Teenage life is quite dramatic but that doesn't mean you cannot enjoy your life in these years. Even with your daily troubles, your life is not very hard if you know how to deal with them.

I know exactly how you feel. Life as a teenager can be hard. You are not a kid anymore, because you are smart enough to observe and analyze your surroundings. However, you are still not an adult because there are still lots of experiences that you need to have and lessons that you need to learn from these experiences. To top it all, the hormonal (荷尔蒙的)imbalance in you body can really mess you up emotionally. I have been there. I was in it for 6 years exploring what life is about.

As a teenager, I had a major problem completing my chores on time. And at that time, all that I needed to do was to finish my assignments, study for the upcoming test and clean my room. Now, I have much more things to do: cooking, cleaning and working while striking a balance between all my relationships related to work, family and friends. That really is a lot of work. So, I will just give you one golden tip, quoting from Benjamin Franklin," Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today."

Life becomes much easier now because I finish all my work on time and I have enough time to let my hair down. Half the problems as a teenager are because we hate doing things. We'd rather go and have fun than sit down and take care of our duties and responsibilities. That is why you have so much trouble in your life; your parents won't let you go out with friends because you haven't cleaned your room or your teacher is always criticizing you because you haven't finished your assignments.

1.What does the writer mainly want to tell us in paragraph 1 ?

A.Teenage life is tough. B.Teenagers can't enjoy life.

C.Teenage life is changeable. D.Teenagers should learn more.

2.What plays a key role in making teenage life hard according to the writer?

A.The adolescent changes. B.The lack of life experience.

C.The failure of concentration. D.The unfamiliar surroundings.

3.How did the writer feel about her teenage life?

A.It was difficult. B.It was simple.

C.It was enjoyable. D.It was boring.

4.What does the writer advise teenagers to do?

A.Abandon their friends. B.Go and have fun.

C.Complete their homework. D.Shoulder the burden.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

No one gets through life without experiencing many disappointments. Strangely, though, most people seem unprepared for disappointment and react to it in negative ways. They feel depressed or try to escape from their troubles instead of using disappointment as an opportunity for growth.

One negative reaction to disappointment is depression. A woman trying to win a promotion, for example, works hard for over a year in her department. Helen is so sure she will get the promotion. However, the boss names one of Helen’s co-workers for the spot. Deeply depressed, Helen loses her enthusiasm for her job and can barely force herself to show up every day. Helen tells herself that she is a failure and that doing a good job just isn’t worth the work.

Another negative reaction to disappointment is the desire to escape. Kevin fails to get into the college his brother is attending, the college that was the focus of all his dreams, and decides to escape his disappointment. Why worry about college at all? Instead, he covers up his real feelings by giving up on his school-work and getting completely involved with friends, parties, and “good times”.

The positive way to react to disappointment is to use it as a chance for growth. This isn’t easy, but it's the only useful way to deal with an inevitable part of life. Helen, the woman who was not promoted, could have handled her disappointment by looking at other options. If her boss did not recognize her talent and hard work, perhaps she could transfer to another department. Or she could ask the boss how to improve her performance so that she could prepare for the next promotion. Kevin, the boy who didn't get into the college of his choice, should look into other schools. Going to another college may encourage him to be his own person, step out of his brother's shadow, and realize that being turned down by one college isn't a final judgment on his abilities or potential.

Disappointments are unwelcome, but regular visitors to everyone’s life. We can feel depressed about them or we can try to escape from them. The best thing, though, is to accept a disappointment and then try to use it somehow: Step over the unwelcome visitor on the doorstep and get on with life.

1.In this passage, the author _____.

A. analyzes the cause of disappointment

B. describes his personal experience in dealing with disappointment

C. criticizes Helen and Kevin's negative responses to disappointment

D. offers specific examples of the ways people deal with disappointment

2.From the context, the word “option” (Para.4) means _____.

A. way                  B. choice

C. place                 D. job

3.In the author's opinion, Helen should ______ instead of feeling depressed.

A. work even harder to get better than her promoted co-worker

B. stand the pressure and competition

C. win a good opinion from the boss by seeking his advice

D. move into another department to have her talent and hard work appreciated

4.Which of the following best expresses the main ides of this selection?

A. Disappointment is an inevitable part of life and we have to handle it in a positive way.

B. Life is made up of a series of disappointments. We have to accept them.

C. There are two kinds of reactions to disappointment.

D. Most people react to disappointment in negative ways.

Handshaking, though a European practice, is now often seen in big cities of China. Nobody knows exactly when the practice started in Europe. It is said that long long ago in Europe when people met, they showed their unarmed (无武器的) hands to each other as a sign of goodwill. As time went on and trade in cities grew rapidly, people in cities began to clap each other' s hands to make a deal or to reach an agreement. This practice was later changed into shaking hands among friends on meeting or leaving each other. "Let' s shake (hands) on it" sometimes means agreement reached.

Do the Europeans shake hands wherever they go and with whomever they meet? No. Sometimes the Chinese abroad reach out their hands too often to be polite. It is really very impolite to give your hand when the other party, especially when it is a woman, shows little interest in shaking hands with you and when the meeting does not mean anything to him or her. Even if, for politeness, he holds out his unwilling hand in answer to your uninvited hand, just touch it slightly. There is generally a misunderstanding(误解) among the Chinese that westerners are usually open and straightforward, while the Chinese are rather reserved (保守的) in manner. But in fact some people in western countries are more reserved than some Chinese today. So it is a good idea to shake hands with a westerner only when he shows interest in further relations with you.

1.In the old days in Europe, people put out their unarmed hands to each other______

A. to make a deal                      B. to greet each other

C. to show friendliness                    D. to reach an agreement

2.The first paragraph mainly tells us_______.

A. where handshaking was first practiced

B. how handshaking came about

C. about the relationship between handshaking and trade

D. about the practice of handshaking both in Europe and in China

3.According to the text, which of the following statements is true?

A. Westerners are more reserved than the Chinese.

B. Westerners are unwilling to shake hands.

C. We should make a judgment before shaking hands.

D. We shouldn’t' t shake hands with European women.

4.The main purpose of the text is______.

A. to tell us some differences between the East and the West

B. to offer us some important facts about handshaking

C. to introduce us to some different customs in the West

D. to give us some advice before we travel abroad
