    题目列表(包括答案和解析)

    It was a Sunday morning and I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadn’t invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in and said, “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck?”
    “No ! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning.
    My friends invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and went. I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it.    “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital.”
    When I reached the hospital，my mother came out and told me my father’s injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911，thank God! If he had moved Daddy，there’s no telling what might have happened. A broken rib（肋骨）might have pieced（穿透）a lung…” My mother might have said more, but I didn’t hear anything except those terrible words: leave me alone.
    It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him. “Daddy…I am so sorry…” “It’s okay, sweetheart.” “No,”I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day.”
    My father never tells lies but he looked at me and said, “I don’t remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. I remember kissing you goodnight the night before, though.” I regretted for my thoughtless words.
    My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words.
    【小题1】Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?

    A．Because he was rude to his father that morning.
    B．Because he didn’t go along with his father.
    C．Because he failed to come earlier after the accident.
    D．Because he couldn’t look after his father in the hospital
    【小题2】The reason why the author’s father said he forgot everything about that day is that________.       .
    A．he had a poor memoryB．he just wanted to comfort his son
    C．he didn’t wanted to comfort his son D．he lost his memory after the accident
    【小题3】We know from the passage that when the accident happened,_______________.
    A．the author’s father called the hospital immediately.
    B．the author’s father was on his way to the mall.
    C．the author was watching a film with two of his friends.
    D．the author’s father told the driver not to move him.
    【小题4】 What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?
    A．Don’t treat your parents badly. B．Don’t hurt others with rude words
    C．Don’t move the injured in an accident. D．Don’t be angry with friends at small things.

    　　Caught Twittering of on Facebook at work? It’ll make you a better employee．An Australian study shows that surfing the internet for fun during office hours increases productivity．

    　　The University of Melbourne study showed that people who use the internet for personal reasons at work are about 9 percent more productive than those who do not．the study author Brent Coker, from the department of management and marketing, said “workplace Internet leisure browsing(工作时的网络休闲)”， or WILB, helped to sharpen workers’ concentration．“People need to zone out for a bit to get back their concentration,” Coker said on the university’s website(www．unimelb．edu．au/)．“Short breaks, such as quick surf of the Internet, enable the mind to rest itself, leading to a higher total net concentration for a day’s work, and as a result, increase productivity,” he said．

    　　According to the study of 300 workers, 70 percent of people who use the Internet at work engage in WILB．Among the most popular WILB activities are searching for information about products, reading online news, playing online games and watching videos on YouTube．

    　　“Many firms spend millions on software to block their employees from watching videos, using networking sites or shopping online under the pretence that it costs millions in lost productivity,” said Coker．“That’s not always the case．”

    　　However, Coker said the study looked at people who browsed in moderation(适度), or were on the Internet for less than 20 percent of their total time in the office．“Those who behave with Internet addiction tendencies will have a lower productivity than those without,” he said．

    After suffering through many months of unemployment  (失业)，my wife and I moved this week from Colorado to Ohio，where she was starting a new job.Not knowing anybody there，we were pretty concerned about how we’d get our entire home unloaded (卸下) without killing ourselves.

    We made a phone call to hire (临时雇用) a couple of college students to help with all the heavy lifting once we got there.But one neighbor after another stopped by to help us.What？Have_we_moved_to_some_other_country？Maybe_we’ve_died_and_gone_to_heaven!

    Unloading actually became fun and joy because there were so many wonderful new friends to help when we worked.The more people helped，the easier the work became.We were afraid the job might take days for the two of us alone，but it was finished in a few hours.Many total strangers would either walk by the sidewalk or drive by to ask us if we were moving in.Many were happy that this old house that had sat empty for so long was coming to life again.We were invited to an outdoor meal yesterday by neighbors on the same street.

    All the time，my brain was resting on this new sense of hope that people can be so friendly to strangers.Among all the conversation were lots of offers to help each other in all kinds of ways.It’s wonderful to live in such a kind little town.I feel so grateful to be here，and wish the rest of the world could see how an entire community can model  (做榜样) what it’s like to help each other.
