处是讲和别人比较的坏处，所以排除A选项；当你看到自己比别人要强的时候，你会沾沾自喜，从而引发自身惰性，所以正确答案为D。
小题7:A短语搭配。A for nothing 免费的， 白费劲；B for fun 为了开心；C for sure 确信的；D成功。从情理可知当你看到别人比你好的时候，你会有挫败感，从而觉得自己的努力都白费了，故A选项正确。
小题8:C形容词辨析。A平等的；B 独特的；C 相似的；D常见的，共同的；上文说和别人去比那是傻子的游戏，所以文强调不要和别人去比，因为人和人不同。所以正确选项为C。
小题9:A介词辨析。A在。。。内；B通过，凭借；C 为了，因为；D 属于，关于。从文章第一段说明要和昨天的自己，上周的自己或者是10年前的自己去比较，用自己内在的衡量标准去衡量自己，所以在此应该是自己内在的比较，故A选项正确。
小题10:B 动词辨析。A 教导，指导；B允许；C 指挥，指导，指示；D 建议。在此作者是说出可以和别人相比较的情况 ，即允许自己和别人相比较的情况。句意：我的观点是你只可以与那些和你生活状况一样的人去比较。故B选项正确。
小题11:A名词辨析。A情形，局势；B位置，姿势；C 场合；D 住宿，住处。从常识可知和别人比较要在同等情况下进行比较，也就是生活情形相同的，否则没有可比性，life situation生活状况，其他词不和life构成搭配。所以A选项正确。
小题12:B名词辨析。A游戏；B 比赛，相匹配的人；C朋友；D 敌人。从上文可知和别人比较时要找情况相同的人作为比较对象，在此指的是一个你能与之相比而且情况类似的人。所以B选项正确。句意：找到那样一个相般配的人是太幸运了。
小题13:B动词辨析。A得出结论；B 打赌；C宣布；D 声明。从情理可知一个人不可能总是做的最好，即使现在没人比你强，肯定也有人在背后努力会超过你的，所以B选项正确。you can bet that。。意思为肯定，毫无疑问。
小题14:D介词辨析。A 在。。。之前；B在。。。旁边；C在。。。下方；D在。。。后面。从常理可知如果你比别人强的话，就会在某些方面落下别人，所以别人赶超你也应该是在你后面赶上来。故正确答案是D。
小题15:B动词辨析。A 助手；B 竞争者，对手；C 教练；D 教师。作者强调不要和别人去比，要自己和自己比，要让今天的自己超越昨天的自己，所以自己才是自己的对手，故B选项正确。
小题16:C动词辨析。A贡献，促成；B使。。。暴露；C推，鞭策；D致力于，奉献。从下文If you ran 7 flights of stairs yesterday, then do 8 today.昨天跑了七段楼梯那么今天就跑八段楼梯可知此处是给自己定下目标，鞭策自己进步，所以C选项正确。句意：自己心中有一个最近达到过的极限是最好的东西，它可以敦促自己朝下一个高度前进。
小题17:A动词辨析。A在乎，关心；B 说；C 疑惑，想知道；D问。从上文可知作者要人们做到自己一天比一天进步，而不去和别人比，不去在意别人的进步，所以A选项正确。句意：如果你旁边的小伙子跑了15段楼梯谁又在乎呢？
小题18:C名词辨析。A努力；B 感觉，意识；C不同，区别；D 变化，零钱。文章告诉我们的是：别人做的再好和我们毫无关系，我们只和自己去比较，所以即使你跑7段楼梯，别人跑15段那和我们一点关系都没有，Make a different意思为有关系，有影响；make a sense 有意义，行得通；make efforts 努力；make a change 做出改动，故正确答案为C。
小题19:A形容词辨析。A成功的；B高兴的，幸福的；C 幸运的；D 适合的。从上下文可知此处是指我们没必要去和别人比，去看别人的成绩，只要我们自己每天都在进步，那么我们就是一个成功的人，所以A选项正确。
小题20:B名词辨析。A 益处，好处；B进步，进展；C习惯；D 结果。从上文每天多跑一段楼梯可知此处是指进步，句意：你自己的进步就是你所需要的全部。故B选项正确。
核心考点
试题【In a world where comparisons happen non-stop, it is difficult to look outside yo】；主要考察你对题材分类等知识点的理解。[详细]
举一反三
It happened in February about twelve years ago．I had left school a couple of months before that and was not due to go to university until the following October．I was still living at home at the time．
One morning I was in Richmond, a suburb of London near where I lived．I was looking for a temporary job so that I could save up some money to go traveling．As it was a fine day and I was in no hurry, I was taking my time, looking in shop windows, strolling in the park, and sometimes just stopping and looking around me．It must have been this obvious aimlessness that led to my downfall．
It was about half past eleven when it happened．I was just walking out of the local library, having unsuccessfully sought employment there, when I saw a man walking across the road with the obvious intention of talking to me．I thought he was going to ask me the time．Instead, he said he was a police officer and he was arresting me．At first I thought it was some kind of joke
But then another policeman appeared, this time in uniform, and I was left in no doubt．
"But what for?" I asked
‘Wandering with intent to commit an arrestable offence," he said．
‘What offence?" I asked
"Theft," he said
"Theft of what?"I asked
"Milk bottles," he said, and with a perfectly straight face too!
"Oh," I said．
It turned out there had been a lot of petty thefts in the area, particularly that of stealing milk bottles from doorsteps．
Then I made my big mistake．At the time I was nineteen, had long untidy hair, and regarded myself as pan of the sixties" "youth counterculture"．As a result, I wanted to appear cool and unconcerned with the incident, so I said, "How long have you been following me? in the most casual and conversational tone I could manage．I thus appeared to them to be quite familiar with this sort of situation, and it confirmed them in their belief that I was a thoroughly disreputable （品行不端的） character．
A few minutes later a police car arrived．
"Get in the back," they said．"Put your hands on the back of the front seat and don"t move them．"
They got in on either side of me．It wasn"t funny any more．
At the police station they questioned me for several hours．I continued to try to look worldly and familiar with the situation．When they asked me what I had been doing, I told them I"d been looking for a job．"Aha," I could see them thinking, "unemployed"．
Eventually, I was officially charged and told to report to Richmond Magistrates" Court the following Monday．Then they let me go．
I wanted to conduct my own defense in court, but as soon as my father found out what had happened, he hired a very good solicitor （律师）．We went along that Monday armed with all kinds of witnesses, including my English teacher from school as a character witness．But he was never called on to give evidence．My "trial" didn"t get that far．The magistrate （法官） dismissed the case after fifteen minutes．1 was free．The poor police had never stood a chance．The solicitor even succeeded in getting costs awarded against the police．
And so I do not have a criminal record．But what was most shocking at the time was the things my release from the charge so clearly depended on．I had the "right" accent, respectable middle-class parents in court, reliable witnesses, and I could obviously afford a very good solicitor．Given the obscure nature of the charge．I feel sure that if I had come from a different background, and had really been unemployed, there is every chance that I would have been found guilty．While asking for costs to be awarded, my solicitor"s case quite obviously revolved （回转） around the fact that I had a "brilliant academic record"．
Meanwhile, just outside the courtroom, one of the policemen who had arrested me was gloomily complaining to my mother that another youngster had been turned against the police． "You could have been a bit more helpful when we arrested you," he said to me reproachfully （责备地）．
What did he mean? Probably that I should have looked outraged （暴怒）and said something like, "Look here, do you know who you"re talking to? I am a highly successful student with a brilliant academic record．How dare you arrest me!" Then they, probably, would have apologized perhaps even taken off their caps, and let me on my way．

Many nights, we take the same scenic drive to dinner at a favorite restaurant. As we travel along Gulf Shore Boulevard, we admire a combination of small beach apartments, swanky high-rises and spectacular homes.
A few years ago, we noticed that whenever we drive this particular route, there are always two men sitting in front of the same third-floor window of a low-rise apartment building that overlooks the road. All that is visible from the road are their two silhouettes. Even during off-peak months, they’ve always been there. Over the years, we’ve had great fun speculating about who they are, whether they’re having a drink, and if so, what they fancy, where they’re from, and what they might be discussing. Our guesses have become a modern form of car bingo. Widowers? Retirees? Partners? We’ve run through the gamut of possibilities.
Eventually, I started beeping the horn as we passed. We’d wave. Our new friends would do likewise. There was something comforting in seeing them. In a world of constant change, it has been nice to look up and see that they are there, just as we remember from our last visit. And then last spring, we drove by and they were missing. The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we drove by and they were missing The apartment was dark. No one was visible in the window. Strangely, we grew worried about two people we’d never even met. Where did they go? A new round of the guessing game began.
On our last trip at Christmastime, we were relieved to see them once again. We were driving past about 6 p.m., and there they were at cocktail hour. I told my wife that I suspected they were gin drinkers and said we should buy them a bottle. She said that if I bought it, she’d deliver it. I said, “Tomorrow.”
小题1:Driving along the scenic route, the author’s family were to .
| A．meet their friends there | B．visit the Florida town |
| C．appreciate a place of interest | D．have supper together |
| A．It was a pleasure for them to see the two men again. |
| B．It was his habit while driving along the special route. |
| C．It was an agreement between him and the two men. |
| D．It was for the sake of safety while driving. |
| A．generous and sensitive | B．curious and kind |
| C．helpful and brave | D．friendly and hurnorous |
| A．The two men’s favorite drinks. |
| B．The two men’s beach apartments |
| C．The reason of the two men’s absence |
| D．The author’s next visit to the town |
One day we noticed he had gained weight. We guessed he was enjoying snacks at the local takeaway shop bins and so we began to reduce the amount of his food. He didn’t seem to notice.
Some months later. we invited some new neighbours in for drinks. Not long into the evening, our new neighbor saw PJ sitting proudly on the window ledge. “You’ve got my cat!” She exclaimed, laughing.
We let her down gently, and learnt that at their house, PJ was known as Tiger. Thanks to them, he’d been receiving the royal treatment, including removing small insects from his body by spraying medicine. PJ continued living with us until a new cat and a new dog finally tested his patience. He walked out and was missing for ten days before my husband spotted him near his work. He brought our wandering cat home, but it was clear that PJ wasn’t happy. After shouting at him angrily, I let him out and he never returned.
A few months later, our new neighbour told us she’d seen PJ. It seems that an elderly neighbour had welcomed him into her home, and since taking up residence he’d doubled in size and been given his own sitting – room chair to lie. The two had become very fond of each other, ever since he’d followed her home. What a smart cat.
小题1:By exclaiming “You’ve got my cat,” the neighbour implied that .
| A．she admitted the eat belonged to that author |
| B．the author had stolen the lovely eat PJ |
| C．she was surprised at seeing the cat there |
| D．she was very angry with the author |
| A．The cat PJ | B．the author’s husband |
| C．a new neighbour | D．a neighbour’s husband |
| A．the cat had visited all the neighbours before leaving |
| B．the author found the cat had gained some weight |
| C．The author couldn’t provide the cat with medical care |
| D．the neighbours loved the cat PJ very much |
When Teresa，a widow with four young children，saw a notice from her church for all members to gather to deliver presents and food to a 16 family，she took $10 out of her savings jar and bought some ingredients to make three dozen 17 ．She got to the church parking lot just in time to join the convoy going to the home that was to 18 the people’s help．
The route was 19 ，and she was astonished when the cars pulled up in front of her house．When the pastor saw her，he said，“ We 20 expected you to join us ,
Teresa．We know it’s been a great 21 since your husband died，and we all wanted
to 22 you．”
Although she was 23 being the object of charity，Teresa didn’t want to 24 anyone so she 25 said，“ Well，at least I can share these cookies with our 26 ．”
This parable teaches us that no one is too 27 to help others and that true charity is rooted in love and compassion． 28 of spirit is worse than economic distress．Teresa’s story 29 us that very few of us give as much as we could and should．
My friend Larry Rosen，president of the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles
30 me to the concept of “ sacrificial giving”— 31 in a large quantity up to a
point where one must 32 something that is desired．
You can start out easy．Take whatever 33 you are thinking of giving to charity，then 34 it．If that’s too much, increase it by 50 percent instead．The 35 is to stretch yourself．It will mean a lot to those you help，but it will mean as much to your heart．
