A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his black tuxedo. Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal,“I read in a magazine, a while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage,” she offered.“Each of us will write a list of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we can fix them together and make our lives happier together. ”Her husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the day and wrote down what they came up with.The next morning, at the breakfast table, they decided that they would go over their lists.“I'll start,” offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it. Enough to fill 3 pages in fact. As she started, reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were starting to appear in her husband's eyes.“What’s wrong?” she asked.“Nothing,” the husband replied, “keep reading your list.”The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.“Now，you read your list and then we'll talk about the things on both of our lists, ” she said happily.Quietly the husband stated, “I don't have anything on my list.

Text 2The real heroine of the novel stands at one remove to the narrative. On the face of it, readers are more likely to empathize with, and be curious about, the mysterious and resourceful slave, Sarah, who forms one point of an emotional triangle. Sarah is the property of Manon, and came with her to a failing Louisiana sugar plantation on her marriage to the good-for-nothing, bullying owner. But Manon’s husband is soon struck by Sarah, and the proof lies in their idiot small son, Walter.However, the reader is forced to see things through Manon’s eyes, not Sarah’s, and her consciousness is not a comfortable place to be. Never a please or a thank you passes her lips when talking to slaves, though manners is the order of the day in white society. Manon is enormously attracted by inter-racial marriage (for the place and time—the early 19th century—such a concern would not be unusual, but in her case it seems pathological). Walter, with “his father’s curly red hair and green eyes, his mother’s golden skin, her full, pushing-forward lips”, is the object of her especial hatred, but she chatters on about all the “dreadful mixed-blooded”, the objectionable “yellow” people.Beyond Manon’s polarized vision, we glimpse “free negros” and the emerging black middle-class. To Manon’s disgust, such people actually have self-respect. In New Orleans buying shoes, Manon is taken aback by the shopkeeper’s lack of desired respect. Mixed race prostitutes acquired the affections of male planters by giving them something mysterious their wives cannot often What that might be, and why wives can’t offer it too, are questions Manon can’t even ask, let alone answer.The first third of the book explores the uneasy and unsustainable peace between Manon, Sarah and the man always called just “my husband” or “he”. Against the background of violent slave revolts and equally savage revenges, it’s clear the peace cannot last. It’s part of the subtlety of this book that as the story develops and the inevitable explosion occurs, our view of all the characters swiftly changes. Sarah turns out to deserve all the suspicion Manon directs at her; at the point of death Manon’s husband displays an admirable toughness and courage; and Manon herself wins the reader’s reluctant admiration for her bravery, her endurance, and her total lack of self-pity.Perhaps the cruelest aspect of this society is the way it breaks down and distorts family affections. A slave’s baby is usually sold soon after birth; Sarah’s would-be husband, if he wants her, must buy her; and Manon herself, after all, is only the property of her husband.第26题：Which of the following reflects Manon’s attitude towards colored people?［A］ Sympathetic.［B］ Suspicious.［C］ Concerned.［D］ Disgusted.
It can be inferred from the text that the novel is written _____.［A］ with a mobile point of view［B］ with a limited third person singular［C］ from Manon’s perspective［D］ from Sarah’s eye as a slave
From the text we learn that _____.［A］ Manon’s husband is a nameless but bullying person［B］ Manon is the real heroine who deserves readers’ sympathy［C］ Sarah is in fact smarter than her master Manon［D］ Walter is a proof of the mixed race prostitution
SUCCESS AND FAILURE It’s clear that success and failure are important and common topics. Every business has its ups and downs, and so does every person. In other words, sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail. Another common way of saying this is “You win some and you lose some.” Nobody wins all the time, not even in the great success stories that we read or hear about. Think of a successful entrepreneur. Now, do you think that person achieved great success on their first attempt In 99% of cases, the answer is no. Every successful businessperson learned through failure. Now have a look at your favorite business news site. You’ll see that almost every story can be put into either the category of success or that of failure. Businesses either grow or shrink but they don’t remain the same.1. Every person has his or her ups and downs.()2. A common saying “You win some and you lose some” means that sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail.()3. Ninety nine percent of successful businessmen achieved great success on their first try.()4. Successful businessmen learn through failure.()5. Businesses either shrink or remain the same.()

共用题干第二篇A Tale of Scottish Rural LifeLewis Grassic Gibbon's Sunset Song(1932)was voted"the best Scottish novel of all time"by Scottish's reading public in 2005.Once considered shocking for its frank description of aspects of the lives of Scotland's poor rural farmers,it has been adapted for stage,film,TV and radio in recent decades.The novel is set on the fictional estate of Kinr Addie,in the farming country of the Scottish northwest in the years up to and beyond World War I.At its heart is the story of Chris,who is both part of the community and a little outside it.Grassic Gibbon gives us the most detailed and intimate account of the life of his heroine.We watch her grow through a childhood dominated by her cruel but hard-working father;experience tragedy(her mother's suicide and murder of her twin children);and learn about her feelings as she grows into woman. We see her marry,lose her husband,then marry again.Chris has seemed so convincing a figure to some female readers that they cannot believe that she is the creation of a man.But it would be misleading to suggest that this book is just about Chris.It is truly a novel of a place and its people.Its opening section tells of Kinr Addie's long history,in a language that imitates the place's changing patterns of speech and writing.The story itself is amazingly full of characters and incidents.It is told from Chris' point of view but also from that of the gossiping community,a community where everybody knows everybody else's business and nothing is ever forgotten.Sunset Song has a social theme too. It is concerned with what Grassic Gibbon perceives as the destruction of traditional Scottish rural life first by modernization and then by World War I. Gibbon tried hard to show how certain characters resist the war. Despite this,the war takes the young men away,a number of them to their deaths. In particular,it takes away Chris' husband,Evan Tavendale.The war finally kills Evan,but not in the way his widow told. In fact,the Germans aren't responsible for his death,but his own side.He is shot because he is said to have run away from a battle.If the novel is about the end of one way of life it also looks ahead.It is a Sunset Song but is concerned too with the new Kinr Addie,indeed of the new European world.Grassic Gibbon went on to publish two other novels about the place that continue its story.What is Sunset Song mainly about?A:The First World War. B:The beauty of the sunset.C:The new European world. D:The lives of rural Scottish farmers.
