What I Think of Boxing as a Sport

Boxing is a popular sport.Newspapers, magazines and sports programmes on TV frequently cover boxing matches.It could be the toughest of all sports to survive.It takes boxers hours in the gym and years to develop the specific characteristics needed to be a great boxer.____1.____

It seems to me that some people, especially men, find it appealing because it is an aggressive sport.When they watch a boxing match, they can identify with the winning boxer.This gives them the feeling of being a winner themselves.____2.____ They do that because the boxer comes from their own country, and if “their” boxer loses, they often feel as if they have lost a fight themselves.It is a fact that many people have feelings of aggression from time to time, but they cannot show their aggression in their everyday lives.Watching a boxing match gives them a way of expressing it.

____3.____ Although boxers wear gloves during the fights, and amateur boxers even have to wear helmets, a kind of strong hard hat, there have frequently been accidents in both professional and amateur boxing, sometimes with dramatic consequences.Boxers have suffered from head injuries, and, occasionally, fighters have even been killed as a result of being knocked out in the ring.___4.____ They are usually in the form of serious brain damage, even if a boxer has never been knocked out.

To conclude, I am personally not at all in favor of aggressive sports like boxing.____5.___ We can celebrate more men and women from non-aggressive sports as our heroes in our society.I believe that the world is aggressive enough already! Of course, people like competitive sports, and so do I, but I think that hitting other people in an aggressive way is not something that should be regarded as a sport.

A. However, boxing can be a very dangerous sport.

B. Sometimes fans are rooting for a particular boxer.

C. In boxing, fighters are required to hit a moving target.

D. Many fans are drawn to the sport because they love the competition.

E. Perhaps that is the reason why successful boxers are treated as big heroes.

F. I think it would be better if less time was given to aggressive sports on TV.

G. Besides, studies have shown that there are often long-term effects of boxing.

I have two sons.They are as different as night and day.My youngest is sweet, loveable, easy-going, and finds joy in everything.My oldest we’ve nicknamed the “Evil Genius” is ambitious, self-confident, and suffers no fools.
Whenever we mentioned Santa my husband and I were rewarded with major eye rolling and deep sighs from my oldest.At first we both tried to ignore it.
We both knew that our eldest had figured out the big secret.But I’d be damned(指責(zé)) if he was going to ruin it for his six-year-old brother who had plenty of Santa-loving years ahead of him.I looked at my husband in the eye and said, “I’ll handle this.” to which he responded “Okay just be careful because I’m not sure he knows - he might just be acting like it.” But I knew.And I had it in my mind that he was about to break his younger brothers spirit and break the news to him.I was afraid he was going to take the Christmas spirit away from my sweet innocent youngest and stamp all over it.I had to protect him.I needed to control this now before it got out of control.I rushed into the play room where my oldest was playing alone.I looked him dead in the eyes and said: “Well you know Santa isn’t real, right?” And as I stared at my eight-year-old son for what seemed like a long time of silence, his eyes started to fill with tears. And a tear dropped down his cheek when he screamed out, “He’s not?”
“Um well it’s not that he’s not real (shut up you idiot- stop saying he’s not real), but he doesn’t really make and deliver all the toys.Dad and I get some of them for you.So he’s real.He’s just got a little help from us.”
The Evil Genius wasn’t buying it.He just sat there looking at me with an expression of doubt.
You know when you make a terrible mistake but you can’t stop yourself from making it worse? That was me because I just had to know.I had to know why he had seemed to be over Santa. So I asked him why he rolled his eyes and sighed every time his father and I mentioned Santa, to which he replied that kids at school had been saying Santa wasn't real but that he still thought he was.
1.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Two different sons
B. Santa secret given away
C. Protecting one, ruining the other
D. Making a mistake worse
2.What did the writer conclude when “Evil Genius” rolled his eyes and sighed?
A. “Evil Genius” had discovered Santa was not real.
B. “Evil Genius” had broken the secret to his younger brother.
C. “Evil Genius” had passed his Santa-loving years.
D. “Evil Genius” had been influenced by his classmates.

A. “Evil Genius” refused to buy toys.
B. “Evil Genius” didn’t believe his mother’s words.
C. “Evil Genius” wanted to keep silent.
D. “Evil Genius” would not give away the secret.

Disability aids are vital to those who suffer problems with executing work with two hands.These are people who have been disabled due to some major sickness or some other problems.In order to help them carry on their work in the normal way, disability aids are manufactured.This helps them make their life a lot easier than what it would have been without these aids.The kind of disability aids that an individual might require depends on the person only.It is the problem that a person faces that decides the aids that he/she will use for carrying out their respective jobs.The following is the list of a few disability aids that come of significant use.

The first and foremost aid is the stocking aid, aiding the individuals suffering from the problem of bending down to reach the foot and wear their own socks.These stocking aids have a gutter(槽) that is made up of plastic material.These gutters are shaped in a certain way along with the attachment of cotton tapes in it.The sock is then put over the gutter.The foot is placed inside the gutter.The cotton tapes help in pulling the socks up the leg and subsequently the sock.In this manner, the sock is worn by a person who has problems wearing it by bending one’s back and reaching the foot.

There are openers that help the people who have problems with their hands or wrists to open bottles of ketchup, jam and other such bottles and jars that necessitates the use of hands and fingers.

The third type of disability aids that comes to our minds are lifts.Now what are lifts? Lifts are certain machines that help in lifting people from specific areas, such as a bathtub or a set of stairs.These lifts are of varied types and come for numerous applications.It is for the individual to decide the type that he/she requires to use.

For people, who have problems in balancing their upper bodies in a stable manner, there is something known as grab rails.These grab rails are installed for those who have mobility problems in their upper bodies.These rails come in varieties of shapes, sizes and angles.These grab rails are available to home users as well, in their different variations.One can purchase and fix one to their homes according to one’s specificities.These grab rails require the act of screwing and drilling in order to fix them to their appropriate place.The prices of these rails also vary according to the variation of their shapes and sizes.

A portable book holder is a much sought-after disability aid.It can be used by anybody for that matter, not just the disabled.These portable book holders are light-weight and can be easily moved about.These holders relieve the strains on one’s hands, necks and shoulders that might occur due to the handling of a book.The holders are provided with extended legs that help in placing the reading material at suitable distance.

Thus with the help of these disability aids, the old and disabled people can make their lives much more convenient and comfortable that would otherwise have been a cumbersome and complex one.

科目:高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源:2016屆福建省高三上學(xué)期第三次月考英語(yǔ)試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文,從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中(A、B、C和D),選出最佳選項(xiàng),并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A

Britons may like to complain a lot, but they rarely do so right now, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis. They would rather grumble (發(fā)牢騷) afterward. This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause any embarrassment. Margolis writes, “For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff. But beware: if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed.”

In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons.

● Not making introductions

Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking to strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”. Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties. Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves.

● “Quite” good

Using “quite” to mean “very” happens a lot in the US. But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain, don't describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise. To Britons’ ears, “quite” detracts from the “good”: the meal was OK but could have been better.

● Money Talk

Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable. For Britons, says Margolis, “Talking about how much we make is unthinkable — even 1ess so than discussing our feelings.”

● Over-politeness

“It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude. But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who's been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis. In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”. But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating.

1.Margolis’ dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.

A. Britons are particular about foods

B. Britons are not good at complaining

C. Americans usually complain directly

D. Americans complain more than Britons

2.Which of the following might Margolis agree with?

A. Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.

B. Americans introduce themselves at parties.

C. Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.

D. Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.

3.The underlined phrase “detracts from” in the text probably means ____.

A. differs greatly from

B. increases the quality of

C. reduces the strength of

D. draws attention away from

4.What does the text mainly talk about?

A. How to get on well with westerners.

B. How to start conversations with Britons.

C. Ruth Margolis’ tips on public behavior.

D. Some American habits that annoy Britons.

Steps to Retire as a Millionaire

Having a million-dollar savings is a retirement dream for many people.Making that dream come true requires some serious efforts.While success is never a sure thing,the steps outlined below will go a long way toward helping you achieve your objective.

1.Vacations,cars,kids and all of life's other expenses take a big chunk(大塊) out of your paycheck.To maximize your savings,you need to minimize your expenses.Buying a home you can afford and living a lifestyle that is below your means and not funded by credit cards are all necessities if you want to boost your savings.

2.If you don't save,you'll never reach your goal.Obvious as this might seem,far too many people never even start to save.If your employer offers a 401(k) plan (一種養(yǎng)老保險(xiǎn)),simply sign up for the plan and contributions will be automatically taken out of your paycheck,increasing your savings and decreasing your taxes.It's like getting a guaranteed return on your investment.Finding the cash to stash (隱藏起)may be a challenge,particularly when you're young,but don't let that stop you from pursuing future riches.

3.If you are looking to grow your wealth over time,fixed income isn't likely to get the job done,and inflation (通貨膨脹) can take a big chunk out of your savings.Investing in equities (股票) may have more risk,but is also statistically likely to lead to greater returns.For many of us,it's a risk we have to take if want to see our wealth grow.

4.Part of long-term planning involves accepting the idea that setbacks will occur.If you are not prepared,these setbacks can put a stop to your savings efforts.While you can't avoid all of the bumps in the road,you can prepare in advance to reduce the damage they can do.

5.Your income should rise as time passes.You'll get raises,you'll change jobs,and maybe you'll get married and become a two-income family.Every time more cash comes in to your pocket,you should increase the amount that you save.The key to reaching your goal as quickly as possible is to save as much as you can.

A. Watch Your Spending.

B. Prepare for Rainy Days.

C. Start Saving.

D. Get Aggressive.

E. Save More.

F. Set the Goal.

G. Have patience.

We are forgetful. With time going by, our brains seem to be slowing down—and that can be a very unpleasant thing. 1. Read on for some techniques worth trying.

1. 2.

People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性癡呆癥), according to a recent study. _ 3. Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward.

2. Go for a walk.

Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain. 4.

3. Learn something new.

Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.

5. . Or you can go dancing with your friends.

A. Focus on the future.

B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.

C. It should be something like learning gardening.

D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.

E. But don't worry if your schedule isn't filled with life-changing events.

F. Luckily, research shows there is a lot you can do to avoid those moments.

G. In other words, when you take care of your body, you take care of your brain.
