In early 2007 I had bought tickets to a Christian concert for myself and two other family members, but later I decided to   36  my 4-year-old son along.
I couldn't find another ticket in the area we were sitting in, so I started   37  online for four tickets so we could all   38 . Imagine my surprise when the four   39  tickets I needed happened to be on the front row! Thinking it was a   40 , I tried again several times and each time the same tickets came up. I knew it had to be God, so after getting   41  the initial（最初的）shock I decided to   42  the front row tickets, which still left me   43  the three original tickets. Not knowing what to   44  with them, I asked around but did not have any   45 . Then my hus­band said two of his customers wanted to go to the same   46  but couldn't afford it.
We went to their house and they said they had a friend they wanted to take with them.   47 it turned out, this couple does a prison ministry and had been   48  this concert for quite a while, but even after offering to pay me I   49  and told them to continue working in the prisons teaching those men and women to become   50   people. This couple lost a   51  several years ago and listening to this music could    52  them in their healing process. The   53   of this particular concert was "Give It Away", and I thank God for the   54   to give this to them.
It turned out to be one of the best nights for all of us, and it was all   55  my 4-year-old boy wanted to hear the music as well.

第三部分：阅读理解（每题２分，共３０分）

Maria is a very fast runner. She has won many races put on by the factory in Russia where she works. She was asked how she was able to stay in such good shape（体型）. This was her answer.

“I’m in shape because of the way I spend my day. It begins at 5:30 in the morning. I jump out of bed to cook for my husband and iron（熨衣服） the clothes. Then I have to start running to work on time.

“I rush with a large bag in one hand and my four-year-old baby in the other. First， I stop at the school, hand my baby to the teachers, and then rush to work. After work I run back to the school to pick up my baby and then run to the market. Then I run home to start cooking supper-and then it takes time to feed them and get them all to bed. Then I start doing the washing so I can iron in the morning.

“My husband is soft because I have made life easy for him. He doesn’t hurry to and from work，and I have the table set when he gets home. He eats， puts on the television, sits down and reads the newspaper. And that’s why I’m in such good shape—and my husband isn’t.”
