A girl had to usually face adversity(逆境). One day, she couldn't help complaining to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She didn’t know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them into the water and boil, without saying a word.

The daughter waited impatiently, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He made the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in another bowl. Then he poured the coffee out and placed it in a cup. Turning to her, he asked, “What do you see?” “Carrots, eggs and coffee,” she replied.

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled, as she tasted its rich aroma(香味). She humbly asked, “What does it mean, Father?”

He explained that each of them had faced the same hardship, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot had been strong and hard. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been easily broken. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after going through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique. After they were in the boiling water, they changed the water. “Which are you?” he asked his daughter. “When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?”

How about you, my friend? Are you the carrot that seems hard, but with pain and adversity you move back and become soft and lose your strength? Are you the egg, which starts off with a flexible heart? Were you a liquid spirit, but after a breakup, a divorce, or a layoff have you become hardened and stiff? Your shell looks the same, but are you bitter and tough with a stiff heart? Or are you like the coffee bean? The bean changes the hot water, the thing that is bringing the pain. When the water gets the hottest, it just tastes better. If you are like the bean, when things are at their worst, you get better and make things better around you.

Ask yourself how you handle adversity. Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

1.The father took his daughter to the kitchen in order to ____________.

A. introduce her to a new kind of coffee　　 B. help her solve the problems she met

C. tell her how to deal with hardship　　 D. tell her what real life should be like

2.According to the passage, it is most likely that the father is ____________.

A. strict　　 B. patient

C. humorous　　 D. proud

3.The father used the boiled water to stand for _____________.

A. her daughter　　 B. their life

C. their family　　 D. the hardship

4.From the passage, we can infer that ________________.

A. people like carrots are easy to be defeated

B. people like eggs must have a willing heart

C. the carrot must be far harder than the egg

D. the egg should be stronger than the carrot

In 2003, Bethany Hamilton,13, lost her left arm to a shark attack while surfing off Kauai, Hawaii. A new film ,Soul Surfer, is based on the story of how she overcame that to achieve her dream of becoming a professional athlete.

Growing up on the “garden isle” of Kauai, Hamilton spent every minute she could riding the waves. She was on the verge of (即将) becoming a top competitor in professional surfing. But while she was practicing at an isolated cove (小湾)，a four-meter-long tiger shark ripped off her left arm. Though her life was saved, nobody could imagine she would ever get back on a surfboard again.

In a true test of her faith and by tremendous will power, Bethany did get back up on a surfboard only a month after the attack. Six months later, she was competing again. Bethany Hamilton won her first amateur surfing championship just two years after she lost her arm. She also established the “Friends of Bethany,” a non---profit foundation dedicated to supporting sharks attack victims.

It’s a story told in her autobiography, which is the basis for the film that stars teenager Anna Sophia Robb. “I knew Bethany’s story, of course, but I thought ‘What an incredible role’ ,”explains Robb. “I was so fascinated by all of the challenges. What would it be like to have your arm taken and what would go through your head and how would your faith be challenged?”

The filmmakers used special effects to digitally remove Robb’ s arm .However ,no tricks were necessary for the surfing scenes because Hamilton herself did the breathtaking wave riding.

Now 21, Hamilton says she hopes audiences find inspiration in the description of the sport she loves.

“Not a lot of people know that much about surfing, so I hope they’re educated about it,” Hamilton says. “And most of all if people are going through a hard time, they could be encouraged and find inspiration to push through those hard times and see that, in my case ,so much good has come out of it.”

1.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?.

2.Which of the following can best take the place of the underlined word “tremendous” in the third paragraph?

3.What can we learn from Anna Sophia Robb’s words?

4.How does Hamilton hope people will be affected by her story?

5.What can we learn from the passage?

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

One day when I was 5, my mother scolded me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry motion to open the screen door with my foot, I had kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.

Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股) for such behavior. They never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.

For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly remind me of my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all.

My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

1.The underlined word “remorse” in Paragraph 1 most probably means ________.

A. injury　　 B. sense　　 C. regret　　 D. notice

2.When the author damaged the door, his parents ________.

A. scolded him for what he had done　　 B. gave him a spanking

C. told him how expensive it was　　 D. left the door unrepaired

3.How did the author feel every time he saw the damaged door?

A. He felt it destroyed the happy atmosphere at his home.

B. He found that his family members no longer liked him.

C. He felt ashamed of his uncontrolled anger at that time.

D. He felt he had to work hard to make up for the damage.

4.The experience may cause the author ________.

A. to have a better control of himself

B. not to go against his parents’ will

C. to hide his anger away from others

D. not to make mistakes in the future

5.What is the main idea of this text?

A. Parents are the best teachers of their children.

B. What is the best way to become a more patient person.

C. Adults should ignore their children’s bad behavior.

D. Silent punishment may have a better effect on educating people.
