I had always loved music and dreamed of being a musician, travelling to different countries, meeting lots of people and doing something I loved to earn my money.   16 , my parents had a farm and I didn’t want to do that—I wanted to do something   17 . However, I had always been shy and too nervous to try playing   18  in public.
I had been playing the   19  since I was ten years old, but the idea of playing in front of other people was very   20 .
I started one day,   21  a local youth club advertised a talent show—anybody who could play an instrument or sing could put his name down to be in concert. I   22  myself up.
When the day of the show came, I was so   23  that I couldn’t eat.   24  was the first time I had played in front of other people and I felt   25  unsure of myself. I had no idea whether I was   26  good and was worried that no one would like me.
When my turn came, I played my favorite tune and I even started to   27 ! I could not hear what I sounded like, but to my surprise, I eventually forgot about all the people in the audience and started to enjoy myself. When the song ended, everyone clapped and some people
  28 !
After the show a man   29  up to me to say how much he enjoyed my   30 . He said that he had a rock band, and they needed to   31  a guitar player. He asked me to come along the next day to have a try. This successful trial turned my dream into   32 . In the following days, we   33  around a lot, playing in concerts in lots of places around the world. Sometimes we would enter competitions and once we went on TV.
We really enjoyed ourselves and life was like a big long holiday. As we became more successful, we had to work harder and practice more and eventually I became   34  of travelling so much. But now, nearly fifty years later, I look back on those carefree days of my
  35  as among the best moments of my life.

When I was fourteen, I earned money in the summer by cutting lawns（草坪）, and within a few weeks I had built up a body of customers. I got to know people by the flowers they planted that I had to remember not to cut down, by the things they lost in the grass or struck in the ground on purpose. I reached the point with most of them when I knew in advance what complaint was about to be spoken, which particular request was most important. And I learned something about the measure of my neighbors by their preferred method of payment: by the job, by the month--- or not at all.
Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no  change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money apart, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he’d see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-relayed injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didn’t worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballou’s property comprised didn’t take long to trim (修剪).
Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light. 
“ I owe you,” Mr Ballou, “ but…”
I thought I’d save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “ No problem. Don’t worry about it.”
“ The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “ It will be cleared up in a day or two . But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment.
He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.
“ Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”
“ I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal--- so I started to look through the piles of books.
“ You actually read all of these?”
“ This isn’t much,” Mr. Ballou said. “ This is nothing, just what I’ve kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”
“ Pick for me, then.”
He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick.
“ The Last of the Just,” I read. “ By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What’s it about?” “ You tell me,” he said. “ Next week.”
I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the night,
To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was stunned (震惊) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week. When Mr. Ballou asked, “ Well?” I only replied, “ It was good?”
“ Keep it, then,” he said. “ Shall I suggest another?”
I nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples--- anthropology (人类学) ).
To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) ( though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.
小题1:.The author thought that Mr. Ballou was ______________.
A．rich but meanB．poor but polite
C．honest but forgettableD．strong but lazy
小题2:. Before his encounter with Mr. Ballou, the author used to read _____________.
A．anything and everythingB．only what was given to him
C．only serious novelsD．nothing in the summer
小题3:. The author found the first book Mr. Ballou gave him _____________.
A．light-heated and enjoyableB．dull but well written
C．impossible to put downD．difficult to understand
小题4:. From what he said to the author we can gather that Mr. Ballou _______________.
A．read all books twiceB．did not do much reading
C．read more books than he keptD．preferred to read hardbound books
小题5:. The following year the author _______________.
A．started studying anthropology at collegeB．continued to cut Mr. Ballou’s lawn
C．spent most of his time lazing away in a hammock
D．had forgotten what he had read the summer before
小题6:. The author’s main point is that _____________.
A．summer jobs are really good for young people
B．you should insist on being paid before you do a job
C．a good book can change the direction of your life
D．a book is like a garden carried in the pocket.

Twenty years ago，I drove a taxi for a living．I met  2l  people．But none touched me  22  than a woman I picked up late one night．
I received a call from  23 in a quiet part of town．When I arrived at 2：30 a．m．,the building was  24  except for a single light in a ground floor window．I  walked to the door and  25 ．“Just a minute，”answered a  26 ，elderly voice．After a long pause，the door opened．A small woman  27  her 80s stood before me．Beside her was a small suitcase．I took it to the taxi．and then returned to  28 the woman．She took my arm and we walked  29  toward the roadside．
Seated，she gave me  30 ．“I’m on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院)．I'm in no hurry．Can you drive through downtown?” I saw her eyes shining with  31 in the rearview mirror．“I don’t have any  32  left．”she continued．“The doctor says I don’t have very long．”
During the next two hours’ 33 , sometimes she asked me to  34 in front of a particular building or corner and she  35 stare into the darkness．When we got to the destination，she asked，“How much do I   36 you?” “Nothing，”I said．“You            37 make a living．”she answered．“I have  38  passengers，”I replied，and gave her a hug． She held onto me  39 ．“You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,” she said．“Thank you.”
After that，I drove aimlessly，lost in thought．People usually believe that our lives center upon great moments．  40 great moments often catch us unaware，beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one．

Step to Discovering Your Passion
By Julie Jordan Scott
Even before the first tip, you simply must get out a notebook, journal, piece of paper, napkin … SOMETHING to write on to save your discoveries! These tips will only help if you pursue them, so please either take a moment to find writing tools NOW or print this out and promise yourself to complete this exercise later. It may take you some thinking time to get it done . . . and now . . . here are your tips . . . . .
1. Find Your Joy Factor
Look at the whole of your life history. When did you experience the most sustained period of Joy? What were you doing then? Where were you? Who were you with? How did it feel?
2. What Are Your 3 Most Favorite things to do?
If you had a free day with NO commitments, where would you be found? What would you be doing with whom?
3. In what area do you excel? (NO MODESTY ALLOWED HERE!)
Truly, what are you complimented on a lot? This could be ANYTHING.
4. What do you most want to be remembered for?
If you were designing your epitaph(墓者铭), what would you want it to say? (NOT what your Mom wants, or your SPOUSE(配偶的一方) wants or your third cousin twice removed, but what do YOU want your headstone to say?)
5. If you had a magic wand(魔杖), what would you change about your life TODAY?
How would it look compared to how it looks now? which aspects of your life ARE changeable, both short term and long term?
6. How does your Joy factor overlap with your favorite things and the areas in which you excel? Do the areas in which you excel bring YOU joy, or are they really for someone else . . . . . do you see which are obvious matches, and which do not fit? Those that overlap, that bring YOU the most Joy, are most likely the things that would bring you into Passionate Living.
7. What is the first even teeny tiny step you can take to living out your Passion as you have defined in #6?
Take some time to really think this one through . . . . . . concentrate and focus, and then you will be able to start the the next step . . . BUILDING YOUR ROAD MAP.

Looking back on my childhood, I believe that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were all brought up in the same way, my brothers and my sisters soon gave up their flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do maths well.
Before World War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I remember clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of the dogs, farm animals, local birds, and above all, insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love for the natural world and my passion has led me into varied explorations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something brings these observations together in my mind. This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books.
But curiosity, a keen （敏锐的）eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist. A scientist, up to a point, can be made. A naturalist is born. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
小题1:The first paragraph tells us the writer        .
A．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood
B．lost his hearing when he was a child
C．didn’t like his brothers and sisters
D．was born into a naturalist’s family
小题2:The writer can’t clearly remember his relatives probably because        .
A．he didn’t live very long with them
B．the family was very large
C．he was too young when he lived with them
D．he devoted himself to observing nature
小题3:It can be inferred from the passage that the writer was        .
A．a scientist as well as a naturalist
B．not a naturalist but a scientist
C．only a born naturalist
D．first of all a scientist
小题4:According to the writer, a born naturalist should first of all be        .
A．good at mathsB．full of passion
C．knowledgeableD．self-controlled
              Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest retailer （零售商）. It's the world's largest company, which sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year.
Wal-Mart exercises its power for just one purpose: to bring the lowest possible prices to its customers. At Wal-Mart, that goal is never reached. The retailer has a clear policy for suppliers: On basic products that don't change, the price Wal-Mart will pay, and will charge shoppers, must drop year after year. But what almost no one outside the world of Wal-Mart and none of its 21,000 suppliers know is the high cost of those low prices. To survive in the face of its pricing demands, makers of everything from bikes to jeans have had to close US plants in favor of obtaining products from abroad.
Indeed, the real story of Wal-Mart, the story that never gets told, is the story of the pressure the biggest retailer constantly applies to its suppliers in the name of bringing us "every day low prices".
The giant retailer' s low prices often come with a high cost. Wal-Mart' s pressure can crush the companies it does business with and force them to send jobs overseas. Are we shopping our way straight to the unemployment line? Of course, US companies have been moving jobs offshore for decades, long before Wal-Mart was a retailing power. But there is no question that the chain is helping accelerate the loss of American jobs to low-wage countries such as Thailand.
People ask, "How can it be bad for things to come into the US cheaply?" Sure, it's great to have bargains. But you can' t buy anything if you' re not employed.
There is no question that Wal-Mart's drive to squeeze out cost has benefited consumers. By now, it is accepted wisdom that Wal-Mart makes the companies it does business with more efficient and focused. Wal-Mart itself is known for continuous improvement in its ability to handle, move, and track goods. It is legendary （传奇） for forcing its suppliers to redesign everything from their packaging to their computer systems. It is also legendary for quite straightforwardly telling them what it will pay for their goods.
小题1: How do suppliers meet the requirements of Wal-Mart?
A．To sell even more goods in three months.
B．To cut down the employment rate sharply.
C．To charge shoppers at a much higher price.
D．To run the business in a well-organized way.
小题2: Wal-Mart's low price policy results in ____.
A．more high-paying jobs
B．better designed packages
C．bigger profit of its partners
D．more jobless American workers
小题3: What can we infer from the passage?
A．Still more quality goods will be provided.
B．The food you get at Wal-Mart costs least.
