there was one storyteller After getting tired of telling old fabricated stories he left his house in search of a real life story He reached a village and took a cottage for rent After wandering in the village throughout the month in search of true stories the storyteller couldn t find one Disappointed he decided to stop his search The next day while sitting in the cottage he suddenly heard a voice a woman was yelling 吼叫 at someone The voice was coming from the big wall behind his cottage He tried to hear the conversation it sounded like the woman was abusing 辱 骂 her daughter in law The storyteller didn t like it but he was happy to finally get his story Listening to the conversations each day he added them to his story Though he couldn t see the characters of his story he started hating the mother in law as she seemed to be a villain 坏人 Now it was time to finalize the end of the story But before he did the storyteller wanted to see the characters once so he climbed up the wall There he saw the mother in law sitting in a wheelchair It seemed she was disabled and that the daughter in law was resting nearby He saw the old lady trying to get some food lying on the table near her chair But because of her condition she couldn t reach it and it looked like the daughter in law was enjoying the old lady s helplessness Suddenly the old lady fell from the chair and started abusing her daughter in law The storyteller went back and quickly changed the ending of the story He was surprised how different it was compared to what he originally thought it would be Truly he had found both a real life story and a real life lesson 16 What s the meaning of the underlined word fabricated in Paragraph 1 A Funny B Imaginary C Amazing D Romantic 17 Why did the storyteller climb up the wall A He thought he was strong enough to do it B He expected to find out what was happening C He would like to find a good ending for his story D He wanted to have a look at the woman and her daughter in law 18 Why did the old woman start abusing her daughter in law 3 A Her daughter in law didn t take care of her B Her daughter in law was too busy to help her C Her daughter in law pushed her out of her wheelchair D Her daughter in law didn t allow her to get food 19 What lesson can we learn from the text A No one is as deaf as the man who will not listen B A good listener is not someone with nothing to say C Don t just listen to one s words Watch what one does D Everybody lies but it doesn t matter because nobody listens B My students often tell me that they do not have enough time to do all their schoolwork My reply is often a brief You have as much time as the president I usually carry on a bit about there being twenty four hours in the day for everyone and suggest that not enough time is not an acceptable explanation of not getting something done Once in graduate school I tried to justify 证明 有理 myself to one of my professors by saying that I was working hard His answer to me was That s irrelevant What s important is the quality of your work Since then I have had time to reflect on the hard worker dodge 妙计 and I have come to some conclusions all relevant to the issue of how much time we have If you look at the matter analytically you can identify two parts of the problem There is of course the matter of time which we can think of as fixed Then there is the issue of work during that time which can vary in intensity But as my professor suggested it s not the diligence of the work but the quality of the product that s important That led me to a new idea the quality of the work That concept is perhaps best explained by a sign I once saw on the wall in someone s office Don t work harder Work smarter There s a lot of sense in that idea If you can t get more time and few of us can the only solution is to improve the quality of the work That means devising 想出 ways of getting more out of the same time than we might otherwise get That should lead us to an analysis of our work habits Since work for students usually means homework the expression work habits should be read as study habits Then as a smart student you will seek to improve those skills that you use in study chiefly reading and writing If you learn to read better and write better there are big benefits that pay off across the board in all your studies 20 From the passage we know that

something done well 4 D should accept the teacher s suggestion 22 Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage A My students oft
