    True love and kindness is needed in this world. It comes from appreciating the object, and rejoicing in the object, wanting the object to be happy and well, but holding it lightly, not tightly. And this goes for possessions too. You are in an extremely materialistic society in which the possession of more and bigger and better is held up as the total criteria(标准) for being happy.

    What we own is not the problem; it’s our attitude towards our possessions. If we have something and we enjoy it, that’s fine. If we lose it, then that’s OK. But if we lose it and we are very attached to it in our heart, then that’s not fine. It doesn’t matter what the object is, because it’s not the object which is the problem. The problem is our own inner grasping mind that keeps us bound to the wheel, and keeps us suffering. If our mind was open and could just let thing flow naturally, there would be no pain. Do you understand? We need our everyday life to work on this, to really begin to see the greed of attachment in the mind and gradually begin to lessen and lessen it.

    There is a famous story of a coconut, which is said to be used in India to catch monkeys. People take a coconut and make a little hole just big enough for a monkey to put its paw through. And inside the coconut, which is nailed to a tree, they have put something sweet. So the monkey comes along, sees the coconut, smells something nice inside, and he puts his hand in. he catches hold of the sweet inside, so now he has a fist. But the hole is too small for the fist to get out. When the hunters come back, the monkey is caught. But of course, all the monkey has to do is let go. Nobody’s holding the monkey except the monkey’s grasping greedy mind. Nobody is holding us on the wheel; we are clinging to it ourselves. There are no chains.

    1.Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

        A. Clinging Causes the Pain             B. Don’t Learn from the Monkey

        C. Giving Up is Holding             D. Possessions are Pains

    2.According to the first paragraph, which of the following statements is true?

        A. The world now is lacking in true love.

        B. Owning more means being happier in today’s society.

        C. Today’s society is very realistic.         

    D. The society needs better criteria.

    3.According to the passage, the monkey is caught because      .

        A. the hunter is cleverer than the monkey  

    B. the monkey wants to eat the sweet

        C. the hole is too small for the monkey’s fist

        D. the monkey doesn’t know giving up

    4.Why did the author tell the story of the monkey?

       A. Because he liked monkeys very much.

       B. Because the story is very interesting.

       C. Because he wants to explain the idea further.

       D. Because he wants to make the passage attractive.

    A metaphor is a poetic device that deals with comparison. It compares similar qualities of two dissimilar objects. With a simple metaphor, one object becomes the other: Love is a rose. Although this does not sound like a particularly rich image, a metaphor can communicate so much about a particular image that poets use them more than any other type of figurative language(修辞). The reason for this is that poets compose their poetry to express what they are experiencing emotionally at that moment. Consequently, what the poet imagines love to be may or may not be love we see it. Therefore, the poet’s job is to enable us to experience it, to feel it the same way as the poet does.
    Let’s analyze this remarkably unsophisticated metaphor concerning love and the rose to see what it offers. Because the poet uses a comparison with a rose, first we must examine the characteristics of that flower. A rose is spectacular in its beauty; its petals(花瓣) are nicely soft, and its smell is pleasing. It’s possible to say that a rose is actually a feast to the senses of sight, touch, and smell. The rose’s appearance seems to border on(近似于)perfection, each petal seemingly symmetrical(对称的) in form. Isn’t this the way one’s love should be? A loved one should be a delight to one’s senses and seem perfect. However, there is another dimension added to the comparison by using a rose. Roses have thorns(刺). The poet wants to convey the idea that roses can be tricky(机警的). So can love, the metaphor tells us. When one reaches out with absolute trust to touch the object of his or her affection, ouch, a thorn can cause great harm! “Be careful,” the metaphor warns: Love is a feast to the senses, but it can overwhelm us, and it can also hurt us and cause acute suffering. This is the poet’s perception of love--a warning. What is the point? Just this: It took almost 14 sentences to clarify what a simple metaphor communicates in only four words! That is the artistry and the joy of the simple metaphor.
    【小题1】According to the passage, what is a metaphor?

    A．A comparison between two different objects with similar features.
    B．A contrast between two different things to create a vivid image.
    C．A description of two similar objects in a poetic way.
    D．A literary device specially employed in poetry writing.
    【小题2】 The main idea of this passage is that         .
    A．rose is a good image in poetryB．love is sweet and pleasing
    C．metaphor is ambiguousD．metaphor is great poetic device
    【小题3】 It can be inferred from the passage that a metaphor is        .
    A．difficult to understandB．rich in meaningC．not precise enoughD．like a flower
    【小题4】 As is meant by the author, thorns of a rose_________.
    A．protect the rose from harmB．symbolize reduced love
    C．add a new element to the image of loveD．represent objects of one’s affection
    【小题5】 The meaning of the love-is–a-rose metaphor is that____________-
    A．love is a true joyB．true love comes once in a lifetime
    C．love does not last long D．love is both good and bad experiences

    My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself. Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip.

    On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.

    In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil warm and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.

    When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.

    I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.

    1.Where has the doctor been in the past few years?

       A. Some countries where he could set up clinics.

       B. Some African countries where flu broke out.

       C. The places where the earthquakes happened.

       D. The places that the horrible disasters struck.

    2.How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?

         A. Tired and troublesome.

         B. Busy and risky.

         C. Meaningful and helpful

         D. Frightening and depressing.

    3.The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.

       A. who are robbed, killed, or wounded

       B. who suffer from flu in movable clinics

       C. who like to take adventures

       D. who have lost homes because of disasters.

    4.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

       A. the doctor’s wife encouraged him to work in foreign countries.

         B. What the doctor said to his wife before her death became reality.

         C. The doctor’s adventures made him understand the love of his wife.

         D. With the true love of his wife, the doctor started to change his life.
