“Imagine you are walking along the road. Suddenly you fall over and all the passers-by burst into laughter. You feel very 36 and think the world is laughing at you . But in fact, five minutes later, they have 37 it ever happened.” The other day when I came across these words in an article, I didn’t agree with the 38 .
The author thinks the best thing to do in this kind of 39 is to pretend nothing has happened, and so avoid 40 trouble.
I admit that we should keep 41 because “Your tears will only remind others of what happened, while your 42 can let them forget it.” But this is far from satisfactory. We should do 43 to make things better.
I used to be a(n) 44 girl and not very good at maths. Our new maths teacher asked me a question and I still remember how I hung my head in 45 when I couldn’t answer it.
“If you don’t know the answer, just tell me.” the teacher said, “If you don’t how can I know 46 you know the answer or not?” All of my classmates burst into laughter. My face turned red but the teacher 47 me to go to the blackboard and 48 what I knew. If I had 49 the words in the article, I would have given up. But I tried my best. And to everyone’s 50 , I succeeded! The teacher smiled and said, “Well done! I 51 you could do it!”
Since then, I have become active in maths as 52 as in other subjects. I used to think doing maths exercises was a waste of time. But now, I know 53 I do can make things better. Everyone is the 54 of his own fate.
If we make mistakes, we should take on an active 55 . Laugh, and the world laughs with you; weep(哭泣), and you weep alone.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at B. in C. on D. for
37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as

40. A. waiting B. standing C. lying D. nearing
41. A. Let B. Take C. Have D. Get
42. A. valued B. avoided C. feared D. enjoyed
43. A. made B. applied C. included D. developed
44. A. condition B. state C. occasion D. situation
45. A. retell B. review C. revise D. remind
46. A. if B. why C. how D. when
47. A. evening B. day C. morning D. afternoon
48. A. flat B. bed C. house D. apartment
49. A. means B. approach C. method D. way
50. A. peace B. trouble C. sorrow D. excitement
51. A. driving B. reviewing C. sleeping D. lying
52. A. expect B. accept C. respect D. inspect

Here are some of the most common reasons why kids hate school—and strategies（对策） to put them back on the road to success.
One fear that keeps children from enjoying school is separation 36 . It most frequently occurs during times of family stress or 37 a child is about to enter a new school. 38 , parents can feed a child’s anxieties by the way they 39 . With younger kids, watch how you say 40 those first few days of school. A firm “Have a great day, and I’ll 41 you up at 2:30!” is more confidence-inspiring than “Don’t worry, I can be there in ten 42 if you need me.”
You can help your child 43 fearful situations—from speaking up in class to taking tests—by rehearsing（预演）at home. Teach your child to 44 thoughts such as “I’m going to give up” with “I can handle this.”
Without any 45 , some kids dislike school .This may be the 46 if your child is always alone, pretends 47 to avoid class outings or give away treasured possessions in an attempt to be 48 .
Often loneliness problems can be solved. A child may need to learn how to 49 others in the eye when he speaks, or how to talk 50 a whisper—or below
a yell. You might teach a young child a few “friendship 51 ”, such as “My name’s Tom. What’s yours? Do you want to play games?”
“A lot of kids who are very lonely have never been told anything 52 about themselves,” says Miami 53 Matty Rodriguez-Walling. “If a lonely kid is 54 some area—computers, for example—I’ll often have other students work with him. That does 55 for self-respect and helps the lonely child make friends.”
36. A. anxiety B. excitement C. anger D. relief
37. A. while B. sin
ce C. when D. as
38. A. Unfortunately B. Happily C. Luckily D. Simply
39. A. teach B. smile C. learn D. respond
40. A. hello B. sorry C. good-bye D. thanks
41. A. call B. pick C. bring D. put
42. A. hours B. days C. minutes D. seconds
43. A. watch B. control C. express D. handle
44. A. connect B. fill C. supply D. replace
45. A. friends B. classmates C. teachers D. parents
46. A. condition B. case C. example D. matter
47. A. violence B. sadness C. illness D. independence
48. A. taught B. refused C. hated D. 
liked
49. A. watch B. look C. examine D. observe
50. A. at B. above C. to D. over
51. A. openers B. conclusions C. thoughts D. opinions
