阅读下面A、B、C三篇短文。根据短文内容从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

（A）

I was surprised and sad when I was told that I couldn’t probably walk because my leg was badly hurt in the car accident. I felt that my world was dark and life was hopeless.

During my stay in hospital, I met a little boy. He often came to my ward (病房) and played his teddy bear with me. It seemed still nice though it missed an eye. The boy brought me lots of happiness when I was in the lowest spirits.

One day, the boy put his teddy bear on my bed and asked, “Would you help me

take care of the bear, please? Could you help me keep it till I get better?” Before I could answer, he had been taken away by his mother.

I had thought that the boy just had a serious cold, but I was sad when I was told that he had cancer (癌症) and had to start his last period (时期) of treatment. I felt sorry for him and lucky for myself. A little boy could be so confident of getting better. Why couldn’t I do that?

The boy didn’t come to my room anymore, but I would never forget what he gave to me that day. It was much more than a teddy bear. He also gave me the strength to fight against my illness bravely. I would look after the teddy bear forever.

We usually send and receive information through the movement of our bodies. For example, when someone is giving a lecture, he or she may often use his or her hands to emphasize (强调) points or to point out something on the blackboard.

The victory (胜利) sign, the OK sign, the good-bye wave, and the blowing of a kiss are all popular gestures in the

United States. However, most of these gestures are not accepted by people in other countries. For example, the OK gesture means acceptance in the United States, but it has other meanings in other countries. In France, it means worthlessness (无价值),

while in Greece it is a sign of quite disrespect.

There are also some differences between men and women in the non-verbal(非语言的) messages. In

American, men usually sit or stand with their legs apart and hands outward, while women usually keep their legs together and their hands at their sides. Women are more likely to sit quietly than men. Women are also better than men at expressing themselves using gestures.

In short, body language is simple and useful, so we should learn how to use it in our everyday lives.

One of Beijing’s larg est parks, Purple Bamboo Park has five bridges and three lakes. Here you can find locals and tourists exercising, walking about, fishing and chatting among the trees, meandering (弯弯曲曲的) streams and interesting pools. The park was built in 1953. It is a nice free public park, and visitors can enjoy themselves there till 9 p.m. Purple Bamboo Park was once home to the Temple of Longevity (Wanshou Temple), where the Qing rulers could have a rest during their journey from the Forbidden City to the Summer Palace. The temple site is a powerful spot with great views of the park.

You can take a boat tour from Purple Bamboo Park along the Royal Canal all the way to the Summer Palace, just like the Qing Emperors. Though the views

along this boat ride are limited (有限的), the Summer Palace is quite a way outside of the center of town, and going by boat is certainly more enjoyable than sitting in a taxi on the crowded roads. Therefore, arriving just inside the gate of the Summer Palace beside the famous Jade Belt Bridge really does make you feel like an emperor, and makes for a wonderful start to your Summer Palace tour.
