The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My belief began when I was just a kid, who 36 becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic（佣人）. Through her work, she observed that 37 people spent a lot more time reading than they 38 watching television. She announces that my brother and I 39 watch two to three pre-selected programs during the week. With our 40 time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and 41 written book reports to her. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later we realized her marks were a 42 . My mother was illiterate（文盲）.
When I entered high school, I was a 43 student, but not for long. I began to like fancy clothes. I wanted to 44 other guys. I went from an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from her various jobs and I 45 about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I 46 this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy the family food and pay the bills. With the money 47 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very 48 with that arrangement but once I got through allocating（分配）money, there was 49 left. I realized my mother was a financial genius（金融天才）to be able to keep the roof over our heads and any kind of food on the table, let alone buy 50 . I really realized my desire wasn’t going to get me 51 . Success requires intellectual preparation. I went back to my 52 and became an A-student again and eventually I 53 my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother’s story—a woman with 54 formal education who used her position as a parent to change the lives of her children. There is no job 55 than parenting. This I believe.

Percy's mysterious(神秘的) disappearance upset every body a great deal. Percy is a performer in a night-club and just before he was due to appear on the stage, it was discovered that he was not in his usual place. There was certainly good cause to worry because Percy is a dangerous snake and he is over six feet long.
The search for Percy lasted several days and a great number of people joined in. As Percy could not possibly have gone out into the streets, he must still be hiding somewhere in the club. The searchers found that some of the boards in Percy's room had rotted and there was a gap(间隙) in the floor. It seemed likely that Percy had slipped under the floor and then crept behind a wall where there was a nice warm central heating unit.
The manager of the club suggested that Percy might have found some mice behind the wall and eaten them. Since then he had probably curled round the warm pipes and gone to sleep. As a snake that has had a satisfying meal can sleep for several days continuously, a determined effort had to be made to get him out. The hot water was therefore turned off immediately and the temperature in the room fell to a few degrees above zero. But Percy, who has the reputation(名誉) of being a lazy creature, made no attempt to come out. The manager then tried something else. He placed a dish full of tasty delicacies(精美食品) near the broken floor-boards. Again Percy failed to appear. With the hot water turned off, it was decided that Percy must be freezing by now, so an electric fire was put into his room to encourage him to come in and warm himself. To help him make up his mind even more quickly, cold air was blown under the floor-boards. Even these measures did not succeed, so there was only one thing left to do. The next morning, the whole wall was carefully knocked down brick by brick so as not to frighten Percy with too much noise. The hot water pipes were gradually laid bare, but, to their astonishment, the searchers found no sign of Percy anywhere.
1．Why did Percy's mysterious disappearance upset everybody a great deal?
[ ]
A．He was an actor on the stage.
B．He was a dangerous snake.
C．He was only six feet long.
D．He was a performer in a night-club.

B．force Percy out
C．let Percy have a reputation
D．let Percy enjoy the meal
4．Cold air was blown under the floor-boards to help Percy to make up his mind to _____.
