題目列表(包括答案和解析)

Michael is the kind of guy you love to hate．He is always in a good mood and always has something positive to say．When someone would ask him how he was doing, he would reply, “If I were any better, I’d be twins!” He was a natural motivator．

One day I went up to Michael and asked him, “I don’t get it．You can’t be positive all the time．How do you do it?”

Michael replied, “Each morning I wake up and say to myself ‘Mike, you have two choices today．You can choose to be in a good mood or a bad mood．’ I choose the first．Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or choose to learn from it．I choose to learn from it．Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or I can point out the positive side of life．I choose the positive side of life．” Michael continued, “Life is all about choices．The bottom line is: It’s your choice how you live life．”

Several years later, Michael was involved in a serious accident, falling off 60 feet from a communications tower．I saw him about six months after the accident．I asked him what had gone through his mind as the accident took place．

He said, “I first thought of my soon-to-born daughter and then remembered I had two choices: I could choose to live or I could choose to die．I chose to live．I knew I needed to take action．So when a nurse kept shouting questions at me asking if I was allergic to anything, I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Gravity’．Over their laughter, I told them, ‘I’m choosing to live．Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead’．”

Michael lived, thanks to the skill of his doctors, but also because of his amazing attitude．

1．Which of the following statements is true?

       A．Michael is a person whom people don’t like very much．

       B．Michael knows how to learn from bad things in life．

       C．Doctors thought Michael was dead．

2．According to Michael, when someone complains to you, you should ____________．

       A．share your own experiences with him

       B．just listen to what the person says and feel sorry for him

       C．tell the person to look at the happy side of life instead of just listening

       D．discuss with the person and tell him to reflect on the complaints

       A．Michael wants to have a twin brother

       B．Michael is not satisfied with his present life

閱讀理解。
     A boy was born to couple after eleven years of marriage. They were a loving couple and the boy
was the apple of their eyes. When the boy saw around two years old, the husband saw a medicine bottle
open. He was late for work so he asked the wife to cap the bottle and put it in the cupboard. The mother,
preoccupied in the kitchen, totally forgot the matter.
     The boy saw the bottle and playfully went to it and, fascinated with its color, drank it all. It happened
to be a poisonous medicine meant for adults in small dosages (劑量). When the child fell down, the mother
hurried him to the hospital, where he died. The mother was unconscious. She was terrified how to face
her husband.
      When the distraught (心煩意亂的) father came to the hospital and saw the dead child, he looked at
his wife and uttered just four words.
     What do you think those four words were? The husband just said,"I love you, darling".
     The husband's totally unexpected reaction is proactive (積極主動的) behavior. The child is dead. He
can never be brought back to life. There is no point in finding fault with the mother. Besides, if only he
have taken time to put the bottle away, this would not have happened. No point in attaching blame. She had
also lost her only child. What she needed at that moment was consolation and sympathy from the husband.
That is what he gave her. 
     Sometimes we spend time asking who is responsible or who's to blame, whether in a relationship, in a
job or with the people we know and miss out on the warmth in human relationships we could receive by
giving each other support. After all, shouldn't forgiving someone we love be the easiest thing in the world
to do? Treasure what you have. Don't multiply pain, anguish and suffering by holding onto forgiveness.
     If everyone could look at life with this kind of perspective, there would be fewer problems in the world.
Take off all your envies, jealousies, unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find things
are actually not as difficult as you think.
1. The meaning of the underlined phrase is ____.
A. an adult
B. a healthy boy
C. the love of the parents
D. a naughty boy
2. Why was the mother terrified to face the husband?
A. Because she was afraid of her husband.
B. Because she thought that was her fault.
C. Because she poisoned her son herself.
D. Because she wanted to kill herself.
3. What does this passage mainly talk about?
A. Be careful to do everything.
B. Forgive what you shouldn't forgive.
C. Treasure what you have now.
D. Envy can mislead the way you go.
4. Which column of a paper can we find this article?
A. Financial aid to students.
B. Grand view of science.
C. Enjoying the countryside view.
D. Life and society.

　　He almost didn't see the old lady, stranded on the side of the road, but even in the dim light of day, he could see she needed help．So he pulled up in front her Mercedes and got out．

　　Even with the smile on his face, she was worried．No one had stopped to help for the last hour or so．Was he going to hurt her? He didn't look safe; he looked poor and hungry．He could see that she was frightened, standing out there in the cold．He knew how she felt．

　　He said, “I am here to help you, ma'am．Why don't you wait in the car where it's warm? By the way, my name is Bryan Anderson．”

　　Well, all she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough．Bryan crawled under the car looking for a place to put the jack, skinning his knuckles a time or two．Soon he was able to change the tire．But he had to get dirty and his hands hurt．

　　As he was tightening up the lug nuts, she rolled down the window and began to talk to him．She told him that she was from St．Louis and was just passing through．She couldn't thank him enough for coming to her aid．

　　He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Bryan added, “And think of me．”

　　He waited until she started her car and drove off．It had been a cold and depressing day, but he felt good as he headed for home, disappearing into the twilight．
