    I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

    I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓约) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends, and they to me. Without them, there would be nothing to say to you today.

    So here's what I wanted to tell you today: Get a life. A real life, not a desire of the next promotion(提升), the bigger paycheck, the larger house.

    Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love, and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(空闲), it is work. Pick up the phone. Send an e-mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

    It is so easy to waste our lives, our days, our hours, our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of to live. I learned to live many years ago. Something really, really bad happened to me, something that changed my life in ways that, if I had my choice, it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what, today, seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

    I learned to love the journey, not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it, completely and totally. And I tried to do that, in part, by telling others what I had learned. By telling them this: Read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness, because if you do, you will live it with joy and passion as it ought to be lived.

    1.The best title of this passage probably is________.

    A．Love your friends                       B．Live a real life

    C．Don't waste time                        D．Be a good mother and wife

    2.The underlined sentence "It is so easy to exist instead of to live" in the fifth paragraph probably has the same meaning as________.

    A．it is so easy to keep alive but not to live a real life

    B．it is very hard to live a real life

    C．it is so easy to make a living

    D．it is more difficult to exist than to live a happy life

    3.What's the author's attitude toward work?

    A．Do it well to serve others.

    B．To earn enough money to make life better.

    C．Try your best to get higher position and pay.

    D．Don't let it affect your real life.

    4.It can be inferred from the passage that_________.

    A．the author is a success in personal life

    B．the author didn't try her best to work well

    C．the author spent all her time caring for her children

    D．the author likes traveling very much

     

    【答案】

    1.B

    2.A

    3.D

    4.A

    【解析】

    试题分析：本文论述了作者认为一个真正的生活,而不是欲望的未来晋升(提升),更大的薪水和更大的房子。作者的人生观是要快乐的生活。

    1.标题归纳题。根据综观全文可知本文主要谈及的是过一种实实在在的生活，故选B。

    2.细节理解题。本句意为：生存容易，过真正的生活并不容易。在作者看来，人们往往只顾谋生而活着，并非过着真正的生活。故选A。

    3.细节理解题。根据第一段I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent（我从不让工作影响自己做一个好母亲），可知选D。

    4.推理判断题。根据全文尤其是第二段可知，作者在个人生活方面是一个成功者。B、C两项所述与原文不符；作者热爱生活这一旅程，并非指普通意义上的旅程，故D项错。故选A。

    考点：人生百味类短文阅读。

    点评：标题是文章中心思想的精炼表达，多为词组或短语，涵盖性强。做这类题目时，要在阅读全文的基础上，以文章话题为核心，通过比较选项的概括性或 覆盖面，得出正确的标题。正确标题的归纳范围要恰如其分，避免过于具体或断章取义。错误的干扰往往是局部信息，以事实细节替代概括大意。
