    At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible sites (地点) for a house. I have thus
    searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one
    after another, and I knew their prices.
    The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before
    the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me
    additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the
    farm for just what I gave for it.
    The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village,
    half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded (相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the
    highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for
    some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest
    area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apples
    trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he
    made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
    I was not really troubled bythe loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large
    farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes but little
    difference whether you own a farm or not.

  • 人生感悟类阅读

人生感悟类阅读的概念

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。


生活感悟类阅读解题指导:

一、文章特点:

生活感悟类的文章就是指能给人心灵以启迪,使人从中受到教育的文章。这类文章的体裁可以是记叙文,如生活中一些感人故事或情感故事,有点类似心灵鸡汤一样的短文。有时故事的结尾会有一句“点睛之笔”,点出全文的中心思想,就像《伊索寓言》里的寓言一样。还可能是夹叙夹议的哲理散文或生活随笔。散文随笔通常会阐述一种朴素易懂,耳熟能详的人生道理或宝贵品质。文章的结构和议论文类似,一般是总分总或总分结构。每段首句或尾句为主题句(论点),其它句子围绕主题展开论述(论据),论证方法多种多样,或举例,或引用名言,或正反对照等。

二、解题技巧:

针对生活感悟类文章的特点,做这类文章的完形填空时,要特别注意以下几点:
1、重点理解全文的首句。如果是记叙文,找出when,where,who,what等基本要素。如果是散文随笔,充分理解文章的中心句—全文的主题。
2、阅读全文的结尾段或结尾句,有助于理解文章所阐述或蕴含的哲理、感悟或忠告等。
3、调动自己的背景知识和情感。这类文章不会讲大道理也不会涉及到一些很专业的知识技术领域,而是谈一些小事和简单的道理,所以如果读者能和作者产生感情上的共鸣,读者会更好地把握作者的意图态度,从而提高做题的准确度。因此,考生在平时要做一个有心人,即用心去感悟生活中发生的小事,思考人生的一些基本道理,多阅读一些短小精悍的美文,多写写自己的心情故事和对生活学习的感悟。只有平时多用心,做题时才能调动自己的背景知识和情感。
