Dr.Ferguson energetically pushed the preparations for his departure,and in person directed the construction of his balloon.For a long time past he had been applying himself to the study of the Arab language and the various Mandingoe idioms,and,thanks to his talents in language,he had made rapid progress.
In the meanwhile,his friend,the sportsman,never let him out of
his sight-afraid,no doubt,that the doctor might take his departure,without saying a word to anybody.On this subject,he tried to discourage him with the most persuasive arguments,which,however,did NOT persuade Samuel Ferguson,and wasted his breath,by which the latter seemed to be but slightly moved.In fine,Dick felt that the doctor was slipping through his fingers.
The poor Scot was really to be pitied.He could not look upon the
blue sky without a wild terror: when asleep,he felt dizziness(眩晕)that made his head turn around;and every night he had visions of crashing down from immeasurable heights.
We must add that,during these nightmares,he once or twice fell out of bed. His first care then was to show Ferguson a severe bump(肿块)that he had received on the fall.“And yet,”he
would add,with warmth,“that was at the height of only three feet一not an inch more一and such a bump as this! Only think,then!”
This appeal,full of sad meaning as it was,did not seem to touch the doctor's heart.Not even the shadow of a doubt was ever suggested;and Samuel made an intolerable misuse of the first person plural:“‘Our’balloon,‘our’ car ;‘our’expedition.”
Dick trembled at them,although he was determined not to go ; he did not want to annoy his friend.Let us also disclose the fact that,without knowing exactly why himself,he had sent to Edinburgh for a certain selection of heavy clothing,and his best hunting-tools and fire-arms.
1.Why did Dr.Ferguson start to learn new languages?
A.To keep himself occupied.
B.To get ready for the departure.

D.To Know more about balloon construction.
2.We Call infer from the passage that Dick ____.

One day a professor entered the classroom and asked his students to prepare for a surprise test. They waited anxiously at their desks for the test to begin. The professor handed out the question paper, with the text facing down as usual. Once he handed them all out, he asked his students to turn the page and begin. To everyone's surprise, there were no questions but a black dot in the center of the page. The professor seeing the expression on everyone' face, told them the following, “I want you to write what you see there.”
The students were confused and got started on the inexplicable (令人不解的) task.
At the end of the class the professor took all the answer papers and started reading each one of them aloud in front of all the students. All of them with no exceptions, described the black dot, explained its position in the middle of the sheet, imagined what the black dot stood for and so on.
After all had been read, the classroom was silent. The professor began to explain, “I am not going to grade on you this time. I just wanted to give you something to think about. No one wrote about the white part of the paper. Everyone focused on the black dot and the same happens in our lives. We have a white paper to observe and enjoy, but we always focus on the dark spots. Our life is filled with love and care, and we always have reasons to celebrate—nature renewing itself every day, our friends around us, the job that provides our livelihood, the miracles we see every day…”
In fact, we insist on focusing only on the dark spots—the health issues that bother us, the lack of money, the complicated relationship with a family member, the disappointment with a friend, etc. Take your eyes away from the black spots in your life. The dark spots are very small compared to everything we have in our lives, so enjoy each moment that life gives you.
1.Why did the students feel confused about the test?
A. The professor didn’t ask them to prepare for the test.
B. There was totally nothing on the question paper.
C. It was too hard for them to answer the questions.
D. They hadn't seen such an unusual question paper before.
2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned on the students’ answer papers?
A. The meaning of the black dot.
B. The description of the black dot.
C. The white part of the paper.
D. The position of the black dot.
3.What is the professor’s purpose in giving this test?
A. To show the students how hard the life is.
B. To remind the students of the joys in life.
C. To let the students know their shortcomings.
D. To encourage the students to study harder.
4.What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A. Don't pay attention to the hardship in life.
B. Remove the black spots out of our life.
C. Don't focus on others’ faults but yours.
D. Remember you can’t see all the things in life.
