Not having swum in the past several years and being a bit out of  3   , June began to tire   4   . “Ah, no pains, no gains,” June thought to herself. June    5    to swim, realizing her head was    6  . Breathing became   7  . Her sight wasn’t so   8   . She saw the lifeguard and a couple others around the pool. She did not want to bother anyone. She continued.
She found    9    in the middle of the pool. Deciding not to ask for help, she continued to swim.  10   , she made it to the other side of the pool.

点评：文章记叙了简多年没有游泳，乍一游泳突感不适，但自己又不想寻求帮助，硬撑着游向了对岸，最后作者呼吁其实必要时寻求帮助是很合理的。文章不难，所设的空重在理解上下文的意思，同时按照文章的主线和发展顺序作答，设身处地的想自己就是作者，这样题目就迎刃而解了。

In the first week after arriving in the new city for further study, I fell and broke my leg. I was really   36  by the kindness of my new roommate. “We are family now,” she said when she   37  me lying in my room with a swollen(浮肿的)  38 , unable to move. She took me to the nearest  39 by taxi to get my leg examined. The driver was so   40  that we arrived there very quickly. After that, my   41  didn’t stop helping me though I told her I could do things on my own.
So many blessings(幸事) I had never   42  came to me when I was alone and helpless. Bus drivers picked me up  43  anywhere they saw me. Many people   44  the door for me. Such things were small but   45  for a person on walking sticks.
  46 people’s kindness, I did whatever I could to make people   47  . I made many jokes about my two   48 and the bad fall. And I tried not to   49  even a single time about what had happened. I also tried to be kind to   50  students who were injured. I took time to   51  with a girl in a wheelchair who always ate lunch alone.
I soon realized that pain can be   52  by mental (精神上的) power. I could see that   53  I was using physical sticks, there were hundreds of mental sticks I could depend on. I also saw that sometimes   54  situations could be good. Einstein once said, “You can live your life seeing nothing as a miracle( 奇迹 )   55  seeing everything as a miracle.”

Last year, I lost my best friend in high school. It seemed that everyone else’s life could just continue on in its  36  way, but mine couldn't. I wasn't sure how I was going to be able to face  37  and their gossip at school. I was forced to  38  my routine on Monday morning as usual. In the evening I returned home from school  39  completely defeated. All I wanted to do was  40  into bed and wallow(沉迷于)in my own self-pity. I pulled back the covers on my bed and  41  a pile of cards left by my dad. Each card included a(n)  42  that it was to be opened on a  43  night that week.
I made it through that week  44  my father. Each card  45  to say just what I needed to hear. Tuesday’s card said, “The past is painful to think about and the  46  is impossible to imagine. Don't try. Just take it one minute at a time.” On Wednesday my mood  47  when I read, “What you are feeling now is  48  and normal. It still feels very bad, but it is part of the healing  49 .” Friday’s card contained a poem he wrote. The last lines made me smile through my tears. “Whatever special  50  you face along life’s way, may you  51  that you will find the best in every day.” I was instructed to open the last card  52  the party I went to on Saturday night. In it he wisely reminded me to  53 . “The world isn't so bad after a good laugh. The more you laugh, the more you heal.” Each card was signed, “Love, Dad.”
My world once collapsed (fell down) but I  54  the difficult breakup eventually. It owed to my dad, who made his  55  known when he couldn't be present.

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.

My father never wanted his children to know what he did for a living．Dad worked in Plant C．Lying beside lake Erie, it saw him in at sunrise and out at nightfall．Sometimes my mother would take my siblings （兄弟姐妹） and me to the public beach in our hometown of Ashtabula． she'd gather us round and point to the smokestacks, coughing clouds into the sky．
"Wave to daddy!" she'd shout. Four little hands would shoot into the air．I never knew what Dad did in Plant C, but during 34 years of hard work, he had surgery （手术） on his shoulder and hand．At 48, he had his first heart attack．He retired in 1993, right after the last kid graduated from college．But the damage was done．A few years later, the next heart attack killed him．
I saw my dad in Plant C only once, when I took dinner to him．That night, I looked at my father, covered in sweat and coal, and for the first time I knew why he was so often angry for no reason．

A few days later, my daughter graduated from college．I gave her the hard hat Toby handed to me as I left, and this notes: " Whenever you feel something difficult, put this on, look in the mirror, and remember your roots．"

It was a sunny day. A city man was driving along a country road with a new wagon（马车）and a beautiful pair of horses. He didn’t pay a lot of  16  to where he was going.

The trip to that city was eye-opening for everyone, and near its end, all the young people in our group began to reflect on what it had meant． We   41  the first night we had arrived． We had all gone into the markets of the city   42  the young people could experience its energy． But what we actually saw simply   43  us all --- the rundown houses, the children in rags, the people begging for money… Walking home,   44  under a low bridge, we came across   45  families of homeless people seeking a bit of dry ground to sleep on   46  the night． We had to step over bodies as we found our way through the darkness．
The poverty was   47  than anything my young companions had ever imagined． Back in the hotel, an air of sadness settled over the group． Many   48  and cried． Spending time in this   49  moves a person to care about humanity．
That evening, our group spent hours talking about what we had   50 ． Gently, I encouraged everyone to talk about the difficult   51  that day’s discoveries had inspired． Sitting together   52  a circle as everyone had a chance to speak, we all began to realize that  53  of us was alone in our struggle to cope with our reactions．
Based on my   54  in poverty-stricken areas, I suggested that   55  the emotions we had were painful, they could also be important in helping us to move forward． We all   56  that we had seen things that should never be allowed to happen．   57  , what could we do about it? Together, we began to brainstorm ways we could help to ease the   58  we had seen． As I encouraged group members to focus on   59  they could do, a sense of determination  60  the previous sadness． Instead of despair, these young people began to feel a call to action．
