I wandered in the park. The park bench was1 as I sat down to read beneath the long, straggly (蔓延的) branches of an old willow tree. I was disappointed by life with 2 reason to frown, for the world was intent on dragging me down.
3 that weren't enough to ruin my day, a young boy out of 4 approached me, all tired from play. He stood right before me and said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"
In his hand was a flower, and what a 5 sight, with its petals(花瓣) all worn --- not enough rain, or too little light. I faked a small 6, wanting him to take his dead flower and leave, and then 7.
But instead of leaving he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared with surprise, "It surely smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That's why I picked it; here, it's for you."
The weed before me was dying or dead. Not brilliant colors, orange, yellow or red. But I knew I must 8 it, or he might never leave. So I reached for the flower, and replied, "Just what Ineed."
But 9 him placing the flower in my hand, he held it mid-air without 10 or plan. It was then that I noticed for the very first time, that young boy could not see: he was blind.
My 11 trembled, and tears shone like the sun as I 12 him for picking the very best one. "You're welcome," he smiled, and then ran off to play, not 13 of the impact he'd had on my day.
I sat there and wondered how he 14 to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old willow tree. How did he 15 my difficult situation? 16 from his heart, he'd been blessed with true 17.
At last I could see, 18 the eyes of a blind child, the problem was not with the 19; the problem was me. And for all of those times I myself had been 20, I vowed(发誓) to see beauty, and appreciate every second that's mine.
I held that wilted(枯萎) flower up to my nose and breathed in the fragrance of a beautiful rose and smiled as that young boy.

  Some years ago, writing in my diary used to be a usual activity. I would return from school and spend the expected half hour recording the day’s events, feelings, and impressions in my little blue diary. I did not really need to express my emotions by way of words, but I gained a certain satisfaction from seeing my experiences forever recorded on paper. After all, isn’t accumulating memories a way of preserving the past?

  When I was thirteen years old, I went on a long journey on foot in a great valley, well-equipped with pens, a diary, and a camera. During the trip, I was busy recording every incident, name and place I came across. I felt proud to be spending my time productively, dutifully preserving for future generations a detailed description of my travels. On my last night there, I wandered out of my tent, diary in hand. The sky was clear and lit by the glare of the moon, and the walls of the valley looked threatening behind their screen of shadows. I automatically took out my pen….

  At that point, I understood that nothing I wrote could ever match or replace the few seconds I allowed myself to experience the dramatic beauty of the valley. All I remembered of the previous few days were the dull characterizations I had set down in my diary.

  Now, I only write in my diary when I need to write down a special thought or feeling. I still love to record ideas and quotations that strike me in books, or observations that are particularly meaningful. I take pictures, but not very often—only of objects I find really beautiful. I’m no longer blindly satisfied with having something to remember when I grow old. I realize that life will simply pass me by if I stay behind the camera, busy preserving the present so as to live it in the future.

  I don’t want to wake up one day and have nothing but a pile of pictures and notes. Maybe I won’t have as many exact representations of people and places; maybe I’ll forget certain facts, but at least the experiences will always remain inside me. I don’t live to make memories—I just live, and the memories form themselves.

  51. Before the age of thirteen, the author regarded keeping a diary as a way of ______.

  A. observing her school routine

  B. expressing her satisfaction

  C. impressing her classmates

  D. preserving her history

  52. What caused a change in the author’s understanding of keeping a diary?

  A. A dull night on the journey.

  B. The beauty of the great valley.

  C. A striking quotation from a book.

  D. Her concerns for future generations.

  53. What does the author put in her diary now?

  A. Notes and beautiful pictures.

  B. Special thoughts and feelings.

  C. Detailed accounts of daily activities.

  D. Descriptions of unforgettable events.

  54. The author comes to realize that to live a meaningful life is ______.

  A. to experience it

  B. to live the present in the future

  C. to make memories

  D. to give accurate representations of it

I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the    46 by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money---the sight could  47  a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to  48  it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to  49  his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a  50  practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off most of the earnings, but always leaving two  51  behind.

But  53  a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least  54  of all.  Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you  55 , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.

 A few months ago as I wandered through my parents’ house, the same house I grew up in, I had a sudden, scary realization. When my parents bought the house, in 1982, they were only two years older than I am now. I tried to imagine myself in two years, ready to settle down and buy the house I’d still be living in almost 30 years later.

It seemed ridiculous. On a practical level, there’s no way I could afford to buy a house anytime soon. More importantly, I wouldn’t want to. I’m not sure where I’ll be living in two years, or what kind of job I’ll have. And I don’t think I’ll be ready to settle down and stay in one place.

So this is probably the generation gap that divides my friends and me from our parents. When our parents were our age, they’d gotten their education, chosen a career, and were starting to settle into responsible adult lives.

My friends and I – “Generation Y” – still aren’t sure what we want to do with our lives. Whatever we end up doing, we want to make sure we’re happy doing it. We’d rather take risks first, try out different jobs, and move from one city to another until we find our favorite place. We’d rather spend our money on travel than put it in a savings account.

This casual attitude toward responsibility has caused some critics to call my generation “arrogant”, “impatient”, and “overprotected”. Some of these complaints have a point. As children we were encouraged to succeed in school, but also to have fun. We grew up in a world full of technological innovation: cellphones, the Internet, instant messaging, and video games.

Our parents looked to rise vertically(垂直的)--starting at the bottom of the ladder and slowly making their way to the top, on the same track, often for the same company. That doesn’t apply to my generation.

Because of that, it may take us longer than our parents to arrive at responsible, stable adulthood. But that’s not necessarily a bad thing. In our desire to find satisfaction, we will work harder, strive for ways to keep life interesting, and gain a broader set of experiences and knowledge than our parents’ generation did.
