• 12．I walked along the sidewalk that borders the west side of Central Park this morning，wondering at its shape：Hexagonal（六邊形的） paving stones underneath my feet were bordered by brickwork，with a tidy stone wall running alongside.Just past the wall lay the park itself，where delicate branches of leafless trees reached to the blue sky，and sparrows emerged from trees.
     The contrast between the straight-lined，orderly，man-made sidewalk and the complex diversity of nature just beyond its border made me think about the differences between natural creation and man's creation.
     The world holds many examples of circles：the moon，grapes，drops of water and the center of flowers.Triangles（三角形） are readily evident，too.There are kitty cat noses and ears，mountain peaks and river deltas.
     But what about the most common shape in the man-made world，the rectangle（矩形）？I searched my brain for natural equals.Though I thought and thought，I came up with only two：teeth and salt crystals.That surprised me.Do we prefer rectangles simply because it's easier to plan and build with blocks and straight lines？Or does it have something to do with the idea that humans tend to assume life is supposed to be linear？I don't know.
     There are bent lines everywhere.As I look at the beauty of，a tree in winter，with its branches reaching skyward in a seemingly untidy but obviously planned pattern，I can apprehend something of what that means.
     Our world isn't always tidy and predictable in the way that I want it to be.There are twists and turns in my life that I can't foresee or predict.That doesn't mean branching off in unexpected directions is bad or wrong.It means that when I find myself in each new place，I need to continue growing and reaching upward.
  
  （1）How did the author feel about the sidewalk's shape？

  
  A．disappointed.
  B．surprised.
  C．worried.
  D．pleased.
  （2）What is the author' s attitude to the various shapes mentioned in the text？

  
  A．negative.
  B．cautious.
  C．unconcerned.
  D．objective.
  （3）Which can explain the underlined word "apprehend" in paragraph 5？

  
  A．create.
  B．imagine.
  C．understand.
  D．arrange.
  （4）What may the author agree with？

  
  A．People should live in a complex world.
  B．Triangles are the most common in nature.
  C．Natural creation and man's creation should be balanced.
  D．We should move forward in the face of uncertainties.

• 13．I once met a young woman who had dreams of swimming for the U.S Olympic team.She had to get up every morning at 4 a.m.to swim for 3 hours before going to school.She did not party with her friends on Saturday night.She had to study and keep her grades up，just like everyone else.
     When I asked her what compelled her with such super-human ambition and sacrifice（犧牲），she simply said. "I do it for myself and the people I love.It's love that gets me over the hurdles and sacrifices."
     A reason or a purpose is a combination of "wants" and "don't wants. "When people ask me what my reason for wanting to be rich is，it is a combination of deep emotional "wants" and "don't wants."
     I will list a few.First the "don't wants." for they create the "wants." I don't want to work all my life.I don't want what my parents aspired for，which was job security and a big house.I don't like being an employee.I hated it that my dad always missed my football games because he was so busy working on his career.I hated it when my dad worked hard all his life and the government took most of what he worked for at his death.
     Now the "wants".I want to be free to travel the world and live in the lifestyle I love.I want to be young when I do this.I want control over my time and my life.I want money to work for me.
     Those are my deep-seated，emotional reasons.What are yours？If they are not strong enough，the reality of the road ahead may be greater than your reasons.I have lost money and been set back many times.but it was the deep emotional reasons that kept me standing up and going forward.I wanted to be free by age 40.but it took me until I was 47 with many learning experiences along the way.
     I wish I could say it was easy.It wasn't，but it wasn't hard either.But without a strong reason or purpose anything in life is hard.
  
  （1）The passage is started by

  .

  C．the "don't wants" have little to do with the "wants"
  D．the "don't wants" are more important than the "wants"
  （4）What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Para.6？
