The rolling hills are green and beckoning, the leaves on the trees full and deep. The land is fertile, washed and nourished by the spring rains; and in the rich soil

3、 of gardens, peas and carrots are appearing. The mornings are warm and clear, the sun rising early so that by midday you can get a taste of the summer heat that will follow in July and August. On a day like this, on a Wednesday morning in early June, it is possible to feel free; for school is over f

4、or the year and the summer lies ahead. And so, on this Wednesday morning, you get up early in the morning and go out for a drive in your car, because you like that, its fun. You drive along a little country road, the top of your car down, and you feel the chili of the early morning air , as the wind

5、 blows all around you. You feel the chill in your neck and behind your ears, but the sun is getting higher in the sky; it will be warmer soon. You feel your hair being blown in a thousand directions, and thats fine. Its good to feel the long brown hair blowing around your ears, its good sometimes to

6、 look down onto the road next to your car and see the shadow of the car, with you inside, and your hair blowing in the wind. You drive through patches of sunlight and shade; the air is dry, so you feel the difference. And you feel free, being free. It is hard to be free. It is probably one of the ha

7、rdest things in the world, because the world doesnt leave much room for freedom. There isnt much space given you, there arent many people around you who are free. Everyone has miles to go and things to do, and the world catches you up, it carries you along, it doesnt give you much room. But its also

8、 so easy to be free. Being free is probably one of the easiest things in the world, too, only almost nobody realizes it. Because we are free: we were born free, we live free, and we will die free.

9、 stop and look at whats happening. Until some day, some Wednesday morning in early June, when you get up in the morning when its still chilly and you go for a drive in your car, along a country road, through little towns, past little homes and farmhouses, and suddenly you realize it, you know it: yo

And you find yourself getting high, as. high as the sky, because it is wonderful to be there, in that time and in that place, and you wou

11、ld exchange it for none other. You feel elated just by driving, and you begin to think that maybe theyre all wrong, maybe all the ones who have taught you are wrong. Because theyve taught you that what goes up always comes down. Thats physics, after all, thats science and knowledge, and when an appl

12、e falls from a tree, its going to hit someone whos sitting beneath. Thats the way things are. But you begin to wonder. Maybe things dont have to be that way. Maybe its possible to go up and never come down, to stay up, to be always up, to be always elated. Maybe there is a place there, a place that

13、the birds know, a place which men have reached for. Maybe it really does exist, and if you could find it you would never leave, you would never need to leave or want to leave, because the place is perfect and you feel wonderful there. So you drive along, out driving just for the fun of driving, and

14、then maybe you say to yourself, “The hell with that place, things are fine here. I like it here. “For you feel good, there, feel good driving along, and you think you could probably feel good any place doing anything. The hell with the birds, let them have their place, because youve got yours, and y

15、ou like it fine. The hell with wondering and worrying. Schools out, it was out five days ago, youve passed your exams, so you dont need to worry again for three months. Its the summer now, the beginning of the summer. Its a beautiful day, and you dont need anything more. Except maybe a little music,

16、 so you turn on the radio. Its warmer now, its just right, and the air that flows over these hills, past these homes and farmhouses, and down these country roads, the air is fresh and clean. （分数：71.00）(1).The author feels free because the summer vacation has just begun. （分数：7.10）A.YB.NC.NG(2).“The w

35、，分数：355.00)Americans are proud of their variety and individuality, yet they love and respect few things more than a uniform, whether it is the uniform of an elevator operator or the uniform of a five-star general. Why are uniforms so popular in the United States? Among the arguments for uniforms, on

36、e of the first is that in the eyes of most people they look more professional than civilian (百姓的) clothes. People have become conditioned to expect superior quality from a man who wears a uniform.
