1.It can be inferred that Americans being approached too closely by Middle Easterners would most probably ______________.A)stand still B)jump aside C)step forward D)draw back 注:对应文章第二段
22.The author gives many examples to criticize Americans for their ___________.A)cultural self-centeredness B)casual manners C)indifference toward foreign visitors D)arrogance towards other cultures 注:对应文章第四段首句
23.In countries other than their own most Americans _______________.A)are isolated by the local people B)are not well informed due to the language barrier C)tend to get along well with the natives D)need interpreters in hotels and restaurants 注:对应文章第五段,inform对应information
24.According to the author, Americans' cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance will ____________.A)affect their image in the new era B)cut themselves off from the outside world C)limit their role in world affairs D)weaken the position of the US dollar 注:对应倒数第二段
25.The author's intention in writing this article is to make Americans realize that ________.A)it is dangerous to ignore their foreign friends B)it is important to maintain their leading role in world affairs C)it is necessary to use several languages in public places D)it is time to get acquainted with other cultures 注:B反了
Our culture has caused most Americans to assume not only that our language is universal but that the gestures we use are understood by everyone.We do not realize that waving good-bye is the way to summon a person from the Philippines to one's 在线学英语 体验请申请:
side, or that in Italy and some Latin-American countries, curling the finger to oneself is a sign of farewell.Those private citizens who sent packages to our troops occupying Germany after World War II and marked them GIFT to escape duty payments did not bother to find out that “Gift” means poison in German.Moreover, we like to think of ourselves as friendly, yet we prefer to be at least 3 feet or an arm's length away form others.Latins and Middle Easterners like to come closer and touch, which makes Americans uncomfortable.Our linguistic(语言上的)and cultural blindness and the casualness with which we take notice of the developed tastes, gestures, customs and languages of other countries, are losing us friends, business and respect in the world.Even here in the United States, we make few concessions to the needs of foreign visitors.There are no information signs in four languages on our public buildings or monuments;we do not have multilingual(多语的)guided tours.Very few restaurant menus have translations, and multilingual waiters, bank clerks and policemen are rare.Our transportation systems have maps in English only and often we ourselves have difficulty understanding them.When we go abroad, we tend to cluster in hotels and restaurants where English is spoken.The attitudes and information we pick up are conditioned by those natives-usually the richer-who speak English.Our business dealings, as well as the nation's diplomacy, are conducted through interpreters.For many years, America and Americans could get by with cultural blindness and linguistic ignorance.After all, America was the most powerful country of the free world, the distributor of needed funds and goods.But all that is past.American dollars no longer buy all good things, and we are slowly beginning to realize that our proper role in the world is changing.A 1979 Harris poll reported that 55 percent of Americans want this country to play a more significant role in world affairs;we want to have a hand in the important decisions of the next century, even though it may not always be the upper hand.26.What makes women blind to the deceptive nature of high heels? A)The multi-functional use of high heels.B)Their attempt to show off their status.C)The rich variety of high heel styles.D)Their wish to improve their appearance.注:B选项show off炫耀,C是迷惑选项。
27.The author's presentation of the positive side of high heels is meant ______________.A)to be ironic B)to poke fun at women C)to be fair to the fashion industry D)to make his point convincing 注:讽刺意味的
在线学英语 体验请申请:
28.The author uses the expression “those babies”(Line 3, Para.2)to refer to high heels __________.A)to show their fragile characteristics B)to indicate their feminine features C)to show women's affection for them D)to emphasize their small size
29.The author's chief argument against high heels is that ____________.A)they pose a threat to lawns B)they are injurious to women's health C)they don't necessarily make women beautiful D)they are ineffective as a weapon of defense
30.It can be inferred from the passage that women should _______________.A)see through the very nature of fashion myths B)boycott the products of the fashion industry C)go to a podiatrist regularly for advice D)avoid following fashion too closely
In department stores and closets all over the world, they are waiting.Their outward appearance seems rather appealing because they come in a variety of styles, textures, and colors.But they are ultimately the biggest deception that exists in the fashion industry today.What are they? They are high heels-a woman's worst enemy(whether she knows it or not).High heel shoes are the downfall of modern society.Fashion myths have led women to believe that they are more beautiful or sophisticated for wearing heels, but in reality, heels succeed in posing short as well as long term hardships.Women should fight the high heel industry by refusing to use or purchase them in order to save the world from unnecessary physical and psychological suffering.For the sake of fairness, it must be noted that there is a positive side to high heels.First, heels are excellent for aerating(使通气)lawns.Anyone who has ever worn heels on grass knows what I am talking about.A simple trip around the yard in a pair of those babies eliminates all need to call for a lawn care specialist, and provides the perfect-sized holes to give any lawn oxygen without all those messy chunks of dirt lying around.Second, heels are quite functional for defense against oncoming enemies, who can easily be scared away by threatening them with a pair of these sharp, deadly fashion accessories.Regardless of such practical uses for heels, the fact remains that wearing high heels is harmful to one's physical health.Talk to any podiatrist(足病医生), and you will hear that the majority of their business comes from high-heel-wearing women.High heels are known to cause problems such as deformed feet and torn toenails.The risk of severe back problems and twisted or broken ankles is three times higher for a high heel wearer than for a flat shoe wearer.Wearing heels also creates the threat of getting 在线学英语 体验请申请:
a heel caught in a sidewalk crack or a sewer-grate(阴沟栅)and being thrown to the ground-possibly breaking a nose, back, or neck.And of course, after wearing heels for a day, any woman knows she can look forward to a night of pain as she tries to comfort her swollen, aching feet.31.The picture of the reading ability of the American people, drawn by the author, is _____.A)rather bleak B)fairly bright C)very impressive D)quite encouraging 注:选一个烂的,bleak黯淡无光
32.The author's biggest concern is ____________.A)elementary school children's disinterest in reading classics B)the surprisingly low rate of literacy in the U.S.C)the musical setting American readers require for reading D)the reading ability and reading behavior of the middle class
33.A major problem with most adolescents who can read is ___________.A)their fondness of music and TV programs B)their ignorance of various forms of art and literature C)their lack of attentiveness and basic understanding D)their inability to focus on conflicting input
34.The author claims that the best way a reader can show admiration for a piece of poetry or prose is ____________.A)to be able to appreciate it and memorize it B)to analyze its essential features C)to think it over conscientiously D)to make a fair appraisal of its artistic value
35.About the future of the arts of reading the author feels ____________.A)upset B)uncertain C)alarmed D)pessimistic 注:对应最后一段
It is hardly necessary for me to cite all the evidence of the depressing state of literacy.These figures from the Department of Education are sufficient: 27 million Americans cannot read at all, and a further 35 million read at a level that is less than sufficient to survive in our society.But my own worry today is less that of the overwhelming problem of elemental literacy than it is of the slightly more luxurious problem of the decline in the skill 在线学英语 体验请申请:
even of he middle-class reader, of his unwillingness to afford those spaces of silence, those luxuries of domesticity and time and concentration, that surround the image of the classic act of reading.it has been suggested that almost 80 percent of America's literate, educated teenagers can no longer read without an accompanying noise(music)in the background or a television screen flickering(闪烁)at the corner of their field of perception.We know very little about the brain and how it deals with simultaneous conflicting input, but every common-sense intuition suggests we should be profoundly alarmed.This violation of concentration, silence, solitude(独处的状态)goes to the very heart of our notion of literacy;this new form of part-reading, of part-perception against background distraction, renders impossible certain essential acts of apprehension and concentration, let alone that most important tribute any human being can pay to a poem or a piece of prose he or she really loves, which is to learn it by heart.Not by brain, by heart;the expression is vital.Under these circumstances, the question of what future there is for the arts of reading is a real one.Ahead of us lie technical, psychic(心理的), and social transformations probably much more dramatic than those brought about by Gutenberg, the German inventor in printing.The Gutenberg revolution, as we now know it, took a long time;its effects are still begin debated.The information revolution will touch every facet of composition, publication, distribution, and reading.No one in the book industry can say with any confidence what will happen to the book as we've known it.36.According to the passage, the chief purpose of explorers in going to unknown places in the past was ______________.A)to display their country's military might B)to accomplish some significant science C)to find new areas for colonization D)to pursue commercial and state interests 注:对应文章第一段
37.At present, a probable inducement for countries to initiate large-scale space ventures is _____________.A)international cooperation B)nationalistic reasons C)scientific research D)long-term profits 注:对应文章第三段,B和D相反都排除
38.What is the main goal of sending human missions to Mars? A)To find out if life ever existed there.B)To see if humans could survive there.C)To prove the feasibility of large-scale space ventures.D)To show the leading role of science in space exploration.39.By saying “With Mars the scientific stakes are arguably higher than they have ever been”(Line 1, Para.4), the author means that _________________.在线学英语 体验请申请:
A)with Mars the risks involved are much greater than any previous space ventures B)in the case of Mars, the rewards of scientific exploration can be very high C)in the case of Mars, much more research funds are needed than ever before D)with Mars, scientists argue, the fundamental interests of science are at issue 注:争议太多,对应末段
40.The passage tells us that proof of life on Mars would _______________.A)make clear the complex chemistry in the development of life B)confirm the suggestion that bacterial fossils traveled to Earth on a meteorite C)reveal the kind of conditions under which lie originates D)provide an explanation why life is common in the universe
For centuries, explorers have risked their lives venturing into the unknown for reasons that were to varying degrees economic and nationalistic.Columbus went west to look for better trade routes to the Orient and to promote the greater glory of Spain.Lewis and Clark journeyed into the American wilderness to find out what the U.S.had acquired when it purchased Louisiana, and the Appolo astronauts rocketed to the moon in a dramatic show of technological muscle during the cold war.Although their missions blended commercial and political-military imperatives, the explorers involved all accomplished some significant science simply by going where no scientists had gone before.Today Mars looms(隐约出现)as humanity's next great terra incognita(未探明之地).And with doubtful prospects for a short-term financial return, with the cold war a rapidly fading memory and amid a growing emphasis on international cooperation in large space ventures, it is clear that imperatives other than profits or nationalism will have to compel human beings to leave their tracks on the planet's reddish surface.Could it be that science, which has long played a minor role in exploration, is at last destined to take a leading role? The question naturally invites a couple of others: Are there experiments that only humans could do on Mars? Could those experiments provide insights profound enough to justify the expense of sending people across interplanetary space? With Mars the scientific stakes are arguably higher than they have ever been.The issue of whether life ever existed on the planet, and whether it persists to this day, has been highlighted by mounting evidence that the Red Planet once had abundant stable, liquid water and by the continuing controversy over suggestions that bacterial fossils rode to Earth on a meteorite(陨石)from valuable data about the range of conditions under which a planet can generate the complex chemistry that leads to life.If it could be established that life arose independently on Mars and Earth, the finding would provide the first concrete clues in one of the deepest mysteries in all of science: the prevalence of life in the universe.“成千上万人疯狂下载。。。

第二篇:大学英语六级改错解题步骤及其口诀
免费?宅在家学英语?怎么报名?

改错是近几年英语六级一种较为固定的考查形式,也是一些考生得分较低、区分度较高的一种题型。对于英语基础知识扎实、成绩优秀的考生来讲,解答此题型可能比较得心应手,而对于英语成绩一般的考生,此题型又可能会使他们望而生畏。在今天很多大学生都希望拿到六级证书以便在今后找工作中更有利,因此考生对此题型也比较重视。下面对短文改错的一些命题特点进行简要分析:
一、短文改错文章选题特点
改错题题型反映了综合型考试由客观题型主导向主观题型主导的必然转换。众所周知,选择题的运气成分约为25%,判断题的运气成分约占50%,而主观题是没有多少运气成分的,除非考生考前正好复习了这个题或准备了这个作文。这种情况的概率不会超过考生人数的5%。改错题是语言运用能力的集中表现,往往不会被押题人命中。该题型既考查词汇、语法、语义,也考查学生的逻辑判断能力。
通过观察近几年短文改错的选材特点看,材料内容贴近考生的实际生活,谈论的都是跟学生的学习和生活有关的话题,多以书信和日记的形式出现,文字浅显易懂,材料中没有生僻、超纲的词汇,句子结构简单,基本上是简单句和并不复杂的复合句。
二、命题特点
为了提高考生的判别效率,该题明示了每个错误出现的地方(某一句话),这样在十多个单词中考生比较容易找出错误。近几年的大学英语六级考试的改错范围包括:换一个正确或适当词,增加一个适当词,删去一个多余词。换词时先划掉句中的错误词,再把正确词填在句子后的留空处。加词时考生在应添加处用∧符号表明,并将应添加的词列于句子后的留空处。该句子如有多余词要把它删去,答题方式是先在原句中划掉多余词,再把删字符(/)写在句子后的留空处。
考查的重点主要集中在以下几个方面:1.名词的使用错误; 2.冠词的使用错误;3.时态的误用;4.形容词、副词及其比较级、最高级的误用;5.介词的误用;6.代词的误用;7.词语搭配错误;8.词性使用错误。
三、解题步骤
1、浏览全文,掌握大意
要求考生把握全篇主旨,弄清上下文的逻辑关系。有时孤立地分析某个句子,其结构正确、语意通顺,但如联系上下文,便会发现该句中有不合逻辑的地方。阅读时,如有较明显的错误,可随手改正。
2、分句阅读,逐行找错
在读懂文章之后,要逐句分开。分析在词法、句法、行文逻辑等方面是否有错。要做到逐行分析,不可遗漏,句与句之间要注意连词的使用。短文改错口诀:
短文改错要做好,常见类型应记牢。
名词爱考“数”与“格”,冠词在前“错”、“多”、“少”。
动词时态和语态,非谓搭配莫错了。
免费?宅在家学英语?怎么报名?
连、代、形、副错一样,多是故意来混淆。
介词多半考搭配,多、漏、误用想周到。
句法涉及到“一致”,从句多考关系词。
词法句法均未错,逻辑推理去寻找。
3、由易到难,各个击破
纠错要从最简单、最熟悉的项目入手, 先从语法的角度入手, 再从逻辑方面考虑, 最后推敲难题。
4、检查核对,注意方法
再浏览改后的全文,看全篇是否语意通顺,注意无错行一般是一行。要按照绝对规范的要求去答题。
四、短文改错应注意的几个方面
1、注意整篇文章的语态与时态前后是否一致。
2、名词的数与格,名词前该不该用冠词,用什么冠词。
3、习语结构搭配是否完整,有无缺少或多了介词、副词的现象。
4、非谓语动词(不定式、分词、动名词)的运用是否正确。
5、连词与关系代(副)词的用法是否贴切。名词性从句、定语从句、状语从句等的结构与用法。
6、代词的用法与结构是否正确。人称代词、物主代词以及it作形式主语或形式宾语等的用法。
7、形容词、副词的比较级、最高级是否混用

3.我认为……
The volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people in recent years, especially among young people.Volunteering is of tremendous benefits to both those in need and society Take the Wenchuan Earthquake as an example.Hundreds of thousands of volunteers play an active role in Wenchuan quake-hit areas.And they contribute daily necessaries, offer medical help and psychological help to the disaster-relief work.Besides, volunteering would be beneficial to the volunteers themselves.Getting involved in
volunteering, volunteers will be exposed to a new environment, and they can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve their interpersonal skills and organizational skills, all of which are critical for their professional growth.As a college student, I sincerely hope that everyone would join the volunteering work.It is not only good to our society, but also a chance for us to grow and to learn.1.大学毕业生在就业时有许多考虑的因素,如待遇、专业、工作地点…¨
2.对该优先考虑的因素持有不同的意见
3.我的看法
On Job-hunting Priorities
When a graduate hunts for a job, he has to take the priority issue of a few significant factors into consideration, such as the pay, the specific field, and the location.Graduates give priority to different elements.Some graduates think the pay should take the first place, since they have been spending the money of the family all the time, and it’s time to do something as the reward to other family members.Besides, a high pay usually means a relatively high position in the company.Some would their major as the No.1 element, or it would be a big waste of what they have learned in college.Meanwhile, the major chosen for college most of the time reflects their interest and preference.Still others offer the pride of place to the location of the job.They believe big cities like Beijing or Shanghai will provide more opportunities, or a place close to hometown will furnish more convenience between the graduate and his family since most families now have one child only.As to me ,the ideal is the three elements combined together.But when I have to take a choice, l would pick up the best choice close to my family since “ East, west, home is the best”
1.参加高考的人数有所下降
2.有人认为职业教育更为重要
3.你的看法
Vocational education or college education ?
The number of people who take the college entrance examination has been decreasing these years.Some people consider vocational education an advantage to job-hunting, while others argue that a college diploma is more important.ln my opinion, college education is more advisable or most people.[4lFirst, college education is systematic and students can learn a lot in many aspects.Unlike vocational, which always focuses on
just one job skill, college education enables students to develop different po-tentials.15lSecond, to obtain a higher degree, such as a master’s degree, one has to go through college education to a bachelor’s degree first.In a society where any job skill may become outdate-ed quickly with the appearance of new technologies, the limitations of vocational education prove even more serious.Only college education can prepare us for future challenges.慰问信参考语料:
Dear meimei,I have learned that your GRE score you got this time is not high enough to support your applying for the oversea study in the U.S..I am sorry to hear that.I think there are some reasons that result in this failure.First, I am informed that you were sick on the day of exam, which might badly affect your test.Second, arriving at the examination room a little bit late causes that you had 15 minutes less than other examinees andcould not finish the whole paper.Third, being sick and being late for the exam, you were in such a bad mood that you could not be concentrative enough to handle your exam, I argue.When you are going to take the next exam, don’t stay up too late to study.Sleeping enough is vital for you to keep an ideal state, with which you can pass your exam easily.What’s more, don’t be too frustrated;You should never give up since it’s your dream to do further study in the U.S..and then come back to do more contribution to our nation.Yours,LiMing老外学中文参考语料
As the fastest growing market in the world, China is a welcomed economic partner to other countries.These countries encourage their people to learn Chineseso that they can cooperate well with China in many aspects.Second, many foreigners learn Chinese voluntarily in order to know more about China.To these people, China is such an oriental myth that they can’t help researching into.In order to know more about China, they study Chinese and come to live in China.Some of them even decide to stay in China all their lives.正反观点对立型的语料,大家认真看:
Nowadays, it has become a common in colleges for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students.In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching performance.People, however, have formed a different picture of it.Some are in favor of the rating system, arguingstudents should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness.Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it.They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms.Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject.These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance.Instead of rating the teachers’
knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject.Public morals
Nowadays, many young people focus on leading their own happy and content lives, ignoring what happens to the society and people’s livelihood.Some people think that it’s ok for ordinary people, while others don’t agree.In my opinion, we should be aware of the importance of social responsibility.What happens to the society and people’s livelihood actually affects our lives a lot.For example, when a serious earthquake happens in an area, people living in this area are all affected.They need a lot of help from the government and other people.If we{5Jturn a blind eye to these people’s livelihood, turn a blind eye to these people’s livelihood, thinking that it has nothing to do with our happy lives, these stricken people will have to flee their hometown and go to other cities, and eventually cause instability in our country and affect everyone’s life.Since we are social beings, what happens in our society will certainly affect our lives.Therefore;we should take our social responsibilities.
第四篇:阅读理解题
血的故事 林海音
南腔北调的夏夜乘凉会,一直聊到月上中天,还没有散去的意思。
大家被彭先生的故事迷住了。
彭先生是张医师的朋友。张医师最近常鼓励大家去验血型。大家都没有动过大手术,对于血的一切不够亲切。
今晚又谈到了血型。这位彭先生说,作为现代的国民,血型不可不验,而且它或许还有意想不到的妙用呢!
这时,钱太太开腔了:“干脆说罢,我就怕验出是AB型的!”
钱太太所以这么说,实在也怪张医师,他曾说AB型是不祥之兆。
“我丈母娘就是AB型的。”这时,彭先生忽然冒出来这么一句话。钱太太“咯”地笑了:“还管丈母娘的血型呢!”
张医师紧接着说:“提到彭先生的丈母娘,你们别笑,这里还有段恋爱悲喜剧呢!倒是可以请彭先生讲给你们听。”
“谈起来,是五年前的事了,”彭先生躺在藤椅上,仰着头,喷着烟,微笑着,他倒真是在做甜蜜的回忆呢!“那时秀鸾在秘书室做打字员,天天从我办公桌的窗前经过。”
“你就拿眼盯着看!”有人插嘴。
“不错,我盯着她那会说话的眼睛,淘气的鼻子,甜蜜的小嘴儿„„”
“结果认识了没有?”
“我们当然有机会认识啦!日子一久,我们就坠入情网了,互订终身。热带的小姐,实在另有她们可爱之处。”
“台湾小姐?”到这时大家才知道是位台湾小姐。
“糟糕的就在秀鸾是台湾小姐。”彭先生接着说。
“我知道,一定是聘金的问题。”有人说。
彭先生悠然地吸着烟,摇摇头:“是我那位老丈人的问题!”
“我那老丈人真是铁打的心肠,任凭秀鸾怎么哀求,就是不许她嫁给我。”
“他认准了‘外省郎’没好的。秀鸾跟她爸说,如果不答应,她宁可去死。老头子也说,你要嫁给那小子,我只当你死了。结果,秀鸾还是投进了我的怀抱。”
“但是关于你丈母娘的AB型呢?”这时钱太太又想起了这件事。
大家笑起来了,彭先生接着讲:
“我是很乐观的,我总以为我们结婚以后,一定会把我们翁婿之间的关系慢慢调整过来。可是一年下来,我的愿望始终就没实现,有时看着秀鸾挺着大肚子进去,就让我风里雨里站在门口,我真想冲进去。可是我心疼秀鸾,到底还是忍住了。”
“真惨!”林太太不胜唏嘘。
“倒是我那丈母娘会偷偷出来塞给我点心什么的。”
“有一天我独个儿上了老丈人家的门儿喽!”
“好大胆子!”有位先生插嘴。
“你以为我上门找打架哪,我是报告秀鸾入院待产的消息去了。大胖儿子生下了,算是又见了一代,可是我们的情形并未见好转,老丈人在他女儿面前连半个字都没问过我。”
“迭格【注】老泰山凶得来!”
“硬是要不得!”
“有一天,”这段回忆大概很有趣,彭先生自己也未语先笑了,“秀鸾匆匆忙忙回来了,慌慌张张地说:‘爸爸病了!’‘什么病呀?’‘肠子!肠子要剪断!快走。!唉!我那铁石心肠的老丈人呀!也有一天柔肠寸断了!”
大家听到这里哄然大笑。林太太说:“彭先生,你解恨了,是不是?”
“不敢!”彭先生虽然这么说,可是仍然可以看出他的轻松。“秀鸾说爸爸需要输血,但秀鸾是A型,小舅子是B型,丈母娘是AB型……”
“他们都不能给病人输血,买血要五百块钱100CC,共需300CC一千五,秀鸾母女在着急。我对秀鸾说:‘这样说来,你爸爸是O血型的喽?’秀鸾点点头。我说:‘你何必着急呢!现成的大血人在这儿哪!我也是O型的呀!’
“第二天,我那干巴巴的老丈人,一把拉住我的手,‘你金家伙!你金家伙,’……” “你金家伙?是日本话,还是骂人的话?”
“‘你金家伙’,台湾话‘你真正好’也!我们爷儿俩的手紧紧地握着,两股热血交流,一切嫌隙都被血般的事实给溶化了!”彭先生说到这里,向张医师挤了一下眼,微笑着,“所以,我要奉劝诸位,血型不可不验,它实在有意想不到的妙用!”

面包
沃尔夫冈·博歇尔特
她突然醒来。两点半。她寻思,为什么会突然醒了。哦,原来是这样!厨房里有人碰了一下椅子。她仔细地听着厨房里的声音。寂静无声。太安静了,她用手摸了一下身边的床,发现是空的。这就是为什么如此特别安静的原因了——没有他的呼吸声。她起床,摸索着经过漆黑的房间来到厨房。在厨房两人相遇了。表针指着两点半。她看到橱柜边上有个白的东西。她打开灯。两人各穿衬衣相对而立。深夜。两点半。在厨房里。
在厨房餐桌上是一个盛面包的盘子。她知道,他切过了面包。小刀还放在盘子旁边。桌布上留下了面包屑。每晚他们就寝时,她总把桌布弄干净的。每天晚上如此。然而现在桌布上有面包屑,而且小刀还在那里。她感到地上的凉气慢慢地传到她身上。她转过头来不再看盘子了。
①“我还以为这里出什么事了。”他说,并环视一下厨房四周。
“我也听到了什么。”她回答,这时她发现,他夜晚穿着衬衣看起来这是老了。跟他年龄一样老了,六十三岁。白天他看起来还年轻些。他看起来已经老了,他在想,穿着衬衣的她看起来相当老了。不过也许是头发的原因。夜里女人显老总是表现在头发上。头发使人一下变老了。
“你应该穿上鞋子的。这样光着脚在冷地上你会着凉的。”
她没有注视他,因为她不愿意忍受他在撒谎。他们结婚三十九年之后他现在撒谎了。②“我原以为这里有什么事。”他又说了一遍,又推动了自制,把视线从一个角落移到另一个角落。
“我也听到了什么。于是我想,这里出了什么事了。” “我也听见了。不过,大概什么事也没有。” 她从桌上拿起盘子,并用手指弹去桌布上的面包屑。“没有。大概没什么事。”听到他不安地在说。她赶紧帮他说:“过来,大概是外面有什么事。” “走,睡觉去。站在冷地上你会着凉的。”
他向窗户望去。“是的,一定是外面出了点什么事。我还以为是在这里。”
她把手伸向电灯开关。我必须现在就关灯,否则我必定还会去瞧盘子的,她想。我不能再去瞧那个盘子。“过来,”她说,同时把灯关灭。“这大概是外面有什么事,刮风时檐槽常常碰墙壁。这肯定是檐槽之故。刮风时它总是哗哗乱响。”
两个摸着走过黑黢黢的过道来到卧室。两双光脚在地板上拍击作响。
“是有风,”他说,“已经刮了一整夜了。”当她睡在床上时,她说“是的,刮了一夜的风。刚才大概就是檐槽在响。”
“是呀,我刚才还以为是在厨房里。大概就是檐槽吧。”他说着话,仿佛已沉入半睡中。她注意到,当他撒谎时,声音多假。
“真冷,”她说,并轻声地打着哈欠。“我可钻被窝了,晚安。” “晚安。”他回答,又说了一句,“是呀,可真冷啊。”
随后就是寂静无声。许多分钟后她听到,他在小心、轻声咀嚼。她故意深沉又均匀地呼吸,使他不致发觉,她尚未入睡。然而他的咀嚼节奏均匀,倒使她慢慢进入了梦乡了。
当他第二天晚上回家时,她分给他四片面包;平时他只有三片。
“你可以慢慢吃,吃四片。”她说着离开了餐桌。“我吃这面包消化不了。你多吃一片吧。我消化不好。”
她注意到,③他把头深深埋在盘子上。他没有摔跟头。就在此刻她对他非常同情。“你可不能只吃两片面包。”他对着盘子在说。“够了。晚上我吃面包消化不好。你多吃吧,吃吧!” 过了一会儿,她才又坐在桌旁的灯下。

严冬海猎 陈秉汗
①风静了,天空像硕大无朋的冰块银晃晃闪着寒光。沿海的海面弥漫着乳白色的雾气。海肚天脚一片胭红。怕冷的夕阳像喝醉了酒,醉醺醺地没入暮霭中。这是霜冻的征兆。几十年未遇的寒流袭来,往日闹市般的海湾冷冷清清。
“海龙——”海滩那边传来渺远的呼唤声。
“哎——”礁石上赤条条地爬上一个十四五岁的少年。他迅速穿上一件赤褐色的渔民衣服。衣服又宽又长,过了膝盖,袖口也卷了几卷,分明是他爸爸穿过的。
一年四季,海龙喜欢在这里洗澡、潜水,即使这样的鬼天气也不例外。现在正是尖头鱼最肥最值钱的季节,海龙的爸爸有一种祖传捕鱼绝招,越是天寒地冻效果越好;深夜走到沙滩,仰头喝下一瓶酒,脱下衣服,跳进海里。尖头鱼便迎着热气游过来……可是爸爸出海妈妈就心跳。所以爸爸不让海龙学这种原始的捕鱼法。但海龙觉得有趣,几次要跟着下海,被爸爸骂回来。最近爸爸连续几个晚上下海捕鱼,风寒侵入肌体,生起病来,家里仅有的一点钱在药煲里化作一缕缕轻烟。欠下一屁股债。年关在即,爸爸躺在床上发愁。
听到妈妈的喊声,海龙跳下礁石,赤着脚板,沿着沙滩走回来。
一家人正围着低矮的桌子吃晚饭。爸爸舀了一碗粥汤,弓着腰,埋头就着番薯连皮带根艰难地咀嚼吞咽,不时停下来咳嗽。有时咳嗽得喘不过气来,妹妹便给他捶捶腰背。
海风穿过破屋石缝,像吹箫一样呜呜响。爸爸头也不抬地说:“阿龙,天气这么冷,你
别去耍海水了,弄出病来怎么办!”
“浸浸海水少生病,邻居老叔说的。”海龙抓了一个番薯端着碗到屋外吃,看看海边的天色变化。
天黑下来,爸爸咳嗽着躺下,妈妈和妹妹也上床睡觉了。海龙装作睡着的样子,爸爸的咳嗽声和呻吟声渐渐静了,才蹑手蹑角溜下床,溜到门外。
大海一片漆黑。墨兰的苍穹缀满星星,洒下淡淡的星光。海滩像一片蒙蒙轻雾。海龙全副武装,用尖担挑着鱼篓、干柴困,快步向海滩走去。她那稚嫩的脸蛋此刻十分凝重暗淡,和夜色融成一体。他不会喝酒,掏出两个还有些烫手的番薯,拍掉草木灰。连皮吞进肚里。他把尖担插在湖水线上,爬上礁屿,解开柴困,划了几根火柴。柴枝熊熊燃烧起来,照的海面红光闪烁。他脱下衣服,迅速留下海里。深夜是海水不同白天,像冰一样。海龙感受到裂肌贬骨的寒冷。他没有反悔,没有退缩——爸爸忍受得了,自己为什么忍受不了。他咬咬牙,挥动双臂,捞水擦擦身体。敏感的尖头鱼已经感受到一团热气,它们笨拙地迎着热气游过来。海龙激动得心怦怦跳,忘记了寒冷,牙齿叼着鱼篓,双手左右开弓,左一条右一条,像捞漂浮在水里的萝卜,一一把它们丢进篓里。
海潮不断上涨。海龙随海水不断上浮,到插尖担的地方,鱼篓满了。要是爸爸便立即上岸小跑回家,钻进孩子们用体温焐热的被窝……不!此刻礁屿附近的尖头鱼还很多,他太舍不得离开了。可是鱼篓满了,没地方放呀!他爬上礁石,添了柴火,拿过裤子,用石头把裤带砸成两段,一段把裤角扎牢,把娄里的鱼倒进去,再用另一段扎了口,海龙带着鱼篓又一次溜下海里,身子接触到密密麻麻的尖头鱼,他激动的热血沸腾,忘记了寒冷,忘记了饥饿,忘记了困乏,抓鱼的动作越来越快……他干狂了,干傻了,恨不得把海里的尖头鱼都抓进自己的鱼篓里。
后半夜,爸爸醒来发现海龙不见了,赶紧和妈妈向海滩寻来,一脚深一脚浅,跌跌撞撞呼唤着儿子的名字。妈妈一个踉跄,脚下好像绊着什么,软绵绵的,只见海龙光着屁股,倒在地上,旁边的胆子一头是鱼篓一头是用裤子改装的袋子,都盛满银晃晃的尖头鱼。妈妈搀扶着海龙,爸爸挑起担子,一步一步走回家里。
海龙清醒过来,喝下一碗热水,钻进妈妈妹妹的暖被窝。冰冷的身子接触到妹妹,妹妹惊醒了,“哇”的一声大哭起来。妈妈说:“哥哥捡回来好多好多的鱼哩。”妹妹揉揉惺忪睡眼,见地上许多尖头鱼,不禁破涕为笑。刺骨的寒风发出尖厉的哨音,穿过小屋的石缝溜走了,②黎明前的大海静了,静的像守着摇篮的母亲……

This may come as a surprise, but you need stress in your life.Leading stress management experts say that life without stress would be dull and unexciting.Stress adds flavor, challenge, and opportunity to life.However, too much stress can seriously affect your physical and mental well-being.A major challenge in today's stress-filled world is to make the stress in your life work for you instead of against you.In today's hectic, fast-paced world and with the booming economy, stress is our constant companion.It comes from mental or emotional activity and physical activity.Too much emotional stress can result in physical illness, such as high blood pressure, ulcers, asthma, irritable colon, headaches, or even heart disease.On the other hand, physical stress from work or exercise rarely causes such ailments.In fact, physical exercise can help you to relax and to handle your mental or emotional stress.Hans Selye, M.D., a recognized expert in the field, has defined stress as a “nonspecific response of the body to a demand”.The key to reducing stress is learning how our bodies respond to those demands.When stress becomes prolonged or particularly frustrating, it can become harmful-causing distress or “bad stress”.Recognizing the early signs of distress and then doing something about them can make a significant difference in the quality of your life.YouTheme
In order to use stress in a positive way and prevent it from becoming distress, you should be aware of your own reactions to stressful events.The body responds to stress by going through specific stages:(1)alarm,(2)resistance, and(3)exhaustion.Muscles tense, blood pressure and heart rate rise, and adrenaline and other stress-triggered hormones that increase the level of alertness are released.If the stress-causing conditions continue, your body will need time to make repairs, if that happens, you eventually may develop a physical problem that is related to stress, such as migraine headaches, high blood pressure, backaches, or insomnia.That's why when stress occurs it's important that you recognize and deal with it in a positive way.While it's impossible to live completely free of stress and distress, it is possible to prevent some distress as well as to minimize its impact when it can't be avoided.The U.S.Department of Health and Human Services offers the following suggestions for ways to handle stress.Try Physical Activity
When you're nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity.Running, walking, playing tennis, or working in your garden are 在线学英语 体验请申请:
just some of the activities you might try.Physical exercise will relieve your anxiety and worry and help you relax.Your body and your mind will work together to ease the stress in your life.Share Your Stress
It helps to talk with someone about your anxieties and worries.Perhaps a friend, family member, teacher, or counselor can help you achieve a more positive perspective on what's troubling you.If you feel your problem is serious, you might seek professional help from a psychologist, psychiatrist or social worker.Knowing when to ask for help is a positive step in avoiding more serious problems later.Take Care of Yourself
You should make every effort to eat well and to get enough rest.If you're irritable and tense from lack of sleep, or if you're not eating properly, you'll be more vulnerable to stressful situations.If stress repeatedly keeps you from sleeping, you should consult your doctor.Make Time for Yourself Schedule time for both work and recreation.Don't forget, play can be just as important to your overall well-being as work.You need a break from your daily routine to just relax and have fun.Go window-shopping or work on a hobby.Allow yourself at least a half hour each day to do something you enjoy.Make a List of the Things You Need to Do
Stress can result from disorganization and a feeling that “there's so much to do, and not enough time”.Trying to take care of everything at once can be overwhelming, and as a result, you may not accomplish anything.Instead, make a list of everything you have to do, then do one thing at a time, checking off each task as it is completed.Give priority to the most important tasks and do those first.Go Ahead and Cry
A good cry can be a healthy way to bring relief to your anxiety.It might even help yon avoid a headache or other physical consequence of anxiety and stress.Create a Quiet Scene
Yon can't always run away, but you can allow yourself a mental “get-away”.A quiet country scene painted mentally, or on canvas, can transport you from the tension of a stressful situation to a more relaxing frame of mind.You also can create a sense of peace and tranquility by reading a good book or listening to beautiful music.Avoid Self-Medication
While yon can use prescription or over-the-counter medications to relieve stress temporarily, they do not remove the conditions that caused the stress in the first place.In fact, many medications may be habit-forming and also may reduce your efficiency, thus creating more stress than they eliminate.They should be taken only on the advice of your doctor.考试论坛
Relax
The best strategy for reducing or avoiding stress altogether is to learn how to relax.Unfortunately, many people try to relax at the same pace that they lead the rest of their lives.That doesn't work.Instead, try tuning out your worries about time, productivity and “doing right”.Here are several relaxation techniques you may find 在线学英语 体验请申请:
helpful:
-You should take a deep breath and exhale to help calm your mind, counter your body's natural stress reaction and improve your response.-You should laugh.Many stress management experts advocate laughter as a relaxation technique for relieving tension.-You should take a warm bath or shower.Whether you prefer bubble baths or long hot showers, this is an excellent way to relax after a stressful day.-You should try progressive muscle relaxation.Individual contract and relax each muscle group of your body.Begin by tensing your toes for 10 seconds, then relax them for 20.Work all the way up your body, alternately tensing and relaxing, and finish with your facial muscles.By learning the “art” of relaxation, you'll find satisfaction in just “being”, without trying or striving.Your focus on relaxation, enjoyment and health will reduce stress, anxiety and worry in your life.The result is, you will be calmer, healthier and happier.注意:此部分试题在答题卡1上作答。
