One day, when Confucius（孔子） and his students were waling through a large forest, they 1 an old man standing under a tree, catching cicadas（蝉） with a bamboo stic. Confucius was 2 and ased, “How could you catch the cicadas so easily? Do you have any special
3 ?”
“Yes,” the old man answered. “There are many cicadas in this forest. But it is difficult to catch them. Cicadas are 4 little insects. If they hear the noise of the leaves in the wind, they will fly away 5 . Therefore, people who want to catch cicadas must 6 their hands to hold a bamboo stic without shaing. If you can 7 three pellets（弹珠） on the top of the bamboo stic without falling off, catching cicadas is as 8 as picing a ball up from the ground. At the same time, I have to say one can 9 mae it without practicing again and again.”
He then added, “But that is not enough. People must be good at 10 themselves. Right now, I am standing under a tree lie half of a tree stump（树桩）, with my 11 reaching out lie part of a withered twig（枯萎的树枝）. Last of all, one must be attentive（专注的）. 12 I am catching cicadas, I only see the cicada’s wings. No matter what happens, 13 will distract（使……分神） me.”

二、阅读理解（20分）（2017·绍兴市柯桥区模拟）
Have you seen the movie The Shawshan Redemption（《肖申克的救赎》）? If so, you might be moved by Andy, who tries to get freedom by running away from the hopeless prison（监狱）. It is hard to imagine what life would be lie in prison. However, Old Melbourne Gaol gives us such a
chance. It is a museum in Melbourne, which served as prison between 1842 and 1929.
We eperienced being prisoners in the prison. All of us were ased to put down everything and then we were checed. We couldn’t hide anything. After a while, we were given cards with untrue names and charges（指控）. We read the information loudly and then the “police” eplained it in a funny way. For eample, a gentleman’s charge was carrying an illegal weapon（武器） which was actually just an umbrella.
Soon we were divided into groups and went to different rooms. The light was off inside. We could not see anything. All we could hear was our breath. It was the longest five minutes of my life. I was in a tiny room with a number of strangers. I could have the worst feelings as the prisoners. The police finally opened the door and led us to the activity area. We relaed in the sunlight and decided to behave ourselves in the future.
