24、After years of studying human nature, I have found something interesting. Whether you are a successful person or an common person depends on two things—curiosity (好奇心) and discontent (不满足). I have never known a successful man who is short of either. And I have never known an ordinary man who had both. The two belong together.

“The great man.” said Mencius (孟子), “is the person who does not lose the innocent heart of a child.” But most of us lose it. We stop asking questions. We stop challenging things. We just follow the crowd. Luckily, curiosity and discontent don’t have to be learned. We are born with them and only need to keep them awake. How should you start? I think of one friend who couldn’t grow flowers well enough to satisfy herself. She was curious about how the experts did it. Now she is one of the experts, writing books on flower growing.

▲ You don’t have any special ability? Most people don’t. You don’t have any time? That’s good because things are always done by the people with no time. Harriet Stowe, mother of six, wrote parts of Uncle Tom’s Cabin while cooking. You’re too old? Remember that Thomas Costain was 57 when he published his first novel, and that Grandma Moses showed her first pictures when she was 78.

However you start, remember there is no better time to start than right now, because you’ll never be more alive than you are at this moment.

【1】At the beginning of the passage, the writer leads in the topic by ________.

A．showing a fact

B．giving an example

C．telling a story

D．asking a question

【2】What does the underlined sentence mean in Paragraph 2?

A．君子莫大乎与人为善。

B．得道者多助，失道者寡助。

C．穷则独善其身，达则兼具天下。

D．大人者，不失其赤子之心者也。

【3】In Paragraph 2, the writer’s friend became an expert probably because ________.

A．she was very curious about the lives of flower-growing experts

B．she wrote many books on flower growing and became famous

C．she kept learning and found the right ways to grow flowers

D．she was better at writing books instead of growing flowers

【4】Which of the following can be put in ▲ ?

A．There are so many problems in getting started.

B．I advise you to think twice before you start.

C．It’s unnecessary to doubt yourself before you start.

D．Most of us are just ordinary people in the world.

26、   It is believed that Huck Finn is based on a childhood friend of Mark Twain's. In fact, Twain was not alone in basing a fictional character on a real-life person.

Severus Snape/John Nettleship

Severus Snape is a skillful teacher teaching magic in Harry Potter. The writer, J. K. Rowling, once said that the character was based on a teacher of hers.

On second thoughts, however, he said that he was so ill-tempered that most of his students avoided making him mad. Also, he used to wear long hair and have an untidy lab. That sounds familiar to Harry Potter fans.

Carroll was close to the Liddell family. One day, ten-year-old Alice asked Carroll to tell her a new story.

And the rest is history.

Dill/Truman Capote
