16、 The Touchstone When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story goes, one book was saved. But it was not a valuable book; and so a poor man, who could read a little, bought it for very little money. The book wasnt very interesting, but between its pages there was something very interesting in
17、deed. It was a thin strip of vellum on which was written the secret of the “Touchstone”! The touchstone was a small pebble that could turn any common metal into pure gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands and thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secr
18、et was this: The real stone would feel warm, while ordinary pebbles are cold. So the man sold his few belongings, bought some simple supplies, camped on the seashore, and began testing pebbles. He knew that if he picked up ordinary pebbles and threw them down again because they were cold, he might p
19、ick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea. He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone. Yet he went on and on this way. Pick up a pebble. Cold - throw it into the sea. Pick up another. Throw it into the sea. Pick up
20、 another. Throw it into the sea. The days stretched into weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, about mid-afternoon, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea
21、 that when the one he wanted came along he still threw it away. So it is with opportunity. Unless we are careful, its easy to fail to recognize an opportunity when it is in hand, and its just as easy to throw it away. 【小题 1】 The man bought the book because _. A he wanted to read it B it was very int
22、eresting C there was a secret in the book D he wanted to find the touchstone 【小题 2】 We can learn from the passage that the touchstone is _. A pure B cold C magic D big 【小题 3】 Why did the man throw the pebbles into the sea A Because he didnt want to get the same pebbles. B Because he didnt want other

C We may seize opportunities when we ar
24、e watchful. D We may discover opportunities when forming habits. 答案：【小题 1】 A【小题 1】 C【小题 1】 A【小题 1】 C I have to admit: I dont flush the toilet every time I go to the bathroom. In fact, I firmly believe “If its yellow, let it mellow; if its brown, flush it down.” Im sure a lot of it has to do with the
25、 fact that I work at home. Alone (well, except for the cats and dogs). All day. And I drink a lot of water, which makes for many trips to the bathroom. Another thing I have to admit: I also try to use very little toilet paper. I wash my hands after, though. Every time. (So maybe the water I dont use
26、 flushing makes up for the water used to wash my hands ) Ironically, my husband, who only uses toilet paper when necessary, always flushes. But he doesnt seem to mind that I dont flush every time. Or, at least not enough to file for divorce yet. Posted by Juliet Farmer Jun 14, 2010 at 10:21 PM Comme
27、nts (2) When Im at home alone I do not flush every time I pee(小便 ). My husband hates that, though, so when hes home, I flush a little more often. I grew up doing that because I had a family that lived with huge tanks and you have to do it that way because its easier on the system, so it doesnt bothe
28、r me. I do flush when Im out in public, at peoples houses that dont have big tanks and when we have company! CherBearCM, Jun 15, 2010 at 4:21 PM Not always. But I have 4 children who are always hanging from the door knob（球形捏手） while I pee anyway. So Im lucky I have time to wash my hands after. The a

32、y suspected: Three out of four babies who died of SIDS(婴儿猝死 ) involved co-sleeping. Well say it again. The safest course is not to sleep with babies. We know the argument: Bad parenting, not co-sleeping, is to blame for the dozens of babies deaths. Some parents stick to co-sleeping because it helps
33、them bond with their newborns. They say those who give co-sleeping a bad name either had been drinking, used drugs or were too tired to notice that they rolled over on their children. But, most of the cases did not involve drugs or alcohol. Theres a “but” here, however. Submitting to a test for drug
34、s or alcohol in these cases is voluntary, so its difficult to know with certainty. Organizations like the Black Health Coalition and others have explained the safe way to co-sleep. While we understand those arguments, we also know that mistakes can happen and that it only takes one time for somethin
35、g to go terribly wrong. The risk outweighs the benefit. In all likelihood , parents will continue to co-sleep, and some will do so without ever having an incident, but babies are too vulnerable(易受伤的 ) for parents to take such chances. Therefore, the best place for babies to sleep is in their own bed
36、s, on their backs, with no pillows, blankets or toys. No parent wants a tragedy to occur. The best way to make sure the tragedy doesnt happen is to allow babies to sleep alone in their own cribs. 【小题 1】 According to the author, most of the SIDS cases happened because of _. A drugs B co-sleeping C dr

But is the person who says it first really in a position of weakness Doesnt it pay to hold back, play it cool and wait until the other half has shown their hand fast A really good relationship should be about “being fair and being equal,” says psycholo
41、gist Sidney Crown. “But love is seldom equal.” All relationships go through power struggles but, he says, if a love imbalance continues for years, the rot will set in. “That feeling of Ive always loved you more may be subverted(颠覆，破坏 ) for a time, but it never goes away completely and it often emerg
42、es in squabbling(大声争吵 ).” In love, at least, the silent, withholding type is not always the most powerful. “The strongest one in a relationship is often the person who feels confident enough to talk about their feelings,” says educational psychologist Ingrid Collins. Psychosexual therapist Paula Hal
43、l agrees. “The one with the upper hand is often the person who takes the initiative. In fact, the person who says I love you first may also be the one who says I m bored with you first.” Hall believes that much depends on how “I love you” is said and the motivation of the person saying it. “Is it sa
44、id when theyre drunk Is it said before their partner files off on holiday, and what it really means is Please don t be unfaithful to me ” By saying I love you, they are really saying Do you love me If so, wouldnt it just be more honest to say that. Collins agrees tha t intention is everything. “Its

What it comes down to is the sincerity of the speaker.” 【小题 1】 What is the main idea of this passage A The importance of “I love you” B The meaning of “I love you” C The time of saying “I love you” D The place of saying “I love you” 【小题 2】 In the first sentence th
