There are many different ways of seeing a town for the first time. One of them is to walk around it, guide-book 36 hand. Of course, we may 37 with our guide-books the history and 38 developments of a town and get to know them. 39 then, if we take out time and 40 in a town for a while, we may get to know it better. When we 41 it as a whole, we begin to have some 42 ,which even the best guide-books do not answer. Why is the town just 43 this, this shape, this plan, this size? Why do its streets 44 in this particular way, and not in any 45 way?
Here even the best guide-book 46 us. One can’t find in it the information about how a town has developed to the 47 appearance. It may not describe the original (最初的) 48 of a town. However, one may get some idea of what it 49 look like by walking around the town. One can also imagine 50 the town was first planned and built . Then one can learn more about in what direction the town 51 to develop.
What is the 52 of studying towns in the way? For me, it is 53 that one gets a greater depth of pleasure by visiting and seeing a town with one’s own eyes. A 54 visit to a town may help one better understand why it is attractive 55 just reading about it in a guide-book.

At the edge of a forest, stood a big tree. Its branches spread out majestically (庄严地) and so did its roots. It people from the sun under its shady leaves, and provided to countless birds and other small creatures in its branches. It was very excited with activity all the time.
At the foot of the tree grew a little plant. The plant was tall, thin, graceful and easily , and tended to fall over at the of the slightest wind.
One day, the two neighbours were having a little chat.
“ Well, little one, ” said the tree to the plant, “ Why do you not plant your feet deeply in the ground, and raise your head in the air as I do?”
“ I see no need to do so,” the plant with a smile. “ , I think I may be safer this way.”
“ Safer!” sneered (讥讽) the tree. “ Are you that you’re safer than I am? Do you know how deep my roots are , how thick and strong my trunk is? two men hold hands they would not be able to surround my trunk. Who could possibly pull me out by the roots or my head to the ground?”
And the tree turned away from the plant in .
But the tree was to its words very soon. One evening a great hurricane in the region. It threw the trees off their roots and almost completely destroyed the forest. It uprooted the tree and it away with great force.
When the storm had passed, the villagers living nearby the damage. Strong trees that had once almost touched the sky, were now reduced to stumps (残根)or . The dead animals were found everywhere in the .
But there was one . The little plant. The plant had been moved from side to side under the hurricane, and bent completely. But when the hurricane ended, it sighed and stood upright again.
No trace remained of its powerful neighbour .

Dear Benter,
You have been away exactly two weeks today but it seems more like two years to me!
I’m glad to hear you’ll be back soon. Are you coming directly home, dear? Or do you plan to make some stops 36 the way? I hope you’ll be home in 37 for Patsy’s birthday next Sunday. She is 38 you to show films to her 39 friends.
Patsy keeps asking every day 40 you’ll be back. She says you never 41 that story you were telling her about 42 train that lost its “ toot”(喇叭嘟嘟声). You’d better 43 and think up a good ending 44 it. You know how Patsy is? She 45 be happy until she knows exactly what __46 to the “toot” and 47 the little train got it back 48 !
Everything at home is fine except that we 49 you so much! I’ve been 50 with the spring cleaning. Yesterday I had Cora 51 in to wash the kitchen walls and she did a very good __52 of it. The kitchen looks as though it’s been repainted. I made some new yellow curtains, and they 53 very beautiful.
I went to see your mother yesterday. Her 54 is all gone and she looks very 55 . Your sister Jean looks wonderful! She has taken off about fifteen pounds since she began dieting. But now she’s complaining that none of her clothes fit!
Hope to see you before next Sunday.
Love and kisses to you!

Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you 46 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so 47 with me. This has made me 48 very carefully about myself, and now I 49 how silly I have been.
My poor 50 have come from my own 51 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud 52 me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my 53 on the subject and I stop 54 the teacher. So many other things seem so much more 55 , but I know that I must not 56 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 57 the next few months, I am going to get 58 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything 59 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I 60 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise, 61 _ I will control the time I 62 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is 63 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me 64 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to 65 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

Dear Kate,
I’m very 36 that you are coming to our school so soon. 37 you arrive, let me introduce 38 you what our school life is like.
Our school is quite famous 39 its long history. It was 40 in the early 1920s. It is a good place 41 we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to 42 help. 43 we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons, 44 high scores is not the only reason to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions. 45 their help we have developed all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to 46 any school clubs they are 47 in. We can also choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I selected American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose to attend music classes because my father bought me a piano 48 a birthday present.
49 , I was elected monitor of my class, 50 it can be 51 to be a monitor, 52 I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings. 53 , being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was 54 than ever before. So being a monitor plays an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.
I love my school and hope that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to 55 you soon.

What is intelligence anyway? When I was in the army I 21 an intelligence test that all soldiers took, and, against 22 of 100, scored 160.No one at the base had ever seen a figure like that, and for two hours they made a big fuss over me.
All my life I've been registering scores like that, 23 I have the complacent(洋洋自得的) feeling that I'm highly intelligent, and I expect other people to think so too. Actually, though, don't such scores simply mean that I am very good at answering the type of academic questions that are considered worthy of answers by people who 24 the intelligence tests - people with intellectual bents(天分) similar to mine?
For instance, I once had an auto-repair man, who, on these intelligence tests, could not 25 have scored more than 80,by my estimate. Yet, when anything went wrong with my car I hurried to him—and he always fixed it.
Well,then,suppose my auto—repair man 26 questions for some intelligence tests.By doing every one of them I'd prove myself a 27 .In a world where I have to work with my 28 ,I'd do poorly.
Consider my auto—repair man 29 .He had a habit of telling 30 .One time he said. “Doc, a deaf and dumb man 31 some nails.Having entered a store,he put two fingers together on the counter and made 32 movements with the other hand.The clerk brought him a hammer.He 33 his head and pointed to the two fingers he was hammering.The clerk 34 him some nails.He picked out the right size and left.Well,Doc,the 35 man who came in was blind.He wanted scissors. 36 do you suppose he asked for them?" I lifted my right hand and made scissoring movements with my first two fingers.He burst out laughing and said,“Why, you fool,he used his 37 and asked for them.” Then he said smugly, "I've been 38 that on all my customers today." "Did you catch many?" I asked. "Quite a few," he said, "but I knew 39 I'd catch you." "Why is that?" I asked. "Because you're so goddamned educated, Doc, I knew you couldn't be very 40 ." And I have an uneasy feeling that he had something there.
