    Once many years ago, I pulled a family out of a burning car somewhere in Wyoming. Last week I received
    a telephone call from a woman who could not stop crying as she told me that one of my stories had saved her
    son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a hero.
    That got me thinking about what a hero really is. Was I a hero because I pulled a family from a burning car?
    If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story that saved someone's life?
    Today I decided to look up the word "hero" in the dictionary to see exactly what it meant. It read "a person
    who does something brave". As I read on, it also said "a person who is good and noble".
    That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thought about something very
    important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I happened to open, and hold the door for
    someone as acourtesy. As they passed me by, I say, "How are you today?" Most of the time that would be no
    big deal, but this time let's say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of the rope.
    That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time.
    Having been near "the end of my rope", after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition.
    I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to end the pain and misery. When I returned home,
    someone had sent me a card in the mail which told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That
    wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero.
    The many stories I-kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenage boy. In turn that makes
    the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose that is why I fight so hard to help the children now
    living in orphanages (孤儿院). Most children come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude
    against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of
    them will never hurt anyone because of the kindness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we
    will also become "heroes".
    Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and, possibly save a life, just by being
    kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becoming a hero is free to all who wish to wear such
    an honor.
    1. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?
    A. Why Should You Be A Hero?
    B. What Exactly Is A Hero?
    C. I Am A Hero
    D. Everyone Is A Hero
    2. The underlined word "courtesy" in Paragraph 4 means the behaviour that is _____.
    A. both polite and respectful
    B. both brave and fearless
    C. both thoughtful and considerate
    D. both cute and kind
    3. The underlined word "it" in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refers to _____.
    A. the wonderful card the writer received
    B. the action of sending the card
    C. the fact that the sender saved the writer
    D. the fact that the sender was a true friend
    4. According to this passage, which of the following can be considered as the behaviour of a hero?
    A. Holding a door open for someone.
    B. Sending someone a wonderful card.
    C. Keeping writing many stories for children.
    D. Being kind to someone who has a hard time.

  • 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。
