Unit 3 Looking good，feeling good一、閱讀理解。There are two types of people in the world.Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other forts of life,one bees happy and the other bees unhappy.This arises from the different ways in which they consider things,persons,events and the resulting effects upon their minds. People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation,the well prepared dishes,the goodness of the wine and the fine weather.They enjoy all the cheerful things.Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.Therefore,they are continually dissatisfied.By their remarks,they sour the pleasure of society,offend(hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere.If this turn of mind was founded in nature,such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied.The intention of criticizing(批評(píng)) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿).It grows into a habit,unknown to its possessors.The habit may be strong,but it may be cured when those who have realized its bad effects on their interests and tastes.I hope this little warning may be of service to them,and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination,it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck.Those people offend many others; nobody loves them,and no one treats them with more than the most mon politeness and respect.This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments.If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune,nobody wishes them success.Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes.If they bring on themselves public objections,no one will defend or excuse them,and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings.These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing,without worrying needlessly about themselves and others.If they do not,it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接觸) with them.Otherwise,it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient,especially when one bees mixed up in their quarrels.1.People who are unhappy_.A.always consider things differently from othersB.usually are affected by the results of certain thingsC.usually misunderstand what others think or sayD.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things2.The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” means “_ ”.A.have a good taste with social lifeB.make others unhappyC.tend to scold others openlyD.enjoy the pleasure of life3.In this passage,the writer mainly_.A.describes two types of peopleB.laughs at the unhappy peopleC.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habits of unhappinessD.tells people how to be happy in life參考答案： 1.D; 2.B; 3.C解析： 生活中有些人擁有相同的健康、財(cái)富和生活條件,但由于考慮事情、人物、事件的角度不同,一些人感到幸福,而另一些人則感到不幸福。由于這些不幸福的人處處冒犯別人,其結(jié)果只能是處于被孤立的境地。1.D 推理判斷題。從第二段第三句話“Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things.”可以看出另一些人感到不幸福的原因。2.B 詞義猜測(cè)題。從該短語后的“.offend (hurt) many people,and make themselves disagreeable everywhere”可以猜出 “sour the pleasure of society” 的正確含義。3.C 主旨大意題。本文主要講的是那些感到不幸福的人處處冒犯別人,若長(zhǎng)此以往,則只能處于被孤立的境地,所以他們應(yīng)改變自己的習(xí)慣。二、單項(xiàng)選擇1.To our disappointment, the school principal _ his nephew in the list of candidates who are offered an opportunity to study in Singapore.

It seemed as if it needed 1, but little did I know it would help me too. During my first visit I helped to polish some female residents2. One woman asked me many questions. After she was satisfied with my 3, she started to share some of her hidden 4. By listening to her, I realized I had actually helped her: she looked relieved, 5 of some of her past pains. When she was finished, she told me something that 6 me to visit the nursing home every week. She said, “Youre the 7 person I was able to tell this to. The other ladies are too busy to listen to me, and the other 8 dont care. Youll e back next week, right? ” After 9 blowing on her newly coated nails, I smiled and 10, “Yes, Ill see you next Friday. ”That day, I was gladdened by the 11 that I had helped somebody. I realized an action as simple as 12 became something much more. During every second I spent there, I realized how much of a difference my 13 could have on the lives of others, and I also found energy in a place not 14 known for it. But the most 15 aspect of living there is that it breaks the human 16 between those in todays society and the nursing home residents. Every moment I spend chatting is an opportunity to 17 that connection again, to unwrap their troubles, and to shape someones life. In 18, that moment also shapes me. I not only learn about life and experiences outside of school, but also receive the 19 of being part of this processthis connection between humans. Those 20 of sharing and listening are magical for both the giver and the receiver. 【文章大意】本文是一篇記敘文, 介紹作者在療養(yǎng)院服務(wù)期間的感悟和認(rèn)識(shí)。明白一個(gè)道理: 傾聽和分享是一件使接受者和給予者都高興的事。1.

One reason for this is biological.One important biological factor that helps women live longer is the difference in hormones between men and women. 2 Between the ages of about 12 and 50, women produce hormones that are involved in fertility(生育能力). These hormones also have a positive effect on the heart and blood flow. In fact, women are less likely to have high blood pressure or to die from heart attacks. 3 They help the body defend itself against some kinds of infections. This means that women generally ger sick less often and less seriously than men. The mon cold is a good example: women, on average, get fewer colds than men. 4 Scientists are still not exactly sure how influence aging, but they believe that they do.
