Then he said, “Excuse me too I wasnt 36 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 37 our way after saying goodbye.But at 38 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 39 the meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still. When I turned, I 40 knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted with a frown (皱眉). She stepped away silently, with her little heart 41 . I didnt realize how rudely I had spoken. That night, when I lay 42 in bed, Gods quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 43 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love, you are QUICK to excite Go look around on the kitchen floor, youll find some flowers there by the 44 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 45 them herself pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly and you never saw the 46 in her eyes.” By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt (跪) by her 47 . “Wake up, my darling,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree, I 48 them in a napkin（纸巾）, just for you. I knew youd like them, especially the 49 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today And I 50 have fussed (大惊小怪) at you that way” And she whispered, “Mommy, thats OK I still love you 51 .” I hugged her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.” Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 52 you are working for could easily replace you in several days. But the family you leave 53 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into our 54 than into our families- an unwise investment (投资) indeed.

But farming has always been difficult in the northeastern corner of the country, which is called New England.New England has many trees and thin, rocky soil. Anyone who has wanted to start a new farm there has had to work very hard. The first job has been cutting down trees. The next job has been digging stumps (树桩) of the trees out of the soil. Then the farmer has had the difficult job of removing stones from his land.The work of removing stones never really ends, because every winter more stones appear. They come up through the thin soil from the rocks below. Farmers have to keep removing stones from the fields. Even today, farms which have been worked on for 200 years keep producing more stones.That is why stone walls are used instead of fences around New England fields. The stone walls are not high: A man can easily climb over them.

Soon the news spread all over the village. Hearing the news, my parents were more than(不止) happy: big smiles formed on their faces. But behind their happiness and pride for my success, I noticed my parents worries about the heavy financial burden on their shoulders. I kept being calm. In order to prepare for my study expenses, my parents worked hard day after day all that summer. And the day finally came when I had to go to school which was far away from my hometown. I still remember it was in the morning that we arrived at the bus station. My parents had helped me get everything ready. It was so hot that day: the scorching sun baked the ground dry. The heated air was filled with the crowds noise and all kinds of smells coming from the station. Sweat streamed down my parentsface. I took my seat on the 11 AM bus and looked at my parents through the window, waiting for the bus to start. Two minutes to 11:00！ My heart leapt (强烈跳动). I suddenly recalled all the efforts they made for me, all the energy and all the sweat they spent on me. They were so selfless! I almost burst into tears! While I kept my tears back, I turned around, for I didnt want them to see me crying The last moment came. The bus started and was moving further away from my parents. They waved at me and I turned toward them, watching their shadows disappearing gradually into the sea of people. I, an 18-year-old girl, who had never left my hometown, began my long trip to my school. I didnt know what would the future be, but I knew that I would have a long way to go, and I believe I could be brave enough to take up all the challenges in my future life with my familys love, their wordless and selfless love.

You probably felt sorry and made up your mind to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us, from earliest school days, have been told that daydreaming is a waste of time. “On the contrary, “says L. Giambra, an expert in psychology (心理学), “daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldnt get done all the thinking it has to do during a normal day. You cant possibly do all your thinking with a conscious(有意识的)mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming then may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states of mind have silent dialogues. “Early experts in psychology paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even considered them harmful. At one time daydreaming was thought to be a cause of some mental illnesses. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinger, a professor of psychology, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinger says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Day dreams really are a window on the things we fear and the things we long for in life. “Daydreams are usually very simple and direct, quite unlike sleep dreams, which may be hard to understand. Its easier to gain a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you recognize the difficult situations in your life and find out a possible way of handling(处理) them. Daydreams cannot be predicted(预料); they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy. So the next time you catch yourself daydreaming, dont stop. Just pay attention to your dream. It may be more important than you think. 72. Daydreaming used to be considered . A. very simple and directB. unimportant or even harmfulC. a necessary part of thinkingD. the result of an unconscious mind73. Professor Eric Klinger believes that . A. we may study our experiences just through our daydreamsB. daydreaming is one of the important ways that we recognize our lives C. our fears and longings in life are shown in our daydreams D. we should be able to tell our futures by having daydreams74. In what way are daydreams different from sleep dreams?A. Daydreams help us to handle more difficult situations.B. Daydreams are not so easy for us to control and direct. C. Daydreams are easier for us to understand.D. Daydreams help to develop an unconscious mind. 75 Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.
