The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath an old willow tree. Not 36__ with life, I was down. A young boy out of breath 37 me, all tired from play. He stood right before me with his head tilted（傾斜的） down, 38 with great excitement, “Look what I found!”
In his hand was a flower, and what a 39 sight, with its petals（花瓣） all worn－not enough rain, or too little light. 40 him to take his dead flower and go off to play, I 41 a small smile and then shifted away. But instead of 42 he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with 43 , “It sure smells pretty and it’s beautiful, too. That’s why I 44 it; here, it’s for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I 45 take it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and 46 , “Just what I need.” But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he 47 it mid－air without reason. It was then that I 48 for the very first time the boy was 49 .
I heard my voice shake, tears shone like the sun 50 I thanked him for picking the very best one. He smiled, and then ran off to play, 51 of the effect he’d had on my day.
I sat there and 52 how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he know of my self-indulged(放縱的) 53 ? Perhaps from his heart, he'd been blessed with true 54 .
55 the eyes of a blind child, at last I could see, the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been blind, I vowed to see beauty, and appreciate every second that's mine.

生活中不是缺少美，而是缺少發(fā)現(xiàn)美的眼睛；生活中不是缺少快樂，而是缺少感受快樂的心。如果雙目失明，我們是不是一定不快樂？如果健健康康，我們是不是一定快樂？它再一次告訴我們，快樂在心。情緒低落的作者因生活不順而不能自拔。一位可愛的小男孩失明，卻能看到美麗的花朵，聞到芬芳，這讓作者深有感觸……
36. 因生活受挫，作者心情不好—I was down. 對生活不滿意。Be contented with 對…滿意
37. 作者并不認識的一小男孩向我走過來。從out of breath, tired可以知道。
38. 小男孩興奮地對我講。say 強調(diào)說話內(nèi)容；tell 表示“告訴”，要接賓語 inform要接sb of sth ; talk 表示雙向的談話。
39. 從下文all worn－not enough rain, or too little light可以看出。其余選項不符。
40. 作者并沒有心情講話，只想讓男孩走開不要打擾她。
41. 作者無心看那凋謝的花，只好強裝出笑臉，移到另外一個位置。
42. 由下文男孩仍然sit next to me 可知，他并沒有離開。
43. 男孩驚喜地說道，：“這花聞起來很香，肯定很漂亮”
44. 這就是他采摘花的原因。
45. 由于男孩不離開，反而積極向我獻花，作者知道男孩的意思——自己一定要接受這花的饋贈。
46. 作者只好回應(yīng)的男孩的話。
47. 從下文mid-air可以知道，男孩是把花舉在空中的。
48. 正是男孩高舉的這一動作，才讓作者注意到他卻是一個盲人。notice無意察覺到，observe是帶有某一目的觀察。confirm是對所預(yù)測事情的證實和確認，conclude是從某事論述中得出結(jié)論。
49. 最后一段第一句也有提示。
50. 作者知道男孩的真相后，心理感觸萬分——在感謝他時，聲音都在顫抖。
51. 男孩心理只想到這美麗而散發(fā)著香味的花應(yīng)該與人分享，而并未意識到這對對于情緒低落的作者的影響有多大。都不可以與of搭配；小男孩并沒在意其行為對我的影響，所以regardless of也排除。
52. 男孩失明卻能‘看到’美麗的花朵，卻能與一個情緒低落的人分享，這確實讓作者感到詫異而又想弄個明白。
53. 男孩又是如何知道我陷于低迷的痛苦呢？這都是讓作者納悶的事。embarrassment尷尬；作者還沒有痛苦到絕望的地步，排除hopelessness；effort用在這不合意思。
54. 男孩失明，卻看到美麗�；蛟S這正是上天恩賜于他的真正的視力吧。
55. 正是通過男孩的眼睛，我才得以看到問題的根源并不是客觀事物本身，而是自己的心靈。In the eyes of 在某人看來， from 從眼睛本身, 作者不是從男子的眼睛里看到，而是通過男孩看待事物的做法得到感悟。Before 不合題意。

Three Boys and a Dad
Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”
Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（節(jié)拍）. Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.
Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.
By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad Realized that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.
At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.
【小題1】When his wife left home, Brad expected to ______ .
| A．go out for a walk in the park. | B．watch TV talk show with his children. |
| C．enjoy his first day off work. | D．read the newspaper to his children. |
| A．Drawing on the wall. | B．Eating apple jam. |
| C．Feeding the fish. | D．Reading in a room. |
| A．Because he wanted to clean up his house. |
| B．Because he suddenly had to go to his office. |
| C．Because he found it hard to manage his boys home. |
| D．Because he had to take his wife back. |
| A．by space. | B．by comparison. | C．by process. | D．by time. |

Glacier National Park in Montana shares boundaries with Canada, an American Indian reservation, and a national forest. Along the North Fork of the Flathead River, the park also borders about 17,000 acres of private lands that are currently used for ranching, timber, and agriculture. This land is an important part of the habitat and migratory routes for several endangered species that frequent the park. These private lands are essentially the only ones available for development in the region.?
With encouragement from the park, local landowners initiated a land?use planning effort to guide the future of the North Fork. The park is a partner in an interlocal agreement that calls for resource?managing agencies to work together and with the more than 400 private owners in the area. A draft plan has been prepared, with objective of maintaining traditional economic uses but limiting new development that would damage park resources. Voluntary action by landowners, in cooperation with the park and the county, is helping to restrict small?lot subdivisions, maintain wildlife corridors, and minimize any harmful impact on the environment.?

Disneyland may look like a straightforward theme park. But there’s a secret world hidden behind the balloons, castles and cotton candy — a place where wild cats wander at midnight, Mickey Mouse hides in the wallpaper, and movie stars drink martinis behind closed doors.
Cat security — It’s not easy keeping the ground of Disneyland spotless, as well as free of unwanted pests. Every night after closing time, 200 wild cats were freed into the park to help keep the rodent（嚙齒）population under control. Though Disney doesn’t comment on the matter, rumor（傳聞）has it that the cat taskforce dates back to 1957. After unsuccessful attempts to chase them out of the park, Disney decided to put the cats to work instead.
Hidden Mickeys—At Disneyland the round-eared Mickey Mouse image is everywhere. But you can also see hundreds of “Hidden Mickeys” across the park, which are very difficult to spot: they’re camouflage （偽裝）in the architecture and landscaping as well as in the smallest stylistic details.
Cocktail（雞尾酒）behind closed doors—Disney is dry unless you can manage to get your name on the list at Club 33. The secret cocktail club has a limited membership of just 487 and a waiting list of approximately 14 years. Walt Disney designed the club as a special space to entertain possible investors; since then, it has hosted US presidents, film stars and foreign guests.
Always on stage—At Disneyland, a doorman isn’t a doorman, he is a “cast member”. So are the large numbers of cashiers, painters, ride operators, gardeners and performers. All “cast members” are trained to follow a specific rule that helps preserve the Disney magic. On the list of dos and don’ts? Never break character. If wearing a costume that belongs in Fantasyland, don’t set foot in Tomorrowland—it might Confuse visitors or break the park’s orderly image. Cast members have a Disney “l(fā)ook book” that details the fresh-faced ideal—no long fingernails, beards, or unnaturally colored hair allowed. It’s a return to Walt Disney’s All-American standards: when the park opened even guests with facial hair weren’t allowed entrance.
1.The reason why there are many wild cats in Disneyland is that ________.
A. they’re in charge of the cleaning of the park
B. they’re allowed to act as cleaners and guards
C. they have to keep watch in the daytime
D. they have a comfortable house to live in
2.From the passage we can know that in Disneyland “Hidden Mickeys” are _________.
A. small B. obvious C. everywhere D. dishonest
3.What do the underlined Words “Disney is dry” in paragraph 4 mean?
A. It’s easy to join the Club 33. B. The ground keeps dry.
C. It doesn’t often rain. D. Drinking alcohol is forbidden.
4. From the last paragraph, we can know the workers in Disneyland _______.
A. must know the dos and don’t
B. needn’t have their facial hair shaved
C. can wear unnaturally colored hair
D. mustn’t get in Tomorrowland
