The greatest source of inspiration for me has always been my father. Though he’s been gone for 17 years, his   21 still resonate（产生共鸣）. He taught me how to run my own race in life. But the most inspiring thing he taught me was to   22 .
One incident is   23  in my mind. It happened when I was a teenager. My sister and I weren’t very fond of a so-called friend of   24 . Dad was a very generous man, and as he’d done with so many people, he’d given this fellow great help. But when he asked for a favor   25 , the guy didn’t deliver.
Dad’s outlook（人生观）on most things was “Live and let live.” In this case, however, his calmness   26 Terre and me, and we let him know it.
“How can you be nice to that man?” we said to him. “You’ve been so kind to him, and he’s not being kind back. Why would you want to give him the time of day again?”
My father shrugged（耸肩）and said to us, “I do not bend my back with   27 . ”
I didn’t get it at first, but over the years I came to understand the   28 . Holding a grudge（怨恨）doesn’t   29 the person you’re angry with, but it changes you. It makes you heavier and gives you more weight to drag around.
After my father died in 1991, a (n)   30 came from a fellow I’d had a quarrel with years before to   31 his sympathy. He wrote: “I thought I’d tell you how sorry I am   32 the loss of your father. I know he   33 the world to you. I just wanted to let you know that you are in my thoughts. ”
Much moved, I wrote back. I thanked him for his   34 . And then, because he’d   35
our disagreement, I recalled Dad’s inspiring words. “I am my father’s daughter,” I wrote. “And like him, I do not bend my back with yesterday.”

You are a German living in Berlin. One day you’ re walk¬ing down the street, minding your own business, when sudden¬ly a stranger comes up with a smile on his face. After stopping you, he holds a small electronic device (装置) close to his face and speaks slowly into it, saying, in English," Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?" What should you do? (a) Run away; (b) Call the police; or (c) Listen closely for the device to say in German," Konnen Sie mir bitte sagen, welches sauerkraut haufen kann?"
The most proper answer would be (c) because the person in front of you is only a tourist trying to enjoy himself. The de¬vice is said to be the world’s first portable(便携的) translator — a hand-held microcomputer that at the same time translates one spoken language into another. The four-pound, battery-op¬erated product is called the Voice, and it is the invention of Advanced Products and Technologies, an American electronics company. When the Voice is introduced in the Unite States in late April — at a price of (1,500 — it will be used to trans¬late spoken English into Italian, German, French and Span¬ish. The product comes with separate cartridges(盒式存储器) for each of the four languages, which can be changed when the user travels from one country to another. It will be sold in Eu¬rope soon after the US introduction, with cartridges that trans¬late Italian, German, French and Spanish into English.
The Voice uses a microchip(微型集成电路片) to trans¬late languages. It is Started by voice command and produces voice output through a built-in speaker. When the user makes a statement or asks a question, the Voice immediately repeats what has been said in another language.
1. The device held by the stranger is probably a kind of________.
A. a two-way radio B. language translator
C. easily-carried speaker D. a multi-functioned computer
2. What does the last sentence of the first paragraph mean?
A. Can you tell me where I can buy some sauerkraut?
B. Can I ask for some information from the police?
C. Would you like to try my device?
D. Would you not run away if I ask you where to buy some sauerkraut?
3. When the stranger says," Can you tell... sauerkraut?" he is ________.
A. learning German from his device
B. asking you the way to the sauerkraut shop
C. making fun of you with his device
D. testing his device for fun
4. Which of the following is not mentioned in the text?
A. The price of the hand-held microcomputer.
B. The function of the product Voice.
C. The producer pf the small electronic device.
D. The number of the device sold to the European coun¬tries.

Locusts （蝗虫） are perhaps the most dangerous of all,　 41　 they will eat almost any green　 42　 , and when millions of them　 43　 on cultivated land（耕地）they soon leave it　 44　. In some countries they are the farmer’s　 45　 enemy. Another nuisance is the common　 46　 , not only because it　 47　 us indoors and out - of- doors, but because it spreads diseases.
　　Scientists have given much time and　 48　 to the study of insects. It needs the most careful and　 49　 observation.

　　The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state　 36　the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have　 37　 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without　 38　 out any necessary fact.
　　In writing a letter of application, keep in　 39　 that the things a possible employer is most　
40　 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.　41　the first few sentences fail to　 42　 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be　 43　 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not　 44　 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your　 45　in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful　 46　 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives　 47　your product and why they like it.”
　　Try to　 48　 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now　 49　. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I　 50　 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no　 51　 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is　 52　.
　　It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.　53　 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent　54　 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it　 55　 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
　　36．A. clearly B. carefully C. obviously D. easily
　　37．A. found B. done C. known D. heard
　　38．A. sending B. taking C. leaving D. picking
　　39．A. brain B. sight C. order D. mind
　　40．A. probable B. possible C. likely D. able
　　41．A. While B. Although C. As D. If
　　42．A. pay B. win C. show D. fix
　　43．A. kept B. continued C. written D. read
　　44．A. to B. for C. into D. from
　　45．A. advertisement B. report
　　　　C. article D. introduciton
　　46．A. watch B. search C. study D. discussion
　　47．A. change B. make C. sell D. use．
　　48．A. avoid B. remember C. protect D. gain
　　49．A. losing B. applying C. preparing D. fitting
　　50．A. offer B. supply C. mean D. provide
　　51．A. worker B. beginner C. owner D. manager
　　52．A. success B. development C. practice D. experience
