The first thing I do in the mornings is look ...

The first thing I do in the mornings is look at my phone. That's mainly because my phone is my alarm clock, but once my eyes are open and that screen is lit up in my hands, it's an awfully short trip to check emails and pursue headlines. There's no reason for me to doing this. My emails that early in the morning are mainly junk, and the headlines won't change much before I' ve brushed my teeth and poured a cup of coffee, right?

My wife says I'm addicted to my phone, I disagree, but I can definitely stand to spend less time looking at it. I'm not terribly active on social media, but I do enjoy me some idle scrolling. And, wow, do these tech companies know how to keep those thumbs constantly swiping up? We've got a daughter. and while I think we're pretty good about limiting her screen time, it would seem that technology has fascinated me from the start. So, I decided to try loosening my phone's grasp on my attention by switching the screen to black and white.

Changing the display to black and white is very easy.　 In your iPhone's settings(设置) , choose General(通用功能) , then Accessibility(辅助功能).　 Next choose Display Accommodations(显示调节) , then Color Filters(滤镜).　 Tap the toggle(切换器)　 on and a list of filters appears.

Choose Grayscale and you're all set.

A. He turns off his alarm clock.

2.What does the author's wife think of the time he spends using his phone?

A. Modest use,　　 B. Over use.　　 C. Under use.　　 D. Adequate use.

When you are invited to attend a party in the West, the first important thing you need to know is that you should arrive late.

It is a great embarrassment to arrive at a party early or even on time. Therefore, unless you are the host of the party, you never want to be the first person present at a party. Why? Because others may think that you have no life or nothing better to do than wait for a party to start. Many people try to project（展现）an image（形象）of always being busy, which, whether true or not, has something to do with success. So, by arriving late, you are implying: “I live a full life and it's really exciting.”

Therefore, an 8 o'clock party usually doesn't really start until maybe 9 o'clock, as everyone wants to be thought of as a busy and important person with lots of things to do. In other words, a party is one of those rare occasions（极少数场合）in which your punctuality can actually hurt you. It's quite a strange thing, isn't it? Anyhow, remember to be late!

1.The passage is most likely to have been taken from a book about______.

A.life in the West　　　　　　　　　　 B. health and medicine

C. politics in the West　　　　　　　　 D. behavioral science

2.What is the reason that people want to be late for parties?

A.They are not the host of the party.　　　　　

B. They are too busy to arrive on time.

C. They want others to think they are busy.　　

D. They don’t want to wait for a party to start.

3.What does the word "punctuality" in the last paragraph mean?

A.Being polite　　　　　　　　　　　 B. Being late

C. Being smart　　　　　　　　　　　 D. Being on time

4.We can infer from the passage that______.

A.Sometimes people pretend to be what they want to be.

B.Lateness is not a problem when you are attending a meeting.

C.You need to be late on every occasion.

D. Going to a party can be a waste of time.

There is no sound worse than an alarm clock first thing in the morning.Some of us are the type to jolt out of bed with a smile.1. While I have a love-hate relationship with mornings,I have found that there are indeed ways to make mornings a little more bearable.

Mentally plan out your day.

One way to combat the morning blues is to mentally plan out your day right when you wake up to prepare yourself for the day.Give yourself at least one little thing to look forward to each day.2.

Meditate.

Meditation (冥想) will clear your mind and relax your body.Even just ten minutes of focused mental thought can completely clear your mind.3. Of all of them,I like Headspace best,which provides 10-minute sessions that leave you feeling relaxed,and ready to have a great day!4.

People say “look good,feel good.” If you have your outfit ready in advance,you are more likely to feel confident and mentally prepared for the day.Whether it’s a pair of jeans or a sweater,pick out clothes that you feel great in.

Go with a friend or classmate to breakfast,school,etc.

5. Sharing the first moments of the day with others will fuel your mind and let you ease into your day. Also,having a regimented (受管制的) morning routine with others will help ensure that you are on-time for school and that you have a reason to get up in the morning.

A.Put on your clothes for the night.

B.Lay out your clothes the night before.

C.Others love to exercise in the morning.

D.Mornings are best when you have good company.

E.However,for others,mornings are the worst enemy.

F.It can even be a cookie of your favorite taste on the lunch break.

G..It’s easy with the availability of apps and YouTube guided exercises out there.

The thing is，my luck’s always been ruineD． Just look at my name: Jean．Not Jean Marie，or Jeanine，or Jeanette，or even Jeanne．Just Jean．Did you know in France，they name boys Jean? It’s French for John．And okay，I don’t live in France．But still，I’m basically a girl named John．If I lived in France，anyway．

This is the kind of luck I’ve had since before Mom even filled out my birth certificate．So it wasn’t any big surprise to me when the cab driver didn’t help me with my suitcase．I’d already had to tolerate arriving at the airport to find no one there to greet me，and then got no answer to my many phone calls，asking where my aunt and uncle were．Did they not want me after all? Had they changed their minds? Had they heard about my bad luck—all the way from Iowa—and decided they didn’t want any of it to rub off on them?

So when the cab driver，instead of getting out and helping me with my bags，just pushed a little button so that the trunk (汽车后备箱) popped open a few inches，it wasn’t the worst thing that had ever happened to me．It wasn’t even the worst thing that had happened to me that day．

According to my mom，most brownstones in New York City were originally single-family homes when they were built way back in the 1800s．But now they’ve been divided up into apartments，so that there’s one—or sometimes even two or more families—per floor．

Not Mom’s sister Evelyn’s brownstone，though．Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted Gardiner own all four floors of their brownstone．That’s practically one floor per person，since Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted only have three kids，my cousins Tory，Teddy，and Alice．

Back home，we just have two floors，but there are seven people living on them．And only one bathroom．Not that I’m complaining．Still，ever since my sister Courtney discovered blow-outs，it’s been pretty frightful at home．

But as tall as my aunt and uncle’s house was，it was really narrow—just three windows across．Still，it was a very pretty townhouse，painted gray．The door was a bright，cheerful yellow．There were yellow flower boxes along the base of each window，flower boxes from which bright red—and obviously newly planted，since it was only the middle of April，and not quite warm enough for them．

It was nice to know that，even in a sophisticated (世故的) city like New York，people still realized how homey and welcoming a box of flowers could be．The sight of those flowers cheered me up a little．

Like maybe Aunt Evelyn and Uncle Ted just forgot I was arriving today，and hadn’t deliberately failed to meet me at the airport because they’d changed their minds about letting me come to stay．

Like everything was going to be all right，after all．

Yeah．With my luck，probably not．

I started up the steps to the front door of 326 East Sixty-Ninth Street，then realized I couldn’t make it with both bags and my violin．Leaving one bag on the sidewalk，I dragged the other up the steps with me．Maybe I took the steps a little too fast，since I nearly tripped and fell flat on my face on the sidewalk．I managed to catch myself at the last moment by grabbing some of the fence the gardeners had put up…

1.Why did the author go to New York?

A． She intended to go sightseeing there．

B． She meant to stay with her aunt’s family．

C． She was homeless and adopted by her aunt.

D． She wanted to try her luck and find a job there．

2.According to the author，some facts account for her bad luck EXCEPT that ________．

A． she was given a boy’s name in French

B． the cab driver didn’t help her with her bags

C． her sister Courtney discovered blow-outs　

D． nobody had come to meet her at the airport

3.The underlined phrase “rub off on” in Paragraph 3 probably means _________.

A． have an effect on

B． play tricks on

C． put pressure on

D． throw doubt on

4.From the passage，we can know that _________．

A． the author left home without informing her mother

B． the author arrived in New York in a very warm season

C． her aunt’s family lived a much better life than her own

D． her aunt and uncle were likely to forget about her arrival

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

I remember the thrill of first seeing you at law school orientation. You looked happy in a sea of dour, nervous faces. And you swept me off my feet immediately and I was eager to know everything about you. It quickly became clear that you were kind, down-to-earth, engaging and loyal to family and friends. By graduation, we were inseparable. We took the bar exam and were married. The future looked bright-two freshly minted lawyers with supportive families and a dream of starting a family of our own some day.

I started my career with the exhausting hours and high stress that are traditionally visited on young lawyers. You were unexpectedly ambivalent (矛盾情绪的） about finding a good job-or any job. After gentle pressure from me, and more from the student loan payments, you puttered around in some non-legal positions more suited for someone with half your education and intelligence, which offered low pay.

Pregnancy-something we both wanted-gave you the most important job in the world. After a few years, we were blessed with a second child. You have never returned to work, although both kids have been at school full-time for years, and our firstborn is heading to college soon.

I've climbed the professional ladder reasonably well. We have the trappings of middle-class success-a nice house in a safe, quiet neighborhood; annual holidays; happy, healthy children; money saved for their college years. But it has come at enormous personal cost to me. My stress level has increased dramatically with added responsibilities at work and my health has become worse. People who haven't seen me for years flinch (退缩） when we meet again and I've attended more than one event at which I have overheard someone remarking on how much I've aged.

I don't think I can do this for another 25 years. I often dream of leaving my firm for a less demanding position, with you making up any financial deficit with a job-even a modest one-of your own. I've asked, and sometimes pleaded, for years with you to get a job, any job. Many of my free hours are spent helping with the housework and the kids, and I recognize that traditional gender roles are often oppressive, but that cuts both ways. I would feel less used and alone if you pitched in financially, even a little. That's not going to happen. It has become clear that you are OK with my working myself to death at a high-stress career that I increasingly hate, as long as you don't have to return to the workforce.

You keep busy volunteering, exercising and pursuing a variety of hobbies. You socialize with similarly situated women who also choose to remain outside the paid workforce. You always say you are not satisfied with the family income, but never once consider that you could relieve the stress on both our budgets and your burnt-out husband by earning some money yourself.

Our family is grateful for all that we enjoy and we know that we're far more fortunate than millions who work far harder than I ever have, or will. And I know all too well that work can be unpleasant. But I don't want you to work so I can buy a Jaguar or a holiday home. I want you to work so I can get a different position and we can still maintain a similar standard of living.

I want you to get a job so I don't wake up in the middle of the night worrying that my career is the only one between us and financial ruin. I want you to work so our marriage can feel more like a partnership and I can feel less like your financial beast of burden. I want our daughter to see you in the workforce and I want her to pursue a career so she is never as dependent on a man as you are on me, no matter how much he loves her(and he will).But mostly I want you to get a job because I want to feel loved.

1.What can we know about the author?

A.He has a family of five.

B.He got married before graduation.

C.He dreams of being a successful lawyer.

D.He fell for his wife at first sight.

2.What does the author think is the most important job to his wife?

A.Choosing a like-minded life partner.

B.The mother's having a baby inside her body.

D.Applying for a high-paid job once again.

3.What message is delivered in the fourth paragraph?

A.The author is not so good at socializing.

B.The author is a person of wealth and power.

C.Great responsibility comes with great power.

D.The heavy work pressure has aged the author.

B.The author's wife is not satisfied with his work.

C.The author's wife will not go to work.

D.The author's wife can't keep the work-life balance.

5.We can infer from Paragraph 6 that the author's wife_

A.complains about financial pressure

B.usually volunteers with nearby women

C.always thinks of her husband's feelings

D.determines to earn some money herself

6.Why does the author want his wife to get a job?

A.To raise their standard of living.

B.To improve her ability to be independent.

C.To assist him in buying a nice holiday home.

D.To set a good example to their daughter.
