After a long day at school, I walked home with my heavy schoolbag . By the time I got home, I was sweaty, 16 and hungry. I threw my things on the couch and grabbed something from the kitchen to 17 .

核心考点
试题【After a long day at school, I walked home with my heavy schoolbag . By the time 】；主要考察你对
题材分类等知识点的理解。
[详细]举一反三
Goals can help you do，be and experience everything you want in life．Instead of just letting life happen to you，goals allow you to make your life happen．
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed．By setting goals you are taking control of your life．It’ s like having a map to show you where you want to go．Think of it this way．There are two drivers．One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map．She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns．The other driver has no goal or destination or map．She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver，but she drives without an aim around，never getting anywhere，just using up gas and oil．Which driver do you want to be？
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them．Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals．Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident．Goals aren’t difficult to set―and they aren’t difficult to reach．It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals（理想）really are．
Research tells us that when we write a goal down，we are more likely to achieve．Written goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power．Like a contract with yourself，they are harder to neglect（忽视）or forget．Also when you write your goals in a particular way，you are able to make yourself continuously alert（警觉）to situations that will further your goals．
小题1:The writer gave the example of two drivers to show__________．| A．how stupid the first driver was | | B．the importance of having a map and right direction | | C．how stupid the second driver was | | D．the importance of setting goals |
小题2:According to the passage，successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because
_________．| A．the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others | | B．the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves | | C．the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out | | D．the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard |
小题3:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？| A．Goals can make you gain everything you want in life. | | B．Only successful people can be happy. | | C．If you want to succeed，you need to set long-term goals instead of short-term Goals. | | D．When we put our goal down on papers，we are more likely to succeed. |
小题4:Which is the best title for the passage?| A．Goals help you succeed | B．How to succeed | | C．Why we always fail | D．A research on setting goals |

I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand．All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap．They did not make me happy, however, as tins was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time．I tried in vain lo convince him that I did nothing wrong all the way, but it didn’t help．
When we．arrived at the sate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls．I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him．"Be a man, "he said．"today you truly begin your life．You will find me waiting for you when it’s time to leave．"
I took a few steps．Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view．I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me．I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way．But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, " Who brought you? "
"My father," I whispered．
’’My father’s dead, " he said simply．
I did not know what to say．The gate was now closed．Some of the children burst into tears．The bell rang．A lady came along, followed by a group of men．The men began soiling us into ranks．We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings．
Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis．From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls．I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences．
We played all sorts, of games．In the music room we sang our first songs．We also had our first introduction to language．We saw a globe of Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries．We started lean-line numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe．We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning．
Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded．We had to be observant and patient．It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around． Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting．And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold．Even more frequently
she would resort to physical punishment．
The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work．The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again．I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate．I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there．I stepped aside to wait.

I was packed and ready to leave for my two days’ trip. My mind had been filled with work and with so many small things to deal with. As I got into the car to leave, my thoughts turned to my children. I’d been preparing for the trip for the last few days, and now I’d be away for a few days.
How to keep in touch with you r kids during busy time is often a father’s problem. Men tend to focus on one thing extremely well for long periods, but this can lead to trouble. Shifting(移开) from work to your family life isn"t always the easiest thing to do. And if you don’t show your kids that you’re thinking about them, they may think that you are not.
As I started down the road, I suddenly stopped the car and turned around. I drove back to my house, found a couple of cards, and wrote a short message to each of my children. I put each in a “secret” place where I knew they’d find it.
When I called the next night, it was clear that they’d received the cards. “Daddy, I got your card,” they both said excitedly. “When did you do that?”
My heart was warmed when I heard this. It was such a small thing. But it had a big impact(影响) on my kids. It was their “proof” that I was thinking about them. And it was encouragement for me to continue to do the small things that have a big impact.
小题1: From the passage we can infer that the author thinks a father should _____ _.| A．care for his kids, no matter how busy he is | | B．have a big impact on his kids | | C．spend some time playing with his kids | | D．stay at home as long as possible |
小题2:Before leaving for the trip the author considered ________.| A．preparing some food for the trip | | B．buying some nice gifts for his children | | C．doing something to show his concern for his kids | | D．telling his children to be careful at home |
小题3:The author’s kids were excited when they answered the phone because _______.| A．their father had thought highly of them | | B．they had found the cards from their father | C．they had done  something good at home | | D．their father told them he would be back soon |
小题4:What does the underlined word “that” in the fourth paragraph refer to?| A．Packing luggage. | | B．Reaching the hotel. | | C．Writing short messages. | | D．Going back home. |

After 21 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner. 36 woman was my mother, who has been a widow for 19 years, but my work had made 37 impossible to visit her very often. That night I called to 38 her to go out for dinner.“What’s wrong? Are you 39 ?”she asked. “I thought that it would be 40 to spend some time with you. Just the two of us,”I answered. She thought about it 41 moment, and agreed.
That Friday after work, 42 I drove to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I 43 that, she, too, seemed to be 44 about our date. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to 45 her last wedding anniversary.
We went to a restaurant that, 46 not elegant, was very nice and cozy. When I read the menu, Mom sat there 47 at me. A nostalgic(怀旧的)smile was 48 her lips. During the dinner, we had a(an) 49 conversation—nothing special but catching up on(了解)recent events of each other’s life.
A few days 50 , my mother died of a heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance to do 51 for her. Sometime later, I received an envelope with a note 52 “You will never know what that night meant to me. I’m looking forward to the 53 dinner. I love you, Son.”
At that moment, I understood the importance of saying in time“I LOVE YOU”. Nothing in life is more important than your 54 . Give them the time they deserve, because these things cannot be 55 till“some other time”.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and p lace. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
小题1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.| A．a friend who is ill | B．a ma n working at his desk | | C．a person having lost a close friend | D．a stranger who looks somewhat worried |
小题2:G eorge Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.| A．cheerfulness | B．cleverness | C．ability | D．politeness |
小题3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____. | A．made him laugh | B．shown concern for him | | C．made fun of him | D．given him some kind of warning |
