Every day on the road, accidents are caused. They do not only happen. The reason may be easy to see: an overloaded tray, a shelf out of reach, a patch of ice on the road. But more often than not there is a chain of events leading up to the misfortune-frustration, tiredness or just bad temper-that show what the accident really is, a sort of attack on oneself.
Road accidents, for example, happen frequently after a family quarrel, and we all know people who are accident-prone, so often at odds with themselves and the world that they seem to cause accidents for themselves and others.
By definition, an accident is something you cannot predict or avoid, and the idea which used to be current, that the majority of road accidents are caused by a minority of criminally careless drivers, is not supported by insurance statistics. These show that most accidents involve ordinary motorists in a moment of carelessness or thoughtlessness.
It is not always clear, either, what sort of conditions make people more likely to have an accident. For instance, the law requires all factories to take safety actions and most companies have safety committees to make sure the regulations are observed, but still, every day in Britain, some fifty thousand men and women are absent from work due to an accident. These accidents are largely the result of human error or misjudgment-noise and fatigue, boredom or worry are possible factors which contribute to this. Doctors who work in factories have found that those who drink too much, usually people who have a high anxiety level, run three times the normal risk of accidents at work.
【小题1】This passage might be written to         .

A.college studentsB.drivers
C.ordinary citizensD.businessmen
【小题2】“Accident-prone” in Paragraph 2 means          .
A.likely to have accidents B.injured in accidents
C.likely to die in accidentsD.responsible for road accidents
【小题3】The passage suggests that           .
A.accidents mostly result from slippery roads
B.accidents are usually caused by psychological factors
C.doctors run three times the normal risk of accidents in factories
D.about 50,000 people lost their lives at work in Britain every day
【小题4】Which of the following is NOT discussed as a factor of accidents in this passage?
A.Mood B.Carelessness C.TirednessD.Weather
【小题5】What do you think would be the best title for the passage?
A.Accidents and HumanB.Why accidents happen
C.Human Factors in AccidentsD.How to Prevent Accidents

There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.

People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors(拥有者). The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit.

Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend(冒犯) many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

1.People who are unhappy________.

A.always consider things differently from others

B.usually are affected by the results of certain things

C.always discover the unpleasant side of certain things

D.usually misunderstand what others think or say

2.The underlined phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means________.

A.make others unhappy

B.have a good taste with social life

C.tend to scold others openly

D.enjoy the pleasure of life

3. We can conclude (推断) from the second paragraph that________.

A.we should pity all such unhappy people

B.people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness

C.such unhappy people are dangerous to social life

D.unhappy people can not understand happy persons

4. In this passage, the writer mainly________.

A.describes two types of people

B.suggests the unhappy people should get rid of the habit of unhappiness

C.laughs at the unhappy people

D.tells people how to be happy in life

One year ago, when Fiona turned four, Sam and I decided to home-school her instead of sending her to pre-school.I have always felt that the 0-5 years are an irreplaceable dreamtime.As Fiona is an inventive, observant child, sensitive and funny and great company, it would be a tragedy to find school rubbing away her uniqueness and restricting the building of her personality.

I tried not to reproduce school at home.I never had the urge to get a chalk, or a blackboard.I didn’t go and search out a curriculum(课程表).I felt that my children would learn best if I stayed accessible (易接近的)and stayed out of their way.

Every day we worked some, relaxed some, read some and played some, but Fiona did not seem particularly happy here.She lost her temper once in a while.

How strange it was that my child who was free from school didn’t want to be free at all.Her friends all went to pre-school.She felt left out of a major part of her friends’ shared lives and experiences.I thought she was not in school for very strong, clear reasons, one of which was that the quality of learning my child did at home would be good, even better than expected.

Well, here was a situation I hadn’t expected.When we first decided to do this, Sam and I agreed that we would reassess(再评价)the situation for each child as she turned seven.Meanwhile we would offer her non-school-based opportunities to give her plenty of time with other kids-ballet lessons and swimming classes.She seemed to be enjoying all.But at times she kept asking when she was going to school.Whenever she asked this question, we told her that there would be a family meeting about it when she turned seven.She nearly always responded, “That’s when I’m going to go, then.” A fair amount of her curiosity was about school and I was afraid she was dreaming of going to school before she turned seven.

Although the advantages of home-schooling, I think, far outweigh its disadvantages, it is important for me to respect my daughter’s feelings and allow her to direct her own education.If her curiosity leads her to school, isn’t that where she should go?

Next week I’ll drive Fiona to her school.I hope that Fiona will learn to read and discover something wonderful to pursue in the world that opens up for her.I hope she will find the school activities provide her with satisfactory kid-time.

1.The writer decided to home-school her daughter, Fiona, because she thought________.

A.children aged 0-5 were too young to go to pre-school

B.Fiona may not be accepted by schools for her bad temper

C.home-schooling was much better than school education

D.children at Fiona’s age were too young to have their characters formed by school

2.In home schooling her daughter the writer tried to_______.

A.make her home just like a school

B.teach with a pointer, a piece of chalk, and a blackboard

C.be there when her child wanted her but tried not to stand in her way

D.teach according to a curriculum, which was suitable for Fiona

3.What was the writer’s biggest problem in home schooling her daughter?

A.She couldn’t decide what to teach and how to teach her daughter

B.She was not sure whether her teaching was suitable for Fiona.

C.She could not make Fiona give up the thought of going to school.

D.She didn’t know how to control Fiona’s temper

4.We can learn from the text that_______.

A.Fiona always acted against her mother’s instructions

B.it was against Fiona’s wish that she was educated at home

C.home-schooling was popular some years ago

D.Fiona’s parents would ask her opinions about school education
