A
How often one hears children wishing they were grown-ups, and old people wishing they were
young again. Each age has its pleasures and its pains, and the happiest person is the one who
enjoys what each age gives him without wasting his time in useless regrets.
Childhood is a time when there are few responsibilities to make life difficult. If a child has
good parents, he is fed, looked after and loved, whatever he may do. It is impossible that he will
ever again in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return. In addition, life is
always presenting new things to the child----things that have lost their interest for older people
because they are too well-known. But a child has his pains: he is not so free to do what he wishes
to do; he is continually being told to do things, or being punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living, he can no longer expect others to pay for
his food, his clothes, and his room, but has to work if he wants to live comfortably. If he spends
most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child, he will go hungry. And if he
breaks the laws of society as he used to break the laws of his parents, he may go to prison. If,
however, he works hard, keeps out of trouble and has good health, he can have the great happiness
of building up for himself his own position in society.
1. After a child grows up, he______.
A. will have little time playing
B. has to be successful in finding a job
C. can still ask for help when in trouble
D. should be able to take care of himself
2. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People are often satisfied with their life
B. There are fewer interesting things for old people
C. Adults are freer to do what they want to
D. Adults should no longer rely on others
3. The main idea of the passage is_____.
A. life is not enjoyable since each age has some pains.
B. young men can have the greatest happiness if they work hard
C. childhood is the most enjoyable time in one’s life
D. one is the happiest if he can make good use of each age in his life.
B
All of us have read thrilling stories in which the hero had only a limited and specified time to
live. Sometimes it was as long as a year; sometimes as short as twenty-four hours, but always we
were interested in discovering just how the doomed （注定要死的）man chose to spend his last
days or his last hours.
Such stories set up thinking, wondering what we should do under similar circumstances.
What happiness should we find in reviewing the past, what regrets?
Sometimes, I have thought it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we should die
tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day
with a gentleness, a vigor（精力）, and a keenness of appreciation which are often lost when time
stretches before us in the constant repetition of more days and months and years to come.
Most of us take life for granted. We know that one day we must die, but usually we picture
that day as far in the future, when we are in pleasant health, death is all but unimaginable. We
seldom think of it. The days stretch out in an endless prospect. So we go about our little task,
hardly aware of our listless attitude towards life.
The same attitude, I am afraid, falls on the use of our abilities and senses. Only the deaf
appreciate hearing, only the blind realize the various blessings that lie in sight. Particularly does
this observation apply to those who have lost sight and hearing in adult life. But those who have
never suffered loss of sight of hearing seldom make the fullest use of these blessed abilities. Their
eyes and ears take in all sights and sound hazily, without concentration, and with little
appreciation. Seldom do people realize how good it is being in good health until they have fallen
ill. It is the same old story of not being grateful without missing.
4. When reading the thrilling stories, we usually ______.
A. have curiosity about the hero’s limited life B. show great interest in our own lives
C. find many regrets in reviewing the past D. have mercy on the doomed man
5. From the passage, we can learn that ______.
A. the author thinks it would be excellent to live if he should die the next day
B. the disabled are anxious to regain their abilities and senses
C. each of us should treasure what we have possessed today
D. many of us are able to make full use of our time
6. The underlined word “hazily” in the last paragraph probably means ______.
A. happily B. unclearly
C. freely D. enthusiastically
7. The best title for this passage may probably be ______.
A. Not Being Grateful without Missing B. Giving a Hand to the Disabled
C. Making Use of Abilities and Senses D. Learning from Thrilling Stories
美文欣赏
We Are on a Journey
Wherever you are, and whoever you may be, there is one thing in which you and I are just
alike at this moment, and in all the moments of our existence. We are not at rest; we are on a
journey. Our life is a movement, a tendency, ceaseless progress toward an unseen goal. We are
gaining something, or losing something, everyday. Even when our position and our character seem
to remain precisely the same, they are changing. For the mere advance of time is a change. It is not
the same thing to have a bare field in January and in July. The season makes the difference. The
limitations that are childlike in the children are childish in the man.
Everything that we do is a step in one direction or another. Even the failu re to do something
i s in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward. The action of the negative pole of a magnetic
needle is just as real as the action of the positive pole. To decline is to accept — the other
alternative.
Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday? Yes, — you must be a little
nearer to some port or other; for since your ship was first launched upon the sea of life, you have
never been still for a single moment; the sea is too deep, you could not find an anchorage if you
would; there can be no pause until you come into port.
