In 1943, when I was 4, my parents mved frm Ceur d'Alene, Idah, t Fairbanks, Alaska, where adventure was never very far away.
We arrived in the summer, just in time t enjy the midnight sun. All that sunlight was fantastic fr Mm's vegetable garden. Wrking in the garden at midnight tended t thrw her timing ff, s she didn't care much abut my bedtime.
Dad was a Railway Express agent and Mm was his clerk (职员). That left me in a mess. I usually managed t find sme truble t get int. Once I had a little fire ging in the dirt basement f a htel.

Fr thse wh study the develpment f intelligence (智力) in the animal wrld, self - awareness is an imprtant measurement. An animal that is aware f itself has a high level f intelligence.
Awareness can be tested by studying whether the animal recgnizes itself in the mirrr, that is, its wn reflected image. Many animals fail this exercise bitterly, paying very little attentin t the reflected image. Only humans, and sme intelligent animals like apes (类人猿) and dlphins, have been shwn t recgnize that the image in the mirrr is f themselves.
Nw anther animal has jined the club. In the Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Science, researchers reprt that an Asian elephant has passed the mirrr self - reflectin test.
“We thught that elephants were the next imprtant animal,” said Diana Reiss f the Wildlife Cnservatin Sciety, an authr f the study with Jshua M. Pltnik and Fans B. M. de Waal f Emry University. With their large brains, Reiss said, elephants “seemed like cusins t apes and dlphins.”
The researchers tested Happy, Maxine and Patty, three elephants at the Brnx Z. They put an 8 - ft - square mirrr n a wall f the animals' play area (ut f the sight f z visitrs) and recrded what happened with cameras, including ne built in the mirrr.
The elephants used their lng nses t find what was behind it, and t examine parts f their bdies.
Of the three, Happy then passed the test, in which a clear mark was painted n ne side f her face. She culd tell the mark was there by lking in the mirrr, and she used the mirrr t tuch the mark with her lng nse.
Diana Reiss said, “We knew elephants were intelligent, but nw we can talk abut their intelligence in a better way.”
8. What can mirrr tests tell us abut animals?
A. Whether they enjy utdr exercises.
B. Whether they have large brains.
C. Whether they enjy playing with mirrrs.
D. Whether they have self - awareness.
9. Why des the authr mentin apes and dlphins in the text?
A. They are big favr
B. They are mst familiar t readers.
C. They are already knwn t be intelligent.
D. They are included in the study by Reiss.
10.What made Happy different frm Maxine and Patty?
A. She recgnized her wn image in the mirrr.
B. She fund the hidden camera.
C. She used her nse t search behind the mirrr.
D. She painted a mark n her wn face.
D
Give yurself a test. Which way is the wind blwing? Hw many kinds f wildflwers can be seen frm yur frnt dr? If yur awareness is as sharp (敏锐) as it culd be, yu'll have n truble answering these questins.
Mst f us bserved much mre as children than we d as adults. A child's day is filled with fascinatin (着迷), newness and wnder. Curisity gave us all a natural awareness. But distinctins that were sharp t us as children becme unclear; we are numb (麻木的) t new stimulatin (刺激), new ideas. Relearning the art f seeing the wrld arund us is quite simple, althugh it takes practice and requires breaking sme bad habits.
The first step in awakening senses is t stp predicting what we are ging t see and feel befre it ccurs. This blcks awareness. One cld night when I was hiking in the Rcky Muntains with sme students, I mentined that we were ging t crss a muntain stream. The students began cmplaining abut hw cld it wuld be. We reached the stream, and they unwillingly walked ahead. They were almst knee - deep when they realized it was a ht spring. Later they all admitted they'd felt cld water at first.
Anther blck t awareness is the bsessin (痴迷) many f us have with naming things. I saw bird watchers wh nticed a bird immediately lked it up in field guides, and said, a “ruby - crwned kinglet” and checked it ff. They n lnger paid attentin t the bird and never learned what it was ding.
The pressures f “time” and “destinatin” are further blcks t awareness. I met many hikers wh were headed t a distant camp - grund with just enugh time t get there befre dark. It seldm ccurred t them t walk slwly and take a mment t see what was arund them. I asked them what they'd seen. “Oh, a few birds,” they said. They seemed bent n their destinatins.
Nature seems t unfld t peple wh watch and wait. Next time yu take a walk, n matter where it is, take in all the sights, sunds and sensatins. Wander in this frame f mind and yu will pen a new dimensin (维度) t yur life.
11. Accrding t Paragraph 2, cmpared with adults, children are mre ____.
A. likely t develp unpleasant habits
B. eager t explre the wrld arund them
C. cncerned abut thers' feelings
D. anxius t grw up
12. The bird watchers' behavir shws that they ____.
A. are really fascinated by nature
B. are very patient in their bservatin
C. questin the crrectness f the field guides
D. care nly abut the names f birds
13. Why d the hikers take n ntice f the surrundings during the jurney?
A. They fcus n arriving at the camp in time.
B. The natural beauty isn't attractive t them.
C. They hpe t see beautiful birds at the destinatin.
D. The frest in the dark is dangerus fr them.
14. In the passage, the authr intends t tell us we shuld ____.
A. try ur best t prtect nature
B. pen ur mind t new things and ideas
C. fill ur senses t feel the wnders f the wrld
D. get rid f sme bad habits in ur daily life

Leslie Nielsen's childhd was a difficult ne, but he had ne particular shining star in his life—his uncle, wh was a well - knwn actr. The admiratin and respect his uncle wn inspired Nielsen t make a career (职业) in acting. Even thugh he ften felt he wuld be discvered t be a n - talent, he mved frward, gaining a schlarship (奖学金) t the Neighbrhd Playhuse and making his first televisin appearance a few years later in 1948. Hwever, becming a full - time, successful actr wuld still be an uphill battle fr anther eight years until he landed a number f film rles that finally gt him nticed.
But even then, what he had wasn't quite what he wanted. Nielsen always felt he shuld be ding cmedy (喜剧) but his gd lks and distinguished vice kept him busy in dramatic rles. It wasn't until 1980—32 years int his career—that he landed the rle it wuld seem he was made fr in Airplane. That mvie led him int the secnd half f his career where his cmedic presence alne culd make a mvie a financial (财务的) success even when mvie reviewers wuld nt rate it highly.
Did Nielsen then feel cntent in his career? Yes and n. He was excited t be ding the cmedy that he always felt he shuld d, but even during his last few years, he always had a sense f curisity, wndering what new rle r challenge might be just arund the crner. He never stpped wrking.
Leslie Nielsen's devtin t acting is wnderfully inspiring. He built a hugely successful career with little mre than plain ld hard wrk and determinatin. He shwed us that even a single dream, never given up n, can make fr a remarkable (非凡的) life.
45. Why did Nielsen want t be an actr?
46. What impact did the mvie Airplane have n Nielsen's career?
47. Please decide which part is false in the fllwing statement, then underline it and explain why.
When Nielsen landed a number f film rles that gt him nticed, he thught he gt what he wanted.
48.What is yur dream? What inspiratin d yu get frm Nielsen's stry t achieve it? (In abut 40 wrds )
