destination, purpose, and excuse. If I went to a friend"s house and found him not at home, his mother might
say, "Oh, he"s out in the woods," with a tone (语气) of airy acceptance. It"s similar to the tone people
sometimes use nowadays to tell me that someone I"m looking for is on the golf course or at the gym, or even"
away from his desk." For us ten-year-olds, "being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we
feel like for a while.
We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was
a more popular idea back then than it is today. History seemed to be mostly about explorers. Our explorations,
though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way. Say we
stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly
persuaded was an Italian burial mound.
Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were. If you read a story in which
someone does that successfully, be skeptical: the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and
we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees. There were four or five trees that we
visited regularly----tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in.
It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end. By then some of us has
reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March, the month when we
usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring. We climbed a tree, and
all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that were really were rather big to be up in a tree.
Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.
B. play gold and other sports
C. avoid doing their schoolwork
D. keep away from their parents
B. Human history is not the result of exploration.
C. Exploration should be a systematic activity.
D. The author explored in the woods aimlessly.
B. doubtful
C. serious
D. optimistic
B. Lonely but memorable.
C. Boring and meaningless.

| I arrived at my mother"s home for our Monday family dinner. The smells of food flew over from the kitchen. Mother was pulling out quilt (被子) after quilt from the boxes, proudly showing me their beauties. She was preparing for a quilt show at the Elmhurst Church. When we began to fold and put them back into the boxes, I noticed something at the bottom of one box. I pulled it out. "What is this?" I asked. "Oh?" Mom said, "That"s Mama"s quilt." I spread the quilt. It looked at if a group of school children had pieced it together: irregular designs, childish pictures, a crooked line on the right. "Grandmother made this?" I said, surprised. My grandmother was a master at making quilts. This certainly didn"t look like any of the quilts she had made. "Yes, right before she died. I brought it home with me last year and made some changes," she said. "I"m still working on it. See, this is what I"ve done so far." I looked at it more closely. She had made straight a crooked line. At the center of the quilt, she had stitched (缝) a piece of cloth with these words:"My mother made many quilts. She didn"t get all lines straight. But I think this is beautiful. I want to see it finished. Her last quilt." "Ooh, this is so nice, Mom," I said. It occurred to me that by completing my grandmother"s quilt, my mother was honoring her own mother. I realized, too, that I held in my hands a family treasure. It started with the loving hands of one woman, and continued with the loving hands of another. | |||||||||||||||||

| The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading 1 to the sea. "Hey, look!" exclaimed Rahim. "Those two men are 2 heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological 3 ." "You do not 4 a crane to unload less than a dozen rocks, do you? " smiled Joshua.
