But the most 29 part of childhood is a period when you 30 to go out of it, the period when you go into adolescence（youth）．Teenagers start to be 31 their parents and this causes them great 32 ． There is a complete lack of self-confidence during this time． Adolescents pay much attention to their 33 and the impression they make on others．They feel shy, awkward and clumsy（笨拙的）． Feelings are strong and hearts 34 broken． Teenagers 35 moments of great happiness or black despair． And through this period, adults seem to be more unkind than ever．

In this modern world, we rush around all day with no time for stillness. And when we are 48 to be still, we"re in line for something, or waiting at a doctor"s appointment, or on a bus or train. This comes at a 49 : we lose that time for consideration, for observing and listening. We lose peace. And 50 yet: sometimes no action is better than too much action at all. You can run around crazily, but get nothing done. Take a moment to think about how you spend your days? Are you always 51 through your schedule?
Is this how you want to spend your life? If not, take a moment to be still. Don"t think about what you have to do, or what you"ve done already. 52 be in the moment. Then after a minute or two of doing that, consider your 53 , and how you"d like it to be. See your life with less movement and less rushing. See it with more stillness and more peace. It"s pretty simple: all you have to do is sit still for a little bit each day. Once you"ve got 54 to that, try doing less each day. Find happiness now, in this moment, instead of waiting for it.
Value the stillness. It"s a treasure and it"s 55 to us, always.

After years of searching, a truth seeker was told to go to a cave, in which he would find a well. “Ask the well what is 36 , ” he was advised, “and the well reveal (告诉，揭露) it to you.” Having found the well, the seeker asked that most basic and important 37 . And from the depths came the answer: “Go to the village crossroad, and there you shall find what you are seeking.”
Full of 38 the man ran to the crossroad to 39 only three rather uninteresting shops. One shop was selling pieces of metal, another sold 40 , and thin wires were for sale in the third. Nothing and no one there seemed to 41 much to do with the revelation of truth.
Disappointed, the seeker returned to the well to demand an 42 , but he was told only: “You will 43 in the future.”
As years went by, the 44 of his experience at the well gradually 45 until one night, while he was walking, the sound of sitar (西塔琴) music 46 his attention. It was wonderful and it was 47 with great skill and inspiration.
Deeply 48 , the truth seeker felt drawn towards the 49 . He looked at the fingers dancing over the strings. And then suddenly he let out a cry of joyful 50 : the sitar was made out of wires and pieces of metal and wood just like 51 he had once seen in the three stores.
At last he understood the 52 of the well: we have already been given everything we need; our 53 is to assemble (聚集) and use them in the proper way. Nothing is 54 so long as we recognize only fragments (碎片). But as soon as the pieces are put together, something new appears, whose nature we could not have 55 by considering the fragments alone.

Looking back on my childhood. I am convinced that naturalists are born and not made. Although we were brought up in the same way, my brothers and sisters soon abandoned their pressed flowers and insects. Unlike them, I had no ear for music and languages. I was not an early reader and I could not do mental arithmetic.
Before Word War I we spent our summer holidays in Hungary. I have only the dim memory of the house we lived in, of my room and my toys. Nor do I recall clearly the large family of grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who gathered next door. But I do have a crystal clear memory of dogs, the farm animals, the local birds and above all, the insects.
I am a naturalist, not a scientist. I have a strong love of the natural world, and my enthusiasm has led me into varied investigations. I love discussing my favorite topics and enjoy burning the midnight oil reading about other people’s observations and discoveries. Then something happens that brings these observations together in my conscious mind. Suddenly you fancy you see the answer to the riddle. Because it all seems to fit together .This has resulted in my publishing 300 papers and books. Which some may light honor, with the title of scientific research.
But curiosity a keen eye, a good memory and enjoyment of the animal and plant world do not make a scientist? One of the outstanding and essential qualities required is self-discipline, a quality I lack. A scientist can be made a naturalist. If you can combine the two, you get the best of both worlds.
小题1:According to the author, a born naturalist should first of all be _____| A．full of ambition | B．self-disciplined | | C．full of enthusiasm | D．knowledgeable |
小题2:The first paragraph tells us that the author _____ | A．lost his hearing when he was a child | | B．didn’t like his brothers and sisters | | C．was interested in flowers and insects in his childhood | | D．was born to a naturalist’s family |
小题3:The author says that he is a naturalist rather than a scientist probably because he thinks he ____.| A．just rends about other peoples observations and discoveries. | | B．Lacks some of the qualities required of scientist. | | C．Has a great deal of trouble doing mental arithmetic. | | D．Come up with solutions in most natural ways. |
小题4:The author can’t remember him relatives clearly because__ | A．He didn’t live very long with them | | B．He was too young when he lived with them. | | C．The family was extremely large | | D．He was fully occupied with observing nature. |
小题5:Which of the following statements is true? | A．The author believes that a born naturalist can not be scientist. | | B．The author read a lot of books about the natural world and oil industry | | C．The author’s brothers and sisters were good at music and languages. | | D．The author spent a lot of time working on riddles. |

A poor young man lost his job and had no one to help him. Helpless, homeless and hopeless, he decided to commit suicide. He 36 all the coins he had with him and bought a ripe banana wrapped in an old newspaper. He opened the packet and started to eat his last food 37 an old beggar approached him. With trembling lips, the beggar told him that he hadn’t had anything to eat for several days and was too weak to walk. The young man felt 38 . So he didn’t eat the banana. 39 , he gave the banana to the beggar. The beggar ate it with great joy and 40__ him. While leaving, the beggar gave him a very old coin, saying, “Thank you very much. You gave me everything you had. Kindly accept this coin as my gift 41 your kindness.”
After the old man left, he 42 glanced at the piece of paper used to wrap the fruit. There he saw a（n） 43 from an agency dealing with old coins. Anyone 44 old coins was invited to visit the agency and receive suitable price for their old coins on the spot. Out of simple 45 , he carried the coin to the agency after 46 it by phone. He showed the coin gifted by the beggar. The person who 47 the agency stared at it and told him in excitement, “What a __48 ! It is very 49 and several centuries old. It is worth a（n） 50 !” Jumping with joy on receiving the 51 amount of money, he searched everywhere to find the old man who gifted him the coin. He wanted to 52 his joy and the money with the beggar. But he could not find him anywhere. Since then, he started a new life with renewed 53 and enthusiasm about the future.
Kindness will be 54 . It always comes back! As William Wordsworth wrote,“ The best part of a good life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of 55 and love.”
