山西省大同市2024-2025学年高二上学期10月联考英语试题一、阅读理解Arches(拱门)National ParkWhy Go to Arches National ParkA trip to Arches National Park is like visiting another planet with thousands of natural sandstone arches, red rocks and amazing landscapes, as well as light that seems to change all the time. The way the shadows(阴影)pass through the arches makes the park particularly attractive for photographers.Sitting 5 miles northwest of Moab, Utah, the park has 26 miles of scenic road and hikes for every level of fitness.Best Months to VisitThe best time to visit Arches National Park is from April to May and from September to October. In summer, temperatures can go beyond 100 degrees, making exploring the park very uncomfortable. In late summer, violent storms often cause flash floods, which can be quite dangerous. Winter is a good time for sightseeing, with fewer crowds, but occasional snow and ice can make the paths wet, smooth and therefore easy to fall on. However, the visitor center is open daily.What to EatThere are no restaurants or hotels in Arches National Park, so you need to bring your own food or plan to eat in neighboring Moab, Utah, about 5 miles from the park entrance. There are several picnic areas in the park, so plan ahead if you want to eat with Arches as the background.Getting Around Arches National ParkThe best way to get around Arches National Park is by car. There is no public transport inside Arches National Park. Visitors can also ride bikes in the park, but there are no bike lanes or shoulders, so this is more of an option for experienced cyclists.1.What may visitors do at Arches National Park?A.Have dinner in restaurants.B.Take some photographs.C.Learn about another planet.D.Stay in the hotel for a few days.2.What is a disadvantage of visiting the park in winter?A.The risk of falling.B.The danger of flash floods.C.The crowds of tourists.D.The shutdown of the visitor center. 3.Where is this text probably taken from?A.A travel journal.B.A geography book.C.A tourism website.D.An academic article.Eric Carle, the author and artist behind The V ery Hungry Caterpillar and dozens of other children’s books, has passed away at the age of 91. Mr. Carle’s lively, creative and colorful works were loved by children around the world.Mr. Carle was the author or illustrator of over 70 books for children, including The Grouchy Ladybug, The Mixed-Up Chameleon and Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me. The Very Hungry Caterpillar was Mr. Carle’s best-known book. It was published in 1969. Since then, over 55 million copies of the book have been sold, and it has been translated into more than 70 different languages.Mr. Carle was born in Syracuse, New York in 1929. His parents were German. As he was growing up, Mr. Carle spent a lot of time with his father, who would take him out walking in nature. His father would show him small creatures, explaining their life cycles and filling the young boy’s head with wonder.Mr. Carle thinks this helps explain why so many of his books are about nature. Many are about bugs like crickets, fireflies, ladybugs and butterflies. Others are about animals, like foxes, squirrels, kangaroos and bears.In 1952, Mr. Carle got a job as an artist at the New York Times. Author Bill Martin, Jr. asked Mr. Carle to illustrate his book Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?, which is Mr. Carle’s first try. The book came out in 1967 and was a big hit. After that, he created many children’s books that were very popular with his children.Most of Mr. Carle’s books are meant for younger readers. He said that he wanted to help make school a fun and welcoming place. “I believe that children are naturally creative and eager to learn,” he said. “I want to show them that learning is really both fascinating and fun.”Mr. Carle will be missed, and his creative art and sweet, funny stories will continue to bringjoy to very eager readers all around the world.4.When was The Very Hungry Caterpillar published?A.In 1929.B.In 1952.C.In 1967.D.In 1969.5.Why are most of Mr. Carle’s books about nature according to him?A.His parents grew up in the countryside.B.His father led him close to nature.C.Nature gave him a lot of hope.D.The topic on nature is child-friendly. 6.Which of the following is the first picture book illustrated by Eric Carle?A.The Mixed-Up Chameleon.B.The Very Hungry Caterpillar.C.Papa, Please Get the Moon for Me.D.Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See?. 7.What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?A.To remember a great writer.B.To introduce children’s books.C.To encourage kids to read more.D.To draw more concern for kids.A study led by the University of Eastern Finland suggests that teenagers who engage in active school transport (walking/cycling to or from school at least once per week) and leisure-time physical activity perform better at secondary school than their inactive peers (同龄人). Regular leisure-time physical activity was also associated with lower possibilities of school burnout (倦怠). The findings were published in the European Journal of Public Health.The relationship of physical activity and academic achievement is complex. However, previous studies have found that especially school-based physical activity, such as physical education, can improve classroom performance — particularly in mathematics. Despite this, few studies have examined the association between active school transport and educational outcomes.In the recently published study of over 34, 000 teenagers, researchers observed that active school transport was associated with higher chances of high perceived academic performance and self-reported competence in academic skills. Being physically active before school could, for example, enhance concentration in class. The association was even stronger for leisure-time physical activity. Similar to previous studies, the relationship between leisure-time physical activity and mathematical skills stood out.Leisure-time physical activity was also inversely associated (负相关的) with school burnout. As little as 30 minutes of weekly activity was associated with 24% lower possibilities ofschool burnout. Teenagers who engaged in leisure-time physical activity for 4 to 6 hours a week had 46% lower possibilities of school burnout compared to their physically inactive peers. Both leisure-time physical activity and active school transport were also positivelyassociated with school enjoyment.“To the best of my knowledge, this was the first large-scale study to examine the association between physical activity and school burnout among teenagers. Leisure-time physical activity can be an effective way to disconnect from schoolwork and the potential stress related to it. If schools can increase the amount of leisure-time physical activity among youth, both learning and wellbeing benefits can be significant,” said Juuso Jussila, a Doctoral Researcher at the University of Eastern Finland.8.Which aspect of the study does paragraph 1 focus on?A.Its purpose.B.Its subjects.C.Its result.D.Its process. 9.According to the text, the relationship between workout and academic performance is________.A.complex B.clear C.meaningless D.simple10.How may a student cycling to school perform?A.Feel tired in class.B.Pay more attention in class.C.Be afraid of learning mathematics.D.Be eager to do physical activity. 11.What’s Jussila’s suggestion for schools?A.Asking students to respect teachers.B.Teaching students how to be happy.C.Focusing on improving students’ scores.D.Increasing students’ time for physical activity.Humans have a positive view of nature. But is this due to an approach we have learned while growing up, or is it something we are born with? The answer is “Both”, according to researchers at the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Our love of nature is highly individual and should influence how we plan our cities, say the researchers.It is well known that nature has a positive effect on people. In cities in particular, studies have shown that trees and other greenery contribute to people’s wellbeing. However, experts do not agree on the reasons behind this phenomenon.Researchers from the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences have reviewed several studies within this field that examine both innate factors and what individuals experience during their lives, primarily as children.In a Japanese study, subjects were asked to walk in a forest and in a city while their heartbeat was measured. This showed that positive emotions increased in 65% of people while they are walking in a forest. Thus, far from everyone had a positive view of nature.Another environmental psychology study found that research subjects are unconsciously (无意识地) drawn to nature instead of cities, and that this attraction was strengthened in those whose childhood was rich in nature.An additional study on identical and non-identical twins showed that a genetic (遗传的) component influences an individual’s positive or negative relationship with nature. But the study also highlighted the importance of environment in terms of attitudes towards nature.Moreover, nature can mean completely different things to different people. Some enjoy parks with lawns and planted trees, while others prefer being in the wilderness. The researchers believe that this variation is also determined by both genetics and environment.“So it’s important that we don’t standardise nature when planning greenery in our towns and cities,” adds Marcus Hedblom, a researcher at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences and co-author of the article. “We shouldn’t replace wild greenery with a park and assume that it will be good for everyone.”12.How did the author introduce the topic?A.By bringing up an argument.B.By listing a series of facts.C.By referring to different opinions.D.By asking and answering questions. 13.What does the underlined word “innate” in paragraph 3 mean?A.Social.B.Inborn.C.Extra.D.Unique. 14.What did the Japanese study indicate?A.People had a negative experience in nature.B.People were unconsciously drawn to nature.C.All people didn’t respond to nature positively.D.The feeling toward nature was related to childhood.15.What is a suitable title for the text?A.Why Do We Love Nature?B.How Do People Feel in Nature?C.What Makes Nature So Powerful?D.Why Is Nature Important to Humans?Benefits of Sports Camps in SummerWhen you sign up for sports camps for your children, you may have the intention of helping them improve their skills. Although it is a goal in sports camps, there are deeper benefits of taking part in sports camps, 16 .Perseverance(坚持不懈)Sports camps focus on developing a sense of desire to continue to grow by setting reasonable (合理的) goals for children. 17 In this process,the quality of perseverance is developed. With perseverance, children can further overcome the difficulties of learning skills and discouragement from their inner heart.Problem-solving Abilities18 . Whether children are on the field or court, they will face challenging problems they will need to solve for themselves and their team. By solving these problems, their abilities are improved.Self-confidenceThe best way for children to achieve self-confidence is to have positive coaches. With coaches who provide instructions in sports camps, children can apply their strengths and improve their weaknesses. 19 . When children achieve things, their confidence grows.Strategic ThinkingSports camps introduce different ways to carry out strategic thinking. For example, your children will learn how to shoot the ball perfectly and how to kick the ball at the exact force needed to pass it across the field or a short distance. 20 . Instead, they’re learned through trial and error(试错). By practising tricky skills, strategic thinking is encouraged.A.The life of summer camp is wonderfulB.The following are four benefits for you to refer toC.Problem-solving doesn't only occur in the classroomD.That includes helping children develop problem-solving skillsE.But these physical strategies cannot be taught with a paper and pencilF.Children can see the progress they make when they perform different skillsG.Besides,coaches also provide a healthy amount of pressure for your children to perform well二、完形填空You don’t get a second chance to make a first impression—this was the theme of this year’s International Public Speaking Competition(IPSC).

材料一:中国史书叙事有久远的传统,在叙述之范围、对象之抉择以及确保所叙之事的真实性品格等方面,都有丰富的经验积累和理性认识,形成了史学特有的面貌。
从整体面貌来看,中国古代史学记事的范围广泛,从天象运动到人事变迁,从学术流变到典章经制,从一国盛衰到社会百态,都是史书叙述的对象。
《汉书》作者称司马迁“驰骋古今,博极群书”,《后汉书》作者又称《汉书》“文赡而事详”。
《隋书•经籍志》作者对史官提出博闻强识、疏通知远的要求,都说明了中国史书叙事范围之宽广、内容之丰富。
当具体到某一部历史著作时,叙事范围往往受到史家见识、旨趣的牵引,所叙之“事”有大小、轻重之分。
《左传》记事,以“国之大事在祀与戎”为其要旨。
司马迁概括《史记》的撰述范围是“究天人之际,通古今之变”,即通过本纪、世家、列传、表、书五种体裁网络历史变迁,在整体史的背景下揭示出人事在历史进程中的作用。
班固《汉书》意在包举一代史事,故其所叙之“事”皆围绕皇朝统治的方方面面展开。
杜佑在《通典•自序》中申言“所撰《通典》,实采群言,征诸人事,将施有政”。
凡此,皆表明史家主体思想倾向直接影响到史书叙事的范围。
古代史家对于史书所当书者又有理论性的探讨。
荀悦写《汉纪》,于卷首明确提出“立典有五志”论,意在通过达道义、彰法式、道古今、著功勋、表贤能五个方面,写出“天人之际”和“事物之宜”。

(9分,每小题3分)“丹培拉”与东方意蕴程俊礼①绘画材料与作品的画面品质及技法、语言有着紧密的联系。
纵观西方绘画,材料几经变更,语言也从客观写实转向艺术家主观情感的自由表达。
西方艺术家曾从日本浮世绘等亚洲艺术中汲取营养,但是对于中国画水墨意蕴和中国画所特有的精神情感的表意方式却鲜有深入探究。
为了寻求更广阔的艺术表达空间,我尝试运用“丹培拉”这一西方传统绘画形式来表现中国画的意象韵味,以求赋予这一传统绘画形式以新的面貌,借此展开我的艺术探索。
②“丹培拉”是英语Tempera的音译,通常称作“蛋彩画”,起源于古希腊、古罗马时期,是欧洲最古老的画种之一。
丹培拉主要以蛋清或蛋黄等易融水媒介作为绘画颜料的调和剂,有多种混合方式。
它多水时薄如水彩,透明流畅;少水时则饱满沉稳,速干的特性适于多层次的细腻描绘。
在中世纪基督教美术中,丹培拉得到了前所未有的发展,并在文艺复兴时期达到顶峰,16世纪随着油画的兴起逐渐衰退,但至今仍广为流传,成就了伦勃朗、波提切利、弗朗西斯科、安德鲁·怀斯等绘画大师和他们的传世经典之作,体现出丹培拉独特的艺术魅力。
③多层次的描绘让传统丹培拉绘画的制作过程耗时费力。
但其速干的特性是否也适用于主观情感的即时宣泄?是否为表现中国画的意象韵味提供了可能性呢?我在艺术实践中常常思考,如何将丹培拉和中国传统绘画的思想表述相融会,如何以一种中国式的写意观,在丹培拉色彩的流动中表达个人生存体验和对大自然的审美解读。
④中国画强调“意在笔先”。
“意”与意境、意象相关,是画家在情景交融的状态下物我合一的艺术表达。
正是在“意”的挥写中,画家将自然的存在状态与人的生命形态进行了链接,就像孔子“智者乐水,仁者乐山”的阐释一般。
“外师造化,中得心源”。
我试图在丹培拉的色彩挥写中,追求客观描摹和主观精神的发挥中主客观统一的审美意境,体悟王国维的“有我之境”和“无我之境”。

山西省大同市阳高县第一中学2016-2017学年高二语文上学期第三次模块考试试题(含解析)一、现代文阅读(9分,每小题3分)阅读下面的文字,完成小题。
①服饰作为一种文化形态,贯穿了中国古代各个时期的历史。
从服饰的演变中可以看出历史的变迁、经济的发展和中国文化审美意识的嬗变。
无论是商的“威严庄重”,周的“秩序井然”,战国的“清新”,汉的“凝重”,还是六朝的“清瘦”,唐的“丰满华丽”,宋的“理性美”,元的“粗壮豪放”,明的“敦厚繁丽”,清的“纤巧”,无不体现出中国古人的审美设计倾向和思想内涵。
但某一时期的审美设计倾向、审美意识也并非凭空产生的,它必然根植于特定的时代,在纷乱复杂的社会现实生活中,只有将这种特定的审美意识放在特定的社会历史背景下加以考察才能见其原貌。
②中国古代,等级制度森严,受这种等级制度“礼”的影响,古代服饰文化作为社会物质和精神的外化是“礼”的重要内容,为巩固自身地位,统治阶级把服饰的装身功能提高到突出地位,服装除能蔽体之外,还被当作分贵贱、别等级的工具,是阶级社会的形象代言人。
③服饰就如同一种符号,古代社会中服装有严格的区分,不同的服饰代表着一个人属于不同的社会阶层,这就是“礼”的表现。
《礼记》中对衣着等级作了明文规定:“天子龙衮,诸侯黼,大夫黻,士玄衣纁裳;天子之冕,朱绿藻十有二旒,诸侯九,上大夫七,下大夫五,士三:以此文为贵也。
”《周礼》中记载:“享先王则衮冕。
”表明祭祀大礼时,帝王百官皆穿礼服。
春秋战国时期的诸子百家对服装的“礼”性功能亦有精辟见解。
如儒家提倡“宪章文武”约之以礼,这种观点的提出是其与其封建等级制度的捍卫者的形象密不可分的。
④这种“礼”的功能还表现在服装的色彩上,如孔子曾宣称“恶紫之夺朱也”(《论语·阳货》)。
因为朱是正色,紫是间色,他要人为地给正色和间色定各位,别尊卑,以巩固等级制度,历史上“白衣”“苞头”“皂隶”“绯紫”“黄袍”“乌纱帽”“红顶子”等等,都是在一定时期内,某种颜色附丽于某种服饰而获得了代表某种地位和身份的例子。

(25分)幸福(苏联)高尔基有一次幸福离我如此之近,我几乎抓住了它温柔的手。
这事发生在散步的时候。
一个炎热的夏夜,一大群年轻人聚在伏尔加河畔捕鲟渔民的牧场上。
大家坐在篝火旁,喝着渔民们煨的鱼汤,饮着伏特加和啤酒,谈论怎样更快更好地把世界建设起来。
后来,大家都感到身心疲倦了,便纷纷跑到已经刈割过的草地上歇息了。
我和一个姑娘离开了篝火,我觉得她聪明又伶俐。
她有一双漂亮的黑眼睛,她的谈吐里总是流露出朴素纯真的感情来。
这个姑娘待一切人都十分温和。
我们走得远远的,肩并着肩,在我们的脚下,草茎被踩折了,发出唰唰的声响。
天穹的透明酒杯向大地倾泻出月亮清辉的醉人气息。
“多美啊!像非洲的沙漠一样,那草垛就是金字塔……”接着她提议,像白天一样,坐在干草垛上,在浓浓的圆形阴影里,草螽鸣叫着,远处有人悲凉地唱道:“哎,为什么你背叛我?”我开始热烈地为姑娘讲述我所熟悉的生活,讲述了我不能理解的生活。
可是,她突然轻轻地叫了一声,仰面倒了下去。
这,大概是我第一次见到晕倒,刹那间我感到惊慌失措,想喊,想求援,但立刻想到我熟悉的小说中品德高尚的英雄,在这种场合下应该做些什么。
于是我就解开她的衣领绦子,好让她能松快地喘气。
这时,看着她美丽的面庞,我脑子里嗡的一下,如火燎一般,想去吻她。
可是,我立即打消了这个念头,拼命地奔到河边去取水,因为按照圣书上写的,在类似的情况下,万一出事地点没有小溪——这是小说的聪明作者事先设置的,英雄总是跑去找水的。
我捧着盛满水的帽子,像烈马一样,在草地上跳着跑了回来。
这时,害病的姑娘已经倚着草垛站了起来,被我弄乱的衣服也都整理得井井有条了。
“不要。
”——姑娘用手推开我的湿帽子,疲乏地说。
她离开我,朝篝火边走去,那里有两个大学生和统计员依然悲吟着那支令人厌烦的歌儿:“哎,为什么你背叛我?”“我没有给您带来痛苦吧?”——姑娘的沉默使我困惑,我问道。

绳子的故事莫泊桑这是个赶集的日子。
戈德维尔的集市广场上,人群和牲畜混在一起,黑压压一片。
整个集市都带着牛栏、牛奶、牛粪、干草和汗臭的味道,散发着种田人所特有的那种难闻的人和牲畜的酸臭气。
布雷奥戴村奥士高纳大爷正在向集市广场走来。
突然他发现地下有一小段绳子,奥士高纳大爷具有诺曼底人的勤俭精神,他弯下身去,从地上捡起了那段细绳子。
这时他发现自己的冤家对头马具商马朗丹大爷在自家门口瞅着他,颇感坍台【注】。
他立即将绳头藏进罩衫,接着又藏入裤子口袋,然后很快便消失在赶集的人群中去了。
教堂敲响了午祷的钟声,集市的人群渐渐散去。
朱尔丹掌柜的店堂里,坐满了顾客。
突然,客店前面的大院里响起了一阵鼓声,传达通知的乡丁拉开嗓门背诵起来:“今天早晨,九、十点钟之间,有人在勃兹维尔大路上遗失黑皮夹子一只。
内装法郎五百,单据若干。
请拾到者立即交到乡政府,或者曼纳维尔村乌勒布雷克大爷家。
送还者得酬金法郎二十。
”午饭已经用毕,这时,宪兵大队长突然出现在店堂门口。
他问道:“布雷奥戴村奥士高纳大爷在这儿吗?”坐在餐桌尽头的奥士高纳大爷回答说:“在。
”于是宪兵大队长又说:“奥士高纳大爷,请跟我到乡政府走一趟,乡长有话要对您说。
”乡长坐在扶手椅里等着他。
“奥士高纳大爷,”他说,“有人看见您今早捡到了曼纳维尔村乌勒布雷克大爷遗失的皮夹子。
马朗丹先生,马具商,他看见您捡到啦。
”这时老人想起来了,明白了,气得满脸通红。
“啊!这个乡巴佬!他看见我捡起的是这根绳子,您瞧!”他在口袋里摸了摸,掏出了那一小段绳子。
但是乡长摇摇脑袋,不肯相信。
他和马朗丹大爷当面对了质,后者再次一口咬定他是亲眼看见的。
根据奥士高纳大爷的请求,大家抄了他的身,但什么也没抄着。
最后,乡长不知如何处理,便叫他先回去,同时告诉奥士高纳大爷,他将报告检察院,并请求指示。
消息传开了。
老人一走出乡政府就有人围拢来问长问短,于是老人讲起绳子的故事来。
他讲的,大家听了不信,一味地笑。
他走着走着,凡是碰着的人都拦住他问,他也拦住熟人,不厌其烦地重复他的故事,把只只口袋都翻转来给大家看。
他生气,着急,由于别人不相信他而恼火,痛苦,不知怎么办,总是向别人重复绳子的故事。
第二天,午后1时左右,依莫维尔村的农民布列东大爷的长工马利于斯•博迈勒,把皮夹子和里面的钞票、单据一并送还给了曼纳维尔村的乌勒布雷克大爷。
这位长工声称确是在路上捡着了皮夹子,但他不识字,所以就带回家去交给了东家。
消息传到了四乡。
奥士高纳大爷得到消息后立即四处游说,叙述起他那有了结局的故事来。
他整天讲他的遭遇,在路上向过路的人讲,在酒馆里向喝酒的人讲,星期天在教堂门口讲。
不相识的人,他也拦住讲给人家听。
现在他心里坦然了,不过,他觉得有某种东西使他感到不自在。
人家在听他讲故事时,脸上带着嘲弄的神气,看来人家并不信服。
他好像觉得别人在他背后指指戳戳。
下一个星期二,他纯粹出于讲自己遭遇的欲望,又到戈德维尔来赶集。
他朝克里格多村的一位庄稼汉走过去。
这位老农民没有让他把话说完,在他胸口推了一把,冲着他大声说:“老滑头,滚开!”然后扭转身就走。
奥士高纳大爷目瞪口呆,越来越感到不安。
他终于明白了,人家指责他是叫一个同伙、一个同谋,把皮夹子送回去的。
他想抗议。
满座的人都笑了起来,他午饭没能吃完便在一片嘲笑声中走了。
他回到家里,又羞又恼。
愤怒和羞耻使他痛苦到了极点。
他遭到无端的怀疑,因而伤透了心。
于是,他重新向人讲述自己的遭遇,故事每天都长出一点来,每天都加进些新的理由,更加有力的抗议,更加庄严的发誓。
他的辩解越是复杂,理由越是多,人家越不相信他。
他眼看着消瘦下去。
将近年底时,他卧病不起。
年初,他含冤死去。
临终昏迷时,他还在证明自己是清白无辜的,一再说:“一根细绳……乡长先生,您瞧,绳子在这儿。
”(有删改)【注】坍台:吴方言,丢脸。
(1)下列对小说有关内容的分析和概括,最恰当的两项是______A.奥士高纳大爷在赶集路上捡到一段绳子,因被冤家陷害,又受到众人奚落,最后忧郁而死,小说通过这一故事,主要反映了小人物的性格悲剧。

C.马具商是农村小奸商,他狡猾、阴险、诡诈,通过他的行为和举动,可以看出,他的处世哲学具有广泛的社会基础。
D.小说的语言简练而富有表现力,通篇没有纤巧华美的辞藻,淡淡的幽默与辛辣的讽刺相交织,使全文呈现出含蓄冷峻的风格特点。
E.这篇小说叙事详略得当,巧妙地处理了“赶集”这样一个特定环境中的群众场面和主要人物的关系,使主要人物形象鲜明,个性突出。

9.阅读下文,完成下列各题。
树上的天使[美国]玛雅•瑞诺德斯•拉特森又来了,这些烦人的松鼠!我拽过枕头,狠狠地蒙住自己的脸,试图阻挡头顶上传来的噪音。
然而,那些声响就如同魔音入脑般挥之不去。
“该死的松鼠!”我暗暗咒骂。
每到半夜,屋外的松鼠们就开始搬运它们的美食--山核桃。
而我却每每被山核桃砸落在屋顶上的声音吵醒,然后无奈地睁着双眼,听着头顶上山核桃不断砸在屋顶,再“咕噜噜”地滚落到地面的声音。
天知道我对此刻的清醒有多么的恐惧,我简直快要崩溃了!因为每到这个时候,我的脑子就会不由自主地想到那些如雪片般飞来的账单以及我已经拖欠了房东许久的租金。
就在昨天,我刚刚向房东保证,会尽快结清所有的欠款并支付下周80美元的租金。
房东答应了,但我想,她的耐心会很快宣布告罄。
我是个初出校园的毛头小子,一点赚钱的门路都没有,而我头顶上还有恼人的松鼠让我不得不在半夜保持清醒。
无奈之下,我唯有打开《圣经》寻求帮助。
忽然,我看到了这样一段话:“不要为明天忧虑。
看天空中的飞鸟,它们既不播种也不收获,天父照样养活它们;野地里的百合花从来也不纺织,天父还打扮它们,给它们美丽的衣裳;地上的小草今天还在,明天就被扔进炉子烧了,天父还给它们青翠的外衣,更何况你们呢?岂不比它们贵重得多吗?”我暗暗祈祷:主啊!既然您能喂养飞鸟,还有那些松鼠,我相信您也会保佑我的。
最后,在被众多琐事折磨得筋疲力尽之后,我终于昏昏睡去。
第二天,我起了个大早,赶去教堂。
会餐后,一位老妇人问我,能否送她回家。
她告诉我,她的卡车坏了。
“当然可以。
”我说。
在去她家的路上,她问我:“你喜欢吃山核桃吗?”山核桃?!我僵硬地笑了笑,反问道:“你为什么这么问?”我的耳边仿佛又响起了那些山核桃砸落的声音。
“我以20美元一袋的价格将它们卖给一家农场。
”她回答道,“如果你喜欢,我可以以低一点的价格卖给你一袋,以报答你送我回家。
”就算白送我也不要。
“不了,谢谢。
”我说。
我将她安全地送到了家,然后驱车返回。
一到家,我便倒在了床上,我太累了,也许我该午休片刻。
但又一次,松鼠的骚动声在我头顶响起。
这还没到半夜呢!我愤愤地想,它们就不能让我有片刻的安宁吗?突然,就像被一个山核桃猛地砸中了脑袋,我灵光一闪:我明白了,财富就在我的头顶上!我从床上一跃而起,冲出屋子。
