The other girl picked up something of mine.My mother noticed that the middle child was wearing a46dress,so she gave the girl Jill’s longer sweater to wear.My father invited them to join us at our grandparents for Christmas dinner,but the parents 47.We left them there at the bus stop in Winborn.As we drove away,I watched out the window as long as I could,looking back at the little girl hugging her new doll.36.A.explained B.suggested C.checked D.wondered37.A.buy B.enjoy C.find D.pass38.A.moved B.raced C.started D.stopped39.A.whether B.when C.where D.why40.A.keep B.run C.make D.call41.A.set out B.picked up C.came up D.got in42.A.smile B.worry C.answer D.word43.A.trouble B.anger C.chance D.choice44.A.your B.my C.their D.his45.A.burned B.warmed C.woke D.lit46.A.warm B.cheap C.short D.new47.A.refused B.accepted C.doubted D.avoidedIn college,I wanted to be a math teacher.After completing four years of math courses,it was time to find a36.I wanted to teach in a big city at a nice school.But I quickly discovered there was a lot of37for teaching jobs.Finally my father suggested that I interview at a school in a very small town.The position there was for an English teacher!I went to the interview to38my dad.To my surprise,the headmaster offered me the job immediately.I accepted it because I needed a job.When I arrived at the school in the fall,there was a new headmaster.He didn’t know39 I was!Then I learned that I had to create a curriculum（课程）for each of my five classes.I didn’t know where to start.I was also asked to coach basketball and be the school drama（戏剧）director. And I had40taken a drama class!This was a little school,but it was a41job.During my first year,I almost lived at school.I worked hard creating lesson plans and holding basketball and play practices.Many students came from single-parent families.A lot of them didn’t42about school.Some of them were at our school because they had been kicked out of other schools.I felt very young and inexperienced.Even though I didn’t have much experience,I was full of encouragement and love.And that’s what I gave my students.I tried to make my classes fun and interesting.Once my students knew that I43teaching them,they behaved better.My students became so dear to me that I couldn’t imagine teaching44else.I remember one student couldn’t45breakfast. So I always gave him some bread on his way out of my class.He46all of his classes but mine.I think it was because I took the time to show him I47cared.Now when I think of my first teaching job,I have

dinner,my mother and I would sit at the kitchen table.She would present new tests,taking her36from 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 and37most 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 most38 word I could think of.She checked to see if that was possibly one way to39“Helsinki”before showing me the answer.The tests got40.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.And41I saw my mother’s disappointed(失望的)face once again,something inside of me began to42.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 this43face—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 her45me.I won’t be what I’m not.So the following nights when my mother presented46tests,I performed listlessly, my head on one arm.I pretended(假装)to be bored.And I was.I started to47other 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.Then the whole evening,she seemed to be thinking.The next day,she presented me some easier tests.I found my pleasure and confidence back again,and we started to be on the way to make me a

Young children across the globe enjoy playing games of hide and seek. For them, there’s something highly exciting about 41 someone else’s glance and making oneself unable to be seen.However, we all witness that preschool children are remarkably 42 at hiding. They often cover only their eyes with their hands, leaving the rest of their bodies 43 .For a long time, this ineffective hiding method was 44 as evidence that children are hopelessly “egocentric”(自我中心的) creatures. But our 45 research results in child developmental psychology 46 that idea.We brought young children aged 2-4 into our Minds in Development Lab at USC. Each 47 sat down with an adult who covered her own eyes or 48 . We then asked the child if she could 49 or hear the adult. Surprisingly, children replied that they couldn’t. The same 50 happened when the adult covered her own mouth: 51 children said that they couldn’t 52 to her.A number of 53 ruled out that the children misunderstood what they were being asked. The results were clear: Our young subjects 54 the questions and knew 55 what was asked of them. Their 56 to the questions reflected their true 57 that “I can see you only if you can see me, too.”They simply 58 mutual(相互的) recognition and regard. Our 59 suggest when a child “hides” by putting a blanket over her head, it is not a result of egocentrism. In fact, children consider this method 60 when others use it.41.

I was considering this while working as a 41 just a few weeks ago. And it came to me then how much easier it would be if we had a range of words that express different 42 of gratitude(感谢).My thoughts were soon 43 . We had a woman patient who was 44 from a knee replacement operation. One afternoon, while 45 to get into bed she collapsed(倒下) from what was 46 discovered to be a heart attack. The collapse was disastrous, 47 the emergency medical team and good teamwork. But she recovered, though 48 _, and was ready for discharge(出院) after four weeks.She was 49 for everything that the medical and nursing team had done for her. On her day of discharge, we shared in her 50 at her recovery. As she was 51 she was eager to say 52 to each of us in the nursing team. When she 53 one nurse, she tried to press a five-pound note into her hand. My colleague 54 to accept it, saying that we were all just 55 our job. The patient looked puzzled, and then 56 : “Oh this isn’t for the _57__ I had. I take that as a 58 . No, this is for setting my hair yesterday.”And there you have it.

If we __42__ it is a door, they’ll want to go outside __43__. It will drive us crazy. The kids apparently know the __44__. But our insisting it’s __45__ a window has kept them from __46__ millions of requests to open the door.I hate lying to the kids. One day they’ll __47__ and discover that everything they’ve always known about windows is a __48__. I wonder if __49__ shou ld always tell the truth no matter the __50__. I have a very strong __51__ that the lie we’re telling is doing __52__ damage to our children. Windows and doors have __53__ metaphorical (比喻) meanings. I’m telling them they can’t open what they absolutely kn ow is a door. What if later in __54__ they come to a metaphorical door, like an opportunity of some sort, and __55__ opening the door and taking the opportunity, they just __56__ it and wonder, “What if it isn’t a door?” That is, “What if it isn’t a __57__ opportunity?”Maybe it’s an unreasonable fear. But the __58__ is that I shouldn’t lie to my kids. I should just __59__ repeatedly having to say, “No. We can’t go outside now.” Then when they come to other doors in life, be they real or metaphorical, they won’t __60__ to open them and walk through.41.

The 42 might damage the beauty of the place. The glaciers(冰川) are disappearing, changing the 43 of Kilimanjaro.Hearing these stories, I’m 44 about the place — other destinations are described as “purer” natural experiences.However, I soon 45 that much has changed since the days of disturbing reports of 46 among tons of rubbish. I find a 47 mountain, with toilets at camps and along the paths. The environmental challenges are 48 but the efforts made by the Tanzania National Park Authority seem to be 49 .The best of a Kilimanjaro 50 , in my opinion, isn’t reaching the to p. Mountains are 51 as spiritual places by many cultures. This 52 is especially evident on Kilimanjaro as 53 go through five ecosystems(生态系统) in the space of a few kilometers. At the base is a rainforest. It ends abruptly at 3, 000 meters, 54 lands of low growing plants. Further up, the weather 55 — low clouds envelope the mountainsides, which are covered with thick grass. I 56 twelve shades of green from where I stand. Above 4, 000 meters is the highland 57 : gravel(砾石), stones and rocks. 58 you climb into an arctic-like zone with 59 snow and the glaciers that may soon disappear.Does Kilimanjaro 60 its reputation as a crowded mountain with lines of tourists ruining the atmosphere of peace?

I 41 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to 42 a few dollars? More than that, I’d always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren’t43 enough about free credits, news about our 44 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 45 I would be learning from one of the game’s 46 . I could hardly wait to 47 him.Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 50 the class among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and 52 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 53 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 54 .Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I' m still putting to use what he 55 me: “the absolute most important 56 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 57 . On every single move you have to 58 a situation, process what your opponent (对手) is doing and 59 the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 60 as a journalist.41.

My entire family is hearing, and so are all my friends. The 44 languages were enough in all my interactions(交往). Little did I know that I would discover my 45 for ASL.The 46 began during my first week at college. I watched as the ASL Club 47 their translation of a song. Both the hand movements and the very 48 of communicating without speaking 49 me. What I saw was completely unlike anything I had experienced in the 50 . This newness just left me 51 more.After that, feeling the need to 52 further, I decided to drop in on one of ASL club’s meetings. I only learned how to 53 the alphabet that day. Yet instead of being discouraged by my 54 progress, I was excited. I then made it a point to 55 those meetings and learn all I could.The following term, I 56 an ASL class. The professor was deaf and any talking was 57 . I soon realized that the silence was not unpleasant. 58 , if there had been any talking, it would have 59 us to learn less. Now, I appreciate the silence and the 60 way of communication it opens.41. A. searching B. planning C. natural D. formal42. A. progress B. experience C. major D. opinion43.

One morning in 2009, Larry was 41 along I65 north after delivering to one of his 42 . Suddenly, he saw a car with its bright lights on. 43 he got closer, he found 44 vehicle upside down on the road. One more look and he noticed 45 shooting out from under the 46 vehicle. Larry pulled over, set the brake and 47 the fire extinguisher (灭火器). Two good bursts from the extinguisher and the fire was put out.The man who had his bright lights on 48 and told Larry he had 49 an emergency call. They 50 heard a woman’s voice coming from the wrecked (毁坏的) vehicle. 51 the vehicle, they saw that a woman was trying to get out of the broken window. They told her to stay 52 until the emergency personnel arrived, 53 she thought the car was going to 54 .

Then, Larry asked the 57 if he was needed or 58 to go. They let him and the other man go.One thing is 59 --Larry went above and beyond the call of duty by getting so close to the burning vehicle!

On the way, we spotted a man holding a piece of paper that said, “ 41 my job. Family to Feed.”At this store, a 42 like this is not normal. My 10-year-old noticed him and make a 43 on how bad it must be to have to stand 44 in the cold wind.In the store, I asked each of my kids to 45 something they thought our “friend” there would 46 . They got apples, a sandwich and a bottle of juice. Then my 17-year-old suggested giving him a 47 . I thought about it. We were 48 on cash ourselves, but… well, sometimes 49 from our need instead of our abundance is 50 what we need to do! All the kids 51 something they could do away with for the week.When we handed him the bag of 52 , he lit up and thanked us with 53 eyes. When I handed him the gift card, saying he could use it for 54 his family might need, he burst into tears.This has been a wonderful 55 for our family. For days the kids have been looking for others we can 56 ! Things would have played out so 57 if I had simply said, “No, we really don’t have 58 to give more.” Stepping out not only helped a brother in 59 , it also gave my kids the 60 taste of h elping others.

As a matter of fact, we can see this 41 at work in people of all 42 . For example, on Christmas morning, children are excited about 43 with their new toys. But their 44 soon wears off and by January those 45 toys can be found put away in the basement. The world is full of 46 stamp albums and unfinished models, each standing as a monument to someone’s 47 interest. When parents bring home a pet, their child 48 bathes it and brushes its fur. Within a short time, however, the 49 of caring for the animal is handed over to the parents. Adolescents enter high school with great 50 but are soon looking forward to 51 . The same is true of the young adults going to college. And then, how many 52 , who now complain (抱怨) about the long drives to work, 53 drove for hours at a time when they first 54 their driver’s license (执照)? Before people retire, they usually 55 to do a lot of 56 things, which they never had 57 to do while working.

We were asked to “ 37 a disability” for several hours one Sunday. Some members,38 , chose to use wheelchairs. Others wore sound-blocking earplugs (耳塞) or blindfolds (眼罩).Just sitting in the wheelchair was a 39 experience. I had never considered before how 40 it would be to use one. As soon as I sat down my 41 made the chair begin to roll. Its wheels were not 42 . Then I wondered where to put my 43 . It took me quite a while to get the metal footrest into 44 . I took my first uneasy look at what was to be my only means of 45 for several hours. For disabled people, “adopting a wheelchair” is not a temporary46 .I tried to find a 47 position and thought it might be restful, 48 kind of nice, to be 49 around for a while. Looking around, I 50 I would have to handle the thing myself! My hands started to ache as I 51 the heavy wheels. I came to know that controlling the 52 of the wheelchair is not going to be a (an) 53 task.My wheelchair experiment was soon 54 . It made a deep impression on me.

According to specialists, our bodies send out more 37 than we realize. In fact, non-verbal communication (非言语交际) takes up about 50% of what we really 38 . And body language is particularly 39 when we attempt to communicate across cultures. Indeed, what is called body language is so 40 a part of us that it's actually often unnoticed. And misunderstandings occur as a result of it. 41 , different societies treat the 42 between people differently. Northern Europeans usually do not like having 43 contact even with friends, certainly not with 44 . People from Latin American countries 45 , touch each other quite a lot. Therefore, it's possible that in 46 , it may look like a Latino is 47 a Norwegian all over the room. The Latino, trying to express friendship, will keep moving 48 . The Norwegian, very probably seeing this as pushiness, will keep 49 --which the Latino will in return regard as 50 .Clearly, a great deal is going on when people 51 . And only a part of it is in the words themselves. And when parties are from 52 cultures, there's a strong possibility of 53 .

After 39 shouts of wildly wrong guesses the professor smiled a thin, dry smile, announced the 40 answer, and went on saying, “You have just 41 an important lesson about science. That is: Never 42 your own senses.”Twenty years later, the 43 could guess what the professor had in mind. He 44 himself, perhaps, as inviting his students to start an exciting 45 into an unknown world invisible (无形的) to the 46 , which can be discovered only through scientific 47 . But the seventeen-year-old girl could not accept or even 48 the invitation. She was just 49 to understand the world. And she 50 that her firsthand experience could be the 51 . The professor, however, said that it was 52 . He was taking away her only 53 for knowing and was providing her with no substitute (替代). “I remember feeling small and 54 .” The woman says, “and I did the only thing I could do.
