Dont you think theres something to learn from the tortoise?”Sonny opened his eyes wide, “ Do you mean next time when Im entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”I was shocked, “But the tortoise didnt wish that the hare would fall asleep!”“He must have wished that,”Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”“He didnt have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance（坚忍不拔的）, by pushing on steadily.”Sonny thought a while.“Thats a lie,”he said.“He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadnt happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but hed never have won the race.

Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields and, two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address. By the time be was seven, Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him home. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “I just like seeing places”Johnny told them. Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely，and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older，his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him. It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed mathematics and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography.“What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him.“An explorer!” he answered.“But its difficult to become an explorer in this modern age.”they tried to tell him. But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper. A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River. There were jobs for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”.Johnny applied, and two months later，he was on his way to Brazil.28Johnny frequently left home because _.

Johnny lacked a sense of adventureC. Johnny went exploring along the Amazon RiverD.

Bunny turned to climb back upstairs when he heard a cry. “Hello,” said Bunny. “Is somebody there?” He was answered by another cry. Bunny looked around the big pile of gifts to see what was making the noise. Right under the tree was a funny looking brown animal with big feet and sad eyes. Bunny might have mistaken it for a dog, if it hadnt been for the antlers （鹿角） on its head.“Are you a reindeer （驯鹿）?”asked Bunny.“Yes,” replied the animal, “my name is Ralph.”“And you were pulling Father Christmass led （雪橇）?” “I was until I got airsick,” replied Ralph, “Im afraid I wasntcut out forthe job.
