题目内容

  It is always interesting to visit another country, especially for those who have never traveled a great deal. Foreign  1  can be very educational for  2  if he is interested enough to make preparations beforehand. Learning the language of the new country would be  3  for the traveler, but the benefits of  4  an effort would become obvious immediately  5  his travel. It may not seem  6  to him when he comfortably stays at home, but knowing  7  to order a meal or rent a room is  8  for the newcomer in a strange country. Without  9  the language, it is  10  difficult for the stranger to  11  the people of the new  12  and their customs.

  Of course, in our small  13  , it is often possible to  14  someone who understand our  15  language, but this is  16  second-best for the traveler. To be sure, he can see places and things without the  17  of a language, but places and things are not the  18  of any country. To get the greatest  19  from a trip to another country, it is  20  important for the visitor to have an understanding of the language.

  Even though he has been caught, the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is still causing trouble.His arrest   1   as many questions as it has answers.Top of the list is   2   should happen to Saddam now, closely   3   by calls for information from him about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction.

  He is currently being held by   4   troops at a secret place.The US says he will stand trial for his cruel actions during his years in   5  .This is likely to take place at a court   6   two weeks ago by the US-backed Iraqi Governing Council.The council's president Abdul Aziz al-hakim has warned Saddam could be executed(处死)if   7   guilty(有罪的)by the court.And the US   8   this.

  The UN Security Council has yet to   13   its position clear.But UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan   14   say that“the UN does not support a death penalty.”

  Besides waiting for a trial of Saddam, the world wants to see   15   the US and Britain can find the   16   weapons they gave as the   17   for the war in Iraq.Asked if Saddam's capture(捕获)could   18   a breakthrough(突破)in the hunt for the weapons of mass destruction, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said, “  19   obviously that possibility there.But I think we should   20   what we're doing in Iraq.”

  Al was a skilled artist.He had a wife and two fine sons.One night, his oldest son   1   severe stomachache.Thinking it was only some common disorder, neither Al nor his wife   2   the condition very seriously.But the disease was actually acute appendicitis(急性阑尾炎), and the boy died suddenly that night.

  Knowing the death could have been prevented if he had only realized the   3   of the situation, under the enormous burden of his guilt, Al's emotional health   4   .To make matters worse, his wife left him a short time later,   5   him alone with his six-year-old younger son.The hurt and pain of the two situations were   6   Al could handle, and he turned to alcohol to help him.In time Al became an   7  

  As the alcoholism progressed, Al began to lose everything he   8   –his home, his land, his art objects, everything.  9   Al died alone in a San Francisco motel room.

  When I heard of Al's death, I reacted with the same disdain(轻视)the world shows for one who   10   his life with nothing material to show for it.

  “What a complete   11  !” I thought, “What a totally wasted life!”

  As time went by, I began to re-evaluate my earlier blind   12  .You see, I knew Al's now adult son, Ernie.He is one of the   13  , most caring, most loving men I have ever known.I watched Ernie whit his children and saw the free   14   of love between them.I knew that kindness and caring must come from somewhere.

  I hadn't heard Ernie talk much about his father.It is so   15   to defend an alcoholic.One day I worked up my courage to ask him.“I'm really   16   by something.” I said.“I know your father was basically the only one to raise you.What on earth did he do that you became such a special person” ?

  Ernie reflected for a few moments.Then he said, “From my earliest   17   as a child until I left home at 18, Al came into my room every night, gave me a kiss and said, I love you, son”.

  Tears came to my eyes   18   I realized what a fool I had been to judge Al as a failure.He hadn't left any   19   possessions behind, But he had been a kind loving father, and he   20   one of the finest, most giving men I have ever known.

It doesn’t matter when or how much a person sleeps, but everyone needs some rest to stay alive. That’s what all doctors thought, until they heard about Al Herpin. Al Herpin, it was said, never slept. Could this be true? The doctors decided to see this strange man themselves.

Al Herpin was 90 years old when the doctors came to his home in New Jersey. They thought for sure that he got some sleep of some kind. So they stayed with him and watched every movement he made. But they were surprised. Though they watched him hour after hour and day after day, they never saw Herpin sleeping. In fact, he did not even own a bed. He never needed one.

The only rest that Herpin sometimes got was sitting in a comfortable chair and reading newspapers. The doctors were puzzled by this strange continuous sleeplessness. They asked him many questions, hoping to find an answer. They found only one answer that might explain his condition.
