       Ten years ago, I lived in a building in New York. The building next door was only a few feet away
from mine. There was a woman who lived there whom I had never met. I could see her seated by her
window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
       After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was
unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself: "Why doesn't that woman wash her window?
It really looks terrible."
       One morning I decided to clean my apartment, including washing the window on the inside. Late in
the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.
What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was very clear. Her window was
clean!
       Then, it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批評(píng))her dirty window, but all the time I was
looking at hers through my own dirty window.
       That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through
the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
       Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(評(píng)判) someone, I asked myself first: "Am I looking at him
through my own dirty window?" Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the
world about me more clearly.
1. The writer couldn't see the woman clearly because ____.
A. the woman's window was dirty            
B. the writer's window was dirty
C. the woman lived next door to him          
D. the writer was *near-sighted
2. "It dawned on me" in Paragraph 5 probably means "____".
A. I began to understand it      
B. it cheered me up
C. it grew light                
D. it began to get dark
3. What does the word "shortcoming" in paragraph 6 mean in Chinese?
A. 未來    
B. 短暫    
C. 缺點(diǎn)  
D. 自負(fù)
4. From the passage, we can learn ____.
A. people shouldn't criticize others very often
B. people should keep their windows clean
C. people should judge themselves before they judge others
D. people should be kind and friendly to their neighbors.

Hearst Castle is in California, America. A person called William Randolph Hearst built it between 1922 and 1939, at a cost of more than $30 million. Last year, I had a trip to that castle.

I spent the whole day looking around. But there was much to see, and a day wasn’t enough. Hearst Castle has four houses. The main house, “Casa Grande”, is the biggest one. Visitors can live in the other three ones. Many of them are Hollywood film stars, and they often come to the parties there.

At Hearst Castle, there are also beautiful gardens and two swimming pools, one inside and a larger one outside. I loved the one outside, the “Neptune Pool”. It was a pity that we couldn’t go swimming there!

The guide told us that Mr. Hearst travelled around Europe with his mother at the age of ten and looked at paintings and castles. He never forgot that tour and wanted his house to look like a castle. When Mr Hearst died in 1951, his family gave Hearst Castle to the people of California. Now it’s a museum.
