One of the qualities that most people admire in others is the willingness to admit one’s mistakes. It is extremely hard sometimes to say a simple thing like “I was wrong about that, ”and it is even harder to say, “I was wrong, and you were right about that. ”

I had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago. He told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighborhood where I grew up, and he asked me if I remembered the egg cartons （箱子）. Then he related an incident and I began to remember clearly the incident he was describing.

I was about eight years old at the time, and I had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping. On that particular day, I must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.

There must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen cartons. The cartons were stacked three or four feet high. I must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks. Just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of cartons. For some reason, I decided it was up to me to put the display back together, so I went to work.

The Manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened. When he appeared, I was on my knees inspecting （examining）some of the cartons to see if any of the eggs were broken, but to him it looked as though I was the criminal. He severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs. I protested my innocence and tried to explain, but it did no good. Even though I quickly forgot all about the incident, obviously the manager did not.

1.The author was ______ when he wrote this article.

A. about 8 B. about 18

C. about 23 D. about 15

2.Who was to blame for knocking off the stacks of cartons?

A. The author. B. The manager.

C. The woman. D. The author’s mother.

3.When the manager scolded him the author _______.

A. was frightened and cried B. tried to explain

C. did not say anything D. felt the manager was right

4.It can be inferred that the author _______.

A. regrets arguing with the manager for what he didn’t do

B. would like to tell people never to be fooled by an egg sale

C. has forgiven the manager for what he did to him fifteen years ago

D. expects the woman to say sorry to him for the mistake she made

When I was 11, I threw a glance into Dad’s lunch box and made the unexpected discovery that my mother still showed her love towards my father. The evidence, a napkin resting on top of the sandwiches packed in wax paper, was certain “Love you!” she had written on the napkin. “ Meat loaf for supper!”

Mom penned all kinds of messages to Dad on those paper napkins, and he saved a whole pile of them. What embarrassed me as a kid has become a precious memory of my parents.

It also started my own brand of lunch box notes. When my kids were young, I’d glue little drawings on their lunches. Lots of sketches(素描) of our dog, Max, along with smiling flowers. When they were teenagers, I’d copy words of wisdom from great people, Einstein, for example, or Bruce Springsteen. Then, my kids grew up making their own handwritten notes. And my husband writes me love notes on recycled paper, because he’s all about being green.

Friends who know about my lunch box notes eagerly share stories of their own family traditions. So many focus on food. Maura’s mom always drew hearts on the shells of hard-boiled eggs. Melinda wrote messages on her kids’ bananas.

We’re into the third generation of lunch box notes in our home. Whenever my 3-year-old grandson, Clayton, spends the night, he knows his lunch is going to have a napkin note from Grandma in the morning. Last week, I drew a picture of me, waving widely and shouting his name. He took one look at it and screamed, “ Where’s Grandpa?” I added a man in a clean shirt. “ You forgot his tie,” he said. I quickly drew a line of stripes(條紋) down the front of the shirt. Clayton smiled. “Grandpa,” he whispered, running his fingers across the napkin. “It’s you!”

1.When the author first saw Dad’s lunch box notes, she felt ______.

A. moved B. awkward

C. proud D. nervous

2.What did the author put in the lunch boxes when her kids were in their teens?

A. Words of love.

B. Pictures of flowers.

C. Drawings of their favorite animals.

D. Famous words of wisdom

3.It can be inferred that ________.

A. the author’s grandson likes drawing pictures on napkins.

B. the author’s children dislike making lunch box notes.

C. the author’s husband is an environmentalist.

D. the author’s friends all had their brand of lunch box notes.

4.What’s the best title for the text?

A. Old generation’s way of expressing love.

B. Different brands of lunch box notes.

C. Lunches packed with love.

D. Some interesting family traditions.

科目：高中英語 來源：2015屆河北石家莊五校聯(lián)合體高三上第一次月考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

A book review tells not only what a book is about, but also how successful it is at what it is trying to do. Professors often assign (布置) book reviews as practice in careful analytical (分析的) reading.

As a reviewer, you bring together the two parts of accurate, analytical reading and strong, personal response when you indicate what the book is about and what it might mean to a reader. In other words, reviewers answer not only the WHAT but the SO WHAT question about a book. Thus, in writing a review, you combine the skills of describing what is on the page，analyzing how the book tried to achieve its purpose, and expressing your own reactions.

Most book reviews start with a heading that includes all the basic information about the book, like:

Title.

Author.

Place of publication, publisher, date of publication.

Number of pages.

The review usually begins with an introduction that lets your readers know what the review will say. The first paragraph usually includes the author and title again, so your readers don't have to look up to find this information. You should also include a very brief description of the contents of the book, the purpose or audience for the book, and your reaction and evaluation.

Then you move into a section of background information that helps place the book in context and discusses how to judge the book. Next, you should give a summary of the main points, quoting (引用) and explaining key phrases from the author. Finally, you get to the heart of your review -- your evaluation of the book. In this section, you might discuss some of the following issues:

·How well the book has achieved its goal.

·What possibilities are suggested by the book.

·What the book has left out.

·How the book compares with others on the subject.

·What personal experiences you've had related to the subject.

It is important to use labels (標(biāo)簽) to carefully distinguish your views from the author's, so that you don't confuse your readers.

Then, like other essays, you can end with a direct comment on the book, and tie together issues raised in the review in a conclusion.

There is, of course, no set form, but a general rule is that the first one-half to two-thirds of the review should summarize the author's main ideas and at least one-third should evaluate the book.

1. According to the text, personal response of a book reviewer refers to _______.

A. accurate and analytical reading

B. the reviewer’s understanding about the background of the book

C. the reviewer's indication of what the book is about and what it means to a reader

D. skills of describing what is on the page

2.What is the most important part of a book review?

A. The heading. B. The evaluation.

C. The conclusion. D. The introduction.

3. Readers will get puzzled if __________.

A. there is no heading in a book review

B. the book review is not complex enough

C. the reviewer's point of view is mixed with the author's

D. there are some different issues listed in the book review

4.What is suggested for a book review in this text?

A. Quoting from other similar books.

B. Commenting on the book in a fixed form.

C. Analyzing the author's writing experience in the past.

D. Comparing the book with others on a similar subject.

My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn’t forced on us either. He took Samuel Johnson’s dictionary, Addison’s essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight o’clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn’t believe that I hadn’t seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions(典故) and irony andhilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.

My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be wonderfully funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written in every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other’s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, “This writing isn’t fit to line the bottom of a birdcage.” Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.

So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.

1.The passage mainly discusses _____.

A. teaching B. literature

C. humor D. knowledge

2.The underlined word “hilarious” in Paragraph 1 probably means _____.

A. funny B. tiring

C. inspiring D. brilliant

3.With his favorite English teacher, the writer found it most amazing that _____.

A. his teacher was very learned

B. his teacher was very humorous

C. the works by Johnson and Addison were very humorous

D. few were able to find humor in works by Johnson and others

4.The English teacher the writer disliked most _____.

A. was not able to make students laugh

B. hurt his students’ feelings

C. didn’t let his students do the grading

D. had no sense of humor
