Question

【題目】Think of life as a game in which you are playing with five balls in the air. You name them work, family, health, friends and spirit and you keep all of them in the air. You will soon understand that work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce (彈跳) back.

But the other four balls, family, health, friends and spirit, are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be broken. They will never be the same. You must understand that and try to have balance in your life. How?

Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It’s because we’re different and each of us is special.

Don’t let other people set goals for you. Only you know what is best for yourself.

Don’t give up when you still have something to give. Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying.

Don’t be afraid of difficulties. It is by taking chances that we learn how to be brave.

Don’t shut love out of your life by saying it’s impossible. The quickest way to receive love is to give it; the fastest way to lose love is to hold it too tightly; the best way to keep love is to give it wings.

Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.

Don’t be afraid to learn. Knowledge is a treasure you can always carry easily.

Don’t use time or words carelessly. You can’t get them back. Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, and today is a gift. Life is not a competition, but a trip, step by step.

【解析】

試題分析：生活就像在空中玩耍五個(gè)球：工作，家庭，健康，朋友和精神。工作就像橡皮球，掉下去，會(huì)彈回來。其它就像玻璃球，掉下去，就碎了。如何保持家庭，健康，朋友和精神在人生中的平衡呢？作者在文中提出了很好的建議：不要與別人比較；不要讓別人給自己確立目標(biāo)；不要放棄；不要懼怕困難；不要失去愛等等。

【1】D細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：短文告訴我們因?yàn)槊總�(gè)人都很特別，所以不要做什么？A. be afraid of difficulties害怕困難；B. be afraid to learn害怕學(xué)習(xí)；C. run through life so fast不要快節(jié)奏地生活；D. compare yourself with others to look down on your worth把自己與別人比較而看低自己的價(jià)值。由第三段的：Don’t look down on your worth by comparing yourself with others. It’s because we’re different and each of us is special.可知作者認(rèn)為不要與別人對(duì)比而看低自己的價(jià)值，因?yàn)榇蠹叶己芴貏e。故選D。

You should learn to give up你應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)放棄；D. Although you try, nothing will change.即使你努力，但是什么也不會(huì)改變。“Nothing is really over 沒什么真正結(jié)束；until直到； the moment you stop trying.”你停止努力的時(shí)刻：只要你不停止努力，沒有什么已經(jīng)結(jié)束。故選B。

【3】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：保持愛的最好的方式是什么？A. say it’s impossible說它是不可能的；B. give it贈(zèng)送；C. give it wings給予它翅膀；D. hold it tightly緊緊地抓住。由文中的：the best way to keep love is to give it wings.可知最好的保持愛的方式是給予愛翅膀。故選C。

【4】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。題意：如果你生活太過匆忙，你會(huì)怎樣？A. lose your own treasure that you can always carry easily失去你能輕易獲得的財(cái)富；B. lose love by holding it too tightly抓得太緊而失去愛；C. forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.忘掉你在哪兒，要去哪兒。D. not afraid of the difficulties不怕困難。由倒數(shù)第三段的：Don’t run through life so fast that you forget not only where you’ve been, but also where you are going.可知本題選C。
