A
I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly nervous. I f umbled(摸
索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which h ad escaped their search. I found one and because of my shak ing hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matche s; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guar d. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “H ave you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came o ver to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I s miled. I don't know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness ; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to an other, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap betw een our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didn't wa nt to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smil e on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile.
I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not
just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures o f my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and be gan to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that I'd never see my famil y again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears c ame to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlo cked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of tow n, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.

Australia，the last continent，
was discovered by ships belonging to some European nations in the seventeenth century， these nations were less interest ed in changing it into a colony（殖民地）than in exploring （勘探）it．As in the early history of the United States，
it was the English who set up the settlements（新拓展
地） in Australia．This history and the geography of these tw
o British colonies have some other things in common as well ．
Australia and the United States are about the same in size，and their western lands are both not rich in soil．It was the ea stern coast of Australia and America that the English first settl ed， and both colonies soon began to develop towards the w est．However，
this westward movement took place more because the Englis h were searching for better land than because the population was increasing．Settlements of the western part of both coun tries developed quickly after gold was discovered in America i n 1849and in Australia two years later．
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common，
these are some striking differences as well．The United State s gained its independence from England by revolution while A ustralia won its independence without having to go to war．A ustralia， unlike the United States，
was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its ec onomic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising ．By 1922，

To a large degree，
the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the present moment. In spite of what ha ppened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happ en tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always! Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的）
art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of t hings—
all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to do minate our present moments, so much that we end up anxiou s, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we
also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "so meday" will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the sa me mental dynamics that tell us to look foward to the future wi ll only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arr ives. John Lennon once said，
"Life is what is happening while we are busy making other pla ns. " When we are busy making " other plans" ，
our children are busy growing up，
the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies ar e getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In s hort, we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal(排演；预演) for some late date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have，
and the only time that we have any control over. When our att ention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the futu re—we won’t have enough money，
our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whate ver.
To combat fear，
the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the
present. Mark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life，
some of which actually happened.” I don't think I can say it an y better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Yo ur efforts will pay off.
32 .In the first paragraph, the author tells us to focus on_____ ____.
A. the past
B. the future
C. every day
D. the present
33 .Why do we often have some negative feelings?
A. Because we often forget what happened in the past.
B.Because we are often disturbed by what happened in the p ast and what will happen in the future.
C.Because we often pay attention to what is happening at pre sent.
D. Because we often ignore what will happen in the future and what happened in the past.
34. The underlined word in the last paragraph means _______ _
A.depend
B. deserve
C. determine
D. defeat
35. The best title of this passage is___________
A.Always live in the present moment
B.Never forget the past
C.Never complain about life
D.Always get prepared for the future

To a large degree，
the measure of our peace of mind is determined by how much we are able to live in the pres ent moment. In spite of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not hap pen tomorrow, the present moment is where you are—always!
Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的）
art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of things—
all at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, s o much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that "someday" will be much better tha n today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look foward to the future will only repeat themselves so that "someday" never actually arrives. John Lennon once said，"Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans. " When we are busy makin g " other plans" ，our children are busy growing up，
the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.
Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal(排演；预
演) for some late date. It isn't. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tom orrow. Now is the only time we have，
and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment , we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the futur e—we won’t have enough money，
our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.
To combat fear，
the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, “I ha ve been through some terrible things in my life，
some of which actually happened.” I don't think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Your efforts will pay off.
