There was once a young man who,after some small achievements,began to feel self-satisfied.
One day,the young man took a walk with a wise man from the town.On the way the young man was bragging(吹牛) about himself, 1 the wise man didn’t say a word.
“Look downward,what do you see?”asked the wise man once they got to 2 peak.
“I see trees,farmland,houses and people as small as ants 3 (work) in the fields,”the young man said.
“What do you feel?”the wise man asked.
“Everything is below me.I feel like I rule the Earth.”The young man answered.The wise man said 4 .But he seemed 5 (think) about something.After a minute,then he asked the young man to look up.“What do you see this time?”the wise man asked.
“I see birds flying around high mountains,the white clouds on the mountains and the blue sky above the white clouds,”the young man answered.
Then he asked the wise man’s 6 (feel).
“I feel small and 7 (power),”the wise man answered.“A person who knows to look upward can clearly understand his position.A person who knows the blue sky is always overhead won’t be 8 foolish as to believe he rule over the Earth or any other people.”
The young man felt 9 (shame) of himself.From then on, 10 he began to feel as if the world owed him something,he looked up at the sky and remembered how small he really was.
Ⅱ.阅读理解【说理议论类】
Happiness can be described as a positive mood and a pleasant state of mind.According to a recent survey,sixty to seventy percent of Americans consider themselves to be moderately happy and one in twenty persons feels very unhappy.Psychologists have been studying the factors that contribute to happiness.It is not predictable,nor is a person in an apparently ideal situation necessarily happy.The ideal situation may have little to do with his actual feelings.
A good education and income are usually considered necessary for happiness.Though both may contribute,they are only chief factors if the person is seriously undereducated or actually suffering from lack of physical needs.
The rich are not likely to be happier than the middle-income group or even those with very low incomes.People with college education are somewhat happier than those who did not graduate from high school,and it is believed that this is mainly because they have more opportunities to control their lives.Yet people with a high income and a college education may be less happy than those with the same income and no college education.
Poor health does not rule out happiness except for the severely disabled or those in pain.Learning to handle a health problem can contribute to happiness.Those who have good relationship with other family members are happier than those who live alone.Love has a closer relationship with happiness than any other factor.
It should be noted that people quickly get used to what they have,and they are happiest when they feel they are increasing their level no matter where it stands at a given time.
Children whose parents were happily married have happier childhoods,but are not necessarily happier adults.
The best rule for happiness is to be able to develop AQ (Adversity Quotient that can be of great benefit when running into trouble),to have a personal involvement and commitment,and to develop self-confidence and self-esteem.

4.nothing 考查代词的用法。由语境可知,听了年轻人的回答,智者什么也没说,故用nothing。

【长难句子分析】
I felt ashamed,when that young boy,unknowing the fact of blood donation,got ready to give his blood,thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister’s life.
这是一个主从复合句,主句为I felt ashamed,从句为when that young boy got ready to give his blood。unknowing the fact of blood donation在句中作定语,修饰that young boy,而thinking that he will lose his life but save his sister’s life在从句中作状语且与主语that young boy之间为主动关系。
当那个不知道献血是怎么回事的小男孩准备献血的时候,他认为他会失去自己的生命但却能救他姐姐的命,我感到羞愧。
