“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.

“Are you too stupid to do anything right?” These words — said by a woman to a little boy who was obviously her son — were spoken 26 he had walked away from her. The boy returned, his eyes downcast.
Not a 27 moment, perhaps, 28 small moments last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean 29 at the time to the people who say them — can have great 30 .
I recently heard a story from a man named Malcolm Dalkoff. For the last 24 years he has been a professional 31 . Here is what he told me:
As a boy in Rock Island, Dalkoff was terribly 32 . He had few 33 and no self-confidence. One day, his English teacher, Ruth Brach, gave the class an assignment . The students had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Now they were to write their own chapter that would 34 the last chapter of the novel.
Dalkoff wrote his chapter and turned it 35 . Today he can not recall anything 36 about the chapter he wrote, or what 37 Mrs Brach gave him. What he does remember is the four words Mrs Brach wrote in margin(空白)of the paper: “This is 38 writing.”
Four words. They 39 his life.
“ 40 I read those words, I had no ideal of who I was or 41 I was going to be,” he said. “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always been 42 of doing but never believed I could do.”
Over the rest of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to school for Mrs Brach to evaluate. She was 43 , tough and honest. “She was just what I 44 ,” Dalkoff said.
His confidence 45 . Dalkoff believed that none of this would have happened if that woman had not written those four words in the margin of the paper.

Attracting People to You
In West Virginia folklore there is a story of a country doctor. He was 36 late one night to assist a woman who was about to give birth. By the time the doctor arrived at the farmhouse, things had 37 to a point where the doctor asked the husband to help him by holding a gas lantern up high in order to 38 the room.
Before long, the 39 mother delivered a healthy baby boy. As the father 40 the lantern, the doctor shouted an 41 to keep the lantern high: “We’re not done yet.” 42 , a second child appeared on the 43 , a healthy baby girl.

You may not always see it, 55 your light is shining through. And it’s one of your most attractive qualities!

Not long ago, the only time you could see a robot was when you were reading a novel or watching a movie such as Star Wars. Today, 36 a lot of things in science stories have been science facts. Robots are starting to _37_ in our everyday lives. These robots have different sizes, shapes and colors. But they all have the same _38_ of man-made “_39_”. Leading the robot revolution(革命) are industrial robots that work in factories. Industrial robots can do different kinds of jobs that are often _40_ and sometimes dangerous. Robots are also coming to American homes, though not as quickly asthey are entering _41_. These robots aren’t as friendly and _42_ as those you saw in Star Wars. But, their makers say, today’s home robots “walk” and sense objects in their own way. They even _43_ objects though they may sometimes drop. Well, nobody is _44_.
We may _45_ home robots today, but some day they may see and hear _46_ than humans do. We _47_
can only see certain wave lengths of light and hear certain _48_. That’s because the _49_ of our eyes and ears are _50_.
Robots, however, need not have the same limits _51_ we have. Robots may also be _52_ wit devices(装置) that _53_ information humans can’t. However, to understand _54_ their sensing devices pick up is a hard job.
Remember, man-made brains _55_ information, including all kinds of data, as zeroes and ones.
Imagine the difficulty in trying to explain to a robot what a football looks like---using only zeroes and ones.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process.The instructor asked us to list 36 in our past that we felt 37 of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very 38 process, but there' s always some 39 soul in the crowd who will volunteer.The instructor then 40 that we find ways to 41 people, or take some action to right any wrong doings.I was seriously wondering how this could ever 42 my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town.There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked.One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 45 on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生).The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious 46 .Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office.My friends told the truth but I 47 .No one ever found out.
Nearly 20 years later.Sheriff Brown's name 48 on my list.I didn't even know if he was still 49 .Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few 50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused."Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins."
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused.“I knew it!” he yelled back.We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion.His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years.I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to 54 all the items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It's never too late to 55 the past wrongdoings.

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
To advertise effectively today, you must abandon the old-school idea of “reaching the masses”. All advertising is local and personal. The key to effective advertising today is to focus on the 50 .
Some are the 51 ways every advertiser could work out. You can print a specific offer of your goods or service on door-hangers and place them on doorknobs in your area. Door-hangers on doorknobs will produce results in direct 52 about the strength of your offer. If you need to reach the drivers, flyer (宣传单) under windshield (挡风玻璃) wipers may have better effect than door-hangers. Imagine, how 53 if you hire someone to be a walking ad or launch a T-shirt advertising, 54 , you can print your products on T-shirts of your 55 . In the early 1970s “Hamp Baker says Drive with Care” was spray-painted on cars, which was a public service ad. Ever since, spray-painted sign has become more and more 56 .
More grand ways are as follows: virtual showroom. Build a website to 57 a virtual showroom. Use it when people call to ask 58 about your company, your products or your services. Also you can even use an old slide projector to put on a nighttime show. They’re 59 effective, and in the long run, cheap. Nothing is quite as powerful as a public 60 that seizes the public’s attention. You can invite a band to give a performance.
61 , you can hire famous models to show it vividly.
Nothing screams “expert” quite as loudly as a book written about a subject. You simply can’t 62 the power of your name on the cover of a book. You might only sell a few copies online, but the copies you give away in your town will make you a fortune. You won’t make money on the book. You’ll make it because of the book.
Of course, word-of-mouth is the best way to promote your 63 . Friends and past customers recommend your products to their family, friends and colleagues. Word-of-mouth works because the 64 is based on previous positive experiences.
50. A. content B. product C. individual D. style
51. A. strange B. common C. amusing D. perfect
52. A. description B. decision C. discussion D. permission
53. A. stupid B. funny C. impressive D. ridiculous
54. A. that is B. first of all C. as a result D. generally speaking
55. A. customers B. employers C. consumers D. employees
56. A. expensive B. valueless C. popular D. meaningless
57. A. refer to B. serve as C. stand for D. keep off
58. A. location B. business-hours C. salary D. details
