A couple had to put their wedding on hold after a barn owl (仓枭) called Darcy which had been chosen to deliver the rings fell asleep in the roof of the church. The bride had secretly arranged it. But what happened was out of her expectation. Rev Bryan, who was in charge of the ceremony between Sonia Cadman, 46, and Andrew Mettle, 49, said: “It would have been ly excellent - if it worked. It was a lovely idea and it was supposed to be really stunning. When it dived over the heads of the guests, theyd all feel the air rushing from its wings and would get a big surprise. “The groom is an amateur falconer (训鹰人) and so it was secretly arranged for two falconers to suddenly appear at the moment when the best man was about to hand over the rings. One of them stood at the front of the church next to us with a gauntlet (金属护手) on, as another appeared at the back of the church with a box. The owl came out and paused for a little bit. Then it saw the gauntlet and took off but instead of landing on the arm of the man and delivering the rings, it went up over our heads, landed in the roof space and fell asleep then.” Rev Bryan added: “We all laughed about it, and then we tried to get it down, but it didnt come. It probably thought Im a barn owl and this is like a barn, so Ill take a rest. It is said that never work with animals because they dont always do as theyre told! So we had plan B - a back-up pair of rings. After a few minutes, we gave up trying to get it down and carried on. It was nice to be able to have a bit of a laugh. Its important that people realize that a church wedding doesnt just come as a package of things you have to do. Im all for including something of the personality and individuality of the couple getting married. It was such a magical wedding and full of emotion.” “Luckily the service was able to go ahead and the groom was able to hold the bird (after it woke up) and have some really nice pictures taken after the ceremony.”63.

At the end of two hours he returned to the presence of the wise man.“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?”Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.“So, go back and see the wonders of my world,” said the wise man. “You cant trust a man if you dont know his house.”Now more at ease, the young man took the spoon and wandered again through the palace, this time paying attention to all the works of art that hung from the ceilings and walls. He saw the gardens, the mountains all around the palace, and the delicacy of the flowers. Returning to the sage, he reported in detail what he had seen.“But where are the two drops of oil that I entrusted to you?” asked the Sage.Looking down at the spoon, the young man realized that he had spilled the oil.“Well, that is the only advice I have to give you,” said the sage. “The secret of happiness lies in looking at all the wonders of the world and never forgetting the two drops of oil in the spoon.”24.

A本文是一篇哲理性短文，年轻人询问圣人幸福的秘密，圣人先让他端着两滴油游览宫殿，年轻人只专注于油而忘记了风景。圣人让年轻人多关注风景，年轻人忘记了所端的油。圣人以此让年轻人理解幸福存在于发现生活中的美同时还不要忘记自己的责任。【24题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“With considerable patience, the sage listened attentively to the reason for the boys visit, but told him that at that moment he did not have time to explain to him the secret of happiness.”可知年轻人来找圣人是为了寻找幸福的秘密的，故C项正确。【25题详解】推理判断题。根据文章第五六段“So,” asked the sage, “did you see the Persian tapestries(挂毯)hanging in my dining room? Did you see the fantastic garden that the Master of Gardeners spent ten years in creating?” Embarrassed, the young man admitted that he had seen nothing.”可知当圣人问他是否看到宫殿周围美丽的景色时，他很尴尬。说明他并没有达到圣人对他的期待。故B项说法是错误的，符合本题要求。所以选择B项。【26题详解】推理判断题。圣人让年轻人端着两滴油四处参观的目地是让他理解幸福存在于发现生活中的美同时还不要忘记自己的责任。他想通过这种间接的方法让年轻人知道幸福的秘密，故C项正确。【27题详解】主旨大意题。本文是一篇哲理性短文，年轻人询问圣人幸福的秘密，圣人先让他端着两滴油游览宫殿，年轻人只专注于油而忘记了风景。圣人让年轻人多关注风景，年轻人忘记了所端的油。圣人以此让年轻人理解幸福存在于发现生活中的美同时还不要忘记自己的责任。故A项正确。22. Heading off to college this year? Here are some fashion tips from our experts you should keep in mind:Dress to impress: Stylist and business consultant Daniela Smith says, “Girls should keep in mind that your college professors will often be the bridge that connects you to your future career and your classmates will become your professional network. You dont need to dress like youre going to the office, but you should display an ability to properly present yourself with appropriate maturity and confidence, and look put together.”Avoid logo mania (品牌狂热症): Wearing the logos of brands aimed at younger customers physically identifies you as part of that age group, so consider the targeted age group of the stores you shop at. Its tempting to load up on logos, especially well-known logos that signify high-end brands. But consider this: college is a time of self-discovery, a chance to develop your own personal style. Instead of wearing logos head to toe, “walking advertisement”-style, why not express who you really are?Wear real pants(裤子)! The combination of leggings and baggy shirts is all too common on college campuses. Smith points out that leggings, yoga pants, and sweatpants are entirely unacceptable in public unless youre exercising. Although leggings worn as pants are a common trend among high school and college girls, they are not an appropriate choice for daywear. As a young woman, your style choice should begin to reflect your maturity level. So, get rid of leggings and wear real pants!Keep the cute factor to a minimum: Stay away from sweaters and T-shirts wit
