clowns(小丑),elephants and other acts they would see that night.the ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted.he proudly responded,“please let me buy eight childrens tickets and two adult tickets so i can take my family to the circus.” the ticket lady told him the price.the wifes head dropped,and the man leaned a little closer and asked,“how much did you say?” the ticket lady again told him the price.the man didnt have enough money.how was he supposed to turn and tell his eight kids that he didnt have enough money to take them to the circus? seeing what was going on,my dad put his hand into his pocket,pulled out a $20 bill and dropped it on the ground.(we were not wealthy in any sense of the word!) my father reached down,picked up the bill,tapped the man on the shoulder and said,“excuse me,sir,this fell out of your pocket.” the man knew what was going on.he wasnt begging for money but certainly appreciated the help in a difficult,embarrassing situation.he looked straight into my dads eyes,took my dads hand in both of his,and he replied,“thank you,thank you,sir.this really means a lot to me and my family.” my father and i went back to our car and drove home.we didnt go

sometimes to say a simple thing like“i was wrong about that,” and it is even harder to say,“i was wrong,and you were right about that.”i had an experience recently with someone admitting to me that he had made a mistake fifteen years ago.he told me he had been the manager of a certain grocery store in the neighbourhood where i grew up,and he asked me if i remembered the egg boxes.then he related an incident and i began to remember vaguely the incident he was describing.i was about eight years old at the time,and i had gone into the store with my mother to do the weekly grocery shopping.on that particular day,i must have found my way to the dairy food department where the incident took place.there must have been a special sale on eggs that day because there was an impressive display of eggs in dozen and half-dozen boxes.the boxes were stacked three or four feet high.i must have stopped in front of a display to admire the stacks.just then a woman came by pushing her grocery cart and knocked off the stacks of boxes.for some reason,i decided it was up to me to put the display back together,so i went to work.the manager heard the noise and came rushing over to see what had happened.when he appeared,i was on my knees inspecting some of the boxes to see if any of the eggs were broken,but to him it looked as if i was the culprit (做错事的人).he severely scolded me and wanted me to pay for any broken eggs.i tried to explain it wasnt me who had broken them,but it did no good.even though i quickly forgot all about the incident,obviously the manager did not.10. how old was the

days” when things were easier,there wasnt as much traffic or pollution,the pace of life was slower and,at least in theory,life was better than it is now.i agree that,for example,200 years ago there were no cars,life moved more slowly and laws and moral standards were somewhat different from what they are today.today,things happen more quickly and the problems we have are different.however,we have developed this lifestyle because we tried to fix the problems we had before.back then there was no refrigeration so food spoiled quickly and people starved;there was no internet so you and i couldnt talk;there were no big ships for men to work on and no good schools to teach children about the wonders of the world.its true that we have problems today but i think that we had more problems,or at least different problems,in the past.i think we tend to idealize the simpler life of years gone by and forget about the diseases they had,the hard lives they led and the conveniences we like that they simply didnt have.the world was certainly different then but i dont think it was better and i dont think you should be disappointed.as i have told you,my wife and i live on canadas west coast and all of our children live a very long way from us.fortunately,we can visit them sometimes.its true that we all miss each other but it is also true that they have their lives and we have ours.to be honest,i wouldnt want to live in the same house with my children because my wife and i value our freedom and our lifestyle.we all love each other and we have good times when were all together but we are all independent people.14.what does the underlined word “spoiled” in paragraph 2 probably mean?()a.went badb.ran outc.was shortd.was robbed15.why is todays life better than that in

his wife live alone on the coast?()a.their children live far away from them.b.they enjoy living on their own freely.c.they cant have good times with their children.d.they live on fishing on the beach.语篇解读:昔日的生活已经成为美好的回忆,珍惜今天的拥有吧,现在的生活比过去更美好。答案及剖析:14.a猜测词义题。画线词所在句提到当时没有冷藏技术,由生活常识可推知食物很快就会“变质”。15.d观点态度题。根据第二段内容尤其是倒数第二句的内容可知,作者认为如今的生活比过去更加美好的原因是人们可以享受更便捷的生活。16.b细节理解题。根据最后一段倒数第二句的内容可知原因是他们喜欢无拘无束地享受属于他们自己的生活。(e)(对应学生用书第132页)(2012河北高考模拟)【科普知识类】im often told how i have a dream job,that i work for a great company,getting to deal with the leaders in social media every day,and especially that i get to work from my home.usually the people who tell me that working from home is wonderful have never worked from home.they spend most of their career working from an office and hate it.in fact,i love being able to work from home and make my own hours.i truly appreciate being able to drop what im doing to attend kids or go shopping,but theres a side to it we dont often talk about,the hard side.no one wants to believe people like me,working from home,have anything to complain about.really,im not going to complain,but i do want to share a few things about telecommuting(远程办公)that few home-based people want to tell you because then it doesnt look so wonderful anymore.one of the reasons i love my job is the flexibility.i know that i can volunteer for school projects,meet friends for lunch and work out for an hour as long as i get my work done.but did you know telecommuters have to make up the time if they wish to pepper their days with fun distractions?so while my husband and kids are watching a movie,im working until midnight.besides,when you work from home,youre held to your phone and skype (网络电话) in case someone wants to talk to you during business hours.so its not so easy to be flexible!17.we learn from the passage that the writer .a.is quite satisfied with her present workb.can balance her work and family life wellc.complain
