Do you know what it means when somebody tells you that he had “a catch-22 experience”?

The phrase “catch-22” comes from a book of the same title by the American writer Joseph Heller published in 1961．Catch-22 is a book of black humor．The author uses silly and even surreal(超现实的)events．It has a non-linear narrative structure(非线性的叙述结构)in which events follow the theme rather than the timing，to give us a very strange picture full of contradictions(矛盾)．

The story takes places in a bomber base in Italy during World WarⅡ．The main character, Captain Yossarian wants to leave the war．Unfortunately, every time he completes the number of tasks to be sent home，the number is raised and he is forced to continue fighting．It seems hopeless for him to go home under the very strange rule in this Air Force-catch-22：only when a soldier goes crazy can he be allowed to go home．But he has to go to the hospital to show the doctors that he is crazy．However, if he tells them he is crazy but is obvious healthy, he cannot go home．In short，catch-22 is“heads 1 win，tails I lose．If you can you can’t；and if you can’t，you can．”Whenever you try to behave correctly in a crazy world．There’s a catch(潜在的困难)．

During the Vietnam War, the phrase“catch-22”became a popular term for being caught in a no．win，circular dilemma and is now commonly used． The Oxford English Dictionary explains catch．22 as“a set of circumstances in which one requirement，etc，is dependent upon another, which is in turn dependent upon the first．”

1. Which of the following statements is right?

A. Catch-22 is one of Heller’s experiences during World War II．

B. Catch-22 is one of Yossarian’s experiences during the Vietnam War．

C. The events in catch-22 follow the theme．

D. The events in catch-22 follow the timing．

2.Why did Captain Yossarian fail to leave the war?

A. He wasn’t so anxious to leave the war．

B. He didn’t finish his tasks．

C. He was put into a catch-22 situation．

D. He wasn’t mad enough to be sent home．

3.What does the underlined sentence most probably mean?

A. Whenever and however you try, you are unable to reach the goal．

B. You can solve every problem you meet as long as you want to．

C. You can’t solve any problem in your life．

D. If you can’t solve all the problems．you can solve none．

4.The phrase“catch-22”came into being ________ _．

　 　 part of the study, some students agreed to take a 　 　 　 from their cell phones. After three phone-free days, students reported feeling less 　 　 　 about their daily lives. That might be a 　 　 　 reason to hang up the phone!

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

When you were a child you had a pure mind which was free from worries and anxieties. However, as time goes by, you’re faced with so many problems in life. Below are five techniques that can help you get relaxed.

1. Mind your own business.

Yes, please mind your own business. When you start being concerned about things which are not related to you, you lose your control on your thought process, which often has negative results disturbing the mental peace. Basically, your mind starts wandering here and there. So next time an unnecessary thought comes to your mind, think whether this is really something you should be worrying for? If not, keep it away and focus on something positive, practical and fruitful.

2. Surround yourself with positive people.

Overlook negative comments and stay away from negative souls. When someone is negative, he spreads negativity and you get affected. Staying with such people will have long term influence on your character so think about your company.

3. Don’t think about others too much.

Remember: Small minds discuss people; Average minds discuss events; Higher minds discuss ideas and Great minds act in silence. Don’t allow your brain to compare yourself to others as this is an insult (侮辱) to yourself. Don’t be jealous; it’s a heart killing disease, get rid of it as soon as possible. When you are jealous you focus on finding faults in others even if they don’t have. This poisons your soul and steals the mental peace.

4. You can’t keep everyone happy.

Don’t be oversensitive (过于敏感的). Be natural in what you do. Be positive and constructive in your deeds and then don’t really care too much about others. Be aware, don’t apply this to too closed relations. Develop trust to build up powerful relationships.

5. Don’t believe yourself to be unlucky.

Remember this: Bad luck happens to everyone. It’s not your fault at all. Time, whether good or bad, passes quickly. Develop the power of not looking back into your past. Believe in the power of Now. Believe in your skills. Work hard and you will get what you have been entitled for. Be patient and see what has been planned for you.

With these recommendations, I believe if you can make it, it’s probable that you can bring changes in your lifestyle and get back your mental peace.

1.This passage is written for those who want to _________.

A. seek learning skills
