题目列表(包括答案和解析)

I am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval, he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way.

  Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didn’t even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated, but then it hit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more intent while standing up?

This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success.This child would have the discipline to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.

Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality traits, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids' best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.

  I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids' ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesn't mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being individual and unique. It makes us free and happy and that's just the way I want my kids to live their own life.

A. pay more attention to his study B. keep silent in the room

A. the importance of parents B. the old form of education

C. the relationship between kids and their parents      D. the good grades of some kids

A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.

B. Parents should study their kids’ DNA.  

C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.

D. Parents should love and accept their kids.

A. he has changed his traditional ideas              B. his son wants to be unique

C. his son doesn’t follow his advice               D. his son’s DNA is different

A. Study hard and you'll be successful             B. Be friendly to your children

阅读理解,阅读下列短文,从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  “confidence” is probably one of the most noticeable traits(品质)in the Americans.They show confidence in the way they talk, the way they smile, the way they dress and the way they walk.Living and competing with all these confidence American students, I find it extremely important to be confident as an international student and instructor.As a student, being confident means you should never hesitate to raise your hand whenever a question or a point comes to your mind.Don't mind if it sounds simple or silly.Otherwise you will never get a chance to speak in class at all.What's worse, the professors may think you are not prepared for the discussion or you do not have your own opinion on the issue-this is the last comment any graduate would like to receive.

  Being confidence for me as a foreign instructor means calmly asking the student to repeat what he or she has said if I did not get it.Pretending to understand what you actually did not may just bring yourself embarrassment or even disgrace.But the time I most need to be confident is when my students come to my office and bargain about the grades I have given for their Speeches.(The course I'm teaching here is Public Speaking).Modesty is a trait highly valued in China, but it won't be of much help here if you want to survive and succeed in a good American graduate program.

  You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving.If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs,then it's likely you will burn out , or feel upset.When you take and take without giving anything back ,you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.

  The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values.I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values.Your being values are the character traits of the ideal person you would like to be.I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a commitment to live by.An example of some being values are:kind, loving, generous, inspirational, peaceful, wise and even powerful.By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model.Mastering being these character traits becomes your life purpose.

  Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy.These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security.This is what you receive.You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

  When you make a commitment to live by your being values, it becomes easier to make conscious choices rather than reactionary ones.If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person.A calm person might go for a walk ,meditate(沉思), or set a time limit before responding.If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person.In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be-this is the key to personal power.

  When you choose to act on your values , you not only feel good about yourself, you reinforce(加强)your chosen beliefs.Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

(1)

The main purpose of this passage is to ________.

[  ]

A.

persuade the readers to make a commitment

B.

explain to the readers what personal values are

C.

inform the readers how to be truly happy

D.

instruct the readers how to make wise choices

  You are going to read a text about the tips on resume writing, followed by a list of examples.Choose the best example from the list A-F for each numbered subheading(1-5).There is one extra example which you do not need to use.

  What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read-a resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers.

1.Put yourself first:

In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself.

2.Sell what you can do, not who you are:

Practise translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas.There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work .

Many people are at a loss when asked to think about their abilities, some think they have none at all! But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch-if only you show it.

3.Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!

Remember that“brevity is the best policy.”

4.Turn bad news into good:

Everybody has had disappointments in work.If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side.

5.Never apologize:

If you’re returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph(summary of background)in place of a chronology of experience.Don’t apologize for working at being a mother; it’s the hardest job of all.If you have no special training or higher education, just don’t mention education.

The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about yourself.Take four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life, on or off the job, that made you feel effective.When you’re satisfied, send it to a printer.It shows an employer that you regard job hunting as serious work,worth doing right.

Isn’t that the kind of person you’d want working for you?

A

A woman who lost her job as a teacher’s aide due to a cutback(缩减)in government funding wrote:“principal of elementary school said I would be the first teacher they would rehire if, government funds became available.”

B

One resume I received included the following:“Invited by my superior to straighten out our organization’s accounts receivable(应收款的).Set up orderly repayment schedule, reconciled(调和,和解)accounts weekly, and improved cash flow 100 per cent.Rewarded with raise and promotion.”Notice how this woman focuses on results, specifies how she accomplished them, and mentions her reward-all in 34 words.

C

For example,if you have a flair for saving, managing and investing money, you have money management skills.

D

An acquaintance complained of being biased when losing an opportunity due to the statement“Ready to learn though not so well educated”.

E

One of my former colleagues, for example, wrote three resumes in three different styles in order to find out which was more preferred.The result is, of course, the one that highlights skills and education background.

F

A woman once told me about a cash flow crisis her employer had faced.She’d agreed to work without pay for three months until business improved.Her reward was her back pay plus a 20 percent bonus.I asked why that marvelous story wasn’t in her resume.She answered,“It wasn’t important.”What she was really saying of course was“I’m not important.”

请根据以上内容,给那5个建议选出最匹配的,最能说明情况的例子。

1.________

A

2.________

B

3.________

C

4.________

D

5.________

E

 

F
