People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. In this sense they mean that the home is very important and 21 . Most people in Britain live in houses 22 flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个人的); they can 23 them and change them in any way they 24 . In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private space which is 25 for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to 26 their space. Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train? If you are on the beach you may have spread your 27 around you; on the train you may have 28 your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a 29 to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no 30 on my side of the table at all. I was made rather 31 . I thought he thought that he owned the 32 table. I took various papers out of my bag and put them on 33 ! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had 34 his space ! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He 35 moved his case to his side of the table. ( Of course , it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me !

During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a "free" course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 4 1 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn't want to 4 2 a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't 4 3 enough about free credits, news about our 4 4 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 4 5 I would be learning from one of the game's 4 6 ,I could hardly wait to 4 7 him.

Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 4 8 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he make it 4 9 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 5 0 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 5 1 what we would learn in class to our future professions and 5 2 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 5 3 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 5 4 .

Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he 5 5 me: "The absolute most important 5 6 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 5 7 .On every single move you have to 5 8 a situation, process what your opponent(对手) is doing and 5 9 the best move from among all your options." These words still ring true today in my 6 0 as a journalist.

The Homeless Hero

For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source（来源）of temptation（诱惑）. But the 1 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 2 more remarkable.

After spotting a 3 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 4 to return.

After hours in the cold and wet, he 5 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so he could contact（联系）the driver, only to 6 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.

He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 7 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car-which was itself worth £35, 000-in Glasgow city centre, they were 8 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 9 .

The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 10 .

Mr. Anderson said：＂I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 11 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 12 he didn't take the wallet for himself；he thought about others 13 . It's unbelievable. It just proves there are 14 guys out there.＂

Mr. Smith's act 15 much of the public's attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 16 about the act of kindness on Facebook.

Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 17 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. ＂I think the faith that everyone has shown 18 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he's had job 19 and all sorts,＂ Mr. Anderson commented.

For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 20 . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

No one is born a winner. People make themselves into winners by their own 1 .

I learned this lesson from a(n) 2 many years ago. I took the head 3 job at a school in Baxley, Georgia. It was a small school with a weak football program.

It was a tradition for the school's old team to play against the 4 team at the end of spring practice. The old team had no coach, and they didn't even practice to 5 the game. Being the coach of the new team, I was excited because I knew we were going to win, but to my disappointment we were defeated. I couldn't 6 I had got into such a situation. Thinking hard about it, I came to 7 that my team might not be the number one team in Georgia, but they were 8 me. I had to change my 9 about their ability and potential.

I started doing anything I could to help them build a little 10 .Most important, I began to treat them like 11 .That summer, When the other teams enjoyed their 12 ,we met every day and 13 passing and kicking the football.

Six months after suffering our 14 on the spring practice field, we won our first game and our second, and continued to 15 .Finally, we faced the number one team in the state. I felt that it would be a 16 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 17 my life！

From the experience I learnt a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 18 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 19 them. I helped them to see themselves 20 ,and they built themselves into winners.

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighbourhood arrive at their college classes on time.

A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 1 free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started 2 his car to the young people. Wilson has 3 am astonishing 64, 000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 4 with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he's 5 have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they've also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students 6 call him "Grandpa".

Tina Stern 7 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 8 . "It's not just a ride；you're not just sitting there in 9 silence or with your headphones on." Stern said. "He asks you questions and actually 10 the answers, so the next time you ride with him, he'll 11 those things."

Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation. On Point for College. Although the 12 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes 13 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration.

Wilson is there to 14 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities. Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 15 to buy them a meal.

For many students, Wilson's help is not only appreciated, it's also entirely 16 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to 17 vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 18 them to complete their education-but according to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 19 . "I just love driving and I love these kids, "Wilson said. "It's such a(n) 20 to be a part of these kids' lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories."
