and made their homes there They built strong forts（要塞）to guard the city and the harbor（港口） They also built churches，schools，hospitals and other places Slowly the city grew People from many other countries came to live and work in Macao Today many people live in Macao Some only go there to watch dogracing or motorracing or to gamble（赌博） with their money But Macao is a quiet and peaceful place It is pleasant just to walk around and look at the old buildings and forts You feel you are back in the old days Of course，some of the buildings are now in ruins（废墟） The Church of St Paul has only the front wall with many steps leading up to it But it is still interesting to see When you are hot and tired，there are small cool gardens to rest in When you are hungry，there are good restaurants with

money But most mistakes are about people:“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that great job，did Jim really feel good about it as a friend？ Or did he envy（嫉妒） my luck？” When we look back，questions like these can make us feel bad But when we look back，its too late Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies？ Sometimes what people say hides real meaning And if we dont really listen，we miss the feeling behind the words Suppose someone tells you，“You are a lucky dog” Is he really on your side？ If he says，“You are a lucky boy” or “You are a lucky girl”，thats being friendly But “lucky dog”，theres a bit of envy in the “dog” Maybe he doesnt see it himself But bringing in the “dog” puts you down a little What he may be saying is that he doesnt think you should have such good luck “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another example that says one thing and means another It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to look upon your problems as part of your life as a whole But is he？ Hidden in this phrase is the thought that your problem cant be important Its telling you to think of all the poor people in hunger and cold in the world when you havent got a date for Saturday night How can you tell the real meaning behind someones words？ One way is to take a good look at the person talking Do his words fit the way he looks？ Does what he says square with the tone of his voice？ His posture（姿势）？ The look in his eyes？ Stop and thinkThe minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save another mistake 18 The examples in the first paragraph show the writer A feels happy，thinking of how nice his friends were to him B feels he may not have “read” his friends true feelings correctly C thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girlfriend Helen D is sorry that his friends should let him down19 Talking about “You are a lucky dog”，the writer is saying A the speaker of this sentence is just being friendly B the same as “you are a lucky boy” or “you are a lucky girl” C the word “dog” shouldnt be used to speak about people D sometimes the words used by a speaker give away the feeling behind the words20 The underlined sentence means just according to the writer A problems are part of your life B your own problem is not as bad as you thought C you should thank others for what they have done for you D poor people in the world are the most important21 When you listen to a person，the important thing is A not to believe what he says B to check his words against his manner，his tone and his posture C to notice his tone，his posture and the look in his eyes D to listen to how he pronounces his wordsF Our surroundings are being polluted faster than mans present efforts to prevent pollution Time is bringing us more people，and more people will bring us more industry，more cars，larger cities and the growing use of manmade materials What can explain and solve the problem？ The fact is that pollution is caused by man by his desire（欲望） for a modern way of life We make “increasing industrialization” our chief aim So we are often ready to offer everything：clean air，pure water，good food，our health and the future of our children There is a constant（连续不断的）flow of people from the countryside into the cities，eager for the benefits of our modern society But as our technological achievements（成就）have grown in the last twenty years，pollution has become a serious problem Isnt it time we stopped to ask ourselves where we are going and why？ It makes one think of the story of the airline pilot（飞行员）who told his passengers over the loudspeaker，“Ive some good news and some bad news The good news is that we are making rapid progress at 530 miles per hour The bad news is that we are lost and cant know where we are going.” The sad fact is that this becomes a true story when we speak of our modern society 22 According to the writer，more and more people crowd into

worried about the future of our society B man can hardly know the future of the society C people are not satisfied with the development of the society D little can be done to get rid of pollution 25 The best title for the passage should be “” A A Problem of Modern Life B Population Growth C The Development of Modern Society D Pollution 高一英语阅读训练（2）A Why do people in all countries ride in buses to school，to work and to far places？Buses can go where trains and airplanes cannot They do not cost as much to travel on Even though they may not move as fast as airplanes and trains，they sometimes take

people A large one might have seats for fifty to seventy people and have standing room for more Thousands of yellow school buses carry millions of children to school every year Most of these buses have seats placed quite close together to fit in as many children as possible Some schools buy their own buses Others pay to use buses that belong to bus companies City and town buses carry people for
