fresh, which called us outdoors. a friend and i went for a walk up a small hill. everywhere around us the grass was a dull brown color as if painted with a dirty brush. i told my thought to my friend who, in reply, drew from his coat a pocket microscope (显微镜). bending down, he picked some of the uglycolored growth and handed it to me with the microscope. i could hardly believe my eyes, for suddenly i was looking at some shining tiny flowers of lovely color. it seemed strange that so much beauty should be so hidden, a secret life carried on by nature beneath a dull exterior (外表)some days later, while i was at the hospital where i worked, a woman entered with three children. her hair hung in untidy wisps round a face whose uncaredfor skin looked dried and dull. she sat down and waited her turn with the patience of the poor. the children gradually gathered courage and made brave explorations as time went by. suddenly the little girl overbalanced and fell. both her brothers, so little bigger than her, rushed anxiously to her aid. when the child fell, the mother had at first started up in alarm, but when she saw that the child was not really hurt and that her brothers were caring for her with such love, her eyes grew soft and a look of such indescribable love passed over her face once again i saw great beauty.beauty lies in every side; we must develop our own microscopes of perception (感知能力) in order to look through the physical exterior which, like the grasscovered hillside, conceals a beauty still hidden from our eyes.语篇解读：作者通过自己的两次经历告诉我们：美有时候会被隐藏在平凡甚至是丑陋的外表下，这需要我们用心去发现。4what did the author and his friend go to the small hill for?ato enjoy the beauty.bto test his friends microscope.cto find hidden beauty on

little complaints that may have come from an argument, a misunderstanding, the way we were raised, or some other painful events. stubbornly, we wait for someone else to reach out to us believing this is the only way we can forgive or rekindle a friendship or family relationship.a friend of mine recently told me that she hadnt spoken to her son in almost three years. she said that she and her son had had a disagreement about his wife and that she wouldnt speak to him again unless he called first. when i suggested that she be the one to reach out, she said, “i wont do that. hes the one who should apologize.” after a little gentle encouragement, however, she did decide to be the first one to reach out. to her amazement, her son was grateful for her willingness to call and offered an apology of his own. as in usually the case when someone takes the chance and reaches out, everyone wins.whenever we hold on to our anger, we turn “small stuff (问题)” into really “big stuff” in our minds. we start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness. they are not. if you want to be a more peaceful person, you must understand that being right is almost never more important than allowing yourself to be happy. the way to be happy is to let go, and reach out. let other people be right. this doesnt mean that youre wrong. everything will be fine. youll experience the peace of letting go, as well as the joy of letting others be right.youll also notice that, as you reach out and let others be “right”， they will become less defensive and more loving toward you. they might even reach back. but, if for some reason they dont, thats okay too. youll have the inner satisfaction of knowing that you have done your part to create a more loving world, and certainly youll be more peaceful yourself.语篇解读：生活中，有很多人在与别人发生争执、产生误会等时，会等待别人先道歉。但文章告诉我们要先向对方道歉，释放内心的愤怒，从而享受心平气和的快乐。8the underlined word “rekindle” in paragraph 1 probably means “_”arecover bdevelopcaccept

stuff (问题) into really big stuff in our minds. we start to believe that our positions are more important than our happiness.”可知，我们总是认为我们自己的立场更重要，所以会保持愤怒不释放。故选c项。10according to the passage, the best

of red dating back to the days when mechanical arms lifted and lowered to indicate whether the rail ahead was clear. so that ones simple.green meant “caution” at firstgreens role in lights has actually changed dramatically over time. its wavelength is next to (and shorter than) yellows, meaning its still easier to see than any color other than red and yellow. back in the early days of railway lights, green originally meant “caution”， while the “allclear” light was, well, clear or white. trains, of course, take an unlimitedly long time to stop, and legend has it that several disastrous collisions happened after an engineer mistook stars in the night horizon for an allclear. thus, green became “go”， and for a long time, railways used only green and red to signal trains.yellow means “caution” because its almost as easy to see as redfrom the earliest days of motoring up until the mid1900s, not all stop signs were red many were yellow, because at night it was all but impossible to see a red stop sign in a poorly lit area. the yellow stopsign craze began in detroit in 1915, a city that five years later installed its first electric traffic signal, which happened to include the very first amber traffic light, at the corner of michigan and woodward aves.语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。交通信号灯为什么要用红、黄、绿三种颜色呢？作者通过转载来的几个微信的内容来告诉大家其缘由及相关的知识。12what are the earliest traffic
