4、paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had thought of the dog as one of his customers.

50、lly and I drove over to the museum. She asked, “Do you have the address? ” “No, but Ill recognize it, there was a picture in the magazine. ”“Oh, stop. There it is!”The museum was free. We entered excited. A group of people sitting in the hall stopped talking and stared at us.“May I help you?” a man
51、asked. “No,” I said. “Were fine.” Tour guides got on my nerves. What if they talked a long time about a painting you werent that interested in? Sally had gone upstairs. The people in the hall seemed very nosy(爱窥探的), keeping their eyes on me with curiosity. What was their problem? I saw some nice scu
52、lptures in one room. Suddenly I sensed a man standing behind me. “Where do you think you are? ” he asked. I turned sharply. “The McNay Art Museum!” He smiled, shaking his head. “Sorry, the McNay is on New Braunfels Street.” “Whats this place?” I asked, still confused. “Well, its our home.” My heart
53、jolted(震颤). I raced to the staircase and called out, “Sally! Come down immediately! ”“Theres some really good stuff(艺术作品) up there.” She stepped down, looking confused. I pushed her toward the front door, waving at the family, saying, “Sorry, please forgive us, you have a really nice place.” Outside
54、, when I told Sally what happened, she covered her mouth, laughing. She couldnt believe how long they let us look around without saying anything.The real McNay was splendid, but we felt nervous the whole time we were there. Van Gogh, Picasso. This time, we stayed together, in case anything else unus
55、ual happened.Thirty years later, a woman approached me in a public place. “Excuse me, did you ever enter a residence, long ago, thinking it was the McNay Museum?”“Yes. But how do you know?

60、 the bait (诱饵)!” shouted Andre Harman, pointing to a spot a few yards behind the outboard motors. His voice gave no indication of panic, but the crew suddenly became tense and fixed their eyes on the water. Slowly, smoothly, Andre drew in the bait. The shark followed. No one asked what kind of shark
61、 it was. Everything about it, from its color to its shape, tells that it was a great white shark.Andre lifted the bait aboard. Placing himself between the two motors, he dropped his right hand into the water just as the great head reached the first motor. “My goodness! Andre!” I said. His hand seize
62、d the big nose, moving it away from the tube of the motor, guiding the sharks head up as it rose out of the water. Andres hand held the nose, touching it gently. No one spoke. No one breathed. The moment seemed endless. In fact, it lasted less than five seconds before Andre pulled his hand back.Stil
63、l nobody spoke. Then Andrew smiled and said: “The first time was an accident. I was just trying to move the shark away from the motor. Sharks are attracted to motors by their electrical signals and have a habit of biting them to see if they are eatable.” Andre has worked with great white sharks for
64、years. “My hand landed on its nose, and it sort of paused, so I kept it there, and when I did let go, the shark bit and bit as if it was searching for whatever it was that had attracted it.”Nearly every encounter (遭遇) we had had with the great whites had been totally illogical. The more we learned,
65、the more we realized how little was really known about them in the past years. Back then, it was generally accepted that great whites ate people by choice. Now we know that almost every attack on a human is an accident in which the shark mistakes a human for its normal food. Back then, we thought th
66、at once a great white smelt blood, it would lead to death. Now we know that nearly three-quarters of bite victims survive, perhaps because the shark recognizes that it has made a mistake and doesnt return for a second bite.1.The author said, “My goodness! Andre!” when _.A.Andre was about to fall int

How many kinds of wildflowers can be seen from your front door? If your awareness is as sharp as it could be, youll have no t
69、rouble answering these questions.Most of us observed much more as children than we do as adults. A childs day is filled with fascination, newness and wonder. Curiosity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctions that were sharp to us as children become unclear; we are numb(麻木的) to new stimulat
70、ion(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
71、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 complaining about how cold it would be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almost knee-deep when they realized it was a hot spri
72、ng. Later they all admitted theyd felt cold water at first.Another block to awareness is the obsession(痴迷) 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 ruby-crowned kinglet and checked it off. They no longer paid at
73、tention 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 camp-ground with just enough time to get there before dark. It seldom occurred to them to wander a bit, to take a mome
74、nt to see whats around them. I asked them what theyd 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

79、her with some of his followers. This was in the initial days. While they were traveling, they happened to pass a lake. They stopped there and Buddha told one of his followers, “I am thirsty. Please get me some water from that lake there”.The follower walked up to the lake. When he reached it, he not
80、iced that some people were washing clothes in the water and, right at that moment, a bullock cart started crossing the lake right at the edge of it. As a result, the water became very muddy, very dirty. The follower thought, “How can I give this muddy water to Buddha to drink?!” So he came back and
81、told the Buddha, “The water in there is very muddy. I dont think it is fit to drink”.So, the Buddha said, let us take a little rest here by the tree. After about half an hour, again Buddha asked the same follower to go back to the lake and get him some water to drink. The follower obediently (顺从地) w
82、ent back to the lake. This time he found that the lake had absolutely clear water in it. The mud had settled down and the water above it looked fit to be had. So he collected some water in a pot and brought it to the Buddha.The Buddha looked at the water, and then he looked up at the follower and sa
83、id, “See, you let the water be and the mud settled down on its own. You got clear water. It didnt require any effort”.Our mind is also like that. When it is disturbed, just let it be. Give it a little time and it will settle down on its own. You dont have to put in any effort to calm it down. We can
84、 judge and best decisions of our life when we stay calm.1.Why did Buddha asked his follower to collect water?A.Because they were travelling.B.Because they were passing a river.C.Because Buddha was too tired to go on.D.Because Buddha wanted a drink.2.What does the underlined word “it” in the third pa
