Question

 

I am a good mother to three children. I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.

I no longer consider myself the center of the universe. I show up. I listen. I try to laugh. I am a good friend to my husband. I have tried to make marriage vows(誓約) mean what they say. I am a good friend to my friends，and they to me. Without them，there would be nothing to say to you today.

So here’s what I want to tell you today：get a life. A real life，not a desire of the next promotion(提升)，the bigger paycheck and the larger house.

Get a life in which you are not alone. Find people you love，and who love you. And remember that love is not leisure(休閑) but work. Pick up the phone. Send an e­mail. Write a letter. And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.

It is so easy to waste our lives，our days，our hours，and our minutes. It is so easy to exist instead of living. I learned to live many years ago. Something really，really bad happened to me，something that changed my life. If I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all.

I learned to love the journey，not the destination. I learned to look at all the good in the world and tried to give some of it back because I believed in it，completely and totally. And I tried to do that，in part，by telling others what I had learned.

By telling them this：read in the backyard with the sun on your face. Learn to be happy. And think of life as a deadly illness，because if you do，you will live with joy and passion(激情) as it ought to be lived.

試題分析：什么是真正的生活？是最后的終點(diǎn)？還是沿途的風(fēng)景？在本文中作者告訴我們要有真正的生活，不要受到身外之物的影響。

1.B 推理題。根據(jù)文章第三段So here’s what I want to tell you today：get a life. A real life，not a desire of the next promotion(提升)，the bigger paycheck and the larger house.可知本文是呼吁我們要真正地享受生活，而不是受到身外之物的羈絆。故B正確。

2.C 推理題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第三段I learned to live many years ago. Something really，really bad happened to me，something that changed my life. If I had my choice，it would never have been changed at all. And what I learned from it is what，today，seems to be the hardest lesson of all.可知我是從自己過去的一次經(jīng)歷中學(xué)會(huì)了這樣的感悟。希望自己能夠真正地感悟與生活，再也不想回到過去。故C正確。

3.A  推理題。根據(jù)本句. It is so easy to exist instead of living.可知不是過真正的生活，只是存在，這樣是很容易的事情。也就是A項(xiàng)的內(nèi)容與上下文是吻合的。

4.A 推理題。作者從過去的經(jīng)歷中感知到生活的真諦，過著真正的生活。而不是追求那些無用的身外之物。說明作者在生活中是一個(gè)真正的成功人士。故A正確。
