Two men, Alan and Henry, both seriously ill, shared a hospital room. Alan was allowed to sit up in his bed and his bed was next to the room’s only window. Henry had to spend all his time flat on his back.
The men talked for hours, of their wives, families, their homes and their jobs. And every afternoon when Alan, in the bed next to the window, could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Lovers walked arm in arm among flowers. Trees and skyline could be seen in the distance. As he described all this, Henry, on the other side of the room, would close his eyes and imagine the scene.
One warm afternoon Alan described a parade (游行) passing by. Although Henry could not hear the band, he could see it in his mind. Unexpectedly, an alien though: entered his head: why should he have all the pleasure of seeing everything while I never got to see anything? It doesn’t seem fair. Henry felt ashamed at first. But as the days passed and he missed seeing more sight, his envy grew and soon let him down. He began to find himself unable to sleep. He should be by that window ---- and that thought now controlled his life.
Late one night, as he lay staring at the ceiling. Alan began to cough. He was choking. Henry watched in the dim room as the struggling man tried hard to reach for the button to call for help. Listening from across the room, he never moved, never pushed his own button which would have brought the nurse running. In less than five minutes, the coughing and choking stopped, along with the sound of breathing. Now, there was only silence ---- deathly silence.
As soon as it seemed appropriate, Henry asked if he could be moved next to the window. The nurse was happy to make the switch and after making sure he was comfortable, she left him alone.
Slowly, painfully, he struggled to take his first look. Finally, he would have the joy of seeing it all himself. He looked out, but faced a black wall.
【小题1】Judging from the passenger, the meaning of the underlined word “alien” in Paragraph 3 is ______.

A.disappointing B.sudden C.new D.strange
【小题2】What finally happened to Alan?
A.He was moved to another room. B.He died.

     To some people, happiness is something to do with simplicity, and it is the ability to extract pleasure
from the simplest things-such as a peach stone (桃核). It is obvious that it has nothing to do with success.
     For Sir Henry Stewart, it was certainly successful. I remember some ten years ago when he was made King's Counsel, Amos and I went to congratulate him. We smiled happily; he merely looked as miserable
as though he'd received a punishment. He took his success as a child does his medicine. And not one of
his achievements brought even a sign of a smile to his tired eyes.
     I asked him one day what it was like to achieve all one's ambitions. He looked down at his roses and
went on watering them. Then he said, "The only value in achieving one's ambitions is that you then realize
that they are not worth achieving."
     Yesterday, I was passing his house and he called me, "Come and see, Jan. Look! I have done it at last! "There he was, holding a small box of earth in his hand. I observed three tiny shoots out of it.
     "And there were only three!" he said, his eyes laughing to heaven.
     "Three what?" I asked.
     "Peach stones," he replied."I've always wanted to make peach stones grow, even since I was a child,
when I used to take them home after a party, or as a man after a banquet. And I used to plant them, and
then forgot where I planted them.But now at last I have done it. I had only three stones, and three shoots," he counted.
     Then Sir Henry ran off, calling for his wife to come and see his achievement-his achievement of
simplicity.
1. From what fact could we see Sir Henry was successful?
A. He felt happy from the simplest things.
B. He was made King's Counsel.
C. He was able to make the peach stones shoot.
D. He didn't take his success seriously.
2. The author compares Sir Henry's attitude towards his success to a child's taking medicine________.
A. to show that Sir Henry felt miserable when he was promoted
B. to prove that Sir Henry didn't want to be successful
C. to suggest that Sir Henry's future job would be hard to do
D. to tell us that Sir Henry took his success as a tiny thing in his life
3. According to Sir Henry Stewart, the value in achieving one's ambitions is________.
A. that he discovers it valueless
B. that he finds it worth his efforts
C. that he has achieved it
D. that he fails to realize it
4. The writer's opinion about Sir Henry's attitude towards success is________.
A. criticism  
B. disapproval  
C. admiration  
D. tease
