Attitude is an internal(內(nèi)在的) state that influences the choices of personal action made by the individual(個人). Some researchers consider that attitudes come from differences between beliefs and ideas: others believe that attitudes come from emotional states. Here, we focus on the effects of attitudes upon behavior, that is, upon the choices of action made by the individual.

The kinds of actions taken by human beings are obviously influenced greatly by attitudes. Whether one listens to classical music or rock, whether one obeys the speed limit while driving, whether one encourages one’s husband or wife to express his or her own ideas-all are influenced by attitudes. These internal states are acquired(獲得) throughout life from situations one is faced with in the home, in the streets, and in the school.

Of course, the course of action chosen by an individual in any situation will be largely determined by the particulars of that situation. An individual who has a strong attitude of obeying laws may drive too fast when he is in a hurry and no police cars in sight. A child who has a strong attitude of honesty may steal a penny when she thinks no one will notice. But the internal state which remains unchanged over a period of time, and which makes the individual behave regularly in a variety of situations, is what is meant by an attitude.

Attitudes are learned in a variety of ways. They can result from single incidents, as when an attitude toward snakes is acquired by an experience in childhood at the sudden movement of a snake. They can result from the individual’s experiences of success and pleasure, as when someone acquires a positive attitude toward doing crossword puzzles by being able to complete some of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s able to complete some of them, And frequently, they are learned by copying other people’s behavior, as when a child learns how to behave toward foreigners by observing the actions of his parents. Regardless of these differences, there is something in common in the learning and modification(修正) of attitudes.

52.According to the passage, attitudes __________.

         A.come from different situations in one’s life

         B.a(chǎn)re largely affected by one’s behavior

         C.remain unchanged in one’s daily life

         D.could be chosen according to one’s will

53.The author uses the examples in Paragraph 3 to show ______.

         A.people often make mistakes when they are not noticed

         B.people with good attitudes may sometimes do bad deeds

         C.particulars of a situation may influence an individual’s action

         D.a(chǎn)n individual may change his or her attitude fairly easily

54.Which of the following is TURE about the learning of attitudes?

         A.Attitudes are only learned through one’s success.

         B.Attitudes learned in danger will last longer.

         C.Copying others’ behavior is not a good idea.

         D.Attitudes can be learned from one’s  parents.

55.What would be the best title for the passage?

         A.Differences of Attitudes.

         B.Nature of Attitude.

         C.Choices of Attitudes.

         D.Modification of Attitude.

科目:高中英語 來源:2010-2011學(xué)年江西省德興一中高一下學(xué)期第一次月考英語卷 題型:閱讀理解

One day in my class,Maria shared her feelings about money,“Money worries me.I think I want to live without money because I hate it.I HATE MONEY.”We were all touched by Maria's words as they reminded us of the spiritual burdens that money managing can bring to us.After class I offered to help Maria deal with her financial problems.She hesitated to accept my offer,and I could see from the expression on her face that she was afraid of what it might involve.I quickly promised her that I wouldn't make her do more than she was able to.I told her frankly that I didn't enjoy managing my money any more than she did hers and wouldn't burden her with guilt,judgments,or impossible tasks.All I would ask her to do was to let me help her look at her fears and try to make some sense of them.
Maria still resisted my offer,and I can remember the excuses she gave me as they were the repeated complaints I had heard from so many people.“I'll never understand money,”she said.“My facts are meaningless.”“I don't deserve to have money.”“I never have enough.”“I have too little to manage.”“My financial position isn't worth looking at.”and the most devastating one of all,“I just can't do it.”
Going home that day,I couldn't get Maria out of my mind:her attitude conveyed the same negativity and  fear that I believed annoyed many people.I was sure it was this attitude that prevented people from managing their money effectively.My counseling(咨詢)has taught me that these anxieties are inseparably connected to our self­doubts and fear for survival.Many of us are terrified of handling our money because we don't believe we can do it well,and to do it wrong would put our very existence at risk.
On a deeper level we know that money is not the source of life,but sense of worth drives us to act as if it were.It locks us up in self­doubts and prevents us from tapping into the true source of our management power,our spirit.
【小題1】The underlined word“devastating”in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.

A.convincingB.interestingC.shockingD.valuable
【小題2】Maria's words moved the author and others because they were ________.
A.in the same financial troubleB.in the same financial condition
C.of the same family backgroundD.of the same feeling over the issue
【小題3】As for money managing,the author intended to tell Maria how to ________.
A.overcome her fearsB.make wise decisions
C.a(chǎn)void making mistakesD.learn the necessary skills
【小題4】Maria wouldn't take the author's offer of help for fear of________.
A.being forced to share her money with others
B.having to do something beyond her reach
C.being found guilty of making impossible errors
D.showing her judgment about money
【小題5】According to the author,people's anxieties about managing money result from their understanding of money as the only source of ________.
A.lifeB.valuesC.spiritD.power

Carlos smiled broadly."But I need a couple of dictionaries." Again the class laughed, but now they were laughing with Carlos, not at him.He had been here only 10 minutes and already he had them on his side.
