试题详情

For years, the word “popular'，has been demonized（妖魔化）and made thesame as mini-skirt-wearing, hair-coloring cheerleader types like Regina Georgein Mean Girls. Today, teachers and parents inform children that being popularis irrelevant（不相干的），unnecessary and a sure shortcut to upset, misery, anddeath. And some people describe popular students as the ones most likely tobum out and end up as nobody, while their less well-liked counterparts enjoy alife of wealth and fame.

However, the Oxford English Dictionary defines（定义）popularity as:“TheState or condition of being liked, admired, or supported by many people’ Thissounds like a lovely thing, and is not related to such behaviors as “burn books” or “three-way phonecalls" in Mean Girls．

In fact, it is a truth widely acknowledged that young people who feel liked or supported are morelikely to obtain impressive achievements than those who feel lonely, unvalued, and irrelevant socially.So why, then, is popularity given such a bad name? Why is this state of well-likedness so demonized?

Basically, the hatred (恨) shown toward what appears to be a very pleasant thing is caused by lackof understanding. When we, as viewers, see characters such as Regina Georges on TV and in films, werecognize them to be popular. These characters, if not exactly liked,，greatly admired by their peers（同伴）．Our mistake comes when we try to understand their cruel and unkind actions using the deduction（推论）method.Humans are imperfect, and even the most intelligent mind is open to dishonesty through a very smallslip in logic. Unfortunately, this occurs here with branding results

We first learn that a character is popular. Since this is important to the plot, it is constantlyemphasized, leading it to be the most common thing in our minds when we consider the character.Later, we see that character do something unkind. The character's most noticeable characteristic (inour minds) is his/her popularity. And now the character is mean and unkind. This character is popular.Therefore, we jump to a quick conclusion (结论) that popular people are mean and unkind.

Things such as improper behaviors and rumor-spreading are terrible and should always be seenin a very serious light. However, it is important to recognize that these are not the behaviors of popularpeople, but bullies.

So, in summary, do not be afraid to be popular and have many friends. If you are kind to everyoneand treat others with respect, there will be few who can criticize you, for being widely liked is not acurse but a blessing. Just remember that being popular does give you a degree of power, and with greatpower comes a large electricity bill!

1.The writer mentions the definition of popularity in paragraph 2 to＿＿．

A. bring up his opinion B. give an example

C. come to a conclusion D. offer his suggestion

2.What can we learn from the passage?

A. Being popular might offer a shortcut to a life of wealth.

B. Students who feel supported have a better chance to achieve more.

C. Popular students are usually famous but mean and unkind.

D. The less well-liked people consider being popular as something bad.

3.Paragraph 4 and 5 are. mainly about＿＿

This year has been a busy year of travelling for me, and the end of the year is no exception. I booked an early morning flight so I had to get up at 4:30 am to get to the airport. The thought of such an early flight made me not very happy, but then I started to think about the people who would make that early journey possible for me: my taxi driver, check-in agent, security staff, gate agents, flight crew, etc. They all do their jobs at an early hour so I can get to my destination safely, often for very little money.
When that trip came, I realized I had a choice: I could be angry about having to take an early flight, finally showing my anger to everyone I see. Or I could choose to be grateful to this modern machine of safe air travel and the people who made it possible. Just thinking about the latter choice got my mind working about how I could show my thanks, and I decided to do a little “experiment”: what if I got a little gift for every worker I met my journey? How many gifts would I end up giving out?
Then I started to think about what kind of gift would be good for such an experiment.
The payback from this experiment started immediately. For the first time in years I actually looked forward to getting up at 4:30 am! I ended up giving a gift cards to my taxi driver, airport security agent, two gate agents, and four fight attendants, and all of them said thank you and smiled sweetly. And, instead of arriving tired and sad after four hours of sleep and a long flight, I was excited and happy to share my story.
Change your attitudes( 态度)and choose to do something good for others can help yourself feel good, too.
