19、1 to 45 are based on the following passage."You must've been in the wrong place," Justin shouted."No way! I followed your directions exactly," Luis replied."I don't understand," Justin said quizzically. "How could you not find the ocean?""Oh, I fo

20、und the ocean. That's a little hard to miss. There was just no beach where you said there should've been one. Half-Moon Beach wasn't there!"Justin remained secure in his belief. "You got lost. That's the only explanation.""No way!" Luis was getting increasing

21、ly annoyed by this conversation. "Your directions were lousy!""Boys, boys . settle down. We're all on vacation, what's this fuss all about?" Mr. Gonzalez, attracted by the boys' raised voices and short tempers, quickly stepped in and tried to calm the situation."

22、Dad, Justin told me about this amazing beach, but he gave me bad directions. The beach wasn't there! I wasted all afternoon looking for that beach."Justin looked indignant. "I didn't lie to you. Those directions were good. It's not my fault you couldn't find Half-Moon Beach

23、.Mr. Gonzalez raised his hands to quiet both boys and softly said, "Let me tell you a story. I think you'll see some interesting similarities."There were once three young princes who lived in a far-off land," Mr. Gonzalez began. "They had become bored with their lives and wer

24、e constantly looking for new things to interest them. An old traveler told them of a tree that was supposed to grow in a nearby forest. The tree was known as the Red-Bud Tree, but no one had ever seen it before."Well, needless to say, the princes all wanted to be the first to see this tree. The

25、 eldest prince was the first to venture into the forest during the first days of spring. He followed the traveler's directions exactly but only found a black, bare tree. There was no color to be found anywhere."Several weeks later, the second prince journeyed into the forest. Spring had arr

26、ived and the kingdom was alive with colorful wildflowers. The second prince followed the same directions and found the Red-Bud Tree. He couldn't believe how beautiful, and how bright red, it was."Several weeks later still, the youngest prince went off in search of the beautiful red tree. Ag

27、ain, he followed the directions, but he found a healthy tree covered in green leaves."One day, not long after the youngest prince returned, all three sat around the dinner table and began talking about the Red-Bud Tree. The oldest prince remarked that he was unimpressed, since the tree was noth

28、ing more than twigs. The middle prince couldn't believe his ears since he thought the Red-Bud Tree had the most brilliant red he had ever seen. Similarly, the youngest son couldn't believe his ears, for the tree had been covered with green leaves when he saw it. The three brothers argued for

29、 a long time, each convinced that he was right and the other two were wrong."Mr. Gonzalez looked at both boys, who were silently listening to his story. "I'm sure you know what happened, right?"Justin spoke first. "Well, I think it's pretty obvious. They each saw the tree at different times of the year, so it looked different.""That's right, Justin. Sometimes, several people can see the same thing at different times and see different things. Just like you and Luis did yesterday."Both boys looke
