【題目】Today is Sarah’s birthday. She is seventy-five. We asked a few old friends to dinner.

Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times. Thirty years ago, the village used to be a quiet place. Now it has changed. Every Sunday hundreds of cars pass through the village at what I think a dangerous speed. They make the village almost as noisy as the streets of a large town. As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses. Things are different now. Today there are very few horses working on the farms. The farm workers today drive tractors, not horses. A man is not of much use on a farm unless he knows all about machines. Now almost every house in the village has a TV set. Is it a good thing for children to spend the evening sitting in front of a TV set? When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors. I would play with my friends, go fishing or walk by the river. When my grandchildren asked me the reason why I haven’t bought a TV set, I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV.

【1】The old like to talk about _______.

A. themselves B. others C. the past D. nothing

【2】When I was a boy, I _______ riding on farm horses.

A. used to see people B. disliked

C. was fond of D. saw some elderly people

【3】Which is NOT right according to the passage?

A. In the past the village was a quiet place.

B. It is a good time for children to watch TV all evening.

C. On Sundays many cars pass through the village at a dangerous speed.

D. When I was young I didn’t waste my time indoors.

【4】I would rather _______ than _______.

A. watch TV; do some reading

B. play with friends; go fishing

C. do some reading; watch TV

D. go fishing; play with friends

【答案】

【1】C

【2】C

【3】B

【4】C

【解析】試題分析：本文主要講了作者對(duì)過(guò)去美好時(shí)光的回憶，盡管現(xiàn)在自己的家鄉(xiāng)變化了，但是以前的恬靜、悠閑仍是值得回味的日子。

【1】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段Like most elderly people, I suppose, we spent most of the evening talking about old times.�？芍髡呋舜蟀雮�(gè)晚上來(lái)談?wù)撨^(guò)去的時(shí)光。故選C。

【2】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)As a boy I enjoyed riding on the backs of the farm horses.當(dāng)我是個(gè)小男孩時(shí)，我喜歡騎在農(nóng)場(chǎng)的馬背上。故選C。

【3】B推理判斷題。根據(jù)問(wèn)句之后的When I was young I did not waste my time indoors. I would spend the long summer evenings outdoors.當(dāng)我很小時(shí)，我不在室內(nèi)浪費(fèi)時(shí)間，而是去戶外度過(guò)漫長(zhǎng)的夏夜。故選B。

【4】C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)I tell them there are many books I still want to read. I can’t find time for both reading and watching TV.。因此作者更喜歡讀書(shū)，而不是看電視，故選C。

【題目】In the fall of 1985, I was a bright-eyed girl heading off to Howard University, aiming at a legal career and dreaming of sitting on a Supreme Court bench somewhere. Twenty--one years later I am still a bright-eyed dreamer and one with quite a different tale to tell.

My grandma, an amazing woman, graduated from college at the age of 65. She was the first in our family to reach that goal. But one year after I started college, she developed cancer. I made the choice to withdraw from college to care for her. It meant that school and my personal dream would have to wait.

Then I got married with another dream: building my family with a combination of adopted and biological children. In 1999, we adopted our first son. To lay eyes on him was fantastic—and very emotional. A year later came our second adopted boy. Then followed son No.3. In 2003, I gave birth to another boy.

You can imagine how fully occupied I became, raising four boys under the age of 8! Our home was a complete zoo—a joyous zoo. Not surprising, I never did make it back to college fulltime. But I never gave up on the dream either. I had only one choice: to find a way. That meant taking as few as one class each semester.

The hardest part was feeling guilty about the time I spent away from the boys. They often wanted me to stay home with them. There certainly were times I wanted to quit, but I knew I should set an example for them to follow through the rest of their lives.
In 2007, I graduated from the University of North Carolina. It took me over 21 years to get my college degree!

I am not special, just single-minded. It always struck me that when you’re looking at a big challenge from the outside it looks huge, but when you’re in the midst of it, it just seems normal. Everything you want won’t arrive in your life on one day. It’s a process. Remember: little steps add up to big dreams.

【1】Why did the author quit school in her second year of college?

A. She suffered from a serious illness.

C. She wanted to study by herself.

B. She decided to look after her grandma.

D. She fell in love and got married.

【2】What can we learn about the author from Paragraphs 4 and 5?

A. She wanted to remain a fulltime housewife.

B. She was too confused to make a correct choice.

C. She was busy yet happy with her family life.

D. She ignored her guilty feeling for her sons.

【3】What does the author mostly want to tell us in the last paragraph?

A. Every coin has two sides.

C. Failure is the mother of success.

B. Well begun, half done.

D. Little by little, one goes far.

【4】Which of the following can best describe the author?

A. Ambitious and sensitive.

C. Caring and determined.

B. Innocent and singleminded.

D. Honest and responsible.

How to cope with yesmen

Have you ever had someone in your organization who was always agreeable? A type of person who always agrees with everyone else. 【1】.

We have most likely all met a yesman at one time or another. Yesmen are eager to please, but find it very difficult to voice their opinion. So what can you do as a leader to cope with (對(duì)付) them?

Talk to them. The first step is an honest and objective conversation about their behavior. __ 【2】_ Try to get them to see how they respond in these situations so they can start to see themselves objectively(客觀地) as well.

___【3】 Start with a recent time when they agreed with a decision, and ask for their opinion. Keep asking "why?" or "how come?" Acknowledge their views and let them know that the rest of the team is waiting to hear what they say.

Find out why they always agree. It may be they are just very agreeable people. 【4】__ Identify the causes and work with them to reduce the external (外部的) barriers to having their voice heard.

Tell them they need to disagree, constructively, when they have the next opportu- nity. When that time comes about, don't embarrass them by putting them on the spot. Instead, ask them what they think, avoid yes-no questions, and use "why" and "how come" questions to get their thoughts out there for the benefit of the team. Thank them for their ideas. 【5】

A. Ask what their opinions are.

B. They should provide value to the organization.

C. Or they feel like they will be saying something stupid.

D. Even if all the ideas presented conflict with each other!

E. Sometimes the person does not realize that they agree with everything.

F. Yesmen are a challenge in any organization that values individual contributions.

G. This will build their confidence and allow them to continue doing what you have started in the future.
