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 wasnt 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 morning! What are you doing?The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfishes (海星) into the ocean.”“I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfishes into the ocean?”“The sun is up and the tide is going out. And if I dont throw them in, theyll die”“But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfishes all along it. You cant 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 for that one.” There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our vision of the power (力量) to shape the future. We must each find our starfish. And if we throw our starfish wisely and well, the world will be better. 51. One day, the wise man saw a young man _. A. dancing along the beach B. walking with a dancer C. picking up starfish for sale D. trying to save as many starfishes as possible 52. The underlined words “something very special” refers to _.

In recent years, it has developed into a major sport around the world, from Australia to South Africa. Hawaiian experts risk(冒之险) their lives on huge, thirty foot swells(浪涛) against the wind of Oahu; Californians of all ages go out the year-round. In the winter, surf-riders put on life-suits to ride grave waves so cold that their flesh turns blue.Surfing is no sport for weak persons. Swimming a quarter of a mile or more and pushing a surfboard out to where the swells are just right for riding can be real work. Then, at exactly the right moment, you climb up the wave and go fast across the face of a powerful swell with the white water jumping at your feet. The huge wave bites at your shoulder, threatening(威胁) at any moment to smash you
