A

Future history books might record that we were robbed of the use of our eyes .In our hurry to get from one place to another, we fail to see anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird’s –eye view of the world ---or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way. When you travel by car or train , you are moving so quickly that you do not see the countryside clearly , Car drivers are forever thinking about going on and on; they never want to stop, Is it the great motorways ,that attract them, or what? And as for sea travel ,it hardly deserves mention ,It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song：“I joined the navy to see the world ,and what did I see? I saw the sea”. You mention the place names in the world like EI Dorado, Kabul and someone is sure to say“I’ve been there’meaning ,‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.”

When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing :you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival ,when it is achieved , is meaningless .You want to move on again . By traveling like this, you suspend （中止）all experience; the present stops being a reality：you might just as well be dead.

The traveler on foot, on the other hand , lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical tiredness. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.

41、The underlined words “get in your way”in Paragraph I can be replaced, by .

A、block your sights B、expend your range of vision

C、prevent you from going out of the plane halfway D、make your travel continue

42、What does the author think of the travelers mentioned in Paragraph 1?

A、They get a good view of the landscape

B、They make full use of their eyes

C、They fail to see the scenery with their heart

D、They are eager to see everything on the way.

43、Why does “the present”mean “nothing ”when we travel at high speeds?

A、Because we change our aims all the time

B、Because we are eager to go to another place

C、Because we are looking forward to the future life

D、Because we cannot enjoy the experience we have had

44、What will the author most probably advise us to do?

A、To go hiking in the mountain B、To travel at a high speed

C、To travel by car or train D、To go around the world

45、What would be the best title for the passage?

A、Different travelers B、The use of eyes

C、Ways of traveling D、True traveling

It was the beginning of the school year a few years ago and I had a little boy in my class who came from a non – English speaking home. He was very quiet and shy. I wasn’t sure how much he understood during the school day and I was especially concerned that he just stood by himself at break time and did not play. If I tried to talk to him , he would turn away and tightly shut his eyes to hide from me.

After a day or two of this, I decided to seek the help from one of my outgoing and friendly little girls. I called her over and she ran to me , ready to help.

I immediately began a long speech about what I needed from her, I asked her if she would try to get him to play, and I started talking quickly about all these suggestions on how she could start communication with him . I explained she could do that , she could try this idea, she could try that idea, “Don’t worry, I speak kid” And she ran off.

I stood there all alone, silently watching her. It took less than a minute for the two new friends to urn off, hand in hand , happily joining a game of tag （捉人游戏）taking place all over the gym.

I often think of that small moment, about what I learned and how important it is for all teachers to speak kid --- big kid, little kid and middle kid . I know my focus must be on teaching students how to think , how to approach problems ,and how to figure out s
