very _2_ indeed. but what made him most unusual was the fact that whenever he needed to _3_， he did so by singing opera. even if someone said “good day” to him, he would clear his throat and _4_，“goood dayyy to youuuuuutoooooo！”almost everyone considered william unusual, since no one could get a normal _5_ word out of him. as no one knew how he made his livinghe lived quite _6_， always wearing the same old secondhand suitthey often had no respect for him and sometimes even _7_ him.william had been in cheekyville for some years, when one day a rumor (谣言) spread that william had

is unacceptable.in the early stages of skill or character development, imitation is helpful. when i first learned to cook, i used recipes (菜谱) and turned out some tasty dishes. but soon i grew bored. why follow someone elses way of cooking when i could create my own? imitating role models is like using training wheels on a childs bicycle; they help you get going, but once you find your own balance, you fly faster and farther without relying on them.in daily life, imitation can hurt us if we subconsciously (下意识地) hold poor role models. if, as a child, you observed people whose lives were bad, you may have accepted their fear and pain as normal and gone on to follow what they did. if you do not make strong choices for yourself, you will get the results of the weak choices of others.in the field of entertainment, our culture glorifies celebrities. those stars look great on screen. but when they step off screen, their personal lives may be disastrous. if you are going to follow someone, focus on their talent, not their bad character or unacceptable behaviors.blessed is the person willing to act on their sudden desire to create something unique.think of the movies，books，teachers，and friends that have affected you most deeply.they touched you because their creations were motivated by inspiration，not desperation.the world is changed not by those who do what has been done before them，but by those who do what has been done inside them.creative people have an endless resource of ideas.the problem a creator faces is not running out of material；it is what to do with all the material knocking at the door of imagination.study your role models，accept the gifts they have given，and leave behind what does not serve you.then you can say，“i stand on the shoulders of my ancestors tragedies and declare victory，and know that they are cheering me on.”16imitation proves useful when you_.aknow you are uniqueblose the balance of lifecbegin to learn something newdget tired of routine practice17. to avoid the bad result of imitation, we should_.a. forget daily fear and painb. choose the right examplec. ask others for decisionsd. stay away from stars18according to the author，the world moves on because of those who are_.a. desperate to influence others with their knowledge b. ready to turn their original ideas into realityc. eager to discover what their ancestors didd. willing to accept others ideas19the trouble a creator faces is_.athe lack of strong motivationbthe absence of practical ideas chow to search for more materialsdhow to use imagination creatively20. what is the authors purpose in writing this passage?a. to highlight the importance of creativity.b. to criticize the characters of role models.c. to compare imitation with creation.d. to explain the meaning of success.bi entered high school having read hundreds of books. but i was not a good reader. merely bookish, i lacked a point of view when i read. rather, i read in order to get a point of view. i searched books for good expressions and sayings, pieces of information, ideas, themesanything to enrich my thought and make me feel educated. when one of my teachers suggested to his sleepy tenthgrade english class that a person could not have a “complicated idea” until he had read at least two thousand books, i heard the words without recognizing either their irony(嘲讽)or their very complicated truth. i merely determined to make a list of all the books i had ever read. strict with myself, i included only once a title i might have read several times.(how, after all, could one read a book more than once？)and i included only those books over a hundred pages in length.(could anything shorter be a book？)there was yet another high school list i made. one day i came across a newspaper article about an english professor at a nearby state college. the article had a list of the “hundred most important books of western civilization”. “more than anything else in my life，” the professor told the reporter with_finality,_“these books have made me all that i am.” that was the kind of words i couldnt ignore. i kept the list for the several months it took me to read all of the titles. most books, of course, i hardly understood. while reading platos the republic, for example, i needed to keep looking at the introduction of the book to remind myself what the text was about. however, with the special patience and superstition(迷信)of a schoolboy, i looked at every word of the text. and by the time i reached the last word, pleased, i persuaded myself that i had read the republic, and seriously crossed plato off my list.21on hearing the teachers suggestion of reading, the writer thought _.aone must read as many books as possibleba student should not have a complicated ideacit was impossible for one to read two thousand booksdstudents ought to make a list of the books they had read22while at high school, the writer _.ahad plans for readingblearned
