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 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 golf 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.
D. Long and unforgettable.

taught him. In the same distance, the ducks saw the gunners and flared (突然飞去) wildly. For a second he
hung there balanced between life and death. There was no sound. Jeremy stood 12 , seizing the gun.
"What happened? 13 didn"t you shoot?" his father said in a controlled voice. The boy didn"t answer. His
lips were trembling.
"Because they were so 14 ," he said and burst into tears. He sat down, face buried in his hands and wept.
All 15 of pleasing his father was gone. He had his chance and he failed .
For a moment his father was 16 . And then he said, "Let"s try again." Jeremy didn"t lower his hands."It"s

shooting. But that doesn"t mean you 19 . Sometimes it takes as much 20 not to do a thing as to do it." He
paused. "I think you could teach me how to operate that camera."

| When I was a kid, I always used to wonder how in the world my father work outside in the winter without a coat. It could be minus 20 degrees centigrade and there"d be Dad, removing snow, or perhaps chopping some wood-his coat thrown aside-wearing a shirt, a cap, and a pair of gloves. "Aren"t you cold, Dad?" I"d ask. "No," Dad would reply. "I"m not cold-working too hard to be cold." Many times I wondered whether my father was an extremely tough man, or whether he was foolish. One time when I was quite young, perhaps five or so, I went ice fishing with Dad. It was a bright, clear day-and bitterly cold. After we"d been out on the ice for a little while, my feet started getting cold. "Daddy, my feet are cold." I said. "Yeah, it"s cold out here today," he replied. "Tell you what," he said. "Walk around. Make some circles in the snow. See how many different patterns you can make. That will get your feet warm." Now, I was just a little girl at the time but I remember thinking, "How in the world will walking around in the snow make my feet warm? Dad must be out of mind." But he was my father, after all. I made circles in the snow. I made squares. Pretty soon I was having so much fun making patterns in the snow. I forgot about my feet being cold. Now, all these years later, I know, too, from personal experience how my father was able to take his coat off and work outside in the winter wearing just a shirt, a cap and gloves. Because I do it, too. "Aren"t you cold?" my husband asked one winter day. "No," I replied. "I"m not cold-working too hard to be cold." I hope my husband has decided I"m both tough and smart. But I guess quite a bit of the time he thinks I"m foolish. Wherever Dad is in that great big farm in the sky-I"m sure he can"t help but smile whenever I take my coat off while I"m working outside in the winter. | ||||||||||||||||||

| An old sea captain was often seen opening a small locked box, and looking inside. The crew"s curiosity grew and, on the day he retired, they rushed to cut the lock. There they found a sheet of paper that read, "Left-port (左舷). Right-starboard (右舷)." Are you afraid to make a mistake? If you made mistakes recently, maybe you need to hear about Roy Riegels. The story is told about Roy and the 1929 Rose Bowl championship football game between Georgia Tech and the university of California. Shortly before halftime, Roy Riegels made a huge mistake. He got the ball for California and somehow became confused and started running in the wrong direction! One of his teammates tackled (抢断) him after he had run 656 yards, just before he would have scored for the opposing team. Of course, Georgia Tech gained a distinct (明显的) advantage through the error. After the first half was over, Riegels sat in a corner, put his face in his hands and wept. Coach Nibbs Price struggled with what to do with Roy. He finally looked at the team and said simply, "Men, the same team that played the first half will start the second." All the players except Roy went to the field. Though the coach looked back and called to him again, he remained seated in the corner. Coach Price went to him and said, "Roy, didn"t you hear me?" "Coach," he said, "I can"t do it. I"ve ruined you; I"ve ruined the school; I"ve ruined myself." But the coach Price put his hand on Riegels" shoulder and said, "Roy, get up and go on back; the game is only half over." Roy Riegels went back and those Tech men will tell you that they have never seen a man play football as well as Roy Riegels played that second half. The next time you make a mistake, it might be good to remember the ABC method. A-Acknowledge (admit) your error and accept responsibility for it. Don"t try to fix the blame on other people or circumstances (客观环境). When you fix the blame, you never fix the problem. B-Be gentle with yourself. The game is only half over. This is not the first mistake you ever made, nor will it be the last. You are still a good and caring person. Besides, later you may laugh at the mistake, so try to lighten up a bit now. C-Correct it and move on. Correcting mistakes may also mean to amends (弥补过错), if necessary. Now, go make your mistakes. And if you practice the ABC method, you"ll live to laugh about many of them. | ||||||||||||||||||
