A teacher teaching Maths to seven-year-old Laiq asked him, " If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?"
Within a few seconds Laiq   31  confidently, " Four!"
The confused teacher was expecting a（n）   32   correct answer, three．She was disappointed． "Maybe the child did not listen  33   " she thought． She   34   , "Laiq, listen carefully． If I give you one apple and one apple and one apple, how many apples will you have?"
Laiq had seen the   35  on his teacher' s face． He  36  again on his fingers． But within him he was also   37   the answer that would make the teacher happy． This time hesitatingly he replied, "Four． "
The disappointment stayed on the teacher' s face． Suddenly she   38  that Laiq liked strawberries．She thought maybe he didn’t like apples and that was why he couldn’t answer the question．This time with an excitement in her   39  she asked, " If I give you one strawberry and one strawberry and one strawberry, then how many you will have?"
Seeing the teacher   40  , young Laiq calculated on his fingers again． There was no pressure on him, but a little on the teacher． She wanted her new   41  to succeed．  42  a hesitating smile young Laiq replied, "Three?"
The teacher now had a   43  smile． Her approach had succeeded． She wanted to   44  herself．But one last thing remained．  45  she asked him, "Now if I give you one apple and one apple and one more apple how many will you have?"
Confidently Laiq answered, "Four!" The teacher was   46   "How Laiq, how?" she demanded in a little annoyed voice．
In a voice that was   47  and hesitating young Laiq replied, " Because I already have one   48  in my bag． "
The story tells us:  49  someone gives you an answer that is   50  from what you expect, don' t think they are wrong． There shall be an angle that you may not have thought about yet．

What is it that you love to do but never feel that you get it quite right? Perhaps you don't even try any more because you think what you do is not  36  enough.
Discouragement seems to follow us a good part of the time,   37  whatever it is that we work so hard doing, it seems that there is    38   someone else who can do it much better.
I have always enjoyed music and it is    39   to me that every musician has a    40  of their own. My father__41   several instruments and when he played with others, it was not difficult to ___42  his sound in a group. Whether it was guitar or another instrument, he had his own  43 sound.
I  44  read of a music teacher who commented to a discouraged student, “   45   else can make the sound that you make. The sound that you make may not be the same as someone else's but who is to say which is     46   . ” It is said that, “   47    is in the eye of the beholder（观看者）, ” perhaps it could be said that “a delightful sound is in the ear of the    48   . ”
Every person has a different tone of voice that     49  only to them,     50    we all know people with an unforgettable laugh or a way of     51    that is unique to them. It might not be the sound of your music or your voice at all. It      52    be the way you whistle or the sound of your footsteps.
Each person has a（an）   53 on the world in some way. Someone else can do what you do, but they cannot do it   54  the same way that you do it. The next time you feel   55 , remember “Nobody else can make the sound that you make. ”

I dreamed I had an interview with God.
“So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time,” I said. “My time is eternity(永恒),” God smiled, “What questions do you have（1）_________for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered, “That they (2)__________ bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children（3）_________.

And then I asked, “(8)__________ a parent, what are some of life’s lessons you want your children to(9) ___________?” He answered, “To learn they （10）__________make anyone love them.

To learn that two people can look at the same thing and （17）___________ it differently. To learn that it is not enough that they forgive one（18）____________, but they must also forgive themselves.”
“Thank you for your（19）___________,” I said humbly. “Is there anything else you would like（20）_____________ to know?” God smiled and said, “Just to know that I am always here.”

Most glasses help people see better, but a new invention from Japan may soon improve language skills and   language barriers instead.
High-tech Company NEC has   a device that it says will   users to communicate with people of different   .
Shaped like a pair of eyeglasses   without the lenses(镜片), the computer-assisted Tele Scouter would   a picture-forming device to present almost real-time translations directly onto the   retina（视网膜）. The text, provided instantly      voice recognition and   programs, would effectively provide movie-like “subtitles” （字幕） during a conversation between two people   the glasses.
“You can keep the   flowing,” NEC market development official Takayuki Omino told reporters at Tokyo exposition (展览会)   the device was on display. “This could also be used for talks     with secret information,” says Omino, stating that there would be no      for translators.
Each user’s   words would be   by microphone, translated, and be instantly   for conversation partners in   visual text and as audio delivered through headphones.
Users can still see their conversation partner’s face because the text is   onto only part of the retina—the first time such technology is used in a commercial product, according to NEC.
The company plans to put the Tele Scouter in Japan in November next year,    at the beginning without the translation mode.

Once there was a huge apple tree. A little boy loved to come and play around it every day. He loved the tree and the tree loved to play with him.
Time went by --- the little boy had grown up and he no longer played around the tree every day. One day, the boy came back to the tree and he looked sad. “Come and play with me,” the tree asked the boy. “I’m no longer a kid. I wouldn’t play around the tree any more.” the boy replied. “I want toys. I need money to buy them.” “Sorry, I don’t have money. But you can pick all my apples and sell them. So, you will have money.” The boy picked all the apples on the tree and left happily. The boy never came back after he picked the apples.
One day, the boy returned and the tree was so excited, “Come and play with me,” the tree said. “I don’t have time to play. I have to work for my family. We need a house for shelter. Can you help?” “Sorry, I don’t have a house. But you can cut off my branches to build your house.” So the boy cut all the branches off the tree and left happily. The tree was glad to see him happy but the boy never came back since then. The tree was again lonely and sad.
One hot summer day, the boy returned and the tree was pleased. “Come and play with me!” the tree said. “I am sad and getting old. I want to go sailing to relax myself. Can you give me a boat?” “Use my trunk to build your boat. You can sail far away and be happy.” So the boy cut the tree trunk to make a boat. He went sailing and never showed up for a long time.
Finally, the boy returned after he left for so many years. “Sorry, my boy. But I don’t have anything for you any more. The only thing left is my dying root,” the tree said with tears.
“Good! Old tree root is the best place to lean on and rest. Come and sit down with me and rest.” The boy sat down and the tree was glad and smiled with tears.

Last summer a tornado hit a small town nearby. I saw in the local newspaper a picture of a young woman a little boy and a younger  36  standing in front of a totally destroyed house eyes wide open with  37  .I noticed their clothing  38  closely matched ours. This would be a good opportunity to teach my children to help those less 39.
I   40   their situation to my seven-year-old twins, Brad and Martin, and   41   the boys to donate some of their less favorite toys. My little daughter, Meghan,   42   quietly when the boys piled up the old toys. After a while, Meghan walked up   43   Lucy, her much-loved doll,   44   tightly to her chest. She put her round little   45   into Lucy’s, giving her a final kiss, and then laid her   46   on top of the others. “Oh, honey,” I said，“you don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much. ”
Meghan nodded, trying to   47   her tears. “Lucy makes me happy, Mummy. Maybe she’ll make that little girl happy, too. ”
The boys watched in surprise   48   their baby sister placed Lucy in the   49  . While I stared at Meghan, reflecting upon my donation, they went, without a word, to their room and both          50   with their valued items. Martin hesitated   51  , then looked over at Meghan and put his model car next to Lucy. Amazed, I removed my old   52   from the box, and   53   it with a new one I had bought the week before, hoping the young woman would   54   it as much.
Anyone can give away what they no longer need, but true generosity is giving what you   55 .     I, who had meant to teach, was taught.

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.
However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast.
I have a very busy friend who had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. Nonetheless, his wife still did not manage to conquer the illness and passed away after three months. After that, he often sighed miserably that due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.
It is no use crying over spilt milk. We have missed a lot of precious things in our life without knowing to cherish them.
Actually, I also missed something precious before. The reason why we would have missed those precious things is less than simple: we had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.
Nevertheless, tomorrow is actually by no means reliable. There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to cherish what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.
小题1:The reason why people often regret may be that _______.
A．they are too busy to notice the beautiful things
B．they are too careless to cherish precious things
C．they are lazy to observe the surroundings
D．they think that it’s none of their business
小题2:The idea the author would like to get across to us seems that _______.
A．actions speak louder than words
B．a bad beginning makes a bad ending
C．the lost will never come back
D．each day brings its own bread
小题3:What method does the author employ to support his opinion？
A．By listing data.B．By comparing the details .
C．By explaining the procedures .D．By taking examples.
小题4:How do we understand the underlined parts “waiting and regretting”?
A．Many people will not cherish what they have until they lost them.
B．Many people cannot do well until they get older.
C．Many people know what they are doing.
D．Many people regret for what they don’t possess.
THE CHARM OF CHARITY
A poor young man lost his job and had no one to help him. Helpless, homeless and hopeless, he decided to commit suicide. He   36  all the coins he had with him and bought a ripe banana wrapped in an old newspaper. He opened the packet and started to eat his last food   37  an old beggar approached him. With trembling lips, the beggar told him that he hadn’t had anything to eat for several days and was too weak to walk. The young man felt   38 . So he didn’t eat the banana.   39 , he gave the banana to the beggar. The beggar ate it with great joy and   40__  him. While leaving, the beggar gave him a very old coin, saying, “Thank you very much. You gave me everything you had. Kindly accept this coin as my gift   41  your kindness.”
After the old man left, he   42  glanced at the piece of paper used to wrap the fruit. There he saw a（n）  43  from an agency dealing with old coins. Anyone   44  old coins was invited to visit the agency and receive suitable price for their old coins on the spot. Out of simple   45 , he carried the coin to the agency after   46  it by phone. He showed the coin gifted by the beggar. The person who   47  the agency stared at it and told him in excitement, “What a   __48  ! It is very   49  and several centuries old. It is worth a（n）  50  !” Jumping with joy on receiving the   51  amount of money, he searched everywhere to find the old man who gifted him the coin. He wanted to   52  his joy and the money with the beggar. But he could not find him anywhere. Since then, he started a new life with renewed   53  and enthusiasm about the future.
Kindness will be   54 . It always comes back! As William Wordsworth wrote,“ The best part of a good life is the little, nameless, unremembered acts of   55  and love.”

One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird,   1 a sparrow.
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She   2  and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the  3 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was  4 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children       5  . But there was that  6  again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I  7  the sparrow. It was flying  8 just inches below the ceiling. It was  9 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 10  the open door. So the bird continued  11  its wings and hitting its head against the  12 .
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be  13  .”  
“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide（滑翔） down to get outside, but that only seemed to  14   it more. “Why don’t we just 15 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll    16 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing  17  .Then suddenly, it was silent. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 18  him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to  19 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping（拍打）around and just glide  20 a little bit.
