When I was a little boy living in New York, my mother used to embroider a great deal. I would sit at her knee and look up from the 36 and ask what she was doing. She 37 me that she was embroidering. I told her that it looked like a mess from where I was. As from the underside I watched her work within the 38 of the little round hoop（铁环）that she held in her hand, I complained to her that it sure looked 39 from where I sat.
She would smile at me, look down and 40 say, "My son, you go about your 41 for a while, and when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on my 42 and let you see it from my side."
I would wonder why she was using some dark threads along with the 43 ones and why they seemed so jumbled（混乱的）from my 44 . A few minutes would pass and then I would hear Mother"s voice say, " Son, come and sit on my knee." This I did only to be surprised and 45 to see a beautiful flower or a sunset. I could not 46 it, because from underneath it looked so messy.
Then mother would 47 to me, "My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumbled, but you did not realize that there was a 48 plan on the top. It was a 49 . I was only following it. Now look at it from my side 50 you will see what I was doing."
Many 51 through the years, I have 52 up to my Heavenly Father and said, “ Father, what are You doing? ” He 53 , “ I am embroidering your 54 . ”I say, " But it looks like a mess to me. It seems so jumbled. The threads seem so dark. Why can"t they all be bright ? " The Father seems to tell me, " My child, you go about your business of doing My business, and one day I will bring you to 55 and put you on my knee and you will see the plan from My side. "

解析
试题分析：文中作者讲述了自己小时候看母亲刺绣的事情，刺绣时绣品的正面泾渭分明，图案精美，而反面则丝线交错，杂乱无章。所以在生活中也是这样，当你感到人生迷茫世事纷乱的时候，其实你只是看到事情的反面而已。
小题1:A名词辨析。A地板；B 角落；C 天花板；D 台阶。从下文As from the underside I watched her work可以推测得知孩子应该是站在低处看母亲刺绣，所以看到的是丝线杂乱。A选项正确。
小题2:D动词辨析。A 要求；B责备；C 劝说；D 通知，告知。that she was embroidering.是母亲说话的内容，所以此处用inform ，句意：母亲告诉我她在刺绣。D选项正确。
小题3:B名词辨析。A 装饰；B 边界，分界线；C图片；D表面。从常识可知刺绣时候应该在铁箍或者竹子做的绷子以内刺绣，所以B选项正确。
小题4:A形容词辨析。A 混乱的；B 肮的；C 破旧的；D 紧的。从下文why they seemed so jumbled（混乱的）可知在刺绣的背面线是杂乱的，故A选项正确。
小题5:C副词辨析。A机智灵敏地；B小心谨慎地； C温柔地；D 精确准确地。从情理可知孩子在回答孩子问题时，母亲说话应该是柔声细语的。
小题6:B动词辨析。A 抱怨；B 玩耍；C 刺绣；D 想象。从下文when I am finished with my embroidering, I will put you on可知母亲在刺绣，按情理应该是让孩子去玩一会，回头再让孩子来看。所以B选项正确。
小题7:C名词辨析。A 后背；B 椅子；C 膝盖；D 桌子。下文母亲喊Son, come and sit on my knee."由此可知母亲让孩子做到膝盖上，C选项正确。
小题8:C形容词辨析。A 白色的；B 黑色的；C 鲜艳的；D 闪光的。从文章最后作者问上帝的话The threads seem so dark. Why can"t they all be bright ?可以推测刺绣时候有黑线，当然也有鲜艳的丝线。C选项正确。
小题9:D名词辨析。A 眼睛；B 观点；C 心脏；D 视觉，视线。从上下文可知是从小孩子站的角度和视线来看，刺绣背面杂乱的状态。所以正确选项为D。
小题10:B形容词辨析。A 有希望的；B 激动震颤的；C 令人期望的；D 热情的。作者此时坐在母亲膝盖上看到得是刺绣的正面，正面和反面截然不同，所以孩子感到惊讶。和surprised同类的词是 “感到震惊的”，所以B选项正确。
小题11:A动词辨析。A 相信；B 考虑；C 看到；D 触摸。从上文可知孩子从低处看到的和坐在母亲膝盖上看到的完全不同，所以作者惊讶震撼不相信眼前的情景， A选项正确。
小题12:C动词辨析。A谈话；B 提及；C 说；D 低语。从下文的"My son, from underneath it did look messy and jumble可知此处是母亲在和孩子说话，C选项正确。
小题13:A动词辨析。A 提前画的；B 预演，试映；C 储藏，保存；D 生产。从常识可知刺绣时要提前把花样画到布上，所以A 选项正确。
小题14:D名词辨析。A 方向；B 线条；C 图表；D 花样。刺绣时按照画的图案都称为花样，故D选项正确。句意：那就是图案花样。
小题15:B连词辨析。A 或者；B 并且；C 直到；D 除非。Look at it from my side 和 you will see what
I was doing是两个并列句，前后表示顺承关系。所以B选项正确。句意：从我这边看，你就能看到我所做的了。
小题16:A名词辨析。A 次数；B 天，日子；C 季节；D 机会。从语境可知每当作者迷茫无措时，他都会想起母亲的刺绣，所以此处应该是多次。A选项正确。句意：这么多年来，很多次我都抬头仰望上帝。。
小题17:D动词辨析。A 爬；B跳；C 喊，嚷；D 看。因为是和上帝对话，所以应该是仰视在天堂的Heavenly Father，look up to 仰视，尊敬；D选项正确。
小题18:B动词辨析。A 要求；B 回答；C 指示，命令；D 得出结论。从前句Father, what are You doing? ”可知是作者发问，所以推测后面上帝回答道。B选项正确。
小题19:C名词辨析。A决定；B 机会，财富；C 生活；D 生意。从下文内容可知此处是指作者生活中感到混乱，茫然的时候，而且life 词意更广，所以C选项正确。
小题20:D名词辨析。A 家 ；B 母亲；C 美国；D 天堂。因为作者是在寻问上帝，所以应该是去天堂，故D选项正确。

举一反三
One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock.As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand,I noticed the calm,gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning.One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea,and other villagers gathered around his fire,cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture.It was fascinating,but not to be left behind,we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point.
The top was crowded when we arrived,but after 10 minutes of cold waiting,the assembled group gave up.“The cloud cover is too heavy,”one said.Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list.I was disappointed as well,but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds.He must know something we don’t,I thought.I decided to wait with him.
The boy and I didn’t have to wait long.Moments later,a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud,then another.Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds,and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain,mile above where I’d expected it to be.
Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads,and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before,around,and above me.I sat in astonishment,not breathing,not daring to look away,certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like.I certainly got the message.Never again will I rush a sunrise.I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them.

Today, however, Dad would say no more, and caught ups in the busyness of our new life, I eventually forgot about his surprise. Until one gloomy day the following March when I glanced out of the window. Any yet… I saw a dot of blue across the yard. I headed outside for a closer look. They were crocuses (番红花), throughout the front lawn. Lavender, blue, yellow and my favorite pink ---- little faces moved up and down in the cold wind.
Dad! I smiled, remembering the things he had secretly planted last autumn. He knew how the darkness and dullness of winter always got me down. What could have been more perfectly timely to my needs?
My father’s crocuses bloomed each spring for the next four or five seasons, bringing the same assurance every time they arrived: hard times was almost over. Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon.
Then a spring came with only half the usual blooms. The next spring there were none. I missed the crocuses. I would ask Dad to come over and plant new bulbs. But I never did.
He died suddenly one October day. My family was in deep sorrow, leaning on our faith. I missed him terribly.
Four years passed, and on a dismal spring afternoon I was driving back when I found myself feeling depressed. “You’ve got the winter depression again and you get them every year.” I told myself.
It was Dad’s birthday, and I found myself thinking about him. This was not unusual --- my family often talked about him, remembering how he lived his faith. Once I saw him give his coat to a homeless man.
Suddenly I slowed as I turned into our driveway. I stopped and stared at the lawn. And there on the muddy grass and small gray piles of melting snow, bravely waving in the wind, was one pink crocus.
How could a flower bloom from a bulb more than 18 years old, one that had not blossomed in over a decade? But there was the crocus. Tears filled my eyes as I realized its significance.
Hold on, keep going, light is coming soon. The pink crocus bloomed for only a day. But it built my faith for a lifetime.

Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was totally confused and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn"t see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.
The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn"t been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate（错综复杂的） pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.
It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the simplest things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was making fun of me and I was hurt. "I can"t use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia"s Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.
All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good trying for something that I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a bachelor of science degree in philosophy and history at age 80.Three years later, at age 83, she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a master’s in education.
Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93,she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “It’s my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “That’s what I love.”
Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family’s 10 children. Warren describes herself as a “person who always liked school,” and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldn’t finish high school.”
In the end, however, “I went to school nights,” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there.”
A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.
Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.
Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.
In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”

In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University’s tuition- degree candidate.
“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.
Nancy Stoll, dean of students at Suffolk, says Warren is “an interesting role model for our younger students---that learning is a lifetime activity….She is genuinely enthusiastic about being here, and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty.”

His 24 of how he survived is fascinating．His cleverness —how he 25 to catch fish, how he evaporated（蒸发） sea water to 26 fresh water—is very interesting．
But the thing that 27 my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no 28 in continuing the struggle．He was starved and 29 worn-out．Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice．
When people 30 these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going．Many people in 31 desperate circumstances 32 in or go mad．Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on 33 difficulties．

The truth is, our circumstances are only bad 39 to something better．But others have been through the much worse, that is, in comparison with what others have been through, you"re fortunate．Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you 40 through the rough situations with a little more courage．
