23、   Once upon a time, a king offered a prize to the artist who could paint the best picture of peace. The king received thousands of paintings from many artists. He studied each one carefully and finally decided upon two that he really liked. He now had to choose between them.

The first was a painting of a beautiful calm lake with clear water. It was surrounded by green forests and high mountains. Overhead, the sky was blue with white clouds.

The other painting had mountains too, but these mountains were rugged (崎岖的). A huge waterfall fell down one side of the mountain. Above them was an angry sky, lit by lightning, from which heavy rain fell.  

Most people agreed that the first painting clearly showed a place of perfect peace. However, when the king looked at the second painting more closely, he found a tiny bush growing behind the waterfall. There, in the small bush, a mother bird had built her nest. In the middle of the rush of angry water, in the wind and the noise, the mother bird sat still on her nest – in perfect peace.

The king chose the second painting. When asked why, he said: “Peace does not mean being in a place where there is no noise, trouble or hard work. Peace means being in the middle of all of these things and yet still being able to find calm and quiet in your heart, and to carry on with your life. This is the true meaning of peace.”

【1】According to the story, the first painting gave people a feeling of ______.

A. warmth B. anger C. noise D. quietness

【2】The second painting of the story expresses peace by ______.

A. describing B. comparing C. speaking D. watching

【3】Which of following describes the two paintings best?

A. The first painting had high mountains, but the second one had small ones.

B. It was sunny and the sky was blue with no clouds in the first painting.

C. In the second painting, a bird stayed calm in frightening surroundings.

D. In the second painting, the mother bird was frightened by the heavy rain.

【4】The king chose the second painting because ______.

A. it showed a new idea of peace

B. there was no noise in it

C. the artist worked hard on it

D. it was close to nature

【5】We can learn from the story that ______.

A. silence means peace

B. real peace means struggling against wild situations

C. real peace means keeping calm in difficult situations

D. peace only exists in your heart and in a quiet situation

24、   When you have trouble, are you brave e【1】 to face them? Or do you back away in fear? If you can't face your problems, you might want to read the book The Secret. The Secret is like life's guide book. It teaches us how to take life into our o【2】 hands with examples of successful people and their words. It tells us the secrets of success, health and a happy life.

The book shows us that our mind has more power t【3】 we realize. For example, if you keep thinking that you are very healthy, and believe it, you may become h【4】. Why? Think about it. Your ideas come f【5】 you, so they can lead you to act towards something you are looking for. I think the book teaches us that we should a【6】 be positive (乐观的).

We can also learn the importance of giving help, another “life secret”. According to (根据) the b【7】, being thankful can make us lucky, happy and healthy. If you don't know i【8】 importance, the people who helped you may not help you next time and n【9】 will make friends with you. It's hard to succeed when you are alone.

I think the book has changed me from being a negative (悲观的) person to being a positive one. Now, when I am in trouble, I can f【10】 it bravely and shout, “Come on, trouble! I can beat you! ”
