Ⅱ.阅读理解
A
Is there someone you hate?Well,maybe you don’t really hate them.But you do get really angry every time you think of them.If you don’t overcome this anger,it can turn into bitterness (积怨).
Bitterness can result when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry.Someone might say or do something that hurts us.But instead of working through the anger,we keep it deep inside.Before long,a bitter feeling begins to grow.Bitterness shows when we constantly criticize the one who hurts us.We may think we’re hurting that person,but we’re really only hurting ourselves.
Bitterness is a harmful emotion that affects the whole body.It can lead to serious health problems such as high blood pressure.Bitterness can keep us from concentrating on important things.Finally,holding onto bitterness can hurt our relationships with friends and family members.No one enjoys being around an angry,negative person for very long.
Author Chuck Swindoll once said,“Life is 10% what happens to us and 90% how we respond to it.”That means when someone hurts you,your response is more important than what happened.You can choose to let go of hurt,or you can hold onto it,which results in bitterness.
If you see bitterness in your life,here are some ways to handle it.
Instead of denying(否定) your anger,admit it to yourself.Then see your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it.
You may feel you have a right to be angry.You may think you’re right and the other person is wrong.You may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad.But in the end,bitterness hurts you much more than the other person.Bitterness will hold you back,and the other person will go on with his or her life.
The best thing you can do is forgive and forget.You probably can’t completely put the act out of your mind.But you can decide to forgive the other person.Let it go and move on.You’ll enjoy better health and peace of mind.
16.What will happen if we don’t release anger?
A.We won’t put blame on others for no reason.
B.A bitter feeling will develop in our mind.
C.We will not be particular about what others do.
D.We will always be criticized and hurt.
17.What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?
A.The physical effects of bitterness.
B.The relationships hurt by bitterness.
C.The negative effects of bitterness.
D.A waste of time to hate others.
18.The author advises us to do the following EXCEPT________.
A.hold onto bitterness inside us
B.forgive the one who hurts us
C.deal with your anger properly
D.forget others’ rude behavior
19.By forgiving others,we are able to________.
A.prevent bad things from happening
B.be friends with the person who hurts us
C.enjoy good health and a peaceful mind
D.forget the bitter experience completely
20.What is the text mainly about?
A.The advantages of bitterness.
B.The ways to dispel bitterness.
C.The causes and effects of bitterness.
D.Both B and C.

Last year college students in America spent an estimated $700 on textbooks on average.The National Association of College Stores reported more than five billion dollars in sales of textbooks and course materials.
The association spokesman Charles Schmidt says electronic textbooks now just make up 2%~3% of sales.But he says that is expected to reach 10%~15% by 2017.
Online versions(版本) are now available for many of the most popular college textbooks.An e-textbook can cost half the price of a new print textbook.But students usually lose access to them after the end of the term.And the books cannot be placed on more than one device(设备),so they are not easy to share.
So what do students think of e-textbooks?Administrators at Northwest Missouri State University wanted to find it out.Earlier this year they tested them with 500 students in 20 classes.
The university is unusual.It provides laptop computers for all 7,000 of its full-time students.It does not require students to buy their textbooks either.They rent them to save money.The school aims to save even more by moving to e-textbooks.
The students in the survey reported that downloading the books from the Internet was easy.They liked the idea of carrying lighter backpacks.And 56% said they were better able to find information.
But most found that using e-textbooks did not change their study habits.And 60% felt they read more when they were reading on paper.In all,almost half the students said they still liked physical textbooks better.
But the survey found that cost could be a big influence.55% said they would choose e-textbooks if using them meant their textbook rental fee would not increase.
Roger Von Holzen heads the Center for Information Technology in Education at Northwest Missouri State University.He tells us that administrators are disappointed with the e-textbooks now available because the majority are not interactive(交互式的).
He thinks growth will come when more digital books include video,activities,games and other ways to interact with the information.The technology is improving.But for now,most of the books are just words on a screen.
21.E-textbooks are not better than paper books in that________.
A.they cost more money
B.they’re difficult to carry
C.they’re not convenient to share
D.they can’t be downloaded from the Internet
22.How many surveyed students think paper books make better reading?
A.60%.
B.56%.
C.55%.
D.50%.
23.Northwest Missouri State University equips its students with computers to________.
A.help students to save money
B.make profits by renting e-textbooks
C.check whether students like using computers
D.make it convenient for them to read e-textbooks
24.Why are e-textbooks now available not satisfactory?
A.Readers cannot interact with the authors.
B.The contents cannot meet readers’ need.
C.Most of them are just words on a screen.
D.They lack necessary relevant information.
25.It can be inferred from the text that in the future________.
A.digital books will be more popular
B.the digital books available need improvement
C.free digital books are available online
D.digital books will replace print textbooks
