题型:不详难度:来源:

One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
“He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go ’” Diaz says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.”
The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, “Why are you doing this?”
Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me…..”
Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
“The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz says.
The kid said, “You know everybody here. Do you own this place?”
“No, I just eat here a lot,” Dias said. “But you’re even nice to the dishwasher,” he said.
Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.
When the bill arrived, Diaz said, “You’re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly treat you.”
The teen returned it immediately. “I gave him $20…. I figure maybe it’ll help him.” Diaz says he asked for something in return--- the teen’s knife--- “and he gave it to me.”
Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”
“I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”

答案

小题3:D
小题4:C
解析
文章讲述的是Diaz 在遇到一个少年对他进行抢劫时并没有粗暴的对待这个少年,反而请他吃饭,在这一过程中说服了那个少年抢劫犯放弃抢劫的念头的过程。
小题1:事实细节题。根据文章第五段可知。
小题2:判断推理题。根据文章倒数第三段,最终抢劫的孩子把钱还给了Diaz,并且把刀也给了他,说明那个孩子放弃了抢劫。
小题3:事实细节题。Diaz的妈妈在最后两段说的话就表明她很赞同他的做法。
小题4:判断推理题。还是根据文章的最后一段,加上对整个故事的叙述可以推断出作者写这个故事的目的就是想说明只有真诚对待别人,别人才会对你好。这就是这个复杂的世界的最简单的道理。

What the man in his kindness   11  was that the small cocoon and the  12__of the moth to get through the   13  opening was a way to push fluid (液体)   14  the body of moth   15   its wings so that it would be ready to fly   16  it got out of the cocoon. Freedom and    17  would come only after the struggle. By taking the struggle away, he also took away the moth’s health.
Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our lives. If we were to   18  our lives without any difficulties, we would become disabled. We would not be as    19  as what we could have been. Give every opportunity a chance. Leave no room for   20   .

I was  17 .No blame.No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
Mrs. White said, "Jane" s gone, and we miss her  18 .Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back.But Amy has her whole life ahead of her.How can she _19____ a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for her sister" s death?"

A group of graduates got together to visit their old university professor.

“Be assured that the cup   10  adds no quality to the coffee.   11  it is just more expensive and in some cases   12  hides what we drink.”
  13  all of you really want is coffee, not the cup,   14  you consciously went for the best cups… And then you began   15  each other’s cups.”
“Now consider this:   16  is the coffee; the jobs, money and position in society are the cups.   17  are just tools to hold and contain life, and the type of cup we have does not define, nor change the   18  of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we   19  to enjoy the coffee. Value the coffee, not the cups! Don"t let the cups   20  you… enjoy the coffee instead.”
