I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist(社会学家) proposed that the 36 society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I 37 hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood. 38 the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you 39 have done. Life has become hopelessly 40 . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you 41 things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I 42 at the other end of the town. I was 43 that this simple vehicle could let me 44 long distances in a fairly short time. But how 45 did I really go?
Since I hated to be 46 , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to 47 an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but 48 , “An odometer without a speedometer (速度计) is like a 49 without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (装置) were 50 to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many 51 .” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can’t leave the back part 52 ,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons 53 the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven(烤箱) when you feel 54 on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to 55 the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.

I am Ali. I have always believed in myself. My parents taught me to be 41 and that I could be the best at anything. I 42 challenging my neighbourhood boys to see who could jump the highest and run the fastest. Of course I knew when I made the challenge, I would win. I never even 43 losing.
I started my boxing 44 when I was 12. In high school I boasted (自夸) that one day I was 45 to be the champion of the world. As part of my training, I would run down the street. I would rush in and out of shops to 46 them I was training for the Olympics and I was going to 47 a gold medal. I never thought of failing but only glory(光荣) I was going to 48 when I won. When I said I was going to be the "Greatest of All Time", I 49 myself. And I still do.
But I didn’t know that my will would be 50 when I retired. In 1996, I was asked to 51 the cauldron(圣火) at the summer Olympic Games in Atlanta.
When the 52 came for me to set fire to the cauldron, I realized I had the eyes of the world on me. Then I heard an extremely loud 53 . I was reminded of my 1960 Olympic 54 in Rome, when I won the gold medal. I remembered those 36 years between Rome and Atlanta and 55 that I had come full circle. Nothing in life has defeated me. I am still "The Greatest."

When I was 17,I read a quote that went something like:“If you live each day as if it were your last,someday you’ll most certainly be right” It made a deep 1 on me, and since then, for the past 33 years,I have 2 in the mirror every morning and asked myself:“If today were the last day of my life, 3 I want to do what I am about to do today?” And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 4 ,I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I’ll be 5 soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big 6 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death, 7 only what is truly important.
About a year ago I was 8 with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs 9 order,which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die.I 10 with that diagnosis all day. 11 ,at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is 12 with surgery.I had the surgery and I’m fine now.
13 wants to die.Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all 14 .No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be,because death is very likely the single best invention of 15 .It is life's change agent. It clears out the old to 16 for the new.Right now the new is you.But someday not too 17 from now,you will gradually become the old and be cleared away.Sorry to be so dramatic,but it is quite true.
Your time is 18 ,so don’t waste it living someone else’s 1ife.Don’t be 19 by dogma (教条) —which is living with the results of other people’s thinking.Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner 20 .And most importantly,have the courage to follow your heart.

As a music teacher for twenty-seven years I have always known that music touches the soul. It can break through all kinds of barriers to reach students in a very special way. It can be the means for each child to find their light.
A few years ago I was blessed with the opportunity to teach pre-school students one afternoon a week. One of my most memorable students was Vanessa. She was five years old ,had difficulty walking and could not speak. We mostly sat on the floor for our music lessons and Vanessa liked to sit on my lap. One of her favorite songs was John the Rabbit. It was a call and response song where I sang the call and the students clapped two times while singing the repeating phrase “Oh yes!” Vanessa liked to put her hands together with mine and clap with me. We performed that song during every class Vanessa and I clapping together. She never said or sang a word.
One day late in the school year when the song was finished Vanessa turned around, looked at me in the eye, clapped her tiny hands two times and said the words “Oh yes!” I opened my mouth and could not speak. Through music we had made a connection.
Several years later I came across Vanessa on the street in town. I stopped my car and waved to say hello. She waved back with a big smile on her face and then clapped her hands two times mimicking the song we had performed in our music class. This precious little girl through her connection with music left an impression on me that will last forever.
Every child has the ability to learn and grow. It is up to us educators to discover the way to reach each and every one of our students. We all must find each child’s light.The author thinks music__________.
| A.can make children calm down |
| B.can connect heart to heart |
| C.is difficult for pre-school students |
| D.is a good means to find a job |
According to the second paragraph Vanessa_________.
| A.got used to singing songs |
| B.was too shy to speak |
| C.was the youngest in the class |
| D.enjoyed the author’s class |
When Vanessa spoke the words “Oh yes!” the author felt________.
| A.surprised | B.happy | C.frightened | D.satisfied |
What can we infer from the last two paragraphs?
| A.The author has been in touch with Vanessa for several years. |
| B.Vanessa became as healthy as other children. |
| C.The song made a deep impression on Vanessa. |
| D.Being a good educator became Vanessa’s dream. |

Dinah is one of the most good-natured children that ever lived, but she is very, very lazy. There is nothing she likes, or used to like, so much as to curl up in some warm corner in the sun and do nothing.
Dinah’s mother wished very much that her child should learn to read, but the lady who tried to teach her soon give it up. “It is no 16 ,” she said, “Dinah 17 not learn. She is not stupid, but too lazy.”
It happened soon that a young man from Massachusetts came to the house where Dinah lived. He brought with him something no one else in the neighborhood had ever seen before-a pair of roller-skates.
When Dinah saw the young man going rapidly up and down the piazza (广场) on his skates she was so 18 . She ran after him like a cat, her black eyes shining.
One day the young man allowed her to 19 the skates. The child was too happy for words. Of course she fell down, but did not 20 at all.
“Look here, Dinah,” said the young man, “I understand that my aunt has been trying to teach you to read. Why didn’t you learn? Now, if you can read, I will send you a pair of good roller-skates.”
For a moment she said 21 , then exclaimed decidedly, “I’ll have those skates, sure.”
And she did. When she 22 her mind on her work, she could always do it well, 23 it was.
The lady who had before this found her 24 difficult a child to teach, now had no trouble. If Dinah showed the least 25 of her former laziness, the word SKATES was enough to draw her attention back to her lesson instantly.
On New Year’s morning she received a box marked in large printed letters:
MISS DINAH MORRIS,
Care of Mrs. Lawrence Delaney,
NEW ORLEANS, LA.
If she can read what is on the outside of this box she can have what is inside.
And as Dinah read every word clearly and quickly, of course she had the fine roller-skates the box held. And now sitting curled up in the sun, doing nothing, is not the thing she likes to do best.

Around 5:30 p.m., I was on the bus one day and everybody on the bus was quiet. People had just 36 from work, students had just finished their 37 class and everybody was a little 38 from a long day. It wasn't a particularly good day for me as I was feeling quite tired too. I was just looking outside of the 39 without any specific thought in my mind. It was the same40 I had seen many times before, people hurrying home.
In front of me, there was a man sitting in the seat who didn't look too clean. 41 he was looking out of the window, the man suddenly 42 to me and pointed at something outside. "Hey, look." He had a big smile on his face. I turned to the 43 he was pointing to and there it was ---- the beautiful Catalina mountains burning with a beautiful 44 . The mountains were coated with bright pink light and shadows. He turned to other people on the bus and told them to look at the mountains. He 45
" Wow" and " It's so beautiful" again and again. Everybody on the bus 46 the views indeed.
The 47 view also helped me to48 my long tiring day with a good feeling in my heart. But, more 49 , I was so inspired (鼓舞)to see that this man wanted to50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His51 act made me accidentally find something that I had lost which I didn't even know I had lost. He made me 52 that I had lost the feelings and the excitement I 53 have everyday. In my daily life, many things had 54 their color and movement. But he55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.
