During the visit, we were taken into a small room where ordinary-looking rocks were laid out on shelves. Had I seen them on some hillside, I would not have given them a second thought. Then the man closed the door so that the room was in total darkness and turned on an ultraviolet lamp (紫外线灯). Instantly, the rocks showed a kind of glory. Brilliant colors of an indescribable beauty were there before our eyes: certain power had been switched on, and a hidden world came to life. As I look at my universe and walk among my fellow humans, I have the deep belief that hidden realities are all around us: there in the physical world, and there also in the human world. I believe, then, that my chief job in life is to switch on extra power so that I can see what my naked eyes(裸眼), or my naked mind, cannot see now. I believe that I have to do this particularly with my human fellows. My ordinary eyes tend to stop short at those envelopes we call human bodies. But we have learned that by turning on certain power we can see through to the inside of these envelopes. We call this extra power “imagination”. At its highest, we call it “empathy”, the power to see through and to feel through to the inner life of other human beings. When we turn on this lamp of imaginative sensitivity, we make the ordinary human beings around us come excitingly alive. When we are aware that there are glories of life still hidden from us, we walk humbly (谦逊地) before the Great Unknown. But we do more than this: we try to increase our power of seeing and feeling so that we can turn what is still unknown into what is warmly and understandably known. This, I believe, is our great human adventure. 【文章大意】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者和妻子参观收藏馆看到了黑暗中岩石发出的光辉, 感悟到隐秘的现实就在我们周围: 在物质世界里, 也在人类世界里。 1. Why does the writer mention their visit to the collector’s shop? A. To share his experience. B. To explain his point. C. To introduce the topic. D. To provide evidence. 【解析】选C。推理判断题。根据第二段“当我看着我的宇宙, 走在我的人类同胞中间时, 我深深地相信, 隐秘的现实就在我们周围: 在物质世界里, 也在人类世界里。”可知, 作者提到他们拜访收藏馆是为了引出文章话题。 2. Which of the following does the writer not agree with? A. He saw the very rocks on some hillside before. B. Hidden realities remain in the physical world. C. Ordinary minds can never reach others’ inside. D. We should stay humble when we are still unknown. 【解析】选C。细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知, 作者认为我们可以通过“同感”来感知别人的内在。 本文来源：https://www.wddqw.com/doc/37858ae4a4c30c22590102020740be1e640ecc2c.html
