I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real    21 .
He had gone out of the study for some   22  , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see what was on his    23  . In the   24  was a small piece of paper on which were written the    25  “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物傳記)”.
A(n)   26  boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the  27   . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a    28   until the start of the exam so I could not  29   reading it.
When the headmaster     30  , I was looking out of the window.
I should have told him what had    31  then. It would have been so  32  to say: “I’m sorry, but I  33  the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to   34   it.”
The chance passed and I did not take it. I sat for the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t mean to cheat, but it was still    35   anyhow.
That was thirty-eight years ago when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before, nor have I tried to explain to myself why not.

The other day, I received a most unexpected message in response to one of my essays: I am so proud of you and all you have accomplished. I shared your opinion …
It was signed Margaret Leibfried, who was my English teacher — a teacher who appeared at a vital (關鍵) point in my life and helped me believe that I could become a writer.
Thirty years ago, I entered high school as an introvert (性格內(nèi)向的人) made all the more shy because I was the school’s only nonwhite student. I always felt in danger of being swept away by a sea of tall white athletes. I spent a lot of time alone, reading and writing stories, hoping to escape being teased.
Ms. Leibfried taught American literature and composition grammar, which involved the usual memorizing vocabulary, but also, thrillingly, reading novels.
Thrilling to me, that is. Many of my classmates expressed dislike for novels because they were “not real.” For once, I didn’t care what they thought. Ms. Leibfried seemed to notice my interest in both reading and writing, and she took the time to make me feel less shy; she even offered me reading suggestions, like one of her favorite novels, “The Bell Jar.”
That year’s big project was a book report, to be read aloud to the class. However, Ms. Leibfried suggested I do something “a little different.” Instead of a report, I chose a passage from “The Bell Jar” that I considered as the best to recite.
The morning of the presentations, I remember my hands sweating so badly as I walked to the front of the class that I kept my hands crossed, so I wouldn’t wipe them on my blouse.
When I finished, to my surprise, the class applauded. “Marie has picked out a particularly sensitive piece of writing and delivered it beautifully,” Ms. Leibfried said, smiling. I felt, maybe for the first time, confident.
小題1:What was the author’s high school life like before she met Ms. Leibfried?
A．Lonely.B．Exciting.C．Wild.D．Busy
小題2:In Paragraph 5, the author mainly tells us         .
A．how she cared what her classmates thought
B．when she became interested in “The Bell Jar”
C．why many of her classmates disliked novels
D．how Ms. Leibfried helped and encouraged her
小題3:Why did Ms. Leibfried ask the author to recite a passage in front of the class?
A．To test whether she had a good memory.
B．To make her earn the respect of her classmates.
C．To help deepen her understanding of “The Bell Jar.”
D．To guide her to build a good relationship with others.
小題4:How did the author feel when she made the presentation?
A．Comfortable.B．sad.C．Nervous.D．Confident.
小題5:What was the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A．To express her thanks to her teacher.
B．To discuss the issue of racial prejudice (偏見).
C．To introduce one of her favorite books.
D．To suggest the ways to gain confidence.

Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases（案例， 病例） with his  students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man's shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said．
The change in the patient's appearance couldn't have been more obvious．Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received．
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn't getting food he could eat．One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn't carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said．
"Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won't be-easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let's get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it．Or he'll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later．Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．
小題1:The patient had no desire to eat because __________________.
A．he was not hungry
B．he was seriously ill
C．he was given special meals
D．he was not satisfied with the food
小題2:According to the passage, we can conclude that __________________.
A．the patient’s native language was Spanish
B．the patient’s illness was caused by hunger
C．Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient
D．the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient
小題3:Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?
A．Cold.B．Considerate.C．Curious.D．Careless.
小題4:What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?
A．Doctors should be good at foreign languages.
B．Doctors should know their patients’ real problems.
C．Doctors should try to improve their medical skills.
D．Doctors should have a good relationship with their patients.

Last Sunday, I waked into the house in the afternoon to find my brother rushing around in a hurry. As soon as I took my coat off, my little brother placed a bunch of papers in my hands and asked me to fold them up so they could fit into an envelope as quickly as possible. He said it needed to get done quickly before it turned dark.
I was a little surprised that something could be so urgent on a Sunday. It wasn’t until I was halfway through that I actually looked at what I was folding. After I read it, it put the biggest smile on my face. It was a lovely letter to all the residents （居民）in my neighborhood. My brother was asking everyone to let him know if anyone needed help. He left his contact information and said that anyone that needed help should get in touch with him and he would figure something out. He also asked people to get in touch if they were able to help out.
London received an unusual amount of snow last week, and the city was completely under- prepared for it. So it was quite difficult to get anywhere. Only the major roads had been cleared, and smaller roads and pavements could be quite treacherous. There are a good number of old people in our little community. So my brother thought that the snow may have posed （造成）some difficulty for some of them, particularly because we live on a hill.
A few elderly people got in touch with him asking for help for things they needed. One of them was especially grateful because his caregiver couldn’t make it. To our surprise, he got more responses from people offering to help. Then he received help from people who wanted to help. Everyone was really touched and wrote to my brother wonderful email. One of our neighbors wrote email saying that although she wasn’t able to help, she was “very proud of having a neighbor like him who puts other people’s interests first.”
小題1:The author’s brother wrote the letter to _______.
A．a(chǎn)sk for help from his neighbors
B．give a hand to those in need of help
C．require his neighbors to clear the snow
D．raise money for the old people in his community
小題2:What can we learn from the text?
A．Few people were willing to help out.
B．The snow was unexpectedly heavy.
C．Most residents in the community are elderly people.
D．The community was completely cut off from the outside world.
小題3:The underlined word “treacherous” in Paragraph 3 probably means “_______”.
A．dirtyB．dangerousC．safeD．crowded
小題4: One of their neighbors sent email to the author’s brother to ________.
A．express thanksB．lend a hand
C．show appreciationD．a(chǎn)sk for help

Even 38 per cent of dog owners admitted to relying more on their PC than on their dog, although 36 per cent disagreed.
And 71 per cent of 18 to 24-year-old dog owners said they relied more on their computer．

It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch office on the West Side. I had come to   36  a checking account. The only officer on   37  was a fortyish black man, standing   38  a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I think I was especially   39  of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a   40  in a West Side bank.
The boy continued to   41  my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and   42  an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I   43  any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.
“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not   44  to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.
Suddenly I noticed the account had a series of small deposits and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you   45  that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked   46 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very   47 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting   48 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come in here and   49 .” The boy looked destroyed.   50 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got   51 .” I couldn’t believe what this idiot was saying. “We were   52  this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲詐) this boy for more than a month. The other guy was   53  him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was   54  too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n)  55  today."
“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”
“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”
