A
I believe that my actions show my beliefs, not my words.
I wrote a letter to my kids a few years ago. It’s three pages long, and it sums up my life experience of four decades. By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc. I sealed the letter in a white envelope, and wrote instructions that nobody should open it unless something horrible happened to me.
As a police officer, I have seen life disappear in an instant. I realize that could happen to me at any time. Yet knowing that letter is there in my locker makes me more comfortable with my own death.
Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written. If that day comes and my children finally read the letter, I hope that because of my actions, they will take my written beliefs to heart and improve upon my example.
But for me, it’s not enough to write down my beliefs. I try to be the best person I can be every day-even in very difficult circumstances. I am more successful some days than others, but sometimes I curse too much. Sometimes I am cynical, unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something. I also get stressed and upset, yelling at my kids sometimes, and sometimes I am not as loving
or as sympathetic as I should be. In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.
1. Which of the following can best describe the author? A. Humorous. C. Selfless.
B. Interesting. D. Considerate.
2. Why did the author open the locker to see the letter every day? A. He wanted to confirm his beliefs.
B. The letter served as a reminder.
C. He kept adding something new to it. D. His kids asked him to check it. 3. Which can replace the underlined word “cynical” in the last paragraph? A. Doubtful about others’ motivations. B. Curious about everything around. C. Worried about his future life.
D. Unsatisfied about his profession.
4. What is the author’s understanding of life? A. Parents should care for children. C. To be better today than yesterday. 【答案】1. D 2. B 3. A 4. C 【解析】
这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者由自己给孩子写的一封信入手,给孩子们提供了一些宝贵的人生建议,并谈论了自己对生活的认识——真正重要的是,与其写下我们的看法,不如采取行动,成为最好的人。 【1题详解】
推理判断题。根据第二段中By the time they reach adulthood, they will have heard most of their father’s advice in that letter: live in the moment, do not attach yourself to physical things, treat others the way you would like to be treated, etc.可知到他们成年的时候,他们将会听到父亲在信中给出的大部分建议：活在当下,不要把自己和物质联系在一起,己所不欲,勿施于人,等等。由此可推知,作者是个很体贴的人。故选D。 【2题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段中Every day, when I open my locker, I see the letter. It makes
B. To become a successful father. D. Bad guys deserve to be punished.
me aware that I should be careful at work, and show my children and the people I have connection with that I try to practice everything I have written.可知这让我意识到,我在工作中应该小心谨慎,让我的孩子和与我有联系的人知道,我尝试实践我写的每一件事。由此可知,作者每天打开储物柜看这封信是因为这封信起到了提醒的作用。故选B。 【3题详解】
词义猜测题。根据后文unwilling to believe that people have good and honest reasons for doing something.可知作者不愿意相信人们有好的和诚实的理由做某件事,这说明作者怀疑别人的动机,故划线单词意思为“怀疑他人的动机”。故选A。 【4题详解】
推理判断题。根据最后一段中In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.可知事实上,我远非完美,但我希望我的孩子们最终会意识到,完美是一种幻觉。真正重要的是,与其写下我们的看法,不如采取行动,成为最好的人。由此可推知,作者对生活的理解是今天（的自己）比昨天（的自己）更好。故选C。
【点睛】本篇第4题难度最大,抓住作者的感悟是关键,夹叙夹议文的哲理感悟通常会体现在文章最后的议论部分,这是由夹叙夹议文的特点决定的。根据最后一段中In fact, I am far from perfect, but I hope my children will eventually realize that perfection is an illusion. What really matters is that, instead of just writing down our beliefs, we all take action to be the best humans we can be.可知事实上,我远非完美,但我希望我的孩子们最终会意识到,完美是一种幻觉。真正重要的是,与其写下我们的看法,不如采取行动,成为最好的人。由此可推知,作者对生活的理解是今天（的自己）比昨天（的自己）更好。故选C。

Are visible tattoos an invitation to stare at a person? A blog post on LinkedIn titled “But You Asked Me to Stare At Your Tattoos” is causing debate after its author declared that if someone has a visible tattoo, they are inviting attention on themselves.
