7.A member of our class told us of a request made by his wife.She and a group of other women in her church were involved in a self-improvement program.She asked her husband to help hr by listing six things he believed she could do to help her become a better wife.He reported to the class,"I was surprised by such a request.Frankly,it would have been easy for me to list six things I would like to change about her---my heavens,she could have listed a thousand things she would like to change about me---but I didn't.I said to her,‘Let me think about it and give you an answer in the morning.'"
"The next morning I got up very early and called the florist(花商)and had him send six red roses to my wife with a note saying,‘I can't think of six things I would like to change about you.I love you the way you are.'"
"When I arrived at home that evening,who do you think greeted me at the door?That's right.My wife!She was almost in tears.Needless to say,I was extremely glad I had not criticized her as she had requested."
"The following Sunday at church,after she had reported the result of her request,several women with whom she had been studying came up to me and said,"That is the most considerate thing I have ever heard.'I was then that I realized the power of appreciation."
Lincoln once began a letter saying,"Everybody likes a compliment."William James said,"The deepest principle in human nature is the desire to be appreciated."So let's give honest,sincere appreciation to others instead of criticizing them.This will make a great difference to your life as well as others'.

分析 我們班的一位成員告訴了我們他妻子的一個請求,她和教堂里的一群其他女人都參與了一個自我提升的項目,她讓她的丈夫幫她列出了六件他認為她能幫她成為一個更好的妻子的事情,他向全班報告說"我很驚訝這樣的請求,老實說,我本來能很容易的就會列出讓她改變的六件事情,---我的天,她可能會列出她想要我改變的很多事情---但我沒有列,我對她說,讓我想想,我在早上給你一個答復(fù).
第二天早上,我很早就起床了,給花商打電話,讓他發(fā)送六朵紅玫瑰我妻子并附上便條:"我想不出我想要你改變的六件事.我就愛你這個樣子.".
那天晚上當(dāng)我到家的時候,你們知道誰在門口迎接我嗎?就是我的妻子!她幾乎要哭了,不用說,我很高興我沒有像她要求的那樣批評她.
接下來的周日在教堂里,在她回報了她的請求后,幾個一直和它一起學(xué)習(xí)的女人來到我面前說,這是我們聽過的最體貼的事了,然后我意識到了欣賞的力量.
林肯曾經(jīng)寫過一封信,說:"每個人都喜歡贊美."威廉•詹姆斯說,"人性中最深刻的原則就是渴望被欣賞.所以,讓我們誠實地、真誠地欣賞他人,而不是批評他們.這將對你的生活和他人都有很大的影響.

26.答案D,考查猜測詞義題,根據(jù)作者的送花及便條的內(nèi)容可知,作者是和體貼的人.childlike幼稚的,ambitious有雄心的,courageous有勇氣的,thoughtful體貼的,故選 D.
27.答案A,考查作者意圖題,根據(jù)最后兩段"我意識到了欣賞的力量. 林肯曾經(jīng)寫過一封信,說:"每個人都喜歡贊美."威廉•詹姆斯說,"人性中最深刻的原則就是渴望被欣賞.所以,讓我們誠實地、真誠地欣賞他人,而不是批評他們.這將對你的生活和他人都有很大的影響."選A.
點評 解題步驟:
首先對原文材料迅速瀏覽,掌握全文的主旨大意.因為閱讀理解題一般沒有標(biāo)題,所以,速讀全文,抓住中心主旨很有必要,在速讀的過程中,應(yīng)盡可能多地捕獲信息材料.
其次,細讀題材,各個擊破.掌握全文的大意之后,細細閱讀每篇材料后的問題,弄清每題要求后,帶著問題,再回到原文中去尋找、捕獲有關(guān)信息.
要善于抓住每段的主題句,閱讀時,要有較強的針對性.對于捕獲到的信息,要做認真分析,仔細推敲,理解透徹,只有這樣,針對題目要求,才能做到穩(wěn)、準(zhǔn).
