The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old tree， with good reason to frown， for the world was intended to drag me down． At this time， a boy approached me． He stood right before me， and said with great excitement， "Look what I found!" In his hand was a flower， and what a pitiful sight， with its petals （花瓣） all worn． Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play， I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side． But instead of leaving， he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared， "It really smells pretty and it's beautiful， too． That's why I picked it． Here， it's for you．" The flower before me was dying or dead． But I knew I must take it， or he might never leave． So I reached for the flower， and replied， "Just what I need．" But instead of placing the flower in my hand， he held it in mid-air． It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind． I heard my voice quiver （轻微颤抖）， and at the same time my tears shone like the sun． As I thanked him for picking the very best one， he smiled and said， "You're welcome．" And then he ran off to play， unaware of the impact he'd had on me． I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old tree． Perhaps from his heart， he'd been blessed with true sight． Through the eyes of the blind boy， I could see the problem was not with the world； the problem was me． And for all of those times I had been blind． From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that's mine． Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy． 【1】When she sat down to read on the bench， the author ______ ． A.felt relaxed and peaceful B.felt upset and unhappy with her life C.wanted to have a friend keeping her company D.felt proud to have overcome the difficulties in life 【2】The author decided to take the flower at first because ______ ． A.she was really moved by the boy B.she didn't want to hurt the young boy C.she thought the flower was really beautiful D.she didn't like being bothered by the boy any more 【3】Which of the following can best describe the boy？ ______ A.Kind and optimistic． B.Independent and active． C.Handsome and intelligent． D.Warmhearted and sensitive． |

House Sitting In many countries of the world people do what is called house sitting. It means that if owners of the house are going away, they want someone to come into their home and look after the house and maybe pets while they are away. In Australia, many people travel. After people retire, they might buy a van and travel all over the country. 【1】 So if someone wants to travel or go away for some reason, they might want someone in their home to care for it and keep the gardens tidy. House sitters might have to care for pets. Also, quite a few people have swimming pools in their back yard and they need cleaning.【2】 I feel it is a great way of seeing the country, because you go and stay in a new city, get to meet new people, and have time to go sightseeing in a new area. 【3】 There are websites where you find the advertisements by people who want to travel, and by replying to the advertisement, you can make arrangements to go and look after their home. There are some requirements to be a house sitter. You must be a trusted person, so that the home owner knows you will not steal anything. You must be able to go when the house owner wants you to go, so you need lots of free time.【4】 You need to be good with pets, able to care for cats and dogs, or other pets they may have. Some house sitting jobs are just for a few days or a couple of weeks while the house owners have a short holiday. Sometimes it is for much longer. We have had one house sit for six months, while the home owner travelled to Europe. 【5】 Then you can travel to many different countries and stay there. One of the important things to get is references from the home owners where you have stayed. A reference is a written letter to say that you are trustworthy and have looked after their home well. You can show these letters to possible house sitting jobs and they know you will do a good job. A. I have done house sitting many times. B. Thousands of people do this all the time. C. It is also possible to do house sitting in other countries. D. Generally you have many opportunities to get a house sitting job. E. You must take a little care over what your description says about you. F. This is an international house sitting service for all city and country areas.
