I learned my first lesson from my grandparents  31   I was young. They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression. Saving for a rainy day was their life philosophy.  32   looking for satisfaction through material items,they chose to lead a simple life together with their family.

Over the years my grandparents notice  33   changes in their community. Every year more farmland was  34   to build larger and larger homes. As real estate (地产) prices rose, many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land. Soon  35   was the only small house surrounded by many other large new houses. My grandparents built and lived in a small 600 square foot cottage for most of their adult lives. Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old house,  36   they didn't want a bigger one. They loved their house and were content  37   what they had.

My grandparents avoided a consumptive (浪费的) lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves. They lived in a small home, but had a huge  38  , where they could grow vegetables and fruits. That reduced their grocery bill, improved their health, and gave them an excuse to be  39  .

From my grandparents, I learned an important lesson: It is possible to live a simple life. My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn't about self-deprivation (自我牺牲).  40  , it's about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to pursue your dreams.

It is the age of the wheel. People have nearly forgotten  41   to use their feet. When we ride, it is the vehicle  42   is moving, not ourselves. We are trapped inside its fixed environment, and once we have taken in its sensory (感官的) aspects—mainly in terms of comfort or discomfort—we  43   our perceptions (感知) and either go to sleep or open a magazine and begin dozing off.

But when we walk, the environment  44   every moment, and our senses are continuously being alerted. Around each corner of a city block, around each bend in a country road, there is  45   new to greet the eyes, the ears, and the nose. Even the  46   walk, the one we may take every day is never the same from one day to another, from one week and season to another.

This is true not only in the country, but  47   at all. In New York City, a group of executives who meet every weekday morning  48   from their homes to their offices. On their daily route they see, hear, and smell the city in all its seasonal changes, under bright and cloudy skies. Only the terrible weather stops them  49   dressed, they can walk with pleasure in spring rain, autumn, drizzle, the sunlight of a summer morning or a soft winter snowfall. As far as I am concerned, I would make walking my priority (首选)  50   it gives me the greatest pleasure.

I have a few things in my mind which I have often longed to say for the instruction of the young, for it is in one's tender early years that such things will best take root and be most enduring and most valuable.

First, always obey your parents, when they are present. This is the best policy in the run because if you do not, they will make you. Most parents think then know better than you do, and you can generally make more by accepting their advice than you can by acting on your own better judgment.

Be respectful to your superiors (上级), if you have any, also to strangers, and sometime to others. If a person offends you, and you are in doubt as to whether it was intentional or not, do no resort to (诉诸) extreme measures. Yes, always avoid violence; in this age of charity and kindliness, the time has gone by for such things.

Go to bed early,get up early. This is wise. Some say get up with the sun; some say get up with one thing, others with another. But a lark is really the best thing to get up with. It gives you a splendid reputation with everybody to know that you get up with the lark.

Now as to the matter of lying, you want to be very careful about lying; otherwise you are nearly sure to get caught. Once caught, you can never again be in the eyes to the good and the pure, what you were before. Many a young person has injured himself permanently through a single ill—finished lie. Some people hold that the young ought not to lie at all. That, of course, is putting it rather stronger than necessary.

56、What was the author's purpose of the speech? ______

A.To offer the youth some information.

B.To comfort parents of the youth.

C.To give the youth some advice.

D.To show his attitude toward life.

57、Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? ______

A.Young people had better act on his/her own judgment.

B.Young people should show respect to his/her superiors.

C.Young people should go to bed early and get up late.

D.Young people should cherish their dreams at an early age.

58、According to the passage, when young people are offended, they should ______.

A.ask for an apology                                B.fight back right away

C.turn to other for help                             D.deal with it by non-violent means

59、What does the underlined part "such things" in Paragraph 3 mean? ______

A.Offence.               B.Violence.               C.Policy.                  D.Intention.

60、What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 probably mean? ______

A.If caught lying, you will be considered a dishonest person.

B.If caught lying, you will be considered a disloyal person.

C.If caught lying, you are sure to hurt other people in some way.

D.If caught lying, you can find an excuse for yourself.
