Question

【題目】My writing career began ten years ago with my articles published locally and nationally. As a beginning writer, I was happy to be on my way, writing and learning as much as I could . With two little kids underfoot, as well as working full-time, it was really difficult to make time for writing, but I managed.

Readers told me they laughed, cried or were inspired by my articles. But they didn't know what was really going on behind the typewriter. I was not a happy mommy, and found it difficult to enjoy the everyday little things in life. In short, I was not a happy person.

I realized I had to make some changes. I started walking every morning. It cleared my head, allowed me time to think, gave me fresh air, and made me feel invigorated (精神煥發(fā)） and healthy. I was eating wisely, and the weight started to go. I started a new job, joined a monthly writing chapter，and was determined to keep up my walking. Finding the balance was sometimes difficult. But I was determined to fit in writing time because it made me happy. Sure I loved to watch the news and have my tea, but that wasn't what made me truly happy.

My own happiness has shown through my family, my job performance and my attitude towards challenging situations. I again have readers telling me the effect my writing has had on them, with some able to get on with their own writing because of my articles.

It was up to me to make it happen—my own happiness. One step at a time-one word at a time. And I did it.

【解析】試題分析：作者是一個(gè)作家，作品鼓舞了許多讀者。但是作者不是一個(gè)快樂的人。作者意識(shí)到自己必須做出一些改變，于是開始每天清晨散步，清理自己的大腦，給自己時(shí)間思考，呼吸新鮮空氣，讓自己感覺精神煥發(fā)，身心健康，健康飲食并開始控制體重。通過不斷的改變作者最終成了一個(gè)快樂的人，并影響到了周圍的人和讀者。通過自己的經(jīng)歷作者感悟到快樂把握在自己手里。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第一段最后一句“With two little kids underfoot, as well as working full-time, it was really difficult to make time for writing, but I managed.”可知，作者有兩個(gè)小孩要照顧，還有全職工作，想找到時(shí)間寫作很難。故選C項(xiàng)正確。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段最后一句“In short, I was not a happy person.”以及第三段前兩句“I realized I had to make some changes. I started walking every morning.”可知，作者不是一個(gè)快樂的人，意識(shí)到自己必須做一些改變，作者開始每天早晨散步。因此推斷作者開始散步時(shí)為了找回快樂。故選D項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第一句“Readers told me they laughed, cried or were inspired by my articles.”和倒數(shù)第二段最后一句“I again have readers telling me the effect my writing has had on them, with some able to get on with their own writing because of my articles.”可知，讀者被作者的作品鼓舞，有一些人因?yàn)樽髡叩奈恼麻_始他們自己的寫作。因此推斷作者的作品對(duì)讀者影響很大。故選A項(xiàng)正確。

【4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文章最后一段“It was up to me to make it happen—my own happiness. One step at a time-one word at a time. And I did it.”可知，作者通過自己的經(jīng)歷告訴讀者快樂把握在自己手里，每次一步，每次一句話就做到了。故選D項(xiàng)正確。
