I thought.‎ ‎ “I don’t have anything to say, sir.”‎ ‎ Lieutenant Colonel Boyd told me that my mother had got in touch with the American Red Cross, which in turn informed me about that.

I sat on the floor of her room that afternoon reading each one, tears（眼泪）running down my face.

My older brothers and sister would sometimes come in from school and   44   a biscuit with butter or something. My mother impatiently, would tell them no. But I would cry out and make a big noise until I got what I wanted. I remember well how my mother asked me   45   I couldn't be a nice boy like Wilfred.

I couldn’t help imagining what the people on the 37 and in the buildings were thinking and going through, not 38 what was going on.

I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing 39 .‎ One night I felt so powerless(无能为力) that I got down on my knees and 40 God for help. “Please God，I can’t do 41 more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”‎ I was at work when I got a phone call. A man 42 himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” 43 he could say another word, I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment(失望) and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was 44 on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.‎ Karl’s next report card showed a marked 45 in his grades. Finally，he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I went to a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had 46 himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me.

He started school in the first grade, where the punishment for a wrong answer was ten ruler beats on a hand. For some reason, right shapes and letters just did not fall into his six-year-old mind.

Doctor Green felt that a pill might have kept him 44 long enough to call for help.‎ In Dad’s garden I stopped to pass my fingers in the earth where he had reached the end of his life. My hand came to rest on a half-buried stone. I lifted it and noticed 45 it the hit, yet unbroken bottle that had been beaten into the soft earth.‎ When I saw the bottle, the scene of Dad 46 to remove the cap and in desperation(绝望) breaking it with the stone flashed before my eyes. With great sorrow and deep pain I knew why those big hands had lost in their fight with 47 .

I could not look after myself, 35 my father took care of me. I used to lie on my back all the time in the kitchen. I was 36 , imprisoned（监禁） in a world of my own, unable to communicate with others.‎ Then, suddenly, it happened on the afternoon of a cold December day. All the family were gathered round the big kitchen fire. Mona and Paddy were drawing funny animals, using a bright piece of yellow chalk. It was the chalk that 37 me so much. I had never seen anything like it before.‎ Suddenly, I wanted to do what my sister was doing. Then without thinking or knowing exactly what I was doing, I 38 out and took the chalk out of my sister’s hand, with my left foot. It is a puzzle（迷惑）to many people as well as to 39 . I held the chalk tightly between my toes and made a wild scribble（乱涂）with it on the board. Next moment I stopped, not knowing what to do with the chalk next, hardly knowing how it 40 there. Then I looked up and realized that everyone was looking at me 41 . My mother came in. Her eyes looked from my face down to my 42 , then she took another piece of chalk from Mona, and drew the single letter “A” on the floor in front of me. “Copy that, Christy.” She said. I tried to do the same action, but I 43 . “Try again, Chris.” she whispered in my ear. I tried another two more times. I drew one side of the letter, then the other. It looked ugly, but I 44 to make it finally. I had done it! True! I couldn’t speak with my mouth, but now I would speak through something more 45 than spoken words.

As I grew older, I remember my father and I listening to basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep 35 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet with the 36 score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.‎ ‎ On cold mornings my father would bring his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered（分送）the bread to the stores. The 37 and the warmth from the bread made my mouth water and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.‎ ‎ My father would be present at all my games. One night before an important game my father told me 38 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 39 . The next day as the game drew near I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 40 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He managed to 41 the game. I’ll always remember that.‎ ‎ Years later I had become a 42 . I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart 43 in my ears. I 44 the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing really 45 to me. I still taught in school but I couldn’t centre attention on my teaching. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the same way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my 46 in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, compassion and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did.

Carla has a good imagination, and I know a lot of history, so we thought we’d be good __35__ for the team.‎ A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the__36__ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup（替补）. Unluckily four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a __37__ and the top eight scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a __38__ way to decide.‎ Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to decide the starting line-up（阵容）.Mr. Gaudi acted as the host. After a couple of hours, all the __39__ on the team were set except one. Carla and I __40__ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition between the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the backup.‎ Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead.__41__ I saw the look on Carla's face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted __42__ even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla __43__,just by a little bit. Her expression as she __44__ she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I'll still have the fun of seeing the show up close.‎ Was I __45__ by not trying as hard as I could? I don't think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn't __46__ it. It won't hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.‎ ‎35. A.choices B.pairs C.leaders D.fans ‎36.

However, I was disappointed as we drove into the city.‎ Everything seemed so unfamiliar.‎ Seeing our new neighborhood helped—tall trees and quiet sidewalks welcomed us.

From the time I was eight I was helping Dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for every nail(钉子) I 36 out of old boards.‎ I got my first real job, at JM’s Restaurant in town when I was 12. My main responsibilities were clearing up tables and washing dishes, but 37 I helped cook.‎ Every day after school I would 38 to JM’s and work until ten. Even on Saturdays, I worked from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to 39 and watching my friends run off to swim or play.

This made me feel 41 .‎ Word that I was hardworking and trustworthy(讲诚信) 42 around the town. A local clothing store offered me a credit card 43 I was only in seventh grade. I immediately bought a $68 sport coat and a $22 pair of shoes. I was 44 only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed(欠) the store—keeper $90! So I learned gradually the danger of easy credit. I paid 45 as soon as I could.‎ My first job taught me self-control responsibility and brought me a level of personal satisfaction that 46 of my friends experienced.

My mom was one of those people.‎ My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very 36 life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would 37 my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”‎ At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never 38 again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I didn’t want to be bad enough. She 39 that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school-walking on my own!‎ When the Great Depression（大萧条） 40 , my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support（支撑） both of us. At that moment, I decided never to be 41 again.‎ Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real 42 point happened on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1916. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels for families and was angry that they charged（收费）an extra $2 for each child. That was too 43 for most American families. I told my wife that I was going to open a hotel for families that would never charge extra for 44 . There were plenty of doubters at that time.‎ Not 45 , mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of hard time. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my heart, I 46 doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world - Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $1 billion a year.‎ You may not have started out life in the best situations.

I learned this 36‎ one day five years ago with my father, when I was just acting like myself –– a nine-year-old kid.‎ Papa came home late from work after 9 p.m., and he 37 even more tired than usual. His eyes were already half-closed. I followed him to his bedroom. Papa 38 up the stairs, slowly lifting his feet one after the other. I was 39 that I would have to start pushing him. Fortunately, he 40 it to the bedroom on his own.‎ Papa sat down on the bed and started removing his shoes and socks.‎ ‎“How was work?” I asked cheerfully.‎ ‎“Oh, it was OK,” he replied. “It’s just that I’m tired.”‎ ‎“Oh, um…you want me to leave?”‎ Papa gave me a tired 41 that made me more comfortable.

We were 35 warmly and equipped with the video we had been trying to watch. I was feeling a little tired 36 I was carrying our shopping bags of snacks and the video. ‎ They were so 37 that I decided to throw away some of them. So I started to walk towards the dustbin when I noticed a poor man stepping out of the restaurant in front of us. He held a paper bag with his dirty hand. He 38 over to another nearby dustbin and started looking 39 it. ‎ I suddenly felt very upset. I know this man would take all he could get, so I walked up to him and 40 the drink and some snacks to him. The man, with lines on his face and wrinkles(皱纹) on his forehead, looked up in 41 and took what I gave him.‎ A huge smile spread across his face and this made 42 feel indescribable satisfaction(满意). I felt like I couldn’t be happier with myself, but then he said, “Wow, first someone gives me this sandwich, then this drink, and now some tasty food, this is my daughter’s 43 day!”‎ He thanked me happily and started off on his bike. I even heard him whistling(吹哨) a song as he 44 away.‎ I now understand what is meant by the saying “giving is getting”.

We were busy    36    some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday dress and toys. Then to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike more than    37  .‎ Now we didn't know    38   to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner and packing children's   presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till midnight. So there was no time to take to buy the "right bike" for our little girl. Thinking we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt sorry and    39  .‎ Suddenly my husband had an idea. "What about making a little bike with clay (泥土) and writing a note that she could trade in (交换) the model bike for a real one?" So he spent the next five hours carefully    40 with clay to make a small bike.‎ ‎  41   Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note.

They walked to school together almost every day, and after school they always had time to play. ‎ But Ryan did have one problem. It was his 35 , Allie. Somehow, Allie just didn’t understand that Ryan and his friends didn’t want her around. Wherever they went, her little 36 worked overtime to keep up with the boys. Whenever she came up, she always looked around and said, “Here I am” . But nobody would like to play with her. ‎ ‎ Ryan tried asking his mom to 37 Allie at home. “Why does my sister have to come along?” he asked. “Troy’s sister doesn’t. Jimmy’s sister doesn’t. Why me?”‎ Ryan’s mother just laughed. “Troy’s sister is only six months old, and Jimmy doesn’t have a sister. Guess that makes you the 38 one, Ryan.”‎ ‎ Today, Ryan wanted to play whiffle ball with his friends after school. They used to play with a hard ball, but one of them broke a window at Mr. McWhirter’s house. Boy, had Ryan and his friends gotten into trouble for that one! Mr. McWhirter wouldn’t even give them their ball 39 .‎ Today, as usual, Allie caught up with the boys and said, “Here I am.” Just as ‎ 40 , everyone ignored(不理睬) her.‎ ‎ Finally, the game got started. It was Jimmy’s turn to 41 . He beat the ball hard—right into Mr. McWhirter’s yard. The ball lay in the grass, just out of 42 . The boys looked at each other and nobody knew what to do. ‎ Just at that time, Troy shouted: “Ryan, look at Allie. I mean, look at how 43 she is.”‎ ‎“Yeah,” said Jimmy. “She’s so small, she can 44 through the fence!”‎ Allie looked at Ryan and his friends.

The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag with a few tomatoes. Each 　35　 will be given a name of a person that the child hates, so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in his/her plastic bag will 　36 　the number of people he/she hates.‎ So when the day 　37　, every child brought some tomatoes with the name of the people he/she hates. Some had two tomatoes; some three 　38　some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to carry with them the tomatoes in the plastic bag wherever they go for the week, even the toilet. Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain(抱怨) because the rotten tomatoes let out 　39　smell. Besides, those having 5 tomatoes also had to carry heavier bags.‎ After a week, the children were relieved (解除痛苦) because the game had 40 ended. The teacher asked: “how did you feel when carrying the tomatoes with you for a week?” The children　 41　 their frustrations（失败、挫折） and started complaining of the trouble that they had to go through when they had to carry the 　42　 and smelly tomatoes wherever they go. Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the game. The teacher said: “ This is exactly the 　43　 when you carry your hatred (hate 的名词)for somebody inside your heart. The smell of hatred will 　44　 your heart and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot stand the smell of rotten tomatoes for just a week, can you 　45　 what it is like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”‎ So throw away any hatred for　 46　 from your heart so that you will not carry sins for a lifetime.

But my dad placed the bat in the youngster’s hand. Then he 37 out to me, “Anne, pitch(投) one in to us.”‎ I aimed at the bat and let the ball fly.

Twenty years passed, 41 my dad gone, I had very mixed emotions about leaving the neighborhood. Before moving I decided to walk around the park where Dad and I had 42 so many happy moments. Two teams were on the field just about to start a game. I was in tears as I watched the children play the game.‎ ‎“Jeff, protect 43 base,” one coach shouted. I cheered the runner on when the ball was hit far into the outfield. The coach turned and smiled, “I never 44 I’d ever be a coach playing on this field.

I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders excitedly expected the great day of gift-giving in a couple of days.  Each day the children produced some new   36   — Christmas cards, handmade gifts, German bells and so on. Through it all she remained alone,  37    from far away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy, now suddenly so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles (small balls, made of glass or stone) and competed with one another to bring the   38   ones.  The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were   39  . All along, she sat quietly, watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she   40  .‎ After school I sat down in a chair, hardly knew what was happening, when she came to me with out-stretched hands, holding a small white box that looked a little old, as if it had been 41 many times by unknown, childish hands. She said nothing. “For me?” I asked. She said not a word, but   42   her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, shining green, a fried marble hung from a golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old  43   and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. 44 I knew — she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her or brush her hair or   45   her childish joys or sorrows.  I meant 46 when I said in a low voice, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we cried together.

She would keep on working, not 47 the whole sentences and sometimes the paragraphs were missing. John did not tell her, for he couldn’t take away her only hope.

I had to get down on my knees and　 41　 her to shut up so my grandma wouldn't　 42　 and get hurt.‎ After that happened, I　 43　 there were a million things about Grandma that were embarrassing（令人窘迫）.‎ ‎ Once she took Jill and me out to Burger King.　 44　 ordering our hamburgers well-done, she told the person behind the counter, "They'll have two Whoppers (巨无霸) well-to-do. " Jill burst out laughing, but I almost　 45　.‎ ‎ After a while, I started wishing I could　 46　 Grandma in a closet. I even complained to my parents. Both my parents said I had to be careful not to make Grandma feel　 47　 in our home.‎ Then last Wednesday, something happened that　changed everything completely. My teacher told us to help find interesting old people and　interview them about their lives for a big Oral History project. I was trying to think of someone when Angie pushed me gently.‎ ‎"Volunteer your grandmother," she whispered. "She's interesting and rich in experience."‎ ‎ That was the last thing I ever thought Angie would say about my grandma.‎ ‎ This is how I ended up on stage today interviewing my own grandmother before the whole school assembly (集合). All my friends and teachers were listening to her as if she was a great heroine. I was proud of my grandma and hoped she would never know that I had been ashamed of her.‎ ‎36.

I believed that this lady was the 44 Mrs. Claus, not a radio station actress acting as her. Hey, I was just a little kid!‎ I threw down the phone and ran crying from the room. I thought my crime had not gone unpunished. Santa would 45 know that I”d been bad!‎ It turned out that I did get a nice present from the radio station and its sponsor（赞助者）. And I guess Santa didn”t find out about the wall. Maybe he 46 and was forgiving. In any case, my Christmas presents did not 47 a mass of coal.‎ I wonder what Santa has in mind for this year.

But I was 1 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was crying, with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t type fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 2 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to 3 something,” mother said quietly. I could 4 her pain and the tension of 5 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my arrival. Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 6 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her tightly and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was enough. At that moment, feeling mother’s 7 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to break. She was still my mother, 8 she was something 9 : a person like me, capable of fear and hurt and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 10 in her arms. A week later mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station 11 . “It’s a job I can do, though.” She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very different feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 12 away across the paper.

The three fish saw them.‎ The intelligent fish decided at once to leave, to make the long, 2 trip to the ocean. He thought, “I won’t 3 those two on this. They will only weaken my resolve (决心), because they love this place so much. They call it home. Their ignorance will 4 them here.”‎ Then he left.

Feeling very hot, she jumped into the water. 36 else was in the pool. It was so good to have the whole pool to herself. The fresh water 37 her body immediately. She kept on swimming around the pool.‎ ‎ Not having swum in the past several years and being a bit out of shape, June grew 38 easily. “Ah, no pain no gain,” she thought to herself. June continued to swim, realizing her head was hurting. Her breathing became 39 . Then she saw the lifeguard and some others around the pool. No sense in embarrassing（使尴尬）herself or troubling anyone, she 40 on.‎ ‎ Then June found herself in the middle of the pool. Deciding not to make a scene, she ‎ continued on. 41 she made it to the other side of the pool. Tiredness and weakness made it difficult for June to get out of the pool.

Several minutes later she had enough 43 to pull her body up out of the pool. Sitting at the side of the pool, she felt that someone was 44 at her. It was the lifeguard. June was only able to wave her hand, telling him that she was okay.‎ ‎ Have you ever found yourself in such a 45 and you don’t ask for help? Maybe you’re afraid you’ll be made a laughing stock（笑柄）.

She would present new tests. taking her 36 from stories of amazing children she had read in newspapers and magazines.‎ ‎ The first night she brought out a story about a three-year-old boy who knew the capitals of all the states in our country and 37 most of the European countries. A teacher also said the little boy could also pronounce the names of the foreign cities correctly.‎ ‎ “What’s the capital of Finland?” my mother asked me, looking at the magazine story.‎ ‎ All I knew was the capital of California. “Nairobi!” I guessed. saying the most 38 word ‎ I could think of. She checked to see if that was possibly one way to 39 “Helsinki” before showing me the answer.‎ ‎ The tests got 40 . One night I had to look at a page from the Bible (圣经) for three minutes and then report everything I could remember. I said all I remembered. And 41 I saw my mother’s disappointed (失望的) face once again. something inside of me began to 42 . I hated the tests, the raised hopes and failed expectations. Before going to bed that night. I looked in the mirror in the bathroom and when I saw only my face looking back—and that it would always be this 43 face—I began to cry. I made loud noises like a mad animal.‎ ‎ And then I saw what seemed to be the prodigy (奇才) side of me —because I have never seen that face before. I looked at myself in the mirror. blinking (眨眼) so I could see more 44 . The girl looking back at me was angry, strong. This girl and I were the same. I had new thoughts. I won’t let her 45 me. I won’t be what I’m not.‎ ‎ So the following nights when my mother presented 46 tests. I performed listlessly, my head on one arm. I pretended (假装) to be bored. And I was. I started to 47 other things. Soon, she noticed I was absent-minded. We had a talk and I told her what I thought and how I felt about the tests.

I informed both their moms that they could bring in 36 to celebrate their children’s birthdays.‎ I wondered whether 37 intended（打算）to bring in a birthday treat for the kids. On Thursday, I asked Juan and Cynthia about it, but they didn’t know anything about their parents’ plans. Both children, however, were very excited about having a birthday party the next day in class. As I was tired after work, I decided to 38 it ‎ until the next day. ‎ The next morning my first thought was: What should I do about the cakes? It would be terrible if there was nothing for the kids to eat at the party. It 39 me as I approached （接近）the Mexican bakery on my drive to school.‎ The shop had four large pieces of cake for a dollar each. The only thing was that I was 40 on cash. I needed the five dollars in my purse to 41 until payday. However, I decided the 42 was the most important.‎ The school day went well. After story time, I told the students, “Today we are celebrating the double birthdays of Juan and Cynthia.”‎ I brought out the cake and lit the candles, and then we sang Happy Birthday, Cynthia and Juan smiled happily. After the candles were blown out, I cut each of the four pieces of cake into five little pieces. It was just 43 , all 20 of my students had come to class that day.‎ At the end, Juan said to me, “Miss Jones, I never had a birthday party before!” As I watched him walk away, still 44 , tears came to my eyes. When Cynthia came up moments later, I asked her if she’d ever had a birthday party before.‎ ‎“No”, she said, “but I loved my birthday today! Thank you, Miss Jones.”‎ I later learned, after talking with their parents, that our simple celebration had, 45 , been both Cynthia’s and Juan’s first birthday party.

We’re going to practice for the race next week.”‎ ‎“No, thanks,” Mark replied. “Sam’s coming over to play basketball.”‎ Sally rode off on her bike while Mark waited for his friend. Mark was fast, 35 he usually did well in most sports. He didn’t think it would 36 if he practiced the course. It could be hilly or sandy, and Mark knew he would 37 speed along.‎ The race day finally arrived. “My stomach feels like I ate some butterflies,” Sally ‎ told Mark when she saw so many kids around. Then they 38 the other riders at the start line.‎ ‎“Sally is always nervous,” Mark thought. “Don’t worry. 39 will do fine,” he said. As soon as the starter shouted “Go!”, Mark’s legs pumped up and down like two machines. He moved 40 to the front.‎ A few minutes later, there wasn’t anyone ahead of him! Mark raced along the course. He rode past some pine trees. Then the path looped(环绕)around a pond. Mark was surprised that the course was so 41 .‎ His tired legs felt like they weighed a hundred pounds. All at once, a flash of color caught his eyes. There was a line of bike riders on the course ahead of him! “How could this be?” Mark said to himself. “I must have taken a wrong 42 and made one more loop in the course,” he thought.‎ Mark pushed his achy muscles(肌肉)harder. He realized his 43 alone wouldn’t be enough this time; 44 the course was just as important. He managed to ride past a couple of bike riders, but he couldn’t 45 the riders who were in the lead.‎ After the race Mark saw his sister. “Wow, you must have done a good job in the race. What place did you get?” Mark asked.‎ ‎“Third place!” Sally answered excitedly.‎ ‎“That’s great! I came in ninth place.

The secret of staying young, being happy and getting success is that we should laugh and find something 43 every day. I think there is a great 44 between growing old and growing up. I am seventy now. If I 45 in bed for one full year and never do anything, I’ll become seventy-one. 46 anybody can grow older, my idea is to grow, up by always finding the chance in change. Growing older can’t be avoided, growing up can be 47 . It’s never too late to be all you can possibly be. ”During the four years’ study, it was so easy for Susan to make friends wherever she went.

We could see dandelions(蒲公英)popping（炸开） through the grass in bunches, I watched my 39 carelessly bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I am going to dig up all these weeds(杂草),” she said. “From ‎ now on, we’ll have 40 roses in this garden.”     “But I like dandelions,”I said.“All flowers are 41 —even dandelions!”      My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?”she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is 42 of people, too,”she added.     When I 43 that she had guessed my pain, I started to cry and told her the truth. 　“ 44 you will be a beautiful narrator,” she said, reminding me of how much I loved to read stories aloud to her.     Over the next few weeks, with her continuous 45 , I learned to take pride in the role. The big day finally came. A few minutes before the play, my teacher came over to me. “Your mother asked me to give 46 to you,” she said, handing me a dandelion. After the play, I took the flower home, laughing that I was perhaps the only person who would keep such a weed. ‎ ‎35. A. practice B. write C. train D. read ‎36.

Dad was quite skilled in sailing, but not good at swimming . As for me, I 36 both before twelve because of living close to Lake Ontario.‎ The last time Dad and I set sail together is really unforgettable . It was a perfect weekend after I graduated from university. I came home and invited Dad to go sailing. Out we set soon on the calm lake. Dad hadn’t sailed for years, but everything 37 well with the tiller（舵柄）in his hands.‎ When we were in the middle of the lake, a strong wind came all of a sudden. The boat was hit ‎ ‎38 . Dad was always at his best in any 39 , but at this moment he 40 .‎ ‎“John! Help!” he shouted in a trembling voice, with the tiller still in his hands.‎ In my memory he could fix any 41 . He was the one I always 42 for strength and security. Before I could respond(反应）, a 43 of water got into the boat. I rushed to the tiller but it was too late. Another huge wall of water 44 the boat in a minute. We were thrown into the water, and Dad was struggling aimlessly. At that moment, I felt strongly 45 of him.‎ I swam to Dad quickly and helped him climb onto the hull（船壳）of the boat. Upon sitting on the hull, Dad was a little awkward about his flash of 46 . “It’s all right, Dad. We are safe now,” I comforted him.‎ That was the first time Dad had counted on me in a moment of emergency(紧急情况). More importantly, I found it was my turn to start 47 for my father.‎ ‎36.A.enjoyed B. desired C. hated D. learned ‎37.A.finished B. went C. seemed D. sounded ‎38.A.repeatedly B. lightly C. hardly D. violently ‎39.

My mother read and cried. “Buddy, you didn’t really write this beautiful poem!”‎ ‎　　Shyly, but proudly, I said yes. She poured out her 35 . “It was nothing short of talent!”‎ ‎　　“What time will Father be home?” I asked. I could hardly wait to show my work to him. ‎ I spent quite some time 36 for his arrival. I wrote the poem out in my finest flourish (花体字), drew a fancy border around it, and confidently I placed it right on my father’s plate on the dining table. My father had begun his motion-picture career as a writer. I was sure he would be able ‎ 37 my poem.‎ At almost 7 o’clock my father burst in. He seemed 38 . He circled the dining-room table, complaining about his employees.‎ Suddenly he paused and glared at his plate. “What is this?” He was reaching for my poem.‎ ‎“Ben, Buddy has written his first poem!” my mother began. “And it’s beautiful, absolutely amaz …”‎ ‎“If you don’t mind, I’d like to decide for myself.” Father said.‎ ‎　　I 39 my head as he read that poem. It was only ten lines. But it seemed to take hours. Then I heard him dropping the poem back on the table. Now came the moment of 40 . ‎ ‎　　“I think it’s terrible,” he said.‎ ‎　　I couldn’t look up. My eyes were getting wet.‎ ‎“Ben, these are the first lines of poetry he’s ever written,” my mother was saying. “He needs encouragement.”‎ ‎“I don’t know why.” My father held his ground. “Isn’t there enough 41 poetry in the world already?”‎ I couldn’t 42 it another second. I ran from the dining room crying. Up in my room I ‎ 43 myself on the bed and cried the worst of the 44 out of me.‎ That may have been the end of the story, but not of its meaning for me. I realized how fortunate I had been. I had a mother who said, “I think it’s wonderful!” and a father who drove me to hear with “I think it’s awful.”‎ Every one of us needs that mother force, from which all 45 flows; and yet the mother force alone is incomplete. It needs the balance of the force that cautions, “Watch. Listen. Review.

Together, we ‎ moved slowly into the chaos（混乱）. ‎ Then we moved on __42__ the sidewalk, where she pulled my face down to hers, kissed me on both cheeks, and then walked away, still smiling and waving back to me.

He was past thirty years old, but the heart of the true 36 still beat with the great spirit. However, I knew little about the 37 that the old horse’s spirit would have on my daughter.‎ My daughter Stacy had ever had a bad experience with a runaway horse. She was just eight at the time, and a terrifying 38 accompanied the disaster. Although she broke no bones, her confidence , love for horses and the desire to learn to ride were 39 . No matter how my wife and I tried, we had no success in curing(治疗) the damage caused that day. But when she was thirteen, a turning point came. One day as I saw Stacy look into the eye of the old fellow in the stall(牲口棚), I knew this was going to be the beginning of a 40 relationship.‎ ‎ Fortunately, Stacy’s accident had not weakened her love for 41 in general, and this small opening was all that Twist needed to create an unusual bond(关系纽带) . In the following weeks, Stacy began to express daily 42 in coming to the stall with me. She actively spent time with him, feeding, brushing and combing him, all the 43 talking to him about her life.‎ Then one day 44 I was readying one horse for a ride, I noticed the old guy’s eager(渴望的）expression and desire to be 45 , too. So I asked Stacy if she wanted to take Twist out for a ride. Stacy looked once again into the old man’s eye. That moment, their two spirits 46 and completed the bond that had been forming over a couple of months. Continuing to look deep into his eyes, Stacy didn’t speak . She only nodded yes. Moments later, I saw them riding 47 together, Stacy winning renewed(重建的) confidence and desire, and Twist winning his medal of a child’s heart. ‎ ‎36. A. jumper B. member C. owner D. winner ‎37.
