I was blind, but I was ashamed of it if it was known. I refused to use a white stick and hated asking for help. After all, I was a teenager girl, and I couldn’t bear people to look at me and think I was not like them. I must have been a terrible danger on the roads, coming across me wandering through the traffic, motorists probably would have to step rapidly on their brakes. Apart from that, there were all sorts of disasters that used to occur on the way to and from work.
One evening, I got off the bus about halfway home where I had to change buses, and as usual I ran into something,“I’m awfully sorry,”I said and stepped forward only to run into it again. When it happened a third time, I realized I had been apologizing to a lamppost. This was just one of the stupid things that constantly happened to me. So I carried on and found the bus stop, which was a request stop, where the bus wouldn’t stop unless passengers wanted to get on or off. No one else was there and I had to try to guess if the bus had arrived.
Generally in this situation, because I hated showing I was blind by asking for help, I tried to guess at the sound. Sometimes I would stop a big lorry and stand there feeling stupid as it drew away. In the end, I usually managed to swallow my pride and ask someone at the stop for help.
But on this particular evening no one joined me at the stop; It seemed that everyone had suddenly decided not to travel by bus. Of course I heard plenty of buses pass, or I thought I did. But because I had given up stopping them for fear of making a fool of myself, I let them all go by. I stood there alone for half an hour without stopping one. Then I gave up. I decided to walk on to the next stop.
小题1:The girl refused to ask for help because she thought_________.
A.she might be recognized
B.asking for help looked silly
C.she was normal and independent
D.being fond blind was embarrassing
小题2:After the girl got off the bus that evening, she_________.
A.began to run
B.hit a person as usual
C.hit a lamppost by accident
D.was caught by something
小题3:At the request stop that evening, the girl___________.
A.stopped a big lorry
B.stopped the wrong bus
C.made no attempt to stop the bus
D.was not noticed by other people
小题4:What was the problem with guessing at the sound to stop a bus?
A.Other vehicles also stopped there.
B.It was unreliable for making judgments.
C.More lorries than buses responded to the girl.
D.It took too much time for the girl to catch the bus.
小题5:Finally the girl decided to walk to the next stop, hoping__________.
A.to find people there
B.to find more buses there
C.to find the bus by herself there
D.to find people more helpful there

It was, he said,   52  what he had wanted! The little girl and her father had been standing at the doorway, and I saw the biggest and  53 smile on that little girl I have ever seen in my life.

科目:高中英语 来源:不详 题型:阅读理解


I live in the land of Disney, Hollywood and year - round sun.You may think People ,n such an attractive, fun - filled place are happier than others.If so you have some mistaken ideas about the nature of happiness.
Many intelligent people still think fun equals happiness.The truth is that fun and happiness have little or nothing in common.Fun is what we experience during an act.Happiness is what we experience after an act.It is a deep, long-lasting emotion.
Going to an amusement park or a ball game, watching a movie or television are fun activities that help us relax, temporally forget our problems and maybe even laugh.But they do not bring happiness, because their positive effects end when the fun ends.
I have often thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it is to teach us that happiness has nothing to do with fun.They have constant access to exciting parties, fancy cars, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness" But in memoir(回忆录) after memoir, they expose Ac unhappiness hidden beneath all their fun: depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, broken marriages and loneliness.
Ask a bachelor why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying.If he is honest, he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment.For commitment is in fact quite painful.The single life is filled with fun, adventure and excitement.Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features.
Similarly, couples that choose not to have children are deciding in favor of painless fun over painful happiness.They can dine out whenever they want and sleep as late as they want.Couples with babies are lucky to get a whole night' s sleep.I don't know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children.
Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations we can ever come to.It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can truly increase our happiness.It liberates money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless.And it frees us from envy: we now understand that all those rich and famous people we were so sure are happy because they are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all.
小题1:What is the passage mainly about?
A.Fun and happiness.
B.Success and satisfaction.
C.Marriage and commitment.
D.Entertainment and responsibility.
小题2:The author probably agrees that ____.
A.fun creates long - lasting satisfaction
B.long - standing fun may lead to happiness
C.fun is short-lived while happiness is long-lasting
D.fun provides enjoyment while pain leads to happiness
小题3:What does the author think of marriage?
A.It ends in pain.
B.It means commitment.
C.It affords greater fun.
D.It leads to raising children.
【小题14If one gets the real meaning of happiness, he ____.
A.will start a business
B.won' t place too much value on money
C.will seek for freedom
D.won't devote himself to his family

It was just a windy January day here in the North East of Scotland. When I left home for the office where I worked in the next town, the weather forecasters said, “Windy and cold, but no rain.” However, by the time I was about to leave work in the early evening, it was pouring!
My office was close to the bus stop so that there was no problem; I just shot out the door and onto the bus. Unfortunately, once I got home to Montrose, I had about a mile to walk from the bus stop to my home.
As I stepped off the bus that night to walk home, I struggled to get my tiny umbrella to go up in the strong wind. It was obviously designed for a very light shower. Then, suddenly and to my amazement, I heard my mum’s voice.
“Quickly! Come under here, before you get soaked! ”
I nipped(跑) under my bigger umbrella and stared at mum in surprise. “What on earth are you doing here in this weather?” I asked her. My mum was eighty-three that year, and although fit and healthy, she did not usually like going out in strong wind and heavy rain. “You said to come round for tea tonight, but I came early before the rain got too heavy. Eric told me that your car was in for a service and I saw your big umbrella lying on the chair. Eric was on the phone, so I just picked it up and came out so that I could meet you and you would not get soaked!’’
My mum passed away the following year. This simple act remains in my mind, and reminds me how completely my mum loved me. She would not have gone out in the wind and rain for herself, but, at eighty-three, she never gave a second thought about the bad weather so I would not get wet.
小题1:We can learn from the text that   
A.the author’s office was not far from her home.
B.the author’s mum enjoyed good health at 83.
C.the author was completely wet that night.
D.the author opened the umbrella easily then.
小题2:On hearing her mum’s voice the author was much surprised because   .
A.her mum seldom enjoyed going out in such bad weather.
B.her mum did not tell her she would bring her an umbrella.
C.she had planned to go to her house for tea that day.
D.she did not actually realize how much her mum loved her.
小题3:Eric failed to pick up the author in the car for the reason that    
A.he was busy with his work.
B.the car was being repaired.
C.he was fixing the new phone.
D.he did not expect it to rain.
小题4:The best title for the passage can be   
A.I Love Mum.
B.Nice to Meet Mum in the Rain.
C.To Keep Me from the Rain.
D.Mum’s Voice in the Rain.

I learned about life from an ant farm.When I was seven years old, my family created one.First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we waited for the live ants to arrive.Shortly after the chilly ants were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels.I was amazed that each one knew exactly what to do.After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had assigned jobs.With my mom ' s help, I kept a diary of what happened each day and named the ants.
One day a tragedy struck the ant farm.The pages of the diary, still wrinkled where tear drops fell, indicate the depth of the tragedy.'I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, caving in all the tunnels.Although the ants survived their earthquake, one by one they began to die.I was terrified as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a comer of the farm.My mother reported that the ants were dying of "frustration." They simply could not stand the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed.
Although much time has passed, I still think of that ant farm.Mom had hoped it would teach me about the natural world, but it taught me much more.Over the years, I came to realize the ants were a study in the benefits of teamwork.Working together, they were able to create an amazing world for themselves.I also learned that they should be admired for their hard work.Day in and day out, each labored at their task.The ant farm showed that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key ingredients to success.But there was an even larger lesson that I did not realize until recently: Adversity (不幸、灾祸) is a natural part of life,and must be accepted.Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face disappointment.Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another.Giving up, I say, is not a choice.
小题1:The family created an ant farm in a glass box because it was easy _____.
A.for the ants to live inB.to get sun light in
C.to keep the sand cleanD.for the boy to observe
小题2:What made the pages of the diary wrinkled?

小题3:What did the writer finally realize?
A.Perseverance is the only way to success.
B.Humans cannot give up when facing adversity.

C.Immediately after the tragedy.
D.Many years after the tragedy

One night, as Diaz stepped off the train and onto a nearly empty platform, a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
“He wanted my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go ’” Diaz says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, “Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.”
The robber looked at him puzzled, saying, “Why are you doing this?”
Diaz replied, “If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me…..”
Diaz says he and the teen went into a diner and sat in a booth.
“The manager comes by, the dishwashers come by, the waiters come by to say hi,” Diaz says.
The kid said, “You know everybody here. Do you own this place?”
“No, I just eat here a lot,” Dias said. “But you’re even nice to the dishwasher,” he said.
Diaz replied, “Well, haven’t you been taught you should be nice to everybody?”
“Yea, but I didn’t think people actually behaved that way,” the teen said.
When the bill arrived, Diaz said, “You’re going to have to pay for this bill because you have my money and I can’t pay for this. So if you give me my wallet back, I’ll gladly treat you.”
The teen returned it immediately. “I gave him $20…. I figure maybe it’ll help him.” Diaz says he asked for something in return--- the teen’s knife--- “and he gave it to me.”
Afterwards, when Diaz told his mother what happened, she said, “You’re the type of kid that if someone asked you for the time, you gave them your watch.”
“I figure, you know, if you treat people right, you can only hope that they treat you right. It’s as simple as it gets in this complicated world.”
小题1:What did Diaz do to the teen?
A.He gave the teen a new walletB.He treated the teen to dinner

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that   21  men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them,   22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life    23    the fullest.
Recently, John lost his    24    Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last    25 . One day John took out a folded piece of   26   from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he     27   up some drawers at home.
It was a    28    love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地写,乱涂) about her dream guy.    29   the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who    30   only had a few months left to live.
It was    31   a beautiful recipe (处方,食谱) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s    32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next    33   reads. After that she turned    34  the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has    35   with and loved most in her life. “  36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote   37  all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to   38  as Janet was to him. I need to   39  what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know     40    I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”
