Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship. An acquaintance of mine, whose health isn39。t very good, recently told me that she hadn39。t spoken to her son in almost three years. She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn39。t speak to him again unless he called first. When I suggested that she be the one to reach out, she resisted initially and said, I can39。t do that. He39。s the one who should apologize. She was literally willing to die before reaching out to her only son. After a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. To her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. As is usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins. Whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn small stuff into really big stuff in our minds. We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. The way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. Let other people be right. This doesn39。t mean that you39。re wrong. Everything will be fine. You39。ll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right. You39。ll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be right, they will bee less defensive and more loving toward you. They might even reach back. But if for some reason they don39。t, that39。s okay too. You39。ll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly you39。ll be more peaceful yourself.(1)The underlined word rekindle in Paragraph 1 probably means ____________. A.recoverB.developC.acceptD.replace(2)According to the passage, the author39。s friend never spoke to her son for three years because ____________. A.she had got an argument with her daughterinlawB.she had disagreed about her son39。s marriageC.she had got an argument about her daughterinlawD.she had disliked her son39。s wife for many years(3)Which of the following is NOT the reason for people to be unwilling to apologize first? A.People believe that they are always right.B.People always wait for others to offer an apology first.C.People consider the position more important than happiness.D.People want to get an inner satisfaction.(4)The purpose of the passage is to ____________. A.instruct the readers how to apologizeB.teach the readers how to gain inner peaceC.inform the readers the importance of being forgivingD.tell the readers to reach out first when there are painful events.【答案】(1)A(2)C(3)D(4)D 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇議論文,論述了面對與人們的矛盾時,不要執(zhí)著于怨恨,伸出你的手來化解它,學會首先向別人道歉,讓別人是對的,這并不意味著你是錯的。(1)考查詞義猜測。第一段中的“Stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us—believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.”固執(zhí)地說,我們等著別人來找我們——相信這是我們能夠原諒或重新點燃友誼或家庭關系的唯一途徑??芍猺ekindle是“恢復”之意,選A。(2)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第二段中的“ She said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldn39。t speak to him again unless he called first.”她說她和她兒子對他的妻子意見不和,她不會再和他說話除非他先打電話。故選C。(3)考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第三段中的“We start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. They are not. If you want to be a more peaceful person you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy.”我們開始相信我們的地位比我們的幸福更重要。其實不然,如果你想成為一個更愛好和平的人,就必須明白“正確”幾乎永遠也不會比讓自己快樂更重要。可知A、B、C三項都是人們不愿首先道歉的原因,故選D。(4)考查寫作意圖??v觀全文可知,本文探討了面對與人們的矛盾時,應該做主動言和的那個人,這樣才能消除心中的怨恨,并且獲得幸福,因此本文的目的是告訴讀者在發(fā)生痛苦的事情時要先主動道歉,故選D?!军c評】本題考點涉及細節(jié)理解,詞義猜測和寫作意圖三個題型的考查,是一篇生活類閱讀,考生需要準確掌握細節(jié)信息,并根據(jù)上下文進行邏輯推理,概括歸納,從而選出正確答案。6.閱讀理解 About aspirin: Aspirin is a monly used drug which can be taken to relieve disfort caused by numerous medical problems including headaches, toothache, inflammation and infections.
