We all have weaknesses and strengths, no matter who we are. Sometimes the weaknesses seem to outweigh the strengths and sometimes it’s the other way around. Some people get sick easily. Some struggle to manage their money properly. Some people are hopeless communicators and struggle with relationships.
Many people accept it as just bad luck, but not everyone. Some people facing huge limitations still manage to achieve surprising things. They rise above their weaknesses and do not allow them to limit their possibilities.
I attended a school prize-giving ceremony not so long ago and the guest speaker was Andrew Becroft, who had a severe stutter(口吃) as a child. Instead of allowing this to limit him, he chose to work hard to overcome it. He is now the Principal Youth Court Judge for New Zealand. Not only did he become successful, but he did so in a profession where he had to speak in front of others regularly.
Lots of people face far more significant limitaions than you do. They may be missing limbs or are born into extreme poverty. But no matter what the limitation you will always find people who have overcome it. Brett Eastburn has no arms or legs and yet is an inspirational speaker and also a very good wrestler. Ringo Starr, drummer for the Beatles, came from a very poor background. He was constantly plagued with illness as a child and spent large amounts of time in hospital. Mark Inglis lost both of
his legs below the knees in a mountaineering accident, but has since climbed Mt Everest.
Most of us will never have to face the challenges these people faced. Yet most of us will never achieve to the degree that these people have either, unless we choose to. If Mark Inglis can climb the highest mountain in the world without legs, _________ ?
【小題1】What is the main idea of Paragraph 1? (Within 8 words.)

【小題4】what can you do/what about you
【小題5】但無(wú)論是什么樣的缺陷, 你總能發(fā)現(xiàn)有人克服了它。
解析【小題1】文章討論的主要就是人人都有缺點(diǎn),都不完美。
【小題2】這句實(shí)在很多人都能接受自己身上所存在的弱點(diǎn),但是并不是每個(gè)人都能接受。
【小題3】文章中提及了這四個(gè)人都是接受了自己的弱點(diǎn)并獲得了成功。

Different people use different languages. We Chinese speak Chinese, and, most of us are learning a foreign language. But there is another kind of language we need to know --- the language of the body.
All over the world, people “talk with their hand, with their heads and with their eyes.” When Japanese people meet, they bow. When Indians meet, they put their hands together. What do American and British do? Americans are more imformal(不拘小節(jié)的) than the British. They like to be friendly. They use first names, they ask questions and they talk easily about themselves. When they sit down, they like to relax in their chairs and make themselves comfortable. British people are more reserved(保守的). They take more time to make friends. They like to know you before they ask your name.
When British or American people meet someone for the first time, they shake hands. They do not usually shake hands with people they know well. Women sometimes kiss their women friends, and men kiss women friends (on one cheek only). When a man meets a man, he just smiles, and says, “Hello.” Men do not kiss each other, or hold hands. Even fathers and sons do not often kiss each other.
【小題1】In the passsage, the writer thinks that body language is ______________.
A.uselss | B.difficult | C.quite easy | D.important |
A.different countries hav the same body language. |
B.different countries have different body anguages. |

True forgiveness is one of the most remarkable qualities a human can possess! In the fighting between two countries in the 1970s, a young man was walking from one village to the next when he was 1 by an armed guerrilla (游擊隊(duì)) fighter from the enemy country. The fighter 2 the young man down the hill where he was to be 3 . But a (n) 4 thing happened. The young man, who had 5 military (軍事的) training, was able to disarm (解除武裝) the fighter. Now, the table was 6 , and it was the fighter who was ordered down the hill. As they walked, 7 , the young man began to reflect on what was happening. Recalling the 8 of his mother, "Love your enemies; do good to those who 9 you." he found he could go no further. He 10 the gun into the bushes, told the fighter he was 11 to go and turned back 12 the hill. Minutes later, he heard footsteps 13 behind him as he walked. "Is this the end after all?" he 14 . Perhaps the fighter had got the gun and wanted to finish him off. But he continued on, 15 glancing back, until his enemy reached him, only to grab him in a hug and pour out 16 for sparing his life. Mercy often wears the face of 17 . And though it usually isn't an enemy in uniform that we are challenged to forgive, we hav 18 for mercy every day. Family members and friends, co-workers and neighbors and even strangers have 19 for our forgiveness. You know who they are. As Mahatma Gandhi said, "The 20 can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute (特性) of the strong." Be strong. Forgive. | |||
