the train to and from Tokyo, I realized, 1 , that my
fellow riders who were Japanese rarely 2 up and around
or used their eyes to interact with other people. This 3
me at first. To my American mind such interaction has the
4 of mutual (相互的) acknowledgement. But then I
remembered 5 that the Japanese rarely maintain direct
eye contact. Perhaps my people watching seemed 6 . I
tried to be more subtle (细心的).
I had also read how the Japanese feel 7 to each other
as a group by a sense of responsibility. 8 , as a Caucasian
Westerner, I was obviously an outsider, I often 9 being a
temporary member of the group. Once, sitting at a long stop of
a local train, I 10 as several people got up and left the car
when a faster train to their 11 pulled into the station. It
was cold outside and every person 12 to press the
"CLOSE" button as they exited the train doors to help keep out
the cold air for the group 13onboard.
I always feel a bit embarrassed at having the unearned
good fortune of being a 14 speaker of the language. In
Japan I was 15 for the many kind strangers who were
willing to use their English to 16 me. And in a country
where the Roman alphabet is not used in the local language,
the abundant English signage was 17 aimed at helping
travelers.
For the most part on this trip, I found that I was left
alone until I asked for help.I 18 little curiosity or interest
in interacting with me. When I entered a restaurant or shop,
I felt I was 19 as a local resident would be. Welcome is the
greeting often shouted out 20 by the staff when customers
enter restaurants or stores.

your parents won"t give you the money for it. I thought life was so 2 when things like this happened-until September 11, 2001.
I was in P.E. when the planes hit the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. As soon as I got home and for weeks after, I saw the disaster 3 on TV. Seeing the innocent people running for their 4 as the

didn"t know if their loved ones were dead or alive while 10 in all the debris.
Then it 11 me: All my life I had thought mainly of myself. I had it easy in life and had been taking it all

A feeling of coldness 12 down my back, and I cried just thinking of the possibility that it could have

How do you feel about watching other people work?
Nothing is more refreshing on a warm summer day than watching someone else work.
Right now, I"m sitting on my porch and watching young Beth baling (打捆) the big field on top of the hill.
She"s been haying that field for over ten years. I know: I put her on the tractor when she was just twelve
years old.
She picked a great day for baling. It"s not too hot, and there"s a nice breeze. On Monday, when she
cut the field, it was so hot I thought the corn would start popping in the field. Didn"t stop her, though. She
just stuck that big hat on her head, wrapped a wet handkerchief around her neck, and set to work. I
remember when I would have done the same thing.
While I"m here sucking a lemonade, Beth is driving the "hay (干草) train," a tractor pulling a baler and
an old wagon. You"d think someone her size would never be able to see over the tractor. But somehow
she manages. When she"s finished, her tracks are very straight.
The whole time she"s haying, that dog of hers is working just as hard, running along beside her like
he"s afraid she"ll drive away without him. Beth sure knew what she was doing when she trained him.
The way the machine works is pure poetry. Each row is pushed into shape. When just enough hay is
in a bale, it is wrapped up and fastened together. A second or so later, the bale comes flying out and into
the old wagon. The person who invented that machine sure was some kind of genius.
That"s not to say it works perfectly. Every once in a while a bale misses the mark, especially when you are turning the machine at the end of a row. That means, of course, that you have to go back and pick up
those bales and throw them into the wagon.
I can remember when Beth"s mother was her age. She looked an awful lot like Beth does now.
Makes a man proud to see his daughter and granddaughter taking such good care of themselves.
Well, I suppose I should get up and fill this glass again. Not much fun sitting here with an empty glass.
B. forced Beth to work at an early age
C. worked in the field like Beth
D. trained the dog to help Beth work
B. beautiful
C. unforgettable
D. changeable
B. dried up
C. cut up
D. lined up
B. Beth"s father.
C. Beth"s grandmother.
D. Beth"s grandfather.

attention to an interesting conversation. Because of this distraction (分心)my brother took a wrong turn.
Unfortunately, the wrong turn took us towards a bridge and we had no way to turn back. Unwillingly, my
brother paid the bridge fee and drove on. He was clearly frustrated by the mistake and the needless
waste of $4.
We eventually reached an exit and, as we took it, my brother noticed a young fellow pulled over to
the side of the road. He came out of his car and tried to phone someone. I was busy trying to figure out
which way we would go next but my brother pulled over and asked the guy if he needed any help. And
he did. He had a flat tire and needed a tool to get it off.
My brother gave him a wrench, and then began to help him change the flat. The young man said that
this had been a bad week for him: earlier he had gotten into a minor car accident, and now this flat on his
way home from work. But he called us "a breath of fresh air" and kept thanking us because he really
would have been stuck if we hadn"t come along.
After we finished the job he thanked us again and pulled out $20 from his pocket and tried to give it
to us. "No," I said. "We were never supposed to even get on that bridge, we took a wrong turn. But now we know why we did. It was to help you. Thank you for turning our mistake into an opportunity to
serve."
What I loved most was that my brother was able to see a chance to help. His reaction in the situation
is a lesson for everyone and we felt so good the rest of the day.
B. When they were passing through an exit.
C. When the young man stopped them for help.
D. After they came back to the right road.
B. was a warm-hearted young man
C. made the turn to help the young man
D. regretted making a wrong turn all the way home
B. His car"s air conditioner was broken.
C. They calmed him down by offering him a cold drink.
D. They changed his bad luck and the bad mood he was in.
B. God helps those who help themselves.
C. Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets his mind to it.
D. If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.
and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen
and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the
fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I"d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of
the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. And then the other
things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty-we hadn"t seen
another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving next to me. I glanced
in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the
side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them-brown,
muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to smell their hot breath. I didn"t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: "Look!", but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.
They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms in the
red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
"Wild horses?" he said. "Why didn"t you wake me up?"
"I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds."
"Are you sure you didn"t dream it?"
"You were the one who was sleeping!"
"Typical, he said. "The best photos are the ones we never take."
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
B. complained about the poor living conditions
C. enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most

B. Running into wildlife in Africa.
C. Tourist attractions in southern Africa.
D. Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.
