题目内容
19.A long time ago,a student was in a physics class.He had achieved an(41)B perfect score,but the marker had (42)Chim poorly on one question.The question had asked him how he would (43)A the height of a building using a barometer(气压计).[The student had written down."Go to the (44)D of the building.Drop the barometer and (45)Dthe seconds until it drops on the sidewalk below.(46)B use the formula(公式)for acceleration by gravity to (47)C the height of the building."
Of course,with the help of a barometer,the (48)B expected the student to use air pressure as a tool for measuring height.So he couldn't (49)Dthat part of the test.
When the student brought up that his answer (50)A solve the question being asked,the professor promised he would let the student answer the question again with a different (51)D.And if the student solved the problem (52)C,he would award him the marks for the question.
Immediately the student (53)Bthat he would use the barometer to knock on the (54)C of the landlord in the building.When the landlord answered the door.he would ask,"How (55)D is this building?"
At once,the professor (56)C what the student was doing.He asked him if he knew of any (57)C methods to reach the answer.The student answered that he would (58)A a long string to the barometer and measure the length of the string.
The professor decided to (59)D the student the marks.As the story goes,the student was young Niels Bohr,later becoming the famous (60)C and discovering the nature of electrons inside atoms.

When I was a senior in high school,I (36)C knew I wanted to pursue writing as a career.
Writing had basically(37)Dme when I was only 7years old,(38)Dsince that time,I'd been bombarded by guidance counselors and career planners who all (39)A me to have"a back-up plan"in case writing didn't work out.
I'd never even (40)Ca different career path,so I was very (41)B and worried.After much thought,I decided (42)B would be my"back-up plan,"and I signed up for a class through my high school.
This (43)A that every morning,I would serve as a teacher's helper for my favorite 6th grade teacher,Mr.Ralston.Morning after morning,I showed up in Mr.Ralston's classroom and(44)C papers for him.
Sometimes,I even (45)D a lesson or two.It was fun,and the students seemed to like me,so I was surprised when it came time for my (46)B.Mr.Ralston looked me right in the eyes and asked,"Do you really want to teach?"
"Had I really been that (47)A?"I thought.
"Don't misunderstand.You'll do fine in teaching,"he continued."But,is your(48)C really in it?"
"Not really,"I (49)C."I want to write.I want to write news stories and fiction and poetry and so much more…but I've been told it's tough to make it as a writer (50)D I thought maybe I would teach and then use my summers(51)D to pursue writing."
As I shared with Mr.Ralston my hopes,dreams and carefully plotted-out back-up plan,he smiled and said,"Why are you preparing to (52)A with this back-up plan?If you want to be a writer,go for it!Pursue writing!"
Mr.Ralston's (53)A to follow my dreams was the little nudge I needed to help me push past my (54)B of not making it as a writer and simply"Go for it!"
That's what an encouraging word will do when spoken in love in (55)Cseason.So,let's try and be like Mr.Ralston and speak that word of encouragement at just the right time and make a difference in someone's life today.

(53)D,10percent unemployment really means 20percent underemployment or anxious employment,all of which translates (54)Dinto late payments on mortgages,credit cards,auto and student loans,and loss of health insurance.It also means sleeplessness for tens of millions of Americans,and,of course,(55)Apurchases.
Unemployment of this magnitude and duration also translates into ugly (56)C,because fear and anxiety are (57)Bgrounds for the political resentment against immigrants,blacks,the poor,government leaders,business leaders,Jews and other easy (58)B.It's already started.Next year is a mid-term election.Be prepared for worse.
So why is unemployment and underemployment so high?And why is it (59)Dto remain high for some time?Because,as noted,people who are worried about their jobs or have no jobs,and who are also trying to (60)A from under a pile of debt,are not going to do a lot of shopping.And businesses that don't have customers aren't going to do a lot of new (61)C.And foreign nations also suffering high 62)Baren't going to buy a lot of our goods and services.And without customers,companies won't (63)D.They'll cut payrolls instead.
This brings us to the obvious question:Who's going to buy the stuff we make or the services we provide,and therefore bring jobs back?There's only one (64)C left:The government.
