"Everything happens for the best, "my mother said whenever I faced disappointment, "If you   21   on, something good will happen some day."
Mother was right, as I discovered after graduating from college. I had   22  myself for a sports announcer. So I went to Chicago to knock on the door of every station and was 23  every time. In one station, a kind lady told me that  24 stations wouldn't employ a person without   25   since I had just graduated. "Go out in the town and find a small station that might give you a chance, "she said.
I returned to Dixon, where I had finished my high school education and had   26  in the school football team. My father said that our town had built a store and wanted a man to manage its sports department. The job sounded just  27  for me but I wasn't hired.
My disappointment had 28 as if by design. "Everything happens for the best," Mum  29  me. Dad lent me his car to look for a job. I tried WOC Radio Davenport. The program director told me they had already hired an announcer.   30  I left his office, I asked aloud,"  31 can a fellow get to be a sports announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?" Suddenly, I heard the director  32 . "Do you know anything about football? " Then he asked me to  33  an imaginary game. It was easy, and I did it without difficulty. The director was  34 and told me I would be broadcasting a game on the   35    Saturday.

It is   48  ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger  49  , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.

He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We   50  him and told him that we   51  have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were   52  , someone would help him."

Childish Voice

When I was a young child, my parents often told me that it was time to teach a man everything. I didn’t understand and wondered why   36   had such a big influence   37   a person. I thought I could grow up quickly to find it out as an adult.But now,   38   I come to knock at the door of adulthood, I feel   39  to express my own  40    on this saying. I know that I’m just a high school student with very   41   experiences. There are still many things   42   me in the future, yet I would like to express myself in a childish voice.

I once read this sentence: “To make this world a happy place to live, you’d better   43   yourself and your heart , instead of the whole world.” I was shocked. It made me think about life   44   . There are so many things around us that    45    our will. We can’t force life    46    our wishes. The earth won’t stop turning no matter whether we   47   it or not. What we can do is just to make ourselves  48   the world. I think we should learn to accept   49   life gives us, no matter whether it’s the spring sunlight or the winter snowfall, and try to be happy.

Deeply moved by the pop song Grandmother (by Jay Chou), I always try to  50   every pleasant thing in my life, but now I see I don’t catch most of the pleasant moments. It is more   51   that they slip by and leave you feeling   52   . I realize that I’m not just living   53   myself and that there are the others around me I should think of .They all pay attention to my growing up, even if it’s just a little progress.

Everyone has his or her own attitude towards life, be it positive or   54   .It doesn’t matter, I think. There is one   55   that should be obeyed—and that’s to make this world better.

Stricter Traffic Law Can Prevent Accidents

  From the health point of view we are living in a marvelous(不平凡的)age. We are immunized from birth against many of the most dangerous diseases. A large number of once fatal illnesses can now be cured by modern drugs and surgery. It is almost certain that one day remedies will be found for the most stubborn remaining diseases. The expectation of life has increased enormously. But though the possibility of living a long and happy life is greater than ever before, every day we witness the incredible slaughter of men, women and children on the roads. Man versus the motor-car ! It is a never-ending battle which man is losing. Thousands of people the world over are killed or horribly killed each year and we are quietly sitting back and letting it happen.

  It has been rightly said that when a man is sitting behind a steering wheel, his car becomes the extension of his personality. There is no doubt that the motor-car often brings out a man’s very worst qualities. People who are normally quiet and pleasant may become unrecognizable when they are behind a steering-wheel. They swear, they are ill-mannered and aggressive, willful as two-years-olds and utterly selfish. All their hidden frustrations, disappointments and jealousies seem to be brought to the surface by the act of driving.

  The surprising thing is that society smiles so benignly on the motorist and seems to condone his behaviour. Everything is done for his convenience. Cities are allowed to become almost uninhabitable because of heavy tragic; towns are made ugly by huge car parks; the countryside is desecrated by road networks; and the mass annual slaughter becomes nothing more than a statistic, to be conveniently forgotten.

  It is high time a world code were created to reduce this senseless waste of human life. With regard to driving, the laws of some countries are notoriously lax and even the strictest are not strict enough. A code which was universally accepted could only have a dramatically beneficial effect on the accident rate. Here are a few examples of some the things that might be done. The driving test should be standardized and made far more difficult than it is; all the drivers should be made to take a test every three years or so; the age at which young people are allowed to drive any vehicle should be raised to at least 21; all vehicles should be put through stringent annual tests for safety. Even the smallest amount of alcohol in the blood can impair a person’s driving ability. Present drinking and driving laws (where they exist) should be mad much stricter. Maximum and minimum speed limits should be imposed on all roads. Governments should lay down safety specifications for manufacturers, as has been done in the USA. All advertising stressing power and performance should be banned. These measures may sound inordinately harsh. But surely nothing should be considered as to severe if tit results in reducing the annual toll of human life. After all, the world is for human beings, not motor-cars.

The main idea of this passage is

A Traffic accidents are mainly caused by motorists.

B Thousands of people the world over are killed each year.

C The laws of some countries about driving are too lax.

D Only stricter traffic laws can prevent accidents.

What does the author think of society toward motorists?

A Society smiles on the motorists.   B Huge car parks are built in the cities and towns.

C Victims of accidents are nothing.  D Society condones their rude driving.

Why does the author say:’ his car becomes the extension of his personality?’

A Driving can show his real self.      B Driving can show the other part of his personality.

C Driving can bring out his character.  D His car embodies his temper.

Which of the followings is NOT mentioned as a way against traffic accidents?

A Build more highways.       B Stricter driving tests.

C Test drivers every three years. D raise age limit and lay down safety specifications.

The attitude of the author is

A ironical        B critical        C appealing     D militant
