Passage 6

Many people believe everything or almost everything they read in newspapers or hear on radio.

A few years ago I 36 a story about a husband and wife who made a 37 mistake. They had gone shopping and had taken their small baby 38 with them. After they had finished their shopping, they returned to their car to go home. 39 they reached their car, they put the baby in the plastic baby carrier that 40 rode in for safety. The couple then 41 in their car toward home. After they had driven a few miles, they 42 the back seat to see how the baby was. To their surprise, the baby was not there. According to the 43 , the couple had put the plastic seat and the baby on the top of the car but had 44 to put him inside the car. They had driven away with the baby on the top of the car.

The couple drove back 45 the store but did not find the baby. They called the police, and the police said that they 46 the baby and that the baby was 47 . The baby had fallen from the top of the car but had been 48 by his plastic seat. The 49 couple took their baby home and were always careful after that.

Passage7

The story goes that some time ago, a man had very lovely little daughter. One day, the man

36 his 3-year-old daughter for 37 a roll of gold wrapping paper. Money was tight and he became 38 when the child tried to decorate a 39 to put under the Christmas tree. 40 , the little girl brought the gift to her 41 the next morning and said. “This is for you, Daddy.”

The man was 42 by his earlier 43 , but his anger flared again when he found out the box was 44 . He yelled at her, stating, “Don’t you know, when you give someone a present, there is 45 to be something inside?” The little girl looked 46 at him with tears in her eyes and cried, “Oh, Daddy, it’s not empty 47 . I blew kisses into the box. They are all for you, Daddy.”

The father was crushed. He 48 his arms around his little girl, and he begged for her 49 Only a short time later, an 50 took the life of the child. It is also told that her father kept that gold box by his bed for many 51 and whenever he was discouraged, he would take out a(n) 52 kiss and remember the love of the child who had put it there.

Passage 8

As an engineering student, I had a degree and three good job offers. I couldn’t help trembling when I heard about studies which showed that women are at a (n) 36 when it comes to math. However, I discovered: just because a subject is 37 to learn, it does not show you are not good at it. You just have to grit your teeth and work harder to get good at it. 38 you do, there’s a (an) 39 chance you will enjoy it more than anything else.

In eighth grade I took algebra (代数). On one test I got only 36 percent of the 40 answers. I failed the next one, too. I started to 41 maybe I’m just not good at this. I was lucky enough to have a teacher who didn’t take my bad grades as a judgment of my 42 , but 43 as an indication that I should study more. He 44 me aside and told me he knew I could do better. Success grows out of struggles to overcome difficulties. I 45 the following tests, and pulled my grade up to an A.

I studied a lot in college, too. I had moments of fear while sitting below the fluorescent lights in the 46 library on Saturday afternoons, when I 47 that the estrogen (雌性激素) in my body was 48 me from understanding thermodynamics (热动力学). But the 49 in my class had to work just as hard, and I knew that I couldn’t 50 to lose confidence in myself. I didn’t want to choose between my femininity (女人气) and a good career. 51 I reminded myself that those 52 , the ones that say math comes more naturally to men, are faulty.

Here’s a secret: math and science don’t go 53 to most people. No one was 54 born knowing calculus (微积分). But as a famous saying goes: nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it. A woman can learn anything a man can, but first she needs to know that she can do it, and then takes a leap of 55 .

Passage 9

School was over and I was both mentally and physically tired. I sat at the very front of the bus because of my 36 to get home. Sitting at the front made me 37 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.

Jane, the driver, tried to break the 38 atmosphere by striking the match of 39 .

I tried to mind manners and 40 listened, but usually I was too busy thinking of my day. On this day, 41 , her conversation was worth listening to.

“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 42 . I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes.. with a sudden change of attitude and interest, I asked, “what’s wrong with him?”

With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 43 the tears, she responded, “Heart trouble.”Her eyes lowed as she 44 , “I’ve already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”

I cou ldn’t respond. I was 45 . My heart ached for her. I sat on the old, smelly seat thinking of the great 46 my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how

hard it was, 47 still is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to go 48 that.

Suddenly I realized Jane wasn’t only a bus driver. That was 49 her job. She had a whole world of family and concerns, too. I have never thought of her as 50 but a bus driver.

I suddenly felt very 51 . I realized I had only thought of her as 52 as what her purpose was in my life. I paid no attention to Jane because she was a bus driver. I had judged her by her job and brushed her off as 53 .

For all I know, I’m just another person in 54 else’s world, and may not even be important. I 55 not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointments to keep. Understanding people is an art.

36．A．anxiety B．determination C．decision D．attempt 37．A．find B．make C．think D．stand 38．A．unpopular B．uncomfortable C．unusual D．unforgettable 39．A．fire B．topic C．conversation D．discussion 40．A．politely B．devotedly C．carelessly D．sincerely 41．A．however B．therefore C．thus D．otherwise 42．A．surprise B．common C．silence D．particular 43．A．fighting B．avoiding C．clearing D．keeping 44．A．told B．lasted C．repeated D．continued 45．A．for sure B．at ease C．in shock D．in despair 46．A．mercy B．pain C．pity D．disappointment 47．A．so B．yet C．and D．or
