阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（ABCD）中，选出最佳答案

A

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”

That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better.

Your eyes can tell you that 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 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 “Don’t 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, such as food, clothes and so on. 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 bad 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 every thing on show. If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you’ll really see!”

21. By touching things _______.

A. you will have a strange feeling B. you will learn how to reach out

C. you can tell the difference between them D. you can tell what colors they are

22. Which of the following can be the best title of the story?

A. Touching by Feeling B. To See or to Feel

C. To See Better — Feel D. Ways of Feeling

23. When people buy things in shops, they often _______.

A. try them on first B. put their right hand on them

C. just has a look D. feel and touch them

24. Why does it say, “At first, it is not easy to feel these things?”

A. The things are used by people, too. B. People are used to the things.

C. People know how to use the things. D. The things are easy to feel.

25. Which of the following is true?

A. Touching can help people learn things better.

B. Our feet, fingers, hands and skin can help us enjoy music.

C. People have to learn to see by feeling as they grow up.

D. Visitors cannot feel the things on show in some museums.

B

Down-to-earth means being honest, open, and easy to deal with. It is a pleasure to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to. He or she accepts others as equals. A down-to-earth person may be an important member of society, of course, but they do not let their importance go to their heads, and they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. Someone who is filled with self-importance and pride, often without cause, is said to have his nose in the air. There is no way a person with his nose in the air can be down-to-earth.

Americans use another expression that is similar in some way to down-to-earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality. He has what is called common sense. He may have dreams but he does not allow them to block his knowledge of what is real. The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. A man with his head in the clouds is a dreamer whose mind is not in the world. Sometimes such a dreamer can be brought back to reality; sharp words from the teacher, for example, can usually get a daydreaming student to put both feet back on the ground.

The person who is down-to-earth usually has both feet on the ground. But the opposite is not always true. Someone with both feet on the ground may not be as open and easy to deal with as someone who is down-to-earth. When we have both our feet firmly on the ground, we are realistic and we act honestly and openly toward others, and our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

26．If a person has his nose in the air, he ____.?

A. is confident???????????????????????????B. is easy to deal with

C. is down to the earth D. always thinks he is more important than others???

27．The underlined sentence “But the opposite is not always true.” most probably means that ______.

A. the person who has his nose in the air is not true

B. a man with his head in the clouds is often not intelligent

C. the opposite direction is always wrong

D. a person who has both feet on the ground may not be down-to-earth

28．From the passage, we can infer the person who is_____ is the most popular kind of person.

A. down-to-earth B. standing on the ground

C. with his nose in the air D. with his head in the clouds
