根据短文内容, 从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Most of us lead a busy life. 1 We think, “If I reached my goal, then I would be happy”, or “If I could get a better job, then I would enjoy life.” But why not enjoy life right now?

Firstly, take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings. 2 “There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!” And as Brodersen explains. “Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend’s smile that brightens your day. Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see. Doing so helps to cheer you up.”

Secondly, taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress. Take me for example. 3 One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh. Make time to laugh every day.

Thirdly, don’t take your family and friends for granted. Rich, rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life. When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them? 4 As Wayne Lawton explains, “Invest time in relationships. Remove the attitude, what’s in it for me? Happiness is found in putting other’s interests, desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible. Selfishness is a dead-end street.” 5

A.I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink, a bubble bath or family photos.

B.In my spare time, I enjoy collecting stamps and reading novels.

C.Driven by the “urgent”, we forget to enjoy life.

D.So please treasure relationship.

E. You don’t need to travel far to find beauty.

F. Be aware of beauty in nature.

G. A short e-mail or phone call can make a world of difference to someone.

 

 C  E  A  G  D 【解析】 试题分析:  C 根据上一句Most of us lead a busy life.说明很多人都忙于生活,故C项内容我们忙于琐事,却忘记了享受生活。符合上下文的串联。  E 根据下句“There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!”说明在我们的身边就有很多美丽的风景,故E项与上下文是贴切的。  A 根据上一句taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress.说明要从简单的事情中得到快乐,故A与之相符。  G 根据上一句When you think of someone, why not call, e-mail or write them?说明有时候电话或者发个邮件都会有很好的作用,故G项内容与之相符。  D 根据上句“Invest time in relationships.说明我们要在相互的关系上投入更多的时间,要珍惜我们的友谊,故D项正确。 考点:考查文章的整体理解

Every year, as Spring Festival draws near, most Chinese people will get excited to make preparation for the most important festival and make plan for the winter break. It is a little like Christmas in the United States, but there are some differences between the two festivals.

Both the major Chinese and the major Western holidays come during the cold season, and special food is expected. In western countries, cookies and cakes begin just after Thanksgiving in November and show up everywhere. Turkey, potatoes and other food come later. Similar thing happens in China. Entering lunar December, most families will make shopping plans for the coming big day and food is certainly one of the most important things to be considered. At the end of the month, both parents in each family will be very busy---the father is busy buying food while the mother is busy cooking.

A deeper similarity (相似处) is tradition. Christmas, as the letters “Christ” suggests, began as a holiday to celebrate the birthday of Jesus Christ. Many people pray (祈祷) on this day. In China, people living in cities or towns, though they don’t plan to sow seeds(播种) this month, still celebrate on the big day for farmers.

Followers of both holidays are also different from each other. While Chinese people travel to the homes of elder relatives, Americans usually call or send cards. Westerners prefer Christmas carols to fireworks. In Christmas, many family gifts come together instead of one by one, since adults may have only one day free to celebrate.

But the most curious difference is about students. Chinese students going home for Spring Festival sometimes report that they get bored by the end of vacation, yet American students seldom get bored around Christmas and western New Year.

Not everyone enjoys classic holiday traditions. Students in western countries may get upset, as too much homework, travel or bad family relations may destroy the short holiday season. In China, more and more college students choose to travel or work during the winter holiday instead of going home to stay with their families. It’s against the tradition but many people accept it.

1.What does “the coming big day” (Paragraph 2) refer to?

A.Christmas                             B.Thanksgiving Day

C.the New Year’s Day                     D.the Spring Festival

2.The second and the third paragraphs mainly talk about ________.

A.the similarities between Christmas and the Spring Festival

B.the differences between Christmas and the Spring Festival

C.the preparations for Christmas and the Spring Festival

D.the history of Christmas and the Spring Festival

3.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in this passage?

A.Food in different festivals.

B.Differences between two festivals.

C.Festivals in China and western countries.

D.Traditional celebrations in different countries.

I know what you’re thinking : pizza (比萨饼)? For breakfast? But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to

I know lots of women who skip breakfast (不吃早餐), and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it . Some say they don’t have time,others think they’re “saving” calories (卡路里), and still others just don’t like breakfast food .

But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all,” says Katherine Brooking , R , D , who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s “SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s loaded with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.

Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southem California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.

So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just coffee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it may sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself, “You can always eat it tomorrow,” I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it,and then you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.

1.The underlined word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________.

A.food remaining after a meal               B.things left undone

C.meals made of vegetables                 D.pizza topped with fruit

2.What can we infer from the text?

A.Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.

B.Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.

C.There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.

D.Eating vegetables helps save energy.

3.According to the last paragraph, it is important to____________.

A.eat something for breakfast               B.be careful about what you eat

C.heat up food before eating it               D.eat calorie-controlled food

4.The text is written mainly for those_____________.

A.who go to work early                    B.who want to lose weight

C.who stay up late                        D.who eat before sleep

A kindergarten teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few potatoes. Each potato will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of potatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will depend on the number of people he/she cannot forgive(宽恕).

So when the day came, every child brought some potatoes with the name of the people he/she hated. Some had 2 potatoes; some 3, while some had up to 5 potatoes.

The teacher then told the children to carry the potatoes with them wherever they go (even to the toilet) for one week. With days passing by, the children started to complain because of the unpleasant smell let out by the rotten (腐烂) potatoes they were carrying.

Those children who have 5 potatoes really began to feel the weight of the heavier bags. After one week, the children were happy to hear that the teacher had finally ended the game. The teacher asked: "How did you feel while carrying the potatoes with you for one week?" The children started complaining of the trouble that they had to carry the heavy and smelly potatoes wherever they go.

Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: "This is exactly the situation when you carry your hatred(仇恨)for somebody inside your heart. The burden(负担)of hatred will pollute your heart and you will end up carrying an unnecessary burden with you wherever you go.

If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten potatoes for just one week, can you imagine what a burden it would be to have the hatred in your heart for your lifetime?"

1.According to the teacher, if a Child hates three persons, he or she needs to carry ________.

A.one potato        B.two potatoes       C.three potatoes     D.four potatoes

B.Students should love people around them.
