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（倾斜的） 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(放纵的) 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，而是缺少发现美的眼睛；生活中不是缺少快乐，而是缺少感受快乐的心。如果双目失明，我们是不是一定不快乐？如果健健康康，我们是不是一定快乐？它再一次告诉我们，快乐在心。情绪低落的作者因生活不顺而不能自拔。一位可爱的小男孩失明，却能看到美丽的花朵，闻到芬芳，这让作者深有感触……
36. 因生活受挫，作者心情不好—I was down. 对生活不满意。Be contented with 对…满意
37. 作者并不认识的一小男孩向我走过来。从out of breath, tired可以知道。
38. 小男孩兴奋地对我讲。say 强调说话内容；tell 表示“告诉”，要接宾语 inform要接sb of sth ; talk 表示双向的谈话。
39. 从下文all worn－not enough rain, or too little light可以看出。其余选项不符。
40. 作者并没有心情讲话，只想让男孩走开不要打扰她。
41. 作者无心看那凋谢的花，只好强装出笑脸，移到另外一个位置。
42. 由下文男孩仍然sit next to me 可知，他并没有离开。
43. 男孩惊喜地说道，：“这花闻起来很香，肯定很漂亮”
44. 这就是他采摘花的原因。
45. 由于男孩不离开，反而积极向我献花，作者知道男孩的意思——自己一定要接受这花的馈赠。
46. 作者只好回应的男孩的话。
47. 从下文mid-air可以知道，男孩是把花举在空中的。
48. 正是男孩高举的这一动作，才让作者注意到他却是一个盲人。notice无意察觉到，observe是带有某一目的观察。confirm是对所预测事情的证实和确认，conclude是从某事论述中得出结论。
49. 最后一段第一句也有提示。
50. 作者知道男孩的真相后，心理感触万分——在感谢他时，声音都在颤抖。
51. 男孩心理只想到这美丽而散发着香味的花应该与人分享，而并未意识到这对对于情绪低落的作者的影响有多大。都不可以与of搭配；小男孩并没在意其行为对我的影响，所以regardless of也排除。
52. 男孩失明却能‘看到’美丽的花朵，却能与一个情绪低落的人分享，这确实让作者感到诧异而又想弄个明白。
53. 男孩又是如何知道我陷于低迷的痛苦呢？这都是让作者纳闷的事。embarrassment尴尬；作者还没有痛苦到绝望的地步，排除hopelessness；effort用在这不合意思。
54. 男孩失明，却看到美丽。或许这正是上天恩赐于他的真正的视力吧。
55. 正是通过男孩的眼睛，我才得以看到问题的根源并不是客观事物本身，而是自己的心灵。In the eyes of 在某人看来， from 从眼睛本身, 作者不是从男子的眼睛里看到，而是通过男孩看待事物的做法得到感悟。Before 不合题意。

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（节拍）. 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.
【小题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（啮齿）population under control. Though Disney doesn’t comment on the matter, rumor（传闻）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 （伪装）in the architecture and landscaping as well as in the smallest stylistic details.
Cocktail（鸡尾酒）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 “look 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
