Within a few days the whole neighbourhood knew the story. The neighbour was deeply hurt. Later the woman responsible (负责) for spreading the gossip learned that it was completely untrue. She was very sorry and went to a wise old man to find out what she could do to repair the harm. “Go to the marketplace,” he said, “and buy a chicken, and have it killed, then on your way home, pluck (拔) its feathers and drop them one by one along the road.” Although surprised by this advice, the woman did what she was told. The next day the wise man said, “Now, go and collect all those feathers you dropped yesterday and bring them back to me.” The woman followed the same road, but she was so discouraged when she found the wind had blown all the feathers away. After searching for hours, she returned with only three in her hand. “You see,” said the old man, “its easy to drop them, but its impossible to get them back. So it is with gossip. It doesnt take much to spread a gossip, but once you do, you can never completely undo the wrong.”( )54. The woman was very _ the harm she had done to her neighbour.

On April 12, 2009, it was reported that the Obamas had adopted a six-month-old Portuguese water dog given to them as a gift.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my opinion, the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up. One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will rarely achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt（尝试） at something new, so we should not feel disappointed （失望）and should try again. Besides(此外，而且), if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow. Another reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson （教训）that we learned is wasted. Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us improve our lives. If we never challenge （挑战）ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities. In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. Whether we succeed in the end or not, we will learn something, and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. Further more, if we give up, we have no chance of achieving our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will succeed in the future.Topic: Never Give UpPossible meanings and the authors opinionsThe words “ Never give up” can 66 others or oneself and express（表达） ones determination. A person who wants to be 67 should have the quality. So we should never give up.The 68 If we give up too easily, maybe we will achieve 69 , so when we fail in our first attempt at something new, we should not feel disappointed 70 try again.Always giving up means that we will not be able to 71 any progress. Never giving up will make us learn from the 72 weve made before and learn the lesson so as not to make the same mistakes. To reach our goals and develop the confidence which can help us 73 ourselves, we must not give up but challenge ourselves. ConclusionsIf you give up, you will have no 74 of reaching your goals. Never give up and you will achieve your goals in the 75 五、词汇（共25题，每题1分，计25分）A. 根据句意和汉语提示写出单词，完成句子。76. The poster says more than one _ will attend the presentation. (导演) 77.
