But there were only two he really liked and he had to choose between them.One picture was a calm lake. The lake was a perfect thing for peace because of the high mountains around it. Overhead was a blue sky with whit clouds. 4_ who saw this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.The other picture had mountains too, But they were rugged (高低不平的). Above was the dark sky, from which heavy fain fell. A waterfall was rushing down the side of the mountain. This did not look _5_ at all. But when the king looked _6_, he found behind the waterfall a very small bush _7_ in the mist(在.中) of the waterfall and a mother bird sitting on her hest (鸟窝)- in perfect peace.The king gave the award to the artist who painted the _8_ picture. Why ? “Because, ”explained the king, “peace does not mean _9_ in a place where there is no _10_, no trouble or hade work. Peace means in the midst of all those things, youre still calm in your heart, Thats the real meaning of peace.”1._2._3._4._5._6._7._ 8._9._10._address . place .speak. really .nobody. practice . friendly .them. but .usuallyThe verb “chat ” means to talk (to someone) in a friendly, informal (非正式的) way.

Messages in a chatroom are usually short sentences. Sometimes _7_ are not even sentences, _8_just a few words that are not really grammatically (语法) correct. Its a typical way in which we _9_ in a quick conversation with friends. To save time, people often use abbreviations like TTYL(talk to you later) or IDK(I dont know) . so dont go to a chatroom to practice “perfect” English.

When he passed by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind, “Ill send Mum some roses(玫瑰).”While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?” he asked. The assistant(店员) was trying to tell him roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen(一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨).“No, I have to have red roses,” he said. “My mum was badly ill last year and I didnt get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses as rose is her favourite.”After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twentyfive dollars that John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the assistant to send them to his mother.As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon John realized it was not a park but a cemetery(墓地). Crying, the young man carefully put down the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didnt I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.56.The assistant tried to ask the young man to buy carnations instead of roses because_ .A. carnations were nicer than rosesB. roses were saved for JohnC. roses were more expensive than carnationsD. carnations were special flowers for Mothers Day57.John spent _ altogether(总共) in the flower shop that day.A.$5B.$25C.$30D.$5558.The young man cried at the cemetery because he .A. had spent all his money on the rosesB. wasnt able to tell his mother he loved her himselfC. felt sorry to ask John to pay for his flowersD. hadnt got enough money for his sick mother59.At last John changed his mind and went home because he wanted to .A. tell his mother he loved her himselfB. ask his mother for more moneyC. tell his mother the young mans storyD. ask his mother if she liked roses60.The writer
