1、课时素养检测 三Unit 1Period 3. 阅读理解ABeing thirteen has certain problems that only another thirteen-year-old would understand. The biggest, I think, is learning to get along well with adults. I have found that when dealing with grown-ups, it is wise to remember two things. 1. Always use your head2. Never us
2、e your headFor instance, one day just before supper, my mother sent me to the store for a loaf of whole-wheat bread. They didnt have any. When I told my mother, she said, “Well, what kind did you get? ” I told her I didnt get any. She looked as if I had just announced that I was leaving home for goo
3、d. “For goodness sake! ” she said, “If they hadnt had whole-wheat, you should have got something else! Why dont you use your head? ”Not long after that, she sent me to the store for red oilcloth. They didnt have any, so I bought seven yards of purple. I thought it was pretty. Mother didnt. She said,
4、 “Who ever heard of purple oilcloth in a red kitchen? ” I told her I was only trying to use my head. She said. “Well, dont! And in the future, if you cant get what I send you for, dont get anything. ”See what I mean? There are other things that seem a little strange, too. If my father goes out for t
5、he evening, he tells me to “look after” my mother and sister. But if the family goes out, and I want to stay home, my father wont let me. He doesnt feel comfortable if I am home alone. That means I am old enough to “look after” my mother and sister but not old enough to “look after” myself. Another
6、problem is what to do when you trip over the cat and land with your head in the refrigerator, causing a large lump(肿块) to appear just over the right eyebrow. In that case, your father could feel free to say with a few choice words. Your sister could shed(流出)enough tears to dampen the whole room. You
7、r mother could, and probably would, do both. But you? You are thirteen and cant do anything! You are too young to curse(咒骂), and “big boys” dont cry. So you just stand there looking more stupid than usual. But in spite of all this I still think thirteen is a wonderful age! 【语篇概述】本文主要介绍了一个13岁孩子的困惑, 该

12、ou have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain. Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, several older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing? ” ask
13、ed one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth! ” one of the brothers answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a bottl
14、e full of spiders and insects. He removed the lid(盖子) and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we dont dig all the way through the earth, look at what we found along the way! ”Their goal was far too difficult, but it
15、made them big. And that is what a goal is forto make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us digging! But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of you
16、r aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something! ” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters. 【语篇概述】并非每一个目标都要实现, 并非每一项任务都要完成, 并非每一个梦想都要成真, 并非每一份爱恋都能长久。
17、我们的目标可能遥不可及, 但是其真正的意义在于它指引我们前行, 而不是要我们一定实现。请记住: 旅途中的快乐才是最重要的! 5. One of the brothers showed a bottle to the older boys to _.
