【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 ob, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success? We do know that these would make life nicer, if more tolerable. However, we forget or overlook our manners. So , it seems, does everyone else—including, unluckily, our children. As a university president, one of my great joys is to visit our campuses and see our students, though we39。re separated by different generations, interests, and, of course dressing, each student tells me something within the first few minutes that we meet: whether he or she has been taught manners. I sense this in different ways: through her words or her gestures, in the way she listens or how he refers to friends and faculty, how she greets and says goodbye, how he responds when an elderly person enters the room. In the absence of manners, however, I make some allowances. For instance, the many ethnic(種族的)groups that students represent often have different explanations of what makes up good manners. In other cases, some students may reject what they39。ve learned to break from their parents and be accepted by other students. Whether students are being different or openly opposing, a recent experience I had with them tells me that there39。s some hope for reviving and good manners. Good manners don39。t just guarantee acceptance. Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society. Good manners are gentle signals that show we care about one another and allow us to relate to another person in a thoughtful way but at a respectable distance. （1）Which of the following is seldom a mark of success to people today? A.Handsome ine.B.An academic degree.C.High ranks in the officeD.Polite behavior.（2）What does the underlined part “make some allowances” in Paragraph 4 probably mean ?

A.Good manners makes people thoughtfulB.Good manners help deeper connections with othersC.Good manners guarantee acceptance of ourselvesD.Good manners inspire people to care about one another【答案】（1）D（2）A（3）B 【解析】【分析】本文講述了目前社會上很少把禮貌當(dāng)作成功的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)，但是良好的禮儀是打開更深的關(guān)系和更有意義的角色之門，禮儀非常重要。（1）D推理判斷題。由第二段中的“When we think about what makes the person—it39。s more likely the degree, the job, the salary. Since when do we count manners as a measure of success?”可知，我們說起一個人的成功很可能談的是學(xué)位、工作和薪水，我們什么時候把禮貌當(dāng)作成功的衡量標(biāo)準(zhǔn)呢？可推知，對今天的成功者來說禮貌的舉止是很難成為成功的標(biāo)志的。故選D.（2）A詞義猜測題。根據(jù)本段中的“Whether students are being different or openly opposing”可知，作者涉及了兩種學(xué)生缺乏禮貌的不同情況，所以作者此處是指區(qū)別對待不禮貌的現(xiàn)象。故選A.（3）B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)最后一段中的“Good manners open doors to deeper connections and more meaningful roles in our society.”可知，在我們社會，良好的禮儀打開更深的關(guān)系和更有意義的角色之門。故選B.【點評】本文是一篇議論文，論述人們忽視了良好的禮儀的重要性。第一題為推理判斷題，要在了解短文主旨大意及主要細(xì)節(jié)分布的基礎(chǔ)上，對事實或證據(jù)進(jìn)行分析和評價，并在準(zhǔn)確合理分析做出符合作者寫作意圖的推論或判斷。難點在于第二題，要根據(jù)后面的內(nèi)容對其加以理解來做出選擇?？忌⒁馀逦恼轮髦?。5．閱讀理解 Imagine yourself on the other side of the college admissions desk. It39。s not so glorious, apparently. At the very least, you need to be goodnatured. Joseph Connolly, a guidance counselor at New Oxford High School in the United States, wanted to know the things that annoy admissions officers the most. He sent out a request to members of the National Association for College Admissions Counselors and received hundreds of responses. Apparently, college admissions officers were waiting for an opportunity to unload their frustrations. The responses fall into several areas: Communication Silly or stupid addresses。 sending s that use texting shorthand, such as im w8ing 4 some1 2 call me. Leaving a message with just a first name and no telephone number. For example, Hi, this is Suzie. Please call me back. Acting distracted during a oneonone interview。 nervous habits like foottapping or um, like and you know, which make a bad situation worse. Not responding to s from the admissions office. Overinvolved parents The very mon ment from parents, We are in the process of pleting applications. Parents attending interviews, and worse yet, speaking for their children.
