Do this and you’ll be welcome anywhere．

Why read this book to find out how to win friends? Why not study the technique of the greatest winner of friends the word has ever known? Who is he? You may meet him coming down the street．When you get within ten feet of him，he will begin to wag its tail．If you stop and pat him，he’ll jump out of his skin to show you how much he likes you．And you know this show of love．There is no secret motives：he doesn’t want to sell you any real estate，and he doesn’t want to be your husband or wife．

Did you ever stop to think that a dog is the only animal that doesn’t have to work for a living? A hen has to lay eggs；a cow has to give milk；and a canary has to sing．But a dog makes a living by giving you nothing but love．

When I was five years old，my father bought a little yellow—haired young dog for fifty cents．He was the light and joy of my childhood．Every afternoon around four thirty，he would sit in the front yard with his beautiful eyes staring at the road, and as soon as he heard my voice or saw me through the brush, he was off like a shot, racing breathlessly up the hill to greet me with leaps of joy and barks of cheer.

Tippy was my good companion for five years．Then one night — I shall never forget it—he was killed within ten feet of my head, killed by lightning ．Tippy’ s death was the tragedy event of my childhood.

You never read a book on psychology, Tippy．You didn’t need to．You knew that one can make more friends in months by  being really interested in other people than one can in two years by trying to get other people interested in him．Let me repeat that .you can make more friends in two months by becoming interested in other people than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.

1.When the writer writes “the greatest winner of friends the world has ever known”, he refers to.

A．himself                                              B．Tippy

C．a pet dog                                            D．a psychology book

2.The writer takes Tippy as a good example to________.

A．explain how to win love from others

B．show how he liked his friend

C．tell the readers why they should read the book

D．show us how a pet dog should behave

3.According to the writer，to be welcome anywhere，you must________.

A．know much about others’ feelings      B．do everything without secret motives

C．satisfy the needs of different people      D．show care and love for others

4.Generally speaking，in what tone is the passage written?

A．Light                B．Serious             C．Sad                    D．Disappointed

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

Returning to a book you’ve read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There’s a welcome familiarity - but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don’t change, people do. And that’s what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.

The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It’s true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it’s all about the present. It’s about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.

There are three books I reread annually .The first, which I take to reading every spring is Emest Hemningway’s A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it’s his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating (令人陶醉的)，an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard’s Holy the Firm, her poetic 1975 ramble (随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortazar’s Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortazar.

While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifs, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author’s work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it’s you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.

1.Why does the author like rereading?

A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship.

B.It’s a window to a whole new world.

C.It’s a substitute for drinking with a friend.

D.It extends the understanding of oneself.

2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast?

A.It’s a brief account of a trip.

B.It’s about Hemingway’s life as a young man.

C.It’s a record of a historic event.

D.It’s about Hemingway’s friends in Paris.

3.What does the underlined word ＂currency＂ in paragraph 4 refer to?

A.Debt

B.Reward.

C.Allowance.

D.Face value.

4.What can we infer about the author from the text?

A.He loves poetry.

B.He’s an editor.

C.He’s very ambitious.

D.He teaches reading.
