If you asked high school girls to name their favorite sports, most would probably say basketball or volleyball. I happen to be one of the few girls who would    1   : surfing (冲浪运动). But isn't that a boy thing? Some people    2   . Most certainly not.

    I started surfing about five years ago and    3   in love with the sport on the very first day. Riding that first    4    was the best feeling I had ever experienced. When I try to   5  surfing with other things, I find it very difficult because, in my    6   , there's nothing like it. It involves (牵涉到) body,    7   , and soul. There's sand between my toes and cool, salt water all 8    us. The feeling I get when I'm surfing across that    9   , becoming one with the 10   , is like I'm weightless.

    The one thing I can    11    from surfing and not any other sport is endless challenge (挑战). You can never be the “best surfer” because the ocean    12    an uncountable variety of waves that nobody can ever master. The variations of surfing styles are wonderful. Some surfers are free and flowing; others are very aggressive (活跃有力的) and    13   . All of these things attract me to surfing and make it    14    from any other sport.

    I've    15    to tell every girl I know to do something that people don't think girls can do. It's part of being human to advance to new    16   , so shouldn't it be expected that girls should step up and start    17    the limits of things boys and men used to dominate (主宰)?

    There're women    18    side by side with the President of our country, so why not side by side with the boys    19    the football team or out in the water surfing? Give girls a chance to    20   , and they will.

    Located about 93 million miles    4    the earth, the sun has a diameter (直径) that is nearly equal to 109 of our ear ths    5    up like a row of beach balls, and a mass that is about 330 000 times the mass of the earth.

    The sun is the original source of nearly all our    6   . It is mostly made of hydrogen (氢), 7    it also contains nearly every other kind of atom (原子 )that exists on the earth. The sun obtains its energy from a process of fusion (溶解) in which hydrogen atoms are changed into helium (氦) atoms    8    extreme heat and pressure. This process creates a great noise, but we cannot hear it because    9    does not travel through empty space.

    Our sun is not even    10    large or bright compared to    11    stars. Stars vary in size from smaller than the earth to large enough to hold a good part of our solar system (太阳系)! The    12    of a star shows its temperature. A star may be red, yellow, white, or blue.

    The nearest star is 4.3 light years from the earth. A light year is the    13    light travels in one year, or about    6    million miles. The    14    stars are billions of light years away. Some are    15    far away that if they were to blow up today, their light would continue to be seen from the earth    16    a million years! Our sun is part of a great galaxy (星系) of    30  billion stars called the Milky Way.    17  , there are billions of galaxies within    18    of our telescopes and countless billions beyond. The bigness of space quite __19  human comprehension. How exciting it is to live in an age    20    human beings have begun to explore that space.

    Some of his wheat was lying flat on the ground. The    2    wheat formed a circle about six meters    3   . Around this circle were four smaller circles of flattened wheat. The five circles were in a formation    4    five dots on dice.

    Three years later a farmer who lived nearby discovered similar circles in one of his fields. These circles were    5    —nearly 15 meters across.

    That same year, yet another English farmer discovered three circles of flattened wheat on his land—one large circle    6    two small circles.

    During the    7    years, farmers in England found the mysterious circles in their fields more and more often. In 1987 they discovered 50 circles; in 1988, 98 circles; and in 1989, 270 circles.

    The circles are called “crop circles” because they appear in fields of grain—usually wheat or corn.

    The grain in the circles lies flat    8    but is never broken: it continues to grow horizontal, and farmers can later    9    it.

    Many people believe that beings from outer space are making the circles. Some think that the beings are trying to communicate    10    us from far away and that the crop circles are messages from them.

       11    believe that the beings have actually landed on earth and that the circles are  12 left by their spaceships. Several times people reported    13    strange flying objects near fields where crop circles later appeared.

    Scientists who have studied the crop circles say they're not sure what    14    them. They 15    several theories.

    For example, some scientists say that “microburst” of wind create the circles. A microburst is a    16    rush of cool air—the same downward rush of air that sometimes causes an airplane to crash.

    Other scientists say that forces    17    the earth cause the circles to appear.

    Experts from    18    have studied them. What do the experts    19    the crop circles? They say what Lan Stevens said: “They don't know how    20    these things.”

Every boy and girl in the audience   8   , “I could sing like that.” 9   rock has become a new kind of religion, a new form of worships. Young people are   10   to pay to worship a rock star because it is a way of worshiping   11 .

    How do the rock stars use their money? What do they do when the money stars  12 in like water?

    So I did as he asked. I got good 4 , went to Harvard and in 1971 was accepted into a graduate program there that 5 me to study law and business at the same time.

    In my second year of grade school, I began to realize that I’d 6 done anything but go to school. So, at 24 I decided to drop out. 7 , my parents didn’t think this was a great idea. But I felt strongly that you can’t 8 till you’re 65 to do what you want in life.

    I packed my stuff into a bus and headed to Colorado to become an instructor at Outward Bound. Three years later, I was ready to go back to 9. I finished Harvard and got a highly paid job at the Boston Consulting Group. Still, after working there five years, I 10 . Is this what I want to be doing when I’m 50? At that time, Americans paid 11 money of beer in low quality. Why not make good beer for 12 ? I thought.

    I decided to give up my job to become 13 When I told Dad, he was 14 , but in the end he 15 me. I called my beer Samuel Adams, 16 the brewer and patriot (爱国者) who helped to start the Boston Tea party. 17 I sold the beer direct to beer drink to get 18 out. Six weeks later, at the Great American Beer Festival, Sam Adams Boston Lager (淡啤酒) won the top prize for American beer. In the end I was destined (注定) to be a brewer. My 19 to the young is simple: Life is very 20 , so don’t rush to make decisions. Life doesn’t let you plan.

    A famous actor in a 6 successful play was once cast in the role of an aristocrat 7 had been imprisoned in Bastille for twenty year. In the last act, a gaoler (监狱长、看守) would always come on to the stage with a letter which he would hand to the prisoner. 8  the noble was expected to read the letter at each 9 , he always insisted that it should be written out in full.

    One night, the gaoler decided to play a joke 10 his colleague to find out if, after so many performances, he had managed to learn the 11 of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play and revealed (使显露) the aristocrat sitting alone behind bars in his dark cell. Just then, the gaoler 12 with the precious letter in his hands. He entered the 13 and presented the letter to the aristocrat. But the copy he gave him had not been written out in14 as usual. It was simply a blank sheet of paper. The gaoler looked on eagerly, 15 to see if his fellow actor had at last learnt his lines. The noble stared at the blank sheet of paper for a few seconds. Then, squinting (眯着眼看) his eyes, he said,“The light is 16 . Read the letter to me.”And he promptly handed the sheet of paper to the gaoler. 17 that he could not remember a word of the letter either, the gaoler replied,“The light is indeed dim, sir. I must get my 18 ”With this, he hurried off the stage. Much to the aristocrat's 19 , the gaoler returned a few moments later with a pair of glasses and the 20 copy of the letter which he proceeded (继续进行) to read to the prisoner.
