A
" Just sign here, sir," the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.
The package consisted of a long, narrow box
36
wrapped in brown paper. Opening the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside—— a very old one with a beautifully carved handle.
37 he had not seen it in more than 20 years, he recognized it immediately.
Oscar was 16 when he first saw the
38
umbrella. He had gone to a concert with his grandparents. As they were leaving, he noticed an umbrella on an empty seat. Impressed by its
39 , Oscar felt a strong desire to find its owner.
Oscar convinced the manager to look in the record of advance ticket sales. Just as he thought, a name matched the seat
40
Oscar had found the umbrella . The name was Mrs. Katie O'brien.
Oscar talked his grandparents into going by Mrs O'brien's
41
on their way home. He rang the bell, the door opened, and an elderly woman appeared. "May I help you ? "she asked.
"I'd like to return it if it’s yours," Oscar said ,
42
the umbrella as if presenting a gift that had long been wished for.
"Why, yes! it's mine, "replied Mrs. Brien with a
43
smile and shining eyes. " It was given to me by my father years ago. Thank you so much for returning it. May I offer you a reward for your kindness ? "
" No, ma'am , " he said, " my grandmother says a good deed is its own reward."
" Well, that 's
44
what my father used to say. What is your name, young man?"
Years later, Oscar was staring at the finely carved handle of the umbrella as he remembered Mrs. O' Brien. It was in perfect condition, considering how
45
it was. Why had it arrived here today?
As if
46
, a note fell from the paper. It read: Mrs O'brien wanted you to
47
this umbrella as a present for a kind, unselfish gesture long ago.
36. A. strictly
B. carefully
C. roughly
D. casually
37. A. After

I fell in love with Yosemite National Park the first time I saw it, when I was 13. My parents took us there for camping. On the way out, I asked them to wait while I ran up to E1 Capitan, a
48
rock of 3,300 feet straight up. I touched that giant rock and knew immediately I wanted to climb it. That has been my life’s passion ever since climbing the rocks and mountains of Yosemite. I’ve long made Yosemite my
49
.
About 15 years ago I started seeing a lot of waste, like toilet paper, beer cans, and empty boxes, around the area. It’s beyond me why visitors started respecting the place
50
and treated such a beautiful home-like place this way.
I tried picking up trash(垃圾)myself, but the job was too big. I would spend an hour or two on the job, only to find the area trashed all over again weeks later. Finally, I got so
51
it that I decided something had to change.
As a rock-climbing guide, I knew
52
about organizing any big event. But in 2004, together with some climbers, I set a date for a cleanup. On that day, more than 300 people showed up. Over three days we collected about 6,000 pounds of trash. It was amazing how much we were able to accomplish. I couldn’t believe the
53
we made ---the park looked clean!
Each year volunteers come for the cleanup from everywhere. In 2007 alone, 2,945 people picked up 42,330 pounds of trash and
54
132 miles of roadway.
I often hear people complain about their surroundings. If you are one of them, I would say the only way to change things is by doing rather than complaining. We need to teach by
55
. You can’t blame others unless you start with yourself.
48. A. distant
B. huge
C. narrow
D. loose
49. A. garden
B. home
C. lab
D. palace
50. A. more
B. most
C. less
D. least
51. A. satisfied with B. delighted in
C. tired of
D. used to
52. A. something
B. anything
C. everything
D. nothing
53. A. plan
B. visit
C. contact
D. difference
54. A. crossed
B. measured
C. covered
D. designed
55. A. method
B. explanation
C. example
D. research
第部分：阅读理解（20小题；每小题2分，共分）When you choose to be a victim, the world is a cold and difficult place. “They” did things to you which caused all of your pain and suffering. “They” are wrong and bad, and life is terrible as long as “they” are around. Or you may blame yourself for all your problems, thus internalizing your victimization. The truth is, your life is likely to stay that way as long as you feel a need to blame yourself or others.
Those who choose to be creators look at life quite differently. They know there are individuals who might like to control their lives, but they don’t let this get in the way. They know they have their weaknesses, yet they don’t blame themselves when they fail. Whatever happens, they have choice in the matter. They believe their dance with each sacred moment of life is a gift and that storms are a natural part of life which can bring the rain needed for emotional and spiritual growth.
Victims and creators live in the same physical world and deal with many of the same physical realities, yet their experience of life is worlds apart. Victims relish (沉溺)in anger, guilt, and other emotions that cause others---and even themselves---to feel like victims, too. Creators consciously choose love, inspiration, and other qualities which inspire not only themselves, but all around them. Both victims and creators always have choice to determine the direction of their lives.
In reality, all of us play the victim or the creator at various points in our lives. One person, on losing a job or a special relationship, may feel as if it is the end of the world and sink into terrible suffering for months, years, or even a lifetime. Another with the same experience may choose to first experience the grief, then accept the loss and soon move on to be a powerful creative force in his life.
In every moment and every circumstance, you can choose to have fuller, richer life by setting a clear intention to transform the victim within, and by inviting into your life the powerful creator that you are.
