[课下语篇提能练]
Ⅰ.阅读理解
Asking for help is a sign of strength rather than weakness.In American culture, the independent individ
ual is seen as their ideal.As the University of Missouri at St.Louis states on its website under the heading Key American Values, “Americans have been trained since very early in their lives to consider themselves as separate individuals who are responsible for their own situations in life and their own destinies.” The value also makes them think they can do everything themselves, and makes them feel badly about asking for help when they need it.
And when it comes to work situations, when they think about asking for help there, sometimes they fear that a request for help would make them look inept.While this has always been true for men, many women in the workplace have felt the need to try twice as hard as their male colleagues and do twice as much to get just as far and to prove their worth.Sometimes when we think about asking for help, our inner voices tell us, “See, if you admit you can’t do this on your own, they’ll see you for the imposter (骗子) you really are.”
But the fact is, even though individualism is on the rise, we can’t do everything by ourselves and we shouldn’t try.
Apple founder Steve Jobs once told the Santa Clara Valley Historical Association about the power of asking for help, and how he “never found anybody who didn’t want to help me when I asked them for h
elp”．He said, at the age of 12, he called Bill Hewlett, co­founder of Hewlett­Packard, on the phone after getting his number from the phone book and asking him for spare parts so he could build a frequency counter (计频器)．And Hewlett agreed and offered young Jobs a summer job assembling frequency counters.
“If you’re afraid of failing, you won’t get very far，”Jobs said.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文。很多人担心求助别人会让别人笑话自己没有能力，因此不愿求助他人，导致他们忽视了求助可能带来的预想不到的效果。
1．What is the first paragraph mainly about?
A．What key American values are.
B．Why Americans refuse to ask for help.
C．Asking for help is a sign of strength.
D．Americans are responsible for their life.
解析：选B段落大意题。本段第一句指出了本文的主旨大意，但是接着话锋一转，讲到在美国，由于受到传统文化的影响，人们一般都不愿求助于人，本段主要解释了“美国人为什么一般都不愿求助于人”这个问题。
2．Which of the following can replace the underlined word “inept”in Paragraph 2? A．Impolite.B．Identical.
C．Incompetent.D．Inappropriate.
解析：选C词义猜测题。根据本段画线词前后的内容尤其是“to get just as far and to prove their worth”可知，此处指请求帮助会使他们看起来没有能力胜任某项工作。
3．What can be learned from this US cultural phenomenon?
A．Americans suffer a lot from mutual distrust.
B．Americans see weakness as a sign of strength.
C．Americans should learn to build up confidence.

A．Don’t hesitate to ask for assistance.
B．Be brave to try whatever you want.
C．Failure is the mother of success.
