    I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm      .
    "I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very    , I will do!"
    When it was possible, he would spend an hour     to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons,     himself to be the person in the speech.
    "In the beginning, the chickens looked so        , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been        by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me       . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more   and I had a better understanding of the exact      of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
    "You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He        believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not      much.' During the whole childhood,   I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which    my shy personality. I used to worry about being  at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept     in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared      , therefore I regained my   ."
    Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most   missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language    . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can     them by yourself.

    试题分析：
    一个从小口吃的男孩，因为有梦、想成为最好的传教士，刻苦练习，最终战胜了口吃并成为成功的传教士。
    小题1:A. sincerely：真诚地； B. impolitely：无礼地、粗鲁地； C. strangely：奇怪地；D. privately：私下地、背地里。题意：当男孩向亲朋叙说自己的愿望时，有些人粗鲁地打击他的热情。故B项正确。
    小题2:A. frequently：经常地、频繁地；B. fluently：流利地；C. obviously：明显地；D. completely：完全地、彻底地。题意：男孩相信自己能克服口吃的毛病，把话说流利。故B项正确。
    小题3:A. contribute to：为……做贡献、捐赠；B. see to：照看、照管； C. turn to：转向（某人寻求帮助） D. speak to：对着……说话。题意：为练习说话、克服口吃，男孩一有机会就会对着鸡群说话。故D项正确。
    小题4:A. imagine：想象；B. consider：认为、将……看做……；C. declare：宣布、宣称；D. find：发现。题意：男孩将鸡群看成活人，而将自己想象成演讲人。consider指“观点、看法”，涉及对某人或某事的评价。与题意不合。故A项正确。
    小题5:A. satisfied：满意的；B. pleased：高兴的；C. frightened；害怕的；D. surprised：惊讶的。题意：男孩刚开始对着鸡群说话时，鸡仔们自然的反应就是“害怕”。后来被逐渐吸引。“惊讶”、“满意”、“高兴”等都不能用来描述鸡仔们的反应。故C项正确。
    小题6:A. attracted：被吸引；B. beaten：被击败、沮丧；C. bothered：被打搅；D. influenced：被影响。题意：鸡仔们放下口中食物，倾听男孩的话，似乎被他有力而有效的语言所吸引。故A项正确。
    小题7:A. casually：随意地；B. carefully：仔细地；C. luckily：幸运地；D. cautiously：谨慎地。题意：从上文“放下口中食物倾听”可知，鸡仔们在“仔细地”听男孩说话。故选择B项。
    小题8:A. obvious：明显的；B. slight：轻微的；C. crucial：至关重要的；D. common：常见的。题意：练习的效果越来越明显。后文也说明，男孩最终摆脱了口吃的毛病，正是找到口吃原因以及练习的缘故。故A项正确。
    小题9:A. effect：效果、影响；B. benefit：好处、益处；C. cause：原因、起因；D. harm：害处、坏处。从下文可知：男孩的父亲专横，认为“男孩子可博学但不可多话”，整个孩提时代，只要他说话或发表看法，他父亲就会严厉批评他。这正是造成男孩口吃的原因。故C项正确。
    小题10:A. originally：起初；B. personally：亲自；C. doubtfully：犹豫不决；D. stubbornly：固执地。题意：男孩父亲固执地信奉“男孩子要博学少言”的古训。从男孩一说话父亲就严厉批评来看，其态度是坚定的。故D项正确。
    小题11:A. think：认为；B. listen：听；C. play：玩耍；D. talk：谈话、说话。古训：男孩要博学但不可多话。D项正确。
    小题12:A. since：因为；自从；B. before：在……之前；C. whenever：无论何时；D. unless：除非。题意：无论何时，只要男孩说话，都会受到父亲严厉指责。故选择C项。
    小题13:A. apply to：申请；B. lead to：导致；C. refer to：指；参看；D. owe sth. to sb.：欠某人某物。 题意：父亲的严厉指责“造成”男孩害羞的性格。B项正确。
    小题14:A. amaze：使 ……惊奇；B. study：研究、学习；C. laugh：大笑；D. look：看。题意：因为害羞，过去总是担心被人“嘲笑”，所以变成了口吃。laugh at sb. 嘲笑某人。C项正确。
    小题15:A. silent：沉默的；B. active：活跃的；C. noisy：吵闹的；D. upset：难过的。题意：因为害羞、怕人嘲笑，所以在人前保持沉默。A项符合题意。
    小题16:A. logically：逻辑上；B. typically：典型地；C. equally：平等地；D. naturally：自然地。题意：对着鸡仔说话，不必担心被嘲笑，口吃“自然”也就消失了。D项正确。
    小题17:A. strength：力量、力气；B. dream：梦想；C. confidence：自信；D. freedom：自由。题意：口吃消失了，自然获得了“自信”。C项正确。
    小题18:A. successful：成功的；B. intelligent：聪明的；C. modest：谦逊的；D. responsible：有责任心的、需负责的。男孩的梦想是成为传教士，他做到了，且很成功。他现在能言善辩，这与“聪明”、“谦虚”、“有责任心”等没有关系。故选择A项。
    小题19:A. gift：礼物、天资；B. barrier：障碍；C. ability：能力；D. study：学习。题意：看到他现在能言善辩，很难想象过去的他曾有语言障碍。B项符合题意。
    小题20:A. arrange：安排；B. exchange：交换；C. reduce：减少；D. change：改变。题意：遇到劣势，要相信自己能够“改变”劣势。D项正确。

    “What did you write, Mom?” I asked.

    My daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.
    A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”
    Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she does in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.
    What she said is true. Now my daughter Alisa continues to teach groups of girls in trouble in our community how to look within themselves for the positive and how to be their own person.
    Everything taken into consideration, we decided to meet the mother and the boy at a local bike shop. After meeting, the boy approached my car and my daughter gave him a hug and thanked him for his generosity. She told him that she had never been to a baseball game and that she was going to take her entire family, including myself, her dad, little sister, her cousin and an aunt who has brain cancer.
    We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.
    My daughter has always been the giver and now she and our family are the receivers and I can not tell you how incredibly honored we feel to be on the other end. What an incredible young man to have such a kind idea.

    A．Because Alisa is a disabled girl.
    B．Because he has a lot money to share.
    C．Because Alisa often helps those in trouble.

    “How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”
    “He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.
    “Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”
    Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.
    “And then?”
    “Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”
    “But who killed Norman?”
    “Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”
    There was a pause.
    小题1:What may have happened to Aryan?
    A．He was killed by poison.B．He was found missing.
    C．He was poisoned but saved.D．He went away with what he had found.
    小题2:What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?
    A．She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .
    B．She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.
    C．She followed the two men and found what they were doing.
    D．She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.
    小题3:What can we conclude from the above story?
    A．Abbess served the detective.
    B．Emma knows all the people mentioned.
    C．Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.
    D．Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.
    小题4:Which of the following might be true according to the above passage?
    A．Abbess hired Norman to fight against Aryan.
    B．Norman told everything to Emma.
    C．Aryan worked for the detective.
    D．All the people came from the capital.

    How often do you let other people’s nonsense change your mood? Do you let a bad driver, impolite waiter，rude boss，or an insensitive employee      your day?

My taxi driver slammed on his      ，slide sideways，and at the very last moment our car stopped and     the other car by just inches！The driver of the other car looked around and started       at us.
    My taxi driver just      and waved at the guy. And I mean he was really      . So I asked，"Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital！”   
    This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call “The Law of the Garbage Truck”. He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of      , full of frustration，full of anger，and full of disappointment. As their garbage       up，they need a place to dump it and sometimes they’ll dump it on     ．Don’t take it personally. Just smile, wave，wish them well，and move on.
    Believe me. You’ll be      ．Don’t take their garbage and      it to other people at work，at home，or on the streets. Life’s too short to wake up in the morning with     ．The mark of your success is how quickly you can refocus on what’s     in your life.

    So…Love the people who treat you right. Ignore the ones who don’t. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you       it！
    When you follow “The Law of the Garbage Truck”，you take back control of your life. You make room for the good by     go of the bad. Have a Garbage-Free Day！Have a marvelous，garbage-free day！The seeds you plant today       the harvest you reap tomorrow.

    The centenary（百年）of the birth of William Faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in September 1997. Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old time southern gentry(贵族).
    Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. Despite his interest in writing, he left Oxford High School, Mississippi, without graduating. After World War I, he entered the University of Mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to retired soldiers, although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada, and not entered combat(战斗).
    Faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel Sartoris in 1928. His fiction was centered for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County. The name is said to come from the Indian Chickasaw word meaning split land.
    In December 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. When he accepted it in Stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. As he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself”. He wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. Like playwright Tennessee Williams, Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of America. His achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was not only a frequent absentee but also reportedly failed to reach pass grades in English class. His collected short stories, novels, poems, and other writings form a legacy( 遗产) of literature which casts profound illumination(启发) on the special culture of the South, a culture which developed from a history and social circumstances that were always unique.
    From the focus on a fictional county, and by remaining true to his view of a close-knit but real society that reflected the greater world around him, Faulkner in the end fashioned a legend of the Deep South that is one of the major achievements of the 20th century literature.

    As a high school athletics coach, I gave a speech about football to students and parents, aiming at getting new team members :I talked  about how"everyone  can benefit from football. This year, a worried-looking couple approached me. Their son, who had a sickly childhood, really wanted to play football. They'd tried to talk him out of it, but he had his heart set on joining the team.
    When they told me his name , my heart sank. Michael was short and thin. He was a lonely kid and the constant target of other kids' jokes. I knew Michael would never make it. But so close to my  "football is for everyone"  speech,  I told them we could give it a try.
    On the opening day of practice, Michael was the first player on the field. We started a one-mile jog around the track. Repeatedly he fell, each time picking himself up. The same thing happened for weeks. But Michael put his whole heart into the training. Cradually, Michael gained strength both socially and physically. He began to laugh and most of the teammates became friendly. By the last week of practice Michael could run the mile without falling. He asked me to add a few more exercises he could work on his own. Soon ,  Michael ran the opening mile faster than anyone.
    One day after practice, the team captain, Steve, came up to me. He was talented but lazy.He was popular with students even though he could be heartless. Steve pointed to the field where Michael was jogging all alone and asked me why he was still out there. I told Steve to ask him. The next night, I was surprised to see Steve exercising right next to Michael.
    Finally our big game came-at first we were losing by twelve points. I could see that some kids  had already lost heart. But Michael was playing as hard as he could ,  begging the team to keep trying. Finally we won the game by one point in the final ten seconds.
    At our celebration dinner, we always gave a big award to the most productive player. Steve had scored the most points that season,  and everyone cheered as he received his award. " There's someone who deserves it more than I do,"  Steve said,  " Everything I accomplished,  and everything the team accomplished this season, is thanks to one person-Michael. " The entire team cheered as Steve turned the prize over to the player who had inspired them all.
