Others go to school to learn a skill so that they can 2 a living. School 3 is very important and useful. Yet no one can learn everything from school. A teacher, no matter how much he 4 , can not teach his students everything they 5 to know. The teacher's job is to show his students how to read and how to 6 . So much more is to be learned 7 school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by 8 than to memorize(熟记)some facts or formula(公式). It is 9 quite easy to learn a 10 fact in history or a formula in mathematics. But it is very difficult to use a formula in 11 out a maths problem. Great scientists, such as Einstein, Newton and Galileo, didn't learn many things from school. But they were all so 12 that they invented so many things for mankind.The 13 for their success is that they knew how to study. They read books that were not 14 at school. They worked hard all their lives, wasting not a single moment. They would ask many questions as they read and they did thousands of 15 .1. A. Students B. They C. We D. People2.

It is said that the best way of flattering someone is to give him a “top hat” 1 .A student was going to leave the capital to become 2 official(官员) in a city far away. Before he started, he came to say 3 to his teacher.“It is 4 job to be a good official.” his teacher said. “ you must be strict 5 yourself and never be careless.”“Don’t worry about me, sir.” The student answered. “I have already 6 one hundred top hats, which will 7 those people quite happy.”“B ut we are really gentlemen! 8 could a real gentleman do such a thing” his teacher was a bit 9 . “Never forget 10 I taught you in class!”“ 11 are always right, sir I also hate such things. But, sir, 12 no one really gentleman like you can be seen in the world now.” said the student. It seemed that he had to do so.After hearing this , the teacher was 13 . “What you said is true!”“I have 14 one top hat already.

I try to listen 4 , but usually I am too 5 thinking about my day. On this day, however, her talk was worth 6 .“My father’s ill ,” she said to no one in particular(特别地). I could see worry in her 7 . I had never seen her like this before. She always meets students 8 a smile.With a sudden change of interest, I asked, “ what’s wrong with him?”With her eyes wet and her voice 9 , she answered, “Heart trouble.”Her eyes lowered as she continued. “I’ve already 10 my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.” I couldn’t answer. My heart ached for her.I sat on the 11 thinking of the great pain my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw h ow hard it was, and still is, for her. I wouldn’t want to anyone to go through that.Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus 12 , that was just her job. She had a whole world of family and cares 13 .I suddenly 14 very selfish. I paid no attention to Janie because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.I shouldn’t have been so selfish and self-centered. 15 people is an art.1.

The head of the college, Miss Baker, had a 2 in the car park for her own small car. There were white 3 around it, and it had a small blackboard saying, “Only for Head of College.”。
I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once 1 and did not know the 2 very well. I was on the 3 after I had made some inquiries (询问).At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut. The short cut was to 4 several hills and was dangerous ,I hesitated (犹豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be 5 .Something strange happened after I drove a long 6 and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to 7, but the hilly road I decided to avoid .I realized that it was at the 8 that I had made the 9 mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself .If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thin it 10 , I decided to go on. “If 11 people can go along this road, why can‟t I?” I 12 myselfThe short cut, to my surprise ,was not that 13 .In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road, 14 up and down two low 15 .There was 16 traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and 17 with cows and horses. My fear was 18 with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立体声), I drove on and 19 the scenery which was so quiet and so natural .Even my used car forgot to give me 20 .It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.1. A. before B. ago C. already D. still2. A. town B. country C. friends D. way3.

My house has been 1 for such a long time，and I‟m lonely and forgotten. Sitting here, by myself, all that I can do is 2 and th i nk about my past. I could tell you stories that only 3 would know. But walls can‟t speak.I came to this place many years ago，along with an old man…. 4 , he was with me for on1y three short years before he passed o n….For a time，I was left alone，while people came and 5 t he house…. Then，one day a nice couple moved in with a young son. 6 , the i r son Danny liked to stay with me，and I was completely 7 with him. He always looked as if he loved the stories I told，most of which began with. ……Back i n my day…” and ……When I was 8 .…” I sometimes had the kind of idea that he didn‟t really understand what I was saying，but it felt good to be 9 ．When Danny went off to college, my heart broke. Soon afterward, 10 sold the house.…New owners came and 11 . Then，One day it so happened that I was in when a new family was moving into the house. You can‟t even imagine my 12 when，unexpectedly, Danny walked through the front door. He had a 13 and kids now. I was so overjoyed when I saw him that I put all my 14 into my daily activities. ... I spent the next twenty years watching his kids grow up, with a mixture of pride and 15 about what would happen next.The kids finally became 16 and Danny sold the house. That was about five years ago…. Some of the local kids ha v e started the rumor that the house is haunted (闹鬼的)--- and，in a way，it is. It is haunted by 17 of all the people who have lived in it. Every second has 18 me so much. I have been 19 them down and they are almost up for me.... I hope that someday somebody will 20 me, and drop in on me again. Maybe then I‟ll get a new home and an opportunity for a whole new set of memories.1. A. crowded B. empty C. painted D. sold2. A. look back B. enjoy food C. have a dream D. chat with friends3.

I could not 2 the habit I had at home , so I fell asleep right at my 3 . I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dad‟s back. We were 4 home. It was the last time I felt 5 to him.After that, he never carried me or hugged me as other fathers did to their children. I was not bothered much by this 6 . I was proud of it, for I felt 7 and “grown up.” However, there were times when I felt depressed by not having sought 8 from him.One day, I was writing Chinese characters as homework. I hated doing this more than anything. Dad came and stood behind me for a moment, 9 me scratching (乱吐，勾抹) the paper. Then he said,“This kind of writing needs 10 .Your writing is not strong enough. Press harder.”I follow his 11 for the next two words, but 12 I could see little improvement, I followed my own method-the 13 way. His advice did not improve my writing but our 14 . As I grew older, I found out that he had finished his 15 in Grade 6, which was the highest grade in town then, so he was considered to be a 6 . People used to ask him to write something to put on the walls, but he never felt very useful.He often said to me, “As you can see, this family is going to count on you. We are 17 to improve you anything for your future .Your have to get 8 to change the life for yourself.”As a result of his 19 , I have 20 it through high school and through college.1.

I normally do not 6 it is Friday and I am on my way to prayers. 7 I sense an uneasiness in the carriage. People are 8 . No one is speaking and it must be said that no one is being 9 unfriendly towards me. But I think the 10 I get are different. I am being checked out, sized up. It is all a bit uncomfortable.People are looking around for things and people 11 look suspicious (可疑的). I am doing it a bit 12 and in the coming days, as more claims are made about the people who did this and their aims, that feeling is likely to get 13 . As you look around the 14 , it is difficult to know what people are thinking. Some are 15 thinking “those Muslims come here and look what they do" but they 16 understand we condemn (谴责) this like everyone else.Whoever did this didn't 17 about who was killed or whether they were Christian or Muslim. They just had no respect 18 human life at all. We all travel around London and we use public transport. We have as much fear as anyone else about 19 in something.

For a moment, I thought he might be 3 ,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was 4 . I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to 5 that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But, 6 , I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very 7 city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he 8 to tell me all about his friend.His friend‟s main 9 in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he 10 had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming 11 , yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several 12 like that, including my brother, who was doctor in California. He 13 that maybe there were more private courts in the country, than he 14 but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me 15 my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence 16 his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a 17 who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had 18 the house next to my broth er‟s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.“Would your friend‟s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He 19 and said, “Yes.

On the steps of one building, a group of engineering seniors gathered, discussing the exam due to begin in a few 1 . On their faces was confidence (自信). This was their last exam —then on to 2 and jobs.Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 3 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 4 of the world.The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 5 task. The professor had said they could bring 6 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 7 each other, during the test.8 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 9 on the students‟ faces as they noted there were only five essay-type questions.Three hours had passed 10 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.He looked at the 11 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?”12 a hand was raised.“How many answered four?” Still no hands.“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 13 .”But the class remained silent.The professor put down the papers. “That is exact ly what I 14 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 15 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 61 you don‟t know. These questions you couldn‟t answer are relatively 17 in everyday practice. ”Then smiling, he added, “You will all 18 this course, but remember —even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 19 .”The years have 20 the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.1.
