We Americans are wasteful people, not used to saving. Early settlers, our forefathers set us an example of wasting everything, for they thought nature’s resources were so plentiful that none of them ever imagined that natural materials would be used up in time. Within a few years of the first Virginia settlement, for example, pioneers burned down their houses when they were ready to move west. They burned down their houses with only one aim to get the nails（钉子）for future use. No one ever gave a thought to the priceless hardwoods that went up in smoke. As a people we destroy many valuable things that other people save. I noticed this when I was living in Britain. I received a letter from one England’s largest banks. It was enclosed in a used envelope（信封）that had been readdressed to me. Such a practice would be unthinkable in the United States. American banks, even the smallest, always use expensive stationery（信笺）with the names of all twenty - eight vice – presidents lists on side of the page.

高二英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

Our oldest daughter is having trouble letting go of an old red couch.

It’s not the couch she’s having trouble letting go of as much as the memories. It was their first sofa. It has been loaded and unloaded onto moving trucks seven times. Three kids have eaten on it, dripped on it, and jumped on it.

Yet she’s having a hard time letting go and asked if I thought that was strange.

“Completely,” I said. “You get it from me.”

When we were ready to get rid of our baby things, I sold our crib (婴儿床) at the neighborhood garage sale. I had pieces of it in the garage and the other pieces of it still in the house. A young woman said she wanted to buy it.

My throat tightened and the tears began to well. She pulled out cash and I perked up.

But by the time I returned with the other pieces to the crib, I was all sobbing. “Have you considered that maybe you’re not ready to sell it?” the woman asked.

“No-o-o-o,” I cried. “It’s fine, really,” I said. “Take it.”

Our attachment to stuff grows in direct relationship to the amount of time it has sat in one place. The longer it sits, the harder it is to get rid of it. You think: “Hey, we’ve hung onto it this long – it must be valuable!” As though yellowing and a layer of dust increase value.

People who find it extremely hard to part with things have been made into entertainment in a television show called Hoarders. If an episode of that isn’t depressing enough for you, producers now offer Extreme Hoarders. Both of which are not to be outdone by Storage Wars, a show about aggressive people who bid (出价) on other people’s storage units.

Let the sofa go, I told my daughter. It served its purpose. You can get a new one. Give the kids some crackers and juice and it will be like the old one in six weeks.

1.What does the author mean by saying the underlined sentence “You get it from me”?

A. “You can get another sofa from me.”

B. “You can get mental support from me.”

C. “You behave just the same way I do.”

D. “You are asking the right person to help you.”

2.When the writer was selling the crib, _____.

A. she felt relieved that there was someone willing to buy it.

B. she showed a strong attachment to the old item.

C. she couldn’t decide whether or not to sell it in the end.

D. she changed her mind in hopes of keeping it and increasing its value.

3.The writer refers to the television shows to _____.

A. prove that it’s depressing to get attached to old stuff

B. explain what contributes to people’s attachment to old stuff

C. show that people in TV shows live the same lives as ordinary people do

D. prove that it’s actually common for people to find it hard to abandon old stuff

4.Which opinion might the writer agree with according to the article?

A. If you give away old stuff regularly, you are wasteful.

B. If the old stuff has done what it was supposed to, then let it go.

C. Nothing is more valuable than your love for your old stuff.

D. The older your stuff is, the less trouble you have getting rid of it.

5.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

A. Family Ties.

B. Sofa of Memories.

C. Values of Old Things.

D. Attachments to Things.

高二英语完型填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

It's an unquestioned truth of modern life that we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally do everything we want. But this idea has been completely backward. 1. We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.

Do we really have no time? “I don' t have time" often means” It's not a priority(优先事项)". Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch to accommodate what we choose to put into it. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time; 2.Actually it's a matter of choice.

How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into the next year's performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on next year. 3.

4. Scientists find the really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call the "low opportunity cost" time. Most of us do not sit there on Friday afternoon saying, "I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now." But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time on Friday afternoon, and make a list of three-category priorities: careers, relationships and self.

It's about looking at the whole of one's time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. 5. And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in time we’ve got.

A. it's that we are too busy with it.

B. it's that we don’t want to do it.

C. When do we plan our priorities?

D. Make sure there's time for the important things.

E. We don't build the lives we want by saving time.

F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.

G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.
