(考试时间:90分钟 满分:100分)
一、阅读理解(本题共20小题,每小题2分,共40分)
A
When I was about 12, I had an enemy(敌人),a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you are really like? Well , you now have that girl’s opinions. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark(标记) the points that are true. Pay no attention(注意力) to the other things she said.”
I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I found that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change(like being very thin), but a good number I could and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I got a very clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know the truth about yourself better than anyone else. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feel hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your responsibility. Don’t close your ears. Listen to what they think you should do or shouldn’t do. But hear the truth and do what you think is right.”
Daddy’s advice returns to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice.
