阅读专题训练之美文篇(一) Learning aims: Tap your potential of reading a long and difficulty essay; Review or accumulate some useful expressions, especially those related to your writing; Thinking before reading: How to read a long and difficulty passage in reading comprehension? Part 1-----Reading comprehension (within 8 minutes!) All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to live. Sometimes it was as long as a year, sometimes as short as 24 hours. But always we were interested in discovering just how the doomed hero chose to spend his last days or his last hours. I speak, of course, of free men who have a choice, not condemned criminals whose sphere of activities is strictly delimited. Such stories set us thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances. what events, what experiences, what associations should we crowd into those last hours as mortal beings, what regrets? Sometimes I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who by the certainty of impending death. In stories the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do. Most of us, however, take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture that day as far in the future. When we are in buoyant health, death is all but unimaginable. We seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless vista. So we go about our petty tasks, hardly aware of our listless attitude toward life. The same lethargy, I am afraid, characterizes the use of all our faculties and senses. Only the deaf appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the manifold blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have never suffered impairment of sight or hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed faculties. Their eyes and ears take in all sights and sounds hazily, without concentration and with little appreciation. It is the same old story of not being grateful for what we have until we lose it, of not being conscious of health until we are ill. I have often thought it would be a blessing if each human being were stricken blind and deaf for a few days at some time during his early adult life. Darkness would make him more appreciative of sight; silence would teach him the joys of sound. Choose the best answer according to the passage: 1. The main idea that the author tries to show is that_______. A. people who live in the shadow of death are more appreciative of the meaning of life. B. most of us regard health as something quite usual and ordinary while we are healthy. D. people should be taught how to use their sight and hearing. 2. The underlined word “doomed” in the first paragraph probably means ___________. A. fated B. happy C. lucky D. blessing 3. Why does the author mention health in the last sentence of paragraph 6? A. Because it is one of the “faculties and senses”, like sight and hearing. B. Because it illustrates her point about “not being grateful for what we have until we lost it.” C. Because it is the subject of an old story which she has in mind. D. Because health is important for our sight and hearing. 4. Which of the following would be a “blessing”(para.7), if they struck us for a few days? A. Blindness and deafness. B. Sight and hearing C. Darkness and silence. D.
