Read the following story and choose suitable sentences for Haw to fill in the blanks（空白處）.

A. When you stop being afraid，you feel good！

B. Moving in a new direction helps you find new cheese（奶酪）.

C. Imagining yourself enjoying your new cheese leads you to it.

D. The quicker you let go of old cheese，the sooner you find new cheese.

Haw looked down at the dark corridor（走廊）and was aware of his fear. He began to imagine all kinds of frightening things that could happen to him.

Then he laughed at himself. He realized his fears were making things worse. He moved in a new direction. He kept going，even though he did not know what would happen.

To his surprise，Haw started to enjoy himself more and more. "Why do I feel so good？" he wondered. Before long，he knew why he felt good.

He stopped to write again on the wall：1.

Now he felt the cool fresh wind. He took in deep breaths and felt energetic. Haw hadn't felt this way for a long time.

To make things even better，Haw started to paint a picture in his mind again. He saw himself sitting in the middle of all his favourite cheeses. He saw himself eating many cheeses he liked. and imagined how much he would enjoy them.

The more clearly he saw the image（圖像）of himself enjoying new cheese，the more real it became. He could sense that he was going to find it.

He wrote：2.

Then he raced through the corridor with greater strength. Before long，he found a cheese station and became excited as he noticed some new cheese near the entrance（入口）. He ate most of it and put a little in his pocket to share with Hem.

He entered the cheese station，but he found it was empty. Someone had already been there and had left only a little new cheese. He realized if he had moved sooner，he would very likely have found a good deal of new cheese here. Haw decided to go back and see if Hem was ready to join him.

Before leaving，he wrote on the wall：3.

When our flight left the Orlando airport that Friday morning，we were a happy group. After the plane took off，it was clear that something was wrong. The plane was bumping up and down. Many travelers，including me，thought it was just a small problem.

However，we did not remain calm for long. Minutes later，our plane began going down quickly. Then suddenly，the plane climbed higher but that didn't help. The pilot soon made an announcement（通告）.

"Our hydraulic（液壓）system has failed. We will be returning to the airport. Fuel（燃料）will be dropped from the airplane. We want to have as little on board as possible in the event of a bumpy landing.”

All around，people cried and screamed. Then，I heard a calm voice，speaking peacefully. A mother was talking to her little daughter.

A picture came into my mind of another little girl who had recently survived a terrible plane crash. Her mother had put her own body over the little girl's to protect her. The mother died. The child was told over and over again that it had not been her fault（過錯）that her mommy had gone away. I hoped this situation would not end the same way The mother said，"I love you so much. Do you know for sure that I love you more than anything？"

"Yes，Mommy，"the little girl said

"And remember，no matter what happens，that I love you always. And that you are a good girl. Sometimes things happen that are not your fault. You are still a good girl and my love will always be with you."

Then the mother put her body over her daughter's and prepared to crash. Luckily，the landing was safe at last. I have been deeply impressed by the mother's voice since then.

Earlier this month，Goldman Sachs，the 150-year-old company，said that the time was right "to move to flexible（靈活的）clothing rules"

The move toward flexible workplaces began in the 1990s when companies started introducing "casual（隨意的）Fridays". The idea became widely accepted with the rise of technology companies like Amazon and Facebook and their leaders. Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg is famous for wearing blue jeans and a gray T-shirt. Wall Street companies have had to change as they compete with technology companies for young workers. Goldman Sachs is one of the last big Wall Street companies to change its clothing rules.

Talk of the move to flexible clothing rules is often about what men wear. That's because the banking industry has mostly male leaders. Ariel Schur，head of ABS Staffing Solutions，told the Associated Press she gets more questions from men nowadays about what to wear for job interviews and meetings. However，those kinds of questions have been asked by women for a long time. "Guys have always just been able to wear the same suit，change their ties and shirt，"Schur said.

So，what is acceptable to wear at the office these days？

"This is pretty much what we wear. "said Ed Silhan，who works for an advertising technology company，wearing black jeans and boots as he spoke to an AP reporter in New York's Midtown Manhattan. "Flip flops（人字拖），or trainers are also acceptable." he added.

The "midtown uniform"—slacks（寬松長褲），button—downed shirt and fleece vest（羊毛背心）—has become a refuge for men who work in U. S. offices.

"That's probably a lazy method，"said Bossola of The Need Supply Co. "The worst possibility is that next Monday at Goldman Sachs，workers all wear the same. The best case is that they make an effort to create a set of clothing that works for their industry."

1.The word "refuge" in Paragraph 6 probably means "a _________choice”.

A.wise B.wrong C.safe D.popular

2.The writer mainly wants _________.

A.to describe how Goldman Sachs change its clothing rules

B.to introduce the changes of clothing rules in U. S. companies

C.to discover why many companies make clothing rules less strict

D.to advise male workers to create clothes specially for their industry

3.What can we learn about male workers？

A.Male workers are all leaders in the banking industry

B.Male workers wearing the "midtown uniform" are lazy.

C.Male workers are advised to wear the same suit every day.

D.Male workers have more questions about clothes than before.

4.What can we infer（推斷）from the passage？

A.Goldman Sachs is the oldest Wall Street company.

B.Wearing properly in companies is easier for women.

C.Young workers prefer to work in more casual clothes.

D.The move toward flexible workplaces began in the 1990s.
