"Where did it come from?" I asked.

"It"s not like the one you used to find," my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn"t know where to look for a better one. But I couldn"t be fussy(挑剔的)."

It wasn"t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: All Christmas trees are perfect.

When I was seven, I got work at a golf course near our house. My job was to stand down the fairway and spot the balls as they landed, so the golfers could find them. Losing a ball meant you were fired, so I never missed one. Some nights I would lie in bed and dreamt of making thousands of dollars by playing golf and being able to buy a bicycle.
The more I dreamed, the more I thought. Why not? I made my first golf club out of guava limb(番石榴树枝) and a piece of pipe. Then I hammered an empty tin can into the shape of a ball. And finally I dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth. I practiced with the same devotion and intensity. I learned working in the field — except now I was driving golf balls with club, not oxen with a broomstick.

"Nobody wants to pay musicians anything. I’m sick of all the people who want you to play without paying you."
One younger musician said, "There are several clubs who want me to play for a few nights a month, and I’m trying to find other places to play. I’m also planning to join in several summer festivals this year."
I really liked what the younger musician said so I made friends with him.
Attitudes are important.

There is an easy exercise you can try. Make a list of the people who you often stay with, and simply stop spending time with the negative ones on your list. Set a new standard for yourself and don’t become friends with people who fall below that standard.
Of course, this exercise is entirely different from making friends only for the good of oneself. We really should try to help and spend time with those who are working towards a goal or dream.

My husband and I went into a shop that sold handcrafted items in hopes of finding a few last-minute Christmas gifts.
There was a lot 36 . Every shelf and 37 was loaded with different crafters" handiwork. As I walked through the store, I noticed a wooden plaque(瓷花金属板) hanging on a wall. I turned to take 38 look and remember shaking my head "yes" at 39 printed on the plaque.
"Life isn"t about waiting for the 40 to pass," the plaque proclaimed(宣布). "It"s about learning to dance in the rain."
As I pulled my husband over and directed his attention to the plaque, I could see that he too 41 the simple lesson the plaque shared. How often in our daily lives had we put conditions on our 42 ? When we get the house paid off, then we can be happy. When things settle down with the kids, then we"ll be able to do more together. There is so little joy for the here and now in the uncertainties of the 43 and thens.
Looking at the plaque, I found myself 44 to a hot and muggy day the summer before, when I unknowingly 45 the plaque"s message. Light rain continued to fall as I walked out to get my mail. Water was still running 46 through the gutters(屋顶檐槽). I don"t know what came over me, 47 I suddenly felt forced to do something a little crazy 48 my fifty-plus years.
I 49 my shoes and stockings and began walking barefoot through the water. It was deliciously 50 , heated by the pavement that had been 51 by the summer heat.
I"m sure my neighbors thought that I had 52 my last vestige of sanity(神智健全), but I didn"t care. For in that moment, I was alive. I wasn"t worried about bills, the future or any other day-to-day cares. I was 53 a gift — a pure and simple moment of joy!
The plaque now hangs in my living room, a Christmas gift from my husband. I walk past it multiple times each day and 54 pause to ask myself, "So, am I 55 in the rain?"
I think I am. I know I try to. One step at a time, I am learning to dance in the rain!

Mr. Ballou fell into the last category, and he always had a reason why. On one day, he had no change for a fifty, on another he was flat out of checks, on another, he was simply out when I knocked on his door. Still, except for the money apart, he was a nice enough guy, always waving or tipping his hat when he’d see me from a distance. I figured him for a thin retirement check, maybe a work-relayed injury that kept him from doing his own yard work. Sure, I kept track of the total, but I didn’t worry about the amount too much. Grass was grass, and the little that Mr. Ballou’s property comprised didn’t take long to trim (修剪).
Then, one late afternoon in mid-July, the hottest time of the year, I was walking by his house and he opened the door, mentioned me to come inside. The hall was cool, shaded, and it took my eyes a minute to adjust to the dim light.
“ I owe you,” Mr Ballou, “ but…”
I thought I’d save him the trouble of thinking of a new excuse. “ No problem. Don’t worry about it.”
“ The bank made a mistake in my account,” he continued, ignoring my words. “ It will be cleared up in a day or two . But in the meantime I thought perhaps you could choose one or two volumes for a down payment.
He gestured toward the walls and I saw that books were stacked (堆放) everywhere. It was like a library, except with no order to the arrangement.
“ Take your time,” Mr. Ballou encouraged. “Read, borrow, keep. Find something you like. What do you read?”
“ I don’t know.” And I didn’t. I generally read what was in front of me, what I could get from the paperback stack at the drugstore, what I found at the library, magazines, the back of cereal boxes, comics. The idea of consciously seeking out a special title was new to me, but, I realized, not without appeal--- so I started to look through the piles of books.
“ You actually read all of these?”
“ This isn’t much,” Mr. Ballou said. “ This is nothing, just what I’ve kept, the ones worth looking at a second time.”
“ Pick for me, then.”
He raised his eyebrows, cocked his head, and regarded me as though measuring me for a suit. After a moment, he nodded, searched through a stack, and handed me a dark red hardbound book, fairly thick.
“ The Last of the Just,” I read. “ By Andre Schwarz-Bart. What’s it about?” “ You tell me,” he said. “ Next week.”
I started after supper, sitting outdoors on an uncomfortable kitchen chair. Within a few pages, the yard, the summer, disappeared, and I was plunged into the aching tragedy of the Holocaust, the extraordinary clash of good, represented by one decent man, and evil. Translated from French, the language was elegant, simple, impossible to resist. When the evening light finally failed I moved inside, read all through the night,
To this day, thirty years later, I vividly remember the experience. It was my first voluntary encounter with world literature, and I was stunned (震惊) by the concentrated power a novel could contain. I lacked the vocabulary, however, to translate my feelings into words, so the next week. When Mr. Ballou asked, “ Well?” I only replied, “ It was good?”
“ Keep it, then,” he said. “ Shall I suggest another?”
I nodded, and was presented with the paperback edition of Margaret Mead’s Coming of Age in Samoa ( a very important book on the study of the social and cultural development of peoples--- anthropology (人类学) ).
To make two long stories short, Mr. Ballou never paid me a cent for cutting his grass that year or the next, but for fifteen years I taught anthropology at Dartmouth College. Summer reading was not the innocent entertainment I had assumed it to be, not a light-hearted, instantly forgettable escape in a hammock (吊床) ( though I have since enjoyed many of those, too). A book, if it arrives before you at the right moment, in the proper season, at an internal in the daily business of things, will change the course of all that follows.
小题1:.The author thought that Mr. Ballou was ______________.
A.rich but mean | B.poor but polite |
C.honest but forgettable | D.strong but lazy |
A.anything and everything | B.only what was given to him |
C.only serious novels | D.nothing in the summer |
A.light-heated and enjoyable | B.dull but well written |
C.impossible to put down | D.difficult to understand |
A.read all books twice | B.did not do much reading |
C.read more books than he kept | D.preferred to read hardbound books |
A.started studying anthropology at college | B.continued to cut Mr. Ballou’s lawn |
C.spent most of his time lazing away in a hammock | |
D.had forgotten what he had read the summer before |
A.summer jobs are really good for young people |
B.you should insist on being paid before you do a job |
C.a good book can change the direction of your life |
D.a book is like a garden carried in the pocket. |

"I don"t know for sure," said Danielle, "but it sure sounded bad. It"s right over there. Let"s go and look."
Sean and Danielle knew they would see an accident. But they didn"t know what to expect. There in the middle of the street was a bicycle that had been hit by a car. The bicycle rider was sitting in the street, shaking his head.
"Look at that," said Sean, "he"s not even wearing a helmet. He is one lucky guy".
"No kidding," Danielle replied. "Look at the driver of the car. She"s just as lucky. She"s not wearing a seat belt.
Sean and Danielle are right. The bicycle rider is very lucky, he was not hurt. Riding a bicycle is a lot of fun, but it can also be very dangerous. You have to pay attention all the time to what you"re doing. You also have to follow safety rules.
When you ride a bicycle, remember that you share the road with cars and trucks. These vehicles are a lot bigger than you are. So, always wear a helmet when riding your bicycle. Always means "every time" even if you are just riding around the block.
Follow the same rules as car and truck drivers. Bicycle riders also have some special rules. Here are some special rules you should follow:
● Do not ride your bicycle on the sidewalk. By not riding on the sidewalk, you won"t run into a pedestrian.
● Ride on bike paths or trails when they are available.
● Always ride in the same direction as traffic.
● Always ride on the right-hand side of the road.
● Wh

● Obey all traffic signals and signs. Stop at all stop signs.
● Walk your bicycle across busy crossings.
● Be sure to use hand signals when you turn and stop.
Follow

● Have these r

● Wear light-colored clothing so drivers can see you.
You should always keep your bicycle in good working order. Make sure the brakes work properly and that your tires have enough air. If you find anything wrong with your bike, fix it or have it fixed before you ride it again.
小题1:How did Sean and Danielle know that they would see an accident?

B.was a bicycle under the damaged car |
C.was a car without safe belt and the helmet |
D.surprised both the rider and the car driver |
A.Because the bicycle and the car were lost. |
B.Because the rider didn’t wear his helmet. |
C.Because they both were not badly hurt. |
D.Because the driver didn’t wear the seat belt. |
A.carelessness can result in accidents | B.we can’t ride bicycles in the street |
C.the driver was quite rude to the rider | D.the bicycle rider was sent to hospital |
A.Get off your bicycle and walk across busy crossings. |
