I exclaimed. "I'm the luckiest(9) boy alive!"The instant I came out of her room, however, I found a shadow hanging over my happiness. The fact that my mother did not reveal(10) the slightest hint of her intention to buy me this present indicated(11)that she wanted it to be a complete surprise that would add to my pleasure as well as hers on Christmas. Though I felt deep gratitude(12) to her, I would not be able to cry out my love spontaneously(13) from the heart at the critical(14) moment now that I knew her secret.

Learning (1)strategies help make the difficult task of studying English easier. For instance, it is beneficial to treat new words in different ways according to how (2)frequently they occur in everyday use: active words you must practice (3)over and over again :useful words you must (4)commit to memory; words that seldom occur in everyday situations require just a nodding (5)acquaintance. It also pays to (6)watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things in english. As idiomatic usage often causes difficulties for Chinese students, you must pay close attention to the way native speakers (7)communicate.Language learning is , in fact ,an active (8)process .Students who make a conscious effort to practice English, who seek out (9)opportunities to use what they have learned, are more successful than those who (10)rely on the teacher to do the whole job. Undoubtedly, it is all important to (11)put into practice through speaking and writing what you have (12)absorbed from reading and listening.2. Fill in the missing words:Many of you are studying English and you may be wondering why ti is so difficult to learn. It is actually not that difficult to learn (1)if you know some basic facts (2)about the language and culture that (4)it reflectsPerhaps the first thing you need to (4)know about English is that it is make (5)up of several other languages such (6)as French, German, Latin, Greek and Anglo-Saxon. In (7)addition ,there are words from Spanish in English and many American Indian words and names;(8)even some Chinese and Japanese words have found their way (9)into the English language. This borrowing of words from (10)other languages is one of the key reasons (11)for some of the difficulties that people meet with (12)while they are learning English. The story of Francis Chichester, as retold here is one of heroism and adventure in the face of great danger.(1)In spite of his suffering from lung (2)cancer,the 65-year-old Chichester was (3)determined to (4)accomplish his dream of sailing single-handed round the world. In August, 1966,he (5)set out form England on the first leg of his (6)voyage to Australia .After 107days as sea, he arrived in Sydney.Due to his weakened condition, his friends made repeated attempts to (7)dissuade him from going any further. He refused to (8)give up however; and after a few weeks' rest he set off once again. When he arrived back in England in May 1967,he had (9)coverde28,500miles, a distance no one had (10)previously sailed alone. He was given a hero's welcome.2.Fill in the missing words:The voyage began because I was terrified of Cape Horn If anything terrifies me , I must (1)conquer it.I had read terrible things written (2)about Cape Horn by people who had (3)succeeded in making the passage. All the water (4)between South America and the Antarctic is squeezed (5)through this narrow, shallow gap. You get waves 50 feet (6)high.I read a lot of books about the old clipper ships that used to (7)sail round the Horn, and my plan took, shape I would (8)follow the route of these great sailing vessels from England to Australia (9)round the cape of Good Hope and (10)then round Cape Horn back to England. Not only that, (11)but i would try to equal their average sailing time for these voyages.(12)As it turned out, I did not succeed. I (13)made mistakes. I did not go as (14)fast as they did. But I (15)did sail round the world single-handed. No one had (16)ever done that before. It is always satisfying to do something (17)that no one else has done.On the (1)occasion of the old lady's eightieth birthday, she waited eagerly to see what kind of present he daughter, Myra, would send to her. Since her first daughter, Enid, had died two years before, the old lady had (2)endured the loneliness of living by herself. It was (3)rare for Myra to visit her mother, but still, the old lady was proud of her. She felt sure that her daughter would celebrate her birthday with something special. As she waited for the (4)postman, the old lady (5)trembled with excitement because she was quite sure she would receive a lovely present. (6)After all, she thought, even if Myra paid little attention to her mother (7)at other times, today was a very special day. However, when the postman came, the old lady found to her (8)disappointment that, rather than choosing a special gift, Myra had simply sent her a cheque folded in a card.2.Fill in the missing words:AOld age has always been thought of as the worst age to be; but it is not (1)necessary for the old to be unhappy. (2)With old age should come wisdom and the ability to help others (3)with advice wisely given. (4)The old can have the joy (5)of seeing their children making progress (6)in life; they can watch their grandchildren (7)growing up around them; and , perhaps best of all, they can, (8)if their life has been a useful (9)one, feel the happiness of having come (10)through the battle of life safely and of having reached a time (11)when they can lie back and rest, leaving others to (12)continue the battle.BA Hollywood producer was determined to give his mother a birthday (1)present that would be better than (2)any his brothers were giving her. He heard about an amazing bird which (3)could talk in twelve languages and (4)sing ten famous operas. He immediately bought the bird and (5)sent it to his mother. It (6)cost him $50,000.The day after her (7)birthday, he phoned his mother.."What did you think of the (8)bird , Mother?" he asked eagerly. His mother (9)replied, "Delicious!"It is (1)proposed in this article that television be (2)prohibit for a period of time each evening As (3)social scientists have long noted, excessive television watching damages a family's ability to communicate with one another; and may (4)actually lead to some forms of mental illness as well as a rising (5)rate of divorce. Forcing families to turn off their television set each evening may indeed may indeed be a way of bringing them (6)together. Therefore, this (7)proposal may well be a (8)worthwhile one. It would, however, (9)involve some difficulty in putting it into effect, as few Americans would be willing to give up a single moment of television time.2 .Fill in the missing words:AMost people in the United States watch TV, even though they complain about television sometimes. It's great (1)fun to watch TV, and it's easy. You (2)turn on the TV, sit down (3)in a comfortable chair, and see many (4)interesting things. The people on TV will (6)make you laugh and cry. They (6)will inform you and excite you. (7)From watching TV, you can learn about the (8)latest news from all over the world, (9)and you can learn about new developments (10)in science, art, literature, and technology. You can (11)watch sports on TV. You can watch the Olympics, (12)or a local sports event. Finally, (13)in some places, it is possible (14)to go to school by watching television. (15)There are special classes on TV (16)for high school and college students. A person (17)may get al good education at (18)home.These are some of the (19)reasons for watching TV. There are others.BThese days I don't watch television, (1)but a few years ago I(2)used to watch it every night. I was often a (3)little tired in the evenings and there are (4)few forms of entertainment that demand as (5)little effort as television. Unfortunately there are a large (6)number of people in my family; (7)some wanted to see one program (8)while others preferred another. I was happy to look at (9)any program, but the others spent a great (10)deal of time arguing each night and there was (11)no way of settling the matter except by selling the set. (12)Now everyone at home reads instead.During her high school days Linda made up her mind to write and illustrate(1) her own books. When she told her fellow students what she had decided to do, they burst into(2)laughter. Their laughter(3) left her deeply embarrassed(4), but she did not lose heart. Instead, she kept putting down on paper what she felt, refusing to believe that it took a genius(5) to do writing. After she got married Linda had to look after her children and do all the cooking, cleaning and laundry(6)for the family. But still she managed to fit her favorite(7) work in most of the time. So far she has written eight books, four of which have been published(8). Linda firmly believes that you can write a book so long as you set your mind on (9)it. It doesn't matter what qualifications(10) you have. What does matter is whether you have a great determination to succeed.2 .Fill in the missing words:A laundry worker wanted to be a writer. On nights and weekends, the clack-clack of his(1) typewriter filled the house. He spent all his spare money on sending his manuscripts(2) to publishers. Everyone rejected them. One day the laundry worker read a novel that reminded him of(3) his own work. He sent his manuscript to the book's publisher(4). The manuscript was then given to Bill Thompson, an editor of the publishing(5) house. It (6) had too many flaws. But (7) Thompson did believe the laundry worker had promise as a writer and encouraged him to try(8) again. Over the next 18 months, the laundry worker sent the editor two more(9) manuscripts. The editor rejected both(10). The laundry worker began working on(11) a fourth novel. But with bills rising he began to lose(12) hope.One night, he threw(13) his manuscript into rubbish bin. The next day, his wife took it out."You shouldn't (15)give up, "she told him. "Not when(16) you're so close." perhaps he no longer believed in himself(17), but his wife did. And so(18) did an editor he'd never met, Encouraged , he (19) wrote on. When he finished(20), he sent the novel to Bill Thompson. Several day later he received a $3,000 advance, and(21) a best-seller novel was born.Sam Adams seemed to be born an industrial engineer. Since his very childhood, he was an efficiency(1) expert, or so he thought. He was very well organized in his everyday life. Furthermore(2), he tried to get every family member organized, too. His amazing(3) efficiency in doing everything and his great powers of observation(4) provided him with a good foundation(5) for a career(6) in industrial engineering. After his graduation.,he got a job in a shirt factory to reorganize(7) the assembly(8) line. It was easy for him to spot the problems. Within a week, he was able to present his findings(9) to the management(10) and offer suggestions(11) for making the operations more productive(12) , such as broadcasting background(13) music, beautifying the environment, relieving(14) the boredom of the workers, and firing whoever was holding up(15) the work flow. Unfortunately(16), his efforts for quality control did not work out as he had expected.2 .Fill in the missing words:When our children were born, my wife Nancy gave up her job to look after them.A year ago , Nancy and I decided to change paces(1). Nancy was beginning to get bored(2) at home all day. I was working hard at the time, but I didn't enjoy(3) my job. Most of all, I hated going(4) to work in the rush hour(5) every day. I thought Nancy was the(6) lucky one; she could organize her day in(7) her own way—she didn't have a boss telling(8) her what to do. But I didn't 9) think of exchanging roles with her until(10) she applied for a job. She got the job(11), at a salary higher than mine(12). It seemed sensible for her to take(13) it and for me to stay(14) at home.At(15) first I really enjoyed staying at home and being(16) with the children. I now understand(17) my children better through spending so(18) much time with them. Btu I must admit, I do find housework very boring(19) . Most of my friends are at work(20) all day, so I often don't have an(21) adult conversation with anyone until(22) Nancy comes home!Bat an (23) the whole, I think we made the right(24) decision. I have learned a lot, and so (25) has my wife. For the first time I appreciate what(26) women do at home and I can understand some of their problems(27).When the elderly(1) man entered the pudding shop, his worn(2) appearance made it quite evident(3) that he could not afford to buy any of the Christmas puddings that were laid ou(4) on the counter. However, he sampled(5) them as if it were his honest intention(6) to purchase one. He appeared out of place(7) among the other more prosperous(8) looking customers; and, feeling that he had probably come down(9) in the world, I decided top do him a favor by buying him one. To my surprise, however, he seemed quite insulted by my offer, and immediately counted out(10) what little money he had to purchase one for himself.2 .Fill in the missing words:Joe was going into his usual bar before lunch when(1) he saw a poorly dressed man fishing in(2) a small pool of rain-water about five centimeters deep(3) outside it. Joe stopped and watched the man for(4) a few minutes. He saw that most of (5) the people who passed by him believed he must(6) be rather mad.Joe pitied the man, so(7) after a few minutes he went(8) up to him and said kindly(9), "Hello,would you like to come(10) into the bar and have a drink (11) with me?"The fisherman was delighted to accept his offer(12), and the two men went into the bar(13) together. Joe bought the fisherman a (14) few drinks, and finally said to(15) him, "You've been fishing outside here, haven't(16) you ? How many did you manage to catch(17) this morning, if I may ask(18)?""you are the eighth," the fisherman answered(19) merrily.As Christmas approached(1), I naturally began to wonder what present I might get. One day, I came upon(2) a bicycle with ballon tires in a second-hand goods store and secretly wished my mother would somehow scrape together(3) the money to buy it for me. But I didn't really think our income could stretch to a present that cost something like(4) 15 dollars. And I wasn't bred to be so selfish as to rob my sister Doris of (5) her joy of getting the present she desired.A few days later, however, when I went into my mother's room in search of(6) a safety pin, I was astonished(7) to find the very bicycle I'd been admiring in the store. "My dream has come true(8)!" I exclaimed. "I'm the luckiest(9) boy alive!"The instant I came out of her room, however, I found a shadow hanging over my happiness. The fact that my mother did not reveal(10) the slightest hint of her intention to buy me this present indicated(11) that she wanted it to be a complete surprise that would add to my pleasure as well as hers on Christmas. Though I felt deep gratitude(12) to her, I would not be able to cry out my love spontaneously(13) from the heart at the critical(14) moment now that I knew her secret. I am a man with absolutely(15) no acting talent. I am not a man who can pretend. What could I do not to deny(16) her the joy of seeing me surprised and delighted?2 .Fill in the missing words:The whole family objected violently when I said that I was going to Europe over the Christmas holiday with a college friend of mine(1). Mother said that since there was going to be a family reunion, I really ought(2) to stay at home.although I always enjoyed these occasions, nobody(3) could persuade me to change my mind(4).A week before Christmas, my friend and I flew to Madrid and then(5) traveled by train through Spain, France and Germany. On(6) Christmas Eve we arrived at a small town in southern Germany and were amazed to find(7) so much activity in the town. The streets were crowded with people, and the shops were full(8) of all kinds of interesting things. We walked(9) around for hours and then just at(10) midnight we went to listen to Christmas songs sung by children around a brightly lit tree in the main square. We returned(11) to our hotel late that night, looking(12) forward to the next day and we planned to have Christmas dinner in(13) the best restaurant in town. However(14), int her morning the streets were deserted. To make matters worse, everything was closed uptight—even the stores. We searched in vain for(15) hours and finally had to return to our hotel feeling(16) unhappy and lonely. Our"feast" was a sack of fruit that(17) my friend had happened to buy the day before(18). Our thoughts sadly turned to home where(19), at that moment, our family must(20) have been wishing us a "Merry Christmas!"Unit 9Scientists on Venus are discussing the feasibility(1) of landing a manned flying saucer on Earth, based on (2) information received from a satellite. Their conclusions(3) are that the planet Earth is unfit(4) for habitation because of its highly polluted(5) condition. For one thing, deadly(6) gases in the atmosphere(7) make it extremely(8) dangerous to breathe. For another(9) the water, also polluted, has become undrinkable. For these reasons, it would be difficult for anyone to survive(10) on Earth. Undoubtedly the flying saucer program will be set back(11) under these conditions, but the Venusian scientists are determined to proceed(12) with their exploration of the planet Earth.2 .Fill in the missing words:Some scientists think that man may not find life pleasant in the world of the future. Others think that he (1) may not be able to live in it(2) at all. Everyone must know that the world is in danger(3). Here is one example of the problem(4). At one time there were 1,300 different(5) plants, trees, and flowers in Holland, but(6) now only 866 remain. The others(7) have been destroyed by modern man. We are changing(8) the earth, the air and water,and everything that(9) grows and lives. If we continue(10) like this we shall destroy ourselves(11).What will happen in the future(12)? Perhaps it is more important to ask(13) "What should we do now?" the people(14) who will be living in the world(15) of tomorrow are the young people of in(16). Many of them know that it is around(17) to take care of the environment(18). Some are helping to save our world(19).There are 15 million young people in(20) different countries who study man and the living things around(21) him. They take steps to prevent(22) pollution in the air, on land and at(23) sea. They plant trees and help to protect(24) wild birds and animals.But everyone(25), not only young people, must work to save(26) our world.Unit10When the college students were on the bus to Fort Lauderdale for their spring break, they noticed a mysterious(1)-looking man in a nearby seat. The man seemed caught up in(2) his own thoughts, and the students wondered what stories there were behind his dusty(3) face. Finally, one of the girls made her way(4) to his seat and introduced herself to him; and he began to painfully(5) tell the story of his years in prison and separation from his wife. As the bus approached his hometown, he told the students that he had written to his wife, telling her that if she wanted to take him back(6), she should tie a yellow handkerchief on the big oak tree on the outskirts of the town as a sign. If there was no handkerchief, he would vanish(7) from her life and never trouble her again. When the bus pulled into (8) the town, he and the students watched anxiously for the yellow handkerchief. At last the students exclaimed(9) their congratulations to the man when, not one, but countless yellow handkerchiefs appeared on the oak tree.2 .Fill in the missing words:Ii still don't believe in ghosts even after my experience at the Rose Inn. At least(1) I have never seen one. But ghost stories have made me feel(2) uncomfortable since then. I arrived at(3) the inn late at night and asked the landlord for(4) a room."there's nothing left," he said,"unless(5) you'd like to sleep in Number 7.""why not?" I said. "What' wrong with(6) it?" I was so tired that I would have slept anywhere(7)"nothing," he said slowly. "but something happened(8) there a few months ago."Every old inn has its(9)strange stories, so I thought that the(10) sooner he told me about it the better(11). I was willing to listen to anything(12) for the sake of a bed to sleep in(13)."A man came here late one(14) night, like you," the landlord said(15). "i thought there was something strange about(16) him because he kept looking over(17) his shoulder while he was signing his name(18) in the book. He asked me which(19) room he could have and I offered(20) him Number7. 'There's a man who(21) has said he'll kill me,' he said suddenly. 'With a knife.' He looked so frightened(22) that I thought I had better take(23) him to his room. I unlocked the door and left him by (24) himself. The next day we found him dead(25), with a knife beside him. He had cut (26) his own throat," the landlord said. "O r someone else(27) had done it. Do you mind sleeping(28) there now that you know the story?""Well," I said. "No one is following(29) me. But I wish you had(30) told me the story in the morning. Asa it is, I'll sleep here on(31) the floor in the bar if(32) you've got a couple of blankets."。
