Question: are you punctual (守時(shí)的)?

Based on December 3, 2019 by Billy

I’m punctual in my work life, but not in my personal life, However, it’s OK in my country. We, Brazilians, are always late. If the party is at 8, everyone shows up at 10 and everyone, including the host is happy that we are on time. Cheers!

Lisa, Brazil

I am a Japanese working in Colombia. It is good manners to arrive a little late for a party in Colombia, which I have never ever understood. I always try to be early for everything, or I consider it impolite.

Mike, Japan

For a meeting on business, I always make sure I am on time. Once I had a friend who was always late for every meeting. If we made it sure at 9 and it was a 45-minute trip for her, then she would arrive at 9:45. I totally understand her, but could not stand the unpunctuality.

Bud, Germany

【1】Where is it OK to arrive late for a party?

A.In Japan.B.In Germany.C.In Brazil

【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.Both Mike and Bud are used to being on time.

B.Lisa is a girl who never cares about punctuality.

C.Bud is an understanding person but strict in time.

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【解析】

本文是一篇記敘文，表達(dá)了不同國家的人們對于不同場合的守時(shí)問題有何觀點(diǎn)。

【1】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)We, Brazilians, are always late，可知在巴西參加聚會(huì)遲到是正常的，故選C。

【2】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Lisa的信息I’m punctual in my work life, but not in my personal life，可知她在工作上還是守時(shí)的，只是在個(gè)人生活上不守時(shí)，而不是從不在意守時(shí)，B選項(xiàng)表述錯(cuò)誤，故選B。

【題目】第三節(jié) 語篇補(bǔ)全

It’s not easy growing up. Growing up can be a real "pain” for some of us. We are always doing things that someone else makes us do. And we aren’t allowed to do all the things we like. Sometimes we feel sad, sometimes we are afraid, and sometimes we just don’t understand why we can’t stay young forever. But we should take a look back on all the hard periods in life with a positive(積極的) attitude and learn from them. 【1】.

Throughout our lives we are going to face many challenges and pains, but we should never let these difficulties keep us from following our dreams. 【2】

As a young girl, my parents forced me to do so many things that I didn’t like. They made me learn to play the violin and then the piano. 【3】 But looking back now, I am so glad that my parents encouraged me to take music lessons. Music has made my life so colorful in so many ways. I now realize that my parents and teachers wanted me to have a better life than they did themselves.

We are all going to experience growing pains, but they are just part of our life. 【4】 Life would be really boring and meaningless. The future is ours! A little hard work never hurts anyone! If we realize that these pains just get in the way of our road to success, we will realize that our growing pains are actually growing gains!

A. I took great interests in music and won many prizes.

B. Think about how we would feel if we had no challenges and lived a life like that.

C. We should realize that all of our growing pains actually turn into growing gains.

D. At that time I hated music and I also hated them.

E. We must solve every problem one small step at a time.

【題目】 閱讀表達(dá)

My name is Jackson. I remember almost everything I read. But I don’t like to speak in class. When Mr. Knoll asked us to do an oral (口頭的) book report, the idea of having my classmates looking at me filled me with nervousness.

But since Mr. Knoll gave us a month to get the report ready, I thought I had plenty of time.

Finally, I chose Fire-Hunter by Jim Kjelgaard. I read the first few pages and then I threw it away. Then the book got buried in the clutter (雜物) in my room.

When I realized the date of the book report was only a week away, I was in a fear. I raced home and found the book. Trembling (顫抖), I turned to the book and discovered there were 218 pages! I read like crazy.

The last day came. When Mr. Knoll called on me to give my report. I still had eighty pages to go. The class looked sorry for me when I pulled myself forward. They could see my fear. “My book is Fire-Hunter, by Jim Kjelgaard,” I began slowly. Then I started to tell the story and the class seemed interested. To my surprise, I discovered I was enjoying myself. However, l had no idea how the book ended. I really didn’t know what caused me to act in that way. I made up the rest of the story later.

The class loved it, and flapped their hands as I finished.

At break time, Mr. Knoll called me over. “You know, Jackson, I don’t really remember the book ending that way.” I lowered my head.

“You told a pretty good story,” he continued. “The project was an oral book report. You did a great job on the oral part.”

“Uh, thanks.” I said.

“When you actually finish Fire-Hunter, please come to me and give me the book report.”

“Yes, I will,” I said. I knew I would make a REAL book report.

【1】How did Jackson feel when he knew the task of making an oral book report?

______________________________________________________________________________

【2】Where did the writer put Fire-Hunter after reading a few pages?

______________________________________________________________________________

【3】Did Jackson finish reading the book before giving the book report?

______________________________________________________________________________

【4】What made Jackson decide to make a REAL book report?

______________________________________________________________________________
