Douglas was a student in one of my adulteducation classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home, not once, but twice. The first time he had lost his fiveyearold daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn39。t bear that first loss。 but, as he said, “Ten months later, God gave us another little girl and she died in five days. ” This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn39。t take it，” this father told us. “I couldn39。t sleep, eat, rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone. ” At last he went to doctors。 one remended sleeping pills and another remended a trip, but neither helped. He said，“ My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大鉗子 ), and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter. ” The tension of grief (悲傷 )—if you have ever been paralyzed (使癱瘓 ) by sorrow, you know what he meant. “But thank God, I had one child left—a fouryearold son. He gave me the solution to my problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself, he asked，‘ Daddy, will you build a boat for me? I was in no mood to build a boat。 in fact, I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent little fellow! I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished, I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months! I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case, building the boat had knocked worry out of the I determined to keep busy. ” “The following night, I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly, I had made a list of 200 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have pleted most of them. I am busy now that I have no time for worry. ” No time for worry! That is exactly what Winston Churchill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities, he said, “I am too busy. I have no time for worry. ” 16. The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to ________. A. having lost a loved one B. having lost a valuable article C. having lost a profitmaking business D. having lost a wellpaid job 答案與解析： A 猜詞題。通過(guò)第一段的描述，可知這是喪親之痛。 17.

At the end of the passage, the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to ________. A. prove that he followed Churchill39。s example B. support his student39。s solution to his problem C. show that he was successful in his career D. clarify how his conclusion was reached 答案與解析： B 推理判斷題。題意是問(wèn)作者的寫(xiě)作意圖，通讀全篇文章可知這是論據(jù)，來(lái)支持他學(xué)生解決問(wèn)題的方法。 B We all know that when leaves fall to the ground they die and bee food for worms. When worms pass the leaves, their waste can help to make the soil rich, from which the plants use to get their nutrition. The plants grow and provide food for animals. When the animals eat the plants, their waste goes back into the soil. It39。s a perfect cycle. But at the Elephant Conservation Centre in Lampang, Northern Thailand, they are using elephant waste for something more—to make 100% natural, beautiful colorful paper products! 100 years ago over 100,000 elephants in Thailand worked on farms, building sites and even in the army. However, only 6,000 remain there today because of advances in technology that have made elephants39。 old work less necessary. Elephants are doing new jobs now, including entertaining tourists by painting and playing football, and
