Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right--and others are wrong. Many people believe that it's their job to
1
others how their positions,statements, and points of view are
2
, and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow
3
it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been
4
by someone arm said to him, "Thank you so much for showing me that l'n wrong and you're right. ' or, has anyone you know ever
5
you when you corrected them, or made yourself "right" at their
6
? Of course not. The truth is, all of us
7
to be corrected. We all want our positions to be
8
and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest
9 of the human heart. And those who learn to
10
are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the
11
of correcting others are often resented (怨恨) and
12
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practice
13
others.
The joy of being right-- give them the glory(荣耀).
14
correcting. When someone says, "I really feel it's important to... ' rather than jumping
15
and saying, "No, it's more important to... ' simply let it go and allow their statement to
16
. The people in your life will become less defensive and more
17
. They will appreciate you more than you could ever have
18
. You'll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing (目睹) other people's
19
, which is far more re- warding than a battle of egos (自我) . Starting today, let others be"
20
",most of the time!
1. A. show
B. ask
C. prove
D. teach
答案: A
指导:showsb.sth.“给某人展示……”。此处指有些人总是指出别人的立场、观点等是错误的。show后跟的是how引导的宾语从句。干扰性比较大的是teach,teach。b.ste教(会)某人什么,但后面一般不跟从句。
2. A. unimportant
B. unbelievable
C. incorrect
D. imperfect
答案: C
指导:由下文“纠iE"别人可知。文章的第一段用以提出问题,有些人老是指出别人的观点、立场等“不对”,因此选incorrect,相当于wrong。其他选项“不重要的”、“不可信的”、“不完美的”都与前后文出现的“纠正"别人在表达的逻辑上不一致。
3. A. consider
B. appreciate
C. understand
D. refuse
答案: B
指导:appreciate此处意为“感激”。有些人在指出别人 错误的同时,期望别人会“感激”他们。首先refuses!拒绝”在此与作者所表达的意义相反,consider“考虑”,understand“理解”都没有把握好上下文的联系和提示。上文已经提到thank一词。
4. A. fooled
B. helped
C. taught
D. corrected
答案: D
指导:此处作者以反问的形式指出:你在“纠正’’别人的时候,别人感激过你吗?correct此处用作动词,意为“纠正”。fooled"欺骗”,helped"帮助”,与“感激’’在逻辑上矛盾;taught"教学”,意义不通。
5. A. thanked
B. rewarded C. cared
D. accepted
答案: A
指导:此处整句都是作者的反问,言外之义:你在纠正别人的时候,别人并没有“感激”你,而是怨恨你、对你敬而远之。rewarded"报答”,cared"在乎”,accepted"接受”,意义上似乎都沾点边,但都脱离了上下文的逻辑和提示。
6. A. side
B. price
C. expense
D. cost
答案: C
指导:atone'sexpense意为“以牺牲……为代价”。此处有踩着别人的肩膀往上爬之意。英语中。none's side是“站在某人一边”;prtce指的是“价格”;cost指的是做什么事情的“成本”。
7. A. like
B. hate
C. prefer
D. afford
答案: B
指导:此处作者指出实际的情况:我们都“不喜欢、痛恨”被别人“纠正”,hate to be done"痛恨、不喜欢被……”。like“喜欢”,prefer"更喜欢”偏离了此处的意义;afford to do意为“有钱干……”。
8. A. admired
B. received C. realized
D. respected
答案: D
指导:由后面的understood可知,我们都希望自己的立场得到别人的“尊重”和理解。admired"崇拜”在语意上意味太强;receive"收到(具体的东西)”,realized"实现”不符合表达的需要。
9. A. shortcomings
B. advantages
C. desires
D. wishes
答案: C
指导:指我们内心的“欲望”。shortcomings"缺点”,advantages"优点”,从意思上很容易排除;wishes干扰性较大,意思是“理想”,语意太强,而且与后面的 of the human heart不搭配。
10. A. talk
B. praise
C. help
D. listen
答案: D
指导:学会“倾听”别人的观点,才能得到别人的爱戴和尊敬。从不要老去纠正别人,而应该学会“倾听”这一角度,就能排除其他三个选项。
11. A. habit
B. form
C. position
D. purpose
答案: A
指导:beinthehabit of相当于have the habit of
12. A. punished
B. avoided
C. left
D. scolded
答案: B
指导:由前面的“怨恨”可知,老是纠正别人会引起别人的“憎恨”和“回避”。left"留下”,不符合此处表达的意义;punished"惩罚”和scolded"批评”表达上太绝对。
13. A. letting
B. lending
C. allowing
D. owing
答案: C
指导:allowsb.sth.“允许某人拥有……”。1et没有此搭配;lendsb.sth.意为“借给某人某物”;owesb.sth.意为“欠某人什么”。
14. A. Stop
B. Continue C. Practise
D. Try
答案: A
指导:作者建议:“别再老是‘纠正’别人”,故用stopdoine"停止干……”。其他三个选项在搭配上都成立,但把握住作者的建议便可排除它们。
15. A. out
B. up
C. in
D. off
答案: C
指导:jumpin相当于breakin"插话、打断别人”。理解了此处的意思,便可排除其他选项,break out当战争、火灾、争吵等“爆发”讲;break up当物体或关系“破裂”讲;breakoff当“挣脱”或“打断(锁链等)”讲。
16. A. last
B. go
C. work
D. stand
答案: D
指导:stand意为“站得住脚、能成立”讲。last"持续”,work用作不及物动词,意为“起作用”,都脱离了作者表达的意图。
17. A. helpful
B. loving
C. careful
D. popular
答案: B
指导:loving“友爱的”。helpful"有帮助的”,careful“细心的”,popular"流行的、受欢迎的”,此处应考虑与前面less defensive"减少敌意”在表达的逻辑上要一致。
18. A. dreamed
B. wanted
C. asked
D. demanded
答案: A
指导:dream"梦想”。此处作者表达的意思是:一旦你停止纠正别人,别人就会对你非常感激,超出你的期望。 此处应从“超出期望”这一角度去理解。asked和demanded意思都是“要求”,wanted“想”语意太弱。
19. A. sufferingsB. worries
C. success
D. happiness
答案: D
指导:目睹别人因为正确而获得的“幸福”。sufferings“磨难”,worries"担心的事”,success"成功”,都偏离了文章的意义。
20. A. happy
B. right
C. sorry
D. proud
答案: B
指导:由全文可知,这是作者议论的中心:让别人“对”吧。

Living one's life is really like driving on a highway.
First, to make a good driving, the driver must carefully examine the
1
of his car, just as he cares for his health for a good life. Once he enters into the highway, he must
2
certain rules for his own safety.
It also can be said that he must obey certain rules of
3
when living as a decent (体面的) adult. For example, on the highway, he is
4
to keep a constant speed which can be compared with his
5
activities through his life.
Neither driving nor living must be taken at too
6
a speed nor at too slow a speed. If he drives too
7
, the police will give him a ticket, just as he will be arrested when he breaks the law.
8
too conservatively(保守的) , he will be called an out of date person
9
the others driving at the proper speed. When he wants to change his lanes, he must give careful
10
to every direction of his ear. It is sometimes
11
to change the way of life
12
he can be sure of completion by doing so.
He
13
not make any unnecessary changing of lanes which gives him only danger.
Finally, he must
14
where he is now by recognizing some
15
appearing now and then. If he takes the wrong way, he must return to the fight as
16
as he can. But he may thus lose
17
and energy both on the road and in life.
18
the whole, driving on a highway and living one's life are both hard work.
19
if he is careful and serious enough,
20
will provide him much pleasure.

D. Working
答案: B
指导:此处指人们如果“行为”太保守,就会影响他人。其他语意用在此处不通。
9. A. persuadingB, getting

10. A. notice
B. attention
C. signs
D. regards
答案: B
指导:开车时,人们必须集中“注意力”,看好每一个方向。故用give careful attention to=pay careful attention to。其他选项notice当“无意注意”讲,signs当“标志、符号、迹象”讲,都不合题意。

C. unfit
D. troublesome

16. A. possible
