Not wrong to refuse
We all have a right to say “no”.Many of us feel that if we say we’ll do something,we can’t change our minds and back out.Thisisn’t true.We have the ability to make our own decisions,and to say “no” whenever we feel we need to.
I have a friend who used to say yes to every job she was offered.It wasn’t long before she found herself exhausted and
overworked,and ready to call it quits.After one particularly difficult week of working straight through with no days off,my friendrealized something needed to change.She was trying so hard to please the people around her that she forgot about her ownneeds in the process.
After a while of saying yes to everything,my friend began to say no to jobs based on certain things.If it is something that helpsyou,go ahead and make a list of requirements in order to say yes.Or maybe you just decide to say no three times a week.Theimportant thing is to remember that it is completely OK to say no to people,and that you don’t have to justify (证明……是正当的) why you’ve done so.
I think this is something that trips up a lot of people,myself included.Not only do we feel as though we can’t say no,but we feelas though if we do say no,we have to have an amazing reason for doing so,and the person we are saying no to has tosomehow be OK with it,or we must feel guilty.
If we can start saying no,and stop justifying ourselves for every decision we make,we might just be happier.But we have tostart one step at a time.These behaviors are part of us and they can’t just be changed overnight (⼀夜间).We can becomeaware,and work to change them one behavior at a time.
Today,I challenge you to say no to something that you would normally say yes to.If you don’t feel comfortable with that quiteyet,just try to become aware of the times you’re justifyi ng your actions to yourself and others.Try to stop and remind yourselfthat you have your reasons,and others don’t need to know them.1.According to the article,we can infer that the author’s friend .A.was forbidden to have a day off for her job
B.finally decided to practice saying no three times a week
C.was valued in the company because of her love of helping
D.realized she should consider her own needs when making decisions2.The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 4 refers to “”.A.having to give reasons for a refusalB.saying no a certain number of times a weekC.an important thing to rememberD.it being OK to say no to people
3.What is the author’s suggestion when you begin to refuse others?A.Develop a habit of refusing others every day.
B.Remind yourself that refusal is your right and is something you will get used to gradually.C.Explain your reason to others and don’t make them angry.D.Stop saying yes and challenge yourself to say no immediately.4.The author wrote this article mainly to .
A.explain what makes it difficult for people to refuse othersB.explain the benefits and disadvantages of refusing othersC.tell readers that we should refuse other people in certain casesD.tell a story about her friend who couldn’t help but please others

2.A 词义猜测题。根据第三段末尾和第四段开头可知,此处this指代的是前⽂的“have to justify(证明……是正当的) why you’vedone so”,正是这样的⾏为和⼼态束缚了⼤多数⼈,因此答案为A项。其他三项均不是this所指代的内容。
3.B 推理判断题。此题可定位⾄⽂章最后两段,最后两段中作者表⽰,这是⼀种习惯,我们不可能⼀夜之间改变,只能⼀步⼀步来,逐步习惯,⽽且我们要保持⼀种⼼态,即:拒绝别⼈是我们的权利,也是很正常的⼀件事,因此答案为B项。
4.C 主旨⼤意题。通读⽂章我们可以看出,作者⼀直在告诉读者拒绝是我们的权利,也是很正常的事情,在某些情况下我们应该习惯拒绝别⼈,学着拒绝别⼈,因此答案为C项。C
In the mid-1950s，I was a somewhat bored early-ado lescent male student who believed thatdoing_any_more_than_necessary_
was_wasted_effort.One day，this approach threw me into embarrassment.
In Mrs.Totten's eighth-grade math class at Central Avenue School in Anderson，Indiana，we were learning to add andsubtract decimals (⼩数)．
Our teacher typically assigned daily homework，which would be recited in class the following day.On most days，ourgrades were based on our oral answers to homework questions.
Mrs.Totten usually walked up and down the rows of desks requesting answers from student after student in the order thequestions had appeared on our homework sheets.She would start either at the front or the back of the classroom and worktoward the other end. Since I was seated near the middle of about 35 students，it was easy to figure out which questions Imight have to answer.This particular time，I had completed my usual two or three problems according to my calculations.What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threw off my estimate.As Mrs.Totten made her wayfrom the beginning of the class，I desperately tried to determine which math problem I would get.I tried to work it out beforeshe got to me，but I had brain freeze and couldn't function.
When Mrs.Totten reached my desk，she asked what answer I'd got for problem No.14.“I...I didn't get anything，”Ianswered，and my face felt warm.“Correct，”she said.
It turned out that the correct answer was zero.
What did I learn that day？First，always do all your homework.Second，in real life it isn't always what you say but how yousay it that matters.Third，I would never make it as a mathematician.
If I could choose one school day that taught me the most，it would be that one. 1．What does the underlined part inParagraph 1 indicate?
A．It is wise to value one's time.B．It is important to make an effort.C．It is right to stick to one's belief.D．It is enough to do the necessary.
2．Usually，Mrs.Totten asked her students to ________.A．recite their homework togetherB．grade their homework themselvesC．answer their homework questions orallyD．check the answers to their homework questions
3．The author could work out which questions to answer since the teacher always________.
A．asked questions in a regular way
B．walked up and down when asking questionsC．chose two or three questions for the studentsD．requested her students to finish their usual questions
4．The author failed to get the questions he had expected because ________. A．the class didn't begin as usualB．several students didn't come to schoolC．he didn't try hard to make his estimate
D．Mrs.Totten didn't start from the back of the class
5．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．An Unforgettable Teacher B．A Future MathematicianC．An Effective Approach D．A Valuable Lesson答案：
【语篇解读】本⽂为记叙⽂。作者通过回忆⾃⼰⼩时候不完成家庭作业，只是应付数学⽼师所提问题的故事，告诉⼤家⾃⼰从这件事中受到的教育以及吸取的教训。
1．D 解析：考查句意理解。根据语境可知，作者认为只要做必要的事就够了，故D项正确。2．C 解析：考查细节理解。根据第三段最后⼀句“On most days，our grades were based on our oral answers to homework questions”可知，⼤多数时候，⽼师只要求学⽣⼝头回答家庭作业。
3．A 解析：考查推理判断。根据第四段的内容可知，作者的数学⽼师总是按照题⽬顺序和学⽣的座位顺序提问，很有规律。故A项正确。
4．B 解析：考查细节理解。根据第六段第⼀句“What I failed to expect was that several students were absent，which threwoff my estimate”可知，作者没有料到的是有⼏个学⽣缺课，没有来学校，所以他没有估计对⾃⼰要回答的问题。故选B。5．D 解析：考查标题判断。根据全⽂尤其是⽂章最后⼀段可知，本⽂主要讲述了作者从⾃⼰应付数学⽼师所提问题⽽有⼀次差点失败这件事上吸取了教训，上了宝贵的⼀堂课。故D项最适合作⽂章标题。D
(2017·北京东城⼆模)
In the face of the tensions and pressures every single day,a sense of humor can be helpful.The ability to laugh is very
important to our fullest development and to our “mental health”.And if we can laugh at ourselves,we’re even further along theroad to self-fulfillment.Consider the following example.
Gordon is hoping to become a professional singer.He has a good voice,and has performed in public many times.But he’svery sensitive about his abilities.For instance,if his voice coach suggests he practice a particular song a few more times untilhe gets it right,Gordon falls apart,absolutely certain that the coach is implying that he isn’t any good and he has no future inmusic.
He mentioned his sensitivity in his paper for a psychology class.The psychology professor called him in,outwardly to talkabout the paper,but hoping to give the boy a chance to open up about the problem.The teacher rarely told her students whatthey ought to do,but she felt Gordon should know that such extreme sensitivity would make it difficult for him in the
entertainment field,where stage personnel,and fellow performers often are very hard on new talent.She asked Gordon if hefelt he had made necessary preparations to follow through in such a competitive and difficult business.
Gordon got angry with the teacher,pointing a brave finger at her,and told her she was “dead wrong” about him.Further,Gordonasked what she could possibly know about music and the pressures of the profession.The teacher stood up and turnedGordon around,right in the middle of a sentence,asking him to continue,but to watch himself in the mirror on the back of theoffice door as he talked.Gordon tried to go on,pointing and gesticulating(做⼿势),but suddenly he saw his expression in themirror,then when he turned to face the psychologist,he noticed a smile beginning to form on the teacher’s face.At the very topof his “outburst,” Gordon burst out laughing.He stopped his aggressive talk and asked the teacher if he looked that ridiculousall the time.
Seeing himself “objectively” made Gordon realize that how ridiculous it was to take himself so seriously.In our everydaylife,the ability to catch ourselves being so serious,bearing all the burdens of the world,and trying to save the human racehelps us relieve some built-up tension through laughter.
Laughter is a necessary part of mental http://www.doczj.com/doc/c019544caff8941ea76e58fafab069dc50224785.htmlughteris one of the ways in which we relax and recreate the selfhood.The things we find in humor may vary,but the experiences ofhumor,pleasure,and enjoyment are extremely important and must be1.From the first two paragraphs,we can learn that Gordon .A.has broken up with his coachB.has failed to be a professional singerC.keeps practicing and hopes for the bestD.feels very sensitive to other people’s comments2.Why did the psychologist talk with Gordon?A.To discuss his paper with him.B.To help him realize his problem.C.To point out his rude behaviors.D.To offer advice on reducing pressure.3.How does the author support his ideas?A.By offering analyses.B.By providing research results.
C.By giving an example.D.By stating an argument.
4.What is mainly discussed in the passage?A.Means of laughter.B.Benefits of humor.C.The cause of sensitivity.D.The importance of health.
1.D 细节理解题。根据⽂中第⼆段第四句可知,如果他的歌唱⽼师建议他把⼀⾸歌再练习好⼏遍,直到唱对,他就会很崩溃,确信⽼师是在向他暗⽰他⼀⽆是处,在⾳乐上没有未来,所以他对别⼈对他说的话⾮常敏感,故选D项。
2.B 推理判断题。根据⽂中第三段前两句可知,他的⼼理学教授把他叫去,表⾯上是讨论论⽂,实际上是希望给这个男孩⼀个机会去把这个问题说开,故选B项。
