I'm here today to share a good lesson with you. It is a true story about astudent who studied in Germany.
After years of hard work, this student graduated with amazing achievements. Everyone was sure that he was going to get a good job easily and have a bright future. But to his surprise, he was not even given the chance for an interview! The third time he was refused, he couldn't help telephoning the company to ask why they didn't want him. The answer was simple. “We don't offer jobs to dishonest people in Germany.”
What was wrong, you might wonder? The truth is, shortly after he arrived in Germany, this clever student found that it was easy to skip(逃票) buying subway tickets in this country. So in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. As a result, he had been caught without a ticket many times.
From this story, we learn that we may get short-term benefits in dishonest ways, but the truth will com out sooner or later and the cost is high. So remember: honesty is the best rule.
【小題1】Did the student often buy a ticket when he took the subway?
_________________________________________
【小題2】Where did the student study?
__________________________________________
【小題3】According to the passage, what is the best rule?
___________________________________________


【小題1】No, he didn’t. /No.
【小題2】In Germany.
【小題3】Honesty is the best rule.

解析試題分析：今天我在這里與你分享一個(gè)很好的教訓(xùn)。這是一名學(xué)生在德國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)的真實(shí)故事，經(jīng)過多年的努力，以優(yōu)秀的成績(jī)畢業(yè)了，但是，他卻沒有找到一份工作，原因是以前，為了省錢，沒有買票就去乘地鐵，做為有不誠(chéng)實(shí)的記錄，因此不能找到工作。從中說明：誠(chéng)實(shí)是最好的規(guī)則。
【小題1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：當(dāng)這名學(xué)生乘地鐵的時(shí)候，他經(jīng)常買票嗎？聯(lián)系原文：in order to save money, he often went in the subway without a ticket. 句意：為了省錢，他經(jīng)常不買票去乘地鐵。因此本題問句為否定回答。故填No, he didn’t. /No.
【小題2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：這名學(xué)生在哪里學(xué)習(xí)？聯(lián)系原文：It is a true story about astudent who studied in Germany.句意：一個(gè)真實(shí)的故事講述一名學(xué)生在德國(guó)學(xué)習(xí)。明確學(xué)習(xí)的地點(diǎn)為德國(guó)。故填I(lǐng)n Germany.
【小題3】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。問題：根據(jù)短文，最好的規(guī)則是什么？通過閱讀短文，得知一名學(xué)生成績(jī)優(yōu)秀，但是，存在著不誠(chéng)實(shí)的現(xiàn)象，所以不能得到一份工作。在短文的最后一段也體現(xiàn)這一點(diǎn)：誠(chéng)實(shí)是最好的規(guī)則。故填Honesty is the best rule.
考點(diǎn)：人生百味類短文閱讀。

Old age may not sound exciting. But recent findings offer good news for older people and for people worried about getting older. Researchers found that people become happier and experience less worry after they reach the age of fifty. In fact, they say by the age of eighty-five, people are happier with their life than they were when they were eighteen years old.
The researchers asked questions about emotions like happiness, sadness and worry. They also asked about mental or emotional stress. They also found that levels of stress were highest among adults between the ages of twenty-two and twenty-five.The findings showed that stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their fifties.
The study also showed that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older. However, women at all ages reported more sadness, stress and worry than men.
Researchers say they do not know why happiness increases as people get older. One theory is that, as people grow older, they grow more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions. They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.

Values join us together and set us apart. Today, our society has a terrible lack（缺乏） of values. Here are some social values that everyone needs.
Respect
Respect means to respect others in everyday life. Even if you are against a person, it is important to have respect. It is this respect that makes us human. Without respect, we become animals. We need to respect our friends for our friendship. We even need to respect our enemies because they help us to grow up and become stronger. Respect is one of the crucial values in a relationship.
Love
Love is everything. With love in our hearts, we feel no need to hurt another. With love in our hearts, we will pay more attention to the similarities in opinions rather than the disagreement. If we want others to be good to us, we need to be good to them. After all, we give love to get love, right?
Loyalty
People often ignore (忽視） the meaning and importance of loyalty. Loyalty is necessary for people to believe in each other. In no matter what kind of friendship, we need to believe in each other so that we can work together towards the same goal.
Honesty
Honesty is to show other people who we really are. Honesty helps to do better, because it makes us realize our problems and find ways to solve them. It is this honesty that will make others help you out, not because you need it, but because they have problems, too, which you can help out with. This honesty will help us follow the other values in society and truly, “Heal the world!”

There was a lovely vegetable patch (菜園). A large tree grew there. Both the patch and the tree gave the place a wonderful look, and they were the pride of the gardener. But no one knew that the vegetables and the tree couldn’t stand each other. The vegetables hated the tree’s shadow (陰影), because it left them only just enough light to live. The tree, on the other hand, hated the vegetables because they drank nearly all the water, leaving him just enough to live.

If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.
Take the taxi driver as an example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high- class Bens with a fare (車費(fèi)) of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to take you to any place you want to, say that you have some business to attend to (料理), and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver will not be anxious.
The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests (客人), but also serve outside eaters. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining room to have their meals. The only thing they need to do is to show their cards to the waiter. You can easily use any old room card to take a couple of friends to eat dinner without paying.
The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. But to my surprise, they can remember everything so clearly that the workers only need to say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid by their boss.
With so many loopholes (漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven (天堂) to those who love to take “small advantages”. But the strange thing is: all the taxi passengers will always come back to pay their fare after they have dealt with their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms; and workers always give an honest answer of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good trust in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman (紳士)”.
【小題1】Are the Finns really foolish?
【小題2】 What is the taxi fare in Finland?
【小題3】Who can have free dinner in hotels?
【小題4】Will the Finnish workers get paid by the hour or by the day?
【小題5】 What do you think of the people in Finland?
