3.推理判断题。根据“Who do you think is the one being negative?”可知,此处询问的是哪个是消极的,B选项“鲍勃:我总是看到事情不好的一面。”符合。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据“Then he felt thirsty, so he wanted to drink some water. But when he looked at the water bottle, he said, ‘Oh, no! It is half empty (空的)!’ Then his classmate Rick looked at the bottle with a big smile on his face and said, ‘How lucky you are! It is half full, too.’”可知,他喜欢看到事物好的一面。故选D。
5.最佳标题题。根据“Then he felt thirsty, so he wanted to drink some water. But when he looked at the water bottle, he said, ‘Oh, no! It is half empty (空的)!’ Then his classmate Rick looked at the bottle with a big smile on his face and said, ‘How lucky you are! It is half full, too.’”以及“Now Scott becomes a person who sees ‘the glass half full, not half empty’ with the help of his new friend!”可知,本文主要讲述了斯科特以前总是看到事情不好的一面,在上个月的学校旅行中他交到了一个好朋友,从而改变了他,让他明白消极于事无补,我们应该试着看到好的一面。因此文章的最佳标题应该是“半满的杯子”。故选A。

【原文】
Hello. I’m Dr Zheng. Life isn’t always easy. Sometimes we meet problems. What shall we do? Let’s take Kate and Mike for example. This morning they both missed their school bus. Kate waved but the bus just went away. Kate had to run all the way to school. Her legs hurt. And she missed the presentation. She thought it was a bad day. Mike ran all the way to school. It’s a great way to exercise. Mike was late for the music class. He sang a song to say sorry. He thought it was a wonderful morning. Well, Kate is a glass half empty person. And Mike is a glass half full person. So it’s important to look on the bright side of life. Let’s choose to see the glass as half full.
