At an airport I overheard a father and daughter in their last moments together.They had announced her 54 ’s departure.Standing near the door, he said to his daughter: “I love you, I wish you 55 .”She said: “Daddy, our life together has been more than enough.Your love is all I ever needed.I wish you enough, too, Daddy.” They kissed good-bye and she left. He walked 56 toward the window where I was seated.I tried not to intrude (侵犯) on his 57 , but he welcomed me in by asking: “Did you ever say good-bye to 58 knowing it would be forever?”“Yes, I have,” I replied.“ 59 me for asking, but why is this a forever good-bye?” I asked.“I am old and she lives much too far away.I have 60 ahead and the reality is, her next trip back will be for my funeral,” he said.“When you were saying good-bye I heard you say, ‘I wish you enough."" May I ask what that means?” He began to smile.“That is a wish that has been handed down from other 61 .My parents used to say it to everyone.” He paused for a moment, looking up as if trying to remember it in detail, he 62 even more.“When we said ‘I wish you enough"", we wanted the other person to have a life filled with enough good things to sustain them,” he continued and then 63 toward me, he shared the following 64 he were reciting it from memory. “I wish you enough sun to keep your attitude 65 .I wish you enough rain to appreciate the sun more.I wish you enough happiness to keep your spirit alive.I wish you enough pain so that the 66 joys in life appear much bigger.I wish you enough gain to satisfy your 67 .I wish you enough loss to appreciate all that you 68 .I wish enough “Hello”s to get you 69 the final “Good-bye.”He then began to sob (哽咽) and walked away. It is said that “It takes a/an 70 to find a special person, an hour to 71 them, a day to love them, 72 then an entire life to 73 them.”

There was once a farmer who had a fine orchard (果园). He worked very hard all his life and the orchard always did well. But he knew that his three sons looked down upon farm work, and were only interested in getting rich quickly. When the farmer was old and knew he was going to die, he called his three sons to him and said, “My sons, there’s a lot of gold hidden in the orchard. Dig for it, if you want to have it.” The sons tried to get him to tell them the exact place where the gold was hidden, but he said nothing more. After the farmer was dead, the sons went to look for the gold. Since they didn’t know where the hiding-place was, they decided to begin digging all over the orchard, They dug and dug, but no gold was found. Finally they had to give up the attempt. The next summer, the fruit crop was the biggest they had ever had. This was because of the thorough digging the orchard had got.

Saturday 28 April, 2001: Dennis Tito was setting off on his holiday. Mr. Tito’s journey was certainly unusual! So was the transport he chose, and the price of his trip. The 60-year-old multi-millionaire from New York was sitting on board a Russian spaceship. He was on a journey to the International Space Station. It might have been a routine trip for the two astronauts who were traveling with him, but for him it was certainly no ordinary journey. Dennis Tito was the first tourist ever in space, and he had paid the sum of $20 million to go there. As the spacecraft left the earth’s atmosphere, Tito drank a glass of fruit juice to celebrate and looked down at the earth’s blue-green surface. Two minutes later, he was sick. Luckily it was only a minor problem. He soon recovered, and from then on enjoyed a smooth journey. When he arrived at the space station, there was a big smile on his face. “A great trip!” he commented. “I love space.” For a long time space travel was something for heroes. But all this is going to change. Companies like ProSpace are investing large amounts of money in space travel. They want space and space travel to belong to the public, not just governments. There are other plans, like voyages through space from one side of the world to the other. Maybe we will be able to depart from New York at nine o’clock in the morning, and arrive an hour later-- in Tokyo! Such a schedule would allow the business traveler to return to New York on the same day, and still have eight hours for a meeting! 小题1:Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A.Business Travelers | B.Space Tourists | C.A Space Exploration | D.A Frightening Adventure | 小题2:According to the passage, Dennis Tito .A.enjoyed his trip very much | B.was too sick to eat anything in space | C.suffered a lot during the trip | D.didn’t think the trip was worthwhile | 小题3:Which of the following statements is tree according to the passage?A.Tito was the first American tourist in space. | B.Tito contributed all of his wealth to his space trip. | C.Tito visited the Russian Space Station during his trip. | D.Space travel has become a routine for Tito since then. | 小题4:It can be expected from the passage that .A.space travel will belong to the public instead of governments | B.airplanes will some day reach the speed of space vehicles | C.can will be able to circle the earth within less than an hour | D.travel between two places on earth will be made through space |

It was a bitter, cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago. The old man was waiting for a ride across the 36 . The wait seemed 37 . At last he heard the slight, steady rhythm of approaching hooves (马蹄) coming along the frozen path. Anxiously, he 38 as several horsemen came around the bend (转角处). He let the first one 39 . Then another, and another. Finally, as the 40 rider neared the spot where the old man sat like a snow statue, the old man 41 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side? There doesn’t appear to be a passage way by 42 .” The rider replied, “Sure.” Seeing the old man was unable to 43 his half-frozen body from the ground, the horseman got down and helped the old man onto the horse. The horseman took the old man not just across the river, but to his destination. As they neared the tiny but cozy (舒适的) cottage, the horseman’s 44 caused him to ask, “Sir, I notice that you let several other riders go by without making a(n) 45 to get a ride. Then I came up and you 46 asked me for a ride. I’m curious why, on such a bitter winter night, you would wait and ask the last rider. 47 I had refused and left you there?” The old man replied, “I’ve been 48 here for some time. I think I know people pretty good.” He continued, “I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no 49 for my situation. But when I looked into your eyes, 50 was evident. I knew, 51 , that your gentle spirit would 52 the opportunity to give me help in my time of 53 .” Those heartwarming comments 54 the horseman deeply. “I’m most grateful for what you have said,” he told the old man. “May I never get too busy in my own affairs that I 55 to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion.” With that, Thomas Jefferson turned his horse around and made his way back to the White House.
