24、A rich man lived in a small town. He was very kind, but his son had started hanging out with a bad crowd. The father tried to warn his son about this, but his son wouldn’t listen.

One day, an old wise man came to the town. The father went to the wise man to ask for advice. After thinking for a while, the wise man replied, “Send your son to me tomorrow morning. I will talk to him.”

The next morning, the father sent his son over. The wise man asked the boy to pick a rose from his garden and said, “Smell it and feel its fragrance (芬芳).” The boy did so. Then the wise man showed the boy a sack of wheat (一袋小麦) and said, “Put the rose next to the sack.” The boy followed these instructions.

After an hour, the wise man asked the boy to smell the rose again. “How does it smell now?” the wise man asked the boy. The boy smelled the rose and said, “It smells just as good as before.” Then the wise man said, “Hmm! Now put the rose next to this sack of sugar.” The boy did so.

After an hour, the wise man asked the boy to smell the rose again. “Does it smell any different?” the wise man asked the boy. “No, it smells as fresh as before,” the boy replied.

Then the wise man said, “You should be like this rose-be ‘fragrant’ to everyone you meet. Don’t let bad smells affect (影响) how you act.”

25、   You feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give without spending time filling your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the empty space in your life.

The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call “being” values and “having” values.

Your “being” values are the personalities (性格) of the ideal (理想的) person you would like to be. People can choose some “being” values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some “being” values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values, you give to others through your actions and you inspire (激励) others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.

Your “having” values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement or support. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.

When you make a promise to live by your “being” values, it becomes easier to make conscious (慎重的) choices. If you usually talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person. A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before you react. If you usually worry about something, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. A responsible or wise person might have the courage to deal with difficulties they meet. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.

When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, but you make your chosen beliefs stronger. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.

【1】The word “fulfilled” in Paragraph 1 probably means “______”.

A．satisfied

B．disappointed

C．awful

D．powerful

【2】According to the passage, living by your “being” values, you would ______.

A．get a lot of power

B．receive support from others

C．fill your own needs

D．form positive personalities

【3】What can we learn from the passage?

A．Having values are more important than being values.

B．The way other people think of you changes your values.

C．You may shake your beliefs when your values are clear to you.

D．Acting on your values can help balance what you give and receive.

【4】What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?

A．To show the importance of giving.

B．To explain what personal values are.

C．To tell people how to be truly happy.

D．To encourage people to have a life purpose.

26、Have you ever heard Auld Lang Syne? “Auld Lang Syne” means, in English, “old days gone by”. People in Britain usually sing this song at parties and most famously on New Year’s Eve.

Auld Lang Syne was actually a poem written by Robert Burns in Scottish in 1788. Robert Burns was born in Scotland in 1759 to a poor family on the farm. His family often had nothing to eat. He had little education and taught himself through self-study. Even from an early age, Burns began to show his writing talent.

His first collection of poems came out when he was 27, which earned him four hundred dollars, a large sum of money at that time. When the French Revolution (革命), he supported the revolution and in 1792 he sent four small guns to Paris. He further expressed his support by writing a number of poems. In these poems Burns called on people to fight for a happy life in the future. During the last 9 years of his life, Burns did a great deal of work in collecting and editing traditional Scottish songs. He refused to accept any pay, although he was in bad need of money. He continued the work until he died on 21 July, 1796.

He wrote poems in the tradition of Scottish folk songs. Many Burns’ works are of love and friendship. Much of the effect for Burns’ works of art was gathered from his surroundings—the places he travelled to, the culture and the people he loved at that time. His poems speak straight from the heart of a farmer to express the common feelings of millions of working people in simplest words. One of his world-famous works is A Red, Red (1794).

He is still remembered as Scotland’s national poet, more than 250 years after his death. A national Burns Night is held in Scotland and in other places throughout the world every year on his birthday, 25 January.
