6．-I wonder why you didn't take part in the speech contest yesterday afternoon．
-I'm terribly sorry，I________ myself．
A．had conductedB．conductedC．was conductingD．would conduct

分析 -我想知道昨天下午你为什么没参加演讲比赛？
-非常抱歉，我（之前）表现不好．

解答 答案：C 
-I wonder why you didn't take part in the speech contest yesterday afternoon．
-I'm terribly sorry，I________ myself （badly）（at that time）．
意为"-我想知道昨天下午你为什么没参加演讲比赛？
-非常抱歉，我当时表现不好．"
也可以联系上下语境，可知是因为"表现不好"而没有参加演讲比赛．指在回答者在过去一段时间表现都不好，是一种状态，因此要用过去进行时．
conduct oneself well/badly 指"表现好/不好"，此处需联系上下文语境得知为"表现不好"，conduct myself （badly）．

点评 过去进行时态表示过去在某一时间段或某一段时间内正在发生或进行的动作或状态，常与表示过去的时间状语连用．

I went through my surgery successfully and I made a promise that after I was fully recovered I would spare no effort to help others．Their kindness was remarkable，and I will remember it for the rest of my life．They are truly angels and I'm so lucky to work with them．

5．A nurse of 78 this weekend celebrates 60years of walking the wards-and she has no plans to retire．
Jackie Reid was 18 when she started work in 1953-when the National Health Service（NHS） was just five years old-and is believed to be the oldest nurse in Britain．
The diabetes（糖尿病） specialist had to retire at 65 but returned as a nurse within two weeks and still does up to four seven-and-a-half hour shifts（轮班）each week．
Mrs Reid said："Nursing is hard if you do it correctly but I love my job．Working for the NHS has been my life．I have no other hobbies because I have worked all my life．
Jackie has worked at a number of different hospitals--including one in Scotland．

6．The Doll and the White Rose
I was walking around in a mall，when I saw a cashier hand this little boy some money back．The cashier said，"I'm sorry，but you don't have enough money to buy this doll．"The little boy seemed very disappointed．
I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to．"It's the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas．She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her：But Santa Claus can't bring it to her where she is now．I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there．"His eyes were so sad．"My sister has gone to be with God．Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too，so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister．"
My heart nearly stopped．The little boy looked up at me and continued，"I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet．I need her to wait until I come back from the mall．"
I quickly reached for my wallet and said，"Suppose we check again，just in case you do have enough money for the doll．"
"OK，I hope I do have enough，"he said．I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it．There was enough for the doll and even some spare money．
Surprisingly，the little boy cried，"Thank you God for giving me enough money!"Then he looked at me and added，"I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll，so that Mommy could give it to my sister．  He heard me!I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy，but I didn't dare to ask God for too much．But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose!"
Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured．The little girl died right away，and the mother was left in a critical state．Was this the family of the little boy？
Two days after I met the little boy，I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away．I couldn't stop myself from going to the funeral．Teary-eyed，I felt that my life had been changed forever．

C．he would give it to his mother as a birthday surprise
D．he wanted to turn his sister's Christmas wish into reality
57．We can learn from the story thatC．
A．the boy's sister died after staying in hospital for two weeks
B．the boy's family were all seriously injured in a car accident
C．the author gave the boy some extra money without his notice
D．the boy's mother always wished to receive a white rose on Christmas
