11、ersonSeveral years ago my parents, my wife, my son, and I ate at one of those restaurants where the menu is written on a blackboard. After a wonderful dinner, the waiter set the bill in the middle of the table. Thats when it happened: my father did not reach for the bill.Conversation continued. Fina

12、lly it dawned on me. I was supposed to pick up the bill! After hundreds of restaurant meal with my parents, after a lifetime of thinking of my father as the one who had the money, it had all changed. I reached for the check, and my view of myself was suddenly altered. I was an adult.Some people mark

13、 off their lives in years; I measure mine in small events in rites of passage. I did not become a young man at a particular age, like 13, but rather when a kid walked into the store where I worked and called me “mister”. He repeated it several times, looking straight at me. The realization hit like

14、a punch: Me! I was suddenly a mister.There have been other milestones. The cops of my youth always seemed big, even huge, and of course they were older than I was. Then one day they were suddenly neither. In fact, some were kids short kids at that. The day came when I suddenly realized that all the

15、football player in the game I was watching were younger than I was. They were just big kids. With that milestone went the dream that someday, maybe, I too could be a football player. Without ever having reached the hill, I was over it.I never thought that I would fall asleep in front of the televisi

16、on set as my father did. Now its what I do best. I never thought that I would go to the beach and not swim. Yet I spent all of August at the seaside and never once went into the ocean. I never thought that I would like opera, but now the sadness and combination of voice and orchestra appeal to me. I

17、 never thought that I would prefer to stay home evenings, but now I find myself passing up parties. I used to think that people who watched birds were strange, but this summer I found myself watching them, and maybe Ill get a book on the subject. I long for a religious conviction that I never though

18、t Id want, and in arguments with my son, I repeat what my father used to say to me. I still lose.One day I bought a house. One day what a day! I became a father, and not too long after that I picked up the bill for my own father. I thought then it was a rite of passage for me. But one day, when I wa

19、s a little older, I realized it was one for him too.

23、eeded in winningPassage twoThe verb procrastinate comes from the Latin procrastinate, which means to postpone until tomorrow. To procrastinate, then, is to delay doing something until some future time, and a procrastinator is someone who is always putting off what he or she should be doing right now

24、. Those of us who have a tendency toward procrastination know that it is a terrible habit. Every day we tell ourselves that we must start doing things immediately, and each day we postpone our work, are late for deadlines, and put off keeping our promises to other people. Because we are always in th

25、e process of procrastinating, we are also always trying to catch up. We are always doing yesterdays jobs today, and tomorrow we will be doing todays unfinished work. Maybe the way to overcome procrastination is to change our habits gradually. We can start with a daily schedule of the things we want

26、or need to accomplish. But lets be reasonable. We shouldnt crowd the list with too many tasks, and we should be realistic about what we can do. Especially in the beginning we should be lenient(宽大的, 仁慈的) with ourselves. After all, if we get discouraged at the start, we will go right back to our old h

27、abits. Finally, if we begin to follow our own schedule for each day, we will stop postponing the chores that face us. Life will become far less complicated and each day will be easier to face. We will undoubtedly feel better about ourselves, too, because we will know that we can overcome our weaknes

28、ses and improve ourselves.1. The first paragraph tells us _ of the word procrastinate.A) the originB) the meaningC) the historyD) both A and B2.

30、y for them to faceB) they cant choose what to doC) things often become more difficult the next dayD) they will lose interest in doing things5. The author of the passage tries to tell us _.A) that to be a procrastinator is not easyB) to be procrastinatorsC) that to be a procrastinator is bad for ones

31、elfD) that being a procrastinator is good for othersPassage three A good reader is one who can read beyond the lines, seeing ideas implied through the words, and one who can bridge the gap between the obvious and the suggested, thus obtaining much more information. Lets look at the following sentenc

32、e: JOHN HENDERSON WAS DRIVING HOME LATE LAST NIGHT FROM AN EXHAUSTING BUSINESS TRIP. As you might have realized, this is the opening sentence of a story. It tells the reader whom the story is about - John Henderson, and when the event takes place - late one night, if we read carefully and thoughtful

33、ly we can also infer from this sentence that1. John Henderson may be a businessman because he has just finished a business trip2. John Henderson must be very tired because the trip is exhausting3.

34、usting trip.Making inferences while reading will always help us achieve a better comprehension. But we should keep in mind that inferences must be made with care and supported by evidence.

How, then, did man come to invent the wheel? Perhaps some early hunters found that they c

39、ould roll the dead body of a heavy animal through the forest on logs more easily than they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot. It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected at their centers by a strong stick. This would roll along
