本文为记叙文。作者的父母不像那种典型的亚裔式的虎爸虎妈，给孩子施压，迫使孩子努力取得好成绩，而是给他宽松的教育，希望他快乐健康。正是这种教育给了作者自行培养进取心的空间，以及追求卓越的健康心理。这也是爸爸给作者的两件最宝贵的礼物。

My favorite book, The Secret by Rhonda Byrne, talks about a formula called “SFF” which stands for “stopping finding faults”. I used to be a critical person and tried to find faults. I guess I somehow inherited this character from my father. Actually, many good qualities of my father are worth admiring except this.

My father is a person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world. His character created a negative atmosphere in my family. I was the same as my father, so I often felt angry, disappointed, depressed, and lonely in the school.

After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength! Another important lesson I got from this book is that I should always behave myself in a positive manner. Let's admit that we sometimes complain about our situation. That's not good. “Believe it or not, people don't like to listen to negative opinions.”

One more valuable lesson I got from the book is that I should be a good listener. When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was. I was very proud and would show off my achievements in the school without considering others' feeling. I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant” person. Now, I find it much easier to make friends after making some changes!

文章主要介绍了一本书使作者由原来的傲慢、自以为是变得友好、随和、积极乐观。

A．Because he's found the secret of success from it.

B．Because the book uncovers the secrets of happiness.

C．Because he's learnt his father's characters from it.

答案：D

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第三段After I had read my favorite book I began to seek “good things” in other people. It has completely changed my life. Now I feel happier, I have more friends, I have more trust in people, and I realize everyone has their own strength！可知，作者读了这本书之后，改变了自己对生活的态度，故D正确。

5．What do you know about the author's father?

A．He makes his son feel angry and disappointed.

B．He likes finding fault with people around him.

C．He seems a critical person but in fact easy­going.

D．He can create a negative atmosphere when necessary.

答案：B

解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段My father is a person who constantly looks for mistakes in other people and he thinks no one is perfect in the world.可知，作者的父亲喜欢给别人挑毛病。故选B。

6．The underlined word “arrogant” probably means “______”．

A．self­important   B．admirable

C．troublesome   D．cold­blooded

答案：A

解析：词义猜测题。根据文章最后一段When I was younger, I only wanted people to pay whole attention to my words so that I could show them how important I was.以及I had very few friends and most people considered me as an “arrogant” person.可知，作者以自我为中心，只想让别人注意他的话，所以别人认为他是个以自我为中心的人。故选A。
