Ask anybody out there, what is the most important thing in his life – Fame, Fortune and Money, and there is a chance that he is going to say, money, because with that, fame and fortune comes quite easily. On the other hand, if you add “family” to these three choices given above, there is a chance that 99% of the people are going to put their family first, especially if they happen to be ladies!

The main reason is because nature has created a woman to be the cherisher and the nurturer (哺育者) of the family, while the man is the hunter and protector of his little family. That is the natural rule which has come down through thousands of years. Even if a person happens to be a comparatively worldly-wise person and has no idea of taking on the responsibility of a family, he has a picture of a tight little loving unit in his subconscious (潜意识).

They tell a story about a successful millionaire businessman who died and the whole city came to pay its respects. One of his business competitors, met the son and said, “We are really going to miss your father. You see, I knew your father well.” And the son replied, “You happen to be really lucky there, because I never did.” So, you might be an extremely successful person in your own right upon Wall Street, but if your little child fails to come running out to welcome his daddy at the end of the day to be swung up in his father’s arms and held there lovingly and protectively, you come in the “nothing” category in the business of life.

Many people are under the impression that taking on the responsibility of the family is quite tiresome, but they do not know what it takes to be a parent. It is very easy to be a biological father or a biological mother, but the real mother and the real father is that person who stays awake all night when the baby is teething, teaches him right from wrong, is there to hold him when he takes his first steps, and in every way shows that he is there to cherish (珍惜) and protect the little one from harm.

There was a man who did not believe in family, because of an unhappy childhood. But he found a faithful woman to love him unconditionally. The moment he picked up his little baby, he said, “Well son, welcome to the world! I am here to teach you what your mama has taught me, and we shall both protect you, when you need our help. I will teach you to be a good, just and fair man.”

1.The writer writes Para.1 to _________.

A. introduce the topic　　　　 B. raise a question

C. present the survey　　　　 D. make a comparison

2.What does the underlined expression “loving unit” ( Para.2) most probably refer to ?

A. Lover.　　　　　　　　 B. Family.　　　　　　 C. Child.　　　　　　　　　　 D. Life.

3.In the writer’s view, the millionaire businessman ________.

A. won respect from the whole city

B. was fortunate to have a loving son

C. achieved great success in his life

D. was a failure in the business of life

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

A. men care little about their families

B. a happy childhood shapes a good man

C. family responsibility means a great deal

D. a faithful wife makes a family complete

5.What might be the title for the passage?

You will go to college some day and college is one of the most exciting stages of one’s life.If you wish to make the most of your campus(校园) experience and become a better person after those four years，then first you ought to make friends.Close friends contribute to your self­growth for they provide you with moral support that is so important to survive the stressful college life.Friends can lend a helping hand when necessary like collecting your homework when you’re too sick to leave your dorm，and help you develop the right attitude by pointing out to you your weaknesses.

You might not like all of your professors，but they are there to provide knowledge you need to be successful in your chosen field.Thus，show up for each class with the right attitude and determination to learn.Whether you get along well with your professors or not has a huge effect on your self­growth as it is a measure of how well you can respect authority and obey requirements.

Actively participating in a class debate(辩论) or lecture contributes to your self­growth as it helps you build confidence in speaking up and improves your communication skills.It also helps you develop the right attitude by exercising diplomacy(外交术) when you choose your words carefully especially when discussing a very politically sensitive issue and exercising patience when dealing with classmates who shoot down your ideas.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

My grandfather spent most of his life in a turbulent (动乱的) India. After settling in New York, he took up his true passion: gardening.

Grandfather’s garden was where I took refuge (避难) from a world of adults and schoolwork. My grandfather cultivated squash (南瓜) and tomatoes — it was not rare to find me somewhere in the garden, either secretly eating a tomato, or just sitting and admiring my grandfather’s hard work. However, as time went by, I did not have the chance to visit his house as often as I used to.

On my eleventh birthday, I received a gift bag wrapped in pretty paper from my grandfather. Excited to see what he had given to me for my birthday, I tore apart the paper only to find a yellow squash. I was very angry. What a stupid present!

But gradually, I realized that in my developing a relationship with his garden, I had unknowingly grown very close to my grandfather himself, something he wished to remind me of through his gift. His commitment towards doing things definitely influenced me. It could bring him a sense of accomplishment. Because of him, I try to model the idea of approaching everything with both drive and passion.

My grandfather passed away five years ago, but his influence on me could not be bigger than it is today. As I prepare to enter college and move on from my relatively sheltered high school life toward achieving complete independence, allowing my passions to find their way into whatever I may be doing will be very necessary. I still look up to my grandfather very much to this day, and I hope that one day I will be able to sow in my own garden, and give someone else a squash on his or her birthday — it was the most meaningful gift I have ever received.

1. When the author was young, she often visited the garden mainly to ______.

A. have a taste of her favorite vegetables

B. help her grandfather cultivate the garden

C. escape from the adults and schoolwork

D. admire her grandfather’s hard work

2. When the author saw the squash gift from her grandfather, she was ______.

A. excited　　 B. confused

C. curious　　 D. upset

3. Why did the grandfather send the author a squash?

A. Squash was the author’s favorite vegetable.

B. Squash was the greatest achievement of him.

C. He wanted to remind the author that they had been close.

D. He wanted the author to follow his career.

4. What’s the best title for the text?

B. Grandfather and India

C. Life with Grandfather

D. Gardening and Life
