There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand. Of course, we may 37 with our guide-books the history and 38 developments of a town and get to know them. 39 then, if we take out time and 40 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 44 in this particular way, and not in any 45 why?
Here even the best guide-book 46 us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the 47 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) 48 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what I 49 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 50 the town was first planned and built. Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 51 to develop.
What is the 52 of studying towns in the way? For me, it is 53 that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 54 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 55 just reading about it in a guide-book.

解析
36. guide-book in hand是独立主格结构,作状语,表示方式。
37. 了解一座城市的方式很多,其中之一就是环城徒步旅行,当然,我们还可以借助guide-book来研究(study)其历史和特有的(special)的发展并了解他们。我们不能借助导游手册来写(write)其历史,也不需要讲述(tell)和记忆(remember)其历史。
38. special是指这个城市所特有的。
39.上文讲我们可以借助导游手册研究其历史和发展,下文讲如果我们从容一点,在一个城市小住几天,则对其了解更多。此间有转折的意思。
40. 略
41. look at 在本题中有“考虑,判断”的意思,look at …as a whole意思是“从整体上看”。
42.下文有动词answer,此处是先行词,在定语从句中用answer的宾语,只有questions才能构成动宾关系。
43.介词like意思是“像”。
44. run在这里意思是“延伸;延续;继续”(stretch)。例如:The road runs along the river bank. 这条路沿着河边一直延伸。
45. in any other way以其它方式
46. fail在这里的意思是“使……失望”。从上下文看出,导游手册也不能回答以上这些问题。
47. present adj 现在的,当前的。
48. the original design of a town一座城市最初的设计。
49. what it used to look like 城市过去的样子,与上文the original design of a town相响应。
50.选项A是疑问代词,用在此处语法结构错误;选项C和D分别指这座城市首次建造的时间和地点,与上文the original design of a town和what it used to look like没有联系;选项B表示这座城市设计建造的方式。
51.与上句一致,意思是人们还能更多地了解这座城市未来继续发展方向。
52. point在本句的意思是“用途,目的”。Begin your work now. There’s no point in wasting time. 现在就开始你的工作吧,耗时间没用。
53. nearly几乎;generally一般地;hardly几乎不,都不符合题意。simply仅仅,只是。作者以这种方式去了解一座城市的原因很简单,仅仅是通过亲眼去看,去感受一个人就能更获得更大的快乐。
54. personal亲自的,亲身的,与上一句里的visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes意思相一致。
55.前面有比较级better,这里当然用介词than。

My friends, Emma Daniels, spent the summer of 1974 traveling in Israel. During her monthlong stay in Jerusalem she often went to a café called Chocolate Soup. It was run by two men, one of whom – Alex – used to live in Montreal. One morning when Emma went in for coffee, while chatting with her new friend Alex, she mentioned that she had just finished the book she was reading and had nothing else to read. Alex said he had a wonderful book she might like, and that he’d be happy to lend it to her. As he lived just above the café, he quickly ran up to get it.

Childish Voice
When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why 36 had such a big influence 37 a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult.But now, 38 I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel 39 to express my own 40 on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very 41 experiences. There are still many things 42 me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.
I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better 43 youreself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life 44 . There are so many things around us that 45 our will. We can’t force life 46 our wishes.The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we 47 it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves 48 the world. I think we should learn to accept 49 life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.
Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to 50 every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more 51 that they slip by and leave you feeling 52 . I realize that I’m not just living 53 myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.
Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or 54 . It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one 55 that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man 25 in front of it. “I’m Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you.

Many of us spend a great deal of time and energy trying to prove that we are right-and others are wrong. Many people believe that it’s their job to 36 others how their positions, statements, and points of view are 37 , and that in doing so, the person they are correcting is going to somehow 38 it, or at least learn something. Wrong!
Think about it. Have you ever been 39 by someone and said to him, “Thank you so much for showing me that I’m wrong and you’re right.”? Or, has anyone you know ever 40 you when you corrected them, or made yourself “right” at their 41 ? Of course not. The truth is, all of us 42 to be corrected. We all want our positions to be 43 and understood by others. Being listened to and heard is one of the greatest 44 of the human heart. And those who learn to 45 are the most loved and respected. Those who are in the 46 of correcting others are often resented and 47 .
A wonderful way for becoming more peaceful and loving is to practise 48 others the joy of being right- give them the glory. 49 correcting. When someone says, “I really feel it’s important to:”, rather than jumping 50 and saying, “No, it’s more important to…:”, simply let it go and allow their statement to 51 . The people in your life will become less defensive and more 52 . They will appreciate you more than you could ever have 53. You’ll discover the joy of joining in and witnessing other people’s 54 , which is far more rewarding than a battle of egos (自我). Starting today, let others be “ 55 ”, most of the time?
