27、 How difficult change is depends a lot on your attitude towards it and your resistance to it. Your attitude to change can make the whole transformation process much easier.
Imagine change as a pair of shoes and this will help you understand change and how it works. I am sure that you have ever had a comfortable pair of shoes in your life. A pair of shoes is so comfortable that you really don’t want to get rid of them.
You know you need a new pair, and may even have them, but you don’t want to wear them because you are comfortable with your current pair. Besides, the new pair may hurt your feet, give you blisters（水疱）or be awkward to wear to start with. So, you resist the new shoes. However, you know that this new pair would be much better for your feet, and after the initial discomfort they would probably be even more comfortable, yet you still resist.
Do you know I’m doing this now? I’m wearing my comfortable shoes and they feel good. They have a hole in each heel, and the sole is starting to fall off, but I’m persisting in wearing them.
This describes change exactly; change of our habits, change of our thought patterns. We stick with the old patterns because they are comfortable. Yet once we get over the initial pain of the transformation, the new pattern will be comfortable and feel good until the time comes when we need another new pair of shoes.
【1】Why do people prefer old shoes to new ones?
A.They have much emotion in the old ones.
B.They are more comfortable.
C.New shoes always harm the feet.
D.They look better than the new ones.
【2】According to the passage, we know that people _______.
A.don’t realize the benefit of the new shoes very well
B.are positive and open - minded to accept new things
C.actually know the change will finally be good for them
D.don’t accept new patterns because they are not good
【3】What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Once we form a habit, it’s difficult to change it.
B.Most people pay more attention to the future life.
C.One’s attitude to towards something is usually traditional.
D.The more often we change, the better our life will be.
28、 An apology is an expression of regret for something you've done wrong，and serves as a way to repair a relationship after that wrongdoing. We all need to learn how to apologize.【1】We all make mistakes，and we all have the ability to hurt people. It isn't always easy to apologize，but it's the most effective way to regain trust and balance in a relationship. Here is a four-step framework that you can use when you make an apology.
Every apology needs to start with two magic words: "I'm sorry," or “I apologize." This is essential because these words express regret over your actions. Your words need to be sincere. Be honest about why you want to apologize. 【2】Apologize as soon as you realize that you've wronged someone else.
Next，admit responsibility for your actions or behavior. Here，you need to understand the person you wronged, and show that you understand how you made her feel.【3】 Instead, simply try to put yourself in that person's shoes and imagine how she felt.
【4】When you do so, you take action to make the situation right. For example" If there's anything that I can do to make this up to you, please just ask. "Think carefully about this step. Empty promises will do more harm than good. Because you feel guilty, you might give more than what's appropriate.
Your last step is to explain that you won't repeat the action or behavior. This step is important because you promise that you' re going to change your behavior. This helps you rebuild trust and repair the relationship.【5】 If you promise to change your behavior, but don't follow through, others will question your reputation and your trustworthiness.
A. Don't make assumptions.
B. After all, no one is perfect.
C. Timeliness is also important here.
D. Make up for the damage that was done.
E. We all need to learn how to forgive and forget.
F. You should try to see things from that person's angle.
G. Make sure that you keep your word in the days to come.
29、 Last night, I found my mother sit with her legs crossed on the sofa, looking through her iPhone with her glasses. This is not the first time I have caught her like this. My father once tapped (敲) away on his phone with a serious look on his face, saying the “I’ll be with you shortly” line. I have learned by now that this is to tell me to leave him alone for the next 10 minutes. Although they don’t like admitting it, both of my parents couldn’t go without their phones as I do.
Growing up, we are repeatedly reminded that we are those who prefer to text our friends in the same room rather than make eye contact with them. We are ruining the English language because we like using heart-eyes emojis (表情符号) instead of spelling it out. And even though I can recognize myself as a social media (媒体) addict, I think parents should at least consider that not only the young generation (代), but also they like phones.
I get upset when I receive the “I’ll be with you shortly” line from a parent. But, at the same time, leaving the room to wait until my father is finished with his “serious business” has now become the norm.
Whether you want to escape your noisy children for a while, or want to stay up late tapping through Twitter, all of these are common. But you should fully understand it. We—your children—know how addictive it can be and how difficult it is to turn it off. So before calling us out and telling us to “put our phones away at the table” or even worse, saying how damaging social media can be to us, maybe you should lead by example and consider how much time you spend on the phone as well as how this is influencing your children and your relationship with them. Maybe in this way we can work on our addiction together.
【1】What can we learn about the author’s parents?
A.They become addicted to phones like him.
B.They’ve been forced to use phones by him.
C.They like buying their phones online at home.
D.They often communicate with him by phone.
【2】What is the young generation’s weakness according to paragraph 2?
A.Having fewer chances to learn social skills.
B.Failing to express themselves in a right way.
C.Getting angry easily when facing their parents.
D.Giving up the ways of communicating directly.
【3】What does the underlined word “norm” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.Fixed tradition. B.Accepted behavior.
C.Expected decision. D.Unforgettable experience.
【4】What advice is given to parents in the last paragraph?
A.Behaving well in front of children. B.Putting the phones away at the table.
C.Taking more time to stay with children. D.Having good communication with children.
