阅读理解（社会生活类）05十三、A typical lion tamer（驯兽师）in peoples mind is an entertainer holding a whip( 鞭) at a chair. The whip gets all of the attention, but its mostly for show. In reality, it the chair that does the important work. When a lion tamer holds a chair n front of the lions face, the lion tries to focus on all four legs of the chair at the same time. With its focus divided, the lion bees confused and is unsure about what to do next. When faced with so many options, the lion chooses to freeze and wait instead of attacking the man holding the chair.How often do you find yourself in the same position as the lion? How often do you have something you want to achieve (e.g. lose weight., start a business, travel more)only to end up confused by all of the options in front of you and never make progress?This upsets me to no end because while all the experts are busy debating about which option is been the people who want to improve their lives are left confused by all of the conflicting information. The end result is that we feel like we cant focus or that were focused on the wrong things, and so we take less action, make less progress, and stay the same when we could be improving.It doesnt have to be that way. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,. You just need to get started. Starting before you feel ready is one of the habits of successful people. If you have somewhere you want to go, something you want to acplish, someone you want to beetake immediate action. If youre clear about where you want to go, the rest of the world will either help you get there or get out of the way.28. Why does the lion tamer use a chair? A. To trick the lion. B.

In reality, it is the chair that does the important work.【翻译】驯兽师的鞭子引起了人们的注意，但这只是为了表演。实际上，起着重要作用的是椅子。【分析】本句中含有一个强调句it is the chair that does the important work.。强调的是句子的主语the chair。强调句的用法及判断，一般说来，如果把句子中的It is/wasthat去掉，稍加调整语序，能还原成完整的句子，并且句子意思依然完整，则为强调句型，否则为其他从句， 我们应熟记这些基本规则。2. Anytime you find the world waving a chair in your face, remember this: All you need to do is focus on one thing,【翻译】任何时候你发现你的面前有椅子在挥动的时候，请记住这一点：你需要的是集中注意力于一件事情。【分析】本句中的anythime引导的是一个时间状语从句，后面的remember引导的祈使句是主语。要特别注意All you need to do is focus on one thing,中在is的后面省略了to。当主语中含有动词do的某种形式时，表语中不定式的to可以省略。十四、 ArrivinginSydneyonhisownfromIndia, my husband, Rashid, stayedina hotel for a short time while looking for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.

Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husbands name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath. My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.
