In 1957, Jane Goodall first met the famous anthropologist (人类学者) Dr Louis Leakey, who later played an important role in her life. With the 32 of gaining insight into humans’ evolutionary (进化的) past, Dr Leakey 33 a pioneering long-term field study on 34 chimps. Even though Jane had no formal 35 , her patience and determination to understand animals 36 him to choose her for the study. 37 it was unusual for a woman to work in the forest of Africa, going there 38 the fulfillment (实现) of her childhood dream. In the summer of 1960 she 39 in Tanzania(坦桑尼亚) on Lake Tanganyika’s eastern shore. This marked the 40 of the longest continuous field study of animals in their 41 habitat(栖息地). Five years 42 , she earned a doctor’s degree at Cambridge University and then 43 to Tanzania to found the Gombe Stream Research Center. And in 1977, to provide on-going 44 for chimp research, Dr Goodall 45 The Jane Goodall Institute.
Today, she 46 most of her time traveling around the world, giving lectures on her 47 at Gombe and speaking to school groups about Roots &Shoots, her environmental education and humanitarian program for the 48 .
“Chimps have given me so 49 . The long hours spent with them in the 50 have enriched my life beyond measure. What I have learned from them has shaped my 51 of human behavior, of our place in nature.”

There was once a famous king whose name was Tamerlane. Like Alexander the Great, he 36 to become the master of the whole world. So he raised a great 37 and made war on other countries. He conquered(征服，打败） many kings and 38 many cities. But at last his army was beaten; and Tamerlane escaped alone from the field of 39 .
For a long time he wandered in 40 from place to place. His enemies were 41 him. He was about to lose all hope.
One day he was 42 under a tree, thinking of his failure. He had now been a wanderer for twenty days. He couldn’t 43 any longer. Suddenly he saw a small object climbing up the trunk (树干) of the tree. He looked more 44 and saw it was an ant, 45 a grain of wheat（麦粒） as large as itself.
There was a 46 in the tree only a little way above, and that was the home of the ant.
“You are 47 , Mr. Ant,” he said, “but you are carrying something that is too heavy for you.” Just as he 48 , the ant lost its footing and fell to the ground. But it 49 held on to the grain of wheat. Tamerlane 50 the little insect. It tried the second time, the third time ... the twentieth time — but always with the same 51 . Then it tried the twenty-first time. 52 , one little step at a time, it climbed across the rough place where it had 53 so often. The next minute it climbed 54 into its home, carrying the grain of wheat. “Well done!” said Tamerlane, “you’ve taught me a lesson. I, too, will try, try again, 55 I succeed.”
And this he did.

Perhaps the most interesting person I have ever met is an Italian professor of philosophy who teaches at the University of Pisa. 21 I last met this man eight years ago, I have not forgotten his 22 qualities. First of all, I respected his 23 to teaching. Because his lectures were always well-prepared and clearly delivered, students crowded into his classroom. His followers liked the fact that he 24 what he taught. Furthermore, he could be counted on（依赖） to explain his ideas in an 25 way, introducing such aids to 26 as oil paintings, music, and guest lecturers. Once he 27 sang a song in class in order to make a point clear. 28 , 1 admired the fact that he would talk to students outside the classroom or talk with them 29 the telephone. Drinking coffee in the cafe, he would easily make friends with students. Sometimes he would 30 a student to a game of chess. 31 , he would join student groups to discuss a variety of 32 ：agriculture, diving and mathematics. Many young people visited him in his office for 33 on their studies; others came to his home for social evenings. Finally, I was 34 by his lively sense of humor. He believed that no lesson is a success 35 , during it, the students and the professor 36 at least one loud 37 . Through his sense of humor, he made learning more 38 and more lasting. If it is 39 that life makes a wise man smile and a foolish man cry, 40 my friend is indeed a wise man.

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 same 40 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 to 48 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 to 50 the beautiful view with everybody on the bus, total strangers. His 51 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 he 55 me that things are still there ---- they never get lost.

I am always eager to do experiments, especially chemistry ones. It's _26_ to work with test tubes and beakers（烧杯） , even though sometimes my efforts end in__27___. Experiments were fun for me __28 a recent accident.

But to my great 42___ , the material of my trousers turned into powder! “Vitrio（硫酸）! ! !”The terrible word came into my mind. I rushed out right away to wash and examine my poor skin. _43_ , it was not a serious injury.
After changing my __44____I sat down and told myself: danger is no joke! It's very important to have a serious___45___ in chemistry class. Doing scientific experiments as a learner is no laughing matter.

Since my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.
I had seen an agency (中介) 16 in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the house in search of it. I was wildly 17 , and nervous as if I were going on the stage. 18 the place quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which 19 “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office 20 me. The woman looked carefully at me for a while through her glasses, and then 21 me in a low voice. I answered softly. 22 , I started to feel rather hopeless. She wondered 23 I was looking for this sort of job. I felt even more 24 when she told me that it would be 25 to get a job without experience. I 26 whether I ought to leave, when the 27 on her desk rang. I heard her say, “As a matter of fact, I’ve got someone in the office at this very moment who might 28 .” She wrote down a 29 , and held it out to me, saying , “Ring up this lady. She wants a cook immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by 30 a dinner for ten people.”
“Oh yes,” I said. I have never cooked for more than four people in my life. I 31 her again and again, and rushed out to the 32 telephone-box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep 33 , and rang the number. I said 34 that I was just what she was looking for.
All things are difficult before they are 35 , so I spent the next few hours reading cook books.

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a typical _36__ of Chinglish.
Obviously it is a word-by-word literal（字面上的）translation of the Chinese greetings with a 37 English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 38 .I was too delighted to believe her. Her words could not 39 me at all. So I did a 40 on Google. Com.. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 41 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been 42 used in emails, letters, newspapers, moves, or any other possible place. Though it is 43 informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 44 , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 45 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the 46 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 47 a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 48 quoting (引用) Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon “Long time on see” became a 49 phrase in America 50 the popularity of these movies.
Some people 51 America to a huge melting pot (熔炉). All kinds of culture are 52 in the pot together, and they 53 the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also 54 some changes to be 55 in the mixed pot.

I shall never forget the day when the earthquake took place. It was about 5 o’clock in the afternoon and I was 26 to my daughter’s school. Our plan was to go 27 together. I’d stopped at a 28 to get some fresh fruit. We like to have some fruit to eat 29 our swim. I was driving along a high road on the way. 30 my road was another road which was built like a 31 . I was hungry so I put the bag of apples 32 me and started to eat one. 33 I saw the cars in front of me start to 34 from side to side. Then my car started to shake! I didn’t know what was happening.

I couldn’t move. My legs and feet were hurting badly and I couldn’t move them. All round me was 39 But above me I could hear shouts and a lot of noise. Then I memorized what had happened. I had been 40 an earthquake. For about two hours nobody came. Luckily I could reach the bag of 41 , so at least I had plenty to eat. Then I heard people 42 towards me. A team of people had come to 43 if anyone was under the 44 road. I called out, “I’m here!” I heard a shout. Soon a stranger climbed to my car. “How are you 45 ?”He asked. “Not too bad,”I said. They didn’t get me out until the next morning.

Inspiration
“Mama, when I grow up, I’m going to be one of those!” I said this after seeing the Capital Dancing Company perform when I was three. It was the first time that my __36__ took on a vivid form and acted as something important to start my training. As I grew older and was __37__ to more, my interests in the world of dance __38__ varied but that little girl’s dream of someday becoming a __39__ in the company never left me. In the summer of 2005 when I was 18, I received the phone call which made that dream a __40__; I became a member of the company __41__ back to 1925.
As I look back on that day now, it surely __42__ any sense of reality. I believe I stayed in a state of pleasant disbelief __43__ I was halfway through rehearsals (排练) on my first day. I never actually __44__ to get the job. After being offered the position, I was completely __45__. I remember shaking with excitement.
Though I was absolutely thrilled with the change, it did not come without its fair share of __46__. Through the strict rehearsal period of dancing six days a week, I found it vital to __47__ up the material fast with every last bit of concentration. It is that extreme __48__ to detail (细节) and stress on practice that set us __49__. To then follow those high-energy rehearsals __50__ a busy show schedule of up to five performances a day, I discovered a new __51__ of the words “hard work.” What I thought were my physical __52__ were pushed much further than I thought __53__. I learned to make each performance better than the last.
Today, when I look at the unbelievable company that I have the great __54__ of being a part of, not only as a member, but as a dance captain, I see a __55__ that has inspired not only generations of little girls but a splendid company that continues to develop and grow-and inspires people every day to follow their dreams.

I noticed the woman when I entered the newsroom. My secretary told me she wanted to put an ad to 36 a baby. So I suggested several 37 lines for these ads to her: 38 , Baby to love; or Dear Birth Mother, Let Us Help You. The ad would contain 39 about her and her husband: they were 40 , could afford to raise a child. But then something 41 me: the major newspapers carried ads like this and their 42 were larger than ours. “Have you tried the major ones?” I asked. “Yes, but all failed and one more wouldn’t 43 .” She handed me a check and left with a 44 smile.
A week later the woman called in a 45 of delight: “Please don’t run the ad again. We ’ve connected with 46 . The baby is due in a month.” Good news. I asked her if she 47 keep in touch if the adoption 48 to have a happy ending. She agreed but added when the adoption was final she was 49 to give me the story.
One day my phone rang. I 50 her voice immediately. “The adoption is final. Would you like to come and meet him?” Happily, I made a (an ) 51 with her for the next day. “His name is Ben,” she said, as I started to take 52 . “He slept through the night from the start. Now he’s smiling and starting to turn over. Of course I’m not 53 him. If he is a little slow.” She paused. “ Oh, I should tell you Ben has Down’s Syndrome.(唐氏综合症)” I stopped writing . I wasn’t sure how to 54 . But she smiled “Ben was meant for us, don’t you see? He needs me more than a 55 developing child would.” She sat on the sofa, holding her son. Both of them smiled. “You wanted a story with a happy ending,” said the woman “ You got it.”

A Love Note to My Mom
When I was a little girl, I would often accompany you as you modeled (T台展示) for fashion photographers. It was years later that I finally understood what role modeling 36 in your life. Little did I know you were 37 every penny you earned to go to 38 school.
I cannot thank you enough for 39 you told me one autumn afternoon when I was nine. After finishing my homework, I wandered into the dining room where you were buried 40 piles of law books. I was 41 . Why were you doing what I do—memorizing textbooks and studying for 42 ? When you said you were in law school, I was more puzzled. I didn’t know Moms 43 be lawyers too. You smiled and said, “In life, you can do anything you want to do.”
As young as I was, that statement kept 44 in my ears. I watched as you faced the 45 of completing your studies, starting companies with Dad, while still being a 46 and a Mom of five kids. I was exhausted just watching you 47 . With your words of wisdom in my 48 mind, I suddenly felt unlimited freedom to dream. My whole world 49 . I set out to live my life filled with 50 , seeing endless possibilities for personal and professional achievements.
Your words became my motto. I 51 found myself in the unique position of being either the first (woman doctor in Maryland Rotary) 52 one of the few women (chief medical reporters) in my field. I gained strength every time I said, “Yes, I’ll try that.”
Encouraged by your 53 , I have forged ahead(毅然前行) with my life’s journey, less afraid to make mistakes, and 54 meeting each challenge. You did it, and now I’m 55 it. Sorry, got to run. So much to do, so many dreams to live.

I was sure that I was to be killed. I became terribly 16 . I fumbled(摸索) in my pockets to see if there were any cigarettes, which had 17 their search. I found one. But I had no matches, for they had taken those. I 18 the bars at the jailer(狱卒). He did not make eye contact with me. I 19 out to him, “Have you got a 20 ?” He looked at me, shrugged (耸肩) and came over to light my cigarette. As he came close, I 21 . I don't know why I did that. It was as though a spark jumped across the 22 between our two hearts. My smile leaped through the 23 and generated a smile on his lips, too. He lit my cigarette but stayed 24, looking at me directly in the eyes.
I kept 25 at him, and his looking at me seemed to have a new dimension(方面) too. “Do you have 26 ?” he asked. “Yes, here, here.” I took out my wallet and 27 fumbled for the pictures of my family. He, 28, took out the pictures of his family and began to talk about his plans and hopes for 29 . My eyes filled with tears, I said that I 30 that I’d never see my family again, never have the 31 to see them grow up. Tears came to his eyes, too. 32 , without another word, he 33 my cell and silently led me out. Out of the jail, quietly and by back routes, out of the town.
My life was saved by a smile. Yes, the smile―the 34 , unplanned, natural connection between people. I really believe that if that part of you and that part of me could recognize each other, we wouldn't be enemies. We couldn't have 35 or envy or fear.

The Internet has opened up a whole new on-line world for us to meet, chat and go where we've never been before. But just as in face-to-face communication, there are some basic rules of behavior that should be followed when online. 66 Imagine how you'd feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” If the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 67 If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 68 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
69 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 70 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended. It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex, and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A．It’s natural that there are some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online. B．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. C．Everyone was new to the network once. D．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
My 4-year-old son now enjoys posting letters. He has formed the 36 of drawing pictures, writing his name on them, and then 37 the artwork in an envelope. He then insists on 38 his handwork to the neighbors, and a mail box he 39 belongs to the elderly couple who live next door. To be 40 , I didn’t think much of it, but I had 41 to warn my neighbors of the drawings 42 appearing in their letterboxes—I just didn’t have the 43 to do so, because I was a little busy recently.
On Tuesday of last week, I was walking down to school to collect my son when I 44 Mary, my elderly neighbor, 45 at her mail box. She said, “Jodie, is it your little son that has been posting items in my letterbox to me?” I was at once 46 , “Oh yes, Mary, it is. I’m sorry. I meant to tell you…” She cut me off, “Jodie, I just love his mail. I’ve 47 every item he has sent. You don’t know how much 48 the letters has made my day. I just love them.” While I was walking down to school after our 49 , many thoughts came to me. Mary doesn’t have a lot to fill her days, 50 she was a mother to a number of children herself who receives fairly regular visitors. The small 51 of getting some mail—pictures drawn by the hand of a young child—has brought 52 to her days, just as my visit to my grandparents does.
I have decided that my son should 53 this practice. He should also start sending some items to his grandparents in Perth as well. It will most 54 make their day.
It’s doing the little, simple things that can often make a big 55 in someone’s life.
