Question

Jealousy is a very common problem in daily life. It’s everywhere. For example, if someone does better than you, you will get annoyed because you want to be No. 1. We may become jealous of a best friend’s top marks in an exam, or of the girl in art class who is praised by the teacher all the time. We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us.

It’s bad to feel jealous. We should be pleased with the things we have. But we still wish we had the money of this person and the talent of that person. Instead of sharing their happiness, we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves. And, too often, these feelings are expressed by speaking ill of the people we envy.

However, envy is also a kind of compliment to others. We see that other people have styles and talents different from our own. By comparing ourselves with others, we can know what we lack. And we can turn this comparison, the envy of others, into a kind of power.

Therefore, being a bit jealous of others lets us know what we are like and what we want to be like. It can push us to become what we really want to be.

試題分析：本文論述了人們常有的一種心理—嫉妒，當(dāng)人們看到別人取得了比自己好的成績時，就產(chǎn)生了嫉妒心理，有可能在背后就說這個人的壞話，本文最后告知我們嫉妒也使我們了解自己需要的東西。

1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)We get annoyed because these good things are happening to someone else but not to us.因為別人比你強所以心里煩惱，故選B。

2.詞義猜測題。根據(jù)Instead of sharing their happiness, we just feel jealous and unhappy with ourselves.不是分享別人的快樂而去說別人的壞話，故選B。

考點：人生百味類短文閱讀。

點評：細(xì)節(jié)理解題可以分為集中型細(xì)節(jié)理解題和分散型細(xì)節(jié)理解題。集中型：就文章的單個細(xì)節(jié)提問，答案在原文中出現(xiàn)的位置一般也位于單句話或幾句話中。因為具體細(xì)節(jié)不同，出題形式千變?nèi)f化，因題而異。分散型：題目涉及到文章某一段或幾段，甚至貫穿全文的各個位置，需要考生尋找文章中的多個細(xì)節(jié)。請注意，分散型細(xì)節(jié)理解題并不意味著題目的正確答案出現(xiàn)在文章的不同位置，正確答案往往也是關(guān)于文章的某一個句子或細(xì)節(jié)。只是說文章的干擾選項是關(guān)于不同的細(xì)節(jié)，需要我們在定位的時候閱讀某一個區(qū)域。
