    For years my husband, John, and I had dreamed of taking our three kids to Disney World．We'd planned our trip down to the last detail and dollar．But in Georgia, halfway there, our car broke down．
    At a garage, the mechanic promised our Mercury Sable would be repaired by the next week．Meanwhile, John tried to find us a rental car．After many phone calls, John finally found a car．Luckily, our auto club would pick up the tab．We ended up arriving there three hours behind schedule．We tried every ride and met Mickey．
    At the end of the long weekend we called the garage to check on our car．It turned out that the mechanic hadn't even looked at it yet! John got on the phone again．He found it would cost more than $ l, 100 to rent a car to drive home．That plus a plane ticket for him to go pick up our own car and we'd be out over $2,000!
    I wailed（痛哭） and asked John, "What are we going to do?"  He said, "It'll work out．" John encouraged me not to lose heart and he insisted on trying to find a way out．Amazingly, John found a car transport company that had a car we could drive home, paying only for gas! But all the way home I couldn't stop thinking about the money we'd still need for John's trip back to the garage and another long driving home．
    When we got home, the high school student who had fed our cats asked how our trip was．I gave him the rundown, "Things worked out okay except that our car's still stuck in Georgia．" "No problem," he said．"I'm heading to Florida for a spring break with my parents．We'll be glad to stop in Georgia on the way back and pick up your car．"
    We ended up spending only $50 more than we'd budgeted．The next week, our car was back, and I had a new understanding of dealing with trouble．Whatever happens, if you never give up, a good solution will come out at last．

    There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book   36  hand. Of course, we may   37  with our guide-books the history and   38  developments of a town and get to know them.   39  then, if we take out time and  40  in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we   41  it as a whole, we begin to have some   42  ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just  43  this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets   44   in this particular way, and not in any   45  way?
    Here even the best guide-book   46  us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the   47  appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的)   48  of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it   49  look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine   50  the town was first planned and built . Then one can learn more about in what direction the town   51  to develop.
    What is the   52  of studying towns in the way? For me, it is   53  that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A   54  visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive   55  just reading about it in a guide-book.

    After we finished thirteen miles of hiking, we were tired and our muscles ached as we made our way back to New England. The car ride to the airport followed by a two-hour flight left our legs more worse condition than they were when we first came off the mountain we just climbed.
    When we heard that two seats in first class on our next flight were available for a bit higher price, we jumped at the opportunity. Our spirits lifted immediately. After all, flying first class was a new experience for us, and we would end our adventure in comfort and style.
    As we boarded the plane, we noticed that the stewardess(空姐) was working non-stop to ensure the comfort of the first class passengers. She could not walk by a seat without receiving an order. How much she must love her job! She smiled kindly at each one while attending to their needs.
    As the stewardess walked by our seats near the end of the flight, I looked at her and said, “Thank you and I hope you have a great night.” She stopped, bent down, looked at me and said, “Excuse me.” I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather funny way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she did not know how to answer.
    After a few moments she returned to our seats. “I can tell you work with the public,” she said. “Why do you think so?” I asked. She answered very quietly, “Because you are the only passenger here to say something nice to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness.”
    The sense of belonging to the elite(精英) group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her words. Our first class seats offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were reminded that without kindness, we would be flying in no class.
    小题1:Where did the writer ever go hiking?
    A．In a forestB．In a mountainC．Along a riverD．Near an airport
    小题2:Why did they choose to take a first class flight?
    A．Because they were extremely tired
    B．Because they wanted to go back as soon as possible
    C．Because the tickets were cheaper
    D．Because they wanted to enjoy the first class service.
    小题3:After boarding the plane, the writer felt_______.
    A．proudB．uncomfortableC．nervousD．disappointed
    小题4:When the stewardess first heard what the writer said, she_________.
    A．didn’t understand the writerB．knew what work the writer did
    C．didn’t believe her earsD．had a big smile on her face

    Begin doing the work you love as soon as possible, even if you don’t get paid for it, or if you can only work at it part-time. Albert Einstein was unable to get a job as a physics professor. He could have said to himself, “Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for something else.” Instead, he wrote the two most famous papers when he was employed as a patent  clerk. After their publication, there was not a major university in the world that would not have been glad to have him on their staff.
    If you want to work as an artist and you are making a living as a waiter, don’t think of yourself as a waiter who hopes one day to become an artist. That puts the work you love somewhere off in the distant future. Rather, think of yourself as an artist, supporting yourself by waiter tables—and paint, or draw as much as you can. It is possible to earn a living wage as a waiter working 24 hours a week. That leaves plenty of time to devote to training or developing your craft（手艺）in the off hours.
    While seeking the work you love, it helps to expand your awareness  into the universe of all possibilities. You don’t want to be limited to the ideas of what you should do or what you have done before. Having opened to all possibilities, you can make a final decision and select the work you love as your own.
    Doing the work you love requires that you be equally comfortable with the imaginative and the practical. It requires the ability to dream big dreams and the ability to face and master all the little details that make dreams come true.
    小题1:According to the passage, perhaps Einstein once said to himself, “_______.”
    A．Well, I just don’t have the work relative to physics. I should give up on it and settle for
    something else
    B．The job is just what I want, I should work very hard at it
    C．I have to support myself by working as a patent clerk now, but I won’t give physics up
    D．I must wait until I find my favorite job
    小题2:If a person works 24 hours a week, he can________.
    A．have enough spare time for his hobbies
    B．have no time left to make his dream come true
    C．do nothing else
    D．make a good living
    小题3:Which of the following is not implied in the last paragraph?
    A．Sometimes the imaginative is different from the practical.
    B．We have to take care of a lot of details before we make our dreams come true.
    C．We shall do practical things rather than dream.
    D．We shall dream big dreams and practice as well.
    小题4:According to the passage, the author encourages us to ________.
    A．start work quickly B．select job carefully and patiently
    C．dream oftenD．make up our minds quickly

    In bringing up children, every parent watches eagerly the child’s acquisition（学会）of each new skill — the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing. It is common that parents hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child. This might happen at any stage. A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early, and a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads. On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural enthusiasm（热情） for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
    Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children. Some may be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality（准时）for meals. In general, the controls imposed（强加的）represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community（社区）as much as the child’s own happiness.
    As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching. To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.  Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept”. If they are not sincere and do not practice what they preach（说教）, their children may grow confused, and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
    A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents’ principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
    小题1:Eagerly watching the child’s acquisition of new skills _____.
    A．should be avoided
    B．is universal among parents
    C．sets up dangerous states of worry in the child
    D．will make him lose interest in learning new things
    小题2: When children are learning new skills, parents should _____.
    A．achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
    B．not expect too much of them
    C．encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
    D．create as many learning opportunities as possible
    小题3:The second paragraph mainly tells us that _____.
    A．parental restrictions vary, and are not always enforced for the benefit of the children alone
    B．parental controls satisfy only the needs of the parents and the values of the community
    C．parents should be strict with their children
    D．parents vary in their strictness towards their children according to the situation
    小题4:The underlined word “precept” （in Paragraph 3） probably means “_____”.
    A．ideaB．punishmentC．instructionD．behaviour
    小题5:In moral matters, parents should _____.
    A．satisfy their children’s needs
    B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
    C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
    D．observe（遵守，奉行） the rules themselves

    There are many fun, free activities that you can do as a family. All that is required is a bit of imagination and some time set aside for fun. And the best part is that these are the kind of memories a child will remember for a lifetime.
    Family game night
    Find out any of the games that are already around the house. Kids often get computer games for Christmas or birthdays, and would love to have a chance to play with their family. Or, make up some games of your own. “Charades” is a fun game to play that will challenge a child to use his/her imagination. Divide the family into teams and let each team come up with words that the other has to act out.
    ________________________
    Pick some time for the family to sit down and come up with their own masterpiece. It doesn’t need to be just a drawing -- take some old magazines sitting around the house, let the kids cut out pictures and paste them into their own montage. Or, use items from nature. Let them use leaves, pine cones, twigs and whatever else they can find to create something from their imaginations.
    Family Picnic
    Taking the family for a picnic is a great way for some fun that doesn’t cost any money. If the weather is nice, take them to a park or playground and let the kids have a day of playing. Or, if it is the middle of winter and a foot of snow is on the ground, set up a picnic in the living room.
    Family Field Trip
    A family field trip doesn’t have to cost a dime. Ask a nearby farm if it would be alright to bring your kids out for a tour and to see some of the animals. Or take them to a park and make a scavenger hunt where they need to find certain items from nature. Ask a local business if you could bring the family for a tour to see how things work -- you might be surprised at the number of people who would be thrilled to share what they do with others, and it could be an interesting lesson for the kids.
    小题1:We can learn from the passage that “charades” ________.
    A．is a computer gameB．is too difficult for children
    C．involves acting out wordsD．should be played by more than four people
    小题2: What is the best title to be put in the blank of part two? ____________.
    A．Family art timeB．Family gardening time
    C．Family music timeD．Family cleaning time
    小题3:According to the passage, the family picnic____________.
    A．should be held in the middle of winter
    B．can be held inside your house
    C．will be very meaningful if held in offices
    D．will cost much money if held on a farm
    小题4:Who might be most interested in this passage? _________.
    A．ParentsB．TeachersC．Farmers D．Employers
    小题5:The writer wrote this passage mainly to _____________.
    A．encourage children to use imagination.
    B．share precious family memories
    C．discuss young children’s interests
    D．suggest fun activities to families
