Intentions matter When my daughter was very young，she broke my favorite cup.She was moving it aside，and it slipped from her hand and broke on the floor.I loved that cup and was really disappointed，but（1）AA I didn't punish her.It was an accident.She didn't（2）CC to drop it.Intentions matter.Or do they？
I can't help but feel that our modern world does not（3）DD intentions.We are all so ready to find fault with another person and so concerned with our own responses that we don't consider the（4）BB of others.
There are（5）AA opportunities to be upset these days in the celebrity news cycle，in politics and in our own interpersonal interactions.Every single day，someone is torn apart on social media for something they have said or done.
A friend of mine says， "It's not how the message is intended；it's how it's received." He means that we need to be（6）BB when choosing our words because they can easily be（7）AA by the person we are addressing.
We all at times express ourselves poorly，make errors of judgment or have a moment of（8）CC where we say the wrong thing.All of us have offended someone at some point in our lives.
The internet is full of people seeking to make things worse.（9）BB there are also many decent people who（10）DD get things wrong or simply do not know better.
I get that there is much to be angry about.The world is full of injustice.The actions and words of other people can cause harm；（11）CC，the actions and words of other people matter.
But intention has to matter too，for us to make sense of the world，and for us to effect change.（12）BB intentions can help us to feel better about our fellow humans.When we appreciate intent，it can help to lessen the impact of their message.
On a more practical level，understanding intention can help us respond to people with（13）BB instead of anger.People who wish to do the right thing are often willing to listen.When we scream at people in anger，we（14）DD communication and make them less open to change.Remember，humans are（15）AA as divided as social media suggests.
Did the person throw the cup，or did it slip from their hands？Now，more than ever，I think the answer matters.

3．I remember my math teacher Mr.Young very well.He stood out because the kids made fun of him.He was missing one of his fingers，and always pointed at students with his middle finger.
I was not very good at English and math.No matter how hard I tried，I just could not figure out why I did not understand what all the other kids found so easy to learn.
One day，I was told that if I got one more E on my report card，I would be taken to the "big prison for kids"．
I tried really hard for weeks.I just couldn't understand how to make different parts of members into whole things.
The day before report cards were to come out，I knew that Mr.Young would give me an E，just like he always did.
I went to Mr.Young and told him that the orphanage （孤兒院） was going to send me to the big prison if I got another E on my report card.He told me there was nothing he could do；it would be unfair to the other kids if he gave me a better grade than I had actually earned.
I smiled at him and said， "Mr.Young，do you know how the kids make fun of you because you're missing your finger？" He looked at me，moved his mouth to one side and said nothing.
"They shouldn't do that to you because you can't help not having a finger，Mr.Young.Just like I can't help not being able to learn numbers and stuff like that." I said.
The next day，when I got my report card，I tucked it into one of my books.While on the school bus，I opened it：Geography，B+；Mechanical Drawing，C-；English，D-；History，C-；Gym，B+；Art，C；Math，D-.
That math grade was the most favorite one I ever received.Because I knew that someone in the world finally understood what it was like for me to be missing a finger inside my head.
（1）Where may the boy live according to the passage？
A．In an orphanage.
B．In a big prison.
C．In the school dormitory.
D．In his home.
（2）What grade should the boy have got in the math test this time？
A．D-
B．E
C．D
D．B+
（3）The underlined word "tucked" in the passage most probably means ""．
A．stuck
B．listed
C．copied
D．hid
（4）The reason why the boy remembers Mr.Young is that.
A．he missed one of his fingers
B．he treated his students very well
C．he understood the boy
D．he taught his students in a special way發(fā)布：2024/12/21 19:0:4組卷：3引用：1難度：0.7
