The cashier said, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll"．The little boy seemed very disappointed． I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to．"It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her: But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there．"His eyes were so sad．"My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister．" My heart nearly stopped．The little boy looked up at me and continued, "I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet．I need her to wait until I come back from the mall．" I quickly reached for my wallet and said," Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll." "OK, I hope I do have enough," he said．I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it．There was enough for the doll and even some spare money． Surprisingly, the little boy cried, "Thank you God for giving me enough money!" Then he looked at me and added, "I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose ! " Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy? Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away.

Blame it on pure dreaming and lack of surrounding goals for achieving their dreams. Setting goals is very significant part of accomplishing and positive actions. It is like scaling(攀爬) a 200 feet construction and marking in the early hours on what feet you would like to reach at this specific period. People who set goals literally generate a map of their goal settings in life, marking where they should start, where to pause, where to study a bit, and where and when to end. Once this map comes into being, it allows the map drawer to check where he is in the scheme(安排) of things and whether or not he is making some planning that will take him closer to his goals. By surrounding goals, people will know how they are doing and what they should be doing to get their goals or dreams in life. They will know if they can relax or if they have to double their efforts when they are falling short of what is expected of them. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 3 Goal surroundings means a person is proactive in dealing with challenges that may affect his plans. Being proactive means one is able to outline possible difficulties that may occur as well as the solutions to these difficulties. By doing this, a person is not easily scared or defeated when challenges occur because he has already prepared for them. He knows they can happen and he has prepared a solution or strategy when that time comes. Setting goals will enable people to track their progress in whatever hard work they set out to do. It will help people bee more confident in themselves and more motivated to get their plans. 【小题 1】The purpose of this passage is to _______________. A．explain the difference between the two goals. B．show the importance of surrounding goals. C．tell us how to set and achieve one’s goals. D．tell us setting goals makes one confident. 【小题 2】The underlined word “proactive” in paragraph 5 may have the closest meaning to “________”. A．positive B．careful C．brave D．prepared 【小题 3】According to the author, one had better ___________ in making a goal in life. A．take an active attitude B．create a scheme as a whole C．consider the possible troubles D．check where he is frequently 【小题 4】From the passage, we can reach the conclusion that___________________. A．achievements come to those who are well prepared B．everyone faces the situation which is scaring or threatening C．the higher one sets his goal, the more achievements he will have D．success never es to people who always blame 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 4 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项。 【2014 高考英语二模试题】 When a rare disease ALD threatened to kill the four-year-old boy Lorenzo, his parents refused to give up hope. Doctors explained that there was no cure for ALD, and that he would probably die within three years. But Lorenzo’s parents set out to prove the doctors wrong. The parents devoted themselves to keeping their son alive and searching for a cure. But doctors and the families of other ALD patients often refused to take them seriously. They thought the efforts to find a cure were a waste of time, and drug companies weren’t interested in supporting research into such a rare disease. However, the parents still refused to give up and spent every available hour in medical libraries and talking to anyone who would help. Through trial and error, they finally created a cure from ingredients (调料) commonly found in the kitchen. The cure, named "Lorenzo’s Oil", saved the boy’s life. Despite the good results, scientists and doctors remained unconvinced. They said there was no real evidence that the oil worked and that the treatment was just a theory. As a result, some families with ALD children were reluctant to try it. Finally, the boy’s father organized an international study to test the oil. After ten years of trials, the answer is: the oil keeps ALD children healthy. 【小题 1】Doctors said that Lorenzo might die within three years because_____ .

If fun and pleasure are equal to happiness then pain must be equal to unhappiness. But in fact, the opposite is true: more often than not things that lead to happiness involve some pain. As a result, many people avoid the very attempts that are the source of true happiness. They fear the pain inevitably(不可避免的) brought by such things as marriage, raising children, professional achievement, religious commitment (义务), self - improvement. Ask a bachelor(单身汉) why he resists marriage even though he finds dating to be less and less satisfying. If he is honest he will tell you that he is afraid of making a commitment. For commitment is in fact quite painful. The single life is filled with fun, adventure, excitement. Marriage has such moments, but they are not its most distinguishing features. Couples with infant children are lucky to get a whole night’s sleep or a three - day vacation. I don’t know any parent who would choose the word fun to describe raising children. But couples who decide not to have children never know the joys of watching a child grow up or of playing with a grandchild. Understanding and accepting that true happiness has nothing to do with fun is one of the most liberating realizations. It liberates time: now we can devote more hours to activities that can genuinely increase our happiness. It liberates （解放）money: buying that new car or those fancy clothes that will do nothing to increase our happiness now seems pointless. And it liberates us from envy: we now understand that all those who are always having so much fun actually may not be happy at all. 【小题 1】According to the author, a bachelor resists marriage chiefly because _______ . A. he is reluctant to take on family responsibilities B. he believes that life will be more cheerful if he remains single C. he finds more fun in dating than in marriage D. he fears it will put an end to all his fun adventure and excitement 【小题 2】From the last paragraph, we learn that envy sometimes stems from ________ . A. hatred B. misunderstanding C. prejudice D. ignorance 【小题 3】What is the author trying to tell us? A. Happiness often goes hand in hand with pain. B. One must know how to attain happiness. C. It is important to make commitments. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 7 D. It is pain that leads to happiness. 【答案】 【小题 1】A 【小题 2】D 【小题 3】A 2016 高考英语阅读理解--人生百味类 To Friend or Not To Friend We all love our parents and turn to them when we’re in need, but would you like them to hear the conversations you have with your friends on the school playground or lunch queue? Social networking sites have become extensions of the school hallways, so would you add your parents as “friends” and allow them to view your online activities and conversations with friends? In the past the generation gap included a technology gap, where children were up to date with latest technology and parents were left behind, content to continue their day to day lives as they always had because they had no need to know more about technology. However, more and more parents are beginning to realize just how important social networks are in their lives. This realization has given many parents the motivation to education themselves about social networking sites. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 8 These days many people are attracted to social networking sites because they can choose who they have around them; there’s also a certain amount of control over privacy that we don’t get in real life. Sometimes we feel that privacy is violated when we must accept a “friend” request from a parent or family member. It’s a difficult choice whether or not to allow a parent to become a part of our online lives. On the one hand we don’t want to “reject” their request because that might hurt their feelings or make them feel you have something to hide. On the other hand if you do accept, then you could have a sense of being watched and no longer feel free to comment or communicate the way you did before. A recent survey suggested that parents shouldn’t take it personally if their child ignores their request, “When a teen ignores a parent’s friend request, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are hiding something, but it could mean that this is one part of their life where they want to be independent.” Perhaps talking with parents and giving explanations would help soften the blow if you do choose not to add them to your friends list. 【小题 1】From Paragraph 2, we learn that _______. A．parents feel secure about their privacy online B．social networks successfully fill the generation gap C．parents have realized the importance of social networks D．social networks offer a platform for parents to communicate 【小题 2】Teenagers may refuse a parent’s friend request because _______. A．they hide something from their parents B．they are unwilling to be watched by parents C．their parents tend to fall behind in technology D．their parents make negative comments on them 【小题 3】The passage is mainly about _______. A．privacy online B．social networks C．the generation gap D．parents’ friend requests 【小题 4】The passage is written mainly for _______. 只有比别人更早、更勤奋地努力，才能尝到成功的滋味。 9 A．parents B．teenagers C．teachers D．researchers
