2."Have you checked the oil in the car?" my father used to say to me,his version of "Hello,hope you are well." Sometimes our phone calls would begin with an inquiry about the oil and end with an inquiry about the oil,with not a lot in between.
Fathers have a lot of love to give,but it's often supplied through the medium of practical advice.The affectionate phrase "You made my life better from the moment you were born" may be rarely heard,but there is the more common "I'll hold the ladder while you get the leaves off the roof."
Why can't we fathers just say "I love you" or "It's great to see you" ?The point is:That' s exactly what we are saying.You just have to translate from the language that is Fatherlish.Listen closely enough and the phrase "I love you" can be heard in the lengthier "I could come around Saturday and replace the silicon seal around the base of your toilet because I reckon that thing is getting really smelly."
When I was 17,I went on my first road trip.My father stood on the corner in the predawn of a cold morning to bid us farewell. "Highways are dangerous," he said, "so don't try overtaking anything faster than a horse and buggy.And take a break every two hours.And every time you stop for gas,you really should check the oil." At the time we thought his speech was funny and would chant "horse-and-buggy" every time I floored the accelerator.
Dad's long gone now.But after all these years,I realize that had I owned a copy of the Fatherlish-to-English dictionary,I'd have understood that the speech my friend and I so casually mocked was simply Dad's attempt at affection.
(1)According to the passage,how do fathers usually show their affection?
A.By inquiring their kids' car.
B.By doing rather than saying.
C.By offering helpful advice.
D.By accompanying their kids.
(2)Why does the author mention his first road trip?
A.To exemplify the unique parental concern.
B.To provide some background knowledge.
C.To explain the reasons for my mocking.
D.To present my father's funny speech.
(3)What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.My father has gone somewhere faraway.
B.I regretted making fun of my father's speech.
C.I owned a copy of Fatherlish-to-English dictionary.
D.My father's speech got across to me when I was 17.
(4)Which words can best describe the author's father?
A.Caring and considerate.
B.Devoted and generous.
C.Talkative and humorous.
D.Knowledgeable and diligent.組卷:7引用:1難度:0.5 -
3.A study of 8 different experiments showed that our brains tend to prefer addition rather than subtraction when it comes to finding solutions—in many cases,it seems we just don't consider the strategy of taking something away at all.
The researchers found that this preference for adding was noticeable in three situations in particular:when people were under higher cognitive (認(rèn)知的) load,when there was less time to consider the other options,and when volunteers didn't get a specific reminder that subtracting was an option.In one of the experiments,participants were asked to improve a Lego structure so that it was able to take more weight.Half the volunteers were reminded that they could take away bricks as well as add them,and half weren't.In the group that got the reminder,61 percent solved the problem by taking away a brick—which was a much faster and more efficient way of making the structure stable.In the group that didn't get the reminder,only 41 percent went for the removing bricks approach.
"Additive ideas come to mind quickly and easily,but subtractive ideas require more cognitive effort," says psychologist Benjamin Converse,from the University of Virginia. "Because people are often moving fast and working with the first ideas that come to mind,they end up accepting additive solutions without considering subtraction at all."
The researchers have a few ideas about what might be going on.Our brains might find additive changes easier to process perhaps,or we might be associating adding with ideas of something that's bigger and therefore better in our subconscious.There might also be associations in our minds with the current status being something that needs to be maintained as much as possible—and taking something away is arguably more destructive to the current status than adding something new.
The researchers say their work is important in a much broader sense:for institutions looking to streamline (簡(jiǎn)化),for example,and even for the human race looking for ways to better manage the planet's resources.
(1)What does the underlined word "subtraction" in paragraph 1 refer to?
A.Removal.
B.Moderation.
C.Refusal.
D.Solution.
(2)In which situation do people prefer adding?
A.When they are under high pressure.
B.When they lack cognitive ability.
C.When they are specially reminded.
D.When they are hurried to decide.
(3)What were participants required to do in the experiment?
A.Re-shape Lego bricks.
B.Take Lego bricks away.
C.Move the Lego structure.
D.Stabilize the Lego structure.
(4)What is paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.The ways to make additive changes.
B.The effects of taking something away.
C.The reasons for brains preferring addition.
D.The importance of maintaining current status.組卷:8引用:1難度:0.5

9.I love to play the piano and I greatly enjoy performing my songs,so when the annual winter recital was canceled,I was disappointed.I had looked forward to it for a long time and had already prepared two of my best songs.
My mom had a wonderful idea,however,to turn this disappointing letdown into something worthwhile. "You can perform your songs at Carriage House Senior Living," my mom suggested brightly. "I'm sure the seniors there who do not have families visit them that often,would really appreciate the music and you could play more than just two songs."
I immediately thought this was a great idea.One of the things I did not like about the recitals was that I was limited to playing just a couple of songs.Playing the piano at Carriage House seemed like a win-win situation because not only would I get to play more songs,but I would also have the chance to cheer up the residents there with some lively tunes.
My mom called Carriage House and made arrangements for me to perform.In the coming days,I worked especially hard to polish up fifteen pieces that I thought the crowd would enjoy,including many old classics.
When the much-anticipated day finally arrived,my family and I drove to Carriage House.Walking through the enormous double doors,we stepped into an entryway that overlooked the spacious grand dining room.Right at the entrance to the dining room stood the piano as if it were just waiting to make some music to liven the place up a bit.At nearly every table several gray-haired women or men were seated enjoying their dinner and the company that the crowded room provided.Despite the conversations going on at various tables though,isolation hung like a dark cloud in the room.
Almost immediately,we were greeted by an old woman with a walker who introduced herself as Phyllis in charge of Carriage House.She welcomed me and led me to the stage.

As I sat down on the bench,I pressed a key on the piano and was surprised to hear no sound._________
Nervousness melted away and I started to enjoy the performance with the old.______________組卷:23引用:4難度:0.5
