I understand you.I still can’t support you. A．When B．After C．While D．As 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

A student and his teacher were walking through the forest. The student was disturbed(扰乱) by the fact that his mind was in constant unrest（不安）. He asked his teacher, “Why most people’s minds are restless, and only a few have a calm mind? What can one do to still the mind ?”
The teacher looked at him, smiled and said, “I will tell you a story. An elephant was standing and picking leaves from a tree. A small fly came, flying and buzzing near his ear. The elephant waved it away with his long ears. Then the fly came again, and the elephant waved it away denovo”. This was repeated several times. Then the elephant asked the fly, “Why are you so restless and noisy? Why can't you stay for a while in one place?" The fly answered, "I am attracted to whatever I see, hear or smell. My five senses pull me constantly in all directions and I cannot resist them. What is your secret? How can you stay so calm and still?" The elephant stopped eating and said, “My five senses do not rule my attention. Whatever I do, I get immersed(沉湎于) in it. Now that I am eating, I am completely immersed in eating. In this way I can enjoy my food and chew（咀嚼）it better. I rule and control my attention, and not the other way around."
The student's eyes opened wide and smile rose on his face. "I understand! If my five senses are in control of my mind and attention, then my mind is in constant unrest. If I am in charge of my five senses and attention, then my mind becomes calm".
"Yes, that's right", answered the teacher, "The mind is restless and goes wherever the attention is. Control your attention, and you control your mind".

One day, Mom was sewing a quilt（被子）. I 43 sat down beside her. “Mom, I have a 44 here,” I said after a while. “Is there love between you and Dad?” I asked her in a very　45 voice.

Mom stopped her work and raised her head with 46 in her eyes. She didn’t answer immediately. She bent her head and continued to sew the quilt. I was 47 if I had hurt her. I was in great embarrassment and I was at a loss what to do. But at last she said, very 48 , “Susan, look at this 49 . Sometimes it appears, but most of it disappears in the quilt. The thread really makes the quilt strong and lasting. If 50 is a quilt, then love should be a thread. It can hardly be seen, but it’s really there. 51 is inside.”

I listened carefully but I couldn’t understand her until years later.

One day, Dad accidentally got　 52 while on duty. Ever since then he could no longer　 53　properly. Every morning and dusk Mom would help Dad walk slowly on the country road. Along the country road, there were beautiful flowers, green grass and trees. The leaves were gently glistening（发光） 54 the sun shining upon them.

“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day. “Susan, don’t worry about me,” he said gently. “I just like walking with your mom. I like this kind of life.” Looking into his eyes, I 56　what they meant.

The doctor had said Dad would 57 in two months. But that day never came. He 58 away in peace.

A．Dear Mom,

Every time it’s your birthday, I remember all the great birthday parties you gave me when I was growing up．I especially remember the one when I turned to 16, and the words you and Dad said to me．Now I hope you enjoy the birthday party I’m holding for you．

B．Dear Dan,

It’s over! High school is now part of the past．But consider what your graduation day really means, aside from the gifts．It’s the beginning of a life filled with goals that only you can attain．You’ve made it through 4 important years, and we’re confident you’ll make it through anything else you’ll have to face．

C．Dear Tom,

I’m 16, but my grandmother treats me as if I were 5．She uses a baby voice around me, which is really annoying, but I’m afraid to say anything because I don’t want to make her feel bad．How can I tell her my feelings, and let her know I’m growing up?

D．Dear Tina,

I was almost unwilling to open your gift because it was so wonderfully wrapped．The paper was just lovely! I want to thank you for thinking of me．I’m sure you spent hours making this lovely sweater, and it’s so soft that I feel as if you’ve sent me 100 hugs．Every time I wear it I’ll think of you．

E．Dear Aunt Pam,

Thank you so much for the cards and gifts you sent me for Christmas．I hope Uncle Mike and Little John are well．Next week I’m going to my father’s for the holiday．I wonder if you could come down and visit us．I haven’t seen you for nearly two years!

F．Dear Mom,

I think you’re the greatest．I know you have faults, but I can’t think of any at the moment．You deserve much more than this small gift in return for everything that you’ve done for me, but it’s all that I can afford．Hopefully, by the time I become a mom, I’ll be able to be as giving to my child as you’ve been to me．

请为下面回复的信件或者便条匹配合适的来信或便条：

1.Dear Sucre,

I understand exactly what you’re telling me, and I think this problem is very common．Don’t forget that, from your grandmother’s perspective, even your father and mother are just babies．Talk with your parents and ask them to talk with your grandmother．I’m sure they’ll be able to explain to her that it’s time to stop．

2.Dear Amanda,

Glad to hear from you! We haven’t seen each other since waiting at the Cincinnati Airport for that connection to London．And I’m really missing you! I’d love to see you, but Mike and I plan to visit the Lake District then．Please say hello to your dad．

3.Dear Michael,

My dear son, you’re growing up so fast, and turning into an impressive person．I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep after the party．You know, you really gave me a big surprise when I entered the room, and made me realize how considerate and kind you’ve turned out to be．

4.Dear Amy,

Thank you so much for your gift．Best of all for me, though, was to see that you’ve become an independent woman．I’m sure you’ll succeed in whatever you do, sooner or later．And some thing you can be sure of: I’ll always be proud of you!

5.Dear Linda,

You are the most caring and self-accepting person I know．I think of you as my soul sister．At this special moment, this sweater I made with my own hands seems like the best way to express my feelings．I wish you a great birthday, and a great year ahead．

Since I moved to Seattle, there’s no farm whose name has come up more than Quillisascut. Quillisascut is a cheese company, 36 what they call “traditional farmstead cheese’’, but it’s also a school. 37 completing a five-day “Introduction to Farming” workshop at Quillisascut, I understand why this farm school is so 38 . I hope that you can one day visit it, too.

At Quillisascut, mornings begin at 5:30 am with 39 and milking the goats. The morning’s 40 is made into cheese in the afternoon. Cheese making requires many steps. The process can take one day to several months, 41 the type of cheese being made.

During our workshop, we were lucky enough to have the farm’s chefs 42 meals of grains and beans from neighboring farms and herbs from the garden. All of the foods used for cooking are either grown there or 43 sourced.

Any 44 from meals is made into compost(堆肥). It is 45 onto the farm’s land, transforming Quillisascut’s soil 46 fertile salad bars for the goats. In addition to sunlight, rain, and compost, the goat farm 47 seeding and reseeding.

When I know where my food came from, who 48 it, and the complex process it took to get to my 49 , food does more than fuel my body. It also heats my 50 . I wonder how different our food and healthcare systems would look like if all people learnt firsthand about the 51 and tears involved in bringing food to the table.

If every food production operation 52 the public onto its ground, it is possible that our country’s food system would look very different; and our country’s connection with food could 53 . But for now, Quillisascut and other educational farms are making a(an) 54 , carrying out the goal “to make the world a more 55 place”.
