5.In the animal kingdom,weakness can bring about aggression in other animal.This sometimes happens with humans also.But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people.I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat.And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience,I see the best in people,bur sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.They don't get to see this soft side of others often,we try bevery way possible to avoid showing our weakness,which includes a lot of pretending.But only when we stop pretending we're brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that's in them.
Last month,when I was driving home on a busy highway,I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual.People behind me began to get impatient and angry,with some speeding up alongside me,horning (按喇叭) or even shouting at me.At the moment I decided to do something I had never done in twenty fore years of driving.I put on the car flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights,I was saying to other drivers,"I have a problem here.I am weak and doing the best I can."And everyone understoof.Several times,I saw drivers who wanted to pass.They couldn't get around me because of the stream of passing traffic.But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes situations call for us to act strong and brave even when we don't feel that way.But those are and far between.More often,it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared.

分析 本文大意:
在動物界示弱會遭受攻擊而在人類社會示弱會得到他人的友善幫助.與此同時,提供幫助的人也會從中得到快樂.
逞強或假裝堅強的人看不到他人的友善,也使他人失去了為其提供幫助的機會.
上個月作者因身感不適緩慢開車,導致跟在后面的司機暴躁,生氣,超車,按喇叭甚至朝他大吼.但是,當他們看到作者打開車燈示意有問題時,又都對作者顯示了他們的耐心與善意.
通常情況下,當我們處于劣勢時或害怕時能夠示弱,不逞強,將有助于我們處境的好轉.
解答 26.A. 細節(jié)理解題.先抓住第一段最后一句"And I have discovered that it makes them happy."中的it.理解it為指示代詞,指代前文出現(xiàn)的內容.所以再根據(jù)前面一句"I see it every day when people hold doors for me,pour cream into my coffee,or help me to put on my coat."可知,人們在給別人提供幫助的時候感到快樂.故選A.
27.D. 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第二段"but sometimes I feel sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily"可知,一些人會與他人的善意擦肩而過.故選D.
28.B.細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第五段"But instead of getting impatient and angry,they waited,knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak."中instead of(而不是)可知,司機耐心地等待.故選B.
29.C. 推理判斷題.根據(jù)文章最后一句"it would be better if we don't pretend we feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we are scared."可知,適時示弱,承認自己的缺陷會改善我們的處境.故選C.
30.B.標題歸納.抓住文章的主題句--第一段中的"But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people."下面的內容都是為了進一步的闡述,論證.故選B.
點評 閱讀理解中標題歸納相對較難,解此題時一要注意無關內容不能選,譬如30題中的C選項strength沒有談到;更要注意不能以偏概全,譬如30題中的A和D,都只是文中的一個事例,內容的一部分而已.所以都不能選.
