It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam   36 to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was   37 .This was their last exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they would get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt  38 and able to take   39  of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a（n）  40 task, as the professor had said they could bringeither books or notes they wanted, requesting， only  41 that they did not talk to each other during the test.
  42 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they   43  there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed before the professor began to  44 the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor  45  the class.
He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   46 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students  47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained   48 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I   49 ,” he said. “I just want you to  50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the   51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively common in everyday  52 .” Then smiling, he   53 , “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just  54 .”
The years have  55  the name of the professor, but not the lesson he taught.

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We’re moving house.’; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn’t know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
小题1:How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?

A．Shocked.

B．Sympathetic.

C．Annoyed.

D．Upset.

小题2:In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie ______.

A．felt worried

B．was angry

C．ate a little

D．sat by the fire

小题3:Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ______.

A．saw her puppies	B．heard familiar barking
C．wanted to leave the author	D．found her way to her old home

小题4: The passage is organized in order of ______.

A．time

B．effectiveness

C．importance

D．complexity

Steve Jobs-A surprising success.
Nothing in the early years of Steve Job’s life suggested that he would be so successful. Born in San Francisco, the child of two students, he was adopted and grew up close to Silicon Valley. While at company-and he and his best friend Steve Wozniak got summer jobs there.
After finishing high school in 1972, Jobs studied at an expensive liberal arts college in Portland, Oregon but he dropped pout after one after one term. He grew his hair and a beard, slept on friends’ floors, and sometimes went to a Hare Krishna temple for free meals. Like many drop-outs at that Beatles-inspired time, his ambition was to visit a guru（古鲁[印度教的宗师或领袖]）in India, which he eventually did with a friend. When they got there, the guru had died.
At this point, Jobs has a limited education, and no obvious talents, apart from a notorious（臭名远扬）ability to talk. However, he did have a devoted friend who was an electronics genius. They were a great team. Without Jobs’ s ambition, high design standards, the ability to make deals and  great maketing skills-Wozniak might well have spent a quiet life designing hardware at HP.

A teacher of the English language told me that meksikatsi was not called meksikatsi, even though that is what   48 people have called that bird for thousands of years．Meksikatsi, he said, was really “duck”．I was very  49 with English．I could not understand it．First of all, the bird did not look like “duck”, and when it made a    50  , it did not sound like “duck”, I was even more   51  when I found out that the meaning of the verb “to duck” came from the bird．
As I   52 to understand English better, I understand that it made a great deal of    53   , but I never forgot that meksikatsi made a different kind of meaning．I   54  that languages are not just different words for the same things but totally different    55  , totally different ways of experiencing and looking at the world．
