There lived the sage(圣人) that he was looking for.With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boys visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours time. “However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and dont let the oil spill.”The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You cant trust a man if you dont know his house.”Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”21.

During his s econd round of wandering, the young man appreciated the wonders of the castle D. The young man was too concerned about the oil when he first went around the castle22. Why did the sage ask the young man to go around his castle with a spoon of two drops of oil? A. Because he wanted to find out whether the young man was perseverant（坚持不懈的）inaccomplishing his goals.B. Because he intended to let the young man know that happiness came at a price.C. Because he wanted to help the young man to uncover the secret of happiness in an indirect way.D.

Because it occurs at so many different levels, child behavior that seems simple at one level can often be much more complex and meaningful at another.For instance, a little childs pattern of getting into cupboards, drawers and closed rooms, even after being told not to, is easily considered as bad behavior. When viewed at that level, the pattern is unacceptable and could lead to punishment. But it can be viewed at a more complex and meaningful level, namely child exploration. If a child regularly experiences an angry parent who seems determined to prevent any exploratory activities, the child will decide to continue to achieve future discoveries. When parents view this behavior as born out of natural curiosity rather than simple opposition, they are more likely to accept and appropriately monitor it. Although it may lead to warning responses to ensure the childs safety, it is less likely to lead to punishment.There are countless other examples. Holding a goldfish outside its bowl is foolish at one level but also can be seen as a young childs attempt to express physical affection for a pet. Spending time with friends rather than family is selfish at one level but also indicates a teens need for independence.The point here is that child behavior is often exhibited in simple forms that can be oppositional（对抗的）, selfish or generally unacceptable if viewed only at that basic level. However, when viewed at a more meaningful level, the same apparently simple behavior can be seen as something larger and potentially more adaptive. This doesnt mean the behavior should be ignored, especially if it is inappropriate. But looking at the bigger picture of a childs behavior, adults might gain a fuller understanding of what theyre dealing with, which can create more flexibility（灵活性） in how they respond.28. According to Paragraph 1, we can know that child behavior _.A. occurs at different levels B. is very changeableC. is inacceptable D. is fully understood by adults29. The examples in the Paragraph 2 mainly shows that _.A. parents should properly punish child behaviorB. there are different attitudes to child behaviorC. childrens behavior shows their interestsD. parents should keep their childrens safety in mind30. It can be inferred from Paragraph 3 that _ .A. child behavior reflects a childs needB. children spending time with friends show their selfishnessC. what a child does can mean differently when seen from different aspectsD. children tend to do something to show their dependence to their parents31. What does the writer suggest parents should do with a childs behavior?A. Have a positive attitude towards it. B. Ignore the improper behavior.C. View it at the basic level. D. Watch over it from head to foot.DCarri Kessler and her husband Will named their daughter Ottilie after a friend from the U. K, who helped them a lot. However, right after their baby girl was born, the couple noticed a big problem. “No one could remember her name and no one could pronounce it. Were going to keep having to introduce her!” Kessler told T.The situation then grew worse as Kesslers grandmother admitted to sticking Post-It notes around the house to help remind her of Ot tilies name which can be pronounced either Ott-ill-ee or Oh-TEEL-ya. Three months after Ottilie was born, the Kesslers have decided to legally change their daughters name. The couple came up with two possible names. They then settled on Margot after talking to a name expert.The Kesslers situation is not uncommon as an increasing number of parents experience the same as the Kesslers. According to Baby Center Canada, 11% of its users wish they could change their childrens names due to being over popular, mispronounced or simply unfitting. Parents care a lot more and think a lot more about names now than their parents.To deal with this, a number of name experts now offer services to help parents choose the right name. Couples have also sought help from the Internet to choose their babyname. However, parents can change their childs name in the event that they regret their choice. In Canada, the rules vary in each province. For instance, in Ontario, the child must have lived in the province for the past 12 months, or since birth if under the age of one. Each of the childs legal guardians (监护人) must also give permission.32. Why did Kessler and her husband name their daughter Ottilie?A. It was very special and unusual. B. It was at the request at their mother.C. It was recommended by a name expert. D. It could remind them of their British friend.33. Whats the function of the example about the Kesslers?A. To ask for advice on their situation.B. To introduce the topic of the text.C. To show the background of the text. D. To stress the importance of a suitable name.34. What can we learn from the third paragraph?A. The Kesslers experience is no exception.B. Unfitness is the main reason for changing names.C. 11% of Canadians are unsatisfied with their babiesnames.D. Parents always pay more attention to childrens names.35. What is the main idea of the text?A. Rules for name change. B. Ways to name babies.C. Baby name regret. D. A couples anxiety. 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。It can be definitely terrifying to fall through ice on a frozen lake. _36_In fact, there is more time to help you survive than you think.As you first hit t he freezing water, you will almost breathe quickly at once.
