2013高考英语阅读理解（4月）训练（30）及答案阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（a、b、c和d）中，选出最佳选项。amost of us long for relationships in which we are loved and accepted. our hearts desire is to give and receive love in relationships that make us feel that even if others disagree with what we do or say, they still love us, accept us, and appreciate what we give to the world. while it would be wonderful to have these types of relationships with all people, we know thats hard to do. however, we can have such relationships with some others, but only when we first have them with ourselvesand, strangely, this is often the hardest relationship of all. do you love yourself? you may think you do, but do you really? theres only one way to find out-by taking a close look at what you think, say, and do. you may not like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work. herere three ways for gaining greater personal insight for deeper love:listen closely to your thoughts your thoughts will determine your actions. one thing helping you to listen to your thoughts is keeping a journal. it is not necessary for you to write in it every day, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life. instead of using a big notebook, you might use a small notepad that you can keep in your pocket for easy access to record your thoughts as they occur to you. whichever method you choose, whats most important is that you write your thoughts down. it will help you know whats in your heart.be honest with yourself to do this, you should pay attention to your actions. actions speak louder than words, and they always tell the truth. if you say you love your job, but your actions say otherwise, which do you think is more reliable? on the other hand, if you say youre not good at a certain job, but your actions say otherwise, thats also important. what do you do with this insight? you can use it to make more positive choices in your life. by being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself.take quiet time to listen to your inner voice this is similar to the first point, but it takes a step further-beyond the natural mind to the heart that cannot be seen. you may want to use your quiet time to think deeply. however you use this time, the key is to shut out all of the noise around you by focusing deep within yourself. breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. i know its hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but its so important-even if its just 10 minutes a day and you have to hide somewhere to get it. quiet time can really make a difference in your life. despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits. the key is to unconditionally love yourself first.1. by looking deep into what we think, say, and do, we can _. a. know whether we really love ourselves b. appreciate what we give to the world c. realize what type of relationship we long for d. know whether we are loved and accepted by others2. an important way for gaining personal insight is to _. a. do some positive inner work b. keep a journal wherever you go c. look closely at what others say about us d. pay attention to our thoughts3. the insight we gain from our actions can help us _. a. focus our attention on our jobs b. make more positive choices in our life c. act according to the truth d. tell the differences between our words and our actions4. it can be learned from the passage that if we want to have love without limits, we must first of all _. a. be honest with ourselves anytime b. give our love to others generously c. love ourselves unconditionally d. take quiet time and think deeply 1. a. 第二段前三句2. d. 第三段的概括3. b. 第四段的you can use it to make more positive choices in your life. om4. c. 结尾段*结束（2011全国ii）dthe way we do things round heresome years ago, i was hired by an american bank. i received a letter from the head of the personnel department that started, dear john, i am quite pleased that you have decided to join us. that quite saddened me. i thought he was saying were kind of pleased you decided to joinus although i wish we had hired someone else. then i discovered that in american english quitesometimes means very, while in british english it means fairly.so the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that i dontjust mean the words people speak. it is body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. the way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures（文化）some of these differences may be only on the surface一dress, food and hours of work一while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate（气候），while getting on with business.some of the differences may be an improvement. people are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. however, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality（准时）if you invite people to a party at 7 oclockyour guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in germany, five minutes early in theamerican midwest, an hour early in japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the uk, up to an hour afterwards in italy and some time in the evening in greece. i prefer not to use the word late because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. it is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.52. the author was unhappy as mentioned in paragraph 1 because he thought_ a. the american bank didnt think much of him b. the american bank might hire another person c. its difficult to get used to american culture d. its easy to misunderstand americans53the word highlights in paragraph 2 probably means_. a. encourages b. helps to narrow c. increases d. draws attention to54. according to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?
