Section Ⅳ　“Developing ideas”的课文习读环节 [课时跟踪检测]　　　(标语篇配有教师讲评课件) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A I was recently presented with a “great” professional opportunity that seemed appealing to everyone in my field. There was one problem, however: I didn't want it. When I was originally offered the position, I responded with a “yes” immediately. It was a “no­brainer”. “Wow” was the only response I received when mentioning it to others. As I began preparing for the new job, I felt a heavy weight in my chest and became teary­eyed for no apparent reason. Concerned, I reached out to the program director and explained my situation. She did what all good program directors do and listed the position's incredible bonuses, the convenient schedule and reasons why countless teachers would want this position. She also made the case for why this experience would provide exactly the recharge and restoration I needed. Her enthusiasm was infectious(有感染力的), and I found myself slipping back into the “should” mode, convincing myself that declining would be foolish. The familiar internal dialogue of “I should, I should, I should ...” reverberated (回响), leaving me feeling trapped. But then I realized I needed to make a change. Instead of focusing on how great this opportunity seemed for others, I asked myself if it was right for me. That simple change paved the way for freedom and clarity. By acknowledging my own feelings and experiences, rather than external expectations, I was able to reconnect with my true self. The truth was that I wished I wanted this opportunity; if that were true, it would make my life a whole lot easier in many ways. And yet, it was not what in reality I wanted at this moment. We are often conditioned to seek what we are taught to want and prioritize external guidelines for what should make us happy. However, these external constructs of fulfillment are not the same as what you do want and what does make you happy. Discovering your own desires is an internal process that only you have access to. Trusting your own wanting is the path back to your true self, your power and your wisdom, which ultimately leads to genuine happiness. 语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文，讲述了作者面对一个看似人人都向往的工作机会，起初因外界看法不假思索接受，准备过程中却内心不适。与项目负责人沟通后，作者意识到应倾听内心，遵循自己真正的想法，而非外界期望，从而领悟到追寻内心、不随波逐流的道理。 1．What made the author initially accept the job without hesitation?

Those underutilized (未充分使用的) items may seem useless to some, but could be of value to others.With the advent of the Internet, online communities have figured out a way to generate profit from the sharing of those underused property.Using websites and social media groups that facilitate the buying and selling of second­hand goods, it is now easier than ever for peer­to­peer sharing activities to take place.And this is known as the sharing economy. These popular online platforms are providing a chance for people to make a quick fortune.To give an example, busy parents previously might not have bothered with setting up a stall at the local market to sell their children's old equipment, but with online marketplaces, parents are now able to sell on those hardly worn baby clothes that their children have outgrown so as to put some cash back into their pockets. Businesses have also caught on to the profitability of the sharing economy and are seeking to gain from making use of those underutilized resources.Some companies act as a middleman for people to cash in on their unused rooms and houses and let them out as profitable accommodation.Another company encourages people to use their own personal cars as taxis to make some extra cash in their free time. This move towards a sharing economy is not without criticisms.Unlike businesses, unregulated individuals do not have to follow certain regulations and this can lead to poorer and inconsistent quality of goods and services and a higher risk of fraud.Nevertheless, in the consumerist society we live in today, the increased opportunities to sell on our unwanted and underused goods can lead to a lesser impact on our environment. 语篇解读：本文是一篇新闻报道。随着网络和社交平台的发展，共享经济随之出现，这使得售卖东西更容易，但是共享经济有弊有利。 5．Why can people now sell things more easily? A．People nowadays buy more things. B．Businesses want to buy the things they don't use. C．There are now more market stalls. D．There are now online platforms to do business. 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第二段“Using websites and social media groups that ...for peer­to­peer sharing activities to take place”可知，在线交易平台使得售卖东西变得更容易。 6．Which of these is something that we might underutilize? A．Thick coat in a cold country. B．Clothes our babies don't or can't wear any more. C．The latest smartphone. D．The storeroom in our house. 解析：选B　细节理解题。由第三段“but with online marketplaces, parents are ...so as to put some cash back into their pockets.”可知，孩子穿不了的婴儿衣服能在网络上销售，所以B选项“我们的孩子不穿或不能再穿的衣服”可能没有被充分利用。 7．It might be a problem for unregulated individuals to sell to others because ________. A．what they sell might be of a lower quality B．they have to follow certain regulations C．they don't have a business license D．they like to criticize their buyers 解析：选A　 细节理解题。由最后一段“Unlike businesses，unregulated individuals ...and services and a higher risk of fraud.”可知，对于不受监管的个人来说，向他人推销商品可能会产生相关的问题，因为他们卖的东西的质量可能比较差。 8．What might be a good title for this article? A．The consumerist society B．Parents who need money C．The rise of the sharing economy D．Why we buy things we don't need 解析：选C　标题归纳题。短文主要是围绕着“共享经济的兴起”而展开的。故短文最佳的标题为“共享经济的兴起”。 Ⅱ.阅读七选五() Many teenagers often get pocket money from their family and loved ones.__9__， it's crucial to approach the wealth with wisdom and foresight. __10__.
