【分析】文章主要讲述作者自己的经历：由一个自私的人成长为一个心中对他人有爱的

人，明白"爱他人即幸福”的道理。

【解答】(1)C.细节理解题。根据第一段Iwasselfishasateenager.!usually

spentmytimethinkingaboutmyselfandtakingcareofmyownneeds.I

letmyolderbrotherdomostoftheworkaroundthehouseuntilhe

leftforcollege.Iletmymomanddadworryaboutourbillsand

problemswhile1readbooks,played,andlostmyselfinmyownimagination.

我十几岁的时候很自私。我通常把时间花在思考自己和照顾自己的需要上。我让我的哥

哥做大部分家务，直到他去上大学。我让我的父母在我读书、玩耍和沉浸在自己的想象

中的时候担心我们的账单和问题。可知，作者在青少年时期较为自私，行为处事时总是

只考虑自己，几乎不为家人考虑，故选C。

(2)B.词义猜测题。根据划线词后SoonIfoundmyselfunemployed,deeplyindebt,andwith

anewbabyontheway.Ifoundoutthatlifehaslittlesympathyforspoiledpeople.Infact,allof

thestrugglesIwasgoingthroughwerebeatingtheselfishnessslowlyoutofme.彳艮快，我发现

自己失业了，债台高筑，还有一个新的婴儿即将出生。我发现生活中很少有人同情被宠

坏的人。事实上，我所经历的所有挣扎都在慢慢地将自私击退。结合划线词所在句子Of

course,Ihadnoideawhathardknocksrealityhadinstorefbrmyselfishsoul.当然，我不知

道现实会给我自私的灵魂带来什么样的打击。可知，划线词的意思是“艰辛”。结合选项：

A.truth."真相”；B.hardships."困难”；C.love."爱“；D.fortune.”命运”。故选B。

(3)D.推理判断题。根据第三段AsIwasfeedinghimIlookeddownandsawhisbig,

innocent,trustingeyes.Ismiledandtalkedtohim.ThenhesmiledandIcouldfeelmyheart

growing,expandingwithlove.Ifeltsuchpeaceandjoy.AtthatmomentIhadahintofthe

truth：itisbygrowingourheartswithlovethatwefindourhappiness.当我喂它的时候，我低

头看到了它那双天真、信任的大眼睛。我微笑着和他说话。然后他微笑。我能感觉到我

的心在成长，在爱中扩展。我感到如此平静和快乐。那一刻，我明白了一个道理.：正是

通过用爱培育我们的心灵，我们才找到了幸福。可知，作者在照料孩子的过程中，通过

自悟，了解到通往幸福的途径是心中充满爱，故选D。

(4)A.标题归纳题。根据最后一段CarolynArendswrote："Themorepeopleyou

letintoyourheart,thebiggeryourheartgets.Themoreloveyouget,the

moreloveyouhavetogive.ltjustkeepsgrowing."So,keeploving,keep

livingandkeepcaring.Keepgrowingyourhearttoday,tomorrow,and

always.CarolynArends写道：”你让更多的人进入你的内心，你的心就越大。你得到的爱

越多，你必须付出的爱就越多。爱只是不断增长。”所以，保持爱，保持生活，保持关心。

今天、明天，永远保持你的心不断增长。可知，本文主要讲述作者自己的经历：由一个

自私的人成长为一个心中对他人有爱的人，明白”爱他人即幸福”的道理。结合选项：

A.LovingOthers,aWaytoHappiness”爱别人，幸福之路”；B.TheElderOneGrows,theMore

HeGets”年纪越大，得到的越多”；C.HelpOthers,HelpOneself*'帮助别人,帮助自己”；

D.KeepGrowingtoLiveaHappyLife”保持成长，过上幸福的生活故选Ao

【点评】做这类题材阅读理解时要求考生对文章通读一遍，做题时结合原文和题目有针

对性的找出相关语句进行仔细分析，结合选项选出正确答案。切忌胡乱猜测，一定要做

到有理有据。
