六、阅读理解
There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with his students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure(药剂) for the illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good, ” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon, ” answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get, ” said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer.“A full spoon is too much, ” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir, ” said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.”

六、阅读理解
There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with his students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee(担任考试委员会主席), the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
Then the professor asked about the cure(药剂) for the illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good, ” said the professor, “and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon, ” answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get, ” said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer.“A full spoon is too much, ” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr. Professor, I’ve made a mistake! A full spoon is too much for the patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir, ” said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.”

省略句
种类
例句
说明
主语的省略
Beautiful day (= It is a beautiful day), isn’t it?

有时也可省略整个句子的主语和谓语,只保留次要成分。

--Not until you told me. (= I didn’t know anything about it until you told me.)
谓语的省略
--what do you think made Mary so upset?
--Losing her new bicycle (made Mary so upset).
状语从句的省略
Seen from the plane (when it is seen from the plane), the house looks like tiny toys.
If (it is) possible, I’ll go there with you.
注意状语从句中的主语同主句主语的一致性。
不定式的省略
The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him not to. (not to ride his bicycle in the street.)
--Alice, why didn’t you come yesterday?
--I was going to (come yesterday), but I had an unexpected visitor.
若不定式后面是完成时,省略时应保留have;不定式后含有动词be的结构时,也要保留be动词。
--Did you tell him the news?
--I ought to have (told him the news), but I didn’t know how to speak.
--Are you an engineer?
--No, but I want to be.
状语从句中的省略用法
一、如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致,且从句的谓语含有be动词的某种形式(am/is/are/was/were)可同时省略从句的主语和be动词的某种形式。
1. when, while引导的时间状语从句
e.g. 当你过马路的时候一定要小心。
Do be careful when (you are) crossing the street.
在我去工作的路上,我遇见了她。
When/While (I was) on my way to work, I met her.
2. if , unless,once引导的条件状语从句
e.g. If (it is) properly treated, waste will do no harm to the environment.
我不会去晚会的,除非我被邀请。
I’ll not go to the party unless (I am) invited.
一旦你在超市里被抓到偷东西,你会受到惩罚的。
Once (you are) caught stealing in a supermarket, you will be punished.
3. though, although, whether, no matter whether/what/how/who等引导的让步状语从句
e.g. 他很开心,尽管他很贫穷。
He was happy, though/although (he was) poor.
他虽然年轻但懂得很多。
Though (he is) young, he knows a lot.
No matter how/However hard the task (is), we must fulfill it in time.
(注:从句的主语和主句的主语不一致时,只省略从句中的be动词形式)
4. as if, as though引导的方式状语从句
e.g.?She lay there, as if (she was) dead. (省略的主语和主句的主语一致)
?He opened his lips as if (he were going) to say something. 他张开嘴唇,好像要说什么话似的。
He stood up as if/though (he wanted) to leave.(as if/though + to do表示一个将来的动作)
二、than,as引导的比较状语从句中的省略用法:当不同的主语进行比较时,一般省略从句中的谓语;当从句中的主语与谓语(be动词除外)和主句中的主语与谓语相同时,通常省略从句中的主语和谓语,只保留比较部分。
e.g. He is taller than his brother (is).
I have as much as confidence in you as (I have confidence) in him.
三、以if从句为代表的状语从句中的特殊省略用法:通常省略了it is, that is, there is/are。
E.g.如果有必要的话,这个老庙会被重新修建。
If (it is) possible/necessary, this old temple will be rebuilt.
If (that is) so, I will call you back at 5:00 pm.
There are only a few books in our school library, if (there are) any.
四、定语从句中的省略用法
关系词的省略
关系代词that,which,whom等在限制性定语从句中充当宾语且不位于介词之后时,可以省略;in which或that在先行词way后作方式状语从句时可省略。
e.g. 你昨天拜访的那个人是我的祖父。
The man (that/who/whom) you visited last night is my grandpa.
我不喜欢你对待这个女孩的方式。
I don’t like the way (in which/that) you treat the girl.
五、虚拟语气中if及should的省略
1. 当条件状语从句中有were, had, should等时省略if,把它们提至句首,形成倒装句。
e.g. If I were a teacher, I would be strict with my students.
= Were I a teacher, I would be strict with my students.
2. Suggest, insist, order, require等表示建议、要求、命令的动词后接的名词性从句中,谓语动词常用“should+动词原形”, should可以省略。
e.g. 医生建议他尽力去减肥。
The doctor suggested that he (should) try to lose weight.
So和not的替代性省略
用于避免重复前面所说过的内容,替代词so/not替代肯定或否定的名词性从句。可与believe, do, expect, fear, guess, hope, say, speak, suppose, think, I’m afraid等连用
e.g. – Do you suppose he is going to attend the meeting? – I suppose not.
— Can you finish your work today?
— 我认为能。I think so .
— 我认为不能。I don't think so . / I think not .
七、日常交际中的省略
在情景会话中,答语常常省略不会引起歧义的主语、谓语或宾语部分,而只保留对方希望了解的内容。在复合句或并列句中,也有省略主、谓、宾的情况。
e.g. – How many copies do you want? -- (I want) Three copies, please.
-- Have you ever been to the Great Wall? -- No, (I have) never (been to the Great Wall).
注意:
感官动词see, hear, feel, watch等和使役动词have, make, let等后接不定式作宾语时,不定式省略to。
do nothing but, can’t help but等结构常接省略to的不定式。
e.g. 我们昨天只是仅仅呆在家里看电视了。
We didn’t do anything but stay at home watching TV yesterday.
听到这个消息,她禁不住哭了。
Hearing the news, she couldn’t help but cry.
在特定语境中为了避免重复,当不定式再次出现时,在want, wish, hope, try, plan, like, love, hate后往往只保留to,而省略后面的动词。但不定式后有be, have时,也保留be和have。
e.g. My parents encouraged me to go to college, (但是我不想去)but I didn’t want to.

三、阅读理解
Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, ”Tony said.“You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered.“You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal(犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?
A. Because they were the uniforms for air-couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.
2. An air-courier is a person who ________.
A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
3. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air-courier is that he ________.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of jeans
D. saves little money from the travel
4. The author of the text mainly ________.
A. describes the activities of a law-breaker
B. suggests an ideal way to travel

Almost no young people today know who the cartoon character Oswald the Rabbit is, but they certainly recognize his successor, Bugs Bunny. Oswald, Bugs, and hundreds of other characters were created by Walt Disney, perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.
Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from World War Ⅰ, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technology that was new at the time, moving pictures.
In the 1920’s, he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character. In each drawing, the character was changed just a bit. A film was taken of the series of drawings, and when it was shown, the characters appeared to move. The process,called animation,is still used today,although computers have made the process much easier.
In 1928, Disney created his most famous character, Mortimer Mouse, who we know today as Mickey. The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie, which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track. Within the next few years, Disney invented many of his other characters.
The list of Disney’s animation successes is long and memorable. It includes Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Created in 1937, it was an immediate success. Today, more than fifty years later, it is still one of the most popular films for children.
1. What is one of the chief differences between animation today and in Walt Disney’s early years?
A. More people like animated movies.
B. Fewer people like animated movies.
C. Computers have made the job easier.
D. Computers have made the job harder.
2. Which of these words best describes Walt Disney?
A. Creative. B. Athletic. C. Exciting. D. Quiet.
3. What makes the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so remarkable?
A. It was a little success when created.
B. It took more than a year to make it.
C. It was made at a time when there were no computers.
D. It has remained popular for more than fifty years.
4. What does the underlined word “painstaking” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Something that hurts because it involves hard work.
B. Taking a long time and involving much hard work.
C. Requiring a lot of effort, like running a marathon.
D. Requiring many fine tools, such as pens and pencils.
People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It is something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it. On the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social activity.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years, she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity(不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others in the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
1. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as ________.
A. a disease that can be easily cured
B. an abnormal mental condition
C. an emotional disability
D. something we pick up after birth
2. The author believes it’s a waste of time to ____________.
A. develop a healthy personality
B. talk with as many people as possible
C. study where shyness comes from
D. look for ways to do away with one’s shyness
3.Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?
A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B. He did away with his shyness carefully.
C. He was described as a hero in some legend books.
D. He failed to become a good talk show host.
4. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was ______.
A. proud all the time
B. impolite when young
C. shy in her early years
D. close to Jane Fonda

省略句
种类
例句
说明
主语的省略
Beautiful day (= It is a beautiful day), isn’t it?
Pity we live so far from the sea. (It is a pity we live so far from the sea.)
有时也可省略整个句子的主语和谓语,只保留次要成分。
She was poor but (she was) honest.
--Did you know anything about the accident?
--Not until you told me. (= I didn’t know anything about it until you told me.)
谓语的省略
--what do you think made Mary so upset?
--Losing her new bicycle (made Mary so upset).
状语从句的省略
Seen from the plane (when it is seen from the plane), the house looks like tiny toys.
If (it is) possible, I’ll go there with you.
注意状语从句中的主语同主句主语的一致性。
不定式的省略
The boy wanted to ride his bicycle in the street, but his mother told him not to. (not to ride his bicycle in the street.)
--Alice, why didn’t you come yesterday?
--I was going to (come yesterday), but I had an unexpected visitor.
若不定式后面是完成时,省略时应保留have;不定式后含有动词be的结构时,也要保留be动词。
--Did you tell him the news?
--I ought to have (told him the news), but I didn’t know how to speak.
--Are you an engineer?
--No, but I want to be.
状语从句中的省略用法
一、如果从句的主语和主句的主语一致,且从句的谓语含有be动词的某种形式(am/is/are/was/were)可同时省略从句的主语和be动词的某种形式。
1. when, while引导的时间状语从句
e.g. 当你过马路的时候一定要小心。
Do be careful when (you are) crossing the street.
在我去工作的路上,我遇见了她。
When/While (I was) on my way to work, I met her.
2. if , unless,once引导的条件状语从句
e.g. If (it is) properly treated, waste will do no harm to the environment.
我不会去晚会的,除非我被邀请。
I’ll not go to the party unless (I am) invited.
一旦你在超市里被抓到偷东西,你会受到惩罚的。
Once (you are) caught stealing in a supermarket, you will be punished.
3. though, although, whether, no matter whether/what/how/who等引导的让步状语从句
e.g. 他很开心,尽管他很贫穷。
He was happy, though/although (he was) poor.
他虽然年轻但懂得很多。
Though (he is) young, he knows a lot.
No matter how/However hard the task (is), we must fulfill it in time.
(注:从句的主语和主句的主语不一致时,只省略从句中的be动词形式)
4. as if, as though引导的方式状语从句
e.g.?She lay there, as if (she was) dead. (省略的主语和主句的主语一致)
?He opened his lips as if (he were going) to say something. 他张开嘴唇,好像要说什么话似的。
He stood up as if/though (he wanted) to leave.(as if/though + to do表示一个将来的动作)
二、than,as引导的比较状语从句中的省略用法:当不同的主语进行比较时,一般省略从句中的谓语;当从句中的主语与谓语(be动词除外)和主句中的主语与谓语相同时,通常省略从句中的主语和谓语,只保留比较部分。
e.g. He is taller than his brother (is).
I have as much as confidence in you as (I have confidence) in him.
三、以if从句为代表的状语从句中的特殊省略用法:通常省略了it is, that is, there is/are。
E.g.如果有必要的话,这个老庙会被重新修建。
If (it is) possible/necessary, this old temple will be rebuilt.
If (that is) so, I will call you back at 5:00 pm.
There are only a few books in our school library, if (there are) any.
四、定语从句中的省略用法
关系词的省略
关系代词that,which,whom等在限制性定语从句中充当宾语且不位于介词之后时,可以省略;in which或that在先行词way后作方式状语从句时可省略。
e.g. 你昨天拜访的那个人是我的祖父。
The man (that/who/whom) you visited last night is my grandpa.
我不喜欢你对待这个女孩的方式。
I don’t like the way (in which/that) you treat the girl.
五、虚拟语气中if及should的省略
1. 当条件状语从句中有were, had, should等时省略if,把它们提至句首,形成倒装句。
e.g. If I were a teacher, I would be strict with my students.
= Were I a teacher, I would be strict with my students.
2. Suggest, insist, order, require等表示建议、要求、命令的动词后接的名词性从句中,谓语动词常用“should+动词原形”, should可以省略。
e.g. 医生建议他尽力去减肥。
The doctor suggested that he (should) try to lose weight.
So和not的替代性省略
用于避免重复前面所说过的内容,替代词so/not替代肯定或否定的名词性从句。可与believe, do, expect, fear, guess, hope, say, speak, suppose, think, I’m afraid等连用
e.g. – Do you suppose he is going to attend the meeting? – I suppose not.
— Can you finish your work today?
— 我认为能。I think so .
— 我认为不能。I don't think so . / I think not .
七、日常交际中的省略
在情景会话中,答语常常省略不会引起歧义的主语、谓语或宾语部分,而只保留对方希望了解的内容。在复合句或并列句中,也有省略主、谓、宾的情况。
e.g. – How many copies do you want? -- (I want) Three copies, please.
-- Have you ever been to the Great Wall? -- No, (I have) never (been to the Great Wall).
注意:
感官动词see, hear, feel, watch等和使役动词have, make, let等后接不定式作宾语时,不定式省略to。
do nothing but, can’t help but等结构常接省略to的不定式。
e.g. 我们昨天只是仅仅呆在家里看电视了。
We didn’t do anything but stay at home watching TV yesterday.
听到这个消息,她禁不住哭了。
Hearing the news, she couldn’t help but cry.
在特定语境中为了避免重复,当不定式再次出现时,在want, wish, hope, try, plan, like, love, hate后往往只保留to,而省略后面的动词。但不定式后有be, have时,也保留be和have。
e.g. My parents encouraged me to go to college, (但是我不想去)but I didn’t want to.

三、阅读理解
Brian arrived at the San Francisco airport two hours before the flight to Paris. He was wearing three shirts, a jacket, two pairs of socks, a pair of shorts, and two pairs of jeans. He was carrying one small backpack, which was very full, but he didn’t have any other luggage. Brian needed to meet a man named Tony before he checked in for his flight. He found Tony near the Air France counter. Tony gave him a round-trip ticket and a small package.
“Give this package to Jean-Paul at the airport in Paris. He will have a sign with your name on it. I think you can find him easily, ”Tony said.“You don’t have any luggage, right?”
“Only this backpack,” Brian answered.“You said I could bring one carry-on bag.”
“That’s right. One carry-on bag is fine. Have a good trip.”
“Thanks.”
Is Brian a criminal(犯罪)? Not at all. He is an air courier. And he paid only $110 for the round-trip ticket to Paris. Air couriers get cheap airline tickets because they take important packages and papers to foreign countries. Businesses sometimes need to get packages and papers to people in foreign countries by the next day. Often, the only way they can do this is to use an air courier company. It is not cheap for a business to send a package with an air courier, but it is quick.
Every year about 80,000 people worldwide travel as air-couriers. The number of tickets for the air-courier travel is growing by about 10 percent a year. However, air-courier travel isn’t for everyone. But if you have very little money, can be flexible(灵活的) about your travel plans, and don’t mind wearing the same clothes for a week, it can be a great way to take a vacation!
1. Why was Brian wearing so many clothes for his travel?
A. Because they were the uniforms for air-couriers.
B. Because that made him easier to be recognized.
C. Because his backpack had no room for his clothes.
D. Because he did not have any luggage with him.
2. An air-courier is a person who ________.
A. manages a business company in foreign countries
B. organizes international flights for tourists
C. travels around the world with cheap tickets
D. delivers papers and packages to foreign countries
3. One of the disadvantages of traveling as an air-courier is that he ________.
A. cannot decide when and where to travel
B. cannot take any luggage with him
C. has to wear two pairs of jeans
D. saves little money from the travel
4. The author of the text mainly ________.
A. describes the activities of a law-breaker
B. suggests an ideal way to travel
C. argues against the air-courier travel
D. tells us about a developing business
答案:1. C 2. D 3. A 4. D
Almost no young people today know who the cartoon character Oswald the Rabbit is, but they certainly recognize his successor, Bugs Bunny. Oswald, Bugs, and hundreds of other characters were created by Walt Disney, perhaps the most famous cartoonist in history.
Born in Chicago in 1901, Walt Disney always wanted to be an artist. After returning from World War Ⅰ, in which he drove an ambulance, Disney worked as a commercial artist. He enjoyed drawing cartoons more than anything else, and decided to try his hand at a technology that was new at the time, moving pictures.
In the 1920’s, he produced several films where he made cartoon characters move as if by magic. The technique Disney used was painstaking. He made hundreds or even thousands of repeated drawings of the same character. In each drawing, the character was changed just a bit. A film was taken of the series of drawings, and when it was shown, the characters appeared to move. The process,called animation,is still used today,although computers have made the process much easier.
In 1928, Disney created his most famous character, Mortimer Mouse, who we know today as Mickey. The mouse starred in a cartoon called Steamboat Willie, which was unusual because it involved the use of a sound track. Within the next few years, Disney invented many of his other characters.
The list of Disney’s animation successes is long and memorable. It includes Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, and Peter Pan. Perhaps his most remarkable animated film is Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Created in 1937, it was an immediate success. Today, more than fifty years later, it is still one of the most popular films for children.
1. What is one of the chief differences between animation today and in Walt Disney’s early years?
A. More people like animated movies.
B. Fewer people like animated movies.
C. Computers have made the job easier.
D. Computers have made the job harder.
2. Which of these words best describes Walt Disney?
A. Creative. B. Athletic. C. Exciting. D. Quiet.
3. What makes the film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs so remarkable?
A. It was a little success when created.
B. It took more than a year to make it.
C. It was made at a time when there were no computers.
D. It has remained popular for more than fifty years.
4. What does the underlined word “painstaking” in Paragraph 3 probably mean?
A. Something that hurts because it involves hard work.
B. Taking a long time and involving much hard work.
C. Requiring a lot of effort, like running a marathon.
D. Requiring many fine tools, such as pens and pencils.
答案:1. C 2. A 3. D 4. B
People often talk as if shyness is a disease or mental condition that can be cured. I prefer to think of it as an emotional disability. It is something we are born with and something we carry with us in our entire lives. There are too many people, however, who seem to be determined to find some way of doing away with their shyness. In my opinion, it’s a waste of time. I don’t mean that we should do nothing about it. On the contrary, I think we need to separate the basic fact of our shyness from our ability to take part in a social activity.
Look at one of the most famous shy people of them all, Johnny Carson. This man is painfully shy, yet for decades he made a living talking and associating with different people every night, in front of a national audience. Carson has never done away with his shyness, but he has successfully found a way to deal with it to the extent that he could be, not just a talk show host, but a legend (传奇) among talk show hosts. Look also at Sally Fields, who has recently admitted her problem with shyness. This is a woman who has appeared in many films, TV shows and interviews, yet in her early years, she was so shy that she turned down a lunch invitation from Jane Fonda because she was terribly afraid of meeting her.
I guess that our shyness is there because each of us is born with some insecurity(不安全感) and this insecurity prevents us from reaching out to others in the way people with a more open personality do. As we grow up and become adults, we allow our social skills to grow and develop. But we are still stuck in kindergarten or elementary school or wherever it was when our shyness took root in our soul.
1. In the author’s view, shyness can be explained as ________.
A. a disease that can be easily cured
B. an abnormal mental condition
C. an emotional disability
D. something we pick up after birth
2. The author believes it’s a waste of time to ____________.
A. develop a healthy personality
B. talk with as many people as possible
C. study where shyness comes from
D. look for ways to do away with one’s shyness
3.Which of the following is TRUE of Johnny Carson?
A. He dared to speak in front of a national audience.
B. He did away with his shyness carefully.
C. He was described as a hero in some legend books.
D. He failed to become a good talk show host.
4. The passage tells us that Sally Fields was ______.
A. proud all the time
B. impolite when young
C. shy in her early years
D. close to Jane Fonda
答案:1. C 2. D 3. A 4. C

参考范文:
It is important for you to learn some knowledge about first aid in daily life. If a person has an accident,he needs medical care before a doctor can be found. When you give first aid,you must pay attention to three things. First, when a person stops breathing, open his/her mouth and see if there is food at the back of his/her mouth. Second, if a person cannot breathe, do your best to start his/her breathing at once, using a mouth-to-mouth way. Third, if a person is badly hurt, try at once to stop the bleeding. Then take him/her to a doctor. If a person loses one third of his/her blood, he/she may die. Everybody should know some first aid knowledge in order to save other people’s lives.
