One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather.Several times, it   36    several obstacles in its path.And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (绕道).  37   one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide.After some   38    thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   39   it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way.I was   40   by the cleverness of this ant.It was only a small insect, lacking in   41   yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  42    this ant, like the other two-legged creatures   43   on the earth, also shares human failings.

       After some time the ant   44   reached its destination --- a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   45   home.It was there that the ant met its   46  .How could that large feather possibly   47   such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t.So the ant, after all this   48   and using great brightness, overcoming problems a1l along the way, just gave up the   49   and went home.The ant had not thought the problem through   50   it began its journey and in the end the feather was   51   more than a burden.Isn’t our   52   like that?

       We worry about our families; we worry about the   53   of money; and we worry about all kinds of things.These are all burdens --- the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   54   that at the destination they are   55   and we can’t take them with us.

I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.
San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.
Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.

A. was born in San Francisco      B. likes living in London

D. he couldn't get on well with the other children
3. Which of the following is TRUE?

B. The writer had no education at all.
C. The writer didn't have lessons every day.

B. he tried his best to read music
C. he wanted it very much
D. his mother was pleased with his progress

One morning a few years ago,Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man,it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work,he might wear himself out and die an early death.

Only after a week's leave—during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach—was Rudenstine able to return to work.

In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Surprisingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying:“I am so busy.”

We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax—this has become the model of a successful life.

Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.

How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week—for followers of some religions—for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals,walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.

Rest is a spiritual and biological need;however,in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities,we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath ”is more than simply permission to rest;it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.

50. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “______”.

  A. a signal of stress                                   B. a warning of danger

  C. a sign of age                                       D. a spread of disease

51. According to Paragraph 4,a successful person is one who is believed to ____.

  A. be able to work without stress              B. be more talented than other people

  C. be more important than anyone else   D. be busy working without time to rest

52. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they ____.

  A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions

  B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life

  C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest

  D. think that taking a rest means being lazy

53. What is the main idea of this passage?

  A. We should balance work with rest.

  B. The Sabbath givers us permission to rest.

  C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am so busy.”

  D. We should be available to our family and friends.

 

I was loading (装载) my truck to go to the market when I hurt my left eye. The pain was like a hot sword(剑) being shoved through my head. I fell down on my hands and knees, and I knew it was bad.

I was taken to the Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, and the doctors operated on me several times but couldn’t save my left eye. When they told me the news, I wanted to die.

Even after I got my fake(假的) eye, I couldn’t shake the sadness. To make matters worse, I lost my job as a transportation officer because of my lost eye. But one morning, I woke up and the TV was on, and there was a 16-year-old girl who had been badly burned on her face and legs. Her situation was much worse than mine. She wore a big smile and seemed to look right at me and said, “You can’t ever give up.” At that moment, I thought, “This is just an eye. Get over it.” And I did.

It’s been almost 12 years since my accident, and there’s nothing I can’t do now that I used to do. And although I didn’t get my old job back, I got my license again.

I read a story once. In that story, a man was feeling bad because he had no shoes until he met a man who had no feet. No matter how terrible your problem is, remember there’s always someone somewhere who’s worse off. So cheer up and smile at life!

1.Because of the accident, the writer _______.

A.lost both of his hands.

B.lost one of his eyes

C.was paid a lot of money

D.knew he was not a good driver

2.According to Paragraph 2, when the writer heard the bad news, _______.

A.he decided to refuse the fake eye

B.he accepted the fact immediately

C.he decided to live a happier life

D.he felt extremely sad

3.What can we learn from the passage?

A.The writer got his old job back

B.The writer can’t see things clearly

C.The writer is not strong-minded

D.The writer has got over the accident

4.By writing his story, the writer most probably wants to _______.

A.tell us his unusual experience

B.ask people to help the disabled

C.advised us to be positive(积极乐观的) about life

D.tell us that accident can happen anytime
