How to Light Up the Life of the Abandoned KidsBLife’s greatest joys and its greatest sorrows often come from therelationships we have developed with others. In fact, our existence isquite dependent upon this interaction with other individuals (个人) andgroups of individuals.In our world today, it seems that most people struggle for happinessthrough pleasant physical surroundings and economic security. These are great,but i f there is conflict in human relations, these things do not bringhappiness. Think about the last time you were having an argument or adisagreement with one of your co-wo rkers, your boss, your friend, or a familymember. Even though you might have been having some success in many areas ofyour life, did you findyourself still feeling some discomfort due to the stress in that particularrelationship? On the contrary, you may know people who are happy in greatpoverty and with physical stress if they have meaningful, pleasant relationswith people around them.Consider the best relationship that you have ever had with any individual.To some degree it probably is or was marked by absolute honesty, deep levelsof trust, respect for that person's skills, knowledge, or capabilities, opencommunication, acceptance of different views, and little concern for images.In effort to make the relationships we currently have the best that they canbe, remember that persuasion usually cannot take place unless there is some sortof close, meaningful connection between the two people involved. The result willbea relationship of respect and progression.Many of us have difficulty in accepting the faults and weaknesses ofothers: co-work ers, work leaders, family members, or members of our social orreligious groups. Our tendency to demand perfection of others can cause us tolose sight that we, ourselves, are less than perfect. Undoubtedly, there aredifferences among us. Some of us are even cruel and unpleasant. Others mayhave cultural differences that are blocks that affect us. But learning to lookfor the similarities instead of those things that set us apart, bearingdifferences, and seeing the best in others rather than the worst will lead torelationships of deep respect and lasting value.61. Paragraph 2 was written in order to .A. raise a new problemB. list some argumentsC. introduce the main ideaD. analyze the background62. In order to establish good relationships with a person, we should .A. try to persuade him to accept our ideasB. help him gain some knowledgeC. show our honesty and trust himD. improve our own capabilities63. People cannot acce pt others’ shortcomings mainly because .A. they attach too much importance to others’ wordsB. they can’ｔ establish a trustworthy relationshipC. they refuse to admit the cultural differencesD. they have higher demands on other people64. According to the passage, in developing a relationship with others, thethings that set us apart refer to the following EXCEPT .A. Reasonable expectationB. Cultural differencesC. Lack of communicationD. Fault-seeking65. What’ｓ the main idea of the passage?A. It presents a good understanding of relationships.B. Build lasting relationships with others.C. Trust and respect lead to goodrelationships. D. Great sorrow is caused bybad relationships.CGive yourself a test. Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds ofwildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharpas it could be, yo u’ll have no trouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child’s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb (麻木的）to new stimulation (刺激), new ideas. Relearningthe art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits.The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are goingto see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night whenI was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead.They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later theyall admitted they’d felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession (痴迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a "ruby-crowned kinglet" and checked it off. Theyno longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing.The pressures of "time" and "destination" are further blocks to awareness.I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit,to take a moment to see what’s around them. I asked them what they’d seen. "Oh, a few birds," they said. They seemed bent on their destinations.Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.66. According to Paragraph 2, compared with adults, children are more .A. anxious to do wondersB. sensitive to other s’ feel ingsC. likely to develop unpleasant habitsD. eager to explore the world around them67. What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3?A. To avoid jumping to conclusions.B. To stop complaining all the time.C. To follow the teacher’s advice.D. To admit mistakes honestly.68. The bird watcher s’ behavior shows that they _.A. are very patient in their observationB. are really fascinated by natureC. care only about the names of birdsD. question the accuracy of the field guides69. Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey?A. The natural beauty is n’t attracti ve to them.B. They focus on arriving at the camp in time.C. The forest in the dark is dangerous for them.D. They are keen to see rare birds at the destination.70. In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should .A. fill our senses to feel the wonders of the worldB. get rid of some bad habits in our daily lifeC. open our mind to new things and ideasD. try our best to protect natureDMy students and I were ready for a challenge --- a trip to Costa Rica. As wewere waiting at the airport, we talked about our hopes and fears for our ten-daytrip. My students worried about homesickness and felt uneasy with their homestayfamilies. But strange foods or meeting new people didn’ｔ concern me. What terrified me was the best part of the trip --- a zip lining (滑缆绳) flight over the jungle valley bordering Arenal Volcano. I made a secret pact (协议) with myself to find an excuse to get out of it at the last minute.When the fateful day arrived, we got to the peak to enjoy the breathtakingview of the volcano. When seeing the activity, my students raised a cheerfulshout. How I wished I had had the same feeling as them. However, I was afraid ofheights.My student Eileen sidled up to me. Her face was pale. “I’m scared,”she whispered. “Will you stay back with me?” Here was my chance! I could get out of zip lining and still save face!“I’ｍ scared, to o,” I said quietly.“Y eah,” she said. “Ｉ thought you would be the right person to askbecause you are really white, and you are sweating.” Her words woke me up, and something clicked into place. If I couldn’ｔ step outside of my comfort zone,how could I ask the kids to do so?“Ma ybe we should give it a try,” I said. I felt a little sick, but Icouldn’ｔbelieve my body was actually moving toward the launch point.“Come on,” I said.“OK,” she agreed.Eileen zipped past me, screaming with fear or delight, which I was not sureof. Once she was across, I followed. The attempt was not as terrible as I hadthought. From that moment on, I knew there was nothing to fear as long as I walked out of my comfort zone and had a try.71.
