Musa teaches English at Chunmiao Primary School in Wuhan. He had never heard of China’s idol (偶像) of selflessness before he arrived in the country, but this unusual young man from Nigeria is carrying on the good work of China’s hero soldier.

Musa’s week begins with a crowded two-hour bus ride for a flag-raising ceremony (仪式) at Chunmiao Primary School with old classrooms for the children of migrant (移民) workers on the outside parts of Wuhan. An hour later, he steps in front of a room full of expectant (期盼) students, some of whom recently organized a dance exhibition for their foreign teacher.

The dance showed the spirit of Lei Feng (1940-1962), a soldier who was idolized (作偶像) across China for his selflessness. It was especially meaningful to Musa because the students call him “foreign Lei Feng”.

“I know Lei Feng, he is a good man. Everyone should learn from Lei Feng,” he says.

Born to a family of diplomats (外交官) in 1985, he is the second of nine children and the eldest son. Musa was expected to become a diplomat like his father, who worked in Canada from 2007. In 2008, Musa was picked by Nigeria’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs to study in China for a master’s degree in sociology (社会学硕士学位). With the hope of joining the foreign service, he then went on to study for a doctor’s degree in international relations at Central China Normal University.

1.The students Musa teaches at Chunmiao Primary School are __________.

A. native children in Wuhan

B. children of workers from outside Wuhan

C. children from different foreign countries

D. children from poor families

2.Musa is called “Foreign Lei Feng” because __________.

A. he is doing good deeds as Lei Feng did

B. he is teaching English at a primary school

C. he is loved and respected by the students

D. he helps the students dropping out of school

3.Some students organized a dance exhibition to __________.

A. say good bye to their foreign teacher

B. show their wish to learn English

C. remember China’s hero soldier

D. honor their foreign teacher

4.Before he came to China, Musa ___________.

A. taught English in his country

B. did what Lei Feng did in the countryside

C. knew nothing about Lei Feng

D. was interested in Chinese dance

5.What can we learn about Musa from the last paragraph?

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

You’ve probably heard about sports coaches, fitness coaches, vocal music teachers, career counselors, psychiatrists (精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.

But there’s a rapidly growing kind of professional who does a little bit of everything. She or he is called a “life coach”. People who are at crossroads in their lives and corporations that want to give certain employees a career boost are turning to them for help.

The idea that one person’s success story can change other people’s lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s. Dale Carnegie’s famous self-improvement program “How to Win Friends and Influence People” came along soon thereafter.

But this new style of life coaches includes more than enthusiastic speakers or writers. They use their own experiences in business, sports, military service, or psychotherapy (心理疗法) to help others make critical life decisions.

They often give their approach a slogan, such as “energy coaching” or “fearless living” or “working yourself happy”.

Dave Lakhani in Boise, Idaho, for instance, works with salespeople to develop what he calls a “road map”. He says an ongoing relationship with a coach is like having a personal fitness trainer for one’s career and life outside work.

Lakhani’s Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successful — including battered women and struggling single mothers.

But others in the so-called “helping professions” are not thrilled about the life-coaching movement. They say that anyone, trained or untrained, can call himself or herself a life coach, and that slick (华而不实的) promoters who mess with people’s lives can do more harm than good.

1.Which of the following is the best title for the passage?

A.Working Yourself Happy

B.Life Coaches Help with Tough Decisions

C.How to Cope with Daily Life with Life Coaches

D.The Life-Coaching Movement

2.The underlined phrase “life coach” in Paragraph 2 means “　　　　 ”.

A.the career counselor who teaches skills

B.the psychiatrist who helps us cope with daily life

C.the fitness coach who teaches us lessons

D.the specialist who helps us make important life decisions

3.The last paragraph is mainly about 　　　　 .

A.the introductions of life coach

B.the disagreements of life coach

C.the effects of life coach

D.the experiences of life coach

4.What is the author’s attitude towards life coaches?

A.Cautious. B.Approving.

C.Casual. D.Disapproving.

高一英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

It was early in 1981 when I first met George. I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to the humdrum of housework and raising little ones. My children, then aged three and five, were just entering kindergarten and school life. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years. For both of us, painting was art and we met at a local TAFE painting class. Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.

In the late 1950s, George arrived in Western Australia from Britain with his wife and two children. He wasn’t a tall man but was as neat as a pin, with a mouthful of large teeth and glasses that gave his blue eyes a Bambi-like appearance. George was a man who lived life to the full; he worked hard, played hard, and had an opinion about everything. He loved his wife, his family, his friends, and was loyal and outspoken to the equal degree. A slim and vigorous man, George took pride in his fitness and health and walked three kilometres every day. “”I’d no more go without my walk than without brushing my teeth,” he’d say.

And as the only male in a painting class full of women, George was in his element. He loved his singular role and looked after his brood with the same attention he gave to everything.

He took to painting with passion and commitment, even turning the spare bedroom of his home into a studio. His painting equipment was comprehensive—an easel, quality paints, linseed oil, turpentine, brushes, palette, canvases, charcoal pencils, fixative, palette knives—even a rolling pin for removing air bubbles when gluing. Ever practical, George housed many of these items in a tool box-a red metal tool box-built to take hard knocks and purchased from a local hardware store.

For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course and other commitments drew us apart, though we always maintained personal contact as we lived within a couple of kilometres of each other. Td sometimes see him on his daily walk or at the local shops and occasionally we'd touch base with a ‘proper’ afternoon tea, sharing a cuppa and a chinwag.

1.Why did the author start to learn painting?

A.To find a lasting and rewarding friendship.

B.To take a break from her boring family life.

C.To develop a hobby for her future golden years.

D.To realize her long-held dream of becoming a painter.

2.The phrase “his brood”（in paragraph 3) most probably refers to __________.

A.George’s interest B.George’s tools

C.George’s family D.George’s classmates

3.In the author’s eye, George was a person who__________

A.desired a luxurious life B.was enthusiastic about sports

C.cared little about his appearance D.seldom told others about his opinion

4.What is the author most likely to deal with in the paragraphs that follow the passage?

A.What happened on the day George died.

B.Why she became a painter while George didn’t.

C.How she and George turned away from each other.

D.Where George used to live before coming to Australia.
