15．[1]"Maybe when I'm 90years old，I'll get used to having everything I do taken for granted，"a young homemaker told a secret to her neighbor，"If Bill would compliment me once in a while，he'd make my life much happier．"
[2]Few of us realize how much we need encouragement．Yet we must bask（沐浴于） in the warmth of approval now and then or lose our self-confidence．
[3]All of us need to feel needed and admired．But unless we hear words of praise from someone else，how can we know that we are valued friends or co-workers？
[4]Anyone who wants to improve his relationships with others need only show a sympathetic understanding．The way to express this understanding and to give others the feeling of importance and worthiness boils down to this：always look for something in the other person you can admire and praise and tell him about it．
[5]We each have a mental picture of ourselves，a self-image．To find life reasonably satisfying，that self-image must be one we can live with，one we can like．When we are proud of our self-image，we feel confident and free to be ourselves．We function at our best．When we are ashamed of our self-image，we attempt to hide it rather than express it．We become hard to get along with．
[6]A miracle happens to the person whose self-pride has been raised．He suddenly likes other people better．He is kinder and more cooperative with those around him．Praise is the polish that helps keep his self-image bright and sparkling．
[7]What has this to do with your giving praise？A lot．You have the ability to perform that kind of miracle in another person．When you add to his self-pride，you make him want to like you and to cooperate with you．
[8]In a classic bit of advice，Lord Chesterfield suggested to his son that he should follow the example of the Duke de Nivernoise："You will recognize that he makes people pleased with him by making them first pleased with themselves．"
[9]The effects of Praise can be great indeed．A new minister called to a church whose members were jokingly referred to as"a refrigerator"by other ministers decided against criticizing his people for their coolness toward strangers．Instead，he began welcoming visitors and telling them how friendly the members of the church were．Things gradually changed．"Praise transformed the ice-cube members into warmhearted human beings，"he said．

66．From paragraph[1]and paragraph[2]we can learn thatA．
A．the young homemaker had a thirst for Bill's praise
B．the neighbor reminded Bill to compliment the homemaker
C．it is well-known that we all need encouragement very much
D．getting other people's approval leads to losing self-confidence
67．According to the passage，we become difficult to get on with probably becauseB．
A．we want to show our self-image
B．we are not satisfied with our self-image
C．a(chǎn) miracle happens to other people
D．we are ashamed of being praised
68．The example in paragraph[8]tells us thatC．
A．Lord Chesterfield advised his son to praise the Duke de Nivernois
B．the Duke de Nivernois made Lord Chesterfield pleased with his son
C．praising other people will help win other people's compliment
D．receiving words of praise should go before praising other people
69．In paragraph[9]，"a refrigerator"was quoted probably becauseD．
A．it was always freezing cold in the church
B．the new minister criticized his people coolly
C．the church took the shape of a refrigerator
D．the members of the church were unfriendly to strangers．

分析 本文屬于夾敘夾議類閱讀，開頭寫出了年輕的家庭主婦覺得她丈夫的贊美會(huì)使她的生活更快樂，引出下文對(duì)鼓勵(lì)他人的好處的闡述，作者通過(guò)這篇文章告訴我們要表?yè)P(yáng)別人，這樣能增加他們的自豪感，別人也會(huì)喜歡和你相處．

解答 66．A  推理判斷題．由第一段If Bill would compliment me once in a while，he'd make my life much happier．"可知Bill的贊美會(huì)使她的生活更快樂．由第二段Yet we must bask（沐浴于） in the warmth of approval now and then or lose our self-confidence．可知我們每個(gè)人都需要?jiǎng)e人的鼓勵(lì)支持，否則我們就會(huì)失去自信．故可推知這位年輕的家庭主婦渴望得到丈夫的表?yè)P(yáng)贊美．故選A．
67．B  推理判斷題．由第五段中的"When we are ashamed of our self-image，we attempt to hide it rather than express it．We become hard to get along with"可知，當(dāng)我們對(duì)自身的形象不滿意，自慚形穢的時(shí)候，我們就想掩蓋它，這時(shí)候，我們就變成了很難相處的人．故選B．
68．C  推理判斷題．在第七段When you add to his self-pride，you make him want to like you and to cooperate with you．，當(dāng)你表?yè)P(yáng)別人，增加了別人的自豪感時(shí)．別人就會(huì)喜歡你，愿意和你相處．第八段中的例子證明了這一點(diǎn)．故選C．
69．D  推理判斷題．由第九段中的"their coolness toward strangers"可知，這些教堂里的工作人員對(duì)陌生人非常的冷淡，所以別人都稱他們?yōu)?a refrigerator"．故選D．

點(diǎn)評(píng) 做閱讀理解時(shí)要快速的瀏覽全文，把握文章主旨大意，帶著問(wèn)題回到原文，尋找細(xì)節(jié)或概括相應(yīng)的答案，最后要理清作者寫作思路．

18．All you have is what you bring with you
I've always felt a need to be prepared for whatever situation I've found myself in．
My mother once took me to a store when I was seven years old．She and I got to the checkout counter，and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list．She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed．
"I'll be right back．"she said．
She was gone just a few minutes，but in that time，I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up．I was left staring at the cashier，who was staling at me．"Do you have money for me，son？"she said．"I'll need to be paid．"-
I didn't realize she was just trying to amuse herself．So I stood there，ashamed and embarrassed．
By the time my mom returned，I was angry．"You left me here with no money!This lady asked me for the money，and I had nothing to give her I"
Now that I'm an adult，you'll never catch me with less than $200 in my wallet．I want to be prepared in case I need it．

"It's Okay．"he announced．"There's nothing to worry about．"
We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out．He had brought along a spare bulb for the Overhead projector．Who could even think of that？
I often told my students，"When you go into the wilderness，the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you．"And essentially，the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office．So take money．Pack a light bulb．Be prepared．

3．Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer．
     An apprenticeship is a form of on-the-job training that combines workplace experience and classroom learning．It can last anywhere from one to six years，but four years is typical for most．An apprentice spends the majority of the time in a workplace environment learning the practical skills of a career from a journeyman--someone who has done the job for many years．The rest of the apprentice's time is spent in a classroom environment learning the theoretical skills the career requires．Being an apprentice is a full-time undertaking．
    One of the advantages of apprenticeship is that it does not cost apprentices anything．The companies that hire them pay for school．What's more，it offers apprentices an"earn while you learn"opportunity．They usually start out at half the pay of a journeyman，and the pay increases gradually as they move further along in the job and studies．Near the end of the apprenticeship，their wages are usually 90percent of what a journeyman would receive．Apprenticeship also pays off for employers．It can offer employers a pool of well-trained workers to draw from．
    Despite the advantages，apprentices are usually required to work during the day and attend classes at night，which leaves little time for anything else．Sometimes，they might be laid off（下崗） if business for the employers is slow．
    Once they have completed the apprenticeship and become journeymen，they receive a nationally recognized and portable certification and their pay also increases again．Some journeymen continue employment with the companies they apprenticed with；others go onto different companies or become self-employed contractors．

10．Thanksgiving Day is special holiday in the United States and Canada．Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessing．
    Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival．This is why it is celebrated in late fall，after the corps are in．But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest．On December 4，1619，the Pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City，Virginia．They knelt down and thanked God for their safe journey across the Atlantic．
    The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest．The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth，Massachusetts，in 1620．They had a difficult time and the first winter was cruel．Many of the Pilgrims died．But the next year，they had a good harvest．So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast．The Pilgrims invited Indian friends to join them for their special feast．Everyone brought food．
    In time，other colonies（殖民地） began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving．But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day．During the Civil War，Sarah Josepha Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it．He proclaimed（宣布） the last Thursday of November 1863 as a day of thanksgiving．Today，Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November．Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbors．But the Canadian thanks-giving day falls on the second Monday in October．

20．What I remember most about visiting my boyfriend's parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dinner room as we silently ate our meal．With so little conversation I was quick to regard his family as cold．When we got into the car to go home，his father suddenly appeared．Carefully，he began to wash the car's windscreen．I could feel he was a caring man through the glass．
I learned another lesson about the ways of showing love．My father often telephoned me early in the morning．"Buy Printer．It's a good sharp price，"he might say when I answered the phone．No pleasant greeting or inquiry about my life，just financial instructions．We often quarreled about it．But one day，I thought about my father's success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his short morning calls．The next time he called and told me to buy a stock，I thanked him．

Brian Aldiss is an amazing and frustrating writer．When he is on song，his style is forceful，disturbing and delectable．But he is a restless writer．He came into his own in the enthusiastic and experimental atmosphere of the New Wave，and he has been driven to try the new and the different ever since．That he is still experimenting now，50years after his first appearance，is a measure of a man who has never been prepared to settle back on his laurels．

With so many fantasy novels using European-derived settings and mythology，ancient China makes a refreshing change．The landscape is tempting and yet familiar enough to feel very real，and the author uses magic sparingly，in ways appropriate to her society．This and the complex detail put into the backdrop makes the novel feel very much like historical fiction．
