If you want to make interesting talks, you should read news in newspapers and prepare your views, or surf (冲浪) the Internet for new information and then keep it in mind.

He was not a clever student but studied harder than all of us when we were at school. We were all encouraged by him at that time. And now, he is an excellent worker in his company. That day I came to visit him and wanted to turn to him because I had some trouble with my work. At first, we talked about the past happy life in the school while eating. Then I talked with my friend as we were walking. When we came to a wide bridge, we met a blind man who went in the same direction as us. Because he needed to find the way with the stick in his hand, he walked very slowly. Since I was in trouble, I didn’t take notice of him. I talked about my five job-hopping (跳槽) experiences within two years and complained (抱怨) of the trouble I was still going through. My friend just listened to me, nodded and smiled, and he kept mute all along the way. After a while, when I looked forward, I found that the blind man walked farther than we did. I couldn’t believe it. I asked, “How did the blind man walk farther than we did?” My friend said, “Because he put his whole heart into walking. He was trying his best to walk and that was the only thing he did.” That was for sure. He just kept walking, but I was always talking and complaining while walking. 1．The writer visited his friend because ________.

I asked, ‘How did the blind man walk farther than we did?’”可知，作者不敢相信这件事，体现出作者看到盲人走得更远时的惊讶之情。故选D。 5．细节理解题。根据文中内容可知，首先，“I was walking with one of my friends along the road in my hometown”即b：作者和朋友沿路散步；接着，“Then I talked with my friend as we were walking”即a：作者和朋友边走边聊；然后，“when we came to a wide bridge, we met a blind man who went in the same direction as us”即d：两人遇到同向行走的盲人；之后，“I found that the blind man walked farther than we did”即c：作者发现盲人走得更远；最后，“My friend said, ‘Because he put his whole heart into walking...’”即e：朋友解释盲人走得更远的原因。因此正确顺序为b-a-d-c-e。故选C。 重难语篇提升练 From early childhood, we are looking for our most prized friends. Friends have a great influence on us. You can’t change the people around you, but you can choose your friends wisely. Are your friends helping you develop in any way, say they help you with a healthy lifestyle or have rich professional experience that you can learn from? Good friends can help you become a better person. In short, do you see meaningful growth by getting along with them? Good friends whom you can trust will create a safe environment for you to share your deepest truths. They will likely let your secret remain a secret. They will hold you in high esteem (尊重) in public. They will keep their words. Their actions will match their words. And if you goofed up they would even help you out of difficult situations with their well-meaning advice. Good friends who value you will create space in their life for you. In today’s fast-paced age, we are often noticing how we spend our time, and if you find your friends making time and space for you, it is a signal they value your company. Yes, your friends have a role to play when you’re going through an important event, say a heartbreak or the loss of job. They will help you with good quality advice that can help you piece your life together. They have your best interest at heart and support you with their objective advice.

Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (邻近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities (性格) and interests. It’s the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said, “You are average of five people you spend the most time with.” ②Over the past ten months, I’ve paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I’m writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a draft (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard. ③______ It’s because that I don’t know what I don’t know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful. ④Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He’s been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It’s not a bad thing because it creates high pressure to help me make great progress in organizing author training. ⑤In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential (潜力). Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don’t change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can’t ignore this. 1．Why does the writer use Jim Rohn’s words in Paragraph 1? A．To support the writer’s opinion. B．To introduce the writer’s best friend. C．To show Jim Rohn’s working ability. D．To prove Jim Rohn is a great person. 2．Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3 ______? A．It’s not that my workmates’ abilities are low. B．It’s not that my working ability was born low. C．It’s not that the friends based on proximity. D．It’s not that I’ve paid Ryan to help me with my book. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)？ A．The writer’s performance. B．Jim Rohn’s famous saying. C．Richard’s different experience. D．Richard’s strictness with the writer. 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．We can improve our working abilities by ourselves.

It’s not a bad thing because it creates high pressure to help me make great progress in organizing author training.”可知，it指代前文Richard对作者的严格要求。故选D。 4．主旨大意题。通读原文可知，文章通过举例和论述，强调要和能帮助自己认识水平与潜力、将自己提升到更高层次的人相处。故选C。 5．篇章结构题。通读原文可知，第1段总起，讲人们交友及受他人影响的普遍情况；第2、3和4段分别以和Ryan、Richard合作的例子论述；第5段总结要和能助力自身的人相处，结构为①→{②③/④}→⑤。故选B。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ Unit 3 Same or Different? 单元话题阅读理解练习 Unit 3 Same or Different?单元话题：人物之间对比 本资料共10篇专题训练，从上到下依次按照难度分为基础语篇巩固练和重难语篇提升练 基础语篇巩固练 阅读下列材料，从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中，选出最佳选项。 Wang Xiaojun, 49, has a small hotel in Pingyao, a county in Shanxi.

You can start becoming outgoing with your best friend. But the difficulty comes when you meet strangers or new friends. Smile more, and usually they will return your smile. In this way, you may have more talks. Start a talk, and just a simple (简单的) “Hello!” or “How is it going?” is a good start. If you want to make interesting talks, you should read news in newspapers and prepare your views, or surf (冲浪) the Internet for new information and then keep it in mind.

If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different. You live in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities (性格). Why? The reasons are as follows. Firstborn (第一胎生的) children get more love from their parents. Parents usually give firstborn children more responsibility (责任) and ask them to look after younger brothers or sisters. So, firstborn children are often responsible, hard-­working and jealous (妒忌的). They often want to do well at school and work. When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (竞争) with the firstborn for parents and love. These children often have different sports and interests to do well in at school and work, but they must have a new way to get their family’s care. They are often friendly and cool. Do you think so? 1．Why are firstborn children often responsible? A．Because they get more love from their parents. B．Because they have to compete with the second­born children.

That day I came to visit him and wanted to turn to him because I had some trouble with my work. At first, we talked about the past happy life in the school while eating. Then I talked with my friend as we were walking. When we came to a wide bridge, we met a blind man who went in the same direction as us. Because he needed to find the way with the stick in his hand, he walked very slowly. Since I was in trouble, I didn’t take notice of him. I talked about my five job-hopping (跳槽) experiences within two years and complained (抱怨) of the trouble I was still going through. My friend just listened to me, nodded and smiled, and he kept mute all along the way. After a while, when I looked forward, I found that the blind man walked farther than we did. I couldn’t believe it. I asked, “How did the blind man walk farther than we did?” My friend said, “Because he put his whole heart into walking. He was trying his best to walk and that was the only thing he did.” That was for sure. He just kept walking, but I was always talking and complaining while walking. 1．The writer visited his friend because ________.

Friends have a great influence on us. You can’t change the people around you, but you can choose your friends wisely. Are your friends helping you develop in any way, say they help you with a healthy lifestyle or have rich professional experience that you can learn from? Good friends can help you become a better person. In short, do you see meaningful growth by getting along with them? Good friends whom you can trust will create a safe environment for you to share your deepest truths. They will likely let your secret remain a secret. They will hold you in high esteem (尊重) in public. They will keep their words. Their actions will match their words. And if you goofed up they would even help you out of difficult situations with their well-meaning advice. Good friends who value you will create space in their life for you. In today’s fast-paced age, we are often noticing how we spend our time, and if you find your friends making time and space for you, it is a signal they value your company. Yes, your friends have a role to play when you’re going through an important event, say a heartbreak or the loss of job. They will help you with good quality advice that can help you piece your life together. They have your best interest at heart and support you with their objective advice. In a word, a good friend is also a guide to you. With these tips, you can create a pool of good friendships for life. Remember what you choose for yourself today has an important bearing on your tomorrow. 1．The underlined phrase “goofed up” probably means “________”.

A．the importance of good friends B．the tips for choosing friends wisely C．the advice on getting along with others D．the ways of making friends ①Some researchers explain how most people form their social groups with people of their age. Especially, as children and teenagers, even adults, people make their friends based on proximity (邻近) more than anything else. Even in a college classroom, the students may not make friends with those who have similar personalities (性格) and interests. It’s the people they really sit next to. Clearly, who stands to you has the greatest influence on you. As Jim Rohn has widely said, “You are average of five people you spend the most time with.” ②Over the past ten months, I’ve paid Ryan, a famous writer of several bestselling books, to help with the book I’m writing. Working with him has shown me just how low my standards for my work are. For example, every time I send him a draft (草稿), he shows me how it could be 10 times better, and he holds me to that standard. ③______ It’s because that I don’t know what I don’t know. Working with Ryan has made me realize what is possible and what it takes to create something powerful. ④Like Ryan, my business partner Richard has wonderful ideas and far different experience than I have. He has written 36 New York Times Bestsellers. He’s been speaking and doing events for 20 years. Richard always performs at high levels, and he is also very strict with me because my performance is a reflection (反映) on him. It’s not a bad thing because it creates high pressure to help me make great progress in organizing author training. ⑤In a word, you need to stay with those people who can help you realize your level and potential (潜力). Staying with people who have higher standards is the fastest way for you to change. If you don’t change your environment, your progress will be very slow. Who you stay with has huge importance. You can’t ignore this. 1．Why does the writer use Jim Rohn’s words in Paragraph 1? A．To support the writer’s opinion. B．To introduce the writer’s best friend. C．To show Jim Rohn’s working ability. D．To prove Jim Rohn is a great person. 2．Which of the following can be put at the beginning of Paragraph 3 ______? A．It’s not that my workmates’ abilities are low. B．It’s not that my working ability was born low. C．It’s not that the friends based on proximity. D．It’s not that I’ve paid Ryan to help me with my book. 3．What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to (指代)？ A．The writer’s performance. B．Jim Rohn’s famous saying. C．Richard’s different experience. D．Richard’s strictness with the writer. 4．What does the writer mainly want to tell us? A．We can improve our working abilities by ourselves. B．We must pay attention to our talent and potential. C．We’d better make friends with those who can hold us to higher levels. D．We should stay with those who have similar personalities and interests. 5．What’s the structure of this passage? A．①→②→③→④→⑤ B．①{②③/④}→⑤ C．①→②{③/④}→⑤ D．①{②/③/④}→⑤ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
