Soon it would be the holidays, but before that, there were year exams. All the 36 had been working hard for some time, reviewing their lessons for the exams. If they didn’t 37 , they would have to retake them in September. There were usually a few who 38 , but Jane didn’t want to be one of them. She had worked hard all year, 39 just before the exams she was working so hard that her sister Barbara was 40 about her. She went to bed too 41 . The night before the first exam, Barbara 42 that she have an early night and take a 43 pill. She promised to wake 44 up in the morning.
As she was falling asleep, Jane was afraid that she might oversleep. Her 45 kept jumping from subject to subject. At last, with the help of46 , she went to sleep. In no time at all, she was sitting in the examination hall, looking at the examination 47 , but she couldn’t answer any of the questions. 48 around her was writing pages and gages. 49 she thought hard, she couldn’t find anything to write 50 . She kept looking at her 51 . Time was running out. There was only an hour to go. She started one question, wrote two sentences, 52 and tried another one. With only half an hour left she wrote another two sentences. By this time she was so worried that she started 53 . Her whole body shook. It shook so much that she 54 up. She was still in bed and it had all been a 55 dream. A minute later, Barbara called her name.

James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully __1__ the coins that lay on the bed.
$24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! __2__ on earth was he going to get the __3__ of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was __4__ to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no __5__ asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to __6__.
There was only one way to get the money, and that was to __7__ it. He would have to find a job. __8__ who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had __9__ on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the __10__ of James’s odd-job business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the __11__ of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the __12__ of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the __13__ increased and he knew that he would soon have __14__ for the bicycle he longed for.
The day __15__ came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He __16__ no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode __17__ home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard __18__ for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more __19__ he had bought it with his own money. He had __20__ what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even than the bicycle.

I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, her doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was __16__, below the elbow(肘部). Then he gave her some __17__:“Don’t treat her any __18__ from the other girls. Demand more.” And she __19__!

There was always a __25__ , and Mom knew it, “If you try hard __26__,” she ‘d say, “you can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars(高低杠). When it was my turn, I __27__ my head. Some kids __28__ . I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom __29__ me back to the school ground. “ Now, __30__ up with your right arm”, she advised. She stood by __31__ I practiced, and she __32__ me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the __33__ time I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I __34__ I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile again. She had the heart to __35__ anything. And she taught me I could, too.

It was my first year teaching in a special needs class, and I wasn’t sure what to expect at our yearly. Special Olympics sports meeting. My 1 had some challenges, from learning disabilities to cerebral palsy(大脑性麻痹).
Mark was one with the latter. Restricted to a 2 , he had to fight his spasms (抽筋) just to control his movements. 3 , he always had a positive attitude and greeted everyone with a huge smile.
His classmates 4 him and always took the time to make sure he was included in group activities, especially Mike, Andy and Lucas, three boys who were good at 5 . Obviously, Mark wanted to be like them, unrestricted by the limitation of his 6 and watching them moving on the playing field seemed to fill him with 7 .
When the day came, Mike, Andy and Lucas 8 well in their sports events, and gave the normally calm audience something to cheer about. Mark sat in his wheelchair on the sidelines,9 them on.
The final event of the day was the 400 meter race. 10 was invited to either walk or run, according to their ability, around the 11 length of the track.
When Mike, Andy and Lucas reached the finish line, they 12 and turned to look behind them. At the 13 of the crowd, determined not to be left behind, was Mark. All his classmates had 14 him. He was alone on the track with over half the distance left to 15 .
Mike, Andy and Lucas looked at each other, and a silent 16 passed between them. Slowly, they jogged 17 towards their friend, cheering him on 18 he had done for them moments before.
The progress was 19 , but in the end the three star runners and Mark crossed the finish line together to the enthusiastic cries of their teachers and classmates. Seeing the look on Mark’s face as he crossed the finish line, hands upraised and laughing, I came to understand what 20 the Special Olympics, and the determined athletes who compete, so extraordinary.
Years later, I’m still cheering them on.

In front of the big Shibuya train station in Tokyo, there is a life-size bronze (青铜) statue of a dog. Even though the statue is very small when compared to the huge neon (霓虹灯) signs flashing, it isn’t 21 to find. It has been used as 22 since 1934 and today you will find hundreds of people waiting there for their friends to 23 —just look for the crowds(人群).
Hachiko, an Akita dog, was born in 1923 and brought to Tokyo in 1924. His owner, Professor Eisaburo Uyeno and he were close friends that cannot be 24 right from the start. Each day Hachiko would go with his owner, a professor at the Imperial University, to Shibuya train station when he left for work. When he came back, the professor would always find the dog 25 waiting for him. 26 , the professor died suddenly at work in 1925 before he could return home.
27 Hachiko was still a young dog, the bond between him and his owner was very strong and he 28 to wait at the station every day. Sometimes, he would stay there for days at a time, though some believe that he kept returning because of the food he was given by street vendors. Over time he became a 29 sight to people going to and from work every day. In 1934, a statue of him was put 30 the station. In 1935, Hachiko died at the place he last saw his friend alive.

Filled with sorrow, I didn’t notice the hardness of the chair I was sitting on. I was at the funeral of my21 . The sadness was so great that I found it hard to 22_ at times.
Suddenly, I heard a 23 open and shut at the back of the church. Quick 24 hurried along the floor. A young man looked around in a25 and then sat next to me. His eyes were full of tears.
“I’m 26 ,” he explained, though no explanation was 27 . After several eulogies (悼文), he leaned over and commented, “ Why do they keep 28 Mary by the name of ‘Margaret’?” “Because that was her name, Margaret. Never Mary,” I29 . “No, that isn’t correct,” he insisted. “Her name is Mary, Mary Peters.” “That isn’t 30 this is,” I replied. “Isn’t this the Lutheran church?” “No, the Lutheran church is across the street. I believe you’re at the31 funeral, sir.”
The solemnness (庄严) of the occasion 32 with the realization of the man’s mistake amused me and I could not help 33 . I looked at the man seated beside me. He was laughing,34 . I imagined Mother laughing. At the35 “Amen”, we ran out of the door and into the parking lot.
“I do believe we’ll be the 36 of the town,” he smiled. He said his name was Rick and that 37 he had missed his aunt’s funeral, he asked me out for a cup of coffee. That afternoon began a lifelong 38 for me with this man who attended the wrong funeral. A year after our meeting, we were39 at a country church. This time we both arrived at the same church, right on time.
Whenever anyone asks us how we 40 , Rick tells them, “Her mother and my aunt Mary introduced us.”

Sometimes, people are required to fill in personal information when they register online, which may lead to some unexpected trouble. Recently, the BBC is reporting that a 17-year-old girl in Australia posted a(n) 36 of her grandmother at home counting a large sum of cash that she 37 hidden in the house. Just eight hours later, two armed men38 the girl’s house. They demanded to speak to her to find out where the grandmother’s house was, 39 they could get the money they had seen. 40 , the girl was not home at the time, so the robbers 41a small amount of cash from the mother and left.
Because the42 is still under investigation, local police aren’t saying 43 else about it. It’s not known yet whether the girl had used privacy setting on the Facebook profile page, and even whether the robbers 44 the girl in the past.
Two other 45 were at home then, a 58-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy, the girl’s father and brother. Luckily, no one was 46 . The robbers left peacefully after 47 that the girl was not home and that no one else there knew anything about the48 that had appeared in the photo.
Police in both Britain and Australia are using the case to 49 citizens of the dangers of posting personal information on social networks and to suggest users of websites50 doing so. The police say it is51 that the girl posted a comment in the past that gave clues to the address, 52 that the robbers knew the girl in another way. 53 , they suggest, a posting by a friend on their site could have 54 such information. To find it, the robbers would only have had to search for those posting on other pages that 55 the girl’s name.

A gentle wind blew through Jennifer’s hair. The golden red sun was 36 . She was on the beach, looking up at the ball. She was amazed by its 37 , deep red in the middle,38 fading into yellow. She could hear nothing but the 39 and the seagulls flying up above in the sky.
The atmosphere 40 her. After all she had been through, this is what she41 . “It’s getting late,”she thought,“I must go home, my parents will be42 where I am.”She wondered how her parents would react, when she got home after the three days she was 43 .

I live in a big city. It’s noisy and dirty and I got very 36 .At the weekends I like to leave the city and get some 37 air and a good rest. A few weeks ago I decided to go to see my 38 . I was really looking forward to it.
My parents live a long way 39 . I went to see them with James, a friend, and we drove on Friday night. In the middle of the 40 it began to rain. The road became very 41 and it was difficult to drive. We arrived home just after midnight, feeling very 42 . The next 43 it was still raining. James took his 44 to a garage which was very good.
In the afternoon the 45 improved, we wanted to go for a 46 . My parents lent us their car. That was no good. Their car didn’t 47 . We rang up the garage. “Oh,” They said, “Your car 48 be ready till tomorrow.” So it wasn’t 49 to go for a drive. We decided to play a word game. When we didn’t agree 50 a word we looked for a dictionary. It wasn’t there. 51 my mother remembered, “I lent it to your sister.
