I would work many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union during college, I was a hotel maid (or waitress) and 21 made maps for the U.S. Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most satisfying(令人满意的).

I visited the boy in the recovery(康复) room soon after the operation. The first thing he did was to hold up his 30 hand and say, "Thank you." I felt a sense (感觉) of    31 .
In the past, while I was    32 , I always sensed (or felt) I was working for the customers(顾客), not the store. Today it’s the 33 . NBC News pays my salary(工资),    34 I feel as if I work for the     35 , helping them make sense of (or find the meaning of) the world.

It was in late April, dangerously near the well – known AP exams, when the absurdity(无助的荒诞感) of my life struck me. I was making a   36   of problems to be discussed for the evening as usual. When I   37  the great number of things on the list—a literature essay, timelines for American History, a Spanish presentation and   38 for tests in both Calculus and Physics, I was overwhelmed(难以承受) to the point of   39   exhaustion (extreme tiredness). After - school arrangements had already worn away my   40 . To keep myself awake at 11p.m. to finish five hours of   41  just seemed like too much to handle. I   42   at the computer screen with tears streaming down my cheeks,   43 my friend James about how stressed out I was over school.
His response was immediate. “Well,   44   did you decide to take five AP classes on the top of everything you’re doing?”
My response   45 just as quickly. “Because I need them for college. Harvard won’t   46   someone who doesn’t challenge themselves with difficult classes!”
The words sounded so   47   as I typed them on the screen that I   48 laughed out loud. I was supposed to be   49 myself not torturing(折磨) myself. That was the night I   50   that I didn’t need to deal with a course load of disastrous difficulty to   51   my own self – worth.
It was a little too late to   52   things, of course. The AP exams were about to go full – force,   53   were winding down, and most of my clubs and organizations were about to hold their end – of – year parties. Still, I   54 a valuable lesson. No college, one billion dollar endowment (资助) or not, is worth the   55   I went through last year. I wish I’d had someone to tell me sooner that I didn’t have to do everything. Colleges don’t really want overachieving robots, They want people with passion(love). It doesn’t matter whether you’re a policy debater or not, as long as you show that you’re going for the things you love.

As a young man, Al was a skilled artist．He had a wife and two fine sons．One night, his oldest son developed a severe stomachache．Thinking it was only some   36   intestinal （肠内的）disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition very seriously．But the boy   37   suddenly that night．

Ernie sat quietly and _53__ for a few moments．Then he said, "From my earliest _54_ as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, ' I love you, son．' "
Tears came to my eyes as I realized what a fool I had been to __55_ Al as a failure．He had not left any material possessions behind．But he had been a kind loving father, and he left behind one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known．

第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）
Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 31 . It’s not that Ben is unsociable , or a bad cook , but it’s just that he never 32 more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal? Had he bought something 33 for his friends? He greeted us at the door and showed us into his dining room where a 34 table was waiting for us.“Nothing but the 35 for my friends!”said Ben. We all sat down and looked 36 at each other---what did he 37 to?
Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup.“It’s a 38 of carrots , potatoes and tomatoes,”said Ben. The next 39 was also a little strange in that we didn’t quite know what it was again. It’s just 40 mixture of vegetable.
As we ate we chatted and finally the 41 turned back to what we were eating.“Was there a recipe（食谱）for this,” asked Marina ,“or did you 42 it up?”Ben put his fork down. “What I cooked 43 what I could find.”Marina was surprised.“But you can find anything in supermarkets these days.”“But there’s 44 choice in what you can find 45 supermarkets.” He replies.
46 that we had all finished the food , Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually 47 away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of 48 , boxes of throw-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had 49 provided a decent(不错的) meal for his friends , and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food , but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 50 millions of people.

Ted Thomason was considered one of the students who showed the least interest in school. Whenever Miss Daisy talked with him, he would answer with a   41    “yes” or “no”.
