21、There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy, the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.
People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things. The pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine, the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation. It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact (接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.
【1】The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means________.
A. have a good taste with social life B. make others unhappy
C. tend to scold others openly D. enjoy the pleasure of life
【2】We can conclude from the passage that ________.
A. we should pity all such unhappy people
B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social life
C. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness
D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons
【3】If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should ________.
A. prevent any communication with them
B. show no respect and politeness to them
C. persuade them to recognize the bad effects
D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes
【4】In this passage, the writer mainly ________.
A. describes two types of people B. laughs at the unhappy people
C. suggests ways to help unhappy people D. tells people how to be happy in life
22、Two friends have an argument that bleaks up their friendship forever, even though neither one can remember how the whole thing got started. Such sad events happen over and over in high schools across the country. In fact, according to an official report on youth violence, "In our country today, the greatest threat to the lives of children and adolescents is not disease or starvation or abandonment, but the terrible reality of violence". Given that this is the case, why aren't students taught to manage conflict the way they are taught to solve math problems, drive cars, or stay physically fit?
First of all, students need to realize that conflict is unavoidable. A report on violence among middle school and high school students indicates that most violent incidents between students begin with a relatively minor insult (侮辱). For example, a fight could start over the fact that one student eats a peanut butter sandwich each lunchtime. Laughter over the sandwich can lead to insults, which in turn can lead to violence. The problem isn't in the sandwich, but in the way students deal with the conflict.
Once students recognize that conflict is unavoidable, they can practice the golden rule of conflict resolution---stay calm. Once the student feels calmer, he or she should choose words that will calm the other person down as well. Rude words, name-calling, and accusation only add fuel to the emotional fire. On the other hand, soft words spoken at a normal sound level can put out the fire before it explodes out of control.
After both sides have calmed down, they can use another key strategy for conflict resolution: listening. Listening allows the two sides to understand each other. One person should describe his or her side, and the other person should listen without interrupting. Afterward, the listener can ask non-threatening questions to clarify the speaker's position. Then the two people should change roles.
Finally, students need consider what they are hearing. This doesn't mean trying to figure out what's wrong with the other person. It means understanding what the real issue is and what both sides are trying to accomplish. For example, a shouting match over a peanut butter sandwich might happen because one person thinks the other person is unwilling to try new things. Students need to ask themselves questions such as these: How did this start? What do I really want? What am I afraid off? As the issue becomes clearer, the conflict often simply becomes smaller. Even if it doesn't, careful thought helps both sides figure out a mutual solution.
There will always be conflict in schools, but that doesn't mean there needs to be violence. After students in Atlanta started a conflict resolution program, according to Educators for Social Responsibility, "64 percent of the teachers reported less physical violence in the classroom; 75 percent of the teachers reported an increase in student cooperation; and 92 percent of the students felt better about themselves". Learning to resolve conflicts can help students deal with friends, teachers, parents, bosses, and coworkers. In that way, conflict resolution is a basic life skill that should be taught in schools across the country.
【1】From Paragraph 2 we can learn that _______.
A. violence is more likely to occur at lunchtime
B. students tend to lose their temper easily
C. a small conflict can lead to violence
D. the eating habit of a student is often the cause of a fight
【2】Why do students need to ask themselves the questions stated in Paragraph 5?
A. To make clear what the real issue is.
B. To get ready to buy new things.
C. To find out who to blame.
D. To figure out how to stop the shouting match.
【3】After the conflict resolution program was started in Atlanta, it was found that______.
A. more teachers felt better about themselves in schools
B. there was less student cooperation in the classroom
C. there was a decrease in classroom violence
D. the teacher-student relationship greatly improved
【4】The writer’s purpose for writing this article is to_______.
A. complain about problems in school education
B. advocate teaching conflict management in schools
C. teach students different strategies for school life
D. inform teachers of the latest studies on school violence
23、 The United States estimates that about one out of every 10 people on the planet today is at least 60 years old. By 2050, it’s projected to be one out of 5. This means that not only will there be more old people, but there will be relatively fewer young people to support them.
Professor Richard Lee of the University of California at Berkeley says this aging of the world has a great effect on economics. “Population aging increases the concentration of population in the older ages and therefore it is expensive,” he said.
Aging populations consume (消耗) more and produce less. With more people living longer, it could gel expensive. But Mr. Lee says with continuing increases in worker productivity and wise planning, it can be manageable.
Societies have different methods for caring for the elderly，but each carries a cost Generally, there are three types of support Seniors can live off the wealth they gained when they were younger. They can rely on their family to take care of them, or they can rely on the movement.
In industrialized nations, governments created publicly-funded (公共资助的) support systems. These worked relatively well until recent years, when aging population growth in places like the United States and Western Europe began to gradually weaken the systems’ finances(资金). These nations now face some tough choices. Mr. Lee says the elderly in some of these countries must either receive less money, retire later or increase taxes to make the system continuable.
Most developing nations haven’t built this type of government-funded support, but have instead relied on families to care for their elderly. These nations also generally have a much younger population, which means their situation is not as urgent as more developed nations. But Mr. Lee says that doesn’t mean they can pat no attention the issue. “Third World countries should give very careful thought to this process, to population aging and how it may affect their economies — now, before population aging even becomes an problem,” he explained.
【1】What is one of the likely results of population aging according to the passage?
A. There will be more old people than young ones.
B. More than 20% of people will be at least 60 years old.
C. It will be more difficult to support old people.
D. The world’s concentration will be on old people.
【2】What does Professor Lee think of the problem of population aging?
A. It is likely to manage it.
B. It is too expensive to solve it.
C. It depends on how much the old gained when young.
D. It depends on the wealth of the whole society.
【3】What problem do the public-funded support system in industrial nations face?
A. They face tough choice, B. There is not enough money to support the old.
C. Taxes are too low. D. Their populations grow too quickly.
【4】Which of (he following about developing countries is true?
A. So far their economies haven’t been greatly affected.
B. Their government give more money to support the old.
C. They needn’t pay attention to aging population.
D. Their situation is also serious.
24、 I was on the phone with a friend the other day, and she was sharing how she was overwhelmed (难以忍受的).She had too much going on — too many to-dos at work and at home, too many projects calling for her attention and too many employee issues that required her input. She felt unable to focus on anything long enough to bring it to an end.
As we talked it through, I was reminded of my computer when it freezes because it has so many windows open. Sometimes, I'm working on too many things, and my computer stops, as if paralyzed (瘫痪的),as if overwhelmed.
If our computer freezes when we’re handling too many tasks at once, then it’s no surprise that we would too. There’s too much data flowing around, too many ideas circulating, too many problems waiting to be solved. Too many windows open.
We need to learn to close some windows, to acknowledge that we can’t focus on everything at once, and that we'd be more effective if we focused on one thing at a time. We need the faith that we can step away from the projects we closed out right now.
Sometimes it feels like we have no choice, that everything is a crisis at this moment and nothing can be dropped, or even postponed. But there is usually something that can be put off or someone who can step in and take away some of our burden. We can manage expectations. We can choose. We can be more realistic about what we can get done, by when and how well.
We don't expect our electronics to run as well when too many windows arc open. Why should we expect that of ourselves? We need to close a few windows to overlook a few projects and to perhaps even power down for a few minutes so that we’re fresh and able to effectively handle all that comes our way.
【1】How does the author introduce the topic?
A.Raising questions. B.Relating an experience.
C.Offering a report. D.Giving a definition.
【2】What can be inferred from the text?
A.We can concentrate on everything at a time.
B.We can drop or postpone nothing in our life.
C.We can turn to someone to get rid of our burden.
D.We can power down and leave all things unsolved.
【3】What does the underlined word refer to in the last paragraph?
A.Running electronics well. B.Leaving many computers open.
C.Managing many things at a time. D.Handling the computer effectively.
【4】What’s the passage mainly about?
A.Why we are overwhelmed.
B.What we expect to manage.
C.How to run a frozen computer well.
D.How to handle overwhelming tasks properly.
