Question

    Read the following three posts from the website, ifonly.com, and answer the questions that follow.

CJ, 31, social worker I wish I had given the plain-looking guys a second chance while I was at school. I always went for handsome, athletic types. So, where am I today? Married to a good-looking fool. A handsome man who has no heart, no sympathy, and no love for anyone but himself. I sometimes visit my family back in my hometown and occasionally I run into old classmates --- the plain-looking guys. And what do I see now? Very intelligent, warm, funny men who are everything I want, but will never have in a husband.

Mia, 22, photographer When I was at school I played in most of the school sports teams. I remember one year our football team had to win the last game to get into the finals. Three minutes of the game left and we needed to score. I got control of the ball and ran towards the goal. Our captain was right next to me shouting “go on, take a shot”. But I panicked and passed the ball to her. She shot and missed. If only I hadn’t passed the ball. I knew immediately that if I had taken the shot I would have scored. Ever since that game I’ve always taken every opportunity I could.

Ben, 52, mechanic I wish I had listened to my parents more when I was a teenager. Thinking back, I find they gave me lots of good advice, but I ignored everything they said. I thought they were old and didn’t know anything. Now I have got two teenagers of my own and realize how right they were. If I had listened to them, I might have made some better decisions in my life. I would have gone to university and probably waited a bit before I got married. I hope my daughters will listen to me more than I listened to my parents.

【解析】

这是一篇应用文。文章截取了在ifonly网站上网友的留言，讲述了他们各自觉得后悔的一件事。CJ希望能给喜欢自己的那个长相平平的男生再一次机会。Mia希望自己能直接射门而不是传球给自己的队长。Ben希望自己在青少年时期能多听取父母的意见。

1.主旨大意题。文章第一段第一句提到“I wish I had given the plain-looking guys a second chance while I was at school.”CJ现在的老公除了长得好看之外性格非常的不好，她希望在学校的时候能够再给一次机会给那个长相平平的男生。因此“再一次机会”符合第一段内容。故选A。

2.细节理解题。第三段提到“I wish I had listened to my parents more when I was a teenager. Thinking back, I find they gave me lots of good advice, but I ignored everything they said.”在自己还是个青少年的时候，常常忽视了父母给他提供的很多好的建议，说明Ben在年轻时以为自己能够自己做决定。故选D。

3.推理判断题。网站名字为“如果网”，同时结合文章内容可知，是网友分享了自己觉得后悔的事情。A. Greetings.问候，B. Regrets.遗憾，C. School life.学校生活，D. Original ideas最初的想法。故选B。
