janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like? well, you now have that girls opinion. go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. pay no attention to the other things she said.”i did as he told me. to my great surprise, i discovered that about half the things were true. some of them i couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number i couldand suddenly i wanted to change. for the first time i go to fairly clear picture of myself.i brought the list back to daddy. he refused to take it. “thats just for you,” he said. “you know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. but you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. when something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. our world is full of people who think they know your duty. dont shut your ears. listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”daddys advice has returned to me at many important moments. in my life, ive never had a better piece of advice.21. what did the father do after he had heard his daughters words?a. he told her not to pay any attention to what her“enemy”had said.b. he criticized her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.c. he told her to write down all that her“enemy”had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.d. he refused to take the list and have a look at it.22. what does the underlined sentence“week by week her list grew”in paragraph 1 mean?a. week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.b. she had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.c. i was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.d. week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.23. why did her father listen to her quietly?a. because he believed that what her daughters“enemy” said was mostly true.b. because he had been so angry with his daughters shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while.c. because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.d. because he wasnt quite sure which girl was telling the truth.24. which do you think would be the best title for this passage?a. not an enemy, but the best friendb. the best advice ive ever hadc. father & sond. my unforgettable childhoodbmy mother always told us there is no use crying over spilled milk. that means you should not get angry when something bad happens and cannot be changed. she also told us you have to break some eggs to make an omelet (煎蛋卷). this means you have to do what is necessary to move forward.my mother believed you are what you eat. a good diet is important for good health. she would always give us healthy food. she liked serving us meat and potatoes for dinner. meat and potatoes can also mean the most important part of something. it describes someone who likes simple things.people always said my father was the salt of the earth, because he would never pour salt on a wound(伤口), or make someone feel worse about something that was already a painful experience. however, sometimes he told us a story that seemed bigger than life. so we had to take it with a grain of salt. that is, we could not believe everything he told us.my manager at work does not always know what is going on in our office. yet she is right about one thing: there is no such thing as a free lunch. something may appear to be free, but there may be a hidden cost. when we fail to see problems at work, my manager tells us to wake up and smell the coffee.we need to pay more attention and fix the problem. i once made a big mistake at the office and felt foolish. i had egg on my face.over the weekend, my friend invited me to watch a football game on television. but i do not like football.it is not my cup of tea.i hope i have given you food for thought, that is, something to think about.25. when problems came up, the authors mother told them to _. a. give up b. hurry up c. be careful d. keep calm26. which of the following is used to describe someone who likes simple things?

a. people sleep less nowadays than in the past. b. ones iq depends on how many hours he sleeps. c. people need at least eight hours of sleep every day. d. sleep is more important for health than diet or exercise.33. the “power nap” mentioned in paragraph 4 refers to a sleep of _. a. about ten minutes b. about twenty minutes c. about half an hour d. about an hour34. the multiple sleep latency test is based on the fact that _. a. the sleepier people are, the faster they will fall asleep b. the cleverer people are, the less sleep they need c. the longer people sleep, the healthier they are d. the colder it is, the sleepier people are35. according to the passage, _. a. sleeping for six hours is enough for people on cold days b. people in developed countries spend more time asleep c. nowadays people usually sleep for nine hours a night d. a power nap can help a worker do better第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to come up with a good ideaare you thinking of writing a book or doing some other amazing thing, but are stuck for ideas?
