A group of students got together to visit their old university professor. They talked about their troubles in work and life. After the professor had offered his guests a drink he went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and some cups—porcelain(瓷的)，plastic(塑料的), glass, crystal(水晶的), some plain looking，some beautiful and some expensive. The professor told them to help themselves to the coffee.

When all his students had a cup in hand，he said：“I don't know if you have noticed, but when all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, the plain and cheap ones were left behind. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source(根源) of your problems and stress.”

“What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups and were eyeing each other's cups to see if they were better.”

Life is the coffee, and the jobs, money and title(頭銜) are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life, and do not change the quality of life. Sometimes,_by_concentrating_only_on_the_cup,_we_fail_to_enjoy_the_coffee. So, don't let the cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee instead.

【2】What cups did the students choose?

_______________________________________．

【3】What did the professor think caused the student's problems?

_______________________________________．

【4】_______________________________________．

【5】_______________________________________。

【答案】

【1】their troubles in work and life．

【2】They chose nice looking expensive cups.

【3】They wanted only the best for themselves.

【4】Don't let the cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee instead.

【5】有時候，我們把注意力都集中在杯子上，而忘了享受咖啡。

【解析】

這篇短文是一個教育故事。文章介紹，一群同學(xué)在他們的大學(xué)老師家里聚會，話題很快轉(zhuǎn)向了抱怨工作和生活的壓力。老師巧妙地運(yùn)用咖啡和杯子的關(guān)系，教育學(xué)生：正如我們享受的是咖啡，而不是杯子一樣，我們應(yīng)該在乎的是生活的質(zhì)量，而非物質(zhì)待遇。

【1】根據(jù)第一段They talked about their troubles in work and life.可知他們在談?wù)摴ぷ骱蜕钪械膲毫Α９驶卮?/span>their troubles in work and life．

【2】根據(jù)文中all the nice looking expensive cups were taken up, the plain and cheap ones were left behind.可知所有的好看的昂貴的杯子都被拿走了，普通的便宜的杯子剩了下來。故回答They chose nice looking expensive cups.

【3】根據(jù)文中While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source(根源) of your problems and stress.”雖然你只想要最好的自己，這是正常的，但那也是你的問題和你壓力的根源所在。故回答They wanted only the best for themselves.

【4】縱觀全文，教授的目的是向?qū)W生說明，我們真正要享受的是咖啡，而不是裝咖啡的杯子。也就像我們的生活，要享受我們的生活，而不要讓外在的物質(zhì)條件影響了我們的生活質(zhì)量。故中心句是最后一句。Don't let the cups drive you. Enjoy the coffee instead.

【5】這里by可以理解為因為，concentrate意思是專注于…fail to do sth未能做某事，故翻譯為：有時候，我們把注意力都集中在杯子上，而忘了享受咖啡。

【題目】Last week，Chicago became the first city in the US to join the “Lights Out Plan”．People turned off the lights in the city's tallest buildings so that thousands of birds could get to their winter homes.Every year in autumn，some birds fly over Chicago on their way to the south and come back the next spring.

Lights mean danger to birds.Birds find their way by looking at the stars in the sky.Lights in tall buildings are so bright that birds may mistake them as stars.This means they can not find the right way to go home.

This month，about 300 types of birds are flying over Chicago to go back to the south to live through the cold winter.

Birds fly to warmer places for a few reasons.Many birds cannot live in the cold，so they fly to warmer places.But there are other reasons，too.Birds need to look for food in the south.Another reason is that they want to have baby birds.Many birds like to have their baby birds in the same “house” they lived in last year，so they fly back there.

There are about 9，000 kinds of birds in the world，and about 600 kinds of birds migrate．Some birds can fly a very long way.Sometimes they fly to other countries.We have fewer birds today because there are fewer places for birds.

【1】Why did people in Chicago turn off the lights in the city's tallest buildings last week?

A. Because people wanted to save money.

B. Because people were afraid that birds would lose their way.

C. Because people were afraid that birds would make much noise.

【2】What does the underlined word “migrate” mean in Chinese?

A. 遷徙 B. 定居 C. 冬眠

【3】Today we have fewer birds because ________.

A. lots of birds are often ill

B. people kill lots of birds

C. there are fewer places for birds

【4】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. All birds fly to warmer places every year.

Marie Curie was a great scientist. She was born in Warsaw, Poland, in 1867.Both of her parents were teachers. When Marie was only 10 years old, her mother died.

Young Marie was a very good student. She loved science, maths, and languages. She and her sister Bronya wanted to go to college. But in those days, only men could go to college in Poland. The girls had to go to France to study. There was not enough money for both sisters to go. So Marie worked as a teacher in Poland. She sent money to Bronya to pay for medical school in Paris. After Bronya became a doctor, she helped Marie.

When she was 24, Marie became a science student at the Sorbonne, a university in Paris. Even with her sister's help, she did not have much money. She lived in a small room near the college. It had no lights, no water, and no heat. Sometimes Marie only had bread and tea to eat.

Marie studied hard and graduated in 1894.A year later, she married Pierre Curie. He was also a scientist. They worked together for many years. Their most important discovery was radium (鐳). Today, doctors use the rays from radium to treat cancer. The Curies won a Nobel Prize for their discovery. This is the highest award for a scientist. Marie Curie was the first woman to receive this award.

When Marie Curie was 39, Pierre died in a street accident. But she continued their work. Curie became the first woman professor in France. In 1911, she won a second Nobel Prize. But years of working with radium ruined(損壞) her health. She died of cancer in 1934.Her daughter Irene continued Curie's work. She_also_received_a_Nobel_Prize. Sadly, Irene also got cancer and died young. Both women gave their lives for their work.
