There lived the sage(圣人) that he was looking for.With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boys visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.He suggested that the young man take a walk around his palace and come back in two hours time. “However, I want to ask you a favor,” he added, banding the boy a teaspoon, in which he poured two drops of oil. “While you walk, carry this spoon and dont let the oil spill.”The young man began to climb up and down the palace staircases, always keeping his eyes fixed on the spoon. At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You cant trust a man if you dont know his house.”Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”24.What was the intention of the young man to travel to look for the sage?A.

The young man was too concerned about the oil when he first went around the castle.26.Why did the sage ask the young man to go around his castle with a spoon of two drops of oil?A. Because he wanted to find out whether the young man was perseverant(坚持不懈的)in accomplishing his goals.B. Because he intended to let the young man know that happiness came at a price.C. Because he wanted to help the young man to uncover the secret of happiness in an indirect way.D. Because he wanted to let the young man trust him.27.What can we learn from the story?A.

They make young people aware of life at an early age. The parents grant them the privilege of teaching the children, and the grandparents take great pride in raising the children or at least having a big part in raising them.Young children often stay with their grandparents for years at a time, developing a close and trusting relationship. The grandparents teach the children Navajo legends and the principle of life, emphasizing both new culture trends and the preservation of traditions.The grandparents are also often the leading figures in teaching the youth the arts of weaving, caring for the livestock, using herbal medicine, and other arts and crafts.The children are taught to respect their elders, to care for them, to help them whenever they are in need, and to learn from them. Young people are urged to listen with care to the words of their elders and to keep as much wisdom as possible. Grandparents often go to social gatherings and traditional events, and the young have opportunities to learn more about their culture and traditions.I live with my grandmother for thirteen years, and she raised me in the old ways of our people. Although I was going to school, she taught me as much as she could about our traditions. She was a beautiful woman. If I had a chance, I would listen again to her wise teachings, expressed with kindness in a soft voice that touched my heart.We used to plant corn and pumpkin every summer. They never grew big enough to feed us, but we planted them anyway. I asked my grandmother why. She said, “Grandson, our plants will be far more beautiful than the flowers outside the fence.” I did not understand until one day I saw their beauty as I was coming over the hill with her. She said, “Anything that is a part of you is always far more beautiful than the things which you pass by.” We had some beautiful years together. I am glad she is a part of me and I am a part of her.Children used to be well disciplined, possessing more respect for culture, tradition, and beliefs than they do now. The world of the Navajo has been influenced by the western world, and the grandparents have less control and influence than they used to. But the young people who have been touched by their teachings have glimpsed a way of life beyond what most people know today.28.What can we learn from Paragraph 1?A. Parents hate to take the trouble to raise children.B. Schools are not very popular with the Navajo youth.C. Grandparents are usually unwilling to teach their grandchildren.D. Children learn about the meaning of life from their grandchildren.29.Why did the authors grandmother plant corn and pumpkin?A. Because she hated wild flowers.B. Because she needed to feed her family.C. Because she tried to make her fence more beautiful.D. Because she wanted her grandson to learn a life lesson.30.Whats the authors opinion according to the passage?A. Grandparents are the source of traditional culture.B. His grandmothers teaching could replace schooling.C. The western world is hardly influenced by the Navajos.D. It is impossible to get grandparents involved in teaching again.31.Whats the purpose of the article?A. To honor the authors grandmother.B. To share with readers a Navajo culture.C. To emphasize the greatness of Navajo.D. To introduce the development of Navajo tribes.D Nasr Majid started hunting this fall at Blackwater National Wildlife RefUge (保护区) on the Eastern Shore of Maryland in USA. Hes one of the relatively few new hunters who officials hope will help stop a nearly four-decade decline nationally in what has become a hobby for fewer than 5 percent of Americans.Natural resources and wildlife officials in Maryland are encouraging hunting of deer, turkeys and some other wild animals, which is believed to be good for the environment. Without hunting, they say, sika deer will overpopulate the wildlife reflige and theyll overeat the bushes and other plants that provide important habitat for birds. On the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay, hunting is also important to prevent the spread of diseases such as Lyme.In many families, the hunting tradition has been handed down for generations. But as longtime sportsmen age and children lose interest, the number of hunters in the United States fell by 2 million, from 2011 to 2018, to about 11 million.“Everything is changing. Kids are growing up in front of video games and computers instead of going hunting.” said Chris Markin, a hunting specialist for the state natural resources department. “Adults usually focus on working and providing for their families. Those pressures are preventing many other potential hunters from going out, and from raising the next generation of hunters.”To avoid such a decline, a new approach is needed. Government agencies and nonprofit groups are now launching mentoring (指导) programs to train more hunters, which not only helps preserve an industry and a culture but also means more protection for wildlife and their habitats through deer population control and investment.Luckily, there are those still eager to learn, like Majid. He was just looking for an outdoor hobby he could share with his children when he came across the mentorship program. Now, he feels capable of hunting on his own, but also has someone he can text with questions that pop up. His new pastime has already paid off for him on his second hunt with his mentor, in the last minutes of daylight, he bagged his first deer.32.What can be inferred from Chris Markins words?A. The hunting tradition is facing challenges.B. No one is interested in hunting any more.C. Parents fail to spend enough time with kids.
