• 2．Johnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time.Somebody left the garden gate open.Johnny wandered out，crossed some fields and two hours later，reached the next village.He could only give his name and address.
     By the time he was seven，Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year.Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot.Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train，and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket.Generally the police brought him home. "Why do you do it？" they used to ask. "I just want to see new places in the world，which makes me very happy." Johnny told them.
     Johnny continued to "see new places" although everyone tried to stop him.His parents used to watch him closely，and so did his teachers；but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away.Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.
     It is hardly surprising that Johnny managed to board a plane with lots of goods.He was only twelve at that time.A few hours later，Johnny found himself in Cairo.How did he get on board？No one knows.According to Johnny himself，it was easy：he just went into the airport，walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.
     In spite of all this，Johnny did well at school.He enjoyed mathematics and languages and，perhaps not surprisingly，he was especially good at geography. "What do you want to be when you grow up？" his teachers asked him. "I want to be an explorer！" he answered. "But it's difficult to become an explorer in this modern age，" they tried to tell him.But it was no use：Johnny knew what he wanted!
     Just before he left school，Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper.A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Amazon River.There were jobs for three young people "willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure".Johnny applied，and two months later，he was on his way to Brazil.
  
  （1）Why did Johnny frequently leave home？

  
  A．He enjoyed seeing new places.
  B．He liked geography very much.
  C．He was tired of going to school.
  D．His parents were strict with him.
  （2）What did Johnny' parents and teachers do with him？

  
  A．Keep following him to get him back.
  B．Encourage him to travel abroad.
  C．Try to stop him from slipping away.
  D．Book tickets for him if necessary.
  （3）What was Johnny going to do？

  
  A．Work for a daily paper.
  B．Have a holiday abroad.
  C．Travel to Brazil alone.
  D．Explore the Amazon River.
  （4）Which of the following best describes Johnny？

  
  A．Naughty.
  B．Adventurous.
  C．Disappointing.
  D．Generous.

• 3．The arts，especially music，should be part of every school's lessons at every grade level.Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience.They could improve their classroom skills，like paying attention and following directions.People develop all these skills when they learn music.Making music also lets children use their imagination.It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
     Music not only makes children better students，but also gives them something positive to do.In a music program，children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang（团伙）.Parents can enjoy listening to their children's music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen.In a school band，students get to be part of a team.They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
     Music builds self-confidence，too.It gives children a sense of achievement and success.Making music is something for them to be proud of，and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience.Music gives children an opportunity for self-expression，and that helps develop their self-confidence.
     Once again，music is important because it can make children better students，give them something positive to do，and build their character.That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.
  
  （1）According to the passage，music could make students smarter by

  .
  A．improving their classroom skills and attention
  B．improving their classroom skills and imagination
  C．improving their attention，direction and imagination

• 4．Life is difficult.
     It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it，then life is no longer difficult.
     Most do not fully see this truth.Instead they complain about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy.It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families，their class，or even their nation.
     What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one.Problems，depending on their nature，cause sadness，or loneliness or regret or anger or fear.
     These are uncomfortable feelings，often as painful as any kind of physical pain.And since life causes a lot of problems，life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy.
     Yet，it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning.Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure.When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit，we encourage the human ability to solve problems，just as in school we set problems for our children to solve.It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn.As Benjamin Franklin said， "Those things that hurt，instruct（指导）." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems.
  
  （1）The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to

  .
  A．save space
  B．persuade readers
  C．make readers laugh
  D．get readers' attention
  （2）The main idea of paragraph 3 is that

  .
  A．most people feel life is easy
  B．the writer feel life is easy
  C．the writer likes to complain about his problems
  D．most people complain about how hard their lives are
  （3）According to the passage，we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to

  .
  A．encourage them to learn
  B．teach them to fear the pain of solving the problems
  C．help them learn to deal with pain
  D．teach them how to respect problems
  （4）The saying from Benjamin Franklin "Those things that hurt，instruct" suggests that

  .
  A．we do not learn from experience
  B．we do not learn when we are in pain
  C．pain teaches us important lessons
  D．pain cannot be avoided

• 5．We often close ourselves off when painful events happen in our lives．Instead of letting the world soften us，we let it drive us deeper into ourselves．We try to ignore the hurt and pain，but we can't hide from ourselves．（1）

  The items listed below are four tips you can open your heart more fully and completely．
     1．Breathe into pain．
     Whenever a painful situation arises in your life，try to face it instead of running away．（2）

  When the sadness strikes，take a deep breath and accept it．By using our breath we soften our experiences and allow more newness．
     2． （3）

  ．
     We're often confused at the next step to take．Actually，we can try a new decision making process．To start this process，we may ask， "Heart，what decision should I make here？What action feels the most right？" See what comes up，then put it into practice and evaluate the outcome．
     3．Spend time alone
     For most of our lives we're surrounded by people：our friends，family members，and strangers．（4）

  ．When you spend time in solitude（孤独），you're free from the influences of other people．It might be painful at first，but eventually you'll add a whole new layer of depth and understanding into your life．
     4．Get outside of yourself
     （5）

  ．But in reality，they actually work hand-in-hand．After you've explored the depths of yourself，you come away with a new understanding．
     Now，it's time to share that - not through telling others，but through being with others．
  
  A．Have a light heart
  B．Ask your heart what it wants
  C．Is there anything I'm hiding from myself？
  D．How often do we really spend time alone？
  E．This may seem a little contradictory（矛盾的） to the last tip．
  F．We should open our hearts and take action to heal the wounds．
  G．When we run away from sadness，it gets stronger and more real．
