19.A Good CustodianI know a woman who tries hard to be a good custodian.
I pass her every day after school as she pushes her cart down my
hallway.Of course,she is my building's cleaner,
One Tuesday morning I came into school and saw a (36)C on my
desk from my custodian,
It seemed that some unbearable first year students had damaged the bathroom in a particularly disgusting way and she had been (37)D to clean it.This took(38)B than she had expected. She had left the typewritten note on my desk to (39)A for not being able to clean my room as she was (40)D to do.
At the beginning of the period,I shared her note with my first period(41)A When I mentioned that our custodian had apologized to us,their first (42)B was to volunteer to seek out and beat up those first year students for making our custodian have to clean up their (43)C.It turned out that just about all of my students also knew our custodian by name-all of them responded with smiles and (44)A for a long time about this time or that time when she'd(45)D each of them in the hallway.That she felt she needed to apologize (46)C a strong reaction from many of the kids.
As the class period was about to end,I asked them to(47)C the floor like I do every period and thanked them for picking up any garbage (48)A it wasn't theirs.My entire class disappeared; they each disappeared instantly(49)B their desks to pick up those annoying tiny pieces of paper that (50)B so easily from notebooks.One girl made a (an)(51)D that I later used with my other classes:"Her job might be to clean the room,but she shouldn't have to clean up(52)A us.There's a difference."
I believe that people know the difference between right and wrong.I believe that people appreciate it when others(53)D take care of them.And I believe that people,even adolescents who are not quite yet mature,appreciate it when they see someone who takes (54)Bin her work. Sometimes we need a (55)C of the things we take for granted…things like a good custodian to take care of us.

点评 同学们在解答夹叙夹议文体的完形填空时,首先要读懂第一节,尤其是文章的第一句话,这样就可以迅速找到全文的主旨大意.其次要跟着作者的思路读全文,思维要有灵活性,要随着记叙与议论的转换,及时调整思维方式.答题时必须要遵循"整体-部分-整体"的步骤,具体可分为以下三步:1. 通览全文,了解大意. 2. 综合考虑,逐项填空. 3. 复读检验,以防疏漏.
There are several goals we aim to reach in our undergraduate program.
The most obvious one is to give knowledge-fairly (52)A knowledge in one field and a more general knowledge of a variety of other subject areas which you may choose according to your interest.But if acquiring knowledge is a self-evident part of a college education,it is (53)B the most important.Remarkably few of the facts you learn here will remain in your (54)A for many years,and some of those that do will even be proved (55)C by new knowledge.
(56)A,we can instill(灌输) certain attitudes of mind-a willingness to accept uncertainty,and the lack of definite truths; independence of mind,and a respect for facts and for the uncomfortable conclusions which facts sometimes lead to.
In addition to these (57)D qualities,a college education should try to lay a foundation for the creative use of (58)D time.Some of this capacity can be stimulated in the classroom-in courses in the humanities and the arts.Yet,at least as much (59)B will occur outside the lecture hall-on athletic fields,in music rooms,student theaters,concert halls,and so forth.
These are some of the (60)B of a liberal college education as I see them.I cannot resist concluding with a few private thoughts about our new careers at Harvard.
To begin with,I hope that we will think (61)A about what we want to accomplish here.It would be (62)C for you to set your sights on some limited goal,such as getting good grades or merely getting into one or another graduate school.
Second,I hope that you will give some thought to what you can do for others during your stay here.There are many problems waiting for your help,and many people who could (63)B your efforts.
My final bit of advice.Whatever else we do,let us remember not to take ourselves too seriously.However great our problems may seem,however urgent our complaints,they are overshadowed(黯然失色) by the (64)Cof countless other people on our planet.
