In order to get home as soon as possible, I hired a taxi. The car was 16 along the road, now well-lit, now sank in darkness. I broke the 17on purpose, 18 that the driver might be too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?” “9 oclock. Ill go after this trip.”“Then when do you come out in the morning?” I 19 another question.“9 oclock, too. And I go home for lunch and dinner, just as if I worked at an office.” His easiness surprised me, because every time I ride in a taxi, what I hear from 20 are only complaints. They complain that they 21 work 22 , that it is 23 to earn money, that they are bullied (欺侮) by the policeman, or that the corporation leaders are seated, 24 , and enjoy the 25 of others work. It seems that they have a grievance (不满意) against everything. But this driver told me, “I find it 26 to be a section chief as I was before. I dont like management work. I like driving, just for 27 . Its 28 that I 29 drive without a passenger. So I can earn two or three thousand Yuan a month with ease. Any30? Yes, I never follow an empty taxi. If it goes31, I go northward. If it goes along the highway, I turn into a 32 street. In this way I always get customers.His words showed his satisfaction with his life and the pride he 33 in his job. Such feelings are so 34 among people nowadays as oxygen in high mountains. As an ancient saying 35 , “Neither joy in material gains nor grieve over personal setbacks (挫折).” How many people nowadays can show high ideals by simple living and go far with a calm mind? I couldnt help feeling curious when I found such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold winter night. 16. A. running B. flying C. driving D Walking.17. A silence. B. stillness C .calmness.

There were five surgeons 30 to repair his artery(动脉). They had great 31 in stopping the bleeding.” Jan said the surgeons were “ 32 ” and Callum pulled through, but then followed a long 33 of re-building his body. Jan said “When he first 34 his eyes, he couldnt do anything. He was just like a newborn baby again. He had to be 35 how to sit up and walk.” Callum admits that having to learn things again has been 36 .

Last week I _41_ a telephone call from a woman who could not stop _42_ as she told me that one of my stories had saved her son from committing suicide. In closing she called me a _43_. That _44_ me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero _45_ I pulled a family from a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I _46_ a story that saved someones life? Today I decided to look up the word hero in the dictionary to see _47_ what it meant. It _48_ a person who does. something brave. As I read on, it also said a person who is good and noble . That statement _49_ me more than the part about being _50_. So I thought about something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store and I _51_ to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed me by, I say, How are you today? Most of the time that would be no big deal, _52_this time lets say it was for someone who was deeply _53_ and near the end of the rope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them in a very long time. Having been near the end of my rope, after my marriage of twenty years ended, I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get enough _54_ to end the pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had _55_ me a card in the mail which told me how _56_ they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful card probably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and became a hero Similarly many children come out of the orphanages_57_ a very hard and bitterattitude against the world, but the gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. _58_ , most of them will never hurt anyone because of the _59_ shown to them by those of us who cared. If it _60_ , we will also become “heroes”.41.A.made B. received C. gave D. accepted42. A. crying B. laughing C. thinking D. laughing43. A. writer B. player C. gentleman D. hero44.

But, stepping his way through the 44 room, he stubbed (碰到) his bare 45 against a table leg. Choking (抑制) back a cry of pain, terrified of waking the merchant, he hit 46 on the forehead and called himself a fool. He had 47 to bring a light.In the darkness, 48 , he was able to see an oil lamp on the table, and lit it, then he gave a 49 of relief. As he 50 the lamp, a small spider came out from under its 51 .“Thank you for saving my life,” said the spider. “Before he went to bed, the merchant set this lamp down on top of me so I couldnt escape. If you hadnt come along, I wouldnt have 52 the night; 53 , Id have extremely uncomfortable situation for a long time.” “You have saved a life and shown compassion (同情), ”the spider went on, 54 the impatient thief said he had not 55 to do so. “ 56 yet, you have done so without the 57 thought or hope of reward. You have gained more merits (优点) than you could possibly imagine.” “But youre only a spider,” said the thief.“And youre only a man.” said the spider. “My dear thief, when you understand that 58 is life, whether on eight legs or 59 , you will have understood much.

I got there a little early so I 21 the car by the roadside and waited for her.As I looked 22 the car window, there was a small park where I saw a little boy, around one and a half to two years old, 23 freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short 24 . The boy had a big smile on his face 25 he had just been set free from some sort of 26 . The boy would then fall to the grass, 27 , and without hesitation or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a 28 on his face.Kids, when they fall down, dont view their falling down as failure, but 29 ,they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again until they 30 . Not only was I touched by the boys persistence, but I was 31 touched by the manner in which he ran. With each attempt, he looked so 32 and so natural-no signs of fear, nervousness, or of being discouraged. His only 33 was to run freely and to do it as effectively as he could. He was just being a 34 -just being himself-being completely in the moment. He was not looking for 35 or was not worrying about whether 36 was watching. He wasnt concerned about being judged. He didnt seem to be bothered by the fact that maybe someone would see him 37 and that it would be 38 if he did fall. No, all that 39 to him was to him was to accomplish the task, to feel the experience of running fully and freely. I learned a lot from that 40 and experience, and have successfully brought that lesson with me in my many pursuits in life.21AparkedBstartedC rodeDbroke22AtowardBdownC outsideDover23AplayingBrunningCrollingD smiling24AwayBdistanceCtimeD length25Aas thoughBso long asCeven ifDnow that26AparkBcaveCcastleD prison27Atake upBget upCbreak downDlie in28AtearBsmileCpleasureDsurprise29AhoweverBinsteadCthereforeDanyhow-30AstopBwinCachieveDsucceed31AequallyBapparently CactuallyDluckily32AconfidentBjoyfulCquietDproud33AworryBdreamCaimDconclusion34AboyBchildCplayerDwinner35AapprovalBfortuneCchance Dtrouble36AanyoneBsomeoneCeveryoneDone37AfailBrunCcryDfall38AdisappointingBembarrassingCfrighteningDamusing39AhappenedBcaredCmatteredDrelated40AobservationBdiscoveryCstoryDIncidentPassage 6Many years ago, a baby boy came into this world. But 41 , he didnt come with a cry, which was a big 42 from the medical point of view. The doctor turned the baby 43 and slapped his bottom sharply. The baby cried and 44 . The father smiled and silently cried 45 . He held the baby in his arms and didnt allow the doctor to touch the baby anymore. That baby was me, and that man was my dad. Dad never tried to hug or kiss me when I was a child. And 46 , he never said “I love you” to me, either. Maybe its a Chinese cultural thing, or maybe thats the way my dad was. But 47 I felt defeated, sad or lonely, dad was always there. He was a man of 48 words, but I could always feel a very special 49 to him.When I was in high school, dad retired and 50 a food stand on the street near my school. Every day when I finished 51 , my classmates and I 52 pass his food stand. But I really hated talking to dad in front of his food stand, 53 I did not want my classmates to know that my dad was selling noodles on the street!One night, I couldnt 54 it any more and shouted, “Dad, could you stop selling your 55 noodles? I dont need a father who sells noodles on the street!” At that moment, dad was 56 . He tried to say something but didnt. When he turned his head 57 , something happened that I had never seen and would never forget for 58 of my life. His eyes were filled with tears and sadness. It was the first time that I saw dad 59 . My mom later told me that dad was selling noodles to save money for my college education. I was such an idiot, and even today I still feel 60 for that night.41.

As we played, I noticed a small group of boys 43 a smaller, skinner, and possibly younger boy. They were calling his names and 44 pushed him to the ground and 45 dirt in his face.
