中考英语阅读理解难点分析及高分秘诀

amazing discoveries to help you make up your mind.

Consider your emotions. You might think that emotions are the enemy of decision making, but in

fact they are a part of it. Whenever you make up your mind, your brain’s emotional centre is

active. University of Southern California scientist, Antonio Damasio, has studied people with

damage to only the emotional parts of their brains , and found that they were unable to make basic

choices about what to wear or eat. Damasia thinks this may be because our brains store emotional

memories of past choice, which we use to help the present decision-making.

However, making choices under the influence of an emotion can greatly affect the result. Take

anger, for example. A study by Nitika Garg of the University of Mississippi and other scientists

found the angry shoppers were more likely to choose the first thing they were offered rather than

considering other choices. It seems that anger can lead us to make quick decisions without much

thinking.

All emotions affect our thinking and motivation

（动机），

so it may be best to avoid making

important decisions under their influence. Yet strangely there is one emotion that seems to help us

make good choices. The American researchers found that sad people took time to consider the

various choices on offer, and ended up making the best choices. In fact many studies show that

people who feel unhappy have the most reasonable view of the world.

I have forgotten the name of the old lady, who was a customer(

顾客

) on my newspaper route

when I was twelve. Yet she taught me a lesson that I shall never forget.

On a winter afternoon, a friend and I were throwing stones onto the roof of the old lady’s house

near her garden. I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and threw it. The stone was too smooth,

however, so it slipped(

滑

) from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small window on

the lady’s door. At the sound of broken glass, we knew we were in trouble. We ran faster th

an any

of our stones flew off her roof.

I was too scared about getting caught that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the

broken window in winter. However, a few days later, when I was sure that I hadn’t been

discovered, I started to feel guilty for her trouble. She still greeted me with a smile each day when

I gave her the newspaper, but I was no longer able to act comfortably when seeing her.

I decided that I would save my paper delivery(

送

) money, and in three weeks I had the seven

dollars that I thought would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope (

信封

)

with a note saying that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars

would cover the cost of repairing it.

The next day, I handed the old lady her paper. She thanked me for the paper and gave me a bag of

biscuits she had made herself. I thanked her and ate the biscuits as I continued my route.

After several biscuits, I felt an envelope and pulled it out of the bag. When I opened the envelope,

I w

as shocked. Inside were the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m proud of you.”

I shook hands with my father in the truck, and for a long time he looked straight ahead and didn’t

say a word. But I knew he was goin

g to say a little to me. “I can’t tell anything,” he finally said. “I

never went to college, and none of your brothers went to college. I can’t say don’t do this and do

that, because everything is different and I don’t know what is going to come up. I can’

t help much

with money either, but I think things will work out. ”

He gave me a new check-

book. “If things get pushing, write a small check. But when you write

one, send me a letter and let me know how much. There are some things we can always sell.” In

four years all the checks I wrote were less than a thousand dollars. My part- time jobs such as

reading to the blind student and sitting with the teachers’ kids filled in the

financial gaps.

“You know what you want to be, and they’ll tell you what to take,” my father went on. “When you

get a job, be sure it’s honest, and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be alone in the big town,

and I would be missing the cool winds and a life where your thinking was done for you.

Then my dad reached down beside his seat and brought the old, broken Bible that he had read so

often, the one he used when he wanted to look something up in a friendly quarrel with one of the

neighbours. I knew he would miss it. I knew, though, that I must take it.

He didn’t say read this every morning. He just said, “This can help you if you will let it.”

Did it help? I got through college without being a burden on the family. I have been able to make

money since.
