中考英語分類閱讀及講解匯編（一）人生哲理材料1Its easier to go downhill than to climb uphill; so it is easier to fall into bad habits than into good ones. Bad habits do not come suddenly . They come little by little . School children first pick up little bad habits in schools and in the streets . When they cant write their lessons, they copy from others . If they see bigger boys smoking ,they also want to learn to smoke. If they see their friends gambling , they want to copy their examples. When they get bigger, the habits become stronger and stronger so that they can no longer get rid of them. From copying, they learn to cheat , from gambling ,they learn to steal. So it is very important for us to get rid of bad habits in the beginning. 注釋1. gamble 賭博2.

In 1950, 70-year-olds were really old. Today, a healthy 70-year-old is still thought young. So, how old is old? The answer is one youve heard many times, from all kinds of people. “You are as old (or young) as you feel. ” Your age simply tells you how many years you have lived. Your body tells you how well youve lived. “Nobody grows old by living a number of years,” wrote a writer. “People grow old when they dont have their ideals. ” People shouldnt have the wrong ideals about aging. Sometimes, older minds can be as bright as young minds. Alice Brophy once said, “It makes me unhappy when people say, You look young for your age. What does that mean? You know you can die old at 30 and live young at 80. ”1. average 平均 span （生命）跨度 ideal 理想2. The answer has changed over the years. 答案已隨時代而變化。3. You are as old (or young) as you feel. 你的年齡隨心態(tài)而定。4.

About this , he told the following story. An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried her best to reach the side , but she couldnt move at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity ,the bird threw a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in grass she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wished to kill her, and he would certainly do so, but the ant bit him in one of his feet and at that moment the bird flew away at once.

At 11:45 Dick left for a 12:00 meeting across town. Arriving late, he explained that traffic had been bad. That evening, Dicks girlfriend wore a new dress. He hated it. “It looks just great on you,” he said. Three lies in one day! Yet Dick Spivak is just an ordinary man. Each time, he told himself that sometimes the truth makes too many problems. Most of us tell much the same white lies, harmless untruths that help to save trouble. How often do we tell white lies? It partly depends on our age, education, and even where we live. One US study shows that women are more truthful than men, and honesty increases as we get older. While most people use little white lies to make life easier, most Americans care about honesty in both public and personal life. They say that people today are less honey than they were ten years ago. Although it is believed that things are getting worse, lying seems to be an age-old human problem. The French philosopher Vauvenarges, writing in the eighteenth century, touched the truth when he wrote “ All men are born truthful and die liars. ”注釋1. harmless無害的 honesty誠實 philosopher哲學家2. Arriving late, he explained that traffic had been bad. 由于來完了，他解釋說交通太糟糕。 Arriving late作原因狀語。3. touch the truth觸及到事實真相4.

A 材料8 Long ago ,there lived in Greece a learned man. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. The great man taught his students whole-heartedly and answered their questions with great patience. One day a student asked him, “ My dear teacher, didnt you say you yourself have many ,many more questions about things than we do? But I think we students have far more than you. ”With a smile on his face, the teacher drew two circles ,one as large as a big cake, the other smaller. Then he said , “Of course, I have learned much more. But its wrong to think that a teacher has fewer questions than his students. Now, look at these two circles. The inside of the bigger one is my knowledge of things, and the inside of the smaller one is yours. Out of the circles is what is still unknown to us. Since mine is larger, I have to use the longer line to draw the bigger circle. That means I have more opportunities to face what is still unknown. And thats why I myself have more questions than you do. The more you learn , the more questions you have. You will never learn enough ,you know. ”注釋1. Greece西臘 patience耐心 opportunity機會2. He was so well known for his good knowledge of almost everything that lots of people from all over the country came to learn from him. 他因為無所不知的豐富知識而聞名，以至全國各地的人都來向他求教。3.

They learn languages, history, politics, geography, physics, chemistry and mathematics. Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can make a living. School education is very important and useful . Yet, no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he knows, can not teach his students everything they want to know. The teachers job is to show his students how to learn. He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, much more is to be learned outside school by the students themselves. It is always more important to know how to study by oneself than to memorize some facts or a formula. It is actually quite easy to learn a certain fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in working out a math problem. Great scientists before us didnt get everything from school . Their teachers only showed them the way. Edison did not even finish primary school. But they were all so successful. They invented so many things for mankind. The reason for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not taught at school . They would ask many questions as they read. They did thousands of experiments. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. Above all , they knew how to use their brain. 注釋1. skill技能 memorize記憶 formula公式 brain大腦2.
