[陕西西安一中2020高一期中]I didn’t know how to say “no”, and was afraid to tell people what I wanted. Instead, I got myself tangled（纠结的）in a web of obligations, anxiety, and white lies.
The worst thing was that I didn’t even realise what I was doing. I thought I knew how to say “no”—but couldn’t remember the last time I had done this. Like a lot of people，I just wanted to be accepted appreciated, loved-and the only way to get those things was to put everyone else’s needs before my own.
I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do. I’d like to learn Spanish，write more fiction, and travel. These aren’t huge, unrealistic goals. And yet, my people-pleasing ways dramatically cut into my free time to pursue these desires.
But recently, I decided I'd had enough. As an experiment, I began standing up for myself，even at the risk of alienating（使疏远）myself from everyone and having my entire life come crashing down around me. Several days ago, a good friend asked me to go for coffee at 5 pm. I was planning to hit the gym and then binge—watch Mad Men for the millionth time. I said I’ve got the said, That’s fine. Maybe another time. It was all so painfully simple that I wanted to cry.
Saying “no” is so much easier. If someone asks me to do something I have zero interest in, I'm polite but honest. “I’m sorry. I don’t think that’s really for me.” The words slip out faster than some other lame excuses.
Learning how to say “no” has added several extra hours to my days, days to my weeks, and what feels like months to my years. I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search, or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know. Saying “no” has set me free.

A. Alienating many friends.
B. Keeping busy all day long.

D. Having no time for her own hobbies.
3. What was her friend's reaction when the author said “no” to her

[河南郑州2020高一期末]My husband came across the programme from his father’s high school graduation 90 years ago. It was the Class of 1928 and their class motto was “Build for character, not for fame.”
I’m pretty sure society has done quite the opposite. These days, we have people who are famous for simply being famous. They haven’t done anything particularly impressive, but they do take great selfies. We are all crazy about fame these days, mainly due to social media. All we want is to make people follow us friend us，like us or share our posts. We are nearly mad about fame.
“Build for character not for fame.” is based or the belief that one is looking up and ahead. That’s an encouraging idea, especially today, when most of us have our heads down, looking at the screens of our smartphones. Looking ahead and building for character take thought and intentionality. One can be intentional in building for fame as well，but fame often relies heavily on the right timing and connections as well as the creation of the base of fans and supporters. Character isn’t decided by the ideas of others. Character is built with self-discipline and the willingness to learn from difficulties. Character grows inside and needs no praise.
Fame depends on people looking at you, while character is who you are when no one is looking at you. Fame often comes with jealousy—a feeling that time is running out or that someone better than you is coming to steal your fans. Character is marked by feeling fulfilled and being generous. There is satisfaction that comes with the rewards of achievements but at the same time, good character willingly holds the door open for others who are also hoping to achieve.
This graduation season, speakers will tell new graduates to get out of here and build a better world. The best way is to build character, which runs deep and can carry you through life’s storms. Build character with courage, justice and strength. Build character by respecting yourself and others. Build character with kindness, hope and love and you will build a better world.
1. What does the author think of people nowadays
A. They' re mad about achievements.
B. They want to be famous very much.
C. They’re trying to build character.
D. They like do.
2. What does “building for character” require people to do
A. Connect with others at the right time.
B. Mind their behaviour when being looked at.
C. Behave themselves and learn from hardship readily.
D. Look ahead and accept other people’s advice willingly.
3. What does the underlined word “fulfilled” in anagram oh 4 probably mean
A. Content.
B Confident.
C. Famous.
D. Comfortable.
4. Why does the author value “building for character”
A. It inspires people.
B. It enables us to build a better world.
C. It allows graduates to get a good job.
D. It helps us gain the respect of other people.

[湖北黄冈黄州区一中2020高一月考]Many of us connect gratitude with saying “thank you” to someone who has helped us, making it a short act of appreciation. According to Robert Emmons, a researcher, gratitude is emotion that can result in long-lasting positivity（积极性）. 1
Gratitude is good for our health.
Through his research, Emmons found that grateful people reported feeling healthier and happier, both mentally and physically. 2 In the workplace，employees who are shown that they are appreciated are healthier and more productive by 50 percent.
3
Gratitude is a selfless act. We often take the simple things in life for granted. Those who recognise in life, no matter how simple, are more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others and to help whenever they can. Being considerate of others’ opinions, experiences and backgrounds will make us better people.
Gratitude makes us more self-aware.
Working in an ever-developing and fast-paced society, we are surrounded by ambitious people who are always struggling for more and better things. 4 It starts by paying attention to what’s now going on in our life, and it’s true that self-awareness is the key to being successful.
Gratitude helps us build strong relationships.
Gratitude is a powerful tool for strengthening relationships, both at work and in our personal life. People who express their gratitude tend to be more willing to forgive others and therefore able to create long-lasting connections.
5 Taking the time to thank people for their work and kindness—whether it was today, last month many years ago—makes us happier and more self-aware.
A. Gratitude builds understanding.
B. Here are a few benefits of being grateful.
C. Gratitude helps us build up self-confidence.
D. All in all, we feel and express our gratitude in different ways.
E. Specially, those who were grateful were 25 percent happier than those who weren’t.
F. Gratitude makes us reflect (反思) on the present instead of always thinking about the future.
G. As the old saying goes, “It’s never too late to say you’re sorry.” And the same is true of gratitude.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章论述了作者由不会拒绝别人到勇敢说“不”的转变，在这一过程中，作者发现适当拒绝别人的要求可以使自己的生活更舒心。
1.C推理判断题。根据第二段第三句中的 I just wanted to be accepted，appreciated，loved可知，作者希望被接受、被欣赏、被喜爱由此可推测，作者希望取悦每个人。故选C项。
2.D细节理解题。根据第三段内容，尤其是其中的 I never seemed to have time for things I really wanted to do.可知，别人的要求大大占用了作者做自己想做的事的时间。故选D项。
3.A推理判断题。第四段中作者朋友的回复是“That’s fine. Maybe another time.”，而且后文中作者说感到拒绝别人很容易，由此可知作者的朋友并没有因为作者的拒绝而产生负面情绪，而是非常自然地将邀请推迟到了下一次。故选A项。
4.B推理判断题。根据文章最后一段，尤其是最后一句 Saying “no” has set me free可知，作者学会拒绝别人后感受到了自由。之前作者感觉自己像是被缠在一张由义务、焦虑和善意的谎言织成的网中，而现在作者不再有这样的负担，可以做自己想做的事，因此作者的心情应该是轻松自在的。故选B项。
长难句分析 I no longer have to back-burner my plans to help friends with their job search，or set aside a weekend to read a book draft by someone I barely know.
句式分析：本句主干为 I no longer have to back-burner my plans or set aside a weekend，其中主语为I；or连接了back-burner和 set aside；to help friends with their job search和 to read a book draft为动词不定式短语作目的状语；someone为介词by的宾语，I barely know为省略关系词的定语从句，修饰 someone。
句意：我再也不必把我的计划搁置一旁去帮助朋友找工作，或留出一个周末去读一本我几乎不认识的人写的书稿。

【语篇导读】本文是一篇议论文。文章主要讨论了当下人们“为了出名而出名”的风气，作者认为一味追求名望的态度不可取，塑造美好的品格才能帮助人们建立一个更美好的世界。

5.G空后表示花时间感谢别人所做的事和善意使我们更快乐、更有自我意识，作为文章的总结，设空处应该是建议读者学会感恩。空后句中的 whether it was today，last month or many years ago强调了什么时候表达感恩都不会晚。G项（正如一句老话所说“道歉永远不会太晚”，感恩也是一样）符合语境。
