It was no wonder I was not looking forward to entering ninth grade. High school is well-known for being a battleground, where everyone seems to be 36 through physical changes, emotional mood swings, and low self-respect. For me, 37 was my punishment.
I had always felt insecure and out of 38 as one of the 39 members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and bending at the 40 of the line to avoid sticking 41 .
I especially hate being around large groups of people, like during the social hour after services at my church. 42 the prayers were finished, I would leave as quickly as possible so I could 43 other well-meaning congratulations, "Ruthie! Look how tall you' re getting!"
My grandfather would watch me 44 increasingly uncomfortable, but he did not 45 at my self--consciousness or try to comfort me. 46 , he would remind me. "Stand straight and tall," he would say, as I unsuccessfully tried to shrink (使缩小) myself. Moreover, each time, I would embarrassedly obey. Even at age 15, I understood that his advice was about 47 than just feet and inches.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers 48 his hometown, he wound up joining the Soviet army to fight 49 his country's freedom. "Stand straight, stand tall," meant something else back then.
_50 the war, he boarded a boat for 51 , and on January 27, 1947, he stepped onto the dock in Manhattan. He was hungry and 52 from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was 53 about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met 54 European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith 55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.

People do not analyze every problem they meet.Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 36 problem.They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people.Other times they begin to act without thinking; they try to find a solution by trial and error. 37 , when all of these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing.There are six 38 in analyzing a problem.
First the person must recognize that there is a problem.For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does.Sam must 39 that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 40 the problem.Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work.For example, he must 41 the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 42 that will make the problem clearer and lead to 43 solutions.For example, suppose Sam decides that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the brakes. 44 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 45 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After 46 the problem, the person should have 47 suggestions for a possible solution.Take Sam as an example 48 , his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 49 seems to be the solution to the problem.Sometimes the 50 idea comes quite 51 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 52 way.Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum(口香糖)stuck to a brake.He 53 hits on the solution to his problem: he must 54 the brake.
Finally the solution is 55 .Sam does it and finds his bicycle works perfectly.In short, he has solved the problem.
A.usual B.serious C.similar D.common
A.Instead B.Besides C.Otherwise D.However
A.conditions B.ways C.stages D.orders
A.prove B.explain C.show D.see
A.find B.judge C.describe D.face
A.determine B.check C.correct D.recover
A.skills B.answers C.explanation D.information

When I was little, my family used to move frequently. Before I could even get acquainted with my schoolmates, my family was on the move again. I became very 36 because of this.
But a girl with dark skin and ling shiny hair changed me. Here best characteristics are her openness and 37 . She is always smiling, like a beautiful sunflower following the sun. without doubt I enjoyed being with her and soon we became good friends. As time went by, I 38 became a happy girl. But this joyful period didn’t last long. We were admitted to different colleges. I felt like I had gone back to my always-on-the-move childhood. I felt 39 and helpless and I was afraid that I would 40 her as my best friend. She stayed calm and said to me :“Rain, you can achiever more than I do, so 1 to your dreams and make a big effort! Real friendship doesn’t fade and we will be best friends forever.” Maybe she didn’t realize what a great 42 she was to me at that time.
However, it turned out that my concerns were well-founded(有根据的). I felt that the 43 between us was getting bigger and bigger. One day, she sent me a text message happily telling me that she had fallen in love with a handsome boy in her class.
I felt happy for her, but at the same time I was secretly worried about our friendship. I 44 her several times intending to tell her to think easefully about her relationship with the boy, but I got no more messages from her. I felt sad that perhaps our friendship would not 45 . I had almost given up hope until she visited me at my campus a week later. She looked 46 but was wearing the most beautiful smile. She gave me a big hug and said: “I’m sorry. I want to be myself and your friend forever!” We cried together, ignoring the people walking past. She told me her sad story, and we knew we had gone back to how it was before.
Now I firmly believer that distance and time can’t 47 you from a friend. If you care enough about each other, friendship never fades.
