Question

【題目】 One day a professor（教授）entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a test. The students waited nervously at their desks, the professor began to hand out the papers. To everyone's surprise, there were no questions, just a black dot（點）in the center of the page.

The professor told the students. “I want you to write about what you see there.” The confused students got started on the task. Twenty minutes later, the professor took all the papers. After a quick look, he began to read each one of them aloud. They all described the black dot, trying to explain its position and so on.

“I’m not going to grade you. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone paid more attention to the black dot and the same thing happens in our lives.” the professor said.

“Our life is like a gift. We always have reasons to celebrate being alive and healthy, the beauty of nature, our friends, the job that provides us a way to make a living and so on. However, we keep focusing only on the dark dots, such as the health problems, the family arguments, the disagreements with friends and so on.”

“The dark dots are very small compared to everything else we have in our lives, but they are the ones that pollute our minds, so just take your eyes off the dark spots in your life”. The professor continued, “Be happy and live a life positively!”

【解析】

本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。文章主要講了教授讓學(xué)生根據(jù)一張白紙上的一個黑點來表述自己所看到的東西，結(jié)果所有的學(xué)生都選擇了黑點，忽略了白點。通過這次測試，教授想告訴學(xué)生，黑點只是生活中的一小部分，我們應(yīng)多關(guān)注白色部分，這樣生活才會更好。

【1】根據(jù)第一段“The students waited nervously at their desks”可知，當(dāng)教授說要準(zhǔn)備考試的時候，學(xué)生是緊張的。故答案為They felt nervous when the professor asked them to prepare for a test.

【3】根據(jù)第二段“They all described the black dot”可知，所有的學(xué)生都只寫了黑點的部分。故答案為They wrote about the black dot.

【4】根據(jù)第四段“Our life is like a gift”可知，在教授的眼里，生活就像是一份禮物。故答案為Our life is like a gift in the professor's eyes.

【5】根據(jù)最后一段“so just take your eyes off the dark spots in your life”以及“Be happy and live a life positively!”可知，我們應(yīng)該把眼睛從生活中的黑點上移開并且快樂積極地生活。故答案為We should take our eyes off the dark spots in our life. Be happy and live a life positively!
