During our first summer in the Arizona desert, I got b1. burned by the sun. It was too hot there. By the next April I was already worrying about those three months coming up. I told Mr. Simpson about that at his gas station while he filled my car’s tank.

“You don’t need to worry in that way,” he said, “worrying about the heat just makes the summer start sooner or last l2..”

I realized, as I paid the bill, that he was right. “Treat the heat like a welcome surprise.” he said. “ Take advantage of the best that our summer offers and ignore (忽视）the r3..”

To my surprise, Mr. Simpson’s advice worked. When the hot summer did arrive, I wanted the flowers in my garden in the morning. In the afternoon I slept with my kids, and in the evening we played games and made ice cream together. I l4.the beauty of the summer in the desert.

Years later, when we moved to Cleveland, our neighbors there were already worrying about winter in September. When the snows of December did arrive, our children were e5.because they had never seen snow before. They made snowballs and went skating together.

Answer the questions ( 根据以下内容回答问题)

There once was a king who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the best picture of peace. Many artists tried. The king looked at all the pictures. But only two he really liked, and he had to choose between them. One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirroring for towering mountains all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy white clouds. All who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace. The other picture had mountains, too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an angry sky, from which rain fell and in which lightning played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled a waterfall. This did not look peaceful at all.

But when the king looked closely, he saw behind the waterfall a tiny bush growing in a crack in the rock. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest - - in perfect peace.

Which picture do you think won the prize? The king chose the second picture. Do you know why?

“Because, ” explained the king, “peace does not mean to be in a place where there is no noise, no trouble, or hard work. Peace means to be in the midst of all those things and still be calm in your heart. This is the real meaning of peace.”

1.The king offered a prize for the best picture of peace, didn’t he?

2.Of all the pictures, how many did the king truly like?

3.How would you describe the lake in the first picture?

4.What was there in both pictures?

5.Where was the bush where the mother bird built its nest?

6.Do you agree with the king’s choice? Why or why not?
