              Fifteen years ago，I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy．After climbing up a hill for a panoramic（全景的） view of the blue sea，white buildings and green olive trees，I paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama．
              Unfortunately，just as I took out my camera，a woman approached from behind，and planted herself right in front of my view．Like me，this woman was here to stop，sigh and appreciate the view．
              Patient as I was，after about 15 minutes，my camera scanning the sun and reviewing the shot I would eventually take，I grew frustrated．Was it too much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape？Sure，I could have asked her，but something prevented me from doing so．She seemed so content in her observation．I didn't want to mess with that．
              Another 15minutes passed and I grew bored．The woman was still there．I decided to take the photo anyway．And now when I look at it，I think her presence in the photo is what makes the image interesting．The landscape，beautiful on its own，somehow coms to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it．
              This photo，with the unique beauty that unfolded before me and that woman who"ruined"it，now hangs on a wall in my bedroom．What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured（捕捉） and frozen on some stranger's bedroom wall？A bedroom，after all，is a very private space，in which some woman I don't even know has been immortalized（使…永存）．In some ways，she lives in my house．
              Perhaps we all live in each others'space．Perhaps this is what photos are for：to remind us that we all appreciate beauty，that we all share a common desire for pleasure，for connection，for something that is greater than us．
              That photo is a reminder，a captured moment，an unspoken conversation between two women，separated only by a thin square of glass．

              (1) What happened when the author was about to take a photo？ ______
              A. Her camera stopped working．
              B. A woman blocked her view．
              C. Someone asked her to leave
              D. A friend approached from behind．
              (2) According to the author，the woman was probably ______ ．
              A. enjoying herself B. losing her patience
              C. waiting for the sunset D. thinking about her past
              (3) In the author's opinion，what makes the photo so alive？ ______
              A. The rich color of the landscape．
              B. The perfect positioning of the camera．
              C. The woman's existence in the photo．
              D. The soft sunlight that summer day．
              (4) The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand ______ ．
              A. the need to be close to nature
              B. the importance of private space
              C. the joy of the vacation in Italy
              D. the shared passion for beauty
              (5) The passage can be seen as the author's reflections upon ______ ．
              A. a particular life experience
              B. the pleasure of traveling
              C. the art of photography
              D. a lost friendship．

              I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting．But where are we doing all of this waiting，and what does it mean to an impatient society like ours？To understand the issue，let's take a look at three types of"waits"．
              The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait．It is without doubt the most annoying of all．Take filling up the kitchen sink（洗碗池） as an example．There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but keep both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full．During these waits，the brain slips away from the body and wanders about until the water runs over the edge of the counter and onto your socks．This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless．
              A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait．This one requires a bit of discipline．Properly preparing packaged noodle soup required a Forced Wait．Directions are very specific．"Bring three cups of water to boil，add mix，simmer three minutes，remove from heat，let stand five minutes．"I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly．After all，Forced Waiting requires patience．
              Perhaps the most powerful type of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait．This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary．Unlike the Forced Wait，which is also voluntary，waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen．
              Turning one's life into a waiting game requires faith and hope，and is strictly for the optimists among us．On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the directions on soup mixes，but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who are willing to do it．As long as one doesn't come to rely on it，wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody．
              We certainly do spend a good deal of our time waiting．The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill while cooking noodle soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky，don't be desperate．You're probably just as busy as the next guy．

              (1) While doing a Watched-Pot Wait，we tend to ______ ．
              A. keep ourselves busy B. get absent-minded
              C. grow anxious D. stay focused
              (2) What is the difference between the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait？ ______
              A. The Forced Wait requires some self-control．
              B. The Forced Wait makes people passive．
              C. The Watched-Pot Wait needs directions．
              D. The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain．
              (3) What can we learn about the Lucky-Break Wait？ ______
              A. It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait．
              B. It doesn't always bring the desired result．
              C. It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait．
              D. It doesn't give people faith and hope．
              (4) What does the author advise us to do the next time we are waiting？ ______
              A. Take it seriously． B. Don't rely on others．
              C. Do something else． D. Don't lose heart．
              (5) The author supports his view by ______ ．
              A. exploring various causes of"waits"．
              B. describing detailed processes of"waits"．
              C. analyzing different categories of"waits"
              D. revealing frustrating consequences of"waits"

              Dear Alfred，

              I want to tell you how important your help is to my life．

              Growing up，I had people telling me I was too slow，though，with an IQ of 150 at 17，I’m anything but stupid．The fact was that I was found to have ADIID（注意力缺陷多动障碍）．Anxious all the time，I was unable to keep focused for more than an hour at a time．

              However，when something did interest me，I could become absorbed．In high school，I became curious about the computer，and built my first website．Moreover，I completed the senior course of Computer Basics，plus five relevant pre﹣college courses．

              While I was exploring my curiosity，my disease got worse．I wanted to go to college after high school，but couldn’t．So，I was killing my time at home until June 2012when I discovered the online computer courses of your training center．

              Since then，I have taken courses like Data Science and Advanced Mathematics．Currently，I’m learning your Probability course．I have hundreds of printer paper，covered in self﹣written notes from your video．This has given me a purpose．

              Last year，I spent all my time looking for a job where，without dealing with the public，I could work alone，but still have a team to talk to．Luckily，I discovered the job﹣Data Analyst﹣this month and have been going full steam ahead．I want to prove that I can teach myself a respectful profession，without going to college，and be just as good as，if not better than，my competitors．

              Thank you．You’ve given me hope that I can follow my heart．For the first time，I feel good about myself because I’m doing something，not because someone told me I was doing good．I feel whole．

              This is why you’re saving my life．

              Yours，

              Tanis

              Two things changed my life：my mother and a white plastic bike basket．I have thought long and hard about it and it's true．I would be a different person if my mom hadn't turned a silly bicycle accessory into a life lesson I carry with me today．
              My mother and father were united in their way of raising children，but it mostly fell to my mother to actually carry it out．Looking back，I honestly don't know how she did it．Managing the family budget must have been a very hard task．，but she made it look effortless．If we complained about not having what another kid did，we'd hear something like，"I don't care what so-and-so got for his birthday，you are not getting a TV in your room a car for your birthday a lsvish sweet 16party．"We had to earn our allowance（零用钱） by doing chores around the house．I can stil l remember how long it took to polish the legs of our coffee table．My brothers can no doubt remember hours spent cleaning the house．Like the two little girls growing up at the White House，we made our own beds （no one left the house unitil that was done）and picked up after ourselves．We had to keep track of our belongings，and if something was lost，it was not replaced．
              It was summer and，one day，my mother drove me to the bike shop to get a tire fixed---and there it was in the window，White，shiny，plastic and decorated with flowers，the basket winked at me and I knew----I knew---I had to have it．
              "It's beautiful，"my mother said when I pointed it out to her，"What a neat basket．"
              I tried to hold off at first，I played it cool for a short while．But then Iguess I couldn't atand it any longer："Mon，please can I please，please get it？I‘ll do extra chores for as long as you say，I'll do anything，but I need that basket，I love that basket．Please，Mom．Please？"
              I was desperate．
              "You know，"she said，gently rubbing my back while we both stared at what I believes was the coolest thing ever，"If you save up you could buy this yourself．"
              "By the time I make enough it'll bu gone!"
              "Maybe Roger here could hold it for you，"she smiled at Roger，the bike guy．
              "He can't hold it for that long，Mom．Someone else will buy it．Please，Mom，Please？"
              "There might be another way，"she said．
              And so our paying plan unfolded．My mother bought the beautiful basket and put it safely in some hiding place I could't find．Each week I eagerly counted my growing saving increased by extra work here and there （washing the car，helping my mother make dinner，delivering or collevting things on my bike that already looked naked without the basket in front）．And then，weeks later，I counted，re-counted and jumped for joy．Oh，happy day!I made it!I finally had the exact amount we'd agreed upon…．
              Days later the unthinkable happened．A neighborhood girl I'd played with millions of times appeared with the exact same basket fixted to her shiny，new bike that already had all the bells and whistles．I rode hard and fast home to tell my mother about this disaster．This horrible turn of events．
              And then came the lesson．I've taken with me through my life："Honey，Your basket is extra-special，"Mom said，gently wiping away my hot tears．"Your basket is special because you paid for it yourself．"

              (1) What can we learn from the first two paragraphs？ ______
              A. The children enjoyed doing housework．
              B. The author came from s well-off family
