A
I was helping in my son’s classroom when I spotted a poster that reads, “Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can break my heart”. I started thinking.
Teachers are such an important part of a child’s life. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s motivating and attitude toward education. And the effect a teacher has on a child doesn’t end when the school bell rings at the end of the day. Rather, those feelings developed in the classroom go home with the child and, in a large part, determine what sort of evening the child and the family have. The importance of a teacher to a child is fantastic and cannot be over-emphasized.
All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms. For example, one of Hannah’s favorite phrases in used when I mess up. She looks at me with understanding and says, “It’s okay to make mistakes, mama, because you’re only learning.” Rachael’s favorite phrase is used to start most of her jobs; with a glow in her eye, she says, “I’m just going to do my best, mama, because that’s all I can do!” But perhaps my favorite is Jacob’s response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesn’t like. With his hand on his heart he says, “Don’t say that because words can break my heart.”
Like most parents, I hear teacherisms daily. And every time I hear one, my heart floods with gratefulness for the wonderful teachers who make my children feel safe, important, and successful in the classroom, and who are helping my children achieve emotional good health. There is much talk today how to measure a teacher’s worth. I think we need only look at the students. Children mirror teachers’ words and actions, and the content of those reflections shows teacher’s greatness. 1. Teachers are important to students in that . A. they equip them with book knowledge B. they help free the parents from worries C. they guarantee each family a happy evening D. they help keep them emotionally healthy
答案解析：答案为D。 本题为细节题。由第二段 “Teachers are such an important part of a child’s life. A teacher’s support determines how safe a child feels in school. His inspiration determines how much risk a child will take in the classroom, his understanding determines how important a child feels in school and his love determines a child’s
motivating and attitude toward education.” 可知，老师对学生重要是因为老师帮助学生保持精神的健康。故答案为D。
2. The three children’s examples are used to show that . A. they are lucky to have wonderful teachers
B. they can eventually develop into good teachers C. they are sometimes mentally hurt by the teachers D. they have a successful performance in school
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节推理题。作者用自己三个孩子的例子是为了证明第三段的首句也就是该段的主题句 “All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers.” 意为“我的孩子非常幸运，(在学校里)有非常了不起的老师。A选项意思与此符合，故答案为A。
3. To his mother, what the boy says possibly sounds . A. ridiculous B. convincing C. humorous D. inspiring
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第三段可知，作者前面提到的两个孩子是女孩，最后一个孩子是男孩，由该段后面的内容 “But perhaps my favorite is Jacob’s response to his sisters when one of them says something he doesn’t like. With his hand on his heart he says, ‘Don’t say that because words can break my heart.’”可知，作者最喜欢的是他的儿子Jacob在姐姐们说了他不喜欢的话后所说的话，他把一只手放在自己的胸口说：“别那样说哦，因为话能伤害我的心。” 从作者的用词“favorite”和他儿子的言谈举止我们可以推断一个小孩讲那样的话显得非常幽默，故答案为C。A选项 “ridiculous” 意为 “可笑的，荒谬的”; B选项“convincing” 意为 “令人信服的”;D选项 “inspiring” 意为 “令人鼓舞的”，均不符合题意。 4. The underlined word “teacherisms” probably refers to “ ”. A. how teachers normally deal with their students B. what teachers usually say to their students C. why teachers seem important to their students D. where teachers agree with their students 答案解析：答案为B。本题为词义猜测题。由 “teacherisms” 所在的语境 “All my children are fortunate to have remarkable teachers. Consequently, the three of them love going to school almost as much as they love using teacherisms.” 可知，作者提到自己的孩子非常幸运，在学校里有非常了不起的老师，结果，三个孩子都喜欢上学就像他们喜欢用teacherisms一样。接下来作者用三个孩子所说的话作为例子，这些话显得非常成熟，它们明显来自老师平时在学校里对他们所说的，故答案为B。
B
Just be happy. Sounds too simplistic, doesn’t it? But, in reality, we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things from a positive point of view. Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life, however, we can make a decision to take advantage of the negative or pratice what the old saying says to do：“When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!”
It really boils down to your attitude and you have the ability to work
your attitude into any shape you like. Here are some tips:
●Ignore those who tell you life is too difficult to be happy. what do they know?
●When you awaken each morning, be thankful for another day, even if it’s raining.
●Smile at those you meet, even if they don’t return the favor. ● Don’t borrow trouble. Each day has enough of its own.
●Don’t allow trouble to bury you in its gray depth of sorrow. ●Don’t give in to negative thinking. ●Be positive even when others are not.
●Refuse to give up on anything worth having or doing.
●Do something you enjoy each day, even if it’s just a walk in your neighborhood.
● Whistle as you go though the day.
●Work at being happy because it’s worth it.
You’re human, like everyone else, and from time to time you need a little pick-me-up in your decision to be happy. When you reach that stage, find someone else who has decided to be happy. Join forces with him and march forward in your decision to be a happy person. Simply speaking, a happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes.
Choose today to just be happy----as much as it depends on you! 1. The amount of happiness depends on . A. the ups and downs you’ve experienced B. what attitude you take towards life C. how simple a life you manage to live D. the kind of environment you stay in
答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节题。由第一段 “But, in reality, we can have much more happiness if we choose to consider things from a positive point of view.”可知，如果我们从积极的角度考虑问题，我们就能获得更多的快乐，故答案为B“幸福取决于你对生活的态度”。
2. The underlined sentence advises us to . A. work hard for a comfortable life B. drink lemonade
when in difficulty
C. make the best of what we have D. ignore the negative side of life 答案解析：答案为C。本题为语义理解题。结合划线句子前面的内容 “Everyone experiences the ups and downs of life, however, we can make a decision to take advantage of the negative or pratice what the old saying says to do”可知，人在经历坡坡坎坎的时候，要利用消极面去生活，把消极转化为积极，这样我们才能快乐，因此作者说“生活给了我们柠檬，就把它做成柠檬水”，故答案为C “最好地利用我们所拥有的”。
3. Which of the following doesn’t help maintain your good state of mind? A. Think in advance about future troubles. B. Greet others with a cheerful smile.
C. Stay positive all the way through. D. Try to enjoy every single moment.
答案解析：答案为A。本题为细节题。由文中作者所给的保持快乐的第四条建议 “Don’t borrow trouble. Each day has enough of its own.(不要借明天的烦恼，每天的烦恼够多了)”可知，A选项“提前思考未来的烦恼”不利于保持好心情，故答案A符合题意。
4. The best title for the passage might be “ ”. A. Don’t lose heart B. Share your happiness C. Live a simple life
D. Let’s cheer ourselves up
答案解析：答案为D。本题考查文章的标题。文章第一段告诉我们要以乐观的态度去生活，才会保持快乐，中间内容给出了保持快乐的建议，最好一段重申主题“保持快乐”，故答案为D“让我们高兴起来”。
