B
Listen carefully,working people! We would like to tell you something that could save your precious time and money! Best of all, it is free!
It’s“no”.What do you ask? We’ll say it again:“No”,a sweet and simple“no”.Say“no” at your office and see how quickly that pile of work on your desk disappears.
“Saying ‘no’ to others means you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself. Time is precious.People are spending money buying time。And yet we are willing to give up our time because we can’t say ‘no’.”said Leslie Charles,a professional speaker from East Lansing,Michigan.Susie Watson,a famous writer,said people who always say “yes” need to say “no” without guilt(內(nèi)疚)or fear of punishment.“I would rather have someone give me a loving‘no’ than all obligated(強(qiáng)制的)‘yes’,”she said.She feels “no” need to give an explanation when she says “no” either socially or professionally.Does she feel guilty about it?“Not at all,”said Watson,who is director of advertising and public relations at Timex Corp in Middlebury.Connecticut.“Most people are afraid of saying ‘no’.My advice is to say ‘yes’ only if you don’t mean ‘no’.”Watson said “no” is the most effective weapon against wasting time.“Every year there are more demands on your time.Other people are happy to use up your time.”Watson said.Time saving appears to be “no’s” greatest friend.
“No” can be your new friend.a(chǎn) powerful tool to take back your life.“No” may even take you further in the business world than “yes”.“No” is power and strength.“No” now seems completely correct.
“Saying ‘no’ isn’t easy.But finally it’s greatly liberating,”Charles said.But,he added,a “no” project needs to be worked on every day because it is hard to change long-term
habit.But.he also warns:“Don’t go to extremes.Don’t find yourself saying ‘no’ to everything. In return you should learn to hear ‘no’.”
45.The underlined part “you are saying ‘yes’ to yourself” probably means that .
A.you can have more time to play with others
B.you needn’t mind other’s feeling when happy
C.you are selfish and may treat others rudely
D.you can do with your business as planned
46.When you say “no” to others,you should say it .
A. secretly B.politely C.proudly D.guiltily
47.In Watson’s opinion,people can save much time if they .
A.1earn to refuse B. refuse as much as possible
C.fear to refuse D. refuse without hesitation
48.If you say “no” to everything.you’11 .
A.make a lot of money B.enjoy a more wonderful life
C.face difficulty in life D. forget to say “yes” in the end

科目:高中英語 來源:2010年山東省鄒城一中高三4月考試英語試題 題型:閱讀理解
I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage. For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father. Totally loving. No ifs, ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio. The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives. Then he went on to say, “Love is an act of will. A person can choose to love.” To myself, I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband. Well, for two weeks that would change.
And it did. Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said, “That new yellow sweater looks great on you.” “Oh, Tom, you noticed”, she said, surprised and pleased. Maybe a little puzzled. After the long drive, I wanted to sit and read. Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach. I started to refuse, but then I thought, “Evelyn’s been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me.” We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went. Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums. Relaxed and happy, that’s how the whole vacation passed. I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment, however. Evelyn and I still laugh about it today. On the last night at our cottage, preparing for bed, Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.
“What’s the matter?” I asked her.
“Tom,” she said in a voice filled with distress, “ I don’t?”
“What do you mean?”
“Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me? Tom, you’ve been so good to me…am I dying?”
It took a moment for it all to be understood. Then I burst out laughing.
“No, honey,” I said, wrapping her in my arms. “You’re not dying; I’m just starting to live.”
【小題1】In the first paragraph, “No ifs, ands or buts” probably means ______.
A.Unintentionally | B.Independently |
C.Impressively | D.Unconditionally |
A.with his family | B.with Evelyn |
C.a(chǎn)lone | D.with his children |
A.he was determined to be a good husband |
B.he had made a lot of money in his Wall Street firm |
C.she looked lovely in her new clothes |
D.the doctor said his wife was seriously ill |
A.He praised her sweater, which puzzled her. |
B.She insisted on visiting a museum, which he hated. |
C.He knew something about her illness but didn’t tell her. |
D.He was so good to her that she thought she must be dying. |
A.he is just beginning to understand the real meaning of life |
B.he is just beginning to enjoy life as a loving husband |
C.he lived an unhappy life before and is now starting to change |
D.he is beginning to feel regret for what he did to his wife before |

科目:高中英語 來源:2013屆陜西省榆林一中高三第七次模擬考試英語試卷(帶解析) 題型:閱讀理解
A few days ago, I went to school with lots of books,hoping to get a locker (鎖柜). Suddenly, it started raining heavily. I hurried to pay for my locker, but I was disappointed when they informed me they only accepted cash. I was $ 7.00 short, which meant I had to carry the books back home. It would be an exhausting (令人精疲力竭的) two-hour journey back home with all those books.
An elderly gentleman nearby noticed my problem. He asked how much cash I needed. When I told him I was $7 short, he quickly took out the money from his wallet .“You don’t have to pay me back ,”he said. I was speechless; I didn't know whether to take the money or come back with the books the next day. A young student who was working there noticed my hesitation. “He’s really nice ,”said the student. I was starving this morning and he bought breakfast for me. He always helps people in different ways.
The next day, I went to him and thanked him for trusting me and lending me the money. He said he forgot about it and didn't expect I would give it back. “I’m very happy,” he said,“not because I’m getting my money back, but because this is the right way to go---whatever you get from this world, give it back as much as you possibly can. Spread kindness around the world with the smallest things you can do.”
Later, I found out he wasn’t involved with any charity(慈善)organizations. He has been performing these types of acts for years. Earlier, someone had done something incredibly kind for him and he has been spreading the kindness ever since.
He taught me a very important lesson in life. We come to this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing. Whatever we own, it will become somebody else’s and whatever we leave, it will become somebody else’s.

A.To help him get away from the sudden rain. |

C
If you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis.From there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit.
But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public education.
At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world.Yet in terms of its core mission---turning teenagers into educated college graduates--- much of the system is failing.
The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor’s degree.
So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world’s largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called “Crossing the Finish Line” tries to do precisely that.Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos.The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching.It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into.They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive.About half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have.“I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched,” said Mr.Bowen.
In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates.Meanwhile, lower-income students -–even when they are better qualified—often go to colleges that excel(擅長)in producing drop-outs.“It’s really a waste,” Mr.Bowen said, “and a big problem for the country.” As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate significantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students.Instead, it appears to have fallen.
What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer.
46. Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsible for the American financial crisis according to this passage?
A.The government. B.Public education
C.The Detroit automakers. D.The Wall Street firms.
47.What is a big problem with American higher education?
A.It is hard to enroll enough students into college.
B.Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation.
C.Many college students stay away from classes.
D.It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government.
48.The title of the book Crossing the Finish Line probably means______.
A.running to the end of the line B.going to college
C.finishing college education D.working hard in college
49.Why do some students under--match ?
A.Because they have financial difficulty. B.Because they face ambition crisis.
C.Because they lack confidence. D.Because they can’t get guidance.
50.The passage is mainly about _______.
A.problems with secondary American education and possible solutions
B.America’s financial crisis, its cause and influence
C.low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influence
D.relationship between American education and its economy
