The first is our need to believe that the world makes sense, that there is a cause for every effect and a reason for everything that happens. That leads us to find patterns and connections both where they really exist and where they exist only in our minds. A baby es to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. He wakes up in the morning and summons the rest of the world to his tasks. He cries, and someone es to attend to him. When he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. Very often, we do not pletely outgrow that childish view that our wishes cause things to happen.（1）What is said about the two deceased elderly women? lived out a natural life. died of exhaustion after the long plane ride. weren39。s funerals probably because . found the funerals unsatisfactory believed that they were responsible had ignored the natural course of events didn39。 . should try to meet others39。 （1）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?？芍@兩個(gè)老婦人是正常、自然死亡的。 （2）考查推理判斷?？芍?，作者信仰《圣經(jīng)》并主持葬禮，由此推出作者的身份應(yīng)為牧師。 （3）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解?？芍麄冋J(rèn)為如果自己選擇相反的做法，母親就不回去世了，認(rèn)為自己有責(zé)任。 （4）考查細(xì)節(jié)理解。可知，人們從嬰兒時(shí)期就意識(shí)到是他們的愿望是世界上一切發(fā)生的原因。 【點(diǎn)評(píng)】本題考點(diǎn)涉及細(xì)節(jié)理解和推理判斷兩個(gè)題型的考查，是一篇人生感悟類閱讀，考生需要準(zhǔn)確掌握細(xì)節(jié)信息，并根據(jù)上下文進(jìn)行邏輯推理，從而選出正確答案。On a recent night, while I was busy thinking about important social issues, like what to do over the week﹣end and who to do it with, I overheard my parents talking about my future.

There was a picture of my grandfather who was a member of the class of 1942, the war class. Next to his picture were photos of my great﹣grandparents. Seeing those pictures made me feel a lot better.
