They say all the figures are in ideal road conditions!” “Yes,” he said again.“Can you show me some ideal road conditions?” I asked him, and he smiled. “The car that sells well is the one 43 will provide power and speed on the 44 roads. That car is the winner.” We had got to the car. “Dont look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “ 45 the unfair and come out a winner!”I looked back as I drove away and saw him smile and wave, and I knew he would do as I said.( ) 36.

Which country is better to study in? We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.Its true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.Students must also learn to live without parents care and deal with all kinds of things they havent had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden（负担）to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.第三节 回答问题（5小题，计10分）阅读下面的材料，然后根据材料内容回答问题。Think “rock, paper, scissors (剪刀)” is a childrens game? Think again.
