My mom once told me that after I learned to say “Mama” and “Dada”, my third word was “No!” Sadly, I
used that word too often as a boy. I didn’t want to eat my vegetables. I didn’t want to go to bed on time. I didn’t
want to work in the garden. I would much rather read books than help my mom and grandma with the boring
housework. Being the youngest of three sons, I probably said “no” a lot more than I should have.
As I grew up, I began to say “yes!” a lot more. I can remember making the bed and sweeping the floor. I felt
really happy to help my parents. I can remember studying hard to get good grades in school and the pride in my
parents’ eye when I got into college. I can remember learning that saying “yes” could bring more happiness into
my life than saying “no” ever did.
Even now, I am still learning how to say “Yes”. My only advice to you is not to wait as long as I did. Say
“yes” to life. Say “yes” to love. Say “yes” to helping others and making this word a better place. “Yes” may only
be a word, but it can change your life.
1. We can infer (推断) from Paragraph 1 that the writer ________.
A. preferred to agree with others
B. was ready to do lots of housework
C. could get on well with others
D. wasn’t the only child in his family
2. When the writer was a boy, he said “________” too often.
A. yes B. no C. Mama D. Dada
3. As the writer grew up, the thought that saying “yes” ________.
A. was more difficult than he thought
B. would cause him a lot of trouble
C. made him very popular in college
D. could bring him more happiness
4. What is the best title for the passage?
A. To Love And to Be Loved B. Less Talk And More Work
C. Less “No” And More “Yes” D. More Giving And Less Getting
CMany of you have probably had this experience: You get on a train and are ready to take a rest or read a
book, only to find that the passenger in front of you is watching a TV show on his pad without earphones. The
child next to you won’t stop crying. And the old lady behind you talks on her phone during the whole trip.
Wish the train could be less noisy? There might be good news for you. The Bejing-Shanghai high- speed rail
lines will have “quiet” carriages(车厢) starting from Dec 23.
In quiet carriages, videos on the train will be kept quiet and notices will be given at a lower volume (音量).
Doors at the end of the carriage will be kept closed to reduce noise from other carriages. Train workers will make
sure that passengers remain quiet and follow the rules. Passengers who promise to follow the rules can choose the
quiet carriages when book ing their tickets.
Although many Internet users are in favor of the new service, there has also been a hot discussion. Some
people have pointed out that this kind of quiet environment should be offered in all carriages because having quiet
carriages might make people feel that they don’t need to be quiet in non - quiet carriages. Besides, people just
wonder how quiet they should be in quiet carriages and they may have questions such as “What if I snore(打呼
噜)?” and “Can we talk to our friends if we need to?”
1. Why did the writer mention the train experience?
A. To give some advice. B. To lead in the main topic.
C. To share his idea. D. To introduce a new research.
2. What do the underlined words “in favor of” in the last paragraph probably mean?
A. 赞同 B. 反对 C. 讨论 D. 质疑
3. What is the text mainly about?
A. The noise from the train. B. Suggestions on the Internet use.
C. The coming of quiet carriages. D. Rules for passengers on the train.
D
As I grow up, I know that life plays a very important role in my education I really wanted to achieve. What I
mean is that life can teach you things no one else can. Luckily for you, it's time to have lessons of life. Pay
attention and you can know what I call the school of life.
Use Your Head
You have to be smart to survive (生存) in this world. Anytime you need to make a move, stop and think.
Obviously there will be times when you need to take action first, but if you've been taking the time to plan, you'll
always make the right choice. Fail to plan, plan to fail.
Set Your Goals
In my team, if you don't finish the job well, we will fire you. Your goals should be on building a basic ofsolid and complete work. Make certain a list of what you have to do and start with the biggest and most difficult
task. The key here is goals.
Respect Your Superiors (上级)
Your boss is in his position for a reason, no matter what you think of him. If he's not the best one, be patient
—he'll be out of there soon. In the meantime, you have to respect him as your superior. That means following
orders and closing your mouth. If you don't respect your boss, how will you expect the people under you to do the
same?
Keep Your Cool
You should never let your emotions (情绪) control you. You should learn to keep calm. Never lose your cool
when dealing in business, or it will ruin the whole thing.
The school of life can be hard, but if you're smart and play your cards right, you can come out with an A+. Just
treat every situation as a learning experience. I hope you've studied.
1. From the passage, we learn that the author is probably ________.
A. a young student B. a regular customer
C. a magazine editor D. an experienced manager
2. It can be learnt from the passage that ________.
A. you will win your life if you fail to make your plan
B. setting goals isn't important when you're doing a job
C. it will ruin the whole thing if you lose your cool
D. you can never get an A+ if you keep working hard
3. According to the passage, what should you do if your boss isn't the best one?
A. Respect him as your superior. B. Don't follow his orders.
C. Make him out of his position. D. Don't close your mouth.
4. Which would be the best title for the passage?
A. The School of Life Can Be Hard B. Learning from the School of Life
C. All of Your Favourite Education D. Hoping for a Chance to Be on Top
E
China and Western countries have something different in cultures about certain animals, but when it comes to
pigs, we have the same idea—pigs are ugly, lazy and stupid.
Just look at some Chinese sayings such as “Boiling a dead pig.” and “A pig looking in the mirror is still a
pig.” And in English, there are some expressions like “Eating like a pig.” and “Pigs might fly.” None of them are
complimentary.
However, pigs have some good qualities(品质). They are even as smart as dogs and elephants. They havegood memories. And they know whether people treat them well or not.
A UK cartoon, Peppa Pig is a most popular cartoon. The four members in the pig family teach children
from all around the world about love, friendship and the value of family. And a Chinese cartoon film, The
Adventures of McDull, is also very famous. In the cartoon, the little pig, McDull, has a heart of gold and always
works hard towards his dreams. Most people want quick success, but McDull is slow and patient, and not afraid of
failing again and again.
Maybe when we talk about pigs next time, we should think of their good qualities.
1. China and western countries have ________ in cultures according to the passage.
A. the same idea towards pigs B. different ideas towards pigs
C. the same idea towards all the animals D. different ideas towards all the animals
2. What does the underlined word “complimentary” mean in Chinese?
A. 固执的 B. 赞美的 C. 负面的 D. 诚恳的
3. The writer gives the two examples of cartoons in the passage to show ______
A. pigs have good qualities B. the two cartoons are well-known’s
C. both Chinese and English children like pigs D. pigs have bad qualities
