Home on the way People need homes: children assume their parents’ place as home;boarders call school “home”on weekdays;married couples work together to build new homes;and travellers have no place to call “home”，at least for a few nights.

1.       ? Don’t they have the right to a home? Of course they do.

  Some regular travellers take their own belongings :like bed sheets,pillowcases and family photos to make them feel like home no matter where they are;some stay for long periods in the same hotel and as a result become very familiar with service and attendants;2.       .Furthermore,driving a camping car during one’s travels and sleeping in the vehicle at night is just like home -only mobile!

  And how about keeping relationships while in transit? 3.      some send letters and postcards,or even pho tos;others may just call and say hi,just to let their friends know that they’re still alive and well. People find ways to keep in touch. Making friends on the way helps travellers feel more or less at home.

4.        .

  Nowadays,fewer people are working in their local towns,so how do they develop a sense of belonging? Whenever we step out of our local boundaries,there is always another ^w homewaiting to be found.5.      ，we can make the place we stay at “home”.

   A. Hostels provide a clean safe place to stay while you are travelling the world

   B. others may simply put some flowers by the hotel window to make things more homely

   C. Backpackers in youth hostels may become very good friends,even closer than siblings (手足)

   D. So how about people who have to travel for extended periods of time

   E. No matter where you go in the world,hotels are there,too

   F. Some keep contact with their friends via Internet

   G. Wherever we are,with just a little bit of effort and imagination

 A： Welcome to the Zhoukoudian caves here in China. It is 1.        great pleasure to meet you students from England,who are interested in archaeology. You must be aware that it’s here 2.        we found evidence of some of the earliest people who lived in this part of the world. We’ve been excavating here for many years and... 

  SI: I'm sorry 3.        (interrupt) you but how could they live here? There are only rocks and trees.

  A： Good questions. You are an acute 4.       (observe) . We have found human and animal bones in those caves higher up the hill as well as tools and other objects. So we think it is 5.        (reason) to assume they lived in these caves,regardless of the cold.

  S2： How did they keep warm? They couldn’t have mats,blankets or quilts like we do. It must have been very uncomfortable.

  A： We’ve discovered fireplaces in the centre of the caves 6.      they made fires. That would have kept them warm,cooked the food and scared wild beasts away as well. We have been excavating layers of ash almost six metres thick,which 7.        (suggest) that they might have kept the fire burning all winter. We haven’t found any doors but we think they might have 8.       (hang) animal skins at the cave mouth to keep out the cold 9.        the freezing winter. 

  S3：10.       wild animals were there all that time ago?

  A：Well,we’ve been finding the bones of tigers and bears in the caves,and we think these were their most dangerous enemies. Now what do you think this tells us about the life of these early people?

  I met Mrs Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,1        she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason,she was impressed with my work and me.

  Mrs Neidl would ask me for my 2      . She wanted to know how I thought we should 3        things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 4        about stage design!But I slowly began to respond to her 5      . It was cause and effect： she believed I had opinions,so I began to 6        them. She trusted me to complete things,so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 7        I was,so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me,so I began to believe in myself.

  Mrs Neidl’s 8       that year was, “Try it. We can always paint over it 9        !” I began to take 10        I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing only things to be 11        upon. I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 12        create something. The shy,quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 13        in the programme as Student Art Assistant because of the time and efforts I’d put in. It was that year that I 14        I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design.

Being on that stage design team 15        Mrs Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought,but also I 16       a strong interest and a world I hadn’t known existed. She taught me not to 17        what people think I should do. She taught me to take chances and not to be 18      .  Mrs Neidl was my com forter when I was upset. Her 19        in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 20      .

  While I was waiting to enter university,I saw in a newspaper a teaching job 1.      (offer) at a school about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short of money and wanting to do something 2.        (use) , I applied. Fearing as I did so,that 3.        a degree and with no expe rience of teaching,my chances of getting the job were slim.

  However,three days later,a letter arrived,4.     (call) me to Groydon for an interview with the headmaster. It proved to be a long journey： a train ride to the Groydon stations ten-minute bus ride 5.       then a walk of at least a quarter of a mile. The headmaster 6.      opened the door. He was short and round.

The school is made up of only 7.      class of boys between 7 and 13 years old. I should have to teach all the subjects except art,which will 8.        (teach) by the headmaster himself. 1 should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at different places.

  Worse perhaps was 9.        idea of having to teach them on Saturday afternoon 10.        most of my friends would be enjoying themselves.
