There was once an old wise man living on the top of a mountain. Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice.

One day a young man arrived. “Wise man,” he asked, “What makes a man truly great?”

The old man said, “Do you sincerely want to know?”

“Yes, yes!” the young man replied.

“Well,” the wise old man said to him, “Let me tell you in the form of a story.”

There was once a Greek man who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he would die soon, he was the first to join the army when his country was in a battle with the enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight in the front line, risking himself without any worry for his life. Finally they won the battle and he was still alive. His general (将军) was so impressed with his bravery which contributed much to the victory.

The general decided to promote him and award him with medals of bravery and honor. On the day of presentation (授予仪式), he was looking very down and sad. Curiously, the general asked him why he was so sad on a day he should be so proud. The soldier told him of his deadly disease. “How could I let such a brave soldier die?” the general thought. So the general hired the best physician and finally cured the soldier. But from that day on, the once valiant soldier was no longer seen at the front. He would always avoid danger and tried his best to protect his life.

“Young man,” the wise man said, “if you want to be truly great, you must not be afraid of dying, you must be daring.”

2.The general decided to award the Greek man .

A. after he realized the man’s serious illness

D. so that he could find the man a good doctor

3.The underlined word “valiant” is closest in meaning to .

A. brave B. polite C. curious D. proud

4.What the old man really wanted the young man to do was .

A. trying to be kind to the people in trouble

B. mastering the skills of telling

根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项,选项中有两项为多余选项。

Forgiveness

To forgive is a virtue, but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.

1. Try the following steps:

Calm yourself. 2. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.

Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 3. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.

Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.

4. If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.

Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 5. But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.

A. Try to see things from your offender’s angle.

B. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.

C. How should you start to forgive?

D. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.

E. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.

F. Why should you forgive?

G. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.

Tom studied in our middle school three years ago. Last August his father found a job in another city and his family moved there. He began to study in the new school and we often write to each other. He often tells me something about the city where he lives now and his studies in the school. So I can know what happens to him.

Last Friday Tom came to our city again. He hopes to accompany his old grandpa during the summer holiday. He's taller and stronger than before. We swim in the river outside the city together or have a picnic on the island. It surprises me that he has learned to cook when we were traveling in the wild forest. He told me his parents were both busy and sometimes he stayed at home alone and he had to look after himself.

“How do you like your school?” I asked.

“Wonderful,” said the young man. “It has a tall building and there're two chemistry labs, two biology labs and three physics ones. And its library is big and there're plenty of books in it.”

“I can see you are satisfied with it.”

“Yes,” he answered. “But our geography teacher often says to himself in class.”

“So does our new history teacher,” I said. “But he doesn't notice it. He often talks on and on in a flow of eloquence (口才). But none of us listens to him!”

Nearly 60 million visitors flooded to the 384 national parks across America every year. And you won’t have to wander far from home to enjoy one of these national treasures, with Michigan’s Isle Royale National Park nearby.

Located 56 miles from Copper Harbor on Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, the park remains a desolate area that can only be reached by tour boat. With the exception of the Rock Harbor Lodge, which offers both rooms with private baths and accommodations in the form of small cottages, the 572,000 acres that make up the 45-mile-long park are rough, threaded with hiking paths that lead to tents-only campsites. You are likely to see a deer crossing mist-covered ponds in search of breakfast, gaze bald eagles flying overhead, or hear a beaver(河狸) clapping its tail on the water. If you are especially lucky, you might even glimpse a grey wolf, nearly dying out from hunting on the mainland.

Plenty of hiking paths open the area to exploration. The 4-mile Stroll Path winds through various trees and offers a tour of the island’s history, including prehistoric Indian mines. The Jungle Path leads to Scoville Point——a perfect picnic spot surrounded on three sides by the shining waters of Lake Superior.

You can also rent a boat at the park’s service center and row down the shore to the Rock Harbor Lighthouse. Here park’s service employees use nets to show how lake fishes used to be caught by the original local people. Their catch ends up on the dinner menu at the Rock Harbor Lodge.

The park is open from mid-April through October; Rock Harbor Lodge is open from Memorial Day weekend until just after Labor Day.

1.The underlined phrase “a desolate area” in the 2nd paragraph probably means ________.

A. an undeveloped area

B. an inaccessible area

C. an area deserted by tourists

D. an area protected by government

2.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Indians used to hunt grey wolves to make a living.

B. Tourists can only visit the park by walking or hiking.

C. The number of grey wolves is smaller than that of deer.

D. Food provided by Rock Harbor Lodge is shipped from outside.

3.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Safety tips of the natural park.

B. Attractions of the natural park.

C. Tourist service of the natural park.

D. Environmental protection of the natural park.
