When first entered, Vanak Restaurant does not look like much of a restaurant, but once the pleasant smells of kabob （烤肉串）hit the senses, you are incapable of calling it anything less.
Owned by a local couple, this Persian restaurant has an inviting, homelike atmosphere that many restaurants lack.

trying to finish off their plates piled with food.

The food especially appeals to health-conscious eaters because each dish is very healthy, made with limited fat and oil and served straight off the grill（烤肉架）.
The main dish that the restaurant is popular for is its kabobs, which are different style of grilled meat.

A long time ago, there was an emperor who told his horseman that if he could ride on his horse and cover as much land area as he liked, then the emperor would give him the area of land he would have covered.
Sure enough, the horseman quickly jumped onto his horse and rode as fast as possible to cover as much land area as he could. He kept on riding and riding, whipping the horse to go as fast as possible. When he was hungry or tired, he did not stop because he wanted to cover as much as possible.
Finally, the horseman came to a point where he had covered a big area but was exhausted and dying. He asked himself, “Why did I push myself so hard to cover so much land area? Now I am dying and I need only a very small area to bury myself.”
The story above is similar with the journey of our life. We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power. We don’t pay attention to our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauties and the hobbies we love. One day when we look back, we will realize that we don’t really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed.
Life is not only about making money, getting power. Life is definitely not only about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauties and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of work and play. You have to decide how you want to balance your life. Define your priorities, and realize what you are able to compromise. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim of human existence.
So, take it easy! Do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile; life is short. Do not take life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life!
36. What did the horseman get at the end of the story? C
A. He got what he wanted.
B. He got much land area.
C. He got nothing.
D. He got a very small area.

A. We should work hard to make much money and get much power.
B. We only should pay attention to the work.
C. We should not only work hard but also enjoy the life.
D. We should enjoy life.
38. What did the emperor promise to the horseman? C
A. He could ride his horse.
B. He could get much land.
C. He could get as much land as he had covered on the horse.
D. He could ride as fast as he wanted.
39. Why should we live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life? C
A. Because we couldn’t get enough money.
B. Because we couldn’t get enough power.
C. Because life is fragile and short.
D. Because work is necessary.
40. The best title of the reading should be____C___.

One time they started together toward the city. When they arrived at a forest, they stopped to have a rest. Within a minute Sam fell asleep. Jim told himself, “He sleeps peacefully as if he were in his own house. I am a fraid of someone robbing me. After all, one never knows what might happen”.
Suddenly he saw a bee coming out of Sam’s left ear. Its mysterious dance surprised him. It flew toward a tree standing on a rock, circled the tree 3 times, and then returned to the sleeping Sam and disappeared into his right ear.
Just at that moment Sam woke up, sat up laughing and said, “Jim, I just had an unusual dream. There is a tree standing on a high rock, exactly like the one you see there. A bee danced around the trunk and its wings buzzed as if to say, “You must dig in this place, you must dig in this place!” I started digging and I found a big pot full of gold coins. I have never in my life seen so much money...!”
“T ruly it is a strange dream,” replied Jim. “If I were you, I would have dug around the pine tree there.”
“Jim, how childish you are. Please, let us continue our journey...”

Sam often came to visit him and greeted his friend with the words, “Well, Jim, I have come to see what has happened to my dream.” And the 2 friends patted each other on the back laughing. But every time Sam returned home sadder, for he knew that he could never buy back his dream.
