【文章內(nèi)容簡介】 60。 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（目的地）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(感覺）. Wander in this frame of mind and you will open a new dimension to your life.（1）What idea does the author convey in Paragraph 3? avoid jumping to conclusions. stop plaining all the time. follow the teacher39。s advice. admit mistakes honestly.（2）The bird watchers39。 behavior shows that they __________. very patient in their observation really fascinated by nature only about the names of birds the accuracy of the field guides（3）Why do the hikers take no notice of the surroundings during the journey? natural beauty isn39。t attractive to them. focus on arriving at the camp in time. forest in the dark is dangerous for them. are keen to see rare birds at the destination.（4）In the passage, the author intends to tell us we should __________. our senses to feel the wonders of the world rid of some bad habits in our daily life our mind to new things and ideas our best to protect nature【答案】 （1）A（2）C（3）B（4）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇夾敘夾議文。作者希望我們能夠運用我們的感官和情感去全方位感受自然的美妙，去感受世界的美好。 （1）考查推理判斷。根據(jù)第三段中的“ The first step in awakening senses is to stop predicting what we are going to see and feel before it occurs.”喚醒感官的第一步是在它發(fā)生之前停止預(yù)測我們將要看到和感覺到的東西?？芍髡哒J(rèn)為在事情發(fā)生前避免過早下結(jié)論。故選A。 （2）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。根據(jù)第四段中的“ I saw bird watchers who spotted a bird, immediately looked it up in field guides, and said, a ‘rubycrowned kinglet’ and checked it off.

If an eager graduate student showed up in my office bearing desserts and asked me to pick one, I39。d cast a careful glance and ask Why? before grabbing the apple pie. So one day, when someone from the Psychology Department posted instructions in the bathroom persuading all of us to Think about five things for which you39。re grateful every day for a week! my response was frankly doubtful. I did the math. Five things a day for seven days is a lot of brainpower to expend without so much as the promise of an apple pie. I wandered into the office of Heidi Zetzer, the director of our school39。s Psychological Services Clinic. What39。s with the gratitude thing? I asked. You don39。t ask an academic question－even a simple one unless you39。re prepared for a long answer. Heidi came alive, and I sat down. That39。s when I first heard the term positive psychology. The gratitude thing, as I had called it, was but one small and simple element of the practice. Kind of like training the brain to focus on joy, my friend Heidi explained. It39。s only a week, she urged. Try it. I did. And guess what? It worked. Every day for a week, I found five distinct things for which I was thankful. They had to be different every day. I couldn39。t get away with just being grateful for my wonderful husband. But I could, suggested Collie Conoley, another positive psychologist, express my gratitude for specific aspects of a certain person each day. He39。s a great cook. He always puts our family first. Life will never be perfect. I still see new stories that annoy me. The traffic in my city is maddening. I wish I could speed up my recovery. But with just one simple exercise, I39。m rediscovering the peace of that old saying: accepting the things I can39。t change, working without plaint to change what I can, and being wise enough to know the difference. And all it took was a little gratitude.（1）What39。s the author39。s attitude toward the student with desserts?
