Ⅱ.阅读理解
If you are a human, you can’t help but experience the time when everything seems to be going wrong and you feel as if your life is completely out of control. It is during the low time that words of encouragement from family, friends, co­workers or even strangers can boost your spirits. It is also during the low time that destructive words can be devastating(毁灭性的) and make you sink deeper and deeper into depression.
For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods when two of them fell into a deep pit(深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out.
The two frogs ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit.The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took notice of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it.
When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting at him to tell him to give up. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.
Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, do choose the chance to say something positive! Don’t let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean to someone else.
16．Why did the frog that succeeded in jumping to safety neglect the other frogs’ comments?
A．Because he would like to jump out of the pit.
B．Because he could hardly hear what the other frogs said.
C．Because he didn’t want to give up his hope.
D．Because he had a positive attitude toward life.
17．We can infer from the frog succeeding finally that ________.
A．encouragement is not important in our lives
B．persistence is bound to victory
C．miracles sometimes happen by accident
D．success must belong to us if we keep on working
18．What can we infer from the first paragraph?
A．There is no way to go when we go wrong.
B．Life depends on encouragement.
C．Destructive words will lead to death.
D．Words are playing an important role around us.
19．The writer mainly wants to tell us ________ in the last paragraph.
A．the power of words B．positive words
C．negative words D．the opportunities to say something
20．Which of the following statements is WRONG according to this passage?
A．The frog that made it finally thought his friends were encouraging him.
B．The frog that died finally ignored the comments and tried to jump out of the pit at first.
C．The two unfortunate frogs would never get out because they are both deaf.
D．The author advised us to choose the chance to say something positive.
