On one particular day, I was teaching in a very difficult class.I was managing behavior all the morning and by lunch time, I knew I needed coffee to even consider surviving the afternoon.So on my lunch break, I drove to a nearby plaza to get a cup of coffee.Upon returning to the car I realized I had locked my keys and my phone inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the school which was a good 4or 5minute drive away.I contemplated (考虑) rushing back, but it being winter, I thought a nasty fall on ice would only make the situation much worse.So I ran into a McDonalds which was in the same plaza and asked the man at the counter who happened to be the manager to please call me a cab.I briefly explained my situation to him, and I could tell by the look in his eyes that he empathized.He hurried to the back to use the phone while I paced in the restaurant.I had less than 10 minutes to get back to my school at this point. The manager returned only to tell me that the cab company had put him on hold and then the line got disconnected, and that he was now on hold again, but had not been able to request the cab yet.My expression, I assume, began to resemble some combination of hopelessness and fear. Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and offered to drive me to the school.Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and made it back into my classroom with 2 minutes to spare before the bell! Upon arriving at the school, I thanked this man endlessly.His calm behavior and kind nature made me think he was probably a wonderful manager to work for, and also a wonderful human being to have on this earth.This experience makes me realize that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to transpire (发生), which can have an unimaginable impact (影响) on those who receive them.【语篇解读】 本文是一篇记叙文， 主要介绍了作者在广场上喝咖啡后发现车钥匙和手机都被锁在了车里， 他在麦当劳向经理寻求帮助， 并最终在这位经理的帮助下及时赶回学校的故事。1Why did the author want to get a cup of coffee?ABecause he was very thirsty at that

counselors, psychiatrists(精神病医师) and other specialists who teach skills and help us cope with daily life.But theres 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 persons success story can change other peoples lives for the better goes back at least to the 1930s.Dale Carnegies famous selfimprovement 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 ones career and life outside work. Lakhanis Bold Approach coaching firm also donates some of its time to help people who are anything but successfulincluding battered women and struggling single mothers. But others in the socalled “helping professions” are not thrilled about the lifecoaching 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 peoples lives can do more harm than good.【语篇解读】本文讲述生活中出现一些生活教练，他不仅会指引人们的生活而且还激励人们， 但也有些华而不实的生活教练会扰乱人们的生活。 1Which of the following is the best title for the passage?AWorking Yourself HappyBLife Coaches Help with Tough DecisionsCHow to Cope with Daily Life with Life CoachesDThe LifeCoaching MovementB解析：标题归纳题。本文讲述生活中出现一些生活教练， 他不仅会指引人们的生活而且还激励人们， 故选B项。2The last paragraph is mainly about_Athe introductions of life coachBthe disagreements of life coachCthe effects of life coachDthe experiences of life coachB解析：段落大意题。根据最后一段的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 peoples lives can do more harm than good.他们说那些经过培训或没有经过培训的，自称生活教练的人，这些华而不实的人会扰乱人们的生活，坏处多于好处，故选B。 3.What is the authors attitude towards life coaches?ACautious.BApproving.CCasual.
