There are two dangers to be guarded against in old age. One of these is undue (過(guò)度的) absorption (專注) in the past. There is no need to live in memories,in regrets for the good old days,or in sadness about friends who are dead. 1      ,and to things about which there is something to be done.

It is unwise to be too attached to the youth in hopes of sucking vigor from their vitality (活力) . 2      ,they want to live their own lives,and if you continue to be as interested in them as you were when they were young,you are likely to become a burden to them,unless they are cold to you.

I think a successful old age is easier for those who have strong impersonal interests involving proper activities. 3      ,both because they will not believe you,and because mistakes are an essential part of education. But if you are one of those who are incapable of impersonal interests,and you only concern yourself with your children and grandchildren,then you must realize that while you can still give them material services,such as making them an allowance,you must not expect that they will enjoy your company.

4       But in fact the best way is to make your interests gradually wider and more impersonal. An individual human's existence should be like a river―small at first,rushing passionately past rocks and over waterfalls. 5      ,and the banks move back and in the end they become merged (融入) in the sea without any visible break.

The old man who can see life in this way will not suffer from the fear of growing old and death.

   A. Gradually the river grows wider

   B. When your children have grown up

   C. Family will always be the sweetest place.

   D. Some old people are afraid of death.

   E. One's thoughts must be directed to the future

   F. We should change ourselves to suit the world.

Many animals are in danger of dying out. A recent study shows that various kinds of wild animals had decreased sharply in the past decades. With 30,000 wild animals reduced at average each year,there were only 1. 5 million left till 2014.

There are several reasons accounted for this problem. Apart from the polluting environment and natural disasters,illegal killing is important reason. Human beings are making attempts to hunt wild animals for a big profit,this has resulted in a sharp decrease in the number of animals.

In my opinion,it is high time that we must take quick action to protect them. A national publicly campaign should be launched to give animals a good living environment. In addition to,the government should pass some firm laws to forbid animal killing. Only with this way can we live in harmony with wild animals.

There are two factors which determine an individual's intelligence. The first is the sort of brain he is born with. 1       But no matter how good a brain he has to begin with,an individual will have a low level of intelligence unless he has opportunities to learn. 2       If an individual is disabled environmentally,it is likely that his brain will fail to develop and he will never attain the level of intelligence of which he is capable.

The importance of environment in determining an individuaFs intelligence can be demonstrated by the case history of the identical twins,Peter and Mark X. Being identical,the twins had identical brains at birth,and their growth processes were the same. When the twins were three months old,their parents died. 3       Peter was raised by parents of low intelligence in an isolated community with poor educational opportunities. 4       He was read to as a child,sent to good schools,and given every opportunity to be stimulated (刺激) intellectually. This environmental difference continued until the twins were in their late teens,when they were given tests to measure their intelligence. Mark's I. Q. was 125,twentyfive points higher than the average and fully forty points higher than his identical brother. 5      

   A. So the second factor is what happens to the individual.

   B. Meanwhile,Mark was adopted by a poor foster home.

   C. Then they were placed in separate foster homes (收養(yǎng)家庭) .

   D. Human brains differ considerably,some being more capable than others.

   E. Mark was raised in the home of well-to-do parents who had been to college.

   F. Secondly,whether you are brought up in a city or a poor village is also significant.

   G. Given equal opportunities,the twins would have tested at roughly the same level.

Three Cups of Tea is a true story of our time. In 1993,a young American mountain climber named Greg Mortenson walked into a tiny village high in Pakistan's beautiful and poor Karakoram Himalaya region. Sick,exhausted,and depressed after failing to climb the summit of K2,Mortenson regained his strength and his will to live due to the generosity of the people of the village of Korphe. Before he left,he made a promise that would completely change both the villagers' lives and his own―he would return and build them a school.

1       The region was remote and dangerous as a breeding ground (滋生地) for terrorists. In the course of his work,Mortenson was taken prisoner and threatened with death. He suffered from local opposition,deep misunderstandings,jealousy,not to mention dangerous roads and extreme weather. But he believed strongly that balanced,nonextremist education,for boys and girls alike,was the most effective way to fight the violent discrimination that breeds terrorism. 2       Mortenson first approached Karakoram as a climber and he never lost the mountaineer's appreciation for the region's simple beauty and incredible physical challenges. His coauthor (合著者) David Oliver Relin skillfully described highaltitude landscapes. 3       In the course of this description,readers came to know Mortenson as a friend,a husband and father,a traveling companion,a son and brother,and also as an imperfect human being. Relin was not shy away from describing the man's annoying qualities―his impatience,disorganization and sleeplessness. 4       Pakistan and Afghanistan appeared in the news as the breeding grounds of terrorist training camps. In Three Cups of Tea,Mortenson and Relin took readers behind the headlines to reveal the true heart and soul of this region,5       .

   A. But Mortenson never asked others to make sacrifices that he had not already made himself time and time again.

   B. Today,Mortenson's Central Asia Institute had constructed fiftyfive schools,and his work continued.

   C. Greg Mortenson promised to build a school for the villagers of Korphe to show appreciation for their generosity.

   D. and to show how one man's promise might be enough to change the world

   E. The book described how Mortenson kept this promise and many more in the high country of Pakistan and Afghanistan.

   F. Greg Mortenson has devoted so much to building schools because he believes that education is the best way to fight discrimination that leads to terrorism.

   G. Gradually he transformed himself from a poor climber to a director of a helpful institute.
