课时训练(六) Ⅰ.阅读理解 A (2014·厦门质检) DEAR AUNTY， My husband's niece is 13 and who I would call “ a_handful”．She wants to stay with us for a while，and her mother and grandmother have told me what a great influence I would be on her.Her visit，no doubt，would bring about a long list of demands，and she'd want to bring a friend too.I don't feel comfortable to host her，but I don't know how to tell my husband's family members without hurting their feelings. －Reluctant Aunt Dear Reluctant， Let's get you out of this mess.Your husband's family is making a request that borders on a demand and sugar-coating it with self-serving flattery(恭维)．Put your foot down，and tell the truth.Say you don't feel equipped or comfortable to host the little darling，and regretfully decline(拒绝)．Under no circumstances should you take part in any discussion that attempts to change your mind through flattery. DEAR AUNTY， I have two stepdaughters,21 and 24.On holidays，the older one always buys me gifts but adds her sister's name on the card.I feel insincere to thank the younger daughter－I'd rather get no gift than be a part of this pretence.Is it tacky(俗气的)to ask the 24-year-old to stop giving her sister credit while it isn't deserved？Will the younger one ever learn to be thoughtful? －Mindful Mum Dear Mindful， Lighten up！Your older stepdaughter is a considerate and generous sister who covers for and protects her younger sister.Good for her！The girls' relationship is between them.As for your role，you can't punish anyone into being thoughtful.You can，however，model thoughtful behavior.Spend some time with her，and get to know her better. 1．The underlined part “a handful” would probably mean a person who________.

B (2014·中国人民大学附属中学月考)It was fifteen past nine as Marie hurried into the office building where she was going to work.Her bus had inched along through heavy morning traffic，making her a few minutes late for her very first job.She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby，she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor.When she finally reached the office marked “Smith Enterprises”，she knocked at the door nervously and waited.There was no reply.She tapped on the door again，but still there was no answer.From inside the next office，she could hear the sound of voices，so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr.Smith，it looked quite different now.In fact，it hardly looked like an office at all.The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking.In the front of the room，somebody must have just told a good joke，she thought，because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in.For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch，clapped his hands and said something to the others.Quickly they all went to their desks and，in a matter of seconds，everyone was hard at work.No one paid any attention to Marie.Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office.Hardly looking up from his work，he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr.Smith，who would arrive at any moment.Then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr.Smith arrived.Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning，arriving in the office at 9：35，so that his staff knew exactly when to start working. 5．Why was Marie nervous when she knocked at the door? A．Because it was her first day in a new job. B．Because she was a little bit late for work. C．Because she was afraid that she had gone to the wrong place. D．Because there was no answer from inside the office. 6．Marie could hardly recognize the office she went into as________.

A．would start their work by listening to a joke B．were cold to newcomers C．were always punctual for work D．lacked devotion to the company Ⅱ.七选五补缺题 (2013·辽宁卷) Forgiveness To forgive is a virtue，but no one has ever said it is easy.When someone has deeply hurt you，it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate.However，forgiveness is possible，and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health.People who forgive show less sadness，anger and stress and more hopefulness，according to a recent research. __1__Try the following steps： Calm yourself.__2__You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure：a beautiful scene in nature，or someone you love. Don't wait for an apology.Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize.They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don't see things the same way.__3__Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you. Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者)．Rethinking about your hurt，gives power to the person who caused you pain.Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings，learn to look for the love，beauty and kindness around you. __4__If you understand your offender，you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness，fear，and even love.You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender's point of view. Don't forget to forgive yourself.__5__But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don't do it. A．Why should you forgive? B．How should you start to forgive? C．Recognize the benefits of forgiveness. D．Try to see things from your offender's angle. E．For some people，forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge. F．To make your anger die away，try a simple stress-management technique. G．If you wait for people to apologize，you could be waiting an awfully long time.
