One day, a teacher was giving a speech to his students. He held up a glass of water and asked the class, "How heavy do you think this glass of water is?"
The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 g. "It does not matter on the weight itself. It depends on how long you hold it. If I hold it for a minute, it is OK. If I hold it for an hour, I will have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you will have to call an ambulance (救護(hù)車). It is exactly the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes. "
If we carry our burdens (負(fù)擔(dān)) all the time, sooner or later, we will not be able to carry on, the burden becoming increasingly heavier. "
"What you have to do is to put the glass down, rest for a while before holding it up again.”
We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢復(fù)) and are able to carry on.
So before you return home from work tonight, put the burden of work down. Don't carry it back home. You can pick it up tomorrow.
Whatever burdens you are having now on your shoulders, let it down for a moment if you can.
【小題1】The teacher brought a glass of water to the class because_________.

A.he was very thirsty

C.it was a good example
D.he wants to share the water with students

解析試題分析:這篇短文主要介紹了老師通過告訴學(xué)生端一杯水一時(shí)不累,但時(shí)間久了會(huì)承受不了。來說明有時(shí)我們不得不放下負(fù)擔(dān),這樣我們可以恢復(fù)過來 ,并能夠繼續(xù)前行。
【小題1】推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文描述,老師通過給學(xué)生舉端一杯水一時(shí)不累,但時(shí)間久了會(huì)承受不了。來說明有時(shí)我們不得不放下負(fù)擔(dān),這樣我們可以恢復(fù)過來 ,并能夠繼續(xù)前行。所以是一個(gè)例子。故選C。
【小題2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第二段第三段可知作者把水比成了負(fù)擔(dān)。故選B。
【小題3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)We have to put down the burden sometimes, so that we can be refreshed (使恢復(fù)) and are able to carry on.描述我們不得不放下負(fù)擔(dān),這樣我們可以恢復(fù)過來 ,并能夠繼續(xù)前行。比較四個(gè)選項(xiàng),C更合適。
【小題4】主旨大意題。根據(jù)四個(gè)選項(xiàng)A怎樣在生活中使自己放松B怎樣解決身體問題B怎樣通過喝水保持健康。D怎樣學(xué)習(xí)好。結(jié)合文章故選A。
【小題5】歸納理解題。根據(jù)the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.可知是杯子變得越來越重,故A錯(cuò)誤 ,由The students' answers ranged from 20 g to 500 可知學(xué)生不知道杯子的重量,故B錯(cuò)誤,文章沒有提及學(xué)生對(duì)老師所講的理解,故D錯(cuò)誤,所以選C。老師通過端一杯水的時(shí)間越長(zhǎng)會(huì)感覺越重來說明人生要放下負(fù)擔(dān),才會(huì)方松。

Everyone worries. But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:
1. Try to find out what you're worried about
Sometimes, you will know what you're worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you can't, you can ask for help.
2. Think of ways to make it better
There is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it won't solve your problem.
Grades at school are often top worries for kids. If you're worried about grades, ask yourself these questions:
★ Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me?
★How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isn't a test?
★ Do I have a good place to do my homework?
★ Have I tried different ways of studying?
If your worry is about a fight you had, you might write down all the things you could do: write a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her, etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back.
3. Ask for help
When you're worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.

Some people think only school children do not agree with their parents, however, it is not true. Communication is a problem for parents and children of all ages. If it’s hard for you to communicate with your parents, don’t worry about it. Here is some advice for you to bridge the generation gap(消除代溝)。
Don’t argue with your parents. Don’t get to your parents when you are angry. Your parents probably won’t consider your ideas if you are shouting at them. And you can’t express yourself well if you are angry. Go someplace to cool off. Make sure you understand why you are unhappy. Then think about what you want to say to your parents. If you don’t think you can speak to them at the moment, try writing a letter.
Try to reach a compromise (和解). Perhaps you and your parents disagree on something. You can keep your disagreement and try your best to accept each other. Michael’s mother didn’t agree with him about buying a motorcycle. They argued over it. But they finally came to a compromise. Michael bought the motorcycle, but only drove it on certain days.
Of course, your parents might refuse to compromise on something. In these situations, it is especially important to show love and respect to them. Showing respect will keep your relationship strong.
Talk about your values(看法). The values of your parents are probably different from those of your own. Tell your parents what you care about, and why. Understanding your values might help them see your purposes in life.
A good relationship with your parents can make you a better and happier person. It is worth having a try!
【小題1】The passage tells us ______ have a communication problem.

A.parents and other people

I bought a jasmine(茉莉花)plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom(開花)and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.
