• 3．Larry was on another of his underwater expeditions（探險(xiǎn)）but this time，it was different．He decided to take his daughter along with him．She was only ten years old．This would be her first trip with her father on what he had always been famous for．
     Larry first began diving when he was his daughter's age．Similarly，his father had taken him along on one of his expeditions．Since then，he had never looked back．Larry started out by renting diving suits from the small diving shop just along the shore．He had hated them．They were either too big or too small．Then，there was the instructor．He gave him a short lesson before allowing him into the water with his father．He had made an exception．Larry would never have been able to go down without at least five hours of theory and another similar number of hours on practical lessons with a guide．Children his age were not even allowed to dive．
     After the first expedition，Larry's later diving adventures only got better and better．There was never a dull moment．In his black and blue suit and with an oxygen tank fastened on his back，Larry dived from boats into the middle of the ocean．Dangerous areas did not prevent him from continuing his search．Sometimes，he was limited to a cage underwater but that did not bother him．At least，he was still able to take photographs of the underwater creatures．
     Larry's first expedition without his father was in the Cayman Islands．There were numerous diving spots in the area and Larry was determined to visit all of them．Fortunately for him，a man offered to take him around the different spots for free． Larry didn't even know what the time was，how many spots he dived into or how many photographs he had taken． The diving spots afforded such a wide array of fish and sea creatures that Larry saw more than thirty varieties of creatures．
     Larry looked at his daughter．She looked as excited as he had been when he was her age．He hoped she would be able to continue the family tradition．Already，she looked like she was much braver than had been then．This was the key to a successful underwater expedition．

• 4．People aren't walking any more---if they can figure out a way to avoid it．
     I felt superior about this matter until the other day I took my car to mail a small parcel．The journey is a matter of 281 steps．But I used the car．And I wasn't in a hurry，either，I had merely become one more victim of a national sickness：motorosis．
     It is an illness to which I had thought myself immune，for I was bred in the tradition of going to places on my own two legs．At that time，we regarded 25 miles as good day's walk and the ability to cover such a distance in ten hours as sign of strength and skill．It did not occur to us that walking was a hardship．And the effect was lasting．When I was 45 years old I raced -and beat-a teenage football player the 168 steps up the Stature of Liberty．
     Such enterprises today are regarded by many middle-aged persons as bad for the heart．But a well-known British physician，Sir Adolphe Abrhams，pointed out recently that hearts and bodies need proper……is more likely to have illnesses than one who exercises regularly．And walking is an ideal form of exercise--- the most familiar and natural of all．
     It was Henry Thoreau who showed mankind the richness of going on foot．The man walking can learn the trees，flower，insects，birds and animals，the significance of seasons，the very feel of himself as a living creature in a living world．He cannot learn in a car．
     The car is a convenient means of transport，but we have made it our way of life．Many people don't dare to approach Nature any more；to them the world they were born to enjoy is all threat．To them security is a steel river thundering on a concrete road．And much of their thinking takes place while waiting for the traffic light to turn green．
     I say that the green of forests is the mind's best light．And none but the man on foot can evaluate what is basic and everlasting．
  
  （1）What is the national sickness？

  
  A．Walking too much．
  B．Traveling too much．
  C．Driving cars too much．
  D．Climbing stairs too much．
  （2）What was life like when the author was young？

  
  A．People usually went around on foot．
  B．People often walked 25 miles a day．
  C．People used to climb the Statue of Liberty．
  D．People considered a ten-hour walk as a hardship．
  （3）The author mentions Henry Thoreau to prove that

  ．
  A．middle-aged people like getting back to nature
  B．walking in nature helps enrich one's mind
  C．people need regular exercise to keep fit
  D．going on foot prevents heart disease
  （4）What is compared to "a steel river" in Paragraph 6？

  
  A．A queue of cars
  B．A ray of traffic light
  C．A flash of lightning
  D．A stream of people
  （5）What is the author's intention of writing this passage？

  
  A．To tell people to reflect more on life．
  B．To recommend people to give up driving．
  C．To advise people to do outdoor activities．
  D．To encourage people to return to walking．

• 5．Building Trust in a Relationship Again Trust is a learned behavior that we gain from past experiences．（1）

  Trust is a risk．But you can't be successful when there's a lack of trust in a relationship that results from an action where the wrongdoer takes no responsibility to fix the mistake．
     Unfortunately，we've all been victims of betrayal．Whether we've been suffer from，lied to，misled，or cheated on，there are different levels of losing trust．Sometimes people simply can't trust anymore．
     （2）

  It's understandable，but if you're willing to build trust in a relationship again，we have some steps you can take to get you there．
     ?（3）

  Having confidence in yourself will help you make better choices because you can see what the best outcome would be for your well-being．
     ?（4）

  If you've been betrayed，you are the victim of your circumstance．But there's a difference between being a victim and living with a "victim mentality"．At some point in all of our lives，we'll have our trust tested or violated．
     ? You didn't lose "everything"．Once trust is lost，what is left？Instead of looking at the situation from this hopeless angle，look at everything you still have and be thankful for all of the good in your life． （5）

  Instead，it's a healthy way to work through the experience to allow room for positive growth and forgiveness．
  
  A．Learn to really trust yourself．
  B．It is putting confidence in someone．
  C．Stop regarding yourself as the victim．
  D．Remember that you can expect the best in return．
  E．They've been too badly hurt and they can't bear to let it happen again．
