AI once met a well-known botanist at a dinner party. I had never talkedwith a botanist before, and I found him fascinating. I sat there absorbedand listened while he spoke of unusual plants and hisexperiments (he even told me astonishing facts about the simple potato).I had a small indoor garden of my own ---and he was good enough to tell mehow to solve some of my problems.As I said, we were at a dinner party. There must have been a dozen other guests, but I broke an important rule of politeness. I ignored everyone else and talked for hours to the botanist.Midnight came, I said good night to everyone and departed. The botanist then turned to our host and said many nice things about me, including thatI was a “most interesting conversationalist. ”An interesting conversationalist? I had said hardly anything at all. Icouldn ’t have said anything if I had wanted to without changing the subject, for I didn ’t know any more about plants than I knew about sharks. But Ihad done this one thing: I had listened carefully. I listened because I was really interested. And he felt it. Naturally that pleased him. That k ind of listening is one of the the best ways to show respect to others, and itmakes them feel great too. “Few human beings , ” wrote Jack Woodford in Strangers in Love, “can resist the sweet effect of rapt attention . ” I w ent even further than that. I was “sincere in my admiration and generous inmy praise. ”I told him that I had been hugely entertained and instructed. I had.I told him I wished I had his told him that I should love to wander the fields with him. What ’s more, it was all true.And so I had him thinking of me as a good conversationalist when, inreality, I had been merely a good listener and had encouraged him to talk.26.

They use timers on their kids' showers and have planted drought- tolerant landscaping. But they feel kind of guilt. “I haven’t thought about the pool as much as I probably should, ” said Annette Siefert.As California's drought worsens, swimming pools have becomea target for those who think the classic backyard greens waste water. Some waterdistricts have banned new pools from being filled and have limited how much water existing pools can use.But some of those agencies are walking back the rules as they makea surprising discovery: Pools aren't the water wasters some have made themout to be. Analyses by various water districts, along with scientific studies, conclude that pools and their surrounding landscapes use about the sameamount of water as a lawn( 草坪 ) of the same size. Over time, pools might even use less water. With pool covers, experts say water evaporation( 蒸发 )can be cut by almost half, making pools significantly less wasteful than grass and about as efficient as drought-tolerant landscaping.Facing complaints over a recent ban on filling pools, the SantaMargarita Water District conducted its own water-use analysis. It found that pools require thousands of gallons of water to fill initially, but they useabout 8,000 gallons less water than a traditional landscape after that. Bythe third year, the analysis found, the savings add up, and a pool'scumulative water use falls below that of a lawn.Water agencies such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power have come to similar conclusions. Armed with new information, Santa Margarita Water District officials will reconsider their ban next week.“Wewant to respect the people's rights to use their property. There are many families we know that have saved for pools, ” said Jonathan Volzke, spokesman for the 155,000- customer district. “But at the same time, thereality around us is that we're in the third year of a serious drought, andwe don't know if we're in the third year of a three-year drought or the third year of a 10- year drought. ”【小题 1】 Annette Siefert feels guilty mainly because of ______.A．being a typical water wasterB．the water-use of their swimming poolC．her control over her kids' showers at homeD．the construction of the drought-tolerant landscaping【小题 2】 According to analyses and scientific studies, a swimming pool______.A．had belter be filled up in the beginningB．becomes more efficient against droughtC．isn't what people think to be wasteful of waterD．consumes more water than a lawn of the same size【小题 3】 What does Jonathan Volzke try to express in the last paragraph?A．He expects the serious drought to come to an end.B．He thinks highly of those who have saved for pools.C．He appeals for reasonable use of the swimming pools.D．He tries to maintain the right to use the swimming pools.【小题 4】 What would be the best title for the passage?A．Water Crisis In CaliforniaB．Strict Ban On Filling PoolsC．The Sieferts—Real Environmentalists?D．Pools — A Big Factor During Drought?。

张剑曾鸣编著《英语阅读理解150篇》Part ADirections:Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. (40 points)Text 1No t long after the telephone was invented, I assume, a call was placed. The caller was a parent saying, “your child is bullying my child, and I want it stopped!” The bully's parent replied, “you must have the wrong number. My child is a little angel.”A trillion phone calls later, the conversation is the same. When children are teased or tyrannized, the parental impulse is to grab the phone and rant. But these days, as studies in the U.S. show bullying on the rise and parental supervision on the decline, researchers who study bullying say that calling moms and dads is more futile than ever. Such calls often lead to playground recriminations and don't really teach our kids any lessons about how to navigate the world and resolve conflicts.When you call parents, you want them to “extract the cruelty”from their bullying children, says Laura Kavesh, a child psychologist in Evanston, Illinois. “But many parents are blown away by the idea of their child being cruel. They won t believe it.”In a recent police department survey in Oak Harbor, Washington, 89% of local high school students said they had engaged in bullying behavior. Yet only 18% of parents thought their children would act as bullies.In a new U.S.PTA survey, 5% of parents support contacting other parents to deal with bullying. But many educators warn that those conversations can be misinterpreted, causing tempers to flare. Instead, they say, parents should get objective outsiders, like principals, to mediate.Meanwhile, if you get a call from a parent who is angry about your child's bullying, listen without getting defensive. That's what Laura McHugh of Castro Valley, California, did when a caller told her that her then 13-year-old son had spit in another boy's food.Her son had confessed, but the victim's mom “wanted to make sure my son hadn't given her son a nasty disease,” says McHugh, who apologized and promised to get her son tested for AIDS and other diseases. She knew the chance of contracting any disease this way was remote, but her promise calmed the mother and showed McHugh's son that his bad behaviour was being taken seriously. McHugh, founder of Parents Coach Kids, a group that teaches parenting skills, sent the mom the test results. All were negative.Remember: once you make a call, you might not like what you hear. If you have an itchy dialing finger, resist temptation. Put it in your pocket. ［419 words］1.The word “bullying” probably means______.［A］frightening and hurting ［B］teasing［C］behaving like a tyrant ［D］laughing at2. Calling to a bully's parent.______.［A］has long existed but changed its content ［B］is often done with careful thinking［C］often leads to blaming and misunderstanding ［D］is used to warn the child not to do it again3.

Probably not, according to researchers who reviewed data from 12 clinical trials involving about 54,000 people. In a series of controversial papers, the researchers argue that the increased health risks tied to red meat are small and uncertain, and that cutting back likely wouldn't be worth it for people who enjoy meat.Those conclusions go against established medical advice. They were swiftly attacked by a group of famous U.S. scientists who took the unusual step of trying to stop the papers from being published until their criticisms were addressed.The new work does not say red or processed meats like hot dogs and bacon are healthy, or that people should eat more of them. The team's reviews of past studies generally support the ties to cancer, heart disease and other bad health outcomes. But the authors say the evidence is weak, and that there's not much certainty meat is really the cause, since other diet and lifestyle factors could be at play.If the latest example of how divisive nutrition research has become, with its uncertainties leaving the door open for conflicting advice. Critics say findings often aren't backed by strong evidence. Defenders counter that nutrition studies can rarely be conclusive because of the difficulty of measuring the effects of any single food, but that methods have improved.Based on their analyses, the researchers said people do not have to cut back for health reasons. But they noted that their own advice is weak, and acknowledged that they didn't consider factors such as animal welfare and the environment. Indeed, the case that meat production is bad for animal welfare and the environment is stronger than the case that it's bad for human health, according to an editorial that accompanies the report.Not all of the report authors agreed with its conclusions. Three of the 14 researchers said they support reducing red and processed meats. A coauthor of one of the reviews is also among those who called for a publication delay.Those who pushed to postpone publication also questioned why certain studies were included in the reviews while others were left out.As for his own diet, Dr. Gordon Guyatt, a member of the international research team that conducted the reviews, said he no longer thinks red or processed meats have significant health risks.

一轮复习最新高考英语阅读理解专题练习(及答案)一、高中英语阅读理解1．阅读理解As the President of Ariel Investments, I am often asked how to cultivate (培养) green hands to be qualified for a new job within a short time. My memories take me straight back to the days when I worked for John W. Rogers.While in college, I worked as an intern (实习生) at Ariel Investments. As the youngest girl of six kids from a single mom, I had very little knowledge of the business world. When I graduated, I decided to return to the company to improve myself.At the age of 22, my perspective was greatly influenced by lunching with the company's founder and then-president, John W. Rogers. He told me that I would often find myself in the company of rich and successful people with big titles, lots of degrees and lots of experience. And yet, my ideas could still be as good or even better, he said. This early advice became the guiding force that has helped me throughout my entire career. When I was starting out, I thought my inexperience was holding me back, but John said that it was a good thing. He told me that being inexperienced means that you have a fresh point of view.As my tutor, John encouraged me to be brave. As my boss, he took some giant leaps of faith to support me. Because of our first lunch and the years of support that followed, I never thought twice about speaking up, raising my hand or taking a seat at the table. Staying in the background was never a choice. But John's advice came with one important warning. I needed to keep my attitude in check. It's one thing to be firm but quite another to be rude. Similarly, there is a fine line between confidence and overconfidence. With that in mind, I have had to learn to balance the way I act around others.
