24、   One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy, around two years old, running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison (监狱).The boy would then fall to the grass, get up, without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened.

At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even make a second attempt. They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good excuse for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure (失败).

However, with kids, when they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure, instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try again and again until they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". What's more, they probably think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make mistakes, so they remain energetic.

I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.

【1】What did the little boy do when he fell down?

A.He cried and lay on the grass. B.He asked his mother for help.

C.He got up and went on running. D.He got up and stood there crying.

【2】In the writer's opinion, what might the little boy regard his falling down as?

A.A failure. B.A joke. C.An interesting game. D.A learning experience.

【3】In the writer's opinion, why can't many adults succeed?

A.Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.

B.Because they can't find a good excuse.

C.Because once they fail, they won't attempt again.

D.Because they don't allow themselves to make mistakes.

【4】The underlined word "attempt" in Paragraph 2 means ________.

A.facing B.doubting C.trying D.giving up .

【5】What does the writer want to tell us?

A.Practice makes perfect. B.Failure is the mother of success.

C.All roads lead to Rome. D.Each coin has two sides.

25、   Alone in the wilderness. Nothing but jungle. A word of shadow with the rays of light falling like blonde hair from the crowns of the giant trees. Jungle in the middy sun. Everything motionless. Not a sound from sky or earth. Complete silence. Only some coconuts falling, very far away. The world reduced to the soft touch of cool grass along my naked back, and a sweet smell of rich soil and vegetation. Lying with closed eyes beside my heavy fruit and firewood, I enjoyed the feeling of fresh blood streaming through every part of my body and fresh jungle air filling every corner of my body.

Resting motionless, I could see the sun through my closed eyelids, alone in the sky, as lonely as I, and as motionless and silent as everything else. The earth had surely stopped turning and somewhere on this planet there was supposed to be noisy traffic in busy streets. What a crazy, unbelievable thought!

Another coconut fell, to make the world come to a complete standstill. I had to roll over onto my stomach to feel that at least I could move and make noises. Then I found company (陪伴). A little brown ant was struggling (挣扎) to find its way with a bit of dry straw (草) through the jungle of leaves and grass below my nose. I wondered if I could give the little fellow a lift with its burden (重负), but it showed not the slightest sign of tiredness and struggled on with all six legs, head first or head last, waving its feelers energetically as if the trip had just started. Who ever saw a tired ant? Tiredness, disagreeable tiredness, is impossible to hunted animals, slaves and modern man. It is as great an effort for an office to walk five blocks with a heavy brief-case as it is for a farmer to cross a valley with a goat on his back. It is as hard to get up and climb or run when you have been seated for years as it is to get up and walk when you have been in bed for months. The body is strange. Spare it, and you get really tired for almost nothing; use it, and almost nothing makes you really tired.

I rose to my feet. I had heard a horse neighing down in the valley. Above me, on the open highland places, there were wild horses. But down in the valley there was never a horse if there wasn't a man on it. Somebody was making his way up the valley and my wife was alone.

【1】What's the right order of the following events?

① I heard a horse neighing down in the valley.

② I went to the jungle.

③ I found an ant carrying a bit of dry straw.

④ I lay on the ground to have a break.

⑤ I picked fruits and chopped firewood.

A.②③⑤①④ B.⑤③②④① C.②⑤④③① D.⑤④③②①

【2】How does the author feel about the ant?

A.He admired its behavior toward work.

B.He was amazed at its tireless efforts.

C.He had pity on the little ant.

D.He was happy to have its company.

【3】It can be inferred from the last paragraph that the writer would probably _____ .

A.work harder than before B.talk to the man on the horse

C.make his way home D.stay in the valley to enjoy the beautiful view

26、   Jack had an unusual experience last night. He is sharing it with his friends, Ken and May.

Ken: What were you doing, Jack? What did you see?

Jack: It was half past nine last night and I was getting ready for bed. I heard some strange noise outside while I was brushing my teeth. I wondered what was happening and I went to the window and looked out. To my surprise, I saw a bright yellow green light in the sky.

May: Maybe the light you saw was a UFO! Or a ghost! A few years ago, an American man saw a flying saucer(飞碟)while he was driving along a road. He also saw some strange yellow light. You have heard about it, haven’t you?

Ken: Don’t be imaginative, May. Jack didn’t see anything, or anybody. It wasn’t a ghost. It was probably a plane, or a shooting star. Perhaps Jack just made a horrible(可怕的)dream!

Jack: I am very serious. I did see something. The light disappeared and then suddenly some “tiny people” were standing in the garden. There were three of them. Two of them ate some flowers in the garden.

Ken: Oh, come on, Jack. I really doubt what you have said.

Jack: I am not joking! One of the people was looking at me through the window.

May: Really? What did it look like? Were you frightened?

Jack: Its whole body was green. It had no ears and nose. Its hands were huge. Its eyes were very big and looked like eggs. It looked at me and I could hardly move.

Ken: What happened then?

Jack: I was able to move eventually. I ran and got my camera at once.

May: And?

Jack: I didn’t have a film.

May: Oh no!

I didn’t like it but I had to wear the newspaper hat until bedtime. My father could not hear, but he learned how to speak with his hands. Sometimes my father felt _________________about the way he was treated by his fellow workers who could hear. Because they couldn’t talk to him with their hands, they seemed to ignore him.
