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.

One windy spring day, I observed young people having fun using the wind to fly their kites. Multicolored creations of varying shapes and sizes   36  the skies like beautiful birds dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them under   37 .
Instead of blowing away with the wind, they arose against it to achieve great   38 . They __39  and pulled, but the restraining string and the clumsy tail kept them in tow (拖著), facing upward and against the   40 . As the kites struggled and trembled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be   41  !” They flew beautifully even   42  they fought the restraint of the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in getting   43  . “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly   44  the wind.”
Yet freedom from restraint simply put it at the   45  of an unsympathetic wind. It flew up and down to the ground and   46  in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerless in the dirt, to be blown   47  along the ground.
How much like   48  we sometimes are. The heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and restrictions,   49  to follow from which we can grow and  50  strength. Some of us resist the rules so hard that we never fly to reach the heights we might have   51 . We keep part of the rules and never   52  high enough to get our tails off the ground.
Let us each rise to the great heights,   53  that some of the restraints that we may be annoyed at are   54  the powerful force that helps us climb and   55  our goal.

A poet is in his words
The writings of William Shakespeare are today little read by young people in Britian. His young readership is limited to those who choose to study literature at university.
Still, in British schools, ____________ to study the poet, and when something is made compulsory, usually the result is boredom, resentment or both. Shakespeare, Chareles Dickens, Jane Austen－for many of the young, reading them can seem like being forced to eat medicine, especially when people are at an age when they are beginning to discover themselves and wanting to claim their independence.
This was my experience of the classics at school. But when I reached my late teenage years, I had a change of heart. Like every other young person since the dawn of time, the world confused me. I wanted answers, so I turned to books to find them.
I went on to take a PhD in literature and have taught the subject in universities in Britain and China. I have never regretted it. There is something in literature that people want, even if they don’t read books.
You see this in the popularity of TV and movie adaptations of great works, the recent film version of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice being a case in point. These popular adaptations may help increase people’s interest in the classic.
Reading a simplified Romeo and Juliet may perhaps lead to a reading of Shakespeare’s actual play. If that is the case then I welcome the trend. But do not make the mistake of thinking that it is the same thing. Shakespeare is a poet and his greatness is in his language. Reading someone else’s rewriting of his work is like peeling (剝皮) a banana, throwing away the fruit, and eating the skin. Take on the original. It really is worth the effort.                                                                             
小題1:Find a sentence from the text which can explain the title.
___________________________________________________________________
小題2:Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words to complete the sentence. (within 5 words)
___________________________________________________________________
小題3:Why are the adaptations of great works popular?
___________________________________________________________________
___________________________________________________________________
小題4:Do you think it necessary to read the original? Why? (within 30 words)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
小題5:Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph into Chinese.

Yesterday I was fortunate enough to find one more person in our world who is kind and caring. It was about 11:00 p.m.   21   my telephone rang. The caller ID showed the number of a Best Western Hotel.   22 , I would ignore this type of call. For some reason,   23  , I went ahead and answered.
The man on the other end asked if I knew Samual K. I   24  , as he is my 91 – year – old grandfather. Still not   25   why I was the one that had been called, the caller went on to tell me that I was the only   26   listed in the phone book. He said his name was Mason and that he was the   27  at the Best Western Hotel. The   28   was that grandpa had no money with him, and that he couldn’t   29   any phone numbers, so Mason called all over the state trying to get help.
Grandpa told me that he just wanted me to tell Mason that he is a (n)   30   guy and would pay the money once he got home. But the man  in charge there was   31  because my grandfather seemed to be   32  . He had been going somewhere else when he got on the wrong bus and   33  100 miles from home.
Not wanting to turn him away and not wanting the police to   34   him to the police station, Mason,   35  any normal duty, not only took the time to   36   me, but also charged just $ 39 so that grandpa could   37  safely and comfortably overnight. (The rooms normally rent for about $ 140!) Besides, he had the staff of that hotel all   38   him until my uncle was able to drive the 100 miles to pick him up!
So, it’s just one more piece of   39   that proves that there are still good people out there; wherever you go, there is always one who   40 .
