One day a student went to see his teacher. He had been given an important position and now was coming to say goodbye to his teacher. The old man asked him how he would live among high officials. The student answered, “ I will be all right. I have prepared a hundred high hats, one for each official I will meet. I am sure I will succeed.” The teacher got angry on hearing this.  “What?” he cried. “Is this what ten years of my teaching has made of you? Nothing but flatterer(拍馬屁的人)?” “Excuse me, honored(尊敬的) master,” the student  rose to his feet and apologized hurriedly. “But you have always been absorbed in(沉浸于) your studies and don’t know how vulgar(庸俗的) the world has come to be. There are few men in the world who are above flatterers like you.” “There is something true in what you said,” the teacher nodded, smiling with one of the student’s “high hats” on.

My parents ran a small restaurant in Seattle. It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week. And my first real job, when I was six years old, was   36  the diners’ shoes.

Keving Rogers used to be my boss.At that time he always told us to sell more.As soon as I could,I left his shop and got a new job in another place.The last time I saw Rogers was more than ten years ago.At least that’s what I thought.But now I am not so sure.
I was on my way to my office in the centre of town.There is a small park nearby,which I sometimes walk through after lunch.The park was almost empty except for a shabby-looking man on one of those benches（凳子）.The man looked about fifty years old and was wearing an old gray coat.It was cold and windy,and he was trembling(哆嗦).

My ex-workmate shook his head,”I thought you knew.” “Knew?Knew what?What are you talking about?”

Friendship is one of the basic bonds (紐帶) between human beings. While the characteristics of friendship might vary from one country to another, people from all cultures not only enjoy friends but need them.
　　Many studies have shown that teenagers who have no friends often suffer from psychological disorders. It has been shown that teenagers, perhaps more than any other age group, need companionship and a sense of belonging. The negative consequences of loneliness have also been observed among the elderly. The death of a spouse often leaves a widow or a widower totally bereft (失去). If, however, they are surrounded by friends and relatives and if they are able to articulate（清楚表達(dá)） their feelings, they are more likely to recover from their grief.
　　“No man is an island.” In other words, we are all parts of society. We all need the love, admiration, respect and moral support of other people. If we are fortunate, our friends will provide us with all of these necessary aspects of life.
　　As most people observe, there are many levels of friendship. The degree or intensity of friendship varies depending on the personality of the individuals involved and the context of the relationships. Extroverts (性格外向者) enjoy being surrounded by many people whereas introverts（性格內(nèi)向者）are perhaps content with fewer but more intense friendships.
　　Everyone is not equally open with all their friends. The degree of intimacy (密切) is determined by many factors. Close friends can be formed at any stage in one’s life but they are usually very rare. Not very many people have more than a few really close friends. Irrespective of the level of intimacy, all friendships are based on reciprocity（相互性）, honesty and a certain amount of love and affection.
小題1:The second paragraph implies that _____..
A．teenagers without friends will suffer from psychological problems
B．a(chǎn) widow or a widower will die very soon without companionship
C．human beings need companionship and a sense of belonging
D．both A and B
小題2:The degree of intimacy of friendship mainly depends on _____ .
A．a(chǎn)ge B．belongingC．personality D．culture
小題3:The author thinks that close friends _____ .
A．can be easily formed when one is young
B．cannot be long-lasting
C．a(chǎn)re not rare for everyone
D．a(chǎn)re rare for most people
小題4:The word “irrespective”(Last sentence, Para. 5) means _____ .
A．not respecting B．dishonoringC．regardless D．Considering

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

Maybe it is true that we do not know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we do not know what we have been missing until it arrives.
It takes an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone. Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Do not expect love in return; but if it does not, be content it has grown in yours. Do not rely on one’s appearance; it can trick you. Do not rely on wealth; even that fades away. Rely on someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them. Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.
The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past. You cannot go on well in life until you let your past failures and heartaches go off. May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy. The happiest of people do not necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives. Always put yourself in others’ shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, too.
When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.
小題1:In this passage, the writer wants to tell us ______.
A．what to do in our life
B．where to go with other persons
C．how to treat our life
D．how to get on well with other persons
小題2:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A．If you give someone your love, you are sure to receive love in return.
B．We often don’t know what we have lost until it happens someday.
C．It is wise not to rely on anybody because you are likely to be cheated.
D．If it takes you a short time to love someone, you will easily forget the person.
小題3:If you put yourself in another person’s position, ______.
A．you shouldn’t do what will hurt other people
B．you should put on other people’s shoes
C．you should believe in other people
D．you should depend on your imagination
小題4:In the last paragraph the writer is actually telling us that a person in the world should be one who ______.
A．can accept the suggestions made by others
B．can live happily and forget the past
C．does good to other people and is respected and loved by them
D．has made a lot of money for himself before he dies
