An older friend once gave me a piece of advice, “Enjoy the last few weeks of college,” she said, “since college is the best time of your life.”

This was not the first time I’d heard such a statement, but with graduation fast coming close, her words especially struck me. It seemed a bit disappointing to reach one's life peak at only 22 years of age, but in her opinion, college had been one of the best times in my life so far. I made friends, took classes, and learned a great deal about myself. But I was also excited for the time after college—moving to a new city, starting a new job, and becoming a "real" person. I hoped that my great dreams were practical.

Then, last week I read a column in Real Simple Magazine called 100 Years of Attitude, in which women 100 years or older shared their life experiences and views. I noticed that none of them considered college as the "best" time of their life. Not all of them went to college, but still in most cases their teens and twenties were not the best times of their life. They said some of their favorite times were raising their children, traveling after retirement, and even enjoying their present time and age.

Enjoying one's present time and age was a clear theme of the interviews. A piece of advice given by the women was about the importance of making the best of all situations. I think it more accurate than that of my friend; I can say with certainty that if I am lucky enough to make it to 100, I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting (跌落) downhill, or even leveling off.

I am sure that our eagerness and devotion will make us college students live a meaningful life. We will not just look backwards or miss our college days. We will look forward in excitement about continued journey uphill.

1.Which of the following opinions does the writer agree with?

A. College is the best time of one’s life.

B. Twenties were the best time of the old people.

C. One should make the best of all situations.

D. One should not look backwards at their college time.

2.In the second paragraph, the writer wants to say ______.

A. her achievements in college would be the peak of her success

B. she is looking forward to living as a “real” person in college

C. she becomes more and more uneasy with graduation

D. she is satisfied with the college life but is hopeful for the future

3.The column the writer read is mainly about those old women’s ______.

A. best time of life at youth                                             B. life experiences and views

C. different opinions about life                                       D. favorite time with best friends

4.By saying “I refuse to spend the last 80 years of my life plummeting downhill, or even leveling off” (in Paragraph 4), the writer really means ______.

A. she will not spend the rest of her time at college

B. she will not just obtain a college level certificate

C. she will not be satisfied with what she has already accomplished

D. she will not be content with the life in the future

Be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice. The friend who advises you to, say, stay in your relationship or leave your job may well be looking out for you; but she' s inescapably looking out for herself, too, whether she realises it or not.

Moreover, research suggests that people will generally advise you to act more cautiously than they would act themselves in a similar situation — perhaps because they don’t want to feel guilty if you take a daring leap and fall flat on your face.

There's a happy side to this, though, for parents, teachers, managers and anyone else who finds themselves in the position of needing to motivate others: far better than giving them advice is to give them the opportunity to give advice. A new study found that American middle-school pupils were much more enthusiastic about doing their homework after giving advice on the topic to younger children, as compared with after receiving advice from teachers. This motivational effect lasted weeks, and was also observed among adults who were attempting to lose weight, save money, control their temper or find a job. This result isn’t all that surprising, 1 suppose, when you consider how happy it feels to be invited to give advice. Faced with a challenge, we tend to assume we need to seek advice in order to obtain more knowledge about how to give advice; yet the truth, very often, is that we know exactly what we need to do — we just lack the confidence to do it.

This, by the way, is another good reason to keep a journal: you can use it to advise yourself. Your friends may have limited patience with your habit of lecturing them on their lives in order to feel better about your own, but a leather-effect notebook never complains.

Finally, this is a reminder that there are few bigger compliments (恭维) you can pay another person than to ask for their advice. Benjamin Franklin famously observed that to flatter (奉承) someone, it’s better to ask for a favour than to perform one: the favour-doer will come to think of you as the likable sort for whom they do favours.

1.Why should you be careful of those solid gold pieces of advice?

A.They may be practical.

B.They may be rewarding.

C.They may be demanding.

D.They may be conservative.

2.The examples in Paragraph 3 suggest that people giving advice　　 .

A.become more motivated to act

B.should turn to others for advice

C.are superior to the professionals

D.usually lack relevant knowledge

3.What does the author want to convey by mentioning Benjamin Franklin?

A.Keeping a journal is a good habit.

B.You should be polite to the favour-doers.

C.You should be patient with your listeners.

D.Asking for a favour pleases the favour-doers.

If I could give everyone one piece of advice about the college application process, it would be this: 　 1.

Be different from the beginning. Don't wait until the summer after junior year, or worse, the fall of senior year to begin this process. 2. You might be seeing the stress in seniors who are frantically (疯狂地) visiting colleges, writing essays, and completing applications.

3. Do some research and think beyond the "usual suspects" (备选) before you find the most suitable choice. Colleges compare students from the same high school with the same measuring stick since they read all the applications together. If your coursework and test scores don't look good enough, it will be more challenging to be accepted. However, your leadership or special talents may be more impressive if you are one of only a few students applying to a certain college.

Be different in the activities you choose and follow your interests, not your friends. 4. It could be tutoring, the environment, dancing, writing, or starting a business, but take part for the right reasons. Your activities should be meaningful and tell a story about who you are.

Be different in what you write about in your essay to stand out. It is the one tool that gives you total control, so use it wisely. Write what you want them to know about you, not what you think they want to read. Brainstorming your essay topic is a self-reflection process. 5. Find something unique.

A. Try to develop your talents.

B. Be different in preparing your college list.

C. Stay away from topics that everyone writes about.

D. Dare to be different.

E. Imagine what people are usually interested in.

F. Starting early will relieve much stress.

G. Find something that matters to you or something you care about.

One of the requirements of every graduation ceremony speaker is that they offer some advice. Well, get ready, here it comes.

Soon you will be leaving the company of those who think they have all the answers –your professors, instructors and counselors-and going out into what we like to call the real world.

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

A scientist turns out to be able to see the future by offering each of some four-year-olds a piece of candy and watching how he or she deals with it. Some children reach eagerly for the treat they see. Some last a few minutes before they give in. But others are determined to wait until the last moment.

By the time the children reach high school, something remarkable has happened. A survey found that those who as four-year-olds had enough self-control to hold out generally grew up to be more popular, adventurous, confident and dependable. The children who gave in to temptation(诱惑) early were more likely to be lonely, easily frustrated and inflexible(固守己见的).

Actually, the ability to delay reward is a sign of emotional intelligence which doesn’t show up on an IQ test.

The hardware of the brain and the software of the mind have long been scientists’ concerns. But brain theory can’t explain what we wonder about most, like the question why some people remain upbeat in the face of troubles that would sink a less resistant soul.

Here comes the theory of Daniel Goleman, writer of Emotional Intelligence: when it comes to predicting people’s success, brain ability as measured by IQ may actually matter less than the qualities of mind once thought of as “character”.

EQ is not the opposite of IQ. What researchers have been trying to understand is how they work together; how one’s ability to handle stress, for instance, affects the ability to concentrate and put intelligence to use. Among the elements for success, researchers now generally agree that IQ counts for about 20%; the rest depends on everything from social class to luck.

While many researchers in this relatively new field are glad to see emotional issues finally taken seriously, some few fear EQ invites misuse.

1.The experiment with the four-year-olds makes it clear that ______.

A. the age of 4 is a proper time for scientific experiment

B. emotional intelligence won’t show up until adolescence

C. the ability of self-control plays a role in personal success

D. candy can be used to measure a person’s emotional intelligence

2.Which of the following is True of EQ and IQ according to the text?

A. There is no link between EQ and IQ.

B. The higher a person’s IQ is, the higher his or her EQ is.

C. Some people can be blessed with lots of both, but some with little of either.

D. Scientists are trying to discover the way in which EQ and IQ work together.

3.The underlined word “upbeat” in Paragraph 4 probably means ______.

A. kind　　　　　 B. floating

C. excited　　　 D. optimistic]

4.What is most likely to be written in the paragraph that follows?

A. Information about famous people with high EQ.

B. Examples showing the opposite voice about EQ.

C. Some reasons why EQ is a relatively new field.

D. Strong demand for basic emotional education.
