6．The first visit to a foreign country that I can remember was when I was about seven years old．We lived about 5miles away from the Canadian border（边界）．My family and I went to Parc Safari，Quebec，a wonderful place that has animals and rides．We drove down a nice long road．My sister and I sat in the back of the car，and it was a hatchback（有仓门式后背的汽车） so we opened it up．I remember feeding the animals snacks we had bought for ourselves．
When we arrived，there were not monkeys because they had escaped and had not been found．I remember thinking to myself，how cool it would be to see a monkey in our backyard．
Even though the monkeys were not there it was still so much fun．When we reched the area that had camels，giraffe and other animals，I remember one of the camels reached into the car to get our snacks．However，we were a little gross out because the camels seemed to froth（吐白沫） at the mouth and we had camel slobber（口水） all over the car and us．
It was one of the best family vacations that I can remember．It was not too far from home，it was in a different country and it was with my family．I cannot remember if we went on the rides or not but seeing many animals was a great time．Now I am grown up and have a son，and I am planning to go there again．He is 7years old and I think he is at a great age to enjoy a trip like this．I am sure it has changed a lot over the years but it will still be a great family trip．

5．Many years ago the idea of disabled people doing sport was never heard of．But when the yearly games for the disabled were started at Stoke Mandeville，England in 1948by Sir Ludwig Guttmann，the situation began to change．
Sir Ludwig Guttmann，who had been driven to England in 1939from Nazi Germany，had been asked by the British government to set up an injuries centre at Stoke Mandeville Hospital near London．His ideas about treating injuries included sport for the disabled．
In the first games just two teams of injured soldiers took part．The next year 1949，five teams took part．From those beginnings，things have developed fast．Teams now come from abroad to Stoke Mandeville every year．In 1960the first Olympics for the disabled were held in Rome，in the same place as the normal Olympic Games．Now，every four years the Olympic Games for the disabled are held，if possible，in the same place as the normal Olympic Games，although they are organized separately．In other years Games for the disabled are still held at Stoke Mandeville．In the 1984wheelchair Olympic Games，1064wheelchair athletes from about 40countries took part．Unfortunately，they were held at Stoke Mandeville and not in Los Angeles，along with the other Olympics．
The Games have been a great success in helping the progress of international friendship and understanding，and in proving that being disabled does not mean you can't enjoy sport．One small source of disappointment for those who organize and take part in the games，however，has been the unwillingness of the International Olympic Committee to include disabled events at the Olympic Games for the able bodied．Perhaps a few more years is still needed to persuade those fortunate enough not to be disabled that their disabled fellow athletes should be included．

19．I had an experience some years ago，which taught me something about the ways in which people make a bad situation worse by themselves．One January，I had to hold two funerals on successive days for two elderly women in my community．Both had died"full of years"，as the Bible would say．Their homes happened to be near each other，so I paid condolence（吊唁）calls on the two families on the same afternoon．
At the first home，the son of the deceased woman said to me，"If only I had sent my mother to Florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow，she would be alive today．It's my fault that she died．"At the second home，the son of the other deceased woman said，"If only I hadn't insisted on my mother's going to Florida，she would be alive today．That long airplane ride，the sudden change of climate，was more than she could take．It's my fault that she's dead．"
You see that any time there is a death，the survivors will feel guilty．Because the course of action they took turned out bad，they believe that the opposite course------keeping mother at home，putting off the operation----would have turned out better．After all，how could it have turned out any worse？
There seem to be two elements involved in our willingness to feel guilty．The first is our pressing need to believe that the world makes sense，that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens．That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds．
The second element is the view that we are the cause of what happens，especially the bad things that happen．It seems to be a short step from believing that every event has a cause to believing that every disaster is our fault．The roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood．
A baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs，and that he makes everything happen in it．He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks．He cries，and someone comes to attend to him．When he is hungry，people feed him，and when he is wet，people change him．Very often，we don not completely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen．

A．he was minister of the local church
B．he wanted to comfort the two families
C．he was an official of the community
D．he had great pity for the deceased

18．My father often talks about his definition of success．He tells us that it isn't measured in money or material things，but in love and joy．While my brothers and I were all raised together under the same roof，I wonder how different we can be sometimes．Four kids，four different life paths，personalities and ambitions．
We must follow a different path to let our light shine，and that's what makes us so unpredictable and unique．In today's world，expecting every child's education to be the same，progress at the same rate and be measured against the narrow standards of performances is not just outdated，it's also harmful to young people．
I experienced this disconnect（脱节） firsthand after graduating from college．I had many opportunities in front of me，but they didn't test my limits and my creativity to pursue my passions．At first，I took a job at a big consulting firm．However，I couldn't shake my passion for music．I had followed the somewhat predictable path of a college graduate，but I was crazy about how to become an artist．Now I am a nine-time Grammy Awards winner who has sold multiple Top 10Albums．
Imagine what it would look like if our schools were set up to help people discover and pursue a personal passion instead of a predictable path？The good news is that a number of individuals and organizations are finding new ways to innovate in education．The goal is to create more student-centered environments that help young people not just do better in school but also discover what they love．
We can't live lives of joy if we can't discover what we love doing with our lives．So let each person discover the power and uniqueness of his or her own passion．

A．Pleasure．B．Ability．C．Wealth．D．Fame．
