If not, plea

27、se take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way. Its never a wise idea to believe that the family member who was good at the job of map-reading knows where the family is. You can tell by the troubled look on their faces that nothing on the ground seems to

28、 match the map. Never mind. The sun is shining and its still morning. If you dont know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but youll need to be patient. Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its shadow(a dark shape on a surface that is made w

29、hen something stands between a light and the surface). Try to position the stick as vertically(垂直)as you can. You can check this by making a simple plumb line(铅锤线). You havent got one? OK, use a thread(线) from your clothes with a button(纽扣) tied at the end to act as a weight. Mark the end of the sha

30、dow cast(投射) by the stick. Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again. Keep doing this until you have made several marks. The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south. Pick

31、 a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick. That point is south of where you are. Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.1To find the direction, we have to be patient probably because _.Ait is not easy to find

32、 a proper stickBit is not easy to position the stickCit takes hours to make the marksDit takes hours to mark the map2The passage would probably be most helpful to _.Athose who draw mapsBthose who get lostCthose who make compassesDthose who do experiments3Which of the following pictures best shows th

33、e way of finding the direction of south?A B C D4The writer presents this passage by _.Atelling an interesting storyBdescribing an activity in a lively wayCtesting an idea by reasoningDintroducing a practical methodD16、Being busy can become a way of life Our lives are always filled with emails and te

34、xt messages They make us feel wanted and important, but in a tiring and empty way Being busy has a dangerous allure（诱惑） If you are busy all the time, its hard to sit quietly with your thoughts or to really feel what youre feeling Whynot let everything become a choice how we spend time, who we reply

38、gh-level strategic decisions with a large effectIts time to end the glory of being busy and spend time setting up processes that make sense, rather than simply working more hours To do this, you need to change yourway of thinking Its cool to say youre busy, but its better to be busy helping someone

39、carry a stroller up the subway stairs or busy finishing a bookHow to free us from the trendof being busy? Start with small steps For one day, be mindful of every daily activity Consider each thing a choice and decide proactively（预先）if its necessary or simply a habit you can get rid of or do in half

46、acks of cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cards from Kevin on which he had translated all hisyuckyfeeling into words for me. As I read one of Kevins notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “No-body in this family cares about me. Im not the youngest, and Im not the oldest. Tommy thinks I

47、m silly and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because hes better at basketball. And youre never around to even notice me.”Tears came to my eyes as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and Im sorry I dont always show it . I am here for you and you are loved in this fami

48、ly.”There was no answer for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of words wrote on a torn paper cup. “Thanks.”I wrote back, “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me.” On it.Since then, I try my best to never only half-notice my family
