　　The summer I was ten, my mother decided to bring us to the world of art．My brother and I were not very excited when we realized what my mother meant．What she meant was not that we could take drawing classes or painting classes but that we would have to spend one afternoon a week with her at the Fine Arts Museum．Before each visit to the museum, she made us read about artists and painting styles．It was almost as bad as being in school．Who wants to spend the summer thinking about artists when you could be with your friends at the swimming pool?

　　First we had to read about ancient Egyptians(古埃及人)and their strange way of painting faces and then go to look at them at the museum．My 12－year－old brother thought this was so funny, but I was not interested．Later we had to learn about artists in the Middle Ages who painted people wearing strange long clothing．We had to look at pictures of fat babies with wings and curly(鬈曲的)hair and with no clothes on flying around the edges of paintings．I certainly couldn't see what was so great about art．

　　On our last visit to the museum, something happened when I saw a painting by a woman called Mary．In it, a woman was reading to a child．The colors were soft and gentle, and you could tell by the mother's expression how happy she was just to be with the child．I couldn't stop looking at this painting! I wanted to see every painting Mary had ever made! It was really worth looking at so many paintings to find a painter who could interest me so much．

阅读下面的短文, 并根据短文后的要求答题。

Years ago, when I started looking for my first job, wise advisers told me, “Barbara, be enthusiastic! Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”

How right they were! Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure, extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.

“Nothing was ever achieved without enthusiasm.” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.①. It is the inner voice that whispers, “I can do it!” When others shout, “No, you can’t!”

It took years and years for the early work of Barbara Mclintock, a geneticist who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine, to be generally accepted. Yet she didn’t stop working on her experiments. ②

We are all born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder and it is this childlike wonder that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, whatever their age.

At 90, cellist Pablo Casals would start his day by playing Bach. As the music flowed through his fingers, his stooped shoulders would straighten and joy would reappear in his eyes. ③ As author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote, “Years wrinkle(起皱纹) the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.”

How do you rediscover the enthusiasm of your childhood? The answer, I believe, lies in the word itself. “Enthusiasm” comes from the Greek and means “God within”. And what is God within is but a sense of love---proper love of self(self-acceptance) and, from that, love of others.

④ If we can’t do what we love as a full-time career, we can as a hobby. Elizabeth Layton of Wellsville, Kan, was 68 before she began to draw. This activity ended periods of depression that had troubled her for at least 30years, and the quality of her work led one critic to say, “ I am tempted to call Layton as a genius.”

We can’t afford to waste tears on “might-have-been”. We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”.

We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses---finding pleasure in the backyard garden, the simple picture of a six-year-old, the charming beauty of a rainbow.

第一节：根据短文内容, 从A、B、C、D、E中选出最合适放入短文空缺处的选项，并将序号及相应答案写在答题纸上。选项中有一项是多余选项。

A. A. Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.

B. Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years.

C. It can certainly help you hang in there when the going gets tough.

D. Music, for Casals, was a hobby that made life a never ending adventure.

E. Enthusiastic people also love what they do, regardless of money or title or power.

I had never been much interested in sports. I had tried playing tennis, swimming and running but found nothing I liked. But 10 years ago, I found the right kind of exercise--- 41 .
Why did I start walking? At the age of twenty, my doctor told me I had a serious illness and 42 not live longer. I was so 43 then. I spent all of my life worrying. The doctor suggested that I should 44 . I didn’t listen at first. 45 , after several months, I began to get the meaning of the doctor’s words. While I was walking, I began to 46 flowers. I would stop and enjoy their beauty. I 47 found that I had missed the most beautiful part of life--- flowers, falling leaves, snow-covered houses. I had been wasting time worrying about 48 .
