　　The Atlantic Ocean, named for the lost island of Atlantis in very old stories, has made up for the romantic beginning of its name by becoming the most important business highway in the world; yet traces (痕跡) of romance are continually mixed with the business of the sea.

　　For instance, the Spanish adventurers who first sought gold and silver in America frequently found their ships stopped because there was no wind, usually on the edge of the steady trade winds ---- about 30 degrees north or south latitude (緯度). A sailing ship could carry only so much water, and as it lay still under a hot sun for days or weeks, the severe pains of thirst would make anyone dying or go away forever.

　　The horses were generally the first victims (犧牲品);they had to be thrown overboard when they died or became mad with thirst. Because the Spanish gentlemen thought highly of their horses, even believing they had souls after their death, they suffered bitter regret and believed the ghosts (靈魂) of the proud war horses would so often come to the scene; and they saw the restless spirits in their dreams and related their dreams to sailors.

　　Whenever the seamen passed that way, they would see in the waves or clouds images of wild horses bearing down on them; they began to call the broad belts of calm the “horse latitudes”. The romantic name by which they are known today.

(1)According to the passage, Atlantic ________.

[　　]

A．probably did not exist even long, long ago

B．was an island named after the ocean in which it was supposed to have existed

C．was surely an actual island which had disappeared

D．was the name of an island given by the Spanish adventurers

(2)Today the Atlantic is ________.

[　　]

A．romantic, rather than businesslike

B．completely lacking in romance

C．less important to business than in the days of the sailing ships

D．more important to business than in the days of the sailing ships

(3)The area of “horse latitudes” was dangerous because ________.

[　　]

A．ships could easily sink there

B．there was no wind there

C．ships were overloaded with horses

D．there were souls of dead horses often making trouble to seamen.

(4)Dying horses were probably thrown overboard in order to ________.

[　　]

A．save water

B．lighten the ship

C．spare them the serious pains of thirst

D．spare the men the trouble of caring for them

My husband and I were once in Nepal (尼泊爾) to see sunrise over the Himalayas.

    One morning we awoke to total darkness at 5 o’clock. As we rushed through a town with cameras in hand, I noticed the calm, gentle way the Nepalese people greeted the morning. One man boiled a huge pot of milk tea, and other villagers gathered around his fire, cupping their hands around small glasses of the steaming sweet mixture. It was fascinating, but not to be left behind, we joined the stream of tourists moving quickly up to the lookout point.

     The top was crowded when we arrived, but after 10 minutes of cold waiting, the assembled group gave up. “The cloud cover is too heavy,”one said. Then one by one they rushed down the hill to the next item on their sightseeing list. I was disappointed as well, but suddenly I noticed a small Nepalese boy absently playing with a stick and shooting quick glances at the clouds. He must know something we don’t, I thought. I decided to wait with him.

     The boy and I didn’t have to wait long. Moments later,a tiny stream of golden light burned through one thick cloud, then another. Rose-colored fog warmed the backs of the clouds, and suddenly the morning sun stole a glance around the side of the mountain, mile above where I’d expected it to be.

     Nothing I’d seen before prepared me for the moment the clouds withdrew with bowed heads, and the magnificent Himalayas were revealed before, around, and above me. I sat in astonishment, not breathing, not daring to look away, certain that God had placed me here at the backdoor of Earth to show me what Heaven really looks like. I certainly got the message. Never again will I rush a sunrise. I now know Nature will supply her fruits to me only when I am truly ready to receive them.

1.What does “It” in Paragraph 2 most probably imply?

A. The darkness of the town in the morning.

B. The huge pot of milk tea boiling on the fire.

C. The way the local people welcomed the day.

D. The stream of tourists rushing to the lookout point.

2.The author decided to wait with the Nepalese boy because _____.

A. she felt kind of having faith in him

B. the restless tourists disappointed her

C. that boy was praying to the sun with a magic stick

D. she had nothing more to see on her sightseeing list

3.What can be concluded from the passage?

A. Do in Rome as the Romans do.

B. God helps those who help themselves.

C. Time and tide wait for no man.

D. Fortune rewards those having patience.
