Around two weeks ago, I was invited to be a judge(裁判) at a college. All of the students had been given a piece of paper with a topic written on it. The first one to speak looked a little      . “My dear friends and judges,” he said loudly, “this is an unfair         ! I have been given the paper,” he continued, “to speak on the topic with just a few minutes’ preparation,        those who come after me have more time to         their speeches!” He then left the stage and went out of the hall. 
  I met him later by chance. “Who said life is        ?” I asked him with a smile, and I asked him to walk with me to my car. “Have you seen the figures(數(shù)字) they show when a new car is        into the market, saying how good it is?”  
  “Yes,” he nodded.
  “But they put a         after all these figures. 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        will provide power and speed on the       roads. That car is the winner.” 
  We had got to the car. “Don’t look for ideal competition conditions,” I said. “        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.

  In England, “Bank holiday” are Easter Monday, May Day, the Spring Bank Holidays (the last Monday in May), the Summer Bank Holiday (the last Monday in August), Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day. During the Bank Holiday, all the banks are closed.
The August Bank Holiday is probably the most popular one of the year, because it comes at a time when children are not at school. Many people try to make this long weekend, and go away to the seaside or the country. The result is that anyone who can manage to take a holiday at another time. Some people advised not to take a holiday at this time because the roads get crowded with traffic.
In recent years, there have been a lot of suggestions having another Bank Holiday—midway(中間)between August and Christmas, but nothing has yet been done, October would be a good month, as the weather is often very pleasant, and England has fewer Bank Holidays than most European countries, so many people would welcome another one or two.
小題1: How many Bank holidays are there mentioned(提到)in the passage?
小題2:. Are the banks open or closed during the Bank Holidays?
小題3:. Why is August Bank Holiday probably the most popular one of the year?
小題4:. What is the time people suggest for another Bank Holiday?
小題5:. Do you think October would be a good month for Bank Holiday?

Have you ever done something foolish and it made you feel so embarrassed(尷尬的)?
Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn.I went to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home from the shop,it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box because I didn’t have an umbrella.It was raining so heavily that I had to stay in the phone box until it stopped.
A few moments later,I saw a young man walk up to the phone box,wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain,so I picked up the phone and pretended(假裝) I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away,but he didn’t. He just waited in the pouring rain,and I acted as if I was deep in conversation.
Luckily,the rain stopped after about ten minutes.“Okay,Mum,” I said loudly into the phone,“I’ll see you later. Bye!” I put the phone down, picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box. “I’m sorry I took so long.” I said to the man.
“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone,” he answered, smiling.“I’ve just come to repair it. There is something wrong with it, you see .” I felt myself go red in the face and I hurried away with my head down,feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!
