AOnce upon a time there was a wise man that used to go to the sea to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work．One day he was walking along the shore．As he looked down at the beach，he saw a human figure moving like a dancer．He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach．So he began to walk faster to catch up．As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasn’t dancing，but instead he was reaching down to the shore，picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean．As he got closer, he called out，“Good mornin g! What are you doing?” The young man paused，looked up and replied，“Throwing starfishes(海星)in the ocean．”“I guess I should have asked，why are you throwing starfishes in the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out，And if I don’t throw them in，they’ll die．”“But, young man，don’t you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes allalong it．You can’t possibly make a difference!”The young man listened politely．Then he bent down，picked another starfish and threw it into the sea，and said，“It made a difference to that one．”There is something very special in each and every one of us．We have all been gifted withthe ability to make a difference．And if we can know that gift，we will gain through the strength of our vision the power to shape the future．We must each find our starfish．And if we throw our starfish wisely and well，the world will be better．56．One day, the wise man saw a young man ．A．dancing along the beach with starfishesB．walking with a dancerC．picking up starfishes for saleD．trying to save as many starfishes as possible57．The underlined words“something very special”refers to． A．the gifts fromfriends B．t he strength of making decisionsC．our ownstarfishD．the ability to make a difference58．From the last two paragraphs，we can learn thatA．the wise man realized something new and importantB．the wise man thought it was foolish of the young man to throw starfishes in the ocean．C．the young man had the ability to save only one starfishD．it is necessary for us to save starfish on the beach59．The writer told this story to show us ．A．how and where we can write a good articleB．everyone can do something for the futureC．wise men ore sometimes stupidD．young men are in fact wiser than old peopleBChess ClubThe Chess Club is open to anyone interested in chess, including the novice, the expert, or anyone in between!
