题目
题型:不详难度:来源:
You wake up in the morning,the day is beautiful and the plans for the day are what you have been looking forward to for a long time. Then the telephone rings,you say hello, and the drama starts.The person on the other end has a depressing tone in his voice as he starts to tell you how terrible his morning is and that there is nothing to look forward to.You are still in a wonderful mood? Impossible!
Communicating with negative people can wash out your happiness.It may not change what you think,but communicating long enough with them will make you feel depressed for a moment or a long time.
Life brings ups and downs,but some people are stuck in the wrong idea that life has no happiness to offer.They only feel glad when they make others feel bad.No wonder they can hardly win others’ pity or respect.
When you communicate with positive people,your spirit stays happy and therefore more positive things are attracted.When the dagger(匕首) of a negative person is put in you,you feel the heavy feeling that all in all,brings you down.
Sometimes we have no choice but to communicate with negative people.This could be a co-worker,or a relative.In this case,say what needs to be said as little as possible. Sometimes it feels good to let out your anger back to the negative person,but all this does is to lower you to that same negative level and they won’t feel ashamed of themselves about that.
Negativity often affects happiness without even being realized.The negative words of another at the start of the day can cling to(附着) you throughout the rest of your day,which makes you feel bad and steals your happiness.Life is too short to feel negative.Stay positive and avoid negativity as much as possible.

Last year.I took a sightseeing trip to Washington, DC.I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended.Immediately, I pulled out all of my change and placed it on her hand without even looking at her.But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money.I just need help finding the post office.”
In an instant, I realized what I had done.I acted with prejudice―I judged another person simply for what I assumed she had to be.I hated what I saw in myself.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant.I left Honduras and arrived in the US at the age of 15.I started my new life with two suitcases, my brother and sister.Through the years, I have been a doorkeeper, cashier and pizza delivery driver among many other humble(卑微的)jobs, and eventually I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced prejudice.I remember a time―at the age of 17―when I was a busboy, I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well in school, he would end up like me.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am, where I have been ,and to lose sight of where I want to be going.That blind woman on the streets cured me of my blindness.She reminded me of my belief in humility(谦虚).By the way, I helped that lady to the post office.I hope to thank her for the priceless lesson.
小题1:How did the writer give the blind woman money?
A.In a modest wayB.In a polite way
C.In an impatient way.D.In a painful way
小题2:According to the text, the writer__________.
A.still lives a poor life    
B.was busy with his work
C.was born in Honduras  
D.was a native of Washington D.C.
小题3:According to the text, the author most probably agrees that one should__________.
A.be nice to the elderly and the disabled
B.try to experience different kinds of culture
C.treat others equally with love and respect
D.think about one’s past as often as possible
小题4:What would be the best title of the text?
A.A priceless lesson B.An act of prejudice
C.A sightseeing trip D.A humble moment

The Girl with the Cut - out Face
When I was a child, I often looked through a family album. I remember asking my mother why there was a   36  cut out of a photo of a little girl. But it was   37  that my mother did not want to talk about it.
  38  I looked at the album I saw that cut - out face and   39  about it. I figured there was something   40  . When I was grown up and had almost   41  about the photo, my mother must have realized I should know her   42  . She sat me down one day and said, “That cat - up photo is   43  your Aunt Anna. She has schizophrenia(精神分裂症).”
But why did my mother never   44  this before? I still didn’t understand. “Because people are… were…  45  of having mental illness in the family” was the   46  . But I wanted to meet Aunt Anna, and I   47 .
My mother and I traveled to the house   48   Anna lived with an Italian family. Anna looked like a question mark on legs,   49  she had lovely, clear eyes and a gentle manner. I could see the   50  to my mother. “So nice to meet you,” she said to me. “Do you have a trunk (象鼻;行李箱)?”
Did she think that I was an elephant? No, she wanted to run   51  and hide in the trunk of my car. The family that   52  her said that she always wanted to   53 .
The last time I saw Anna she was placed in a smaller old - age facility in Brooklyn.
  54  Aunt Anna, I’m not the least bit ashamed of you. I’m   55  about you now for many to see, with your sweet young face showing under a pretty bow.
And you finally found that escape you were seeking.
