But the hand was stuck fast（牢固地）. How would they get it out? The father suggested 20 the vase but it was quite valuable and the child’s hand might be cut in the 21 _. Yet he knew that if all else 22 there would be no other alternative.

So he said to the boy, “Now, let’s make one more 23 . Open your hand and stretch your 24 out straight, as I’m doing, and then pull!” “ 25 Dad,” said the boy, “if I do that I’ll 26 my penny!”

The boy had had a coin in his hand 27 and was holding it 28 in his tight little fist. And he wasn’t 29 to open his hand and lose it. But 30 he opened his hand it came out of the vase easily.

The father said to the boy, “What are you holding onto so tightly as to hinder (阻碍) your walk with God? That vase can be 31 to the entrance to the Kingdom of God. It is narrow yet quite 32 to pass in, but first you must open your hand to God and 33 earthly（世俗的）things to fall. If we keep our fists 34 and hold fast to what we have and keep it for ourselves, we will be unable to 35 hold of the hand of God. Open your hand to the hand of God and you will see great things take place.”

This is a dangerous world we live in. The number of murders goes up every year, people are dying of cancer, more people contract HIV, more teens are using drugs, ect. You know this because you’ve heard all the statistics on the news and in the paper. But do you really have an accurate idea what they mean? The numbers are going up, but how do they compare to the growth in population? Are more cases of these diseases being reported because of better testing techniques, or are the diseases more common? The fact is that without knowing the background statistics mean very little.

This growing trend of reporting only part of the information is becoming dangerous. For example, several years ago a high school student reported the dangers of the chemical known as dihydrogen monoxide. This chemical, found in most cancerous tumors, is often found in the blood of people drunk on alcohol, and causes complete physical and mental dependence for those who take the chemical even once. After reading his report, more than 75% of his Advanced Placement Chemistry class voted to forbid this dangerous chemical! Every one of the above statement is true, yet this chemical is necessary to all life on earth. The students made a mistake because they voted knowing only a few statements and statistics, rather than the chemical’s full background.

The point of this article is that one should be aware of what is and is not being said. When one finds a new fact or number, one should try to consider other important information before forming an opinion with only half-truths. Always remember that the author is trying to convince you of his or her own view, and will leave our information that is different from his view. For example, look again at the statistics that suggest skiing is safe. Only 32 people die each year when skiing, while 897 die from lightening strikes, but which is really more dangerous? If you think more about it, you will realize far fewer people go skiing each year than the number of people in danger of a lightning strike. When you think about it again, skiing is more dangerous than you might at first think when looking at the statistics. If we teenagers are to be left in this world, we had better be able to think critically, and form our own views, rather than be easily persuaded by another’s. To be warned is just to be prepared.

What’s the author’s attitude towards the growing trend of reporting only part of the

information?

Disapproving B. Positive C. Indifferent D. Dangerous

In the first paragraph, what does the writer suggest?

A. We are now living in a dangerous world.

B. We get a lot of false statistics from the media.

C. There are around us more and more murders diseases, ect.

D. Statistics alone without full background don’t give us an accurate picture of things.

What’s the purpose of the writer’s using the two examples in the second paragraph?

A. To argue that high school students are easily persuaded.

B. To prove what is necessary to us might be dangerous.

C. To show the danger of reporting only part of the information.

D. To warn us of the harmful substance around us.

Relative information is often left out because ___________________.

A. it is not important

B. the author is trying to show what he or she says is true

C. readers will consider other important information

D. readers are able to form an opinion with half-truths

What can we learn from the passage?

A. Some measures must be taken to protect our dangerous world.

B. The growing trend of reporting only half-truths is getting out of control.

C. Teenagers ought to improve their ability of telling right from wrong.

D. We should learn to think critically and look at problems from all sides.

I walked out of that test with my head 38 . I knew that I was a 39 and Ms. Pam had made me that way, I appreciated all the hard work that she put into helping me and my fellow students.
