I found one and because of my shaking hands, I could barely get it to my lips. But I had no matches; they had taken those. I looked through the bars at the guard. He did not make eye contact with me. I called out to him “Have you got a light？” He looked at me, shrugged and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close and lit the match, his eyes unconsciously locked with mine. At that moment, I smiled. I dont know why I did that. Perhaps it was nervousness; perhaps it was because, when you get very close, one to another, it is very hard not to smile. In any case, I smiled. In that instant, it was as though a spark jumped across the gap between our two hearts, our two human souls. I know he didnt want to, but my smile leaped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed near, looking at me directly in the eyes and continuing to smile. I kept smiling at him, now thinking of him as a person and not just a guard. “Do you have kids？” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and nervously fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, too, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for them. My eyes were filled with tears. I said that I feared that Id never see my family again, never have the chance to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. Suddenly, without another word, he unlocked my cell and silently led me out. Out of the prison, quietly and by back routes, out of the town. There, at the edge of town, he released me. And without another word, he turned back toward the town.21What had happened to the man before?AHe had been badly treated. BHe had killed someone.CHe had been searched.

Who turned Australia into a colony？ ABritain BSeveral European countriesCThe United States of America DNone of the above29. In the early history of America and Australia,both colonies developed towards the west firstly for the reason that Athe population was increasing rapidly in the eastBthe English thought there might be richer land thereCgold was discovered there Dfewer people lived there30.

In spite of what happened yesterday or last year, and what may or may not happen tomorrow, the present moment is where you arealways!Without question, many of us have mastered the neurotic (神经兮兮的）art of spending much of our lives worrying about a variety of thingsall at once. We allow past problems and future concerns to dominate our present moments, so much that we end up anxious, frustrated, depressed, and hopeless. On the other hand, we also delay our happiness, often convincing ourselves that someday will be much better than today. Unfortunately, the same mental dynamics that tell us to look foward to the future will only repeat themselves so that someday never actually arrives. John Lennon once said，Life is what is happening while we are busy making other plans. When we are busy making other plans ，our children are busy growing up，the people we love are moving away and dying, our bodies are getting out of shape, and our dreams are slipping away. In short, we miss out on life.Many people live as if life were a dress rehearsal(排演；预演) for some late date. It isnt. In fact, no one has a guarantee that he or she will be here tomorrow. Now is the only time we have，and the only time that we have any control over. When our attention is in the present moment, we push fear from our minds. Fear is the concern over events that might happen in the futurewe wont have enough money，our children will get into trouble, we will get old and die, whatever.To combat fear，the best strategy is to learn to bring your attention back to the present. Mark Twain said, “I have been through some terrible things in my life，some of which actually happened.” I dont think I can say it any better. Practice keeping your attention on here and now. Your efforts will pay off.32 .In the first paragraph, the author tells us to focus on_.A. the pastB. the futureC. every dayD. the present33 .Why do we often have some negative feelings?A. Because we often forget what happened in the past.B.Because we are often disturbed by what happened in the past and what will happen in the future.C.Because we often pay attention to what is happening at present.D. Because we often ignore what will happen in the future and what happened in the past.34. The underlined word in the last paragraph means _A.depend B. deserve C. determine D. defeat35. The best title of this passage is_A.Always live in the present momentB.Never forget the pastC.Never complain about lifeD.Always get prepared for the future第二节(共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Things You Should Stop Doing to Be SuccessfulAre you a happy person?
