For several weeks, nothing changed ．．．
By early autumn, the trees began to     their leaves．Small branches broke off and fell into the pools of the hills,    the flow of the shining water．One afternoon, someone noticed a slight yellowish-brown    in the river．A few days later, the water was much    .

Quickly , the    town committee called a special meeting．Realising their huge mistake in    , they rehired the old keeper of the river again, and within a few weeks, the river began to clear up．Swans and tourists came back again and new life returned to the small town in the Alps．

When I was about 6 years old I lived in Kenya. There was a lot of      and there were always street children on the roads asking for money. There was such a big divide between those children and me and I grew up very aware of being so     .
We had a wonderful and very kind driver, John, who had been working with my     for decades. He used to take us to and from school. One day while we were stopped in traffic a young street child, probably no more than 10 years old,     with a friendly greeting, “Hi, John!”
He      the car and shook John’s hand,. John then gave him a little bit of money and waved him off with a smile before we carried on our way to school.
I had watched the whole incident completely     . John had a large family himself and had to work very hard to make ends    .I knew that he didn’t have any spare money. So, of course, at that age I couldn’t understand why he would be giving money to the child.
“Who was that?” I asked. “My friend,” he replied. “I see him every morning on my way to work and I give him a little bit of money.”       Unable to comprehend, I asked, “Why do you have to give him money every morning?” John replied, “So he can use it to buy some food.”
It was probably at that    that I understood what kindness really was. A person who was in a difficult situation himself still found some money to     for a child who needed it. Even at the age of 6 that had such a great impact on me. I didn’t have any money, but I wanted to     too. So when my grandfather gave us a chocolate bar after dinner every Friday, I would          mine up so I could give it to John to give to his friend.

I was parked in front of the mall wiping off my car．I had just come from the car wash and was waiting for my wife to get out of work．
Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum．From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money．There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don't want to be bothered．This was one of those “don't want to be bothered times”．
“ I hope he doesn't ask me for any money,” I thought．
He didn't．He came and sat on the edge of the pavement in front of the bus stop but he didn't
look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus．After a few minutes he spoke．
“That's a very pretty car,” he said．
He was in rags but he had an air of dignity around him．His badly-grown blond beard kept more than his face warm．
I said, “thanks,” and continued wiping off my car．He sat there quietly as I worked．The expected plea（乞求） for money never came．As the silence between us widened, something inside said, “ask him if he needs any help．” I was sure that he would say “yes” but I held true to the inner voice．
“Do you need any help?” I asked．
He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget．We often look for wisdom in great men and women．We expect it from those of higher learning and achievements．I expected nothing but an outstretched dirty hand．He spoke the three words that shook me．
“Don't we all?” he said．
小題1:Why did the writer parked his car before the mall?
A．Because he wanted to pick up his wife．
B．Because he wanted to show off his car．
C．Because he wanted to wipe off his car．
D．Because he wanted to do some shopping．
小題2:Which has the closest meaning to the underlined word "bum" in Paragraph 2?
A．dustmanB．driverC．beggarD．robber
小題3:Which is the best title for this text?
A．A good husbandB．Didn't he need help?

I am Sergey Brin! I was born in Moscow. In 1979, when I was 5, my family immigrated to the United States. I remember that on my 9th birthday I got my first computer “Commodore 64”.
Later I graduated with honors in the University of Maryland in Mathematics and IT. The main field of my science research was the technologies used to collect data from unsystematic sources as well as large quantities of texts and science data. I was the author of dozens of articles in leading American academic magazines.
The greatest event in my life happened when in 1998 I was preparing for the defense（論文答辯）of my Doctor’s degree in Stanford University. There the fate made me meet Larry Page—a young computer genius. Larry belonged to the intellectual society. Larry and I quickly became friends when we worked together.
We were searching day and night on the Internet. We were finding a lot of information but with the feeling we still couldn’t find enough of what we were looking for. Naturally the idea for a search engine that would allow specific information to be found in the endless pool of data was born like it came to us. It wasn’t our plans but we gave up the education at the university. You know the next part, maybe we managed to turn an ordinary garage in Meplo Park, California, the U. S. A. into our first office, in which Google was born. With excitement we typed the name of the thing which we created with love on September 14th 1998—www. google.com. Now, after those years we bought this garage. As a symbol it will always remind us that everything is possible.

I made up my mind to drive to South Carolina to meet my friends in my used car. Though I had only been there once   36  and did not know the   37  very well. I was on the   38  after I had made some enquiries.
At Ashvelle, there was a crossroad where I could go on along the main road or I could take a short cut(小道，近路). The short cut was to   39  several hills and was dangerous, I hesitated (猶豫)for a little while and then chose the main road, for I wanted to be   40 .
Something strange happened   41  I drove a long way and found it was not the correct road that I wanted to   42 , but the hilly road I decided to avoid. I realized that it was at the   43  that I had made the   44  mistake. “What shall I do?” I asked myself. If I went back to take that road again, it would be very late by the time I got to Columbia. Thinking it   45  , I decided to go on. “If   46  people can go along this road, why can’t I?” I   47  myself.
The short cut, to my surprise, was not that   48 . In fact, it was only a very peaceful country road,   49  up and down two low   50  .There was   51  traffic. On both sides of the road, you could see trees, wild flowers, and   52  with cows and horses. My fear was   53  with the wind. Listening to the beautiful country music over my car stereo (立體聲), I drove on and   54  the scenery which was so quiet and so natural. Even my used car forgot to give me   55 . It was just in this light heartedness that I arrived at my destination. My friends, after they heard what had happened to me, all said it sounded like an adventure.
