Okay, you are in the classroom, you’ve got the proper attitude, your instructor seems eager and energetic and you’re ready to learn. Your instructor starts 21 . You listen to the first few words and then begin to take notes. Copious notes. At the end of 45 minutes you have literally rewritten the 22 . Your hand is sweaty from the constant writing and you’ve filled up seven pages of your notebook. But one thing is 23 . You forgot to listen to the lecture.
This is a 24 problem in all classes. You are so afraid that you might miss something “important” that your tendency is to write 25 down. We all do because we have all committed this 26 at one time or another. I realize it’s easy for me to say this, but it is much better to listen to the lecture carefully and 27 only those things that were genuinely important.
It goes without saying that your notes should be written readably. I wouldn’t suggest rewriting your 28 after every class but sometimes this will help you understand and recollect the material better. Organize your notes into brief 29 . Use arrows, stars, asterisks and other notational devices to highlight things that seem really important. As a rule, if there is anything you don’t understand, bring it up during the next class period. If not, you will be doing yourself, and everyone 30 in the class, a great injustice.
21. A. speaking B. saying C. talking D. discussing
22. A. speech B. lecture C. lesson D. class
23. A. missing B. going C. losing D. leaving
24. A. average B. ordinary C. common D. usual
25. A. anything B. something C. nothing D. everything
26. A. behavior B. action C. fault D. error
27. A. record B. notice C. memorize D. keep

As he came close and lit the match，his eyes met with mine．At that moment，I smiled I don't know 41 I did that，Perhaps it was 42 ，perhaps it was because，when you get very close，one to another，it is very hard not to 43 ．In any case，I smiled．It was 44 a spark(火花)jumped across the distance between our two hearts．I know he didn't want to，but my smile jumped through the bars and caused a smile on his lips．He lit my cigarette but stayed near，looking at me 45_ in the eyes and continuing to smile．

Suddenly， 50 ，he unlocked my cell(牢房)and silently led me out．Out of the prison，quietly and by 51 routes，out of the town．There，at the edge of town，he set me 52 ．And without another word，he turned back toward the town．
My life was 53 by a smile．

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers，I often want to cut and keep it．But just as I am about to do so，I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting．It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health，or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society．If I cut the front articles，the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ，leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title．Therefore，the scissors would stay before they start， 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result．
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time，both worth your 39 ．You can only take up one of them；the other has to wait or be 39 up．But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind．Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad．How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 43 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other．
In fact that is what 44 is like；we are often 45 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both 46 like a newspaper cutting．It often occurs that our attention is 47 to the thing only after we get into another．The former may be more important than the latter and this 48 a divided mind．I still remember a philosopher’s 49 ：“When one door shuts，another opens in life．”So a casual（不经意的） 50 may not be a bad one．

I didn't cry when I learned I was the parent of a mentally(脑力地) disabled(残疾) child. I just sat still and didn't say anything while my husband and I were told that two-year-old Kristi was --- 36 we thought ---retarded（弱智的）.
At seven, Kristi attended school and everything went on well. However, during her second year in school, she faced a very painful experience. The big public 37 of the term was a competition based on the year's music and physical education activities.
On the day of the program, Kristi 38 to be sick. Hopelessl
y I wanted to keep her home. Why let Kristi fail in a gym filled with parents, students and teachers? What a simple solution（解决办法）it would be just to let my child stay at home. Of course, 39 one program couldn't matter. But my conscience(良知)wouldn't let me off that easily. So I insisted Kristi go to school and take part in the activity.
Just as I had forced my daughter to go to school, later I forced myself to go to the 40 . When the performance began, I knew 41 Kristi had been worried. Her class was divided into relay teams. 42 her slow and dull reactions(反应), she would surely 43 her team.
The performance went surprisingly well, 44 , until it was time for the sack race(跳袋比赛). Now each child had to climb into a sack from a standing position, 45 to a goal line, return and climb out of the sack.
I watched Kristi 46 near the end of her line of players, looking anxious. But as Kristi's 47 to participate came, a change took place in her team. The tallest boy in the line stepped 48 Kristi and placed his hands on her waist. Two other boys stood a little ahead of her. 49 the player in front of Kristi stepped from the sack, those two boys seized the sack and held it 50 while the tall boy lifted Kristi and 51 her neatly into it. A girl in front of Kristi took her hand and 52 her carefully until Kristi gained her balance. Then off she jumped, 53 and proud.
Among the 54 of teachers, schoolmates and pa
rents, I walked off by myself to thank God for the 55 , understanding people in life who make it possible for my disabled daughter to be like her fellow human beings.
Then I finally cried.
