There was once a beautiful nymph called Echo. But Echo had one failing; she was fond of talking, and whether in chat or argument, would have the last word. As she was good company , she and Zeus became good friends. However,Zeus’ wife, Hera, became jealous. She followed Zeus to the earth to find out what he was doing and Zeus asked Echo to distract Hera until he could escape. Later when Hera discovered she had been tricked, she became very angry. She turned on Echo and said, “You shall lose the use of your tongue because you cheated me. You’ll have the last word, bur no longer have the power to speak first.” So from that moment on, Beautiful Echo was hardly able to hold a conversation because she could only repeat the last words of those around her. She became very embarrassed and hid herself deep in the woods.

One day a handsome young man called Narcissus came into the woods. He had been hunting deer and lost his way. However, the moment Echo saw him, she fell in love with him. She followed him, wishing to tell him but unable o begin a conversation. Oh, how she wished she could speak first. Unfortunately, Narcissus was far too busy worrying about where his companions might be and how he could find his way home.

Eventually Narcissus, with Echo following behind along, came to a pool of water in the middle of the woods. Feeling thirsty, Narcissus bent down to drink. As he did so, he saw a beautiful creature in the water staring up at him. . He immediately bent over and said to him, “I love you!” Echo, nearby, and seeing her chance, immediately responded “…. I love you!” But it was too late. Narcissus was already in love, with himself.

`      The stranger seemed to rise up closer to Narcissus who was so involved that he entirely failed to notice Echo. “I want to stay and look at this beautiful sight forever,” he whispered dreamily to himself.”… Forever,” repeated Echo sadly. “Come her,” called Narcissus to his reflection as he moved his head and the creature seemed to move away. “…Here.” responded Echo. Narcissus bent back down to see his reflection more clearly. “So beautiful! I’ve never seen anything so beautiful!” “….So beautiful!” responded Echo truthfully.

Narcissus remained by the water refusing all Echo’s silent offers of food and drink until he died. Where he had been, a flower grew in his place, as beautiful as Narcissus himself. As for Echo, from that time forward, she also didn’t eat or drink till she turned to rocks and all that was left was her voice. Even now you can still hear Echo trying to attract Narcissus’ attention by repeating his words and still see Narcissus as a beautiful flower growing near a pool.

63. Why was Echo unable to  let Narcissus know she loved him?

A. Because she had lost the ability to speak.        B. Because she was too shy to speak first.

C. Because Hera had taken away her ability to speak first.

D.  Because Narcissus took no notice of her.

64. “The stranger” in paragraph 4 refers to ______.

杨梅

鲁彦

  故乡的食物,我没有比这更喜欢的了。倘若我爱故乡,不如就说我完全是爱这叫作杨梅的果子吧。

  啊,相思的杨梅!它有着多么惊异的形状,多么可爱的颜色,多么甜美的滋味呀。它是圆的,和大的龙眼一样大小,远看并不稀奇,拿到手里,原来它是遍身生着刺的哩。这并非是它的壳,这就是它的肉。不知道的人,一定以为这满身生着刺的果子是不能进口的了,否则也须用什么刀子削去那刺的尖端的吧?然而这是过虑。它原来是希望人家爱它吃它的。只要等它渐渐长熟,它的刺也渐渐软了,平了。那时放到嘴里,软滑之外还带着什么感觉呢?没有人能想得到,它还保存着它的特点,每一根刺平滑地在舌尖上触了过去,细腻柔软而且亲切——这甜蜜的感觉,真使人迷醉啊。

  颜色更可爱呢。它最先是淡红的,像娇嫩的婴儿的面颊,随后变成了深红,像是少女的害羞,最后黑红了。原来,是红得太红了,所以像是黑。轻轻地啄开它,我们就看见了那新鲜红嫩的内部,同时我们也染上了一嘴的红水。说它新鲜红嫩,有的人也许以为一定像贵妃的肉色似的荔枝吧?唉,那就错了。荔枝的光色是呆板的,像玻璃,像鱼目;杨梅的光色却是生动的,像映着朝霞的露水。

  滋味吗?没有十分成熟的是酸带甜,成熟了便单是甜。这甜味不使人讨厌,不但爱吃甜食的人尝了一下舍不得丢掉,就连不爱吃甜食的人也会完全给它吸引住,越吃越爱吃。它是甜的,然而又依然是酸的,而这酸味,我们须待吃饱了杨梅以后,再吃别的东西的时候,才能领会得到。那时我们才知道自己的牙齿酸了,软了,连豆腐也咬不动了,于是我们才恍然悟到刚才吃多了“酸”的杨梅。我们知道这个,然而我们仍然爱它,我们仍须吃一个大饱。它真是世上最迷人的东西。

  唉,唉,故乡的杨梅啊!
