As I looked 22 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around two years old, 23 freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short 24 . The boy had a big smile on his face 25 he had just been set free from some sort of 26 . The boy would then fall to the grass, 27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could again, still with a 28 on his face.

Kids, when they fall down, don't view their falling down as failure, but 29 , they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 30 . While I was touched by the boy's persistence, I was 31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 32 and so natural — no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 34 — just being himself—being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 35 or was not worrying about whether 36 was watching. He didn't seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him 37 and that it would be 38 if he did fall. No, all that 39 to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely.

三、阅读理解

Americans often plan social gatherings（社交聚会）on short notice, so don’t be surprised if you get invited to someone’s home or to see a movie or baseball game without much warning. If the time is convenient (方便) for you, surely accept their invitation. But if you’re busy, don’t be afraid to decline the invitation, perhaps suggesting a time that would be better. Your host won’t be shamed.

Invitations are usually sent in person or over the telephone. The main exception(例外) is for some formal occasions, in which case a written invitation will be mailed. You would normally receive a written invitation to a wedding(婚礼).

For a casual(不正式的)dinner invitation, don’t arrive more than 5 minutes early, because your host may still be preparing for your visit. Arriving more than 10 minutes late is considered rude if very few people were invited. If many people were invited, it’s OK to arrive a little late, even as much as half an hour late. For example, it’s OK to arrive late for a party, for a potluck (家常便饭) dinner or for a social gathering inviting a large group of people.

If you’re invited for dinner, it’s proper to bring the host a bottle of wine, a gift basket of fruit, a box of candy (糖果), or a bouquet(束)of flowers. Don’t bring roses, as men often give roses to women on a date (约会).

If you wish to thank the host for his or her hospitality (好客), it’s right to call or send a brief (简单的) written thank-you note the next day.

41．The passage is to tell us ________.

A. how to accept Americans’ invitations.

B. something about American social visits.

C. something about American business visits.

D. how to make a living in America.

A. accept B. receive C. refuse D. follow

A. 7:15p.m. B. 7:35p.m. C. 7:45p.m. D. 7:55p.m.

44．In America, invitations to a wedding are often sent ________.

A. by mail B. by fax C. by e-mail D. over the telephone

45．According to the passage, in American ________.

A. if you’re invited to a family as a guest, you can stay as long as you please.

One morning in Philadelphia, the sun shone bright through all the thick jungles and the tall churches. John, 6, wearing the worn-out clothes, walked from a far place, his dark small hands holding a piece of stolen bread.

John stopped for a moment at the entrance to the church and then left tightly holding the bread,

He was an orphan(孤儿), whose parents were killed in World War II leaving him alone in the orphanage for five years, Like many children in the house, he had a lot of free time. Mostly no one took care of them, so they had to learn how to steal those they wanted.

John believed God to be real, so every Sunday morning in any case he would go to the church to have a look and listen to those people singing inside or reading the Bible. He felt only at this moment he was the child of God and so close to God. But he couldn’t enter because his clothes were so dirty. John himself knew it.

John was quietly calculating the times. This was his 45th Sunday at the entrance to the church. He stood on tiptoe（踮着脚尖） for a while and walked away.

As time passed, the pastor(牧师) noticed John and learned from others that he was the small boy who liked st
