years of marriage,  I started to go out with another woman．It was really my wife's idea． "I know that you love her , " she said one day , taking me by surprise． "But I love YOU, " I protested． "I know , but you also love her．"‎ ‎    The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother ,  who has been a widow for 19 years,  but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally．That night I called to invite her to go dinner and a movie , "What's wrong , are you well ? " she asked．‎ ‎    My mother is the type of woman who suspects that a late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of bad news． " I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you, " I responded． " Just the two of us．" She thought about it for a moment,  then said,  " I would like that very much．"‎ ‎    That Friday after work,  as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous． When I arrived at her house,  I noticed that she,  too,  seemed to be nervous about our date． She waited in the door with her coat on．‎ ‎    She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary． " I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son , and they were impressed , " she said,  as she got into the car． "They can't wait to hear about our meeting．"‎ ‎    We went to a restaurant that,  although not elegant,  was very nice and comfortable． My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady． After we sat down,  I had to read the menu． Her eyes could only read large print．‎ ‎    " It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small, " she said．‎ ‎    "Then it's time that you relax and let me return the favor, " I responded．‎ ‎    During the dinner we had an agreeable conversation ﹣nothing extraordinary ﹣ but catching up on recent events of each other's life． We talked so much that we missed the movie．As we arrived at her house later,  she said．"I'll go out with you again , but only if you let me invite you, " I agreed．‎ ‎（1）From the text， we learn that the writer is________．‎ A.a regular moviegoer．‎ B.a wealthy businessman．‎ C.a frequent visitor to his mother．‎ D.a busy and middle﹣aged father of three．‎ ‎（2）Why was the mother surprised when getting invited________‎ A.She was already in bed．‎ B.She rarely got invited．‎ C.She never expected such a

it's rather humorous that I know these , because studying the earth is not exactly something that would interest me． The only subjects I enjoyed in school were art and spelling．Every other subject I seemed to ________． Anyway , the reason I learned the layers of the earth and actually enjoyed learning them was because my 6th grade teacher told us that she was going to make an ice﹣cream earth． For the entire week,  I tired to imagine how in the world she was going to do this．She had us memorize the layers so that we would be able to tell her names of them before we would get some ice﹣cream that Friday．‎ ‎    Friday came and everyone was excited． I was even more excited that I could tell the teacher the names of each layer． She got a big bowl,  lined it with a chocolate cracker crust,  then three layers of different colored ice﹣cream． I thought it was so cool that the crust was the crust．‎ ‎    This shows me that taking the time to teach creatively is worth it because unique activities are what students will learn,  rather than simply reading everything from a text or listening to lectures done in black and white．‎ ‎（1）According to the writer ，how did his teacher teach creatively？________‎ A.She was humorous and taught geography in art and spelling classes．‎ B.She asked her students to make the ice﹣cream earth with colored layers．‎ C.She made the ice﹣cream as a

children's favorite．‎ C.A woman teacher is better at organizing good classroom activities．‎ D.A knowledge of the earth is best learned through ice﹣ cream making．‎ ‎19.     You have often heard it said ,  " Don't sweat the small stuff．" When it comes to unnecessary worry,  everything is small stuff;  however , when it comes to paying attention to details in your business or personal life,  there are no small things．‎ ‎    One of my favorite title for a book is "Elephants Don't Bite",  which describes how big things are rarely what you have to worry about．It's the small details that into making a mistake． Elephants don't bite , but mosquitoes（蚊子）always do．‎ ‎    Thing of your last good experience in a restaurant or on a flight．If you really examine what made this a good experience , you will discover that it was , quite likely,  a series of small things or even one small extra detail．The unexpected kind greeting or warm "Thank you" makes all the difference in the world．‎ ‎    When I look at the list of my favorite restaurants , one of the details that will get an establishment on the list is to know and remember my name．However , it really doesn't matter as much that they know my name as it matters that they go the extra effort to discover my name and greet me like a valued customer or friend． When it's all said and done , we are each in the people business．‎ ‎    We live in a consumer society , buy what people value more highly than the goods and services they purchase are those that cannot be touched or felt,  small things that add up to a great experience．‎ ‎    To succeed personally or professionally,  treat others as you would like to be treated ‎（1）The saying "Don't sweat the small stuff"（paragraph 1）most probably means________‎ A.Get rid of small goods．‎ B.Work hard on the details．‎ C.Don't forget to do small things．‎ D.Don't worry about unimportant things．‎ ‎（2）Which of the following views does writer want to express？________‎ A.Small things

    LONDON﹣Middle age is truly miserable , according to a study using data from 80 countries showing that depression（抑郁症）is most common among men and woman in their forties．‎ ‎    The British and US researchers found that happiness for people ranging from Albania to Zimbabwe follows a U﹣shaped curve（U 型曲线）where life begins cheerful before turning tough during middle age then returning to the joys of youth in the golden years．‎ ‎    "In a surprisingly regular way throughout the world people slide down a U﹣shaoed level of happiness and mental health throughout their lives , "Andrew Oswald at

women,  to single and married people, to rich and poor , and to those with and without children, " Oswald said． "Nobody knows why this is so．"‎ ‎    One possibility may be that people realize they won't achieve much at middle age , the researchers said．‎ ‎    Another reason could be that after seeing their middle ﹣aged friends begin to die , people begin to value their own remaining years and embrace life once more．‎ ‎    But the good news is that if people make it to age 70 and are still physically fit , they are on average as happy and mentally healthy as a 20﹣year old． "For the average

you start to write a speech？________‎ A.Prepare major points of your speech and think about your audience．‎ B.Explain the topic of your speech to an imagined audience．‎ 第17页 共20页 ◎ 第18页 共20页 C.Write
