i decided then and there to make a list of 50 things i was thankful to. at first it was hard, and then it got easier. one day i decided to up it to 75. that night there was a phone call for me, asking if i would do a one-day training for 200 hospital workers. i said yes and got the job. my day with the hospital workers went very well. i got a standing welcome and many more days of work. to this day i know that it was because i changed my attitude (态度) to gratitude. by chance, the day after i found the earring the girl asked me if anyone had looked for it. i told her no and she said “i guess it was meant for you then.” i spent the next year doing training workshops all around the seattle area and then decided to risk everything and go back to scotland where i had lived before. i closed my one man business and bought a plane ticket one month later i met my wonderful english wife and best friend of 15 years now. we live in a small beautiful house in scotland.the only attitude is gratitude has been my motto (座右铭) for years now and yes, it completely changed my life.1.what is the underlined word it mean in the passage?a.to make a list of things he was thankful tob.the words “be happy”c.to forget that his life became so hardd.the special earring the girl gave to the writer2.the underlined word gratitude means being?a.thankfulb.openc.carefuld.kind3.which of the following is not true according to the passage?a.the writer made a list of 75 things he was thankful to.b.the writers wife has been his best friend for 15 years.c.the writer has lived in seattle since 20 years ago.d.the writer did the training for 200 hospital workers.4.what would be the best title for the passage?a.attitude and gratitudeb.the girl and ic.be happyd.the earring 三、阅读与表达专项训练some children are born bosses. they have a need to make decisions, manage their environment and lead rather than follow. too much rule in the hands of the young isnt healthy for children or the family. family expert john taylor says, “children have secret feelings of weakness. they are always trying to feel safe. ”its the parents duty-not the childs-to provide safety. when a “boss child doesnt learn limits(限制)at home, troubles will appear outside the family. the child may have trouble obeying(遵守)teachers, for example, or keeping friends. it can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your ruling ways. bossy kids are often unusually bright. their parents need to be especially careful to manage them. bossy kids usually work more on the mother. its important for both parents to know their childs weakness, to agree on key rules and to back each up.even as you try to be kindto a pointdont give up your parental ruling post. instead, stand your ground by using body language that tells your child who the boss is.good manners are important to family. show a child by example how to ask for something rather than shout orders. try asking your child to do things that are not too difficult. then reward(奖励)him with a hug(拥抱)and words such as “thank you. i like it when you listen to me.” over time good manners will become associated(联结)with pleasure.1. is the passage mainly about how to teach children?_2. do bossy children usually feel lonely or have a lot of friends?_3. which of the parents should know their childs weakness?_4. why is it important to teach children good manners?_5. what should parents be like to teach a boss child well?_连续四年北京最好的中考英语成绩来自乐加乐!淀、西城、东城期末冲刺短期班火热报名中!参考答案：一、翻译句子1. he wrote down my address, so that he might remember it2. are they talking about the football game last night?3. because of sickness, he quitted the game.4. we are waiting for the rain to stop.5. it took a long time for the scientists to solve those problems.6. i wish all of you will be in good health.7. her time is fully taken up with writing.8. as a result, their performance was a big success.9. i dont think that pair of trousers fits you, but you can try it
