　　These days’ experience(经历) ,like many other things, are becoming increasingly expensive. One has to get to pay a lot to get, even an ordinary one.

　　Not long ago, I wanted to invite my friends to a lunch. What we really need was a good and a quiet place for a talk, not a big meal. So I chose one and told my friends to go there.

　　After I ordered, I was asked whether I would eat a 100 yuan or 200 yuan lunch, I said,“200 yuan.” I didn’t realize until I was asked to pay after lunch, that“200 yuan”means“200 yuan for person each.”

　　There were five people that day, and all of us were surprised by the 200 yuan meal. The bill came at last: it was 1260 [l000 for the five of us, plus the money for drinks, fruits and air conditioning(空调)]. I paid the bill without a word.

　　What could I say? It was not their fault(过失). It was my own fault that made me pay the largest bill in my life.

　　However, it was not so bad: we had a good lunch and at a quiet place. Besides, the experience will help in later years.

　　To support my idea, I have developed my own way of thinking about the price: 200 yuan for the lunch and 1060 for the experience. This paid experience has made me ten times wiser.

1．According to the passage, now one has to pay ________.

[　　]

A．more for a lunch in a restaurant

D．increasingly high price

2．I ordered a lunch ________.

D．to have a talk in a good place

3．I thought I ordered a meal that would cost ________.

[　　]

4．The last sentence of the passage expressed ________.

[　　]

A．my thanks to the restaurant

B．my happiness to be ten times wiser

C．my anger at the experience

D．my pleasure to have a good lunch

5．I paid the largest bill in my life because ________.

After my brother died in an accident , my mother was inconsolable(痛苦的，极其伤心的). I was only 4 years old at that time, but I still understood the seismic shift（地震的改变） in my mom’s attitude towards safety. Suddenly, everything around us was potentially dangerous.

I grew up with a lot of restrictions（限制）that were meant to protect me. I couldn’t walk home from school by myself even though everyone I knew already did. I couldn’t attend parties, or go to summer camp, because what if something happened to me. My life was divided into “things you should avoid” and “things you needed to do in order to have a good , long life”.

I became a natural worrier. I worried about things like getting cancert, losing my wallet, car accidents, and earthquakes-disasters big and small, real and imagined.

When I was 14, my mother died suddenly in a car accident. That loss, on top of my brother’s unnatural death, could have paralyzed(瘫痪) me. But at my mom’s funeral, I made a choice. I could either live out the rest of my life trying to be “safe”　or I could be brave enough to live out a fulfilling, exciting and, yes, sometimes dangerous life.

I began constantly forcing myself to do the things that frighten or worry me. In fact, I’ve developed a rule for myself: If it scares（使….害怕） me, I have to do it at least once. I’ve done lots of things that my mom would have worried about: I’ve ridden a motorcycle, I’ve dived, I’ve tried rock-climbing, I’ve traveled a lot.

Courage（勇气，勇敢） isn’t a natural attribute (性格) of human beings. I believe that we have to practice being courageous; using courage is like developing a muscle. The more often I do things that scare me, the more I realize that I can do a lot more than I originally thought I could. I’ve also come to believe that fear can be good thing if we face it.
