The friendship between us never fades. Mary Allen was my best friend—like a sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding, and so on.
When I was 13, my family moved. Mary and I 36 in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special37 — like my wedding and Mary’s. Soon we were 38 with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less. One day a card that I sent came back, 39 “Address Unknown.” I had no idea how to 40 Mary.
Over the years, I thought of Mary often. I wanted to 41 stories of my children and then grandchildren. I need to share my 42 when my brother and then my mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Mary could 43 .
One day I was reading a newspaper 44 I notice a picture of a young woman who looked a lot like Mary and whose last name was Wagman— Mary’s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, 45 I wrote to her anyway.
She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs. Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Mary Allen Wagman is my mother”. Minutes later I heard a voice that I46 at once, even after 40 years. We laughed and cried and asked about each other’s 47 .
Now the empty place in my heart is filled, and there is one thing that Mary and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn't "normal". Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 36 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder(脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 37 than others. I hated going to school and I hated others 38 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing 39 and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 40 and seeing an ugly hunchback(驼背).
My friends found me 41 because I didn't let other get close to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school—a spot where no one would 43 me. That's when I first heard your voice. "Hi. Can I sit down?"
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face. "What are you looking at?" you asked. "Ants." "What are they doing?" "No 44 ." "I bet they're playing games and make friends. Don't you think so?" That was how our 45 started and it didn't stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my little niche(处境)—until it was sunset. Then suddenly, you saw my 46 . She just stared. My heart 47 . What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 48 me now. She stood up, pointed at my back and said, "I know 49your back is hunched." I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be 50 . I begged in my heart for her to 51 , but she just kept on going. "I know what you've got there. Do you?" "No," I answered 52 . She bent and whispered in my ears. "Your back is bunched because you've got a pair of wings from the angels."I was 53 . I looked into her eyes and her 54 touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 55 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind_hearted friend.

The Price of a Dream
I grew up poor, living with my wonderful mother.We had little money but plenty of love and attention. I was 36 and energetic.I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still 37a dream.
My dream was to be a sportsman. 38 I was sixteen, I had started playing baseball. I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour fastball and hit anything that moved on the football field. I was also 39 . My high-school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who not only believed in me, but taught me 40 to believe in myself.He 41 me the difference between having a dream and realizing the dream.One particular 42 with Coach Jarvis changed my life forever.
It was the summer between my junior and senior years, and a friend recommended (推荐) me for a summer job.This meant a chance for money in my pocket—money for a new bike and new clothes, and the 43 of savings for a house for my mother.Then I realized I would have to 44 summer baseball to deal with the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 45 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your playing days are limited.You can’t 46 to waste them.” I stood before him with my head hanging, trying to think of the 47 that would explain 48 him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 49in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job, son?” he asked. “Three twenty-five an hour,” I replied.
“Well,” he asked, “is $3.25 an hour the 50 of a dream?”
That simple question made it 51 to me the difference between 52 something right now and following a dream.I 53 myself to sports that summer, and within the year I was 54 by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and was 55a $20,000 contract.In 2000, I bought my mother the house of my dream!

My First Trip in the United States
I still remember my first day in the U. S. very clearly. My friend was waiting for me when my plane 36 at Kennedy Airport at three o’clock in the afternoon. The weather was very 37 and it was snowing, but I was too excited to 38 . From the airport, my friend and I took a taxi to my 39 .On the way, I saw the skyline of Manhattan for the 40 time and I looked in surprise at the famous skyscrapers（摩天大楼） and their man-made 41 . 42 me unpack at the hotel, my friend left and promised to return the next day.
43 my friend had left, I went to a 44 near the hotel to get something 45 . Since I couldn’t speak a single word of English, I couldn’t tell the 46 what I wanted. I was very worried and started to make some 47 ,but he didn’t understand me. Finally, I ordered the 48 thing as the man at the next table was 49 . After dinner, I started to walk along Broadway 50 I came to Times Square with its theatres, neon lights, and crowds of people. I did not feel tired, so I 51 to walk around the city. I wanted to see 52 on my first day, although I knew it was impossible.
When I returned to the hotel, I couldn’t fall asleep, lay 53 and thought about New York. It was a very big and amazing city with many high-rise buildings and streams of cars, and full of 54 and busy people. I also decided right then that I had to learn to 55 .

Roberta appeared on the stage. She took a deep breath and began to 36 . Now she was Portia, a strong–willed 37 in Shakespeare’s The Merchant of Venice. The theater was filled with people. She was speaking with a power she had never before experienced, the words flowing 38 form her.
39 , Roberta had never acted in her life before the audition (选拔试演). She 40 being in front of other people. She was very 41 at school. She had never thought she was good enough at anything to 42 much attention. She stayed mostly to herself, making 43 friends. She had excellent grades, 44 she always thought that something was missing.
Two weeks before the audition, Roberta’s mother had heard about it and 45 her to join in.
“I can’t think of anyone else better suited to 46 the part. Remember all the plays you used to act out for us?”
Her mother wouldn’t let the 47 drop. “You’re just a little scared (害怕) .Everyone gets scared. You know you 48 do it. The trick is to look past the 49 to find the love of what you’re doing.’’
So Roberta had made an appointment (预约) with the head of the Drama Club. She had read the play and found herself excited by the 50 of speaking such rich words. In secret she practiced Portia’s part, 51 the lines by repeating them over and over. It wasn’t hard; she 52 every minute of it. Every time she spoke the words, she had a new 53 of the lines, as if Shakespeare had written Portia on many levels.
On the day of the audition, she 54 two of Portia’s famous speeches for the auditors. When she had finished, the head of the Drama Club announced the 55 was hers.

I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.
Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone’s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy. Which of the following is true?
| A．The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone. |
| B．The writer wasn’t surprised when the man gave her a reward. |
| C．Nothing in the wallet was missing. |
| D．The man was very, very excited when he got his wallet back. |
The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______.
| A．she thought Christmas was coming |
| B．the owner came back too soon |
| C．she didn’t know there was so much money in it |
| D．as an honest person, she didn’t care much about money |
Which of the following is NOT true?
| A．The writer accepted a reward of $ 20. |
| B．The writer regretted (后悔) that she had returned the wallet. |
| C．The writer didn’t return the wallet until the owner came back. |
| D．The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet. |

A school teacher decided to let her class play a game. The teacher told each child in the class to bring along a plastic bag containing a few 16 . Each tomato will be given a name of a person that the child 17 , so the number of tomatoes that a child will put in the plastic bag will depend on the number of people the child hates.
So when the day came, every 18 brought some tomatoes. Some had two; some three while some up to five tomatoes. The teacher then told the children to 19 with them the tomatoes in the plastic 20 wherever they go.
Days after days passed by, and the children started to complain due to the 21 smell let out by the rotten tomatoes. Besides, those having more tomatoes had to carry 22 bags. After 1 week, the children were relieved because the game had finally ended.
The teacher asked: “How did you 23 while carrying the tomatoes with you for 1 24 ?”
The children let out their frustrations and started 25 of the trouble that they had to go through having to carry the heavy and 26 tomatoes wherever they go.
Then the teacher told them the hidden meaning behind the 27 .
“This is exactly the 28 when you carry your hatred(憎恨) for somebody inside your heart. The unpleasant smell of hatred will pollute your 29 and you will carry it with you wherever you go. If you cannot tolerate the smell of rotten tomatoes for just 1 week, can you imagine what is it like to have the smell of hatred in your heart for your lifetime?”

People often say that the Englishman’s home is his castle. In this sense they mean that the home is very important and 21 . Most people in Britain live in houses 22 flats, and many people own their homes. This means that they can make them individual(个人的); they can23 them and change them in any way they 24 . In a crowded city the individual knows that he or she has a private spacewhich is 25 for himself or herself and for invited friends.
People usually like to 26 their space. Are you sitting now in your home or in a beach or a train? If you are on the beach you may have spread your27 around you; on the train you may have28 your coat or small bag on the seat beside you; in a library you may have one corner or chair which is your own.
Once I was traveling on a 29 to London. I was in a section for four people and there was a table between us. The man on the opposite side to me had his briefcase on the table. There was no 30 on my side of the table at all. I was made rather 31 . I thought he thought that he owned the 32 table. I took various papers out of my bag and put them on 33 ! When I did this he stiffened and his eyes nearly popped out of his head. I had 34 his space ! A few minutes later I took my papers off his case in order to read them. He 35 moved his case to his side of the table. ( Of course , it is possible that he just wanted to be helpful to me !

A man and his family were in Europe. Once they needed to drive 3 days 36, day and night, to get to Germany. His little daughter had never 37 at night without a break before. She was 38 the first night in the car, with terrible deep darkness outside.
“Where are we going, Daddy?” asked the daughter. “To your uncle’s house in Germany.” Father answered.
“Have you been to his 39 before?” “No.”
“Then, do you know the 40 ?” “Maybe, we can read the map.”
Short pause. “Do you know how to read the map?” “Yes, we will get there 41 . Don’t worry.”
The same dialogue 42a few times within the first night, and also the second night. 43 on the third night, his daughter was quiet. Father thought that she might have fallen 44 , but when he looked into the mirror, he saw that she was awake and was just 45 calmly. He couldn’t help wondering 46 she was not asking the questions anymore.
“Dear, do you know where we are going?” “Germany, uncle’s house.”
“ Do you know how we are getting there?” “No.”
“ Then why aren’t you asking anymore?” “Because Daddy is 47 .”
Because Daddy is driving. This answer from a 3 years old girl has then become the 48 and help this man for many years whenever he has questions and
49 on his journey. We may 50 the destination and sometimes we may just know it 51 the little girl-“Germany”, without understanding where or what it 52 is. We do not know the way. We do not know how to read the map. We do not know if we can find 53 along the way to eat in. But the little girl knows the most 54 thing-Daddy is driving-and so she is safe and secure. She knows that her Daddy will 55 all that she needs.

I always think my spoken English is so poor that I can’t communicate with
native English speakers well. So after going to the college, I take as 36 English lessons as I can. 37 I am free, I go to English corners and 38 English lessons and lectures. To my surprise, I can understand most of 39 of the professors who come from Canada, and the USA. However, I haven’t had more 40 to talk to them in English.
Although I 41 English articles out aloud every day, I am not sure if I can make myself 42 by native English speakers. How I hope I can talk to 43 English speakers for a while. I went to the English 44 as usual last night. Surprisingly, there were three foreigners sitting there. There , however, were several Chinese students around them, too. “I must not 45 this chance,” I said to myself.
“Hi, nice to meet you.” I 46 to one of them.
“Nice to meet you too.” He put out his hand. We 47 hands, what a warm hand! Then I 48 myself to him. When I told him that I had 49 English by myself for three years, he said that it was 50 and my English was so good. His words gave me a lot of51 . At that time he hadn’t had dinner. He asked us if it was rude or52 to talk to us while he was eating (a) 53 . We, said we didn’t54 that, only
if he was 55 to talk to us. He smiled and began to eat his supper.

Miss Lovely began to work in our office last year. She thought she was 36 and hardly talked with us . Her house was a little far from our company and she had to go to work 37 every day.
Of course, she had to spend a lot of 38 on this, She decided to have her own car, and began to 39 how to drive two months ago .
