    I’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
    My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.
    The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
    From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
    Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.
    小题1:The writer went to Iceland to ______.
    A．enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs
    B．take photos about the region for a book
    C．collect materials for psychological research
    D．challenge the high mountains there
    小题2:During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.
    A．they got lost in the mountain
    B．they were short of food and fuel
    C．they couldn’t see the surroundings clearly
    D．they failed to get in touch with the rescue team
    小题3:From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.
    A．were in despair before they were rescued
    B．stayed in the hut for three days altogether
    C．got sick because of going for ski outside
    D．got rescued immediately the weather turned fine
    小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
    A．The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.
    B．In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.
    C．The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.
    D．Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.

    小题1:B
    小题2:A
    小题3:A
    小题4:D

    William Henry Bragg was born at Westward，Cumberland，on July 2,1862.He was educated at Market Harboroagh Grammar School and afterwards at King William’s College，Isle of Man.Elected as a minor scholar of Trinity College，Cambridge，in 1881，he studied mathematics under the well­known teacher，Dr E．J.Routh.He studied physics in the Cavendish Laboratory during a part of 1885，and at the end of that year he was elected to the Professorship of Mathematics and Physics in the University of Adelaide，South Australia.
    His research interests dealt with a great many fields and he was skilled at picking up a subject，almost casually，making an important contribution，and then dropping it again.However，the work of Bragg and his son Lawrence in 1913～1914 founded a new branch of science of the greatest importance and significance，the analysis of the crystal structure by means of X­rays.It is true that the use of X­rays as an instrument for the systematic revelation of the way in which crystals are built was entirely due to the Braggs.This was recognized by the award of the Nobel Prize jointly to father and son in 1915.
    He was an honorary Doctor of some sixteen universities，and a member of the leading foreign societies.Many other medals and awards were bestowed upon him among which may be mentioned the Rumford Medal in 1916 and the Copley Medal (its premier award) in 1930.
    He was the author of many books，including Studies in Radioactivity，X­Rays and Crystal Structure，The World of Sound，Concerning the Nature of Things，Old Trades and New Knowledge，An Introduction to Crystal Analysis，and The Universe of Light.His favorite hobby was golf.After a life of astonishing productiveness，Sir William Bragg died on March 10,1942.
    小题1:William Henry Bragg was awarded the Nobel Prize because________.
    A．he succeeded in using X­rays to find out the crystal structure
    B．he was the first to use X­rays to help to do his experiment
    C．he determined to learn everything well and then gave them up
    D．he was successful in his research work with the help of his son
    小题2:According to this passage，William Henry Bragg was interested in all the subjects EXCEPT________.
    A．mathematicsB．physics

    Travis laughed as he tore at the wrapping paper on his birthday present. He was so       ! Finally, he would have the coolest pair of name-brand basketball shoes.
    All the guys on his team were wearing the name-brand shoes of a popular basketball       , Chuck Hart.         Hart was criticized for his poor sportsmanship and infamous      , he was a great player. In fact, Travis wasn't thinking about Hart' s behavior; he had only expected to see Hart’s       on the side of the box. The first indication that something was       came as he tore away the last piece of paper. Not Hart’s. The new shoes were the name-brand of another player, Robert Ryann, who was       for his amazing work in the community.
    Travis’s hands       ; his heart stopped. It wasn't that the Ryann shoes weren’t nice, but what would his friends think ?
    They were the wrong shoes and Travis would be       by the other players. When he looked up into his dad' s eyes, however, Travis decided he      not tell him. "'Thanks, Dad. I was really hoping for shoes," Travis said as he pulled the shoes out of the box.
    Next morning his dad drove him to school. When they       in front of his destination, Travis slowly opened the car door. Just then, his dad stopped him.
    “Hey, Travis, wait a minute, look…” his dad said       ,“Travis, I know those aren’t the shoes you had hoped for, but I saw the names of the two guys and made a（n）      . The guy whose name is on those shoes,” he said, pointing down at Travis’s feet, “is someone I       . Do you know how often Ryann has found himself in      ?”
    “No,” Travis said.
    “Never. He’s never talked back to his coach or started a fight, and he’s a team player. You could have acted like a (n)       when you didn’t get the shoes you wanted, Travis,       you were polite and made the best of it. You have such a good       , like the guy whose name is on these shoes. I’m hoping that someday, your name will be on the coolest pair of shoes I’ll ever see.”
    When Travis looked down at his feet, he saw the shoes       . His dad had used his mind and heart to give the son a thoughtful       .

Her mother bought the necklace for her on condition that she had to do some homework to pay it off. Jenny agreed. She worked very hard every day, and soon Jenny paid off the necklace. Jenny loved it so much that she wore it everywhere except when she was in the shower. Her mother had told her it would turn her neck green!
    Jenny had a very loving daddy. When Jenny went to bed, he would read Jenny her favorite story.
    One night when he finished the story, he said, “Jenny, could you give me your necklace?”

    “Oh no, darling, that’s okay.” Her father brushed her cheek with a kiss. “Good night, little one.

    I am a mom of two young children whom we home-school. This       that they are with me almost constantly. Whenever possible I will       random acts of kindness;       things like paying for the order behind me in the drive-thru lane, holding doors, etc. So, they are very       with the concept and are, of course,       to also do "nice" things for others.
    Just a few days ago we stopped       our local grocery store to pick up a few things which quickly turned into an entire cart load of stuff. We got into one of the two open checkout lanes and waited our      . While waiting a young man came up behind us with only a few       in his basket. I told him to go ahead of us as we were in no      . 
    He seemed very pleasantly surprised and graciously      . As he began putting his items on the belt the clerk began to       her till tape so we had a fairly long wait in line. My kids were very      behaved but they were still children; they asked questions, they talked      , they moved around and they were generally very entertaining. (To me, anyway.) 
    I could see the young man watching and listening with a smile on his face.  
    We were putting our groceries on the       when the clerk finished with       order. What I didn't know was that he had heard my kids       bubble gum. I had agreed they could have some.      , he picked up a pack of bubble-gum and asked the clerk to ring it through twice before putting it back. He then told my kids that he bought their gum       their mom was       enough to let him go ahead in the queue.
    The experience really drove home the       that good begets(产生，引起) good for my lovely little kiddos（亲呢的称呼：小伙子）.

    In 1943, during the Second World War the body of an English man, William Martin, was discovered off the Spanish coast. The papers he had been carrying were returned to England, where they were carefully examined. They had clearly been changed and that was exactly what the British had hoped would happen, for Martin was a trick designed to fool the Germans.
    　 Martin did not exist. The body was that of a sailor who looked as though he had died when his boat sank, but in fact he had been ill and died. Leaving the boat to go down, his parents allowed the dead body to be put into the sea near Spain. It was hoped that the Germans would find it and read the fake(假的)papers he carried.
    　　The papers said that the British would attack the island of Sardinia, when in fact they planned to attack the island of Sicily. The trick was successful. When the British landed on Sicily, most of the heavy German guns had been moved to defend(保卫) Sardinia.
