I used to hold on to things in my life that I thought were so important to me. Early in my marriage, all I cared about was being the best volleyball player in the state of Wisconsin. One year, when Kristi was working shifts at General Motors, I played in 1,400 games, peting four nights a week and 40 out of 52 weekends. My team won over 1,000 games. Success on the volleyball court, but a huge loss in my relationship with my Kristi. When I finally let go, I looked back at what I had done and was ashamed. Not only did I show my wife she wasn39。t the most important thing to me, but I missed out on a lot of relationship building time. My life is so much richer now that I am not a slave to that drive to be the best player I could be.（1）Which of the following could be the best title for the passage?

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 ____________. to do wonders to others39。 feelings to develop unpleasant habits to explore the world around them（2）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.（3）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（4）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.（5）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）D（2）A（3）C（4）B（5）A 【解析】【分析】本文是一篇散文。我們有多久沒(méi)有仔細(xì)觀察我們周圍的世界了。作者通過(guò)此文要告訴我們：放慢腳步，帶著我們所有的感官來(lái)感受周圍世界的奇妙。（1）推理判斷題。根據(jù)文章第二段Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults.
