It came at graduation, several minutes before I left Miramonte‎ ‎High School.‎ I was rather shy back then, content to 23 around with my few friends and to concentrate on my 24 . I was doing so well that by the end of senior year I had perfect scores and enough 25 to go to college.‎ But my good record soon became a 26 to my well-being. In early June of senior year, the headmaster called me into his office. He asked me to give a leave-taking speech at graduation．I looked at him, my heart 27 fast．This was the 28 for my hard work? I said something, but not very clearly, and hurried away from the office．‎ I was 29 about the decision, finally agreeing to compromise．I wasn’t the only speaker—I would 30 the honor with five other students．Still, it was doubtful whether the task was 31 me．How in the world would I give a speech to hundreds of people?‎ Graduation day soon arrived and, as 32 , I was nervous. I’d been practicing my speech for days, and I had it 33 ．But I had never been so ‎34 in my life．The first half hour of the ceremony passed, and then my 35 came. My name was announced．I managed to reach the platform without falling down．But within minutes, I was 36 , heading back to my seat．‎ Now I still have the 37 of that speech．My voice trembled a little, but 38 it was clear and strong．I‘m proud of that tape．I achieved something I’d never 39 —I spoke in front of hundreds of people.‎ ‎ 40 I didn’t realize it at the time, the successful completion of that speech gave me the 41 to participate in class at college, to give oral reports, and to eventually break free of my 42 .‎ I never would have chosen to give a speech at graduation．But I’m glad I did．I know it may well turn out to be one of my shining moments．‎ ‎23.

She and I got to the checkout counter, and she realized she had forgotten a couple of things on her shopping list. She left me with the cart and ran off to get what she needed.‎ ‎“I’ll be right back.” she said.‎ She was gone just a few minutes, but in that time, I had loaded all the things on the belt and everything was rung up. I was left staring at the cashier, who was staring at me. “Do you have money for me, son?” she said. “I’ll need to be paid.” ‎ I didn’t realize she was just trying to amuse herself. So I stood there, ashamed and embarrassed.‎ By the time my mom returned, I was angry. “You left me here with no money! This lady asked me for the money, and I had nothing to give her !”‎ Now that I’m an adult, you’ll never catch me with less than $‎200 in my wallet. I want to be prepared in case I need it. ‎ I’ve always admired people who are over-prepared. In college, I had a classmate named Norman. One day he was giving a presentation on an overhead projector and in the middle of his talk, the light bulb (灯泡) on the projector blew out. We would have to wait ten minutes until someone found a new projector. ‎ ‎“It’s Okay”, he announced. “There’s nothing to worry about.”‎ We watched him walk over to his bag and pull something out. He had brought along a spare bulb for the overhead projector. Who could even think of that?‎ I often told my students, “ When you go into the wilderness, the only thing you can depend on is what you take with you.” And essentially, the wilderness is anywhere but your home or office. So take money. Pack a light bulb. Be prepared. ‎ ‎43. Why did the cashier ask a seven-year-old boy to pay for the purchases?‎ A. The boy was shopping by himself.‎ B. The boy’s mother asked her to do so.‎ C. The cashier was playing a joke on him.‎ D. The boy’s mother was away for something else.‎ ‎44. Why was the boy angry with his mother?‎ A. His mother left him alone.‎ B. He lost face in front of the cashier.‎ C. His mother forgot to buy something.‎ D. He had just quarreled with the cashier.‎ ‎45. Why did Norman bring a spare bulb with him?‎ A. He was always well-prepared.‎ B. His presentation was about bulbs.‎ C. He knew the classroom equipment was of poor quality.‎ D. He predicted the bulb on the projector would blow out.‎ ‎46. What do the two stories tell us?‎ A. Accidents happen almost every day.‎ B. Money is the key that opens all doors.‎ C. In fair weather, prepare for a rainy day.‎ D. Chances favor those who are well-prepared.‎ B ‎ When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career. __47__ I guess I had taken his work for granted.‎ ‎ __48__ For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. _49__ He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money，which wasn't much. I also found a parttime job.‎ ‎ __50_ He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn’t affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.‎ ‎ __51_ The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem-solving, I can always find PlanB. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad's understanding of business and his work ethic(信条) are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.‎ A. Providing for our family has been his joy.‎ B. I made every effort to solve his problems.‎ C. I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.‎ D. My father's unemployment created many changes in our lives.‎ E. After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.‎ F. His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.‎ G. I always knew he was a hard worker，but watching him in action influenced me a lot.‎ 答案 单选 ‎1--5 accbb 6---10 cbaad 11--15 ababa 16--20 dbaad 21-22ab 完型 ‎23-27. ADBCD 28-32. BDADC ‎33--37.
