While I was waiting for my wife outside her office building, I saw a beggar (乞丐) coming to me.

"I hope he won't ask me for any money," I thought.

He didn't. He came and sat in front of the bus stop, but it seemed that he didn't have enough money to take the bus. "That's a pretty car," he said after a few minutes, pointing to my car. I gave him a smile and went on cleaning my car. He sat there quietly as I worked. "Do you need any help?" I asked. "Don't we all?" he said. The three simple words surprised me and I should never forget. I was feeling successful and important. above a beggar in the street, until those three words hit me like a gun (枪).

Don't we all? I needed help, maybe not for money or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I gave him some money not only enough for a bus, but enough to get a warm meal and a place to sleep.

One day, while I was waiting for my father, I saw a little boy about two years old. He was running freely on the grass as his mother watched near him. The boy had a big smile on his face. The boy then fell to the grass, got up without looking back at his mother and ran as fast as possible. It seemed that nothing had happened to him.

At that moment, I thought to myself, “Why aren’t most adults (成年人) this way?” When most adults fall, they would be so embarrassed (尴尬的) that they would not make a second attempt if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good reason for themselves that they’re not fit for it. They would give up trying again for fear of failure.

However, when kids fall, they don’t regard (认为) their falling down as a failure. Instead, they regard it as a learning experience. They try again and again until　 they succeed. The answer must be that they have not connected (联系) “falling down” with the word “failure”. What’s more, they may think to themselves that it’s quite normal to fall down and that it’s right to do so. In other words, they are not frightened of making mistakes, so they stay active.

I was deeply moved by the boy’s persistence (坚持不懈).

1.What did the little boy do when he fell down?

A.He cried and lay on the grass B.He asked his mother for help

C.He got up and went on running D.He got up and stood there crying

2.In the writer’s opinion (观点), what might the little boy treat his falling as?

A.A failure. B.A joke.

C.An interesting game. D.A learning experience.

3.According to the writer, why can’t many adults succeed?

A.Because they are afraid of being embarrassed

B.Because they can’t find a good reason for themselves

C.Because once they fail, they won’t try again

D.Because they are not afraid to make mistakes

4.The underlined word “attempt” in Paragraph 2 means________.

A.尝试 B.放弃 C.面对 D.怀疑

5.What does the writer want to tell us?

A.Practice makes perfect. B.Failure is the mother of success.

C.One tree can’t make a forest. D.Each coin has two sides.

One afternoon I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop (不停) between themselves. I watched them a moment and found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired (赞赏) the husband for putting up with her continuous (持续的) talk. Distracted (分心) by their noise, I moved on.

I met with them many times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous talk, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter (柜台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white thing. He extended (展开) it into a long stick and then tapped (敲打) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man.” The salesman at the counter said, “Most of us would give up (放弃) if we were blind (瞎的) at such a young age. But he said his life wouldn’t change during his recovery (恢复). So, as before, he and his wife come in when there’s a new art show.”

“But how does he enjoy the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”

“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something from the couple that day. I saw a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight (视力) and a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

1.The young couple was at an art museum ________.

A. to show their love　　 B. to enjoy art　　 C. to discuss paintings　　 D. to describe paintings

2.“…I moved away quickly.” in Paragraph 3 shows that the writer _______.

A. was in the hope of visiting more rooms　　 B. was in a hurry to buy some gifts

C. knew nothing about art　　 D. completely depended on (完全依靠) his wife

4.After hearing what the clerk said about the couple, the writer was _______.
