题目列表(包括答案和解析)

We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.
Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a lucky dog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” that is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck.
“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.
How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.

阅读理解

  Silence is unnatural to man.He begins life with a cry and ends it in stillness.In between he does all he can to make a noise in the world, and he fears silence more than anything else.Even his conversation is an attempt to prevent a fearful silence.If he is introduced to another person, and a number of pauses occur in the conversation, he regards himself as a failure, a worthless person, and is full of envy(嫉妒)of the emptiest- headed chatterbox(喋喋不休的人).He knows that ninety-nine percent of human conversation means no more than the buzzing of a fly, but he is anxious to join in the buzz and to prove that he is a man and not a waxwork figure(蜡塑人像).

  The aim of conversation is not, for the most part, to communicate ideas; it is to keep up the buzzing sound.There are, it must be admitted, different qualities of buzz; there is even a buzz that is as annoying as the continuous noise made by a mosquito(蚊子)? But at a dinner party one would rather be a mosquito than a quiet person.Most buzzing, fortunately, is pleasant to the ear, and some of it is pleasant even to the mind.He would be a foolish man if he waited until he had a wise thought to take part in the buzzing with his neighbors.

  Those who hate to pick up the weather as a conversational opening seem to me not to know the reason why human beings wish to talk.Very few human beings join in a conversation in the hope of learning anything new.Some of them are satisfied if they are only allowed to go on making a noise into other people’s ears, though they have nothing to tell them except that they have seen two or three new plays or that they had food in a Swiss hotel.At the end of an evening during which they have said nothing meaningful for a long time, they just prove(证明)themselves to be successful conservationists.

(1)

According to the author, people make conversation to ________.

[  ]

A.

exchange ideas

B.

prove their value

C.

achieve success in life

D.

overcome their fear of silence

(2)

By “the buzzing of a fly”(Para.1), the author means “________”.

[  ]

A.

the noise of an insect

B.

a low sound

C.

meaningless talks

D.

the voice of a chatterbox

(3)

According to the passage, people usually talk to their neighbors ________.

[  ]

A.

about whatever they have prepared

B.

about whatever they want to

C.

in the hope of learning something new

D.

in the hope of getting on well

(4)

What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?

[  ]

A.

To discuss why people like talking about weather.

B.

To encourage people to join in conversations.

C.

To persuade people to stop making noises.

D.

To explain why people keep talking.
