Which way is the wind blowing? How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, you39。ll have no trouble answering these questions. Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A child39。s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children bee unclear。 we are numb(麻木的）to new stimulation(刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art of seeing the world around us is quite simple, although it takes practice and requires breaking some bad habits. The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs. This blocks awareness. One chilly night when I was hiking in the Rocky Mountains with some students, I mentioned that we were going to cross a mountain stream. The students began plaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost kneedeep when they realized it was a hot spring. Later they all admitted they39。d felt cold water at first. Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a rubycrowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid attention to the bird and never learned what it was doing. The pressures of time and destination are further blocks to awareness. I encountered many hikers who were headed to a distant campground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a moment to see what39。s around them. I asked them what they39。d seen. Oh, a few birds, they said. They seemed bent on their destinations. Nature seems to unfold to people who watch and wait. Next time you take a walk, no matter where it is, take in all the sights, sounds and sensations. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）According to Paragraph 2, pared with adults, children are more .

A child39。s day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder.“可知,與成人相比較,孩子觀察得更多,孩子的一天充滿了魔力、新奇和驚奇。從而可以推斷出孩子更急于探索他們周圍的世界。故選D。 （2）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段作者敘述在一個(gè)寒冷的夜晚,作者和學(xué)生徒步旅行穿過一條小溪的時(shí)候,學(xué)生們抱怨水太冷而不愿往前走,結(jié)果事實(shí)上那是一個(gè)溫泉。作者舉這樣一個(gè)事例是為了向讀者傳遞這樣的觀念：避免過早下結(jié)論。故選A。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的”Another block to awareness is the obsession(癡迷) many of us have with naming things.“可知,鳥觀察者發(fā)現(xiàn)鳥后只關(guān)心鳥的名字,并不關(guān)心它在做什么。故選C。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第五段中的”I encountered many hikers who
