As always, it was a busy one, for “Six days shall you labor and do all your work” was taken seriously back then. Outside, Father and Mr. Patrick next door were busy in chopping firewood. Inside their own houses, Mother and Mrs. Patrick were engaged in spring cleaning. Somehow the boys had slipped away to the back lot with their kites. Now, even at the risk of having Brother caught to beat carpets, they had sent him to the kitchen for more string(线). It seemed there was no limit to the heights to which kites would fly today. My mother looked at the sitting room, its furniture disordered for a thorough sweeping. Again she cast a look toward the window. “Come on, girls! Let’s take string to the boys and watch 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 them fly the kites a minute.” On the way we met Mrs. Patrick, laughing guiltily as if she were doing something wrong, together with her girls. There never was such a day for flying kites! We played all our fresh string into the boys’ kites and they went up higher and higher. We could hardly distinguish the orange-colored spots of the kites. Now and then we slowly pulled one kite back, watching it dancing up and down in the wind, and finally bringing it down to earth, just for the joy of sending it up again. Even our fathers dropped their tools and joined us. Our mothers took their turn, laughing like schoolgirls. I think we were all beside ourselves. Parents forgot their duty and their dignity; children forgot their everyday fights and little jealousies. “Perhaps it’s like this in the kingdom of heaven,” I thought confusedly. It was growing dark before we all walked sleepily back to the houses. I suppose we had some sort of supper. I suppose there must have been a surface tidying-up, for the house on Sunday looked clean and orderly enough. The strange thing was, we didn’t mention that day afterward. I felt a little embarrassed. Surely none of the others had been as excited as I. I locked the memory up in that deepest part of me where we keep“the things that cannot be and yet they are.” The years went on, then one day I was hurrying about my kitchen in a city apartment, trying to get some work out of the way while my three-year-old insistently cried her desire to“go park, see duck.” “I can’t go!” I said. “I have this and this to do, and when I’m through I’ll be too tired to walk that far.” My mother, who was visiting us, looked up from the peas she was shelling. “It’s a wonderful day,” she offered, “really warm, yet there’s a fine breeze. Do you remember that day we flew kites?” I stopped in my dash between stove and sink. The locked door flew open and with it a rush of memories. “Come on,” I told my little girl. “You’re right, it’s too good a day to miss.” 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 Another decade passed. We were in the aftermath(余波)of a great war. All evening we had been asking our returned soldier, the youngest Patrick Boy, about his experiences as a prisoner of war. He had talked freely, but now for a long time he had been silent. What was he thinking of—what dark and horrible things? “Say!” A smile slipped out from his lips. “Do you remember—no, of course you wouldn’t. It probably didn’t make the impression on you as it did on me.” I hardly dared speak. “Remember what?” “I used to think of that day a lot in POW camp(战俘营), when things weren’t too good. Do you remember the day we flew the kites?” 1. Mrs. Patrick was laughing guiltily because she thought .

When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood-stream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, this animal will do one of the two things. It will defend itself, or it will run away as fast as it can. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 6 Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry, scared, or aroused by other emotions, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run. Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger—or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isn’t always wise to express your feelings freely. Does this mean that it’s smarter always to hide our feeling? No!If you keep feelings of anger, sadness, and bitterness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel churned up inside. It can actually be bad for your health. Feeling that you keep all bottled up inside don’t just go away. It’s as if you bought some bananas and stuck them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them. And if you open the cupboard, chances are you’d see little fruit flies hovering all over them. They’d be rotten. You can try to treat emotions as if they were bananas in the cupboard, you can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas. 1. It is mentioned in the passage that human beings get into trouble because they______. A. are not as alert as animals B. sometimes can’t control their feelings C. always do something wrong to other people D. don’t pay attention to their physical changes 2. The underlined words “churned up”in the 5th paragraph mean “ ”. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 A. very shocked B. beaten heavily C. very frightened D. disturbed badly 3. The author wants to tell us in the last two paragraphs that______. A. you’ll not completely get away from your feelings B. you should treat emotions as bananas in a cupboard C. feeling will gradually disappear when you hold them in D. it is good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside 4. The author writes this article in order to______. A. tell us that it isn’t good to keep feelings inside B. give us some advice on how to express our feelings C. make us deal with feelings in a wise way D. make us know that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely 【参考答案】29.BDAC 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项 涂黑。 The round-the-clock (24 小时不断的)availability that cell phones have brought to people’s lives 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 may be taking a toll on family life, a new study suggests. The study, which followed more than 1, 300 adults over 2 years, found that those who consistently used a mobile phone throughout the study period were more likely to report negative“spillover”between work and home life—and, in turn, less satisfaction with their family life. Spillover essentially (本质上)means that the line between work and home begins to become unclear. Work life may invade home life when a parent is taking job-related calls at home, for instance—or family issues may start to take up work time. For example, a child may call mom at work, telling her “microwave exploded”, explained Noelle Chesley, an assistant professor of sociology at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the author of the study. The problem with cell phones seems to be that they are allowing for ever more spillover between work and home. This may be especially true for working women, the study found. Among men, consistent use of mobile phones seemed to allow more work issues to creep (潜入)into family time. But for women, the spillover tended to go in both directions. Being “connected”meant that work cut into home time, and family issues came into work life. Cell phones seem to be opening more lines for stressful exchanges among family members. But there may be ways to control the spillover, according to Chesley. Employers, she said, could look at their policies on contacting employees after working hours to make sure their expectations are“reasonable”. For their part, employees could decide that cell phones go off during family time, Chesley said. 1. The underlined phrase“taking a toll on”in Paragraph 1 probably means ______. A. explaining B. protecting C. extending D. damaging 2. What is the purpose of offering the example“microwave exploded”in Paragraph 2? A. To show the microwave is of poor quality. B. To indicate how dependent the child is. C. To indicate family issues affect work hours. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 D. To show work time creeps into family life. 3. As a result of negative“spillover”, people will feel ______. A. less satisfied with their family life B. less satisfied with their work C. angry with their troublesome children D. unwilling to get married at an early age 4. According to Chesley, what is the best solution to the problem caused by cellphones? A. Refuse to use cell phones. B. Separate work hours from family time. C. Ignore coming calls during family time. D. Encourage women to stay at home. 5. We can learn from the passage that ______. A. spillover makes the line between work and home unclear B. cell phones seem to be convenient to families C. cell phones affect men as much as women D. we can do nothing to solve the problem 【参考答案】30.DCAB
