Two of the saddest words in the English language are “if only”. I live my life with the goal of never having to say those words, because they express regret, lost chances, mistakes, and disappointment. My father is famous in our family for saying, “Take another minute to do it right.” I always try to live by the “another minute” rule. When my children were young and likely to cause accidents, I always thought about what I could do to avoid an “if only” moment, whether it was something small like moving a cup full of hot coffee away from the edge of a table, or something that required a little more work such as taping padding (粘贴衬垫) onto the sharp corners of a glass coffee table. I don’t only avoid those “if only” moments when it comes to safety. It’s equally important to avoid “if only” in our personal relationships. We all know people who lost a loved one and regretted that they had foregone a chance to say “I love you” or “I forgive (原谅) you.” When my father announced he was going to the eye doctor across from my office on Good Friday, I told him that it was a holiday for my company and I wouldn’t be here. But then I thought about the fact that he’s 84 years old and I realized that I shouldn’t give up a chance to see him. I called him and told him I had decided to go to work on my day off after all. I know there will still be times when I have to say “if only” about something, but my life is certainly better because of my rule of doing everything possible to avoid that possibility. And even though it takes another minute to do something right, or it sometimes takes an hour or two in my busy timetable to make a personal connection, I know that I’m doing the right thing. I’m buying myself peace of mind and that’s the best kind of insurance for avoiding saying “if only”. 【1】Why does the writer regard “if only” as two of the saddest words in the English language? A.Because people use them when they feel sad. B.Because they mean sadness in the English language. C.Because they mean regrets and disappointment in life. D.Because they make the writer think of some sad experiences. 【2】What’s the meaning of the underlined word “foregone” in Paragraph 3? A.given up. B.looked for. C.waited for. D.made use of. 【3】The author decided to go to her office on Good Friday to . A.see a doctor B.finish her work C.join a celebration D.create a chance to see her father 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.Advice from My Father B.The “Another Minute” Rule C.Avoidance of saying “If Only” D.The Saddest Words in English |

There are many ways to travel within a city. We can walk, cycle, or take a bus. But no matter which way we travel, we have to stick to the route(线路) the city planners laid down for us. Parkour practitioners (跑酷爱好者), however, see the city in a completely different way. To them, there are no fixed routes. There are no walls and no stairs—since they jump, climb, roll and crawl to move across, through, over and under anything that they find in their path. The city is their playground. The International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) has noticed that this activity is drawing more and more people to it—there are 100,000 people taking part in parkour today in the UK alone, according to the Guardian—and how it is helpful for people to be much stronger: It trains coordination and balance. So the organization is thinking about recognizing parkour as a new sport and adding it to the Olympics by 2024. But parkour practitioners themselves don’t seem to be happy with the idea. They see parkour as “a lifestyle”, wrote the website NextSportStar. “It’s a competition against the conditions rather than just a sport.” Indeed, many do parkour just to “escape the daily routine and experience the city in different ways”, wrote reporter Oli Mould on The Conversation. They see parkour as a way to express themselves through relaxing moves and creative routes while freeing themselves from the pressure. It’s great that the FIG wants to develop new sport and stay close to a new cultural form. But it would be greater if they knew that not everything in life is a competition. 【1】How do the parkour practitioners do parkour? A.They move on as they wish. B.They plan the way themselves. C.They run faster than others. D.They stick to certain routes. 【2】Why does the FIG want to add parkour to the Olympics? A.It’s a special way of life. B.It draws their attention. C.It’s good for people to keep healthy. D.It needs some rules and instructions. 【3】What is the author’s idea on parkour? A.It is more formal than other sports. B.It helps people to be creative. C.It’s worth adding to the sporting event. D.It calls on people to work as a team. 【4】What is the best title for the passage? A.A new sports competition B.Parkour practitioners C.Training in a different way D.Making the city their own |

In China, traveling by train is a common way to visit new places and go back to one’s hometown during holidays.【1】 It wasn’t always that way, though. 【2】 Later, many railway companies started up and competed with each other to build new railway routes. Trains became a symbol of progress, with New York City’s Grand Central Station becoming a major cultural landmark(地标).【3】 For example, Johnny Cash wrote a song called Folsom Prison Blues. But little by little, railways were replaced by highways as “car culture” took over the US. China would go on to use trains even more widely than the US. 【4】It allows people to travel fast with ease. This is especially obvious during Chunyun, when China’s train stations are crowded with thousands of people who are trying to get home. I had never traveled by train until I moved to China. My first trip by train was from Beijing to Tianjin by high-speed train. It was amazing how quickly I could get there-just half an hour. Since then, I’ve taken the train to lots of other cities—Shanghai, Chongqing and Shenzhen. It’s always a good time. 【5】 And for some reason, even instant noodles taste better on the train than they do anywhere else. A.Musicians even created music works about trains. B.The US railway system started to grow in 1826. C.People on the train tend to be friendly and happy to chat. D.China’s railway network connects the entire country. E.But in the US, traveling by train is a very old tradition. F.But there are many differences between Chinese and US railways. G.Traveling on a high-speed train costs more than traveling on a normal train. |

阅读下面短文，在空白处填入 1 个单词或括号内所给单词的正确形式。 The use of chopsticks has been【1】big part of Chinese food culture for centuries. When cooking food or picking it up, a pair of chopsticks always comes for use. So how did chopsticks come into being? It’s said that a leader of ancient China, Dayu, 【2】 helped his people fight floods, invented them. In those days, people 【3】(eat) only with their hands. But Dayu was busy 【4】 (prepare) for flood control work and often had his meals in the wild. In the summer【5】 particular, he hurried to deal with unexpected accidents and didn’t want to wait to eat. The meat 【6】(cook) in the pot was too hot to pick up with his hands. So one day Dayu picked up some twigs(细枝)【7】(help) him hold the meat. Then the twigs【8】(final) became the chopsticks we know today. But of course, this is just a story. The【9】(early) chopsticks archaeologists(考古学家) have found so far are more than 3,000 years old, dating back to the Shang Dynasty. The six bronze chopsticks were found in Yinxu, one of China’s oldest archaeological【10】(place), in Anyang, Henan province. |

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节和给定段落开头语进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。 There are many things that we should be thankful for in life, but many people aren’t, including me. Growing up, I wanted to be just like my mom. Kind and caring, she always seemed to make people comfortable . For years she was a volunteer in our community. I loved going to the local nursing home to help her until I became a teenager. Suddenly, I was too caught up in my world to worry about helping others. One summer day when I was twelve, Mom came into my room and told me to get up and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin(破坏) everything? Eventually, I made my way outside. I imagined the lake water cooling my skin. Feeling angry, I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. I sat in silence, too upset to make a conversation. “Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mom asked calmly. “I guess…,” I murmured(嘟哝) under my breath. “Sweetheart, we are going to a children’s shelter, I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained. I felt even more angry. How was I supposed to help there? When we reached the shelter, I was rather surprised. It was a large white Victorian home. As we got close to the large front porch, wind bells played a calming tune while trees and flowers welcomed us. Maybe this wasn’t going to be so bad. Mom rang the doorbell. The door opened and we were shown to the front room, where all of the children were playing. Toys were spread out across the floor. I noticed a baby with wounds on his body. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars(伤疤) such as cuts, scratches(抓伤) and burns. What a terrible life they had before they moved here! My heart sank. As I was looking around, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ I returned to the shelter with Mom several times. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ |
