Many years ago, there was an old man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn not to judge(判断) things too quickly. So he told them to go and look at a pear tree. It was far away from his home. The first son went in winter, the second in spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in autumn.
When the sons came back, the old man asked them to say what they had seen.
The first son complained the tree was ugly. The second son said the tree was covered with buds and full of hope. The third son said the tree was full of green leaves. They looked so beautiful, and it was the most wonderful thing he had ever seen. The youngest son said that the tree was bowed down with heavy fruits. It was full of life and fulfillment(收获).
The man explained that all of his sons were right, but each of them had seen just one season of the tree. He told them that they couldn’t judge a tree or a person by only one season. "If you give up when it’s winter, you will miss the hope of your spring, the beauty of your summer, and the fulfillment of your autumn." said the old man

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box and landing on my head. Now I am thirty-two. I can vaguely(模糊地)  1  the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see things again,  2  a disaster can do strange things to people. It happened to me the other day that I might not have come to love  3  as I do if I hadn’t been blind. I believe in life now. I am not sure that I would believe in it so  4 . I don’t mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I  5  mean that the loss of  6  made me enjoy more of  7  I have now.
Life asks us to keep making  8  to reality. If a person is able to get ready for anything changeable his world will  9  more meaningful. I became blind, but I was  10 . My parents and my teachers saw  11  in me-a potential(潜力) to live, you might call it-which I didn’t see, and they make me fight it out with blindness.
The hardest  12  I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was what I had to do at least. If I hadn’t been able to do that, I would become a chair rocker for the  13  of my life. When I say I believe in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self-confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase  14 . That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: A belief that I could deal with anything alone; that somewhere in the  15  there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

The lady with the white fence(篱笆)taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .
My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was   43   down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good   44   that I was deeply touched. I could not send   45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.
“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"
“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive.     47   stop like you and come up to have a chat. "
"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"
"Change is part of life and takes part in    48   us who we are. When something we do not
like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a    49   person or to become a better person."
Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on   50   a new feeling inside me. I could not tell  51  it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And  52   a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.

Because earthquakes happen without warning, it’s important to take steps now to prepare. Because you don’t know where you will be when an earthquake happens, prepare some supplies for your home, workplace, and car.
1. Water.
A person needs at least 1/2 gallon of water daily just for drinking. Store at least 1 gallon of water per person per day and be prepared for a 72-hour period. It is suggested that you buy bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it. Also, do check the “use by” date.
2. Food.
It’s always a practical idea to keep a supply of non-perishable(不易腐烂的) food on hand. Have an enough supply of canned food, powdered milk, dried fruits, non-salted nuts and canned juices for at least 72 hours.
3. Flashlights(手电筒) and spare batteries.
Keep a flashlight beside your bed, at your place of work, and in your car. Do not use matches or candles after an earthquake until you are sure that no gas leaks.
Prepare a battery-powered radio and spare batteries. Most telephones will be out of order, so radios will be your best source of information.
4. Clothes.
If you live in a cold place, you must think about warmth. You might not have heat after an earthquake. Think about your clothing and bedding supplies.
小题1: Why should people prepare themselves for an earthquake?
A.Because earthquakes can be known before they happen.
B.Because earthquakes take place without warning.
C.Because earthquakes usually take place in the neighborhood.
D.Because it’s people’s daily work to prepare the earthquakes.

B.You’d better use your own containers to keep water.
C.You’d better open the bottled water when you buy it.

小题4:According to the article we know that ______.
A.we need to prepare some supplies only at home
