Surrounded by the towns of Davidson, Huntersville and Cornelius, Lake Norman is a man-made lake. It is also the largest lake in the state covering a shoreline of more than 500 miles. State Park on the lake gives a chance for different water activities.

People, both tourists and locals, come to the area on weekends, where during the peak season a large crowd arrives to relax and have fun. A great activity for kids is education except fun. The tour covers aquatic(水生的) life, especially that seen at Lake Norman. Since it is more of an educational one it also covers other important knowledge about water.

Those wanting to go boating are seen off into the lake on canoes and pedal boats which are rented on hourly basis. The charges are $5 per hour increased by $3 for every additional(附加的) hour. The boats can be kept on the lake all day from 10 in the morning till 5 in the evening during the summers. Both canoes and pedal boats can seat 2 to 4 people.

The park also set up a group tent camp, where a site can hold about 25 people. People from all over the country come here to catch some fishing action, obviously hoping to catch some fish as well. The inner park lake is also great for fishing, though it offers a smaller area compared to Lake Norman. Those here for adventure like to go for biking and hiking on the trails inside the park.

Lake Norman is a great place to spend time with family and friends. People come here on vacation or simply to kick back after a week’s work and relax.

It was a hot, sticky (闷热的)summer day in Texas and I was surrounded by laundry, loads of baby clothes all over the floor.I folded a towel, tears streaming down my face.My newborn Dillon, just a few weeks old, was sleeping peacefully beside me.My 4­year­old Tanner was watching “Ninja Turtles”，laughing at the TV screen.

Meanwhile I was exhausted, with dark circles under my eyes and clothes dirty.I loved my baby boys more than anything.But this wasn't the life I'd pictured for myself.I was only 27 years old.Once upon a time, I'dhad dreams.I'd wanted to become a good journalist　 (记者)and photographer, not a stay­at­home mom, whose sleep was taken away, spent her days changing diapers (尿布)．I kept on folding...and the tears kept coming.What about my dreams and future?

The word　 “this is the most important job in the world” spread and I nearly dropped the towel I was folding.I looked around, but saw nobody there.Later I realized the voice must have come from the TV.I calmed down.I'd never thought a house­woman's job was the most important job in the world.I put the laundry aside, carried Tanner up in my arms and hugged him tight.From that day on, I was willing to do my housework and I made motherhood my top priority (优先考虑的事)even when I　 returned　 to　 the　 workforce　 as　 a journalist　 and photographer.

Of course, it wasn't all fun and games raising three children, especially after I gave birth to my third son, Noah.Anyhow, the laundry still gave me great joy to watch my children grow healthily.Now Noah is about to enter high school.And Tanner and Dillon both have become kind, courageous young men and graduated from the key colleges.Today I think raising a child is the most rewarding job.

高一英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析

I watched the two of them, both one year old, on the floor, surrounded by candy. He crawled on his hands while she sat there looking at birthday dress. The colourful fishier pinata(彩罐)had just been broken and the candy littered the ground. Both of their kids were too young to realise that they were sitting, and crawling around in a collection of wrapped sugar goodies. They were surrounded with edible(可食用的)goodies but had no clue!

Suddenly I saw the life metaphor(比喻). If we are the “babies” and the candy is “opportunity”, often we don’t recognise it because the opportunity comes wrapped as hard work. We may not give the wrapper the time of day, unless we realise that inside there’s a piece of delicious candy.

Every tree starts as a seed. Every person who becomes well-known was once someone nobody “knew”. So what changed for these people? Did the world suddenly wake up and find they have the potential to succeed? Of course not. These people worked for long periods of time before they saw any payoff.

It can be disheartening when you’re starting out. There’s a huge learning curve for almost everything. Just when you feel like you’re making rapid progress, you realise there’s more to learn. Every new door opens to a brand-new room, with another door at the end.

When I was in recovery from my eating disorder, there were many opportunities that I didn’t recognise as candy. At first, I didn’t see therapy(治疗)leading anywhere. It was only by going to therapy every week for a year that I was finally able to realise the opportunities. I had the opportunities to examine and adjust my thinking, and to challenge the negative mindsets I had about my life.

When I look back, I find that many of the opportunities that allowed positive growth didn’t always appear easy or fun. They often appeared as something that looked like hard work. But when we focus, consistently show up, and put in hard work, it will result in candy.

1.Why do many people miss their opportunities according to the author?

A.Their hard work fails to pay off.

B.They don’t work hard consistently.

C.They haven’t realised their potential.

D.They don’t value their opportunities.

2.What does the author think of the learning process according to Paragraph 4?

A.It is often interesting for most people.

B.It is often long and hard for most people.

C.You can speed it up with the help of others.

D.You can predict your progress from its start.

3.How did the author’s eating disorder affect emotionally?

A.She lacked hope for her life sometimes.

B.She was unwilling to do therapy at first.

C.She refused to change her eating habits.

D.She liked eating candy very much.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A.Power of Positive Thinking

B.Candy and Achievements

C.Hard Work Leads to Success

D.Opportunities Come Candy-wrapped
