The reporter asked Schwarzenegger,“    49    you've retired from body building, what do you plan to do next?” Schwarzenegger answered very calmly and   50 : "I’m going to become the No. 1 movie star in Hollywood. ”The reporter was  51  and amused at Schwarzenegger's plan. At that time, it was very hard to    52   how this muscle-bound bodybuilder, who was not a     53   actor and who spoke poor English with a strong Australian accent, could ever   54    to be Hollywood's No. 1 movie star!
So the reporter asked Schwarzenegger    55   he planned to make his dream come true, Schwarzenegger said, “I'll do it the same   56   I became the No.1 bodybuilder in the world. What I do is create a vision of who I want to be, then I start living like that person in my   57   as if it were already true.” Sounds almost childishly  58  ,doesn't it? But it    59   !

Johnny     37    . Every Saturday night used to be the best of the week. He and his parents went to the     38     at the Club, where his hero, Alcide, played the accordion （手风琴） with the band. But lately everything had changed. Now that Johnny was older, he was     39     to dance with a girl!

    40     Johnny and his parents arrived at the Club, music had already started. Johnny got up his     41     to approach Lisette. “May I have this dance?” Johnny asked. “That’s all right,” said Lisette. Johnny struggled to keep up with Lisette’s     42     steps, but he was always one beat behind her. Then Johnny heard his friend Pierre say, “Look! Johnny has two left feet!”     43

The next Saturday, Alcide     45     to Johnny’s house for some potatoes. He happened to hear Johnny playing the accordion. Alcide’s eyes     46    . “Bring that accordion and play some songs tonight,” Alcide said. Then he drove off, leaving Johnny staring open- mouthed     47     him.

At the Club, Johnny scanned the crowd for Lisette and     48     her. The band played for a long time before Alcide said, “Dear friends, I got a     49     for you tonight.

Lisette stepped     54    , smiling. “You played really good tonight!” she said.

“Thank you,” Johnny blushed （脸红）. As he walked on, Pierre     55     moved out of the way for him to pass.

Johnny patted his accordion. Come to think of it, in his whole life, he had never once seen Alcide out on the dance floor.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.
After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
【小题1】The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.

I’m the captain of our school team so with my fellow players  we’ve won several games. There will an important game next month.  But one of the best player in our team told me just then that he wouldn’t  play basketball once more. His parents asked him to spend in more time  preparing for the  college entrance examination. I feel sorry to him.
But his parents think go to college is more important than playing sports  and college was the only place for a smart boy like his son. So my friend had  no choice. He wanted to make their parents happy.
