27、 We always knew our daughter Kendall was going to be a performer of some sort. She entertained people in our small town by putting on shows when she was only three or four. She sang like a little angel.
When Kendall was five, she was clearing her throat frequently. We took her to our local hospital where she was diagnosed with Tourette’s Syndrome (图雷特综合征).
It was pretty destructive because other children made fun of her, and sadly, even a teacher laughed at her. She only had one or two friends, but that was okay because they were —and continue to be — real, the kind who stick by her, no matter what. Through all this, Kendall continued to sing and entertain. Remarkably, her tics(抽搐)disappeared when she sang.
When Kendall was sixteen, we thought she was pretty much out of the woods. However, a terrible accident happened. At a birthday party, Kendall hopped (单脚跳)on a friend for a piggyback ride. Kendall flew over his back and landed on the floor—on her neck. An ambulance rushed her to the hospital where she spent the next week, paralyzed from the neck down. However, her biggest concern wasn’t whether she would walk again, but whether she would be able to audition for American Idol. Her friend brought a microphone and every day, Kendall tried hard to practise singing. It was more important for her to pick up that mic than a spoon or fork.
On the day Kendall auditioned for American Idol — only three months after her accident —we cried tears of joy. And our tears turned into shouts when she was given a golden ticket to Hollywood.
Kendall is eighteen now, living every day to its fullest and having some good success.
【1】How did some of Kendall’ s friends react to her disease?
A.They made fun of her. B.They laughed at her.
C.They were always there for her. D.They gave whatever she wanted.
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards Kendall?
A.She believes Kendall can make it big some day.
B.She worries Kendall’ s illness will worsen.
C.She feels sorry for not having found a better treatment.
D.She is always keen on charity.
【3】In what order is the passage developed?
A.Place. B.Time. C.Space. D.Importance.
【4】From the passage, we can infer Kendall is a girl__________.
A.with a strong mind B.who has long-time fans
C.popular among classmates D.who prefers music to sports
28、How many people have I met who have told me about the book they have been planning to write but have never yet found the time? Far too many.
This is Life, all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal(排演)and, unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.
We take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families, always making ourselves believe that this style of life is only a temporary(暂时的)state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. Then, at 60 or 65, we are suddenly given a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for Real Life to come along were in fact real life.
In America they have a saying much laughedat by the English: “Have a nice day.” They speak slowly and seriously in their shops, hotels and sandwich bars. I think it is a wonderful phrase, making us remember, in effect, to enjoy the moment: to value this very day.
How often do we say to ourselves “I’ll take up horse-riding(or golf, or sailing)as soon as I get a greater job.” But only to do none of those things when we do get the higher position.
When I first became a reporter I knew a man who gave up a very well-paid respectable job at Daily Telegraph to go and work for a small weekly newspaper. At the time I was surprised by his decision: Why was he in this completely abnormal mental(精神) state? How could anyone turn his back on Fleet Street in central London for a small area in the countryside? I wanted to know.
Now when I am a little older and possibly wiser, I see the sense in it. In Fleet Street the man was under continuous pressure. He lived in all unattractive London suburb(郊区)and he spent much of his life sitting on Southern Region trains to and back from his work.
【1】 The first paragraph of the passage tells us that .
A. we always try to find some time to write a book
B. we always make plans but seldom complete them
C. we always enjoy many of life’s best moments
D. we always do what we really want to do
【2】 The underlined phrase “turn his back on” (Paragraph 6) most probably means .
A. leave for B. return to C. rely on D. give up
【3】The man who worked at Daily Telegraph left this job because he was .
A. under too much pressure
B. in an abnormal mental state
C. not well-paid
D. not respected
【4】What is probably the best title for the passage?
A. Provide Homes for Our Family
B. Take Up Horse-Riding
C. Value This Very Day
D. Stay Alive
29、There is certainly evidence that actors experience a combination of their real self with their assumed characters. For example, Benedict Cumberbatch said, “My mum says I’m much more impatient with her when I’m filming Sherlock.”
Mark Seton, a researcher at the University of Sydney, has even invented the term “post-dramatic stress disorder” to describe the lasting effects experienced by actors who lose themselves in a role. “Actors may often prolong (延长) habits of the characters they have role-played.” he writes
A recent finding doesn’t involve acting, and it shows that just spending some time thinking about another person seemed to rub off on the volunteers’ sense of self led by Meghan Meyer at Princeton University. Across several studies, these researchers asked volunteers to first rate their own personalities, memories or physical features, and then to perform the same task from the perspective (视角) of another person. For example, they might score the emotionality (情绪性) of various personal memories, and then rate how a friend or relative would have experienced those same events.
After taking the perspective of another, the volunteers scored themselves once again: the finding was that their self-knowledge was now changed —their self-scores had changed to become more similar to those they’d given for someone else. For example, if at first they had said the term “confident” was only loosely related to themselves and then rated the term as being strongly related to a friend’s personality, when they came to rescore themselves, they now tended to see themselves as more confident.
“By simply thinking about another person, we may adapt our self to take the shape of that person” said Meyer and her colleagues. That our sense of self should have this quality might be a little discouraging, especially for anyone who has struggled to establish a firm sense of identity. Yet there is an optimistic message here, too. The challenge of improving ourselves— or at least seeing ourselves in a more positive light— might be a little easier than we thought. By role-playing or acting out the kind of person we would like to become, or just by thinking about and spending time with people who have the kind of features we would like to see in ourselves, we can find that our sense of self changes in desirable ways.
“As each of us chooses who to befriend, who to model, and who to ignore,” write Meyer and her colleagues, “we must make these decisions aware of how they shape not only the structure of our social networks, but even our sense of who we are.”
【1】The first two paragraphs mainly ______.
A.state that acting requires skills
B.show that a role leaves a mark on the actor
C.explain the stress that an actor faces
D.stress the importance of devoting oneself to a role
【2】What does the underlined phrase “rub off on” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A.Confuse.
B.Strengthen.
C.Influence.
D.Determine.
【3】According to the study, taking the perspective of another person ______.
A.brings changes to one’s self-knowledge
B.makes one better understand himself
C.helps people deal with their identity problems
D.produces short-term effects on one’s character
【4】What is the significance of the study?
A.It offers instructions on making friends.
B.It presents a way to deal with stress disorder.
C.It gives advice on adjusting one’s emotions.
D.It suggests a means to improve ourselves.
