         Years ago  I worked at a  factory  in a small county. Every day I got up very early and often did
    much extra work at night.  I was so  tired and exhausted. My whole life was hopeless. Then one day I
    read the following article from a magazine:
         "A woman went  to  live with her husband  in camp on the Mojave Desert (沙漠) during  the war.
    She simply hated the place: the heat was almost un-bearable, 125 degrees  in  the shade,  the wind blew
    incessantly, and there was sand-sand everywhere. Finally, in desperation (不顾一切地) she wrote her
    parents in Ohio that she couldn't stand it another minute and was coming home.
         Quickly came the reply by airmail from her father——just two lines:
         "Two men  looked out  from prison bars. One saw the mud, the other saw stars."
         The daughter did some real thinking, not only with the intellect (思维) but also with her heart. She
    decided to stick to her post.
         She made friends with the natives,  learned  to love  the country, and eventually wrote a book about
    it.
         The desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had. Because she  listened with her heart  to  the words
    her  father sent, a whole new world opened up to her."
         A change of attitude could change everything.
         After  reading  the article,  I was deep  in thought (陷入沉思)…
    1.  The  underlined word  "unbearable" means ____________ in Chinese.
    A. 难以想象的
    B. 难以克服的
    C. 难以忍受的
    D. 难以适应的
    2. After she  received her  father's  reply,  the woman__________.
    A. went back home              
    B. was coming home
    C. decided to stay there        
    D. decided to go back home with her husband
    3. From her father's reply, we can infer (推断) that ____________.
    A. two men looked out from prison bars
    B. one man was in prison, the other was out of prison
    C. two men were out of prison
    D. her parents wanted her  to stay  there with her husband
    4. Which of the followingis wrong according to the passage?
    A. A woman went to live with her husband in a big city.
    B. The woman finally made friends with the natives.
    C. She wrote her parents that she was coming.
    D. The woman received her parents' reply by airmail.
    5. The main idea of this passage is that __________.
    A. a woman went to live with her husband in camp
    B. the desert hadn't changed, but her attitude had
    C. the daughter's parents wanted her to stay with her husband
    D. a change of attitude could change everything

         Dragons can be friendly or fierce (凶狠), they can bring good luck or cause death, but one  thing is
    sure——people  talk about  them almost everywhere in the world. For a creature that doesn't actually
    exist, that's quite something.
         In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although  they can be ①unpredictable. The
    dragon was closely connected  to  the royal  family: theemperor's robes (礼袍) have a symbol of a gold
    dragon with five claws. ②Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too,
    but with fewer claws and of a different colour. According  to popular belief,  if you were born  in  the
    year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.
         But in the west, dragons had a different reputation (名声). The very first text in English, the
    Anglo-Saxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf, who fights and kills a
    dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the red
    dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national
    identity.
       ③Why should  the dragon have a different character  in different parts of  the world? Some experts
    believe it is due to the animals that  the myths grew out of.  In  the west,  the  idea of  the dragon
    probably came  from  the snake——an animal which people hated and ④____ ____of (害怕). 
         But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from  the alligator--a shy animal which lives in
    rivers, but which  is usually only seen when  there  is plenty of water--a good sign for agriculture(农业).
    So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of ⑤good fortune.
    1.(A) 请写出文中画线部分①unpredictable的汉语意思:
       _______________.
       (B) 请从文中找出与画线部分⑤good fortune意思相近的短语:

       In  the west,  the  idea of  the dragon probably came from the snake-an animal which people hated and _______ _______ of (害怕).
    5.What  are  the  differences  between Chinese dragons and western dragons? (从文中找出相关描
    述的英语单词或短语,每空至少一个。)
