I met Billy the last summer before college. He was handsome and his irreverence（玩世不恭）was  36 to me. We liked each other the first instant we met．37 ，I was a straight Astudent and my parents had high hopes for me to  38  an Ivy League（常春藤聯(lián)盟）school.Billy did not 39 into the equality. We were in love nevertheless-that 40 teenage love．I still remember we had a plan for prom（舞會）．It was understood that we had  41 about where we would dance and drink and party together.
This meant one thing to my parents-panic．And it grew as the  42 letters began to roll in. Of the eleven schools I applied to，nine accepted me. And one of them was Brown University-the Ivy League college   43 in historic Providence，Rhode Island．
There was no  44 that I was drawn to Brown，but Billy (who had joined the army）was  45 down south and I had offers   46 for me there，too. I was torn between my love for him and my family  47 ．
One week   48  the start of school，my mother had a talk with me．She said I was eighteen years old and I had a  49 to make---one that went  50 beyond the choice of  51 to attend university.
In August，I  52 and drove north to Providence．It took several months to  53 that my life was moving on in a way that was completely different from Billy's，Brown changed my life，opening doors and giving me the  54 I now use to think，to learn and to write. Life is always about  55 it seems，and the older I get，the more I understand this. Still，there are times when I think of Billy because he taught me about love．

A man claiming to be a pastor(牧師) apparently tried to stiff a waiter on a tip, explaining that his work for God allowed him not to leave one.
A photo of the receipt, posted to Reddit.com, shows a bill for $34.93 with an automatic 18 percent gratuity(小費) (or $6.29) added above a blank space for an additional tip.
“I give God 10%,” the diner wrote on the receipt, scratching out the automatic tip. “Why do you get 18?” He then wrote “Pastor” above his signature, and an emphatic “0” where the additional tip would be. (The automatic gratuity, however, had already been added to the total.)
The Reddit user who submitted the image explained in the comments section that the receipt was part of a total bill for a party of 20, which is why the gratuity was automatically added.
“Parties up to eight ... may tip whatever they’d like, but larger parties receive an automatic gratuity," the server wrote. "It’s in the computer; it’s not something I do.”
The server added: “They had no problem with my service, and told me I was great. They just didn’t want to pay when the time came.”
Scribbling(亂涂) notes on receipts has become something of a trend. Earlier this month, the manager of a North Carolina Red Robin surprised an overdue pregnant woman by comping her meal.
“Once seated, a manager came up to us and started talking,” the woman's husband told Consumerist. “He was extremely friendly and jokingly asked my wife if this was her last meal before heading to the hospital.”
When the check came, a note from the manager next to her portion of the bill read: “MOM 2 BEE GOOD LUC.”
“It was a pleasant surprise and made my tired-of-being-pregnant wife a little more cheery,” the man said.
小題1:What did the pastor mean by saying, “I give God 10%. Why do you get 18?”
A．He was bargaining with the waiter.
B．He didn’t mean to pay the gratuity at all.
C．God gave him the privilege not to pay a gratuity.
D．The gratuity had already been paid by his friends.
小題2:What do you learn from the article?
A．The pastor paid ten percent gratuity of the meal to God.
B．A party of six diners can choose whatever gratuity they want to pay.
C．According to the husband, the wife enjoyed the process of being pregnant.
D．The pastor paid $34.93 in total for the meal.
小題3:What does the underlined word “stiff” mean?
A．amuseB．abuseC．persuadeD．fail to pay

My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates. We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other's handwriting at a glance. Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts．From second grade on, a small group started harassing （騷擾） two or three of the others．I was one of those two or three, though I didn't know why．In most cases when children get picked on, they aren't good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race．But in my class, we all read too much and didn't know how to play sports．We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other's race．This is what was so strange about my situation．Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group．But in my class, large differences did not exist．It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them．
The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around．If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent．Sometimes, someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense．
There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I．She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes．One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn't want to miss．We walked to a comer of the playground．Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl's diary．
I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others．Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last．Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt．If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can't honestly be sure．
小題1:The author was made an outcast because ____．
A．she couldn't play sports as well as others
B．her classmates needed to find an outcast her
C．her classmates found her clothes funny
D．family belonged to a minority group
小題2:How was the author treated as an outcast?
A．She was refused to approach others．
B．No one responded to her talking．
C．She was often the target of teasing．
D．Her diary was often made public．
小題3:What did the author do to the girl mentioned in Paragraph 3?
A．She showed great sympathy with the girl．
B．She found more materials about the girl for jokes．
C．She stopped the others from hurting the girl．
D．She joined others in making fun of the girl．
小題4:What does the passage intend to tell us?
A．Everyone is likely to become an outcast．
B．We shouldn't hit a person when he is down．
C．Everyone has a desire to be accepted by others．
D．One should pay somebody back in his own way．

When responding to any adult, you must answer by saying “Yes ma’am” or “No, sir.” Just nodding your head is not acceptable.
Because I grew up in rural North Carolina, this rule comes    36   to me, and it seems the obvious choice to come first. If you want children to respect you, you have to let them know    37 . Simply telling them you want them to address you by saying “sir” lets them know   38     you expect them to treat you. I also tell my students it’s a very useful tool when    39  with adults, and furthermore it also     40   handy for any adult interacting with another adult. Case in point: I was   41    the phone recently with the phone company discussing the inaccuracies(差錯) of my    42  . The lady I spoke to was not 43   and seemed annoyed.    44  , in the midst of the conversation, I threw in a “yes, ma’am,” and her entire  45  changed. She became far more helpful and   46  to deal with, and she   47  cutting my bill in half.
Some of my students in Harlem were to be   48  for a chance to attend a high-rated junior high school. The school only had thirty openings for the following year, and twelve of my students were   49  the many kids across the city who applied for the spots. I practiced what the interview would be   50  with my students, and one main thing I stressed was, “  51  you say ‘yes ma’am’ or ‘no sir’ no matter what!” Weeks after the interviews, I was delighted to hear that all twelve of my students had been   52  . When I talked with the admissions director at the school, the main   53  he made over and over was how   54   my students were in their interviews. It seemed like just such a simple thing to do, but it gets   55  .

I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left   1 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other   2 ?
I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s,  3  children from different races and religions played and studied   4 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s   5  from Ismail’s.

We were nine when we became friends. During the school holidays, we’d   8 the countryside on our bicycles, hoping to   9  the unexpected. At times Ismail would accompany my family as we made a rare shopping trip to town. We would be glad of his   10 .
When I was twelve, my family moved to Johor. Ismail’s family later returned to their village, and I   11  touch with him.

If we can allow our children to be   18  without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be   19  their side through thick and thin. On such friendships are societies built and   20  we can truly be, as William Shakespeare once wrote,“we happy few, we band of brothers”.

Hank Viscardi was born without legs. He had—not legs but stumps(殘肢) that could be fitted with a kind of special boots, People stared at him with cruel interest. Children laughed at him and called him ‘Ape Man’ (猿人) because his arms practically dragged on the ground.
Hank went to school like other boys. His grades were good and he needed only eight years to finish his schooling instead of the usual twelve. After graduating from school, he worked his way through college. He swept floors, waited on table, or worked in one of the college offices.

“Scotty!” Mr. Brown, my Year 11 English teacher, called me by my nickname (綽號) across the classroom. His eyes were bright and a secret   36  was half hidden behind the beard.
Once he finished joking over my unbearable   37 , I realized he was going to read my story aloud to the class. I turned red, feeling at once both embarrassed and   38 . I had my very   39  reading audience! Though my classmates were a ‘passive audience’, it didn’t weaken my feeling of being   40 .
After that, I came to   41  those Year 11 English classes. Throughout school I had always studied hard and achieved well in my school subjects. But creative   42  was a passion, and it was not an assignment, but a way of understanding the world and of   43  my thoughts and feelings about events and attitudes.
Mr. Brown was the first to   44  me for my writing so openly. My scores were always 19/20 or 20/20. My stories were often read out to the class. He even   45  one with the respected Head of English teachers, which was the most   46  part that is impressed on my memory. But   47  that, he offered a belief in me that no other teacher had.
My school   48  often stated, ‘Candice is a quiet achiever.’ I thought it was meant as a(n)   49  for being hard-working. I was someone that no one really   50  before, but Mr. Brown managed to   51  all that by bringing me to the attention of the world. Though it was the relatively   52  world of school, it put the seed of belief in myself that some day I could be an   53  person rather than the person who faded into the background.
I   54  touch with my teacher long ago, as we do when we move away from the school system and enter life. I wish I could tell him now how much he   55  me.
