He's posting regularly on social media about all the progress he's making.He's motivated and doing great!At last I'll have to remind him that progress isn't linear (線性的) and that he'll finally meet with some challenges in the road, but I'm letting him enjoy the present progress in the meantime and will help him tackle them when that time comes.I'm grateful for him giving me the opportunity to serve him and give him advice, and I'm grateful to see that he's investing the time and money to promote his life.He even posted recently about how grateful he is with all the recent changes in his life.Even if you're still not where you want to be, there are a lot of people out there who want what you have and who are impressed with how far you've come.It's extremely joyful to be aware how far you've come, be proud of yourself, and recognize how much you can help others achieve the same.語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過自己的故事講述了一個道理:只要你目標明確、努力進取,即使你還沒有達到自己的目標,但你已經比自己以為的走得更遠了。1.Why did the author's friend contact him A.To thank him for the advice on success.B.To consult him about some proposals.C.To ask for advice on how to get in shape.D.To require him to share his success on social media.解析:細節理解題。根據第一段及第二段的內容可知,作者的朋友聯系他是為了向他尋求建議。√√2.What does the underlined word “tackle” in paragraph 4 probably mean A.Get over. B.Apply for.C.Focus on. D.Relate to.解析:詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的“he'll finally meet with some challenges in the road”和“when that time comes”可知,此處是指幫助他克服遇到的挑戰,所以tackle意為“克服”。√3.Which of the following can best describe the author's friend A.Caring and outgoing.B.Responsible and wise.C.Purposeful and active.D.Motivated and humorous.解析:推理判斷題。根據第一段最后一句和第三段的內容可知,作者的朋友是一個目標明確、積極主動的人。√4.What does the author mainly express in the last paragraph A.You should make use of your advantages.B.You should take pride in what others achieve.C.You've come a lot further than you realize.D.You should turn to others when you feel confused.解析:段落大意題。根據最后一段,特別是最后一句可知,該段中作者主要是講你遠比你意識到的走得更遠。BThere is no point destroying your peace of mind and happiness by taking the wrong job.Society may pressure you into grabbing whatever you can get.If you do not have a set path that must be taken, then you have the opportunity to choose something you will not only be paid for doing, but enjoy.One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.It may seem obvious that the creative type does not really find much pleasure in a job as a butcher (屠夫) or dry cleaning assistant, and that a weak character may not find happiness in a career based on teaching or leading a team.To find the best job for your personality type, the first step is to know what and who you really are.If you already know your style, you can search for suitable employment; however, if you are uncertain, there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are.For example, an employment centre, a career adviser or an online quiz can help you.Taking my own situation for example, I am definitely a creative type.Besides, I prefer to be my own boss or, if I cannot, at least I want to rely on a boss I truly both respect and admire.I do not like telling people what to do, or being told what to do.I do not relate well to regular nine-to-five pattern.I do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job.I feel much happier at bining my creativity, independence, and desire to stay at home, my ideal career would be running a home-operated business involving creativity.I actually happen to have chosen this solution; I am a writer, poet, author and publisher.I have suited my career to my personality type.語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了要找到適合的工作,首先要了解自己的性格特點。5.The first paragraph is used as a(n) .A.example B.introductionC.conclusion D.contrast解析:推理判斷題。第一段通過介紹選擇一份不適合自己的工作所帶來的缺點引出下文的話題“One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.”,因此第一段主要是用來引入話題的。√√6.The author thinks in order to find the right job we should first know about .A.something about employment centreB.online job marketsC.our personality typesD.the economic situation解析:細節理解題。根據第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知,要找到合適的工作,首先要了解自己的性格類型。√7.Which of the following statements about the author is true A.He prefers to rely on his colleagues.B.He dislikes home-operated businesses.C.He likes giving orders to others and doesn't like facing orders.D.He doesn't like the usual way of doing things.解析:推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“I do not like telling people what to do ...a high wage for a bad job.”可知,作者不喜歡通常的做事方式。√8.What is the main idea of the passage A.Creativity and chances of success.B.Jobs and your peace of mind.C.Following the set path and making life easier.D.Finding the right job for your personality type.解析:主旨大意題。綜合全文可知,文章主要說明了要找到適合的工作,首先要了解自己的性格特點。Ⅱ.閱讀七選五Tips for finding your life purposeWhat does life purpose mean and, more importantly, how does one find and fulfill it?

however, if you are uncertain, there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are.For example, an employment centre, a career adviser or an online quiz can help you.Taking my own situation for example, I am definitely a creative type.Besides, I prefer to be my own boss or, if I cannot, at least I want to rely on a boss I truly both respect and admire.I do not like telling people what to do, or being told what to do.I do not relate well to regular nine to five pattern.I do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job.I feel much happier at bining my creativity, independence, and desire to stay at home, my ideal career would be running a home operated business involving creativity.I actually happen to have chosen this solution; I am a writer, poet, author and publisher.I have suited my career to my personality type.5.The first paragraph is used as a(n) ________.A.example B.introductionC.conclusion D.contrast6.The author thinks in order to find the right job we should first know about ________.A.something about employment centreB.online job marketsC.our personality typesD.the economic situation7.Which of the following statements about the author is true A.He prefers to rely on his colleagues.B.He dislikes home operated businesses.C.He likes giving orders to others and doesn't like facing orders.D.He doesn't like the usual way of doing things.8.What is the main idea of the passage A.Creativity and chances of success.B.Jobs and your peace of mind.C.Following the set path and making life easier.D.Finding the right job for your personality type.Ⅱ.閱讀七選五Tips for finding your life purposeWhat does life purpose mean and, more importantly, how does one find and fulfill it?__9__.Here is what I have learned so far along the way.Play to your strengthsWe are not capable of being all things to all people.__10__.Develop your natural talents into skills by studying, exercising and practicing those talents.There is nothing wrong with trying to learn new things, but the likelihood is that you were born with the abilities needed to fulfill your life purpose.__11__For whatever reason, we all feel enthusiastic about certain things in life.In order to live your life with purpose, you must become completely immersed in whatever it is, which means it must be something you are highly interested in.Otherwise, it will be impossible to perform at the highest level.Focus on what you can controlNo matter how hard you try, no matter how much your actions may be based on intended or expected outcomes, you absolutely cannot control the results of your actions.The path to living with purpose is paved with good intentions and continual self improvement.__12__, which means cultivating your mind, body and spirit to achieve your greatest potential and always acting with the best of intentions.Embrace your creativityWe are all capable of producing something both original and of value to the world.Those two components — originality and value — make up the definition of creativity.__13__, and you will view the world and know the value your perspective can add.Of course, when you focus on cultivating your talents and immerse yourself in what you are passionate about, creativity comes easily.A.Dig into the unique visionB.Pursue your inner passionsC.Figure out your potential talentD.It has been a long journey getting to this pointE.Put forth our best efforts to fulfill the ultimate goalF.You were born with certain natural talents and abilities — use themG.Living your life with purpose will undoubtedly bring a sense of fulfillmentUNIT 1 課時檢測(一)Ⅰ.閱讀理解[A]語篇解讀:本文是一篇記敘文。作者通過自己的故事講述了一個道理:只要你目標明確、努力進取,即使你還沒有達到自己的目標,但你已經比自己以為的走得更遠了。1.選B 細節理解題。根據第一段及第二段的內容可知,作者的朋友聯系他是為了向他尋求建議。2.選A 詞義猜測題。根據第四段中的“he'll finally meet with some challenges in the road”和“when that time comes”可知,此處是指幫助他克服遇到的挑戰,所以tackle意為“克服”。3.選C 推理判斷題。根據第一段最后一句和第三段的內容可知,作者的朋友是一個目標明確、積極主動的人。4.選C 段落大意題。根據最后一段,特別是最后一句可知,該段中作者主要是講你遠比你意識到的走得更遠。[B]語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要說明了要找到適合的工作,首先要了解自己的性格特點。5.選B 推理判斷題。第一段通過介紹選擇一份不適合自己的工作所帶來的缺點引出下文的話題“One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type.”,因此第一段主要是用來引入話題的。6.選C 細節理解題。根據第二段第一句和第三段第一句可知,要找到合適的工作,首先要了解自己的性格類型。7.選D 推理判斷題。根據最后一段中的“I do not like telling people what to do ...a high wage for a bad job.”可知,作者不喜歡通常的做事方式。8.選D 主旨大意題。綜合全文可知,文章主要說明了要找到適合的工作,首先要了解自己的性格特點。Ⅱ.閱讀七選五語篇解讀:本文是一篇說明文。文章主要分享了一些關于尋找人生目標的建議。9.選D 前文提出兩個問題,涉及人生目標的意義及追尋和實現人生目標的方法,后文開始分享這兩個問題的解答。因此D項“It has been a long journey getting to this point ”符合語境,指出追尋和實現人生目標是一段漫長的旅程,承上啟下,其中的this point指代上文的one find and fulfill it。10.選F 本段標題“Play to your strengths ”表明本段和個人優勢相關,后文建議發揮個人的天賦。因此F項“You were born with certain natural talents and abilities — use them”符合語境,提到人天生就有獨特的天賦和能力,呼應本段標題,引出后文,其中的natural talents在后文有同詞復現。11.選B 空處是段落標題,需統領段落內容,且需和其他段落標題一樣使用祈使句的形式。根據后文可知,本段與發現激情所在,做自己感興趣的事情相關。因此B項“Pursue your inner passions”符合語境,契合段落內容,其中的passions和后文的enthusiastic呼應。12.選E 后文對某一行為作解釋,強調身心和精神層面的發展以及以最好的意圖行動,因此E項“Put forth our best efforts to fulfill the ultimate goal”符合語境,建議全力以赴去實現最終目標,后文則是對其解釋。13.選A 后文提到做某件事可以帶來的結果:看到世界,知道自己的價值,因此A項“Dig into the unique vision ”符合語境,其中的vision和后文的perspective呼應。 展開更多...... 收起↑ 資源列表 Section Ⅰ “Understanding ideas”的課文習讀環節.pptx Section Ⅰ “Understanding ideas”的課文習讀環節.doc UNIT 1 課時檢測(一) “Understanding ideas”的課文習讀環節.doc 縮略圖、資源來源于二一教育資源庫
