一、阅读理解
At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible site(地点) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted(自由的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
B. He made a study of many farms before buying.
C. He made money by buying and selling farms.
D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
2. Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
A. He was afraid the owner might change his mind.
B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
D. He was eager to become a farm owner.
3. The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to “________”.
A. the money the author lost in buying the farm
B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
C. the removal of the trees around the house
D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place
4. According to the author, what is important in life?
A. To own a farm.
B. To satisfy his needs.
C. To be free from worries.
D. To live in the countryside.

Don't you think you can compare it with __17__itself? When you meet with __18__ in life and work, you are lost in darkness. Sometimes it's unclear yet and you needn't put up struggle __19__.

一、阅读理解
At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible site(地点) for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attractions of the Hollowell farm to me were its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded(相邻) on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn't been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don't think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted(自由的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.

A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
B. He made a study of many farms before buying.
C. He made money by buying and selling farms.
D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
2. Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
A. He was afraid the owner might change his mind.
B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
D. He was eager to become a farm owner.
3. The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to “________”.
A. the money the author lost in buying the farm
B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
C. the removal of the trees around the house
D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place
4. According to the author, what is important in life?
A. To own a farm.
B. To satisfy his needs.
C. To be free from worries.
D. To live in the countryside.

They had a tradition in this class. On your birthday everyone would sing “Happy Birthday to You” and then members of the opposite sex would line up and give you a hug. My birthday was early in the school year, and since I didn’t know anyone to tell I figured that no one would notice. Little did I know that the teacher had looked at the school records and knew about my birthday. On my birthday I suddenly found myself at the center of everyone’s attention. Before I knew what was happening, everyone was singing to me and I had a bunch of girls waiting to give me a hug!
I was completely confused. My heart was racing! It wasn’t until the fourth or fifth hug that I realized what I was saying “Happy Birthday” in a shy voice during each embrace.

二、阅读理解、
I spent the first eight years of my education in a small. However, in the ninth grade I moved to a huge public high school. I went from a class of 30 kids to a class of almost 100! I was shy and did not have much experience of socializing. I felt invisible there.
They had a tradition in this class. On your birthday everyone would sing “Happy Birthday to You” and then members of the opposite sex would line up and give you a hug. My birthday was early in the school year, and since I didn’t know anyone to tell I figured that no one would notice. Little did I know that the teacher had looked at the school records and knew about my birthday. On my birthday I suddenly found myself at the center of everyone’s attention. Before I knew what was happening, everyone was singing to me and I had a bunch of girls waiting to give me a hug!
I was completely confused. My heart was racing! It wasn’t until the fourth or fifth hug that I realized what I was saying “Happy Birthday” in a shy voice during each embrace. I tried to stop, but my brain I was so busy that I couldn’t control my mouth. Each girl gave me a wish, and I gave her the same in return.
Later, whenever we greeted each other with a hug we would say. “Happy Birthday”.
