When I was a boy, I belonged to the Boy Scouts(童子军),so I used to go camping every summer, and once something happened which I have never been able to explain.
We were camping in a place above a river. After arriving, we all rushed down to the river and had a swim. Standing by the river, we noticed that it was surrounded by cliffs (悬崖).If someone wanted to reach the river at this point, he had to walk past our camp.
Several days later, the scoutmaster had to be away for a day. That afternoon, we had supper early. We were sitting round the fire, eating and talking, when a man walked past and went down towards the river. We all felt that this man looked very strange, but, because each of us was afraid of looking very stupid, no one said anything.
We ate rather slowly, taking as long as possible. After finishing, we collected our plates together so that we could take them to the river where we always washed them.  But no one moved towards the river, we stood looking at each other ashamed. Then all shouting at once, we began talking about the man who had walked past us. We agreed how strange he looked and we wondered what he could be doing by the river. We knew that he could only return by passing through our camp.
An hour passed. Then one of the boys suggested we should creep(悄悄移动)down by the river so that we could see what the man was doing. Moving very slowly and keeping in the shadow, we crept down towards the bank. One boy climbed a tree so that he could see everything clearly. He called to us that there was no one there, so we ran down to the bank, looking everywhere carefully. We could not understand where the man had gone.
When it got dark, we went back to our camp feeling bewildered. We told the scoutmaster what had happened in the evening. Smiling, he doubted that we had seen the man, but finally suggested we go and look again. We did, but there was no one there.
Many years have passed, but I still remember it as if it were yesterday. What did we see? I do not know.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England,an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?”
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically
The first two times we met, David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children's drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon-in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It’s your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one-without any words-can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.
小题1:When he first met the author, David    .
A.felt a little excitedB.walked energetically
C.looked a little nervousD.showed up with his teacher
小题2:As a psychologist, the author    .
A.was ready to listen to David
B.was skeptical about psychology
C.was able to describe David's problem
D.was sure of handling David's problem
小题3:David enjoyed being with the author because he________.
A.wanted to ask the author for advice
B.need to share sorrow with the author
C.liked the children’s drawings in the office
D.bear the author many times in the chess game
小题4:What can be inferred about David?
A.He recovered after months of treatment.
B.He liked biking before he lost his family.
C.He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D.He got friends in school before he met the author.
小题5:What made David change?
A.His teacher’s help.
B.The author’s friendship.
C.His exchange of letters with the author.
D.The author’s silent communication with him.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list anything in our past that we felt   16  of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very   17  process, but there's always some brave soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then   18  that we find ways to   19  people, or take some action to right any wrongdoings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever   20  my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my   21 , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff none of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies(老兄) and I decided to play a   22  on him.”
“After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a FOX. The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious   23 . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one   24  found out.”
"Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name   25  on my list. I didn't even know if he was still   26 . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.  I tried his number. After a few   27  , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused “Yes”. “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a   28  discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you because your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it around all these years. I want to thank you for calling me … for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to   29   all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to   30  the past wrongdoings.

It was already dark when an old man came to a small town. He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”
“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”
