I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always tight, but we had a       over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always      . Not knowing we were poor, my kids(孩子们) just thought I was      . I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t       for a lot of gifts, we planned to celebrate with a family party. But the big       for the kids was the fun of Christmas      .
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking       what they wanted for Christmas. Fortunately, I had saved $120 for       to share by all five of us.
The big          arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and          them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would       back at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits,       my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually      . She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies— fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything       we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door,     to be angry again. This is what she told me：
“I was looking      thinking of what to buy, and I       to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees’.One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she       for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and       the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so       as I did that day.

A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.
Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.
But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”
Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏见)—I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.
The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.
In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.
But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.
When the author came to America at first ______.

According to the passage, what did the author regret?
A. That he gave all his change to the blind woman.
B. The way he treated the blind woman.
C. That he came to Washington D.C. for a visit.
D. That he didn’t tell the woman the way to the post office.
The father mentioned in the passage wanted ______.

We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT ______.

What does the author want to tell us through this story?

There are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.
But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.
You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.

Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?

Which of the following best summarizes the passage?

Expressions about water are almost as common as water itself. But many of the expressions using water have unpleasant meanings.
The expression “to be in hot water” is one of them. It is a very old expression. “Hot water” was used 500 years ago to mean being in trouble. One story says it got that meaning from the custom of throwing extremely hot water down on enemies attacking a castle．
That no longer happens. But we still get in “hot water”. When we are in “hot water”, we are in trouble. It can be any kind of trouble---serious or not so serious. A person who breaks a law can be in hot water with the police. A young boy can be in hot water with his mother if he walks in the house with dirty shoes．
Being in “deep water” is almost the same as being in hot water. When you are in deep water, you are in a difficult position. Imagine a person who cannot swim being thrown in water over his head. You are in deep water when you are facing a problem that you do not have the ability to solve. You can be in deep water, for example, if you invest in stocks without knowing anything about the stock market.
“To keep your head above water” is a colorful expression that means staying out of debt. A company seeks to keep its head above water during economic hard times. A man who loses his job tries to keep his head above water until he finds a new job．
“Water over the dam” is another expression about a past event. It is something that is finished. It cannot be changed. The expression comes from the idea that water that has flowed over a dam cannot be brought back again．
Another common expression, “to hold water”, is about the strength or weakness of an idea or opinion that you may be arguing about. It probably comes from a way of testing the condition of a container. If it can hold water, it is strong and has no holes in it. If your argument can hold water, it is strong and does not have any holes. If it does not hold water, then it is weak and not worth debating.
“Throwing cold water” also is an expression that deals with ideas or proposals. It means that one doesn’t like an idea. For example, you want to buy a new car because the old one has some problems. But your wife throws cold water on the idea because she says a new car costs too much.
This is our Special English program, WORDS AND THEIR STORIES. It was written by Marilyn Christiano. I’m Rich Kleinfeldt. See you next time.
According to the passage, expressions about water __________.

The expression “hot water” _________.

Which of the following expressions have the similar meaning?

If you’re familiar with the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise（乌龟）, you know that the tortoise proved that perseverance is much more important than speed.          , but fewer people have the patience and perseverance of the tortoise. Here are some tips that can help you to improve your perseverance.
●Set goals and write them down.
If you don’t know what you want to accomplish, it’s hard to persevere(坚持) until you do.        instead of making many projects that may upset you
●         , and cross each step off the list as you complete it.
If you want to master the ability to cook German dishes, you’ll need to read cookbooks, study the recipes（食谱）, buy ingredients（食料） and practice making the dishes. Write down all these steps and remove each step as you go.
●Make a list of the rewards related to any project to encourage yourself to persevere.
When you want to lose 40 pounds, it may seem like a difficult goal.        . You can lower yourblood sugar or fit into your favorite pair of jeans（牛仔裤）. Keep those rewards in mind to encourage yourself to stick to your diet and exercise program.
●Imagine your success.
Take time each day to sit back, relax and picture the life you’ll lead once you’ve reached your goal.    Read them over several times a day to encourage yourself to keep going.

E. But there are big rewards for doing so
F. Choose one or two goals that are most important to you and work toward those
