A son and his father were walking on the mountains. Suddenly, his son falls, hurts himself and screams: “AAAhhhhhhhhhh!!! To his surprise, he hears the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountains: “ 题目和参考答案——青夏教育精英家教网—

Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare   21  affecting her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was    22  in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much    23   of her ever recovering from this illness. They    24 she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to    25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was   26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was   27  going to be walking again one day.
She was moved to a specialized    28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All   29 that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do   30 else, it would at least give her hope and something   31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her   32  , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!
One day, 33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something 34  happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She    35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"
Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a   36 place. People were screaming, equipment was  37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake. 38 don't tell that to Angela. She    39  that she did it.
And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own   40  . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat which was hanging at a secondhand clothing store in Northampton Mass. While the other coats drooped, this one looked as if it were   36  itself up. The coat had beautiful tailoring, a Fifth Avenue label and a(an) 37  price of $28, which was popular just then with   38  , but could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better, bearing that   39  of classic elegance. John tried it on and the fit was perfect.
John   40  the coat to school the next day and came home wearing a big smile "Did the kids like your coat?" I asked. "They loved it," he said,   41  folding it over the back of a chair and smoothing it flat. Over the next few weeks, a   42  came over John. Agreement replaced contrariness and reasoned discussion replaced fierce   43 . He became more mannerly and   44 , eager to please. He would generously loan his younger brother his tapes and lecture him   45  his behavior.
When I mentioned this incident to his teacher and   46  what caused the changes, she said laughing. "It   47  be his coat!" Another teacher told him she was giving him a good   48  not only because he had earned   49  but because she liked his coat. At the library, we ran into a friend “Could this be John?" he asked surprisingly,   50  John's new height, assessing the cut of his coat and extending his hand, one gentleman to another.
John and I both know we should never   51  a person's clothes for the real person within them.   52  there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see and for   53  what is on the inside to what is on the outside.
For John it is a time when it is as easy to try on different approaches to   54  as it is to try on a coat. The whole world, the whole future is stretched out ahead, a vast landscape   55  all the doors are open. And he could picture himself walking through those doors wearing his wonderful, magical coat.

小题1:

A．turning

My father was in the navy, which meant that my mother was married to both my father and the sea. As was often the case, we had to pack our belongings into boxes and   36   those we had grown to love. We would arrive at our new home and find ourselves once again   37  at the pier（码头）waving good-bye to my father as his   38   pulled him away from us. My mother would turn my brother and me around before the ship was out of   39 , wipe our tears, and take us back home to start the process of   40   in the new environment again.
Throughout the years of changing   41 , schools and friends, there remained one constant in my childhood — my mother. For both my    42  and me, she was the cook, maid and teacher. She played these roles while   43  some type of part-time job. Leaving a promising career is just one of the   44  which my mother made for my family as we moved around the world with our father every three years or so.   45  she had to deal with only a small budget, my mother   46  managed to make each house to be the very home that is safe and   47 .
This probably sounds like a depressing way to live,   48  with two small children: “single” parenthood, short-term friendships, and the inability to   49   a career or establish a home. But it was not for my mother. She turned this   50  into adventure for us all! Each relocation was a chance to   51  another part of the world. My mother greeted each new culture, climate and neighborhood. Each new house was a   52  to rearrange furniture, make curtains and   53  pictures. Every part-time job was an opportunity to learn something new and work with interesting people.
No matter how difficult the life was, she was always having a   54  attitude. She always had strength in the face of struggle and change. My mother was so   55  all those years of my childhood — she was my island in a sea of change. She is my hero.

I found out one time that doing a favor for someone could get you into a lot of trouble. I was 36  the eighth grade at the time, and we were having a final   37 . During the test，the girl 38  next to me whispered something，but I didn’t understand. So I leaned(倾斜) over her way and found out that she was trying to ask me 39 I had an extra pen. She showed me that 40 was out of ink and would not write．I happened to have an extra one，so I took it out of my pocket and put it on her desk．
Later, after the test papers had been 41 the teacher asked me to 42 in the room when all the other students 43  . As soon as we were alone, she began to talk to me about 44 it meant to grow up；she mentioned how important it was to stand 45  your own two feet and be responsible for your own acts. For a long time, she talked about __46 _and emphasized the fact   that when people do something dishonest，they really 47 themselves．She made me promise that I would think 48  about all the things she had said. Then she told me I could   49 . I walked out of the room wondering   40  she had chosen to talk to me about all those things．
Later on，I found out that she thought I had cheated on the test. When she saw me lean over to talk to the gir1 next to me, it looked  51 I was copying answers 52  the girl’s test paper. So I came to find her and tried to explain about the pen, but all she could say was it seemed very strange to her that I hadn’t   53  anything about the pen the day she talked to me right after the test. 54  I tried to explain that I was just doing the girl a favor   55  letting her use my pen, I was sure she continued to believe that I had cheated on the test．

My name is Scott and I am 36 years old. I have spent most of my adult life doing an   36  job, so I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me. I saw no point in trying to   37  my life or the lives of the people around me.
Two years ago my wife   38  me to return to school and work toward a career where I would find satisfaction. So I entered Long Beach City College to pursue a   39  in history. Last term I took a political science class. The   40  Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He   41  in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House.

Real-life Friends
Most people know the saying: A man's best friend is his dog; and that Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. However, dogs can’t offer advice or make you a cup of tea when you need one; and precious stones are cold comfort when you need a hug, and a shoulder to cry on.
What are Friends?
There are many ways to describe a friend. Friends are the family you can choose for yourself. Friends are a much better medication（医疗）than medication is, and people who spend time with friends are happier with their lives as they are less lonely.
A good friend will put you to bed when you’re lost consciousness. Ensure you’re not laid on your back, and remember to remove your shoes. You should be able to tell a true friend anything without being judged by them.
How do Friendships Begin?
This is an easy question. Find someone else who has similar interests with you. You now have another person to talk to about your shared interest but remember they like to talk too, so be prepared to shut up and listen once in a while. Hopefully they will have other friends and will introduce you to them, thereby expanding your circle.
Friendships which begin due to location, for example, next-door neighbors or school classmates, rarely survive transitions such as moving to other neighborhoods, schools, colleges, jobs, immigration, and so forth. Attend a school reunion and you’ll wonder what on earth you ever had in common with these people other than your age, although it is possible to have a friendship with someone you met at school. Mutually maintain it, and eventually become godparent or “uncle” to each others’ children.
How Friendships are Maintained
To have a friend you must also be a friend and be prepared to be there for them should they need you. Failure in this respect would label you a fair-weather friend and you would most probably be abandoned.
Boundaries
Like every other relationship you have in your life, there are boundaries you shouldn’t cross with your friends. One of those is money: Don’t lend to your friend and don’t ask for a loan yourself.
Friends are unpaid counselors（顾问）,but phoning them at 2 am because you’re awake and would like a chat is not a good idea. Neither is phoning them at 10 am if you know they’re a shift-worker. Friends are people who need some space and quiet time. Generally, it all boils down to mutual respect and understanding.
It’s not a good plan to interrupt your friend while they’re on a date/on holiday/attending an orchestral recital/at a funeral.
Trust
Trust is the most vital element in any relationship. If you’re not trustworthy then you probably don’t deserve friends, so try to remember that you promised to see that dull film with them or applaud them at their first attempt at a karaoke or an Open Mic night. If you have promised to look after their clothes while they go for a bet, then make sure you do. You might like to carry enough cash to help them out too, as you never know when that situation might be reversed.
Don’t lie to your friend: if they know you well they’ll know you’re lying or will at least be suspicious. If you find out something that you know will hurt your friend, be tactful（圆滑）. Do they need to know? Would they appreciate knowing? Can you tell their mum so she can break the news? Cowardly, yes, but mums usually have a much better way with words. Remember, if you do decide to tell them and it’s painful, they will probably need some time alone, after lashing out at（抨击）the closest thing—you. In that case, play the waiting game. Then don’t beat them up about it afterwards.
A Friend for Life
Strong friendships can last a lifetime with care and consideration. The benefits are multi-folds; you’ve got someone to share birthday cake with, and especially for single people, a pub meal or a trip to the cinema is no fun alone, is it? Plus it’s always nice to know there’s someone there for you, as you’re there for them, through the bad times as well as the good. Altogether now: Oh I get by with a little help from my friends. Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.
