10.They say there are three ways to experience the Grand Canyon; on foot,on mules (骡子) or by air.We chose the first.Up early,my husband and I and our three children couldn't wait to get started.We decided to walk along a lovely path named Bright Angel Trail.
As we set out,I was shocked at how narrow the path was.And I couldn't help noticing that the other tourists weren't like us.They had heavy backpacks,water bottles,and hats.But as usual we were dressed.As the sun rose higher,Arizona's famous heat seemed to roast us.There was no shade and our legs were aching.We decided to go back,with the girl on my back and the boys far behind.By the time we finally got back,our legs were like jelly.
The next day,after we'd had a long rest and a good breakfast,we were ready for another view of the Canyon-by air.After our last walk,this would be the easiest thing in the world.
We called to each other excitedly as the plane took off and circled around the Canyon.But the smiles on our faces disappeared as the pilot tossed (翻转) the plane around,pretending he was going to hit the ground.I shouted,"STOP,TAKE US BACK!"When we finally arrived back on land,once again our legs were like jelly.We hardly spoke as we drove back.
As I said,there are three ways to view the Grand Canyon.We never tried the mules,but personally I'd suggest a fourth:buy yourself a good magazine like National Geographic.That way,you can see the Canyon,without fear or tiredness.

41.Which of the following is true according to the second paragraph?B
A.They made a careful preparation before the trip.K*s*5u
B.Bright Angel Trail was not as lovely as they expected.
C.The children were more joyful than their parents.
D.The summer heat prevented them from enjoying the view.
42.The underlined expression"Our legs were like jelly"probably meansC.
A.we were dissatisfied              B.we were unhappy
C.we were weak                      D.we were disappointed
43.Which of the following best describes their Canyon trip by air?D
A.It made each of them tired.      B.It was more comfortable.
C.It turned out to be exciting.    D.It proved to be frightening.
44.We can infer from the passage thatA.
A.the writer was not serious when she made the suggestion.
B.one needs to dress les when visiting the Grand Canyon.
C.experiencing the Canyon on mules would be the best way.
D.the whole family narrowly escaped from the air accident.

15.I made a promise to myself on the way down to the vacation beach cottage.For two weeks I would try to be a loving husband and father.Totally loving.No ifs,ands or buts.
The idea had come to me as I listened to a talk on my car radio.The speaker was quoting a Biblical passage about husbands and their wives.Then he went on to say,"Love is an act of will.A person can choose to love."To myself,I had to admit that I had been a selfish husband.Well,for two weeks that would change.
And it did.Right from the moment I kissed Evelyn at the door and said,"That new yellow sweater looks great on you.""Oh,Tom,you noticed",she said,surprised and pleased.Maybe a little puzzled.After the long drive,I wanted to sit and read.Evelyn suggested a walk on the beach.I started to refuse,but then I thought,"Evelyn's been alone here with the kids all week and now she wants to be alone with me."We walked on the beach while the children flew their kites.
So it went.Two weeks of not calling the Wall Street firm where I am a director; a visit to the shell museum though I usually hate museums.Relaxed and happy,that's how the whole vacation passed.I made a new promise to keep on remembering to choose love.?
There was one thing that went wrong with my experiment,however.Evelyn and I still laugh about it today.On the last night at our cottage,preparing for bed,Evelyn stared at me with the saddest expression.

"What do you mean?"
"Well…that checkup I had several weeks ago…our doctor…did he tell you something about me?Tom,you've been so good to me…am I dying?"
It took a moment for it all to be understood.Then I burst out laughing.

2.Knowing how much her own children loved presents at Christmas,Ann Sutton always tried to seek help for one or two poor families.With a social worker mother,the Sutton children had inherited her commitment to service,and knew never to take their good fortune at Christmas for granted.This year,Kinzie,her seven-year-old daughter was thrilled that Santa Claus would make a special visit to a 22-year-old mother named Ashley who worked in a factory raising her 12-month-old son by herself.
The phone rang on Sunday.A representative from a local organization was calling to say that the aid Ann had requested for Ashley had fallen through.No Santa Claus,no presents,nothing.
Ann saw the cheer vanish from her children's faces at the news.Without a word,Kinzie ran into her bedroom.She returned,her face set with determination.Opening up her piggy bank,she put all the coins onto the table:3.30. Everything she had.
"Mom,"she told Ann,"I know it's not much.But maybe this will buy a present for the baby."
At a breakfast meeting the next day,Ann told her coworkers about her daughter's story.To her surprise,staff members began to open their purses and empty their pockets to help Kinzie.By day's end,the story of Kinzie's gift had spread beyond Ann's office.She received a call from an unknown donor.If a seven-year-old could give everything she had,he said,he should at least match her gift 100 to 1.He contributed  300.
On Christmas Eve,Ann drove through the pouring rain to the small trailer where the Ashleys lived.Then she began to unload the gifts from the car,handing them to Ashley one by one.
Ashley was very moved.Reflecting on a little girl's generosity,Ashley says she'll one day be able to do something similar for someone else in need."Kinzie could have used that money for herself,but she gave it away,"Ashley says."She's the type of kid I'd like my son to grow up to be."

Kays is a small firm,employing than ten skilled workers.Master craftsman and co-owner James Wyllie is skilled at all phases of curling stone making and is also an enthusiastic curler,as well as active member of Mauchline's Burns Club,which meets regularly to honor well-known Mauchline residents.
