4.After a terrible electrical accident,which caused him to become both blind and deaf,the whole world became completely dark and quiet for Robert Edwards for almost ten years.The loss of sight and hearing threw him into such sorrow that he tried a few times to put an end to his life.His family,especially his wife,did their best to tend and comfort him and finally he regained the will to live.
One hot summer afternoon,he was taking a walk with a stick near his house when a thunderstorm started all at once.He stood under a large tree to avoid getting wet,but he was struck by the lightning.Witnesses thought he was dead but he woke up some 20minutes later lying face down in muddy water at the base of the tree.He was trembling badly,but when he opened his eyes,he could hardly believe what he saw:a plough and a wall.When Mrs.Edwards came running up to him,shouting to their neighbors to call for help,he could see her and hear her voice for the first time in nearly ten years.
The news of Robert regaining his sight and hearing quickly spread,and many doctors came to examine him.Most of them said that he regained his sight and hearing from the shock he got from the lightning.However,none of them could give a convincing answer as to why this should have happened.The only reasonable explanation given by one doctor was that,since Robert lost his sight and hearing as a result of a sudden shock,perhaps,the only way for him to regain them was by another sudden shock.

24.The reason for Robert's attempts to kill himself was thatA.

16.On a snowy and cold morning,near Oxford Maryland,a friend of mine was about to set the breakfast table when she leaned forward and peered close to the frosted window.She saw a large Canada goose,very(21)still,its wings folded tight to its sides,its feet frozen to the(212)iceon the Tred Avon River.
Then from the dark skies,she saw a line of swans moving steadily and gracefully to the(23)east.Suddenly the leader swung to the right,then the white line became a white circle and(24)floatedfrom the top of the sky downward,and finally(25)landedon the ice.As the swans surrounded the(26)frozengoose,she feared the poor goose might lose its(27)lifequickly.
Instead,amazingly instead,those swans began to woke(用利喙啄) on the ice.The long(28)neckswere lifted and curved down,again and again; it went on for a long time.At last,the goose's head(29)lifted.Its body pulled.Then the goose was(30)free.Following the31leader,the swans rose again.As the goose was(33)movingits big feet slowly,the swans stood in the air watching.(33)Then,as if it had cried,"I cannot fly,"four of the swans came down (34)aroundit.Their powerful beaks scraped the goose's wings from top to bottom,scuttled under its wings and(35)rode upits body,chipping off the ice held in the feathers.(36)Whenat last the wings were able to spread and reach their fullest,the four swans(37)tookoff and joined their group,going on with their eastward journey.Behind them,rising with incredible speed and(38)thanks,the goose moved into the(39)skyand joined the elegant line.
