I recently wrote an autobiography in which I recalled many old memories. One of them was from my school days, when our ninth grade teacher, Miss Raber, would pick out words from Reader’s Digest to test our vocabulary.
Today, more than 45 years later, I always check out " It pays to Enrich Your Word Power" first when the Digest comes each month. I am impressed with that idea, word power. Reader’s Digest knows the power that words have to move people to entertain, inform and inspire. The Digest editors know that the big word isn’t always the best word. Take just one example, a Quotable Quote from the February 1985 issue: " Time is a playful thing. It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk. "
Seventeen words, only two of them more than one syllable, yet how much they convey! That’s usually how it is with Reader’s Digest. The small and simple can be profound.
As chairman of a foundation to restore the Statue of Liberty, I’ve been making a lot of speeches lately. I try to keep them fairly short. I use small but vivid words: words like "hope" , "guts", "faith" and "dreams". Those are words that move people and say so much about the spirit of America.
Don’t get me wrong. I’m not against using big words, when it is right to do so, but I have also learned that a small word can work a small miracle—if it’s the right word, in the right place, at the right time. It’s a "secret" that I hope I will never forget.
The example the author gives in the second paragraph might mean______.
选项
A、one spends his day playing and drinking
B、don’t waste your time as one does
C、time slips easily if you don’t make good use of it
D、time is just like drinking milk from a bowl
答案
C
解析
原文中的“Time is a playful thing.It slips quickly and drinks the day like a bowl of milk”表达了时间流逝如梭的意思。而A项一个人吃喝玩乐地度日子,选项中的playing和原文中的playful相近,容易误选。B项不要像一些人一样浪费时间,前半句中的don’t waste your time表述是正确的,但是原句中并没有举出例子来说明。C项如果你不好好利用时间它很快就会溜走,符合原文。D项时间就像从碗里喝牛奶,选项中的诸多词如d
