Marvin, a friend of mine, was the kind of guy who was always happy and had something positive to say. Being a natural motivator, Marvin was there telling the employee how to look on the positive side of the situation whenever he or she was having a bad day.

Several months ago in his restaurant, Marvin was held up at gunpoint by four armed robbers. They panicked and shot him. Luckily, Marvin was found relatively quickly and rushed to the local hospital. After 18 hours of operation and weeks of intensive care, Marvin was recovered with pieces of the bullets(子弹) still in his body.

It is really a miracle(奇迹) for Marvin’s surviving the robbery. When I met Marvin after the terrifying accident, I did ask him what had gone through this mind as the robbery took place. Marvin replied, “as I lay on the floor, I remembered that I had two choices: I could choose to live, or I could choose to die. I declined to choose to die.” Marvin continued, “The nurses kept telling me I was going to be fine. But when they wheeled me into the emergency room and from the expressions on the faces of the doctors and nurses I read, ‘He’s a dead man.’ I knew I needed to take action.” “What did you do?” I asked. “Well, there was a big nurse shouting questions at me,” said Marvin. “She asked if I was allergic to anything. ‘Yes, I replied. The doctors and nurse stopped working as they waited for my reply. I took a deep breath and yelled, ‘Bullets’. Over their laughter I told them, ‘I am choosing to live. Operate on me as if I am alive, not dead.’”

“Each time something bad happens, I can choose to be a victim or to learn from it. I choose to learn from it. Every time someone comes to me complaining, I can choose to accept their complaining or to point out the positive side of life. I choose the positive side of life.” Marvin concluded.

1.What happened to Marvin several months ago?

A. He was attacked by terrorists.

B. He got shots in a gun battle.

C. He met with a car accident.

D. He was badly wounded by robbers.

2.Why did Marvin think he needed to take action in hospital?

A. He couldn’t bear the rudeness of a big nurse.

B. The medical staff was not skilled enough to save him.

C. He had to encourage the doctors and nurses for the operation.

D. He was in danger and had to follow the nurses’ instructions.

3.Which of the following would best describe Marvin according to the text?

A. Humorous and optimistic.

B. Unique and unselfish.

C. Positive and cautious.

D. Outstanding and ambitious.

4.We can infer from the text that __________.

A. the doctors were sure about the operation on Marvin

B. Marvin’s survival depends on luck

C. choices mean success

D. attitude is vital in life

Many people struggle with saying “No”. 1. Remember, just because you can do　 something does not mean it is required. Understand you always have a right to turn down an invitation or refuse a favor and figure out the best ways to say “No”. Here are some specific tips.

Give yourself permission to say no. Many people have an immediate reaction to say “Yes” when they’re asked to do someone a favor. Keep in mind，you are never required to say “Yes”. It’s actually okay to say “No” sometimes. Accept this as you prepare to say “No” to someone.　 2.

Set up your personal boundaries.3. However, that reason does not have to be concrete. Many people think if they can do something, they should. Your reason for saying “No” can be a simple matter of your own personal boundaries. Think about what boundaries you have, and accept the fact you’re allowed to stay true to them.

4. People often won’t take “No” for an answer. If you say “No” to someone，they may give you various reasons to try and change your mind. Stay determined for your decision and do not give in easily.

Practice saying “ No”. It may sound silly, but you can actually practice saying “ No”alone. 5. Practice giving a firm “No” to someone so you get comfortable with the words. Many people are nervous about saying “ No ” and may say “Yes” due to anxiety. Practicing can help get rid of some of this anxiety.

A. This will help you say “No” with ease.

B. Be aware of potential persuasion techniques.

C. Find a good chance to stand in front of a crowd.

D. It’s always easier to say “No” if you have a reason.

E. Try standing before a mirror and looking at yourself.

F. It’s rather easy for you to set up your personal boundaries.

G. If someone asks you a favor，you may feel you have to say “Yes”.

高三英语完形填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

What is time? Is it a thing to be saved or spent or wasted, like money? Or is it something we have no control over, like the weather? Is it the same all over the world? That’s an easy question, you say. Wherever you go, a minute is 60 seconds, an hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, and so forth. Well, maybe. But in America, time is more than that. Americans see time as a valuable resource. Maybe that’s why they are fond of the expression, “Time is money.”

Because Americans believe time is a limited resource, they try to keep and manage it. People in the US often attend conferences or read books on time management. It seems they all want to organize their time better. Professionals carry around pocket planners(计划书) — some in electronic form — to keep track of appointments and deadlines. People do all they can to press more life out of their time.

To Americans, punctuality is a way of showing respect for other people’s time. Being more than 10 minutes late to an appointment usually calls for an apology, and maybe an explanation. People who are running late often call ahead to let others know of the delay. Of course, the less formal the situation, the less important it is to be exactly on time. At informal get-togethers, for example, people often arrive as much as 30 minutes past the appointed time. But they usually don’t try that at work.

American lifestyles show how much people respect the time of others. When people plan an event, they often set time days or weeks in advance. Once the time is fixed, it takes almost an emergency to change it. If people want to come to your house for a friendly visit, they will usually call first to make sure it is convenient. Only very close friends will just “drop by” unannounced. Also, people hesitate to call others late at night for fear they might be in bed. The time may vary, but most folks think twice about calling after 10:00 pm.

Even Americans would admit that no one can master time. Time, like money, slips all too easily through our finger. And time, like the weather, is very hard to predict. However, time is one of life’s most precious gifts.

1.The main idea of the passage is _______.

A. time is money                      B. different attitude toward time in the world

C. how to save time                   D. how Americans treat time

2.In the fourth paragraph, the writer mainly tells us that _________.

A. Americans respect others’ time in daily life

B. Americans seldom call after 10:00

C. Americans inform before paying a visit to their friends

D. when planning an event, Americans usually fix time ahead of time

3.The underlined phrase “think twice” (in Paragraph 4) probably means “_______ “.

A. think for a second time            B. be careful

C. be afraid                      D. pay attention

4.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A. Americans like time better than anything else

B. generally speaking, Americans respect their time

C. on the whole, Americans treasure their time

D. Americans consider their time is difficult to master and predict
