While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise. All day Andrew felt nervous and anxious as he thought about the upcoming showdown. What if Mr Larchmont refused to grant his request? Andrew had worked so hard in the last 18 months and landed some great accounts for Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency. Of course, he deserved a wage increase.
The thought of walking into Larchmont’s office left Andrew weak in the knees. Late in the afternoon he was finally courageous enough to approach his superior. To his delight and surprise, the ever-frugal（一向節(jié)儉的）Harvey Larchmont agreed to give Andrew a raise!
Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit. His wife, Tina, had prepared a delicate meal including his favorite dishes. Immediately he figured someone from the office had tipped her off!
Next to his plate Andrew found a beautiful lettered note. It was from his wife. It read: “Congratulations, my love! I knew you’d get the raise! I prepared this dinner to show just how much I love you. I am so proud of your accomplishments!” He read it and stopped to reflect on how sensitive and caring Tina was.
After dinner, Andrew was on his way to the kitchen to get dessert when he observed that a second card had slipped out of Tina’s pocket onto the floor. He bent forward to pick it up. It read: “Don’t worry about not getting the raise! You do deserve one! You are a wonderful provider and I prepared this dinner to show you just how much I love you even though you did not get the increase.”
Suddenly tears swelled in Andrew’s eyes. Total acceptance! Tina’s support for him was not conditional upon his success at work.
The fear of rejection is often softened and we can undergo almost any setback or rejection when we know someone loves us regardless of our success or failure.
小題1:What was Andrew’s plan that Friday?
A．To request a wage increase from his boss.
B．To get a job with the Braer and Hopkins Advertising Agency.
C．To celebrate his success with his wife at home.
D．To ask his boss to come for dinner.
小題2:On his way back home, Andrew _________.
A．felt weak in the knees

小題3:Which of the following statements about the story is FALSE?
A．Andrew was afraid that his request would lead to disaster.
B．Andrew had worked very hard and done his part for the company.
C．Andrew’s boss agreed to his request.
D．One of Andrew’s colleagues had told his wife the good news.
小題4:Why did Tina prepare a grand dinner for Andrew that day?
A．She was confident of his getting a pay raise.
B．She meant to show her support whatever the result would be.
C．She believed that her husband was the best in his company.
D．She wanted to express her gratitude for his devotion to the family.
小題5:We can conclude from the text that ______.
A．we should never be afraid to ask for what is due to us

試題分析：本文敘述了Andrew在公司的工作取得了一定的成績(jī)之后，他告訴他的妻子他要請(qǐng)求老板給他漲工資，他經(jīng)過(guò)了思想的準(zhǔn)備工作就和老板說(shuō)了，沒(méi)有想到老板答應(yīng)了，他很高興，準(zhǔn)備回家和妻子分享這個(gè)好消息，沒(méi)有想到妻子為他準(zhǔn)備好飯菜，而人沒(méi)有在家，卻留了兩張不同的卡片給他，卡片上寫著無(wú)論是哪種結(jié)果，她都會(huì)很愛(ài)自己的丈夫。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)While Andrew was getting ready for work one Friday morning, he announced to his wife that he had finally decided to ask his boss for a salary raise.他要向老板請(qǐng)求漲工資，故選A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Andrew arrived home that evening—despite breaking all city and state speed limits—to a beautiful table set with their best china, and candles lit.不怕超速，急于趕往家中，想把這個(gè)漲工資的好消息快點(diǎn)和妻子分享，故選C。
小題3:推理判斷題。根據(jù)從他的妻子給他的兩張卡片的內(nèi)容上看他的妻子不知道這個(gè)好消息，故選D。
小題4:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Total acceptance 從兩張卡片的內(nèi)容也可知他的妻子對(duì)于兩種結(jié)果都接受，故選B。
小題5:推理判斷題。根據(jù)最后一段可知害怕被拒絕往往是軟弱的表現(xiàn)和當(dāng)我們知道有人愛(ài)我們不管我們是成功還是失敗，我們可以接受或拒絕任何挫折,故選D。
點(diǎn)評(píng)：推理判斷題屬于主觀題，是層次較高的題目。它包括判斷和推理題。這兩類題常常相互依存，推理是為了做出正確的判斷，正確的判斷又依賴于合乎邏輯的推理。該題要求在理解表面文字的基礎(chǔ)上做出判斷和推論，從而得到文章的隱含意思和深層意思，也就是通過(guò)文章中的文字信息，上下邏輯關(guān)系及事物的發(fā)展變化等已知信息，推斷出作者沒(méi)有直接表達(dá)的態(tài)度和觀點(diǎn)。

I went through a training program and became a literacy volunteer last surnmen The training
I received, though excellent, did not tell me how it was to work with a real student, however. When I began to discover what other people's lives were like because they could not read, I realized the true importance of reading.
My first student Marie was a 44-year-old single mother of three. In the first lesson, I found out she walked two miles to the nearest supermarket twice a week because she didn't know which bus to take. When I told her I would get her a bus schedule, she told me it would not help because she could not  read it. She said she also had difficulty once she got to the supermarket,because she couldn't always remember what she needed. Since she did not know words, she could not write out a shopping list. Also, she could only recognize items by sight, so if the product had a different label, she would not recognize it as the product she wanted.
As we worked together, learning how to read built Marie's self-confidence,which encouraged her to continue her studies. She began to make rapid progress and was even able to take the bus to the supermarketelt. After this successful trip, she reported how self-confident she felt. At the end of the program, she began helping her youngest son,Tony, a shy first grader with his reading. She sat with him before he went to sleep and together they would read bedtime stories. When his eyes became wide with excitement as she read, pride was written all over her face. As she described this experience, I was proud of myself as well. I found that helping Marie to build her self-confidence was more rewarding than anything I had ever done before.
As a literacy volunteer, I learned a great deal about teaching and helping others. In fact, I may have learned more from the experience than Marie did.

While I was on my way to Walmart, I was greeted by an elder woman who was working at the door as a greeter, I had a return to make so she stopped me and asked to tag my bag. Usually I would have gotten annoyed because I know I don’t steal, so why does my bag need to be tagged? I’d just witnessed someone ahead of me being not so nice, and treating the lady like she was a nobody. I could see this lady looked to be at retirement age, trying to make ends meet. The look on her face and the energy she gave was that of someone afraid and not knowing where they stood in life. Not to mention the person ahead of me who’d just snatched(奪) a bag back from her and stormed off without even saying thank you. I could tell this woman was hurt by that, and no one knows how many people had been treating her that way all day long.
What if she was a grandmother who’d recently taken care of her grandchildren for whatever season? What if her husband she had to support recently fell sick and they couldn’t afford the medical expenses, so she had to go back to work? What if she just lost everything she had in her retirement and now she had to go back to work?
All she wants is to do her job and do it well. All she wants is to serve customers the way she was trained. All she needs is to be appreciated. Can I be that someone she needs, just for the moment?
I looked her in her eyes as she scanned my bag, smiled and said, “Your hair is beautiful and fits you well!” Her face lit up and she smiled back and began to tell me how much easier it is to manage. It was salt-and-pepper hair and was cut in the prettiest style. She handed my bag back, smiled and told me the service desk was straight down to my left. I said “Thank you!”
小題1:At the door of Walmart, the old woman_____.
A．a(chǎn)sked every customer for money to feed her family

Once there was a man who lied to eat mangoes. One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.
So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.
Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived - a well-known sage who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many people’s problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.
He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man.
Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?”  The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”
That’s what everybody wanted - that he came down. But how? Now everybody was tense, as to what would happen next! Some wanted to chastise the sage, but they didn’t. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was enraged and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge.（復(fù)仇）
He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.
However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really sed him because he induced（引誘）him to try his best and save himself.
“I should be thankful and not angry.”
