Jim Shelley是一個有癮的人。他打電話有癮，且不能自拔。真是大千世界，無奇不有。
小題1: A 詞義比較邏輯推理 說完這些話，作者就開始面對/承認(face)了問題。face面對，面臨, 承認；find找到, 發(fā)現(xiàn), 感到；accept接受, 認可，承認；notice注意到。
小題1: B 邏輯推理詞義比較 作者過去從醒來到睡覺總是不停(all the time)地給人家打電話。now and then偶爾，有時；at home在家；at work在工作中；all the time始終。
小題1: C 邏輯推理詞義比較 我等候著(wait)，而不是要(ask)，試著(try)，邀請(invite)人家打電話過來，又想打電話出去，又多打一個電話出去
小題1: C 前后照應(yīng)邏輯推理 開始是為了社交，每天幾個電話，僅僅快速的聊聊天，似乎沒什么事(fine)，而沒有什么特別(special)，客氣(polite)，重要(important)的地方。注意與后句的though和got worse聯(lián)系起來理解。
小題1: B 邏輯推理詞義辨析 可后來，慢慢地，情況(situation)卻越來越遭。condition 條件，環(huán)境；situation情形, 境遇；result結(jié)果, 成效；effect作用, 影響。
小題1: A 詞義辨析邏輯推理 不久，就總是不停，頻繁(frequent)地打電話來了，最后竟然上癮了. frequent時常發(fā)生的, 頻繁的，通常強調(diào)動作的多次反復(fù)出現(xiàn)；B. regular有規(guī)則的，經(jīng)常的，強調(diào)動作有規(guī)律的經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)；unusual不平常的，不尋常的，強調(diào)非常的情況；particular特別的, 獨特的，強調(diào)個性特征。
小題1: D 邏輯推理前后照應(yīng) 這不僅僅影響朋友(friends)，家人(family)，學(xué)習(xí)(study)，還影響了我的工作(work)。后文談?wù)摰氖亲髡叩墓ぷ髑闆r。
小題1: A 邏輯推理常識運用 大白天，不是為了一個秘密的(secret)，預(yù)料到了的(expected)，額外的(extra)電話，而是為了一個急迫的(quick)電話作者會突然出去。
小題1: D 邏輯推理詞義比較 沒有電話打時，就等候人家打電話來，等得作者不是充滿希望(hopeful)，欣喜快樂(delighted)，而是越來越迫切、焦慮不安(anxious)，但不至于擔(dān)驚受怕(frightened)。
小題1: B 詞義比較邏輯推理 作者就會跟這個人打，跟那個人打，心里總是告誡(tell)就再打一個，而不是強迫(force)，給予(give)和限制(limit)自己。這句話是對作者的當(dāng)時的心情的描述。
小題1: A 固定搭配邏輯推理 作者總是給人家打電話，并留下(leave)訊息，而不是接受(take)，傳遞(pass)，記錄(record)訊息。take /pass/record /leave messages接受/傳遞記錄/留下訊息。
小題1: C 邏輯推理詞義比較 作者不管這電話是長時間的(long)，還是緊接著來的(immediate)，還是令人吃驚的(surprising)電話，而是要確保明天我能有足夠多(enough)的電話來度過這一天。
小題1: D 詞義辨析邏輯推理 作者就會直接走到電話機前說"我可以用這電話嗎？"這些話(words)來表達要求(demands)或希望(wish)。saying諺語，警句，指人們經(jīng)常重復(fù)耳熟能詳?shù)恼Z句；demands要求，需要；wish希望，請求；words話語。
小題1: B 邏輯推理詞義比較 上班工作的時候，同伴阻止作者去打電話，作者就會感到無助(helpless)而情緒敗壞狂怒發(fā)瘋(mad)，而不會小心從事(careful)，意志堅定(determined)點而不去打電話。
小題1: D 詞義辨析固定搭配邏輯推理 同伴們會阻止(stop)作者去打電話。save sb. from救助/拯救某人脫離；protect sb. from保護某人免遭；stop sb. From阻止某人，使某人不做某事。reduce 通常不與表示"避免"意義的from搭配。
小題1: A 詞義比較邏輯推理常識運用 作者花掉了最后一英鎊，沒有了錢，他沒法再使用(use)，也偷(steal)不著錢，倒不空(empty)電話亭，便氣急敗壞地毀壞(destroy)電話亭，結(jié)果給警察逮個正著。
小題1: C 邏輯推理詞義辨析 作者被命令/安排(order)去看心理醫(yī)生。Offer(主動提供)，guide(指導(dǎo)，引導(dǎo))，remind(提醒)的用詞都太客氣委婉，order通常指上級對下屬等強硬的"指使，命令，安排"，意義較為強烈，其語氣更符合文意。
小題1: B 邏輯推理詞義比較 三天里作者包括接(receive)和打，沒有(have)一個電話，也就無從錯過(miss)一個電話，更無法安裝(fix)電話機了。
小題1: D 語法規(guī)則語句連貫 自作者使用電話亭以來，已經(jīng)好幾天了=作者好幾天沒有使用過電話亭了。since表示"自……以來"的意思。
小題1: A 邏輯推理常識運用 作者努力不去看電視，不是因為電視上有各類不同(different)或更多的(more)人，也不是有人正好在打電話，而是因為屏幕上總是、時常(always)出現(xiàn)人們打電話的鏡頭。

A
The choice to adopt and hold gratefulness is the one that is different from those who suffer misfortune and those who enjoy a full life.
My mother died when I was 24. It was a very difficult time in my life — everything seemed to fall apart. I lost my job, and then my utilities were turned off. I had to take cold showers for six months. A neighbor who knew about my situation came to my house and made me an offer. I took care of her children as a job, and I no longer went hungry. I was surprised that someone would trust me — a young woman with her children. And it was with the very confidence that before long I began taking care of other people’s children, too. I have since moved 300 miles from Boise, Idaho. For more than 23 years I have made every effort to reach out to all the kind-hearted people who helped me when I was down and out. Without their trust, I don’t know what I would have done. I am very involved in my community and volunteer at the local food bank, and I help out whenever I can. I’d like to owe what I am to whoever has offered me generosity.
If you are grateful for what you already have, the world will work together to give you more to be grateful for. Otherwise, the world will give you more to complain about.
Moreover, the true master learns to be grateful, in advance, for the things that are desired, because, being grateful in advance for some attainment or accomplishment does two very important things: one…it tricks your subconscious into believing that the goal is certain and two…it convinces other people, with whom you must interact to achieve your desires, that you know what you are about, that you are a winner, not a whiner (哀訴者).
小題1:The underlined word “utilities” refers to __________ in the passage.
A．water and gas suppliesB．gas and electricity supplies
C．shower equipment and water supplyD．heating and TV signals
小題2: The writer was grateful mainly for ___________.
A．his neighbor’s donationB．his community
C．having got the jobD．others’ trust
小題3: The writer’s personal story in the second paragraph tells us that __________.
A．to be grateful will get you nowhere but away from home
B．a(chǎn) grateful person is most likely to be successful
C．we need to be grateful to be helpful and useful
D．the fragrance (芳香) stays in the hand that gives the rose
小題4:The best title for the passage would be ____________.
A．A Thank-You Note to Trusting Neighbor
B．You Are a Winner, Not a Whiner
C．Be Grateful to Life in Advance
D．Gratefulness Brings a Great Fullness to Life

I found the imagination of becoming a grandmother somewhat discouraging. I wasyounger than I thought a grandmother should be when I got the news that I was goingto become one myself. I admit, it was not a role that I was emotionally ready toaccept. I had been a young mother, and had certainly hoped my daughter would notface that same challenge. I remarried when she was a teenager, and then had two morechildren. On getting the news that she was expecting, I remember thinking “What do Iknow about being a grandmother? —I haven’t even finished raising my own kids yet!”I don’t like to be unprepared, so I read a few books about grandparenting. That gaveme a little help, but I was still uncertain. I thought about other grandmothers I knew,and got a few ideas I liked and a few more that I didn't. But I couldn't quite figure outwhat kind of grandmother I wanted to be. Then I thought about my own grandmother,Granny, as she’s known by most people, and I knew I had the answer.
I didn’t realize it until that moment, but my own grandmother was the examplefor the kind of grandmother I wanted to be. I am fortunate that I got to spend a lot oftime with my grandparents when I was a little kid. Here's what I learned from myGranny：
Grandmothers always have a cookie jar. For my entire life, Granny always had acookie jar full of cookies. When I was a little tiny girl, just at eye level with thecounter, Granny would get the cookie jar down for me. When I was a little older Ilearned how to pull the chair over so I could reach. As I got taller, if I really stretched,I could reach the cookie jar with my finger tips and move it close enough to get it downoff the counter to find out what kind of treat was inside. Always the first thing I didwhen I went to Granny 's house was check the cookie jarand there were alwayscookies in it. Many years later, I’ll drive my own children to Granny’s house and thefirst thing Pd do is get us all a cookie.
So grandmothers must have a cookie jar and on my granddaughte’ s firstChristmas, my daughter bought me my own cookie jar. She said when they came to seeme, her daughter would find the treat the way she did and I did.
小題1:The writer thought it was a little discouraging to be a grandmother because________.

Most people who experience bad service while traveling, shopping, or dining out do no complain. They accept bad services or products without making a sound. Why? Many feel complaining won’t do any good. In fact, they’re wrong, because companies don’t want their customers unhappy. Not sure you can do it? Here are some ways to use when things go wrong.
1.If you have a complaint, do something about it right away. The longer you wait, the harder it will be to get your complaint solved.
2.First, complain to the servers. If they are not going to solve your problem, then ask politely to speak to a manager. And if that doesn’t work, you can always request to speak to the manager’s manager!
3.Demand a discount(折扣). Let’s say you were promised a hotel room with an ocean view, but got a view of a brick wall instead; if you were promised a seat in the front of a plane, but got a seat in the back. You should do something about both of these situations. Ask a special discount.
4.Don’t be passive. Offer ways you think the company can satisfy you.
5.Insist on the price you were told. If you are refused, get a manager’s name and telephone number, and promise to follow up with a letter and a telephone call.
6.If all else fails, wait until you get home and take action. Call the company’s head office, and speak to the most powerful person possible. Then follow up your call with a letter of complaint. If necessary, call the customer protection office in your city and complain.
小題1:
According to the text, people don’t complain because________.
A．they think complaining doesn’t work
B．they consider it wrong to complain
C．they don’t want to waste their time
D．they don’t want to become unpopular

To complain about something, you should________.
A．wait until you come back home

“Linda, if beating yourself up were an Olympic sport, you’d win a gold medal!”
Annabel, my close friend, stunned me with that frank observation after I told her how I had mishandled a situation with a student in a third-grade class where I was substituting. “I should never have let him go to the boy’s room without a pass! It was my fault he got into trouble with the hall monitor! I’m so stupid!”
My friend burst out laughing, and then made her “Olympic” comment. After a brief period of reflection I had to admit that she was right. I did put myself down an awful lot. Why, just during the previous day I had called myself “a slob” for having some papers spread out on my desk, “ugly” when I left the house without makeup and “an idiot” when I left the house for an emergency substitute job without my emergency lesson plan.
In a more reflective tone, Annabel said, “I once took a workshop at church where the woman in charge had us list all the mean things we say about ourselves.”
“How many did you have on your list?” I asked.
“Fifteen,” she confessed. “But then the teacher said, ‘Now turn to the person next to you and say all the items on your list as if you were speaking to that person!’ ”
My jaw dropped. “What did you do?”
“Nothing. Nobody did. We all just sat there, until I said, ‘I could never say these things to anyone else!’ ”
“And our teacher replied, ‘Well, if you can’t say them to anyone else, then don’t ever say them to yourself!’ ”
My friend had a point. I would never insult a child of God---and I’m God’s child, too!
God, today let me be as kind to myself as I would be to another of Your children.

“Mom, can I bake some bread?” We were 15; my best friend, Hanna, and I, determined to try our hands at creating some beautiful bread.
“It’s not worth the trouble,” my mother said. “It takes lots of time and makes a big mess. Our bakery bread is delicious without all that effort.”
Begging was useless. Mom’s “no” meant “No!”
But several weeks later, opportunity knocked. My parents were going out for the evening. I immediately invited Hanna to be my partner in bread-baking crime.
We studied the recipe. That was easy. “Mix oil into flour then beat in four eggs, one at a time, with remaining sugar and salt.”
We were not good at breaking eggs. I tried to learn from my mother.
“Gradually add eight cups of flour. When dough (面團) holds together, squeeze it.”
We took turns working like that. “Is the dough ‘holding together’?” we asked each other.
I remembered my neighbor’s instructions: “If it’s too sticky, add some flour; if too dry, add water.”
We added water. Then more flour. Then more water. By then, the mass of our dough had grown very much.
“Place dough on floured surface and squeeze till smooth,” the recipe instructed.
We took turns burying our hands in the damp dough, pinching, squeezing, and feeling it leak between fingers. “Clean and oil bowl, and then return dough to bowl. Cover and let dough rise in a warm place for one hour.”
This was good news—we’d have a break. On the dirty kitchen chairs, we dreamed about our beautiful bread. “See?” we would tell my mom. “Isn’t it worth the work?”
Hanna and I couldn’t help glancing at the rising process every few minutes. But nothing happened.
“Maybe something will happen in the hot oven,” I said.
Unfortunately, when we removed the loaves from the oven, they were like hard stones.
Mom was right; it takes time and effort. It sometimes makes a mess. But still it feels good, somehow, to be part of that long, ongoing chain of bread bakers. Since that night, both Hanna and I have learned to do it right.
