llingly 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 .

The selfmade billionaire said he felt stupid for not knowing any foreign languages. Speaking in his third Ask Me Anything questionandanswer session for online forum Reddit(紅迪網(wǎng)), the Microsoft founder said that he wished he spoke French, Arabic or Chinese. He said, I took Latin and Greek in high school and got As and I guess it helps my vocabulary. I keep hoping to get time to study one of these—probably French because it is the easiest. I did Duolingo for a while but didn39。t keep it up. Gates, who is worth $ billion, praised Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for surprising an audience in Beijing when he spoke fluent Chinese. Mark Zuckerberg amazingly learned Chinese and did a Q amp。 A with Chinese students—unbelievable, isn39。t it? he said. This isn39。t the first time for Gates to admit his regret over language. He also showed his habits at home and personal insights. Last February, Gates said he likes to do the dishes himself—to his own special standards every night and also told the interviewer that his wife, Melinda, would likely want Samuel L. Jackson to play her husband in a biopic(傳記片). He also admitted that he would pick up a $100 bill if he found it on the street. As he took the top spot on Forbes(福布斯) 28th Annual Billionaires list last year for the fourth time, he said he is pretty basic when it es to spending on clothes and food, but that he enjoys investing in shoes and rackets(球拍) when he plays tennis. When asked a life lesson he had to learn the hard way, the billionaire said staying up too late is a habit he is still trying to break. Don39。t stay up too late even if the book is really exciting. You will regret it in the morning. Pam is still working on this problem, he said.(1)Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A.An Interview with Bill GatesB.How Bill Gates SucceededC.Bill Gates39。 RegretD.The Richest Billionaire(2)The underlined part in paragraph 8 may actually mean that _______.
