短文大意：本文是一篇哲理小故事。雖然加里不斷加木柴，但是裝滿水的水壺就是燒不開，爸爸告訴他如果想讓水煮沸，必須倒出來一些水或準(zhǔn)備更多的木頭。故事啟發(fā)我們，目標(biāo)不要設(shè)置得太多，否則無法達(dá)成。

【1】句意：父親微笑著聽了加里的故事�？疾榻樵~辨析。listen to聽，固定短語；根據(jù)句意語境，可知選D。

【題目】閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容填寫表格，每空限填一詞。

Have you ever regretted(后悔) what you did in the past? Anyone around you will have no difficulty in telling his regrets. As we get older, we look back and wish that we had made better choices. What can we do to avoid future regrets?

Make better plans

If you begin to do something, you need to make a plan before doing it. The earlier, the better. You will know what comes first and what comes last. You’ll also know what you should do and what you shouldn’t do. If changes happen, you can have more time to deal with them.

Live a more active life

You can go around more often. More outdoor activities can keep you relaxed. You also need to be kind. “Thank you” can bring a smile to someone’s face. Learn to say “sorry” and don’t be angry with others.

Find the right friend

A friend may make your life and he or she can break your life as well. So you need to think twice when you choose a friend. Good friends will always better your ideas.

When you have problems, ask others for help. That little help may get you good results.

Never fear failure

Everybody fails. Even the greatest person failed. We should not fear failure, because failure is not the end of the road. We must take failure as a chance to learn and improve ourselves.

Life is good. We don’t have to live in our past, but we do hope that we can plan better, live better, and work better when we have the chance to do so.

【題目】閱讀表達(dá)

When 19-year-old Sophia Giorgi said she was thinking of volunteering to help the Make-A-Wish Foundation (基金會), nobody understood what she was talking about. But Sophia knew just how important Make-A-Wish could be because this special organization (組織) had helped to make a dream come true for one of her best friends. We were interested in finding out more, so we went along to meet Sophia and listen to what she had to say.

Sophia told us that Make-A-Wish is a worldwide organization that started in the United States in 1980. “It’s a charity(慈善機(jī)構(gòu)) that helps children who have got very serious illnesses. Make-A-Wish help children feel happy even though they are sick, by making their wishes and dreams come true,” Sophia explained.

We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started. She said it had all begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris’s dream come true --so, with everybody’s help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a “policeman” for a day. “When people saw how happy Chris was when his dream came true, they decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish,” explained Sophia.

Sophia also told us the Foundation tries to give children and their families a special, happy time. A Make-A-Wish volunteer visits the families and asks the children what they would wish for if they could have anything in the world. Sophia said the volunteers were important because they were the ones who helped to make the wishes come true. They do this either by providing things that are necessary, or by raising money or helping out in whatever way they can.

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容,回答下列問題。

【1】Did Sophia know how important Make-A-Wish could be?

【2】How does Make -A -Wish help children feel happy?

【3】What was the name of the first child Make-A-Wish helped?

【4】Why were the volunteers important according to Sophia?

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

【題目】 任務(wù)型閱讀。閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容，完成下列任務(wù)。

Do you often put off doing something that you should be doing? It’s a bad habit called procrastination(拖延癥).

The 2-Minute Rule is a method of ____①____ with the problem and the goal is to make it easier for you to get started on the things you should be doing. It includes two parts. Part 1 comes from David Allen’s book, “Getting Things Done”. It’s surprising how many things we put off that we could get done in two minutes or less, for example, taking out the litter, cleaning up your desk and sending an e-mail. If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, then follow the rule and do it right now.

Can all of your goals be achieved in less than two minutes? Of course not. ____②____, every goal can be started in 2 minutes or less. And that’s the purpose behind the rule’s second part. Once you start doing something, it’s easier to continue doing it. The most important part of any new habit is getting started--not just the first time, but each time. I love the 2-Minute Rule because it accepts the idea that all good things happen once you get started.

Want to become a better writer? Just write one sentence(2-Minute Rule), and you’ll probably find yourself writing for an hour.

Want to make reading a habit? Just read the first page of a new book(2-Minute Rule), and before you know it, you’ve read the first ten pages.

Use next 120 seconds to get one thing done. Go!

任務(wù)一：請根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，分別寫出①、②處所缺的單詞。（每空限填1詞）

【1】①___________ ②___________

任務(wù)二：閱讀短文，從短文中找出與下面句子意義相近的句子。

If you spend less than two minutes finishing a task, then follow the rule and do it at once.
