  Oh, the things that I should see if I had the power of sight for just three days!

  The first day would be a busy one.I should call to me all my dear friends and look long into their faces, imprinting(铭记)upon my mind the outward evidences of the beauty that is within them, I should let my eyes rest, too, on the face of a baby, so that I could catch a vision of the eager, innocent beauty which precedes the individual's consciousness of the conflicts which life develops.

  And I should like to look into the loyal, trusting eyes of my dogs-the serious, clever little Scottie, Darkie, and the strong, understanding Great Dane, Helga, whose warm, tender, and playful friendships are so comforting to me.

  On that busy first day I should also view the small simple things of my home.I want to see the warm colors in the carpets under my feet, the pictures on the walls, the lovely small furniture that transforms a house into home.My eyes would rest respectfully on the books in dot-raised type which I have read, but they would be more eagerly interested in the printed books which seeing people can read, for during the long night of my life the books I have read and those which have been read to me have built themselves into a great shining lighthouse, showing me the deepest channels of human life and the human spirit.

  In the afternoon of that first seeing day, I should take a long walk in the woods and intoxicate(使陶醉)my eyes on the beauties of the world of Nature trying desperately to absorb in a few hours the vast brilliance which is presenting itself to those who can see.On the way home from my woodland trip, my path would lie close to a farm so that I might see the patient horses ploughing in the field and the peaceful content of men living close to the soil.And I should pray for the glory of a colorful sunset.

  When dusk had fallen, I should experience the double delight of being able to see by artificial light which the genius of man has created to extend the power of his sight when Nature brings darkness.

  In the night of that first day of sight, I should not be able to sleep, so full would be my mind of the memories of the day!

  (by Helen Keller)

When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a “wolf”. But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness?

Have you read the book “The Wolf Totem” by a famous writer Jiang Rong, which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever   41  the wolves' world? If you had, you would  42  the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about   43 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to   44  full use of the shape of land to   45  sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be  46  experts good at fighting.

The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand  47 .Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A  48  wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves   49  nothing. All the wolves obey the rules.  50  they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork   51  makes wolves powerful.

The wolves also have great self respect and won't  52  to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book “The Wolf Totem”,  53  stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his  54 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with   55  wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was   56  and he never gave in, fighting  57  his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter.

I was shocked by this kind of  58  wolves are one of the most respected creatures on the earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a  59  way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and  60  in this not simple but dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature!

  Nearly everyone agrees that money doesn't buy as much as it used to, no matter where you want to spend it. This is certainly true of the paper money that passes so quickly through one's hands. Inflation (通货膨胀) eats away at its buying power just as the steady appetite of waves chews at sand cliffs. But what about coins that seem to do very little except make purses and pockets untidy? Unlike notes, metal money becomes more valuable the longer it is held, especially if it is put away where it won't get scratched or worn. Why is this? One reason is that coins, being more durable (耐用的), fall more readily into a category for collections. Naturally, the rarer gold pieces must become more valuable as the price of this metal goes up.

    But, curiously, one of the rarest coins in the world is not made of gold, but of the relatively cheaper silver. In 1840, the United States mint struck 19, 570 silver dollars. That is what its records show. Today only six of this original number remain and these are unlikely ever to the auction market. So what happened to some 19, 564 large silver coins, not the easiest sort of things to lose? One of the more romantic theories is that they were part of the payment to Napoleon for the American territory then known as Louisiana. But they never reached France. Somewhere in the Gulf of Mexico, the ship transporting them was sunk, either by a storm or by pirates. The probable answer to the mystery is that they were melted down—since the silver value was greater than the actual value of the coin. What really happened to the rest will probably always remain a mystery. What .is known is that whoever can come up with one will find himself instantly rich.

   1. It can be inferred from the passage that——.

      A. money buys as much as it did before

      B. money does not buy as much as it did before

      C. paper money buys more than metal money

      D. metal money buys more than paper money

   2. Which of the following is true of a coin?

      A. The longer it is held, the less valuable it becomes.

      B. The more it wears out, the more valuable it becomes.

      C. The less it gets scratched, the less it values.

      D. The longer it lasts, the more it values.

   3. Coins becomes more valuable because

      A. they make purses and pockets untidy

      B. the price of metal goes up

      C. they fall more readily into a category for collections due to their duration

      D. both B and C

   4. What really happened to some 19, 564 large silver coins?

      A. They were melted down.     B. They were sunk in the Gulf of Mexico.

      C. It is still mystery.             D. They were stolen by pirates.
