Most of the time, people are well aware of the circumstances of exchange: they exchange this for that. But in the rare circumstances when they’ve not prepared with gift-giving in return, they can be _________ with feelings of guilt. Receiving a gift, Jacques Derrida, a French thinker, thought, could make one feel like a _________ trapped in a cycle of economic exchange. People don’t like the feeling of being under obligation (人情债) , and try to dismiss the _________ they can feel as quickly as possible.

Private gift-giving, as the Frankfurt school theorist Theodor Adorno worried, has become an empty procedure. There’s no denying that in at least some cases, people give gifts _________. This has less to do with gift-giving itself, and more to do with the choosing of gifts. Gift-giving looks like an obligation, and a fairly _________one at that. Sure, there is giving gifts to lovers, friends and family. But then there is also the world of gift-giving like Secret Santa Claus, practices that keep gift-giving routines going well _________ the circles of people we know well enough to make choosing presents _________.

For these forced occasions, for, say, the coworker we’ve never spoken to, there are pre-printed cards and commercial guides. Even when the receiver is well-known, people want to _________ the effort needed for gifting. A relative once sent me a gift basket of dried fruit, nuts and cured meats; both the offending party and I are vegetarians.

If gift-giving has become more transaction (交易的), with the give-and-take a(n) _________ itself, so has complimenting.

This ____________ choice — fulfill your obligation to return the ____________ or resign yourself to guilt — comes from belonging to a society structured around commodities and their ____________.The trouble is, if compliments are transactions, feeling that we’re under obligation is a natural state of affairs. To imagine that we could completely overcome our ways of thinking about compliments, ____________, requires ____________ our social and economic forms of life. ____________ a difficult demand, this could be the true gift Adorno and Derrida were hoping for.

Sometimes educators need to be reminded that their job is important and they are very much appreciated. Here are some movies that inspire us and make educators feel proud to be in the field of education where they really do have an impact.

The Miracle Worker

The ultimate teaching miracle, Anne Bancroft is awesome as Annie Sullivan who uses ‘tough love' to get through to the deaf and blind Helen Keller played by Patty Duke. Very few people can watch the famous ‘water' scene without experiencing a feeling of victory and relief. Excellent portrayal of the importance of perseverance. Both Bancroft and Duke won an Academy Award for their performances.

The Karate Kid

While not normally thought of as a ‘classroom' movie, The Karate Kid has much to say to teachers: Sometimes we have to have our students do things that they will not understand until much later; Basic skills are most important; Honor and integrity are central to character; Students need to see us beam with excitement over their achievements. A fun, nostalgic and inspiring movie to relish.

To Sir With Love

Produced in 1967, this film with Sidney Poitier as a novice teacher has a lot to teach us today. Poitier takes a teaching position in the rough part of London in order to pay his bills. Realizing that his students need to be taught important life lessons more than the curriculum he has been handed to teach them, he throws out the lesson plans and makes a real impact on their personal lives.

A study notes that Some children are natural-born bosses. They have a strong need to make decisions, manage their environment, and lead rather than follow. Stephen Jackson, a Year One student, "operates under the theory of what's mine is mine and what's yours is mine," says his mother."The other day I bought two new Star Wars light sabers (剑). Later, I saw Stephen with the two new ones while his brogher was using the beat-up ones."

"Examine the extended family, and you'll probably find a bossy grandparent, aunt, uncle or cousin in every generation. It's a common inheritable trait," says Russell Barkley, a professor at the Medical University of South Carolina. Other children who may not be particularly bossy can gradually gain control　 when they sense their parents are weak, hesitant, or in disagreement with each other.

Whether it's inborn nature or developed character at work, too much control in the hands at the young isn't healthy for children or the family, Fear is at the root of a lot of bossy behavior, says family psychologist John Taylor. Children, he says in his book From Defiance to Cooperation, "have secret feelings of weakness" and "a desire to feel safe." It's the parents' role to provide that protection.

When a "boss child" doesn't learn limits at home, the stage is set for a host of troubles outside the family. The overly willful and unbending child may have trouble obeying teachers or coaches, for example, or trouble keeping friends. It can be pretty lonely as the top dog if no one likes your bossy ways.

"I see more and more parents giving up their power," says Barkley, who has studied bossy behavior for more than 30 years."They bend too far because they don't want to be as strict as their own parents were. But they also feel less confident about their parenting skills. Their kids, in turn, feel more anxious."

1.Bossy children like Stephen Jackson _____.

A. make good decisions

B. show self-centeredness

C. lack care from others

D. have little sense of fear

2.The underlined phrase "inheritable trait" in Paragraph 2 means _____.

A. inborn nature　　　　 　　 B. accepted theory

C. developed character　　 D. particular environment

3.The study on bossy behavior implies that parents _____.

A. should not set limits for their children

B. should give more power to their children

C. should be strict with their children　 properly

D. should let children find sense of safety by themselves

4.It can be inferred from the last two paragraphs　 that bossy children may become

A.relaxed and confident　 B. hesitant and weak

C.lonely and anxious　　 D.willful and unbending

高三英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

It’s often said of British people that they are very aware of each other’s social rank. Britons can usually work out a fellow countryman’s background from the way they speak or dress, and may even treat them differently based on this. But although this may have been truer in the past than it is today, visitors to Britain say that they still notice it. The comic play Pygmalion (1913), by the Irishman George Bernard Shaw (1856-1950), is a famous exploration of the importance of social rank in British society.

The main story of the play concerns a working class girl, Eliza Doolittle, a flower seller from London. Two upper class gentlemen try to see if they can get Doolittle to appear like an upper class lady after sending her for elocution lessons. Professor Henry Higgins, a language expert, says it can be done; his friend Colonel Pickering says that it’s impossible. Even so, Higgins sets out to teach Eliza how to “speak properly”.

Of course, Eliza isn’t a lump of clay; she has her own will. She can see that it’s in her best interest to go along with Higgins’ plan to “improve herself”. She wants to be able to sell flowers in a shop rather than on the street. After the training, Eliza proves that a flower girl can pass herself off as a lady at a ball. She is a triumph (赢家), and Higgins has won his bet.

But what happens next? Eliza has her future to worry about. She may be able to fool the upper class into thinking she’s one of them, but she isn’t really one of them.

Shaw seems to be telling us that social rank is about more than the way someone talks-it’s about wealth and privilege. The whole experiment proves the idea that accents and classes are very superficial (肤浅的). The way one speaks and dresses are only markers of class. The class system itself, however, is something completely different.

1.What can we learn about speaking and dressing from Paragraph 1?

A. They determine Britons’ social rank.

B. Britons are stricter in them nowadays.

C. Britons no longer care about them.

D. They could affect others’ opinion of a person.

2.Which can replace the underlined word “elocution”?

A. dress　　 B. manners

C. speech　　 D. dance

3.What happens to Eliza Doolittle during the experiment?

A. She is forced to give up selling flowers on the street.

B. She is unwilling to participate in the experiment.

C. She is thought of as an upper-class lady at the hall.

D. She is hopeful about her future.

4.Which of the following would Shaw probably agree with?

A. One can enter the upper class after receiving training.

B. People should try their best to improve their accents.

C. The way people speak greatly affects their social status.

D. Social rank can t he judged by dressing or speaking.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

From the loss of wildlife to rising sea levels, we’re all well aware of the problems that climate change could cause.

But while it may seem like such issues won’t affect most of us directly, it looks like future generations could grow up without something that many of us now take for granted: chocolate.

According to an essay published by the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, changes to the climate in the regions that produce cacao – the plant from which chocolate is produced – may mean that it will soon become extinct.

Most of the world’s cacao grows in countries close to the equator(赤道), with over half of it growing in the African nations of Ghana and Ivory Coast.

It’s predicted that by 2050, climate change will have accelerated the rate at which temperatures in these countries rise, making it extremely difficult for cacao to grow there.

The problem doesn’t lie in increased heat, however, but in lower humidity (湿度), as it’s believed that rainfall will stay at the same level if the temperature rises.

“In other words, as higher temperatures squeeze more water out of soil and plants, it’s unlikely that rainfall will increase enough to offset the moisture(水分) loss,” Michon Scott, the essay’s author, wrote.

To help fight this problem, researchers from Berkeley University in the US are working on changing the DNA of cacao plants to allow them to survive in dryer conditions by using geneediting technology, according to US News.

In the meantime, US company Mars, one of the world’s biggest manufacturers of chocolate products, announced in January that it would spend $1 billion (6.33 billion yuan) to help reduce the effects of climate change.

“This is a world issue, and it requires everyone to work together,” Mars spokesperson Barry Parkin told Business Insider.

The message here is that if we all do our part, we may be able to prevent some of the worst impacts of climate change. Or if we’re unlucky, chocolate will become a thing of the past.

1.What could make it hard for cacao to grow around the equator in the future?

A.the higher temperatures there

B.the higher humidity there

C.the increase in rainfall there

D.the moisture loss in the soil there

2.What did Barry Parkin suggest?

A.No man is an island.

B.Every little bit counts.

C.United we stand; divided we fall.

D.Wish for the best; prepare for the worst.

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.UC Berkeley is trying to find a substitute for cacao.

B.Cacao can only be found in most African countries.

C.Climate changes can be controlled if we are lucky.

D.Mars will financially support the fight against climate changes.

4.What is the passage mainly about?

A.The origin of chocolate.

B.The future of chocolate.

C.The history of chocolate.

D.The ingredients of chocolate.
