When I was a kid, I was close to my dad, but as I grew older, my dad and I grew further apart. We always had totally different opinions. He thought that college was a waste of time, but for me it was important to finish college. He wanted me to work my way to the top as he had done in his field, but I wanted a different life. There was a time when we did not talk with each other.
A few months ago, I heard that my 84-year-old dad was in poor health. When he called and asked whether I could move from Colorado back to Tennessee to help him, I knew he was seriously ill. I am his only child and so it was time to meet my father’s requirement.
Two weeks after moving back, we bought a boat and started fishing again. Fishing was one of the few things that we did while I was young and that we both enjoyed. It is strange but true that as we are fishing we are able to put things that have kept us apart for so many years behind us. We are able to talk about things that we have never talked about before. Fishing has been healing the old wounds that have kept us apart
It is not important how many fish we catch. It is about enjoying the relationship that we have not had for years. I’m 62 and he is 84. When we are on the lake fishing, it is like two kids enjoying life. It is far better to find a way to put the unhappy past behind. I am so lucky to spend the happy time with my father in his last years. Now my heart is filled with love. A smile always graces my lips.

A．they had different views on things

A．Because his father invited him to go fishing.

小題3:For the author，fishing with his old father___________ .
A．helps cure his father’s disease
B．is a good way to get close to nature
C．makes him realize the importance of exercise
D．offers a chance for them to communicate

Iceland is a popular European tourist destination. Before you go there, it is good to learn some of the basic Iceland customs first.
Just like other countries in Europe, it is one of the customs in Iceland to shake hands and say “Hello”. Kissing each other’s cheeks is acceptable along with wishing each other a happy day.
Another custom is to take off your shoes in the hallway(走廊) when you enter someone’s home. Also, don’t be surprised if someone invites you to their house, since Icelanders love to have guests. Just make sure you take flowers or a similar token of thanks to give them.
If you have been invited to eat, keep in mind that you don’t need to express thanks before meals like the French or the Japanese. Rather, eat heartily and then thank your host afterwards by shaking his hand.
Keep in mind that believing in mysterious beings is part of the tradition in Iceland. Indeed, most of the unique and sometimes strange rock formations in Iceland are due to elves(小精靈), according to the people of Iceland.
Are you planning to spend Christmas in Iceland? If so, make sure you practice saying “Gleileg jol got tog fars!” first, which is the local Christmas greeting. It is part of the tradition in Iceland to have long Christmas holidays—26 days—longer than in any other European country. There are 13 Santa Clauses in Iceland, too!
There may not be a law requiring you to follow the customs, but there is no harm in doing so. Following them, you might be rewarded with a rich cultural experience and a more meaningful trip.
小題1: When you are invited to someone’s home in Iceland, you'd better do all of the following EXCEPT ______.
A．eating heartily and enjoying your time there
B．expressing your thanks to the host before you eat
C．taking some flowers or something else to the host
D．taking off shoes in the hallway before you enter the home
小題2:Which of the following is one of the differences in customs between Iceland and France?
A．Shaking hands when greeting.
B．A 26-day-long Christmas holiday.
C．Saying hello when meeting each other.
D．Kissing each other’s cheeks when greeting.
小題3:The text is mainly about ______.
A．what some of the customs in Iceland are like
B．why some of the customs in Iceland are special
C．how some of the customs in Iceland were formed
D．what some of the customs are like in Europe
小題4: In the text, the author aims to tell us that ______.
A．happiness is a form of courage

Joy in the journey
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. For often, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to      . “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “We plan to dig a hole all the way through the     !” one of the brothers volunteered      .
The older boys began to     , telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was      . After a long silence, one of the        picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and many other kinds of insects. He      the lid and showed the wonderful      to the scoffing（嘲笑的）visitors. Then he said quietly and     , “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look at what we have found      the way!”
Their goal was far too ambitious, but it did cause them to dig. And that is      a goal is for — to cause us to move in the      we have chosen, in other words, to keep us     ! But not every goal will be fully     . Not every job will end     . Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. Not every dream will be     . But when you fall      of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things      my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging      life is lived. And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly      .

I want to make the most of every day. And, like most people, I've      that the best way to do it is (to) let go of past failures. But that's not all. One can never fully      today while thinking too much about past successes, either. People never      while resting comfortably on their laurels (榮譽). The      is that sometimes our successes hold us back more than our failures!
I once      a story about the Oscar owner, actor Clark Gable. A friend      Gable one afternoon at the actor's home. She brought along her      son, who was playing happily with toy cars on the floor. He      he was racing those cars around a great track, which in      was an imaginary circle around a golden statue. The small statue the boy played with was actually the Oscar Clark Gable      for his performance in the 1934 movie It Happened One Night.
When his mother told him the time had come to      , the little boy asked the actor, “Can I have this？”      to the Oscar.
“Sure,” he smiled. “It's yours.”
The horrified mother       . “Put that back immediately！”
Giving the child the golden statue, Clark Gable said, “Having the Oscar around doesn't mean anything to me;       it does.” The actor seemed to know that past success could be a       hammock (吊床) upon which he may be tempted to     , rather than a springboard setting him to begin a new start.
You may have learned to let go of past       and mistakes in order to free the present. But will you forget past successes and achievements in order to free the      ？Will your past be a springboard or a restful hammock?

In the doorway of my home, I looked closely at my 23-year-old son, Daniel. In a few hours he would be flying to France to   36  a different life. It was a transitional（過渡的）time in Daniel's life. I wanted to    37  him some words of significance. But nothing came from my lips, and this was not the    38  time I had let such moments pass.
When Daniel was five, I took him to the bus stop on his first day of kindergarten. He asked, “What is it going to be like, Dad? Can I do it?” Then he walked   39  the steps of the bus and disappeared inside. The bus drove away and I said nothing. A decade later, a similar   40 played itself out. I drove him to college. As I started to leave, I tried to think of something to say to give him    41 and confidence as he started this new stage of life. Again, words 42  me.
Now, as I stood before him, I thought of those 43  opportunities. How many times have I let such moments   44 ? I don't find a quiet moment to tell him what they have  45  to me. Or what he might   46  to face in the years ahead. Maybe I thought it was not necessary to say anything.
What does it matter in the course of a lifetime if a father never tells a son what he really thinks of him?    47  as I stood before Daniel, I knew that it did matter. My father and I loved each other. Yet, I always   48  never hearing him put his   49   into words. Now I could feel my palms sweat and my throat tighten. Why is it so   50  to tell a son something from the heart?
My mouth turned dry, and I knew I would be able to get out only a few words clearly. “Daniel,” I said, “If I could have picked, I would have picked you.” That's all I could say. He hugged me. For a moment, the world    51 , and there were just Daniel and me. He was saying something, but tears misted my eyes, and I couldn't understand what he was saying. All I was    52  of was the stubble（短須）on his chin as his face pressed   53  mine. What I had said to Daniel was   54 . It was nothing. And yet, it was  55 .
