举一反三

When I was a boy every holiday that I had seemed perfect. My parents took me by train or by car to a hotel by the sea. All day, I seem to remember. I played on the sands with strange exciting children. We make sandcastles with huge yellow walls, and watched the incoming tide destroy them; we splashed each other in the water and shrieked with excitement. When the tide went out, we climbed over the slippery rocks and stared down at the fish and the seaweed in the rock-pools.
In those far-off days the sun seemed to shine constantly and the water was always warm. Sometimes we left the beach and walked in the country, exploring ruined houses and dark woods and climbing trees that overhung streams. There were always sweets in one’s pockets or convenient places where one could buy ice-creams. Each day seemed a life-time.
Although I am now an adult, my idea of a good holiday is much the same as it was. I still like the sun and the warm sand and the sound of waves breaking on the beach. I no longer wish to build sandcastles and I dislike sweets instantly, but I look forward to sitting down to a good meal and a bottle of wine in the evening.
I think, too, that I prefer spending my holiday abroad. I want to smell different smells; I want to see different kinds of trees, flowers and birds; and I also want to see people with different colored skins, wearing different kinds of clothes. Above all, I want to hear a different language spoken and listen to different musical rhythms from those I am used to.
But I still need my companions----not, of course, to play on the sands and eat ices with, but to drink with and talk to on warm moonlit nights.
Sometimes I wonder what my perfect holiday will be when I am old. All I shall want to do then, I expect, will be to lie in bed, reading books about children who make sandcastles with huge yellow walls, who watch the incoming tide, who make themselves sick on too many ices…
39.Where did the author mostly spend his holidays when he was young?
A.In the countryside.   B.On the beach.   C.In the mountains.    D.On the sea.
40.What does the underlined word “shrieked” in Paragraph 1 mean?
A.shouted    B.swam    C.struggled    D.surfed
41.What now interests the author as an adult is ____.
A.to enjoy a nice dinner                    B.to spend his holiday sunbathing
C.to chat with someone                    D.to experience a foreign culture
42.When the author grows old, he expects that ____.
A.he will read more books about children
B.he will lie in bed without worrying about anything
C.he will bring back wonderful childhood memories from a book
D.he will make sandcastles with his children

Compared to the whole development of history, your life could be like a candle which is lit and then blown out immediately. In other words, life is short —very short. Missing any of the joys life offers is terrible.
So don’t let fears conquer your short and valuable life. If your life is being controlled by your fears, you are most certainly cheating yourself. Courage is the mental (精神上的) muscle that conquers fear. Like all muscles, the more you use it, the stronger it will become. Courage is not something you are born with. That is to say, it must be developed. It has been said that if you face the thing you fear bravely, your fear will leave you.
For years I believed that courageous people had no fear. I was wrong. Eddie Richen Bacher put it very well when he said, "There is no courage without fear." We all have fears; however, not everyone gives in to their fears easily.
There is, very likely, something you have wanted to do for years —move to another city, start your own business, apply for a better position, or go wherever you like. Whatever it is, you should do it. Remember, life is not a practice run. This is it. A little courage leads to more.
Observe those poor people who have no courage. They only tiptoe (蹑手蹑脚地走) through life, hoping they can make it safely to death. You and I never meant to live that way. Learn to live the way you like by no longer living as you dislike. Make good use of your day and have courage. That’s life!
64. We can learn from the passage that courage _______.
A. can be developed quickly                 B. needs to be used more often
C. is formed when one is born                D. makes one very excited
65. What new opinion did the author develop?
A. All courageous people have fears.           B. Those who are brave have no fear.
C. There is no fear without courage.           D. A brave person can live a safe life.
66. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. A Person’s Life Is Short                   B. Don’t Fear Anything
C. Never Give Up Easily                    D. Courage Conquers Fear
