题型:不详难度:来源:
I was eleven years old, waiting for my exam at Saraswati Vidyalaya, my school in Nagpur. “No. 12, please come forward.” Kirti, a very fat girl from my class, stepped ahead. I heard my classmates laughing and so I tried to stop them with my eyes. But my good intentions were mistaken. The next morning, my teacher, Mrs. Kamble, told me, “Ashwini, I’ve received a complaint about you.” I was shocked. The girl I was protecting thought I’d been laughing at her.
I tried to explain but the teacher refused to hear me out. She punished me by making me stand by the door. I knew I was right. Such punishment to a class topper was simply unheard of. But, slowly, my pride disappeared. Instead of being angry, I understood the other students who have been punished at times. For the first time, I felt humbled (谦逊的).
Three years later, I was in the math class. Mr. Prabhuraman, wrote an equation (方程式) — one he’d taught us the day before — on the blackboard. “Anyone who doesn’t know how to solve this,” he said, “please leave the class at once.” I knew I could solve only the first two steps. But my pride made me stay there. Unfortunately, the one who was asked to solve it was me. I just stood there, chalk in hand, trying not to look foolish. I prepared myself for a good talking-to (斥责), but Mr. Prabhuraman told me kindly, “Go back to your seat.”
Today, two decades later, those incidents have made me think. One teacher punished me for something I didn’t do; the other forgave me for something I did wrong. Both experiences had an effect on me. They remind me that no matter what you accomplish (完成), you must always be humble.

A.said nothing about it B.was disappointed

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn"t move. What was the  36  was that he found himself unable to ask for help ------ his mobile phone went out of   37__ as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but  38__ in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the  39 of rescue.
It is almost  40__ that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his  41_ ,“First of all I checked up my  42  condition and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no  43  to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from  44  . In this way I fell lightly asleep. ”
His story put an end to my regret for the  45  of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men  46  to explore a mountain cave and got lost.  47_ to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of  48  . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the  49  people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the  50  of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to  51   themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering ( 闪烁 ) far away.
Don"t you think that you can compare it with  52  itself ? When you meet with difficulties in life, you are   53  in darkness. Mind you it"s unclear yet and you needn"t put up struggle  54  . It seems to be a negative attitude,  55    a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as great courage in the first place.

“Our aim is to take our art to the world and make people understand what it is to move,” said David Belle, the co­founder of parkour (跑酷).
Do you love running? It is a good exercise, yet many people find it boring. But what if making your morning jog a creative one?Like jumping from walls and over gaps and ground rolls? Just like the James Bond in the movie Casino Royale? Bond jumps down from a roof to a windowsill and then runs several blocks over obstacles on the way. It is just because of Bond"s wonderful performances that the sport has become popular worldwide.
Yes, that"s parkour, an extreme street sport aimed at moving from one point to another as quickly as possible, getting over all the obstacles in the path using only the abilities of the human body. Parkour is considered an extreme sport. As its participants dash around a city, they may jump over fences, run up walls and even move from rooftop to rooftop.
Parkour can be just as exciting and charming as it sounds,but its participants see parkour much more than that.
Overcoming all the obstacles on the course and in life is part of the philosophy (哲理) behind parkour. This is the same as life. You must determine your destination, go straight, and jump over all the barriers as if in parkour and never fall back from them in your life, to reach the destination successfully. A parkour lover said,“I love parkour because its philosophy has become my life, my way to do everything.”
Another philosophy we"ve learnt from parkour is freedom. It can be done by anyone, at any time, anywhere in the world. It is a kind of expression of trust in yourself that you earn energy and confidence.
小题1:Parkour has become popular throughout the world because of ________.
A.its co­founder, David Belle
B.the film, Casino Royale
C.its risks and tricks
D.the varieties of participants
小题2:The underlined word “obstacles” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to “________”.
A.streetsB.objectsC.barriersD.roofs
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE of parkour?
A.It challenges human abilities.
B.It is a good but boring sport.
C.It needs special training.
D.It is a team sport.
小题4:Which of the following is the philosophy of parkour?
A.Sports and extremes.
B.Excitement and popularity.
C.Dreams and success.
D.Determination and freedom.

I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A man was seeking his community votes, and people   36  wanted to know why they should give him their   37 . He took them to his house and on every   38   in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of   39   to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. He said, “My dad often   40  me to believe that as long as you have   41 , you should have faith. Every time you look in to the mirror, you’re looking at yourself and see ‘Faith’. ”
The   42   I learned from this is simple — faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all   43   given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get   44  ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will   45  ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might   46   that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t   47   it was faith. Daily   48  , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
Faith   49  hearing and doing. I made a decision yesterday — to   50  reading the newspaper full of too much sad and   51  news. Why? Because I   52  there was a drop of my mental state after reading the newspapers.
Faith, when it’s put to   53 , becomes a beautiful thing, It lifts your mental state to a higher place that   54  you to raise yourself up and declare, “Yes we can.” So make the decision today to strengthen your faith by   55  it.

I think that the most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most 36 thing we ever give to each other is our attention (注意力). Especially if it’s 37  from the heart. When people are talking, there’s no need to do 38  but receive them. Listen to what they’re saying. Care about it. Most times  39   about it is even more important than understanding it.
One of my patients told me that when she tried to tell her story, people often 40     to tell her that they once had something just 41  that happened to her. Her pain became a story about 42 . So, finally she stopped 43  to most people because she just felt too lonely. When we interrupt what someone is 44  to let them know that we understand, we 45  the  focus of attention to ourselves. But if we just 46 , they know we care. Many people with cancer can talk about the relief (宽慰) of having someone just listen.
I have 47  learned to respond to someone crying by just listening. I 48  that passing a person a tissue (面巾纸) may be just another 49  to shut them down and take them out of their experience of 50 . Now I just listen. When they have 51  all they need to cry, they find me there with them.
This 52  thing has not been that easy to learn. It certainly went against everything I had been taught since I was very 53 . I thought people listened only 54   they were too shy to speak or did not know the 55 . A loving silence often has far more power to heal than words.
