A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with  26  lace edges. On the glass partition that  27  the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  28  and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer  29  .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  30  .

“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a  31  of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as  32  as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  33  here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something  34  like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  35  be considerate and refrain from littering.”

“So when I got a  36  to be a taxi-driver, I began  37  my idea into practice-to tidy and  38  the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  39  after a day's work, it always remains  40  .”

When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the  41  but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes  42  on others much more than on oneself.   43  you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you  44  the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful  45  for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

A few weeks after my first wife, Georgia, was called to heaven, I was cooking dinner for my son and myself. For a   11   , I had decided on frozen peas. As I was cutting open the bag, it   12   from my hand and crashed to the floor. The peas, like marbles(弹珠),   13   everywhere. I tried to use a broom(扫帚),     14   with each sweep, they just rolled across the kitchen.

For the next week, every time I was in the   15   , I found a pea——in a corner, or behind a table leg. They kept   16   . Eight months later I pulled out the refrigerator to clean behind it, and   17__   12 frozen peas hidden underneath．

    At the time I found those few remaining    18   , I was in a new relationship with a wonderful  __19   I’d met in a support group. After we married, I was reminded   20   those peas under the refrigerator, and realized that my   21   had been like that bag of frozen peas. It had scattered(分散). My wife had died; I was in a new city with a busy job, and with a son having trouble   22   his new surroundings and the   23   of his mother. I was a bag of spilled frozen peas; my life had come apart and scattered.

When life gets you   24   , when everything you know comes apart, and when you think you’ll never   25   , remember that it’s just a bag of scattered frozen peas. The peas can be   26   , and life will move on. You’ll find all the peas   27   , including the ones that are hardest to find. And when you’ve got them   28   you’ll start to feel whole again.

The life you know can break apart at any time. But you’ll have to   29   , and how fast you collect your peas depends on you. Will you keep scattering them around with a broom,   30    will you pick them up one by one and put your life back together?

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting （诱人的）apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater,  36  a bar of chocolate if given the choice,     37    , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the    38    he felt and the more he wanted that apple.

39   as high as he could, but even as his tallest  40  he was unable to touch It. He began to  41  up and down , as high as he could, at the  42  of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple .

He had tired everything he could think to do.   48   seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk   49  . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  50  , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he  51  like this , the more unhappy he became.

52   ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what get he wanted .He started to say to himself . This isn’t    53     ,I   don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well.There’s  54   more I can do to get the apple-that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  55  our feelings.

Students will need to use all of their skills in order to understand the reading selections in Reader’s Choice.
The book    11   many types of selections on a wide variety of topics. These selections provide practice on    12    different reading skills to get the  13   of the writer. They also give students   14   in four basic reading skills: skimming, scanning, reading for   15   comprehension, and critical reading. E:\Zujuan\WCFUpload\Upload\2010-05\06\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI00.140\www.canpoint.cn\
Skimming involves reading quickly through a text to get an overall idea of its contents. This kind of rapid reading is   16  when you are trying to decide if careful reading is desirable or when there is not    17    to read something carefully.
Like skimming, scanning is also quick reading. However, in this case the search is more    18    .To scan is to read quickly in order to find out specific information. When you read to find a    19   date, or number you are scanning. E:\Zujuan\WCFUpload\Upload\2010-05\06\Local Settings\Temp\Rar$DI00.140\www.canpoint.cn\
