When I walked into McCarley’s Bookstore in Ashland, Ore, I began to scan titles on the shelves. The man behind the counter, Mac McCarley, asked if I’d like         . I said yes because I needed to         for college.
I worked after school and during summers, and the job helped pay for my freshman year of college. I would work many other jobs: I made coffee in the Students’ Union         college and even made maps for the US Forest Service. But selling books was one of the most         
One day a woman asked me for         on cancer. She seemed fearful. I showed her everything we had in         and found other books we could         . She left the store         , and I’ve always remembered the         I felt in having helped her.
Years later, as a         in Los Angeles, I heard about an immigrant （移民）child who was born with his thumb attached, weblike, to the rest of his hands. His family couldn’t         a corrective operation, and the boy lived in         , hiding his hand in his pocket. I         
   my boss to let me do the             . After my story was broadcast, a doctor and a nurse called,         to perform the operation for free.
I visited the boy in the recovery room after the operation. The first thing he did was hold up his         hand and said , “Thank you.” I felt a sense of reward.
At McCarley’s Bookstore I always sensed I was working for the         , not the store. Today it’s        . NBC News pays my salary, but I feel as if I work for the        , through my “Today” show, helping them make        of the world.

第一節(jié) 閱讀表達(dá)（共5小題；每小題3分，滿分15分）
【1】We're increasingly living in a world where physical activity has stopped being a day-to-day part of our lives. We have domestic appliances to wash and dry for us and cars to get us around, and with the decline in manual labour many of us spend our working day sitting at desks.
【2】 In fact, there's a well-established theory that moderate physical activity is, for most people, the best way to better health. If you start off doing too much too soon, you'll get fed up and stop, get injured or even make yourself ill. So what's the right amount of exercise to get fit and healthy without injuring yourself in the process?
【3】 According to the government, only 37 per cent of men and 24 per cent of women take enough exercise to get any benefit from it. ____________obesity, heart disease and other life-limiting conditions, the chief medical officer (the government's top doctor) recommends the following:
【4】 Adults should do a minimum of 30 minutes moderate-intensity physical activity, five days a week.
【5】You don't have to do the whole 30 minutes in one go. Your half-hour could be made up of three ten-minute bursts of activity spread through the day, if you prefer.
【6】The activity can be a 'lifestyle activity' (in other words, walking to the shops or taking the dog out) or structured exercise or sport, or a combination of these. But it does need to be of at least moderate intensity.
【7】People who are at specific risk from obesity, or who need to manage their weight because of a medical condition, need 45-60 minutes of exercise at least five times a week.
【8】 For bone health, activities that produce high physical stresses on the bones are necessary 76. What is the purpose of the passage? （within 12 words） 
___________________________________________________________________________

Day by day, we neglect the fact that physical activity is an important part of our lives.

My nephew’s 10-year-old son came for a visit one hot, July weekend. I persuaded him to 　　inside and joined him in a game. After　　for an hour, I suggested that we relax for a while. I fell into my favorite recliner（躺椅）to let my neck muscles relax. He'd slipped out of the room and I was catching a few 　　moments of peace and quiet.
"Look，Alice,” he said　　as he ran over to the chair where I was sitting "I found a kite. Could we go outside and 　　it?"
Glancing out a nearby window, I noticed it was　　outside. “I'm sorry, Tripper,.” I said, sad to see his 　　eyes. "The wind is not blowing today. The kite won't fly.”
The　　10-year-old replied, “I think it's 　　 enough. I can get it to fly,” he answered as he ran out to the back door 　　.
Up and down in the yard he ran, pulling the kite 　　to a small length of string. He ran back and forth，as hard as his ten year-old 　　 would carry him, looking back　　at the kite behind. After about ten minutes of 　　determination, he came back in.
I asked, "How did it go?"
"Fine，”he said, not wanting to admit 　　．“I got it to fly some”
As he walked past me to return the kite to the closet shelf, I heard him say under his breath, "I guess I'll have to wait for the　　．”
At that moment I heard another Voice speak to my 　　. "Alice, sometimes you are just like that. You want to do it your way 　　waiting for the Wind.”
And the voice was right. We usually want to use our own efforts to 　　what we want to do. We wait for the Wind only after we have done all we can and have exhausted（耗盡）our own　　 ．We must learn how to rely on Him in the first place!

A city child’s summer is spent in the street in front of his home, and all through the long summer vacations I sat on the edge of the street and watched enviously the other boys on the block play baseball. I was never asked to take part even when one team had a member missing—not out of special cruelty, but because they took it for granted I would be no good at it. They were right, of course.
I would never forget the wonderful evening when something changed. The baseball ended about eight or eight thirty when it grew dark. Then it was the custom of the boys to retire to a little stoop(門(mén)廊) that stuck out from the candy store on the corner and that somehow had become theirs. No grownup ever sat there or attempted to. There the boys would sit, mostly talking about the games played during the day and of the game to be played tomorrow. Then long silences would fall and the boys would wander off one by one. It was just after one of those long silences that my life as an outsider changed. I can no longer remember which boy it was that summer evening who broke the silence with a question: but whoever he was, I nod to him gratefully now. “What’s in those books you’re always reading?” he asked casually. “Stories,” I answered. “What kind?” asked somebody else without much interest.
Nor do I know what drove me to behave as I did,for usually I just sat there in silence, glad enough to be allowed to reain among them; but instead of answering his question, I told them for two hours the story I was reading at the moment. The book was Sister Carrie. They listened bug-eyed and breathless. I must have told it well, but I think there was another and deeper reason that made them to keep an audience. Listening to a tale being told in the dark is one of the most ancient of man’s entertainments, but I was offering them as well, without being aware of doing it, a new and exciting experience.
The books they themselves read were the Rover Boys or Tom Swift or G.A.Henty. I had read them too, but at thirteen I had long since left them behind. Since I was much alone I had become an enthusiastic reader and I had gone through the books-for-boys series. In those days there was no reading material between children’s and grownups’books or I could find none. I had gone right fromTome Swift and His Flying Machine to Theodore Dreiser and Sister Carrie. Dreiser had hit my young mind, and they listened to me tell the story with some of the wonder that I had had in reading it.
The next night and many nights thereafter, a kind of unspoken ritual (儀式) took place. As it grew dark, I would take my place in the center of the stoop and begin the evening’s tale. Some nights, in order to taste my victory more completely, I cheated. I would stop at the most exciting part of a story by Jack London or Bret Harte, and without warning tell them that that was as far as I had gone in the book and it would have to be continued the following evening. It was not true, of course; but I had to make certain of my new-found power and position. I enjoyed the long summer evenings until school began in the fall. Other words of mine have been listened to by larger and more fashionable audiences, but for that tough and athletic one that sat close on the stoop outside the candy store, I have an unreasoning love that will last forever.

During the first week of his stay, he went out one day to do some shopping. He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.
