    "I Went Skydiving at 84"
    As a young girl growing up in the 1930s, I always wanted to fly a plane, but back then it was almost
    unheard of for a woman to do that. I got a taste of that dream in 2001 when my husband arranged for
    me to ride in a hot air balloon for my birthday. But the experience turned out to be very dull. Around that
    time, I told my husband that they were having an essay competition and the topic was experience of a
    lifetime that you wanted to have, I decided to write about my dream.
    In the essay, I wrote about my desire to skydive, stating George Bush Sr. did it at age 80. Why not
    me? I was just 84 and in pretty good health. A year went by and I heard nothing. But then at a community
    party in late April 2009, they announced that I was one of the winners. I just couldn't believe it. Inspired
    by this, I decided to realize my dream, even though some of my family members and my doctor were
    against it.
    On June 11, 2009, nearly 40 of my family and friends gathered in the area close to where I would land
    while I headed up in the airplane. My instructor, Jay, guided me through the experience. The plane was the
    noisiest one I had even been in, but I wasn't frightened-I was really just looking forward to the experience.
    When we reached 13,000 feet, Jay instructed me to throw myself out of the plane. When we first hit the
    air, the wind was so strong that I could hardly breathe. For a second I thought, "What have I gotten myself
    into?" But then everything got calmer. We were in a free fall for about a minute before jay opened the
    parachute (降落伞) then we just floated downward for about five minutes. Being up in the clouds and
    looking at the view below was unlike anything I have ever felt-much better than the hot air balloon. I was
    just enjoying it.
    Skydiving was really one of the greatest experiences of my life. I hope other people will look at me and
    realize that you don't stop living just because you are 84 years old. If there is something you want to
    experience, look into it. If it's something that is possible, make it happen.

  • 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。
