The monkeys called after him, Happy New Year!The next day, the monkeys filled up the buckets, and began watering the young trees and plants. Then the king of the monkeys addressed them,It is not good to waste water. Therefore, pull up each young tree or plant before watering. Inspect（检查）it to see how long the roots（根）are. Then give more water to the ones with long roots, and less water to the ones with short roots. That way we will not waste water, and the gardener will be pleased!Without a second thought, the other monkeys followed their kings orders.Meanwhile, a wise man was walking by the garden. He saw the monkeys pulling up all the lovely young trees and plants, measuring their roots, and carefully pouring water into the holes in the ground. He said, Oh foolish monkeys, what do you think youre doing to the kings beautiful garden?They answered, We are watering the trees and plants, without wasting water!

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell (辨别) the difference between two coins in your pocket. You can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music. All children soon learn what Dont touch! means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet. There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them! Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, Do touch! There you can feel everything on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see! 8.

DMy husband, my four-month-old daughter and I set out on a five-day driving journey from California to Washington. We had to stop frequently because our little child needed to stretch from the car seat.One of our stops, once we crossed the Oregon border, was at a Black Bear Diner. Walking towards the front door we noticed a gentleman standing at one side. He was clearly untidy, without shoes and wearing worn clothing. We passed right by him and opened the restaurant door.

Are you hungry?” He said, “Yes.” I then asked, “May we buy you something to eat?” He responded with, “Sure, I can order something myself.”My husband opened the door and the gentleman went straight to the counter. I told him to order whatever he wanted. The manager of the restaurant came over quite quickly and looked frightened. I spoke before he had an opportunity to say anything. “This gentleman will have lunch with us today,” I said. “Please add his order to our bill.” The manager said with a frown(皱眉), “Okay.” We turned to our table and the gentleman said, loudly and quickly, “Thank You!” We were seated and upon pleting our meal we were handed our bill. I asked my husband what the gentleman had ordered. One fresh orange juice, one coffee, one breakfast bination with a side of hash browns.When we left the restaurant I looked for the gentleman but didnt see him, but that very small act just made my day.

Sometimes, though, they can be difficult to say. 16 Its not about winning.Friendship arent like the Super Bowl, and there should never be a winner and a loser. When you start fighting with a friend, it may feel important that you “win” the fight by proving（证明）youre right and he is wrong, or by making him be the first to apologize（道歉）. 17 You may have heard the expression “His pride（骄傲）stood in the way.” It is usually used to describe a person who is so determined（意志坚定）to be “right” that he lets an opportunity（机会）for happiness pass him by forever. 18 Remember: as time goes on, we usually forget who was right and who was wrong in a disagreement, and only remember the sadness of losing a friend. Take the first step.Are you sick of fighting? Do you think this fight is just not important enough to ruin（毁灭）your friendship? 19 You dont have to take full responsibility（责任）for starting the fight, or even say that your feelings were wrong. But you should find something you did or said thats worth apologizing for. Maybe youre sorry that you let the fight go for so long, of that you overreacted（反应过度）to something your friend did. If you say you are sorry, its like an invitation for your friend to do the same. 20 A. Stop thinking about your pride.B. Then try to be the first to apologize.C. Its about taking some responsibility for the argument.D. Once youve both said it, youll both feel a million times better. E. There are some special cases when you shouldnt be the one to apologize first.F. Here are some things to keep in mind.G. Dont let this happen to a friendship you care about.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第1节 ：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）Last week I was in the boarding（登机）area of the airport excited about my Christmas trip home to see my parents.
