It was a picture of a boa constriotor（大蟒蛇）in the act of swallowing an animal. In the book it said: Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it. After that they are not able to move, and they sleep through the six months that they need for digestion.I thought deeply then over the adventures of the jungle. And after some work with a colored pencil I succeeded in making my first drawing. My Drawing Number One. I showed my masterpiece to the grown-ups, and asked them whether the drawing frightened them. But they answered: Frighten? Why should any one be frightened by a hat?My drawing was not a picture of a hat. It was a picture of a boa constrictor digesting an elephant. But since the grown-ups were not able to understand it, I made another drawing: I drew the inside of a boa constrictor, so that the grown-ups could see it clearly. They always need to have things explained. Thats my Drawing Number Two.The grown-ups response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic, and grammar. That is why, at the age of six, I gave up what might have been a great painter. I had been disheartened by the failure of my Drawing Number One and my Drawing Number Two. Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.So then I chose another profession, and learned to pilot airplanes. I have flown a little over all parts of the world; and it is true that geography has been very useful to me. At a glance I can distinguish China from Arizona. If one gets lost in the night, such knowledge is valuable.In the course of this life I have had a great many encounters with a great many people. And that hasnt much improved my opinion of them. Whenever I met one of them who seemed to me at all clear-sighted, I tried showing him my Drawing Number One, which I have always kept. I would try to find out if this was a person of true understanding. But, whoever it was, he, or she would always say: That is a hat. Then I would never talk to that person about boa constrictors, or primeval forests, or stars. I would bring myself down to his level. I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics and neckties. And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such an intelligent man.34The writer drew his first picture in order to .Ashow the grown-ups what the book was aboutBfrighten the grown-ups trying to enter the forestCremind himself of the adventures of the jungleDillustrate a boa constrictor act of digesting an animal35How did the writer understand the grown-ups response to his second drawing?AHe was actually only good at academic study.BIt was a waste of time for him to keep on drawing.CHe has difficulty in communicating with the adults.DHe was good at anything but geography.36The underlined word disheartened in Paragraph 4 could most probably be replaced by .AdiscouragedBdissatisfiedCdiscriminatedDdisturbed37Which of the following statements is true?AThe writer could have become a pilot if encouraged when young.BThe writer finally changed his opinion of grown-ups.CThe writer has been showing his two pictures to others ever since.DThe writer felt nobody could have really understood him.四、任务型阅读 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)On our journey to finding our true self and achieving our full potential, we sometimes get into hard times. However, we must never lose hope for only through determination and discipline will we be able to reach personal growth. The following tips may help you to achieve your goals for personal growth.Find challengesIf you dont find any challenges to your life, dont just let it be but find them yourself. You should understand that staying too much in your comfort zone would just cause you to remain where you are and therefore never improve. So try to find new challenges that would further develop your strengths and therefore achieve their peak performance.Always have a positive mindset (思维模式)You should develop a positive mindset, as this would be useful when you face any challenge along the way. Through this type of mindset, you will be able to continue with your life no matter how hard the challenge you face is. You should always find a reason to be happy, which would fuel you to go on further and further until you reach your destination.You are not alone and you shouldnt let yourself beThis is a very important factor. Sometimes we are so stubborn about doing things on our own that we dont ask others for help. Generally speaking, doing things by yourself is not wrong, and, in fact, its even preferred to be independent. However, there are really instances in our life that we need to ask others for help. You shouldnt see this as being weak, and other people wont think less of you if you do this. We humans are communal individuals and we could achieve more in this world if we help one another. So dont hesitate to ask for help if you need it, and also lend a hand to others when they need you.PlanWhen you want to achieve something, dont be in a rush. You need to make good preparations before doing it, that is, to plan your overall course of action in advance. Create a goal that you are ready to bet your life on, and check it to see if it is really the goal you want to attain before you give it your all without any second thoughts. When youre sure about it, plan the ways to achieve it, and to evaluate if your process is effective while still along the way. You can change your course of actions while you still have time. Make sure that your goals are specific, attainable and time limited. In
