One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather.Several times, it  36 obstacles(障碍物in its path.And after a pause it made the necessary detour. At one point, the ant had to  37  a crack(裂缝) about 10 mm wide.After some brief thoughts, the ant laid the                   38 over the crack, walked across it and  39 up the feather on the other side, then continued on its way.I was  40 by the cleverness of this ant.It was only a small insect, lacking in  41 yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  42  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures  43 on the earth, also shares human feelings.
After some time the ant finally reached its  44 – a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   45 home.It was there that the ant met its  46 . How could that large feather possibly   47  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t.So the ant, after all this trouble and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just   48 the feather and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   49 it began its journey and in the end the feather was   50 more than a burden. Isn’t our   51  like this?
We worry about our families; we worry about our money or the   52 of it; and we worry about all kinds of things.These are all  53 —the things we pick up all the life, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   54 that at the destination they are   55  and we can’t take them with us.

For six hours we shot through the landscape of the Karoo desert in South Africa. Just rocks
and sand and baking sun. Knowing our journey was ending, Daniel and I just wanted to remember all we had seen and done. He used a camera. I used words. I had already finished three notebooks and was into the fourth, a beautiful leather notebook I’d bought in a market in Mozambique.
Southern Africa was full of stories. And visions. We were almost drunk on sensations. The roaring of the water at Victoria Falls, the impossible silence of the Okavango Delta in Botswana . And then the other things: dogs in the streets, whole families in Soweto living in one room, a kilometre from clean water.
As we drove towards the setting sun, a quietness fell over us. The road was empty -- we  hadn’t seen another car for hours. And as I drove, something caught my eye, something moving   next to me. I glanced in the mirror of the car; I glanced sideways to the right, and that was when I saw them. Next to us, by the side of the road, thirty, forty wild horses were racing the car, a cloud of dust rising behind them -- brown, muscular horses almost close enough to touch them, to   smell their hot breath. I didn’t know how long they had been there next to us.
I shouted to Dan: “Look!”, but he was in a deep sleep, his camera lying useless by his feet.   They raced the car for a few seconds, then disappeared far behind us, a memory of heroic forms   in the red landscape. When Daniel woke up an hour later I told him what had happened.
“Wild horses?” he said. “Why didn’t you wake me up?”
“I tried. But they were gone after a few seconds.”
“Are you sure you didn’t dream it?”
“You were the one who was sleeping!”
Typical, he said. “The best photos are the ones we never take.”
We checked into a dusty hotel and slept the sleep of the dead.
小题1: During their journey in Africa, the two travelers______.
A.made friends with local residents
B.complained about the poor living conditions
C.enjoyed the sunset in the Karoo desert most
D.recorded their experiences in different ways
小题2: What did Daniel think when he woke up and was told what had happened?
A.He always missed out on the best thing.
B.He had already taken beautiful pictures.
C.A sound sleep was more important.
D.The next trip would be better.
小题3: What is the passage mainly about?
A.How to view wildlife in Africa.
B.Running into wildlife in Africa.
C.Tourist attractions in southern Africa.
D.Possible dangers of travelling in the desert.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch (大牧场) in San Isidro. He lets me use his house to hold events to raise money for youth at risk programs.
The last time I was there he greeted me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let you use my house. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of a poor horse trainer who would go from stable (马厩) to stable, farm to farm, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school was continually interrupted (打断). One day in the last year of high school, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to do when he grew up.
“He wrote a seven-page paper about his goal of owning a horse ranch in great detail. He put a great deal of his heart into the project and even drew a detailed floor plan for the dream ranch. Then the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. But he got a low mark with a note that read, ‘See me after class.’
“The boy went to see the teacher after class and asked, ‘Why did I receive a low mark?’
“The teacher said, ‘This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. There’s no way you could ever do it, your dream couldn’t come true . ’Then the teacher added, ‘If you will rewrite this paper, I will reconsider your mark.’
“The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, ‘Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’
“Finally, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He wrote, ‘You can keep the low mark and I’ll keep my dream.’
“I was that boy twenty years ago.” My friend said, smiling.

It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so clear? This story may have happened not long ago--- but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy. We served hot food to whoever came in. Most of our dinners looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. Then, a man came in, who looked anything but needy. He was well dressed. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station , the more I muttered (小声抱怨). What was this man doing? Surely he wasn’t going to take food which was meant for those who were really in need!
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical, hunger, etc. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those problems. But what if his needs are emotional(情感的)? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings? Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man--- but I didn’t.
About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can’t help but wonder if it came from that man.
Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to send kindness their way, no matter how they look. Needs aren’t always seen. But kindness always makes a difference.
小题1:How did the author feel as the well-dressed man joined the line for food?
A.SurprisedB.ExcitedC.NervousD.Hopeless
小题2:The author’s mother mainly wanted to tell the author that we ______.
A.shouldn’t judge a man by his appearance.
B.shouldn’t complain about others
C.should give others what they want.
D.should accept everything we meet
小题3:What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A.ImportantB.UnknownC.IndependentD.Excellent
小题4:From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.
A.seeing is believing
B.it’s difficult to be kind to others
C.some rich people pretend to be poor.
D.we should help people in the way they need.
小题5:What would be the best title for the text?
A.My mother’s influence on my growth
B.The importance of volunteering
C.One of my most shameful experiences
D.My mother’s simple lesson in kindness

I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.
