27、Recently I have discovered it’s often easier for me to do something every day than to do it just some days. I post to my blog six days a week. I take notes every day. I write in my one-sentence journal every day. Many people have told me that they find it easier to exercise when they exercise every day. If I try to do something just four days a week, I spend a lot of time arguing with myself: Is today the day, or is it tomorrow, or the next day? Does the week start on Sunday or Monday?

If you do something every day, you tend to fall into a routine. Routine has a bad reputation for lacking excitement. It’s true that novelty and challenge bring happiness and that people who break their routines, try new things, and go to new places are happier, but I think that some routine activities also bring happiness. The pleasure of doing the same thing, in the same way, every day, shouldn’t be overlooked. By repeating, you can find happiness in activities like doing dishes or sweeping the floor as well as in your beloved morning coffee-and-news routines.

Two geniuses whom I know of also wrote about the power of doing something every day. Andy Warhol wrote, “Either once only, or every day. If you do something once it’s exciting, and if you do it every day it’s exciting. But if you do it, say, twice or just almost every day, it’s not good any more.” Gertrude Stein made a similar point, “Anything one does every day is important and anywhere one lives is interesting and beautiful.”

So if there’s something that you wish you did more regularly, try doing it every day; if you do something every day, take great pleasure in it.

【1】In the first paragraph, what does the author try to tell us?

A. It’s easier to do the same thing every day.

B. It’s important to do the same thing every day.

C. He has a good habit of following routines.

D. He enjoys the habit of following routines.

【2】People usually tend to break their routines because they________.

A. hope to have a better reputation

B. would like to get rid of the old habit

C. want to have fun and excitement

D. are willing to face new challenges

【3】Which of the following statements does Andy Warhol probably agree to?

A. Doing something that is exciting.

B. Doing something almost every day.

C. Doing something every day, not only once.

D. Doing something every day or only once.

【4】Which can be the best title of the passage?

A. A Way To Form A Habit B. Do Anything Every Day

C. Repeat Regularly     D. Power Of Everyday Repetition

28、   The moment I was born, I seemed to be part of a set, as if my twin brother David and I were a package deal. We faced constant comparisons in our physical appearance. People were always comparing our personalities and academic performances as well! These constant comparisons made me decide not to go to the same university as my twin brother.

That is not to say we didn’t have good academic experiences in the past or didn’t get along. In eleventh grade, we were placed in the same class. I recall arriving early to the first class and being a bit disappointed when I saw David already seated at his desk. It was hard to avoid comparisons when we were in the same class. However, we found that we actually worked well together, in our own way. We would argue about the best way to solve a problem and debate its answer. As the year went on, I noticed that our teacher kept moving us closer and closer together. Our argument was actually productive.

However, we were two very different individuals. I was very involved in after-school activities, while David had better test scores than I did. I’m fond of writing while David enjoys playing computer games. I am currently studying English and French at McGill University, while David is studying computer science at Union College.

Besides escaping comparisons, there have been other benefits to going to different universities. The first one is that we are forced to talk to each other, as we no longer see each other every day. This is healthier for our relationship. The second, also the more important one, is that after having so many similar experiences together we can have our own experiences separate from one another. Going to a different university has benefited me thus far. It allows for more personal growth, and I’m not attached to the label of being a twin.

【1】What did the author think about the constant comparisons?

A.He was bored with them. B.He cared little about them.

C.He tried his best to study them. D.He forced himself to accept them.

【2】What was beneficial when the author was in the same class with David?

A.Strict teachers. B.Productive arguments.

C.Performing in his own way. D.Classmates ignoring the twins.

【3】Why does the author think it a wise choice to go to a different university?

A.He can escape arguing with David. B.He can avoid David in everyday life.

C.He can be less dependent on David. D.He can pursue a personal experience.

【4】What question is the passage mainly intended to answer?

A.Why did people like to compare me with my twin brother?

B.What are the main benefits of being twin brothers at school?

C.Why did I choose a different university with my twin brother?

D.How can twin brothers get along well with each other at school?

29、When I worked on the manufacturing shop（车间）floor, we rarely saw plant managers except for one. He often walked through the plant. He checked out product quality. He stopped for a brief word—usually no more than a "hello". He wasn't outgoing. He didn't display any of the qualities typically associated with a "leader". Yet we liked him,

In a 1992 University of Pittsburgh study, researchers had four women attend a number of different classes. Their attendance was different: one woman might attend every class; a different woman might attend only a few. What didn't differ was their behavior. None of the women spoke in class or spoke to other students.

At the end of the term, students were asked which woman they liked best. Who "won"? Women who attended the highest number of classes. According to the researchers, "Mere exposure（暴露）had weak effects on familiarity, but strong effects on attraction and similarity," Or in non-researcher-speak: If I see you frequently, I naturally like you more. That's the power of showing up.

Knowing someone will show up in the future also matters. In a 1967 University of Minnesota study, researchers gave study participants profiles（简况）of two people and told them that one would be a partner in future discussion groups. When asked, the participants said they liked their future partner more. Even though the profiles were almost the same.

Want your team or your customers to like you more? Show up. Drop in. Drop by, Send a brief note. Make a quick phone call. You don't have to say or do much, Then, be consistent（一致的）in your behavior. In time, people will expect you to drop in or drop by, whether in person or virtually（在线的）. Expecting future contact will make them like you more.

【1】What does the first paragraph serve as?

A．A background.

B．A comment.

C．An introduction.

D．An explanation.

【2】Why did the students like one of the women best according to the 1992 study?

A．She behaved more like others.

B．She attended classes more often.

C．She often greeted others enthusiastically.

D．She answered questions frequently.

【3】What did the University of Minnesota study find?

A．Familiarity leads to likability.

B．Virtual contacts benefit likability.

C．Identical behaviours improve likability.

D．Future partnership increases likability.

【4】How can you make your team or customers like you more?

a. By pointing out their problems often.                    

b. By showing up often.

c. By making a phone call often.                           

d. By rarely complaining about them.

e. By being consistent in your behavior.                    

f. By sending them a brief note often.

A．a, b, c, e

B．b, c, e, f

C．c, d, e, f

D．a, c, d, e

30、I grew up with my best friend, who was just like a sister to me. It wasn't until the spring of 1987 that I noticed a change in her. She was quick to anger, and her attitude was  ______. It was not like her at all. I asked her many times what was wrong. Her ______ each time was “I'm fine”．

As time went on, she became more  ______ and became a person I did not know anymore. All I wanted to do was to help her. Every time I tried, she would get  ______ and say she was fine.

I felt so helpless, so alone, I was  ______ her and I didn't know why. This seemed to be a  ______ I would not get an answer to.

The summer of 1988, I finally got my answer. My best friend had  ______ because of the effects of drugs. My mother  ______ put her arms around me, and told me my best friend died because of a lethal dose. Well, for a minute my  ______ stood still, along with my heart. There was nothing to say or do. There were just tears in my eyes in  ______．

My best friend was a  ______ kid who made a mistake. I spent that whole summer trying to figure out why I didn't pick up on what was going on.  ______ over and over again, if only I had spent time noticing the signs. Maybe I could have  ______ her.

My mother, seeing my  ______， sat me down, and told me this.

“Some things are not in our control. Sometimes ‘______’ aren't enough. You can't blame yourself for the path your friend  ______. What you can do is learn from her mistake, volunteer at school for drug prevention and let other children know what happened to your friend, and  ______ it made you feel. It makes sense, doesn't it? Prevention  ______ education.”

She's right, and it does make sense. Since then I've never once  ______ myself for her death. Instead I  ______ for the programs of SADD and DARE. Each year, at an assembly I tell new students what happened and the danger of drugs, making sense with “Prevention with Education”．

32、阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行第二自然段续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Andy, a 15-year-old boy, and his mother Emily didn’t have much in life, living daily with just enough to eat three meals and pay the bills. Without his mother knowing, Andy had been saving up his pocket money for months to buy her a birthday present. He had collected a total of $25.

As a cleaner at a nearby park, Emily never took a bus, choosing to walk to and from work to save money. One day, Andy noticed that her mother came home wet to the skin. She told him her umbrella broke because of the strong wind and she wanted to get home in time to have dinner with him.

The following day, his mother woke up with a fever. “Mom, I’m sure you have to stay in bed today” Andy told her. “I’ll look after you. Here is your medicine,” he said, handing her a glass of water. Then, Andy left the house and walked towards the nearby supermarket to buy vegetables with which to cook some so up for his mother.

It occurred to him that his mother’s birthday was in a couple of days, so he decided to get his mother an umbrella first and spend the rest of his money on food.

“What is your strongest umbrella here, sir?” he asked the shop assistant. “I am looking for one that won’t break easily.” The man showed Andy a variety of umbrellas. Andy believed the purple one would be the best choice, his mother’s favorite color. It was $22. Andy almost jumped with joy! The boy was happy that he managed to lend his mom a hand by finding her something she really needed. Also, he even had some money to spare!

Stepping out of the shop with the gift and vegetables in his shopping bag, Andy realized it was starting to rain. He was running to a nearby bus stop to seek shelter with other people when he noticed an old lady walking slowly and struggling for a balance. It was pouring down. Without hesitation, he took the umbrella out of his bag and ran over.

Paragraph 1:

The old lady looked up and realized an umbrella was sheltering her from the rain. She cast him an appreciative look with a beam of delight.” Thank you. And by the way, it’s wise to get an umbrella before the rain started pouring,” she said. Andy shook his head, telling her that his mom’s umbrella was broken, and he wanted to get her a new one she could use for years.” I didn’t expect that. But it must be very nice to have a caring boy like you,” she replied, helping Andy to wipe off the raindrops on the umbrella. They exchanged a knowing look and waved goodbye after the rain stopped.
