試題詳情
A few years back I worked in a university building that also housed a department full of psychologists,all of whom seemed to see us as perfect guinea pigs (豚鼠) for their latest theories.If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one,I'd cast a careful glance and ask "Why?" before grabbing the apple pie.
So,one day,when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to "Think about five things for which you're grateful every day for a week!",my response was frankly doubtful.I did the math.Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpowers to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie.
I wandered into the office of Heidi Zeitzer,the director of our school's Psychological Services Clinic. "What's with the gratitude thing?" I asked.You don't ask an academic question - even a simple one unless you're prepared for a long answer.Heidi came alive,and I sat down.That's when I first heard the term "positive psychology".The gratitude thing,as I had called it was but one small and simple element of the practice. "Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy," my friend Heidi explained. "It's only a week," she urged. "Try it." I did.And guess what?It worked.
Every day for a week,I found five distinct things for which I was thankful.They had to be different every day.I couldn't get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband.But I could,suggested Collie Cononley,another positive psychologist express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day.He's a great cook.He always puts our family first.
Life will never be perfect.I still see new stories that annoy me.The traffic in my city is maddening.I wish I could speed up my recovery.But with just one simple exercise,I'm rediscovering the peace of that old saying:accepting the things I can't change,working without complaint to change what I can,and being wise enough to know the difference.And all it took was a little gratitude.
(1)What's the Author's attitude toward the student with desserts? AA
A.Cautious.
B.Respectful.
C.Indifferent.
D.Supportive.
(2)Why was the author doubtful about the instructions? AA
A.Because she thought it wasn't worth the effort.
B.Because she didn't like expressing thanks often.
C.Because she needed to ask her friend to do it first.
D.Because she could do five things every day easily.
(3)What does Collie Cononley suggest the author should do? DD
A.Be grateful to her wonderful husband.
B.Be thankful for things but not people.
C.Be a great cook and put her family first.
D.Be specific about what she's thankful for.
(4)What's the best title for the test? CC
A.Don't Be Bothered by Small Things
B.We Can Change Everything If We Went
C.Practicing Gratitude Changed My Life
D.Bing Grateful to One Good Person

1.For several days Ⅰ(Jane Eyre) saw little of Mr.Rochester.One evening,I was invited to talk to him after dinner.There was a smile on his lips,and his eyes were shining brightly.As I was looking at him,he suddenly turned around and asked me, "Do you think I'm handsome,Miss Eyre?"
The answer somehow slipped from my tongue before I realized it: "No,sir."
"Ah,you are really unusual!You look like a quiet,serious little person,but you can be almost rude."
"Sir,I'm sorry.I shouldn't have given an immediate answer to such a question about appearances;I should have said that beauty doesn't matter,or something like that."
"No,you shouldn't!I see,you criticize my appearance,and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear!You have honesty and feeling.There are not many girls like you.Perhaps you have awful faults to counterbalance(抵消) your few good points."
I thought to myself that he might have too.He seemed to read my mind,and said quickly, "Yes,you're right.I have plenty of faults.I went the wrong way when I was twenty-one,and have never found the right path again.I might have been as good as you,and perhaps wiser.I am not a bad man,take my word for it,but I have done wrong.It wasn't my character,but circumstances that were to blame.Why do I tell you all this?Because you're the sort of person people tell their problems and secrets to,because you're sympathetic and you give them hope."
"Don't be afraid of me,Miss Eyre," he continued." You don't relax or laugh very much,perhaps because of the effect Lowood has had on you.But in time you will be more natural when you're with me,and laugh,and speak freely.You're like a bird in a cage.When you get out of the cage,you'll fly very high.Good night."
(1)Why did Mr.Rochester say "and then you stick a sly penknife under my ear" in paragraph 5?
A.Because Jane had offered some unnecessary explanations.
B.Because Jane had intended to be more critical.
C.Because Jane had regretted having talked to him.
D.Because Jane had intended to kill him with a knife.
(2)From what Mr.Rochester told Miss Eyre,we can conclude that he wanted to
A.tell her all his troubles
B.tell her his life experience
C.change her opinion of him
D.change his circumstances
(3)Mr.Rochester sounded
A.rude
B.cold
C.friendly
D.encouraging發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:11引用:2難度:0.5 -
2.To me,life without music would not be exciting.I realize that this is not true for everybody.Many people get along quite well without going to the concert,and listening to the record.But music plays an important part in everyone's life,whether he realizes it or not.Try to imagine,for example,what films or TV plays would be like without music.Would the feelings,the moving plot,and the greatest interests,be so exciting or dramatic?I'm not sure about it.
Now,we have been speaking of music in its more common meaning----the kind of music we hear in the concert hall.But if we look at some parts of music more closely,we discover them in our everyday life too----in the rhythm of the sea,the melody of a bird in the woods and so on.So music surely has meaning for everyone,in some way or other.And,of course,it has special meaning for those who have spent all their lives working on playing or writing music.
It is well said, "Through music a child enters into a world of beauty,expresses himself from his heart,feels the joy of doing things alone,learns to take care of others,develops his mind and makes his body strong."
(1)What does the writer say more about in the text?
A.Life full of music.
B.The importance of music.
C.Life without music.
D.The development of music.
(2)From the text,we learn that many people
A.go to the concert instead of enjoying music
B.get along quite well without music
C.don't realize the importance of music
D.think music would be less exciting than films
(3)What does the underlined word "melody" mean in the text?
A.flying
B.living
C.looking
D.singing
(4)From the last paragraph,we learn that music
A.is very necessary for our everyday life
B.is very important,especially for children
C.can make our life exciting and dramatic
D.can enter another beautiful world發(fā)布:2025/1/1 18:0:1組卷:6引用:3難度:0.6 -
