26、When I was in the third grade, we had a hunt at school. We gathered up chalk，pencils，stones, and so on, rapidly filling our checklists. It was a very close race. I was out of breath when I reachedthe clover (三叶草)patch in search of the last, most hard-to-find item: afour-leaf clover.

I was pretty sure that I was going to win. 1 have always been able to find four-leaf clovers. I just see them.

I spent my childhood collecting and pressing four-leaf clovers into books at my mother's house. I started with big cloth- and leather-bound books. When I ran out of romantically bound volumes, I began to put my treasures into anything I could find: fiction paperbacks, cookbooks. The same is true in my house today. Shake a book, and a papery treasure just might fall into your hand.

A few years ago, in Nova Scotia, my husband and I pulled off the road for a picnic. The ground was thick with clover. Some shoots had four, five, even six leaves. I lined them up on the picnic table to admire as my husband, never yet having found one four-leaf clover, looked on with awe. To me, it was simple. The differences in their shapes popped out, breaking the pretty pattern of the conventional clovers with their three perfect leaves.

Two summers back, while waiting for an airport shuttle in Munich, I found a tiny four-leaf clover in a traffic circle and put it into my passport. On the way home, my husband and I were upgraded to business class. Friends attributed our good luck to the clover. I think, it's more likely that we were upgraded because a kind customer service officer took pity on us.

People disagree about whether the luck lies in the finding or in the possession of a clover. Some believe that the luck is lost if the four-leaf clover is even shown to somebody else, while others think the luck doubles if it is given away. I believe that positivity is increased by sharing. I feel lucky to find the clovers so often, but I don't think they influence my life any more than it does to share anything a little special—that momentary closeness between you and a friend or a stranger, as you all lean in to wonder at a rare find.

【1】Why can the author notice four-leaf clovers so easily?

A．She always has good luck.

B．She has a special gift for plants.

C．She practiced a lot in her childhood.

D．She can tell the pattern differences.

【2】How does the author deal with her four-leaf clovers?

A．She often gives them away.

B．She leaves them everywhere.

C．She treats them with special love.

D．She admires them with her husband.

【3】How does the author understand luck and clovers?

A．Closeness brought by clovers really counts.

B．Clovers will influence one's good luck a lot.

C．C Good luck means finding or owning a clover.

D．Good luck may double if you give clovers away.

【4】What may be the best title for the passage?

A．Hunting clovers

B．Sharing clovers

C．Not for luck

D．Just for luck

28、Country Walks

Hope village

A leisurely (悠闲的) way to spend an hour or two is by visiting the busy village of Hope with its lovely country gardens. A gentle walk towards the hills will soon bring you to excellent views.

Country Park

The Lime House here attracts thousands of visitors, but this is a pleasant walk away from the crowds, through parkland, woods and up onto the hills. Popular with bird-watchers. Allow three hours. The house was built in 1570.

Cornford

This is an easy walk through a little-known valley. See the 200-year-old buildings from the cloth-making industry which now stand empty.

Howden lake

This two-hour walk attracts thousands of visitors. Children can go sailing on the lake with trainers.

Strines

You need to be used to walking to successfully complete this seven-hour walk through the wildest scenery in the area. Follow a little-known footpath to the highest point for miles.
