[题型] 阅读理解 [章节] 英语 [类别] 测试 [题干] Passage 2

One sunny Sunday in Chicago, several former classmates, who were good friends in school, gathered for lunch, having attended their high school reunion the night before. They wanted to hear more about what was happening in one’s lives. After a good deal of kidding, and a good meal, they settled into an interesting conversation.

Angela, who had been one of the most popular people in the class, said, “Life sure turned out differently than I thought it would when we were in school. A lot has changed.” “It certainly has,” Nathan echoed. They knew he had gone into his family’s business, which had operated pretty much the same in the local community for as long as they could remember. So they were surprised when he seemed concerned. He asked, “But, have you noticed how we don’t want to change when things change?”

Carlos said, “I guess we resist changing because we’re afraid of change.” “Carlos, you were Captain of the football team,” Jessica said. “I never thought I’d hear you say anything about being afraid!”

They all laughed as they realized that although they had gone off in different directions—from working at home to managing companies—they were experiencing similar feeling.

Everyone was trying to cope with the unexpected changes that had been happening to them in recent years, and most admitted that they did not know a good way to handle them. Then Michael said, “I used to be afraid of change. When along in our business, we didn’t know what to do. So we didn’t do anything differently and we almost lost it.”

“That is,” he continued, “until I heard a funny little story that changed everything.” “How so?” Nathan asked.

“Well, the story changed the way I looked at change—from losing something to gaining something and it showed me how to do it. After that, things quickly improved at work and in my life.” Added he, “Then I realized I was really annoyed with myself for not seeing the obvious and doing what works when things change.” (346 words) [选项] [答案] [解析] [难度] 中 [分数] 10 [子题]
