　　I know that it is my job to make sure that everything goes well for the tourists and I feel I work hard for the company. I cannot be blamed for last week. I met the group at the airport and took them to the coach. The coach driver was a bit annoyed because the flight was late. But it wasn't far to the hotel and everyone was looking forward to their dinner. We hadn't used the Hotel Riviera before, but our normal one had a conference in it so it was fully booked. When I announced our arrival at the reception desk, they said they were full. I had booked rooms for the group but the manager said they were cancelled by phone a few days before. He insisted that he recognised my voice and that I had made the phone call. We had a bit of an argument but they obviously didn't have enough rooms. In the end the manager phoned other hotels in the town and found rooms for everyone but in four different hotels. By this time the coach had gone so we had to get taxis and some of the tourists started to get very angry with me. I still don't know who made that phone call but it definitely wasn't me.

One man tells of driving on a long and lonely road, the last 65 miles of it unpaved, in order to watch Indian dances in the state of Arizona. After the dances, he returned to his car only to find that it had a flat tire. He put on the spare and drove to the only service station in that town.
“Do you fix flats?” he inquired of the attendant.
“Yes,” came the answer.
“How much do you charge?” he asked.
With a twinkle in his eye, the man replied, “What difference does it make?”
This is what has been called a “Hobson’s choice”. A Hobson’s choice is a situation that forces a person to accept whatever is offered or go without.
According to Barbara Berliner, the phrase was inspired by sixteenth-century entrepreneur (企業(yè)家) Thomas Hobson. There was no choice by the customer — it was strictly Hobson’s choice.
But often we really have a choice, and the choice does make a difference. We may not always believe it. We may feel as if we have no choice, but almost always there is a choice in the matter. And when we realize that we do most things by choice, then we are taking control of our own lives.
Someone challenged me to try an experiment that completely changed my perspective. “For the next seven days,” he said, “eliminate the words ‘I have to’ from your vocabulary and say ‘I choose to’. Don’t say, ‘I have to work late tonight’. Instead, say, ‘I choose to work late’. When you choose to do it, you take control of your life. Instead of saying, ‘I have to stay home’, try ‘I choose to stay home’. The way you spend your time is your choice. You are responsible. You have control.”
In just seven days I was no longer saying “I have to” and I felt better about my decisions. I learned that there is very little in my life I actually have to do. You and I decide to do certain things because we believe that it will be for the best. When we eliminate “I have to” from our vocabularies, we take control.
Try it for a week and you see what happens. I think you’ll see it’s a change for the better.
【小題1】 What did the attendant mean by saying “What difference does it make”?

A．The man didn’t need to pay for the work.
B．It was unnecessary for the man to ask about the price.
C．There was no need for the man to have the tire fixed.
D．The man should keep silent.
【小題2】The author learnt from the experiment that he      .
A．could become more challenging
B．could spend more time relaxing himself
C．should take pleasure in helping others
D．a(chǎn)ctually changed his attitudes towards life
【小題3】What does the underlined word “eliminate” mean?
A．Remember.B．Repeat.C．Remove.D．Recite.
【小題4】What is the situation where we have a “Hobson’s choice”?
A．We have no choice but to follow.
B．We should often change our choice.
C．We should make preparations before a journey.
D．We should think twice before taking action.
【小題5】 The purpose of writing this text is to            .

She is a cute, quiet girl. As a daughter, she has no secrets from her mother, who is very pleased with her. But recently she has become somewhat mysterious, not so open as before: what if she falls in love, which is too early for a girl of her age. After all, she is reaching the “dangerous stage”. These thoughts have caused trouble in the mother’s mind.

   One weekend the girl came to tell her mother that she was going to the cinema with her schoolmates and would return late. This was the first time her mother had agreed, and she couldn’t help worrying because her daughter had never been away at night before. The mother waited till nine and her uneasiness(不安) got the upper hand over her. She decided to go out to meet her daughter. Just at that moment the noise of a car pulling up drew her to the window and ---there was her daughter, waving goodbye to a boy. Her heart missed a beat. When the girl came in, the mother was watching TV, pretending nothing had happened. “Mum, I’m back.” “Yeah.” “Sorry to be late. Still sitting up?” “Yes, Oh, that… Who’s that boy?” The daughter was stunned (發(fā)愣) for a moment. “Ah. It’s my monitor. He gave me a lift on his way home. Mum, I’m going to bed” “All right. Go to sleep early.”

   Next morning, when the mother went to the daughter’s room to do some tidying, she found her diary left at her pillow.

科目：高中英語 來源：廣東普寧一中2010屆高三第一學(xué)期限時(shí)訓(xùn)練測試題一（英語） 題型：閱讀理解

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?” Usually the question is asked of a man in action — a man on the go, walking along the street, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but “you’ve put a bug in his ear” — maybe now he’s not sure. If you’re a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk, that he overlooked that morning. It starts him worrying a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”

Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to asked “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to catch a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.

When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays, was in his eighties, someone asked him, “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” Shaw said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”

26. The passage tells us that some greetings such as “How do you feel?” __________.

A. show one’s consideration for others

D. generally make one feel uneasy

A. a man working at his work                 B. a person having lost a close friend

C. a stranger who looks somewhat worried   D. a friend who is ill

28. The writer seems to feel that a busy man should _________________.

A. be praised for his efforts             

B. never be asked any questions

C. not be troubled                    

D. be discouraged from working so hard

29. “You’ve put a bug in his ear” means that you’ve _________________.

A. made him laugh merrily              

B. given him some kind of warning

C. shown much concern for him          

D. played a joke on him

30. George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his __________.
