One morning, a young man leading a goat lost his way due to the thick mist．Then he met a blind man and asked whether he also lost his way．The blind man said, “I cannot see anything．Therefore, the mist doesn’t affect me．I followed the path in my memory and it never goes wrong.”
Happily the young man led the goat following him forward．The blind man asked where he was going．He said he wanted to sell his goat．“Male or female? How many years have you kept it?” The young man spoke without too much thought, “A female goat of 3 years!”
The young man was still following the blind man when he was grasped the hand by the blind man．He shouted ,“Here is the police station! Go into it and elaborate on how you stole the goat!”
The young man had been a thief for a long time and admitted the goat was stolen by him．He asked the blind man puzzlingly, “But how do you know I am a thief?”
The blind man smiled, “I have been keeping goats for decades and can tell one of them is male or female as well as their age according to their voices．The goat you led just now is obviously a male goat, but you said female．The goat is simply a little more than one year old, but you said you had kept it for three years．Moreover, the goat will bleat totally differently when he is led by a stranger instead of his owner．So I can tell the goat does not belong to you!” Only then did the thief understand the whole thing with his head dropped down．

A．he didn’t lead a goat

I was born in New York, but I grew up in San Francisco. I began to live in London 25 years ago. If I am asked now where I want to live forever, I would say London. But I will always be American.
San Francisco, like London, has many parks. Every day my sisters and I were taken to play in the parks as children. I didn't go to school. I only had three hours of formal education when I was five. I was sent to school in the morning but came home at noon on the first day. I said I didn't enjoy it and hadn't learned anything. My parents thought that school was unsuitable for me. They agreed with me, so I never went back to school.
Then my mother taught me and my two sisters at home, in the way of an English lady who had good education. We learned languages and reading more than sciences and maths. Sometimes she taught us herself, but we also had other teachers. They asked us to take lessons every day. About once a week we walked to Golden Gate Park. While we were walking, my mother taught me to read music. One day I noticed a little toy train in the window of a shop and I remember now how I'd like to have it. I couldn't say "r" when I was small. My mother said if I could say an "r" well, I would have the toy train. I practiced and practiced. Then one morning I woke everybody up with my "r"s. I got the toy train. I usually get the things I want in life — but I work hard for them.

A. was born in San Francisco B. likes living in London

One morning a few years ago，Harvard President Neil Rudenstine overslept. For this busy man，it was a sort of alarm: after years of non-stop hard work，he might wear himself out and die an early death.
Only after a week's leave—during which he read novels, listened to music and walked with his wife on a beach—was Rudenstine able to return to work.
In our modern life, we have lost the rhythm between action and rest. Surprisingly, within this world there is a universal but silly saying:“I am so busy.”
We say this to one another as if our tireless efforts were a talent by nature and an ability to successfully deal with stress. The busier we are, the more important we seem to ourselves and, we imagine, to others. To be unavailable to our friends and family, and to be unable to find time to relax—this has become the model of a successful life.
Because we do not rest, we lose our way. We miss the guide telling us where to go, the food providing us with strength, the quiet giving us wisdom.
How have we allowed this to happen? I believe it is this: we have forgotten the Sabbath, the day of the week—for followers of some religions—for rest and praying. It is a day when we are not supposed to work, a time when we devote ourselves to enjoying and celebrating what is beautiful. It is a good time to bless our children and loved ones, give thanks, share meals，walk and sleep. It is a time for us to take a rest, to put our work aside, trusting that there are larger forces at work taking care of the world.
Rest is a spiritual and biological need；however，in our strong ambition to be successful and care for our many responsibilities，we may feel terribly guilty when we take time to rest. The Sabbath gives us permission to stop work. In fact, “Remember the Sabbath ”is more than simply permission to rest；it is a rule to obey and a principle to follow.
50. The “alarm” in the first paragraph refers to “______”.
A. a signal of stress B. a warning of danger
C. a sign of age D. a spread of disease
51. According to Paragraph 4,a successful person is one who is believed to ____.
A. be able to work without stress B. be more talented than other people
C. be more important than anyone else D. be busy working without time to rest
52. Some people feel guilty when taking time to rest because they ____.
A. think that taking a rest means lacking ambitions
B. fail to realize that rest is an essential part of life
C. fail to realize that religions force them to rest
D. think that taking a rest means being lazy
53. What is the main idea of this passage?
A. We should balance work with rest.
B. The Sabbath givers us permission to rest.
C. It is silly for anyone to say “I am so busy.”
D. We should be available to our family and friends.

I was loading (裝載) my truck to go to the market when I hurt my left eye. The pain was like a hot sword(劍) being shoved through my head. I fell down on my hands and knees, and I knew it was bad.
I was taken to the Erlanger Hospital in Chattanooga, and the doctors operated on me several times but couldn’t save my left eye. When they told me the news, I wanted to die.
