(09安徽)After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 36 lesson in life by the great example you 37 . When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had 38 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 39 , you went over and put the 40 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 42 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 43 this.”
Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 45 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 46 is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 47 he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 48 , which came to just over 49 . That is an easy mistake 50 both gauges run fast Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s 53 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum

When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 39 . we can try to beat it off, or we can decide that the thing 40 the challenge isn’t worth the 41 and call it quits. Although there are certainly 42 when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 43 all that is needed is 44 and communicable.
When we are communed to something, it means that no matter how 45 or how uncomfortable something is ,we will always choose to 46 it trough instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 47 for discussion and talking about how you feel as opposed to just saying what the other person did wrong. 48 you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” 49“You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 50 they are : small hurdles you need to jump or 51 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is 52 to get over, and hurt only 53 to make us stronger.

Being alone in outer space can be frightening. That is one reason why astronauts on solo (单独的) space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 45 . They were also constant communication with people on the earth. 46 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine (潜水艇) voyages. It will also happen on 47 space flights in the future. Will there be special problem of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 48 is. When men are 49 together for a long period, they begin to feel uneasy. Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very 50 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 51 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called a stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 52 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 53 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 54 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress.

One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total 55 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery” method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 56 which have a direct effect on language teaching.
The first is the removal from the curriculum (课程) of the thorough teaching of English 57 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.
Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 58 that the most able groups are 59 and are bored while the least
able are lost and 60 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.
Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 61 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have forgotten it a few years later. 62 they never need it, they do not practice it.
Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 63 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 64 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.

One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a 41 on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from 42 to toe,explained that he had 43 out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children 44 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.
Once I had 45 a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 46 ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he 47 me back.
Before leaving,I had turned the heater 48 in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and 49 .While the little ones played and ran 50
,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the 51 .
It was about 5 a.m. before they 52 .The young fellow asked me how much he 53 me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had 54 $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.
About a month later,I received a 55 from Interstate,a large bus company that we had been trying to 56 to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It 57 out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most 58 person in the company.
In his letter,he thanked me again and 59 me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this 60 ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.

2007 (5) Ban the Band(乐队)
(07北京)Every year,our school has a dance for all the students.It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful __36____,instead of the usual school uniform.
Most of us think the dance is great _37___ ---even the teachers enjoy being there.___38__,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no ___39___ band this year ——only CDs.
“I don’t __40__ it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t __41__ a band,and they think it’s too noisy anyway/”added Daniel.
“Well,I don’t think it’s __42__ enough without a band!”declared Angela.”and I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her __43__.In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the __44__ some more thought.And he suggested that one __45__for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10.Angela had to ___46__ out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,”she __47__to our group before school the next day.”Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their __48__ about the band and the extra cost.”
___49___ the day we asked around as Angela suggested,and wrote down peoples’s feelings about the band and the cost.We were amazed how much __50__ there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr.Berry,when we gave him the __51__.”I realty thought that only a few people __52__ their band and that the cost would be too high.OK.Angela,your next __53__is to find a good band and line them up for the dance. ”
Angela was all smiles and __54__ the news to Amy and Daniel.”You’re __55__,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

It was a cold afternoon on May 6th,1954,when Bannister knew he had a 39 chance. Bannister had been 40 hard and was very fit, but the weather conditions were a real 41 to him. Describring the 42 later,Bannister said,“On the way to the track the wind blew strongly. As I 43 for the start I glanced at the flag. It moved 44 now. This was the moment when I made my decision.”
“The gun fired. My legs 45 to meet no resistance, as if I was 46 forward by some unknown force. The noise from the faithful 47 gave me greater strength. I felt the 48 of a lifetimes had come.”
“I was driven on by a 49 of fear and pride. My body had long since used up all its energy 50 it went on running just the same. This was the critical moment when my legs were strong enough to carry me over the last few yards as they 51 could have done in previous years. When I leapt at(冲向)the 52 tape, I fell, almost 53 .
“I knew I had done it, even before I 54 the time. The announcement came. ‘Result of the one mile…Time, three minutes…’the test was55 in the noise of excitement.”

(07湖南)When I was young, my parents ran a snack bar in our small town.
One evening in early April, my mother told me to fill in at the snack bar 36 a worker who had the flu. I told her I would mess it up, 37 I had never worked at the bar before. I 38 that instead of making money, I would end up owing it.
“You can do it,” said my mother, “ 39 , you won’t get much business until lunch.”
“But I’ll never remember the orders, and I’m no good 40 money. Please, Mom, don’t 41 me.
“Then I’ll help you,” she said.
I shrugged my shoulders. I thought my mother’s 42 was a bad one, but I 43 .
When I got to the bar the next day, I found my mother was 44 . Because the weather that day was rainy and cold, people wanted hot snacks and drinks. 45 , I was really slow at taking the orders and making change. The line of people grew, and everybody seemed 46 , I was so nervous that my hands shook, and I 47 a cup into pieces. What a mess! Then my mother came to 48 me, and she also showed me how to make 49 . If someone gave me $ 5 for something that cost $ 3.25, I handed over 50 quarters and a dollar and said, “75 cents makes four dollars, plus one dollar makes five.” Things went more 51 after that.
By the end of the day, I could remember orders, 52 the bill, and make change quickly with a smile. I was even a little 53 when the sun came out and dried up business. My mother said she was proud of me, and when she 54 that I work at the snack bar again next year, I did not even shrug. I was too busy 55 the restaurant I would open one day.

“When the Atlanta Airport was under 37 in 1979, we were a new company struggling to make it. National Car Rental wanted to have 2,500 square meters of dirt paved 38 the cars could be on site 39 the airport opened, and the official opening was only ten days away! 40 other local paving company wanted to do the job, 41 it couldn’t be done in such a short time.
“Because we were new and really needed the work, we were 42 to try harder. We gave National Car Rental our offer and 43 our best effort to get the job finished within ten days. We also 44 them that if we failed, they would be no worse off, 45 they had plenty to gain if we succeeded.
“We got the job and immediately went into 46 . Working at night needed lights, so I rented a machine to produce electricity for the site. Our 47 challenge was to keep the rock mixture 48 enough. All the available water wagons (洒水车) were rented out for the airport construction, and we certainly
couldn’t afford to buy a new one. 49 , I got a special 50 to rent fire engine hoses (消防水龙带) and connect them to nearby hydrants (消防栓); then I 51 held one of those hoses to 52 down the rock.
“Those ten days were filled with challenges that 53 one creative idea after another. Nine days later, the night before the airport opened, National Car Rental was the 54 company that had cars on the parking lot.
“The key to our success was having the 55 to take on any job and then being creative in our approach to getting it done.”

I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet 24 driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it 25 , so we went together to 26 it. We paid for the car and 27 the papers. They told us that there was 28 petrol to take us to a garage, where we could fill up. The 29 garage to the office was about 100 yards away and we got there 30 . But when I turned into the main road I suddenly saw a lot of cars racing 31 me. I got out of 32
as fast as I could by backing into the garage 33 and the man behind 34 me.
"It’s such a problem to 35 to drive on the right side, isn’t it?" my wife said. "Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for 36 ," I replied. "You had better go 37 on the way home," my wife said. "You' d be sorry if you had 38 on the first day, wouldn' t you?" While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English," Would you mind telling me 39 you are thinking of leaving? 40 are you going to sit in your car all day?"

19, Roberta had never acted in her life before the audition(选拔试演).She
20 being in front of other people. She was very 21 at school. She had never thought she was good enough at anything to 22 much attention. She stayed mostly to herself, making 23 friends. She had excellent grades, 24 she always thought that something was missing.
Two weeks before the audition, Robertsa’s mother had heard about it and 25 her to join in.
“I can’t think of anyone else better suited to 26 the part. Remember all the plays you used to act our for us?”
Her mother wouldn’t let the 27 drop. “You’re just a little scared (害怕).Everyone gets scared. You know you 28 do it. The trick is to look past the 29 to find the love of what you’re doing.’’
So Roberta had made an appointment (预约) with the head of the Drama Club. She had read the play and found herself excited by the 30 of speaking such rich words. In secret she practiced Portia’s part, 31 the lines by repeating them over and over. It wasn’t hard; she 32 every minute of it. Every time she spoke the words, she had a new 33 of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written Portia on many levels.
On the day of the audition, she 34 two of Portia’s famous speeches for the auditors. When she had finished, the head of the Drama Club announced the 35 was hers.

(07山东)It's fourteen years since I left the Philippines to live with my family in the USA. A month ago, while on summer vacation back in my motherland, I learned a lesson from mosquito (蚊子) bites.

She said, "There's an old saying—the 39 you stay away from the motherland, the sweeter your blood 40 to the mosquitoes. " Not 41 it, I replied, "Grandmaaaa, that's just an old wives' tale!"
Well, less than a week 42 my arrival in Manila, I was already carpeted with a 43 of mosquito bites. I took many measures to keep myself from being 44 , but they all proved useless.
Late one 45 in my cousin's home, I couldn't bear the 46 of the bites. Hoping to find some comfort, I 47 my cousin, who was sleeping peacefully in the bed next to mine. Unhappy for being 48 she said, "There is nothing you can do. Go back to sleep. " With a few turns, she slept again. Enviously (妒嫉地) 49 her sleep, I hoped a big mosquito would 50 on her face. However, the mosquitoes would just lightly dance around her forehead and fly away quickly, never biting her. Amazed (惊奇的), I ran to others' 51 , only to find they were all sleeping 52 as the same thing occurred again and again.
From those bites, I came to 53 my grandma's silly tale. From then on, I've always tried to keep a(n) 54 mind about those strange old wives' tales 55 they do have some truth to them.

(07重庆)In the clinic,I asked if Michael could be retested,so the specialist tested him again.To my 36 ,it was the same score.
Later that evening,I 37 told Frank what I had learned that day.After talking it over,we agreed that we knew our 38 much better than an IQ(智商)test.We 39 that Michael's score must have been a 40 and we should treat him 41 as usual.
We moved to Indiana in 1962,and Michael studied at Concordia High School in the same year.He got 42 grades in the school,especially 43 biology and chemistry,which was a great comfort.
Michael 44 Indiana University in 1965 as a pre-medical student.Soon afterwards,his teacher permitted him to take more courses than 45 .In 1968,he was accepted by the School of Medicine ,Yale University.
On graduation day in 1972,Frank and I 46 the ceremony(典礼)at Yale.After the ceremony,We told Michael about the 47 IQ score he got when he was six.Since that day,Michael sometimes would look at us and say 48 ,“My dear mom and dad never told me that I couldn't be a doctor,not until after I graduated from
medical school!”It is his special way of thanking us for the 49 we had in him.
Interestingly,Michael then 50 another IQ test.We went to the same clinic where he had 51 the test eighteen years before.This time Michael scored 126,an increase of 36 points.A result like that was supposed to be 52 .

What is the 52 of studying towns in the way? For me, it is 53 that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 54 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 55 just reading about it in a guide-book.

第一节:Tales of the supernatural are common in all parts of Britain. In
particular, there was (and perhaps still is) a belief in fairies(仙女). Not all of these 21 are the friendly, people-loving characters that appear in Disney films, and in some folktales they are 22 and cause much human suffering. This is true in the tales about the Changeling. These tell the story of a mother whose baby grows 23 and pale and has changed so much that it is almost 24 to the parents. It was then 25 that the fairies had come and stolen the baby away and 26 the human baby with a fairy Changeling. There were many ways to prevent this from happening: hanging a knife over the baby’s head while he slept or covering him with some of his father’s clothes were just two of the recommended 27 . However, hope was not lost even if the baby had been 28 . In those cases there was often a way to get the 29 baby back. You could 30

Chinese proverbs are rich and they are still widely used in Chinese people’s daily life. 31 these proverbs there are often interesting stories. For example, the proverb, “plucking up a crop 32 (help) it grow”, is based on the following story.
It is said that a short—tempered man in the Song Dynasty (960—1279) was very anxious to help 33 rice crop grow up quickly. He was thinking about 34 day and night. But the crop was growing much slower than he expected.
One day, he came up with an idea 35 he would pluck up all of his crop a few inches. He did so the next day.
He was very tired 36 doing this for a whole day, 37 he felt very happy since the crop did “grow” 38 (high).
His son heard about this and went to see the crop. Unfortunately the leaves of the crop began to wither.
This proverb is saying we have to let things go in their 39 (nature) course. Being too anxious to help an event develop often 40 (result) in the contrary to our intention.

(08浙江)In the depths of my memory, many things I did with my father still live. These things come to represent, in fact, what I call __21__and love.
I don’t remember my father ever getting into a swimming tool. But he did __22__the water. Any kind of __23__ride seemed to give him pleasure. __24__he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.
But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being __25__the water, moving through it, __26__it all around me. I was not a strong __27__, or one who learned to swim early, for I had my __28__. But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and __29__those summer days with my father, who __30__ come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do.

After swimming, I would go __32__ his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me __33__anything I found in his top desk drawer.

But my father always __36__and said easily, “Oh, no, it’s __37__.” Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get __38__ an ice cream…

(08湖北)On a warm Monday, Jenny Neilson bought a sandwich and parked her car under some trees. Rolling down the windows to 41 in fresh air, she settled back to enjoy her lunch. Suddenly she 42 a big bald (秃顶的)man running through the parking lot. Before she came to 43 what would happen, the man was there, shouting through her window. “Get out!”
Neilson 44 .
Pulling open her door, the man seized her 45 the neck and hair, and threw her out of the car onto the ground. She screamed, 46 her purse and the keys.
Two reporters of the local newspaper, Robert Bruce and Jeff Jackson, just outside their office building on a 47 , heard the screams and began running.
When they 48 Neilson’s car, the attacker had jumped into the driver’s seat and was 49 searching for the keys. Bruce opened the door, and he and Jackson dragged the man out. The attacker 50 back. But even in his cornered panic, he was no 51 for the two athletic men.
Reggie Miller, a worker of the local newspaper, heard the screams, too. He rushed back to the office to 52 the police, and then ran back with some plastic ropes —— used to tie up newspapers.
With his arms 53 tightly behind him, the prisoner looked up and said 54 , “I hope you guys feel good about yourselves – you just caught one of the most wanted men.” They 55 him and waited for the police.
Later, Bruce and Jackson were shocked to learn the man was the 56 carjacker (劫车者) and suspected murderer, whose 57 – but with a full head
of hair – had been recently printed in their own newspaper.
Neilson considers herself lucky 58 she suffered injuries. She believes the story might have had a 59 ending if those good people had not come to her aid. “Unfortunately,” she says, “many people would 60 have done what they did, and that is the real truth.”

When Friday finally arrived, I had to 46 Cassie’s Egg Force One

Those whose eggs broke were out; those whose eggs survived 48 three more steps and dropped them again. This would go on till the last egg broke.
After four rounds, only Cassie and I were 49 . I let go of my box. I heard someone say “ew” after seconds. Had my egg broken? I raced down the 50 . The side walk was dotted with egg shells(蛋壳) from those 51 drops. Finally I found my little Egg-cellent Egg Cream.
“That looks like egg drop soup, Laura,” Cassie said. She was holding her Egg Force One. My _52 raced. Had she won? I looked at her basket. 53 .

(08福建)The position of children in American family and society is no longer what it used to be. The 36 family in colonial (殖民时期的) North America was mainly concerned with survival and 37 that, its own economic prosperity. Thus, children were 38 in terms of their productivity (生产能力), and they played the role of producer quite early. 39 they fulfilled this role, their position in the family was one of subordination(附属).
With the 40 of the society, the position of children in the family and in the society became more important, In the complex and technological society
41 the United States has become, each 42 must fulfill a number of personal and occupational 43 and be in contact with many other members. 44 , viewing children as necessary members of society means that they are 45 more as people in their own right than as those of subordination. This acceptance of children as 46 participants in the family is reflected in various laws 47 the rights of children and in the social and public welfare programs.
This new 48 of children and the frequent contact between the members of society has also 49 an increasing interest in child-raising techniques. People today spend much time 50 the proper way to 51 children.
Nowadays, the socialization of the child in the United States is a 52 transaction (事务)between parent and child 53 a one-way, parent-to-child training 54 . As a consequence, socializing children and 55 with them over a long period of time is for parents a mixture of pleasure, satisfaction, and problems.

“Stop 47 him! Can't you see he's only trying to get home”

“Well, that's no 49 to throw him off the bus.” She insisted.
Then she reached inside her blouse, took out her 50 money, and handed it to the conductor. “Here's his fare and mine. Just stop giving him a 51 time.
All heads turned to the woman. “ It's only money,” she shrugged.
She rode the rest of her way home 52 a happy smile, with the money she'd lost earlier 53 .

(08上海)Section A: Frederick Douglass was an escaped slave in the movement that fought to end slavery in the United Stales. He became a 41 voce in the yean before the Civil War.
A few weeks ago, the National Park Service (NPS) _42_ Douglass's birth and Black History Month with the reopening of his home at Cedar Hill, a _43 site in Washington. D.C. The two-story house, which contains many of Douglass's personal possessions, had undergone a three-year _44 _. (Thanks to the NTS website, however, you don't have to live in the nation's capital to visit it. Take a tour online.)
He was born Frederick Augustus Washington Bailey to a slave mother and a white father he never knew. Douglass grew up to become the first black _45 to bold a government office — as US minister and consul general (总领事) to Haiti.
As a youth, be never went to school. Educating slaves was illegal in the South, so be _46 taught himself to read and write. At 21 years old, he escaped from his slave owner to Massachusetts and changed his last name to Douglass, to hide his identity.
In the 1850s, Douglass was involved with the Underground Railroad, the system _47 up by antislavery groups to bring runaway slaves to the North and Canada. His home in Rochester, N.Y. was near the Canadian border. It became an important station on the _48 , housing as many as 11 runaway slaves at a time.

Section B: People think children should play sports. Sports are fun, and playing with others. However, playing sports can have __50 effects on children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kidsand sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been __51 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad __52 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main _53 of too much aggression ill children's sports. They believe children _54 _ aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that__55 is everything. Many parents go to children's sporting events and shout __56 _ at other players or cheer when their child behaves __57__. As well, children arc even taught that hurting other players is _ 58 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured _59 , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to 60 this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches _61 should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better__62 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to __63 _ , themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when i
njured, this gives the message that __64 is not as important as winning.

Not knowing we were poor, my kids (孩子们) just thought I was 38 I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t 39 for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big 40 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 41
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 42 what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately. I had saved $120 for 43 to share by all five of us.
The big 44 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 45 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered (散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 46_ back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 47 my younger daughter, Ginger. who was unusually 48 . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies — fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 49 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, 50 to be angry again. This is what she told me:
“1 was looking 51 thinking of what to buy, and 1 52 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 53 for Christmas was a doll (玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 54 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”

(08北京)When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could __36__ tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 37 in class.
When I took the first exam, I was 38 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 39 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained_ 40 .
I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that 41 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 42 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his 43 .
One more test before the final exam. One more 44 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time. 45 The meaning of the word “thorough”. But my 46__ did no good and everything 47 as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what 48 I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 49 goodbye.
I stopped working head. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 50 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have 51__with a test.
A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He 52__ to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you 53 , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.”
I stared at him. 54 That his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head 55 , as I had never done before.
I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered
Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

(08江西)The three youths leaned over the metal rails along the sea-wall and watched a few fishermen pull in their nets. About thirty metres away, a boat pulled alongside the slippery steps leading 36 to the sea.
“Hey, look!” exclaimed Rahim. “Those two men are 37 heavy rocks. I thought we no longer do muscle labour in this technological 38 .”
“They are 41 laborers who know how to spread the weight of the rocks they 42 . See how the man positions the rock just at the slope of his 43 . Some of the rock’s weight is set 44 his head, some on the right hand and some on the left hand. His body isn’t bent. His legs are well 45 .”
