3.阅读短文,并按照题目要求用英语回答问题.
Six days a week,up and down the red hills of northeast Georgia,my grandfather brought the mail to the folks there.At age 68,he retired from the post office,but he never stopped serving the community.
On his 80th birthday,I sent him a letter,noting the things we all should be thankful for-good health,good friends and good outcomes.By most measurements he was a happy man.Then I suggested it was time for him to slow down.At long last,in a comfortable home,with a generous pension,he should learn to take things easy.
"Thank you for your nice words,"he wrote in his letter back,"and I know what you meant,but slowing down scares me.Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made."
"The finest and happiest years of our lives were not when all the debts were paid,and all difficult experiences had passed,and we had settled into a comfortable home.No.I go back years ago,when we lived in a three-room house,when we got up before daylight and worked till after dark to make ends meet.I rarely had more than four hours of sleep.But what I still can't figure out is why I never got tired,never felt better in my life.I guess the answer is,we were fighting for survival,protecting and providing for those we loved.What matters are not the great moments,but the partial victories,the waiting,and even the defeats.It's the journey,not the arrival,that counts."
The letter ended with a personal request:"Boy,on my next birthday,just tell me to wake up and get going,because I will have one less year to do things-and there are ten million things waiting to be done."
Christina Rossetti,an English poet,once said:"Does the road wind uphill all the way?Yes,to the very end."Today,at 96,my grandfather is still on that long road,climbing.

56.What was the author's grandfather before he retired?(no more than 5words)He was a postman.Or:He worked in a post-office.
57.What did the author advise his grandfather to do in his letter?(no more than 10words)He advised him to slow down (and take things easy).
/He advised he/his grandfather (should) slow down.
58.What is the grandfather's view on life according to his letter back?(no more than 10words)The process is more important than the result.
Or:A man should not slow down however old he is.
Or:Life isn't having it made; it's getting it made./It's the journey,not the arrivalthatcounts.
59.How do you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?(no more than 10words)My/His/The grandfather is still busy doing meaningful things.
Or:The grandfather is still living an active life.
Or:The grandfather is still involved in whatever he can do.
60.Do you agree with the grandfather's view on life?Give reasons in your own words,(no more than 20words)Yes.One should always be full of passion in his life no matter how old he is.
Or:People should make full use of their time to do something meaningful
No.It is more sensible for people to slow down and enjoy an easy life in their old age.
Or:Slowing down contributes to better health and longer life for people in old age.
1.Life can be so wonderful,full of adventure and joy.It can also be full of challenges,setbacks and heartbreaks.Whatever our circumstances,we generally still have dreams,hopes and desires-that little something more we want for ourselves and our loved ones.Yet knowing we can have more can also create a problem,because when we go to change the way we do things,up come the old patterns and pitfalls  that stopped us from seeking what we wanted in the first place.
This tension between what we feel we can have and"what we're seemingly able to have is the niggling suffering,the anxiety we feel.This is where we usually think it's easier to just give up.But we're never meant to let go of the part of us that knows we can have more.The intelligence behind that knowing is us-the real us.It's the part that believes in life and its possibilities.If you drop that,you begin to feel a little"dead"inside because you're dropping"you".
So,if we have this capability but somehow life seems to keep us stuck,how do we break these patterns?
Decide on a new course and make one decision at a time.This is good advice for a new adventure or just getting through today's challenges.
While,deep down,we know we can do it,our mind-or the minds of those close to us-usually says we can't.
That isn't a reason to stop,it's just the mind,that little man or woman on your shoulder,trying to talk you out of something again.It has done it many times before.It's all about starting simple and doing it now.
Decide and act before overthinking.When you do this you may feel a little,or large,release from the jail of your mind and you'll be on your way.
 
68.It can be inferred from the first two paragraphs that we shouldC.

C.stick to our dreams under any circumstances
D.be content with what we already have
69.What is the key to breaking the old patterns?B.
A.To focus on every detail.
B.To decide and take immediate action.
C.To listen to those close to us.
D.To think twice before we act.
70.Which of the following best explains the underlined part in the last paragraph?C.
A.Escape from your punishment.
B.Realization of your dreams.
C.Freedom from your tension.
D.Reduction of your expectations.
71.What does the author intend to tell us?A.
A.It's easier than we think to get what we want.
B.It's important to learn to accept sufferings in life.
C.It's impractical to change our way of thinking.
D.It's harder than we expect to follow a new course.
