Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to    have a   21  the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a   22 . One of her colleagues needed a full-time   23 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to   24  Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a   25  child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not   26  him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems. He couldn’t   27  or run properly. I was hesitating (犹豫)   28  I was to take the job when my mother   29 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the   30 .”
Then I told her I was   31  for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little   32 , he was quite a mix.
In the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings (秋千), the boy’s face   33  up — how he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be   34  to get a child to go down a slide (滑梯). Believe me, it wasn’t! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his   35  and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he   36  it to the top of the slide. With my arms   37  him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big   38  and asked, “May I go down again, alone?” I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children   39  for granted.  This   40  child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

 A well-dressed man came into a famous jeweler shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl (珍珠) for his wife's birthday and that the price didn't matter since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a number of beautiful and valuable pearls, he chose a nice black one that cost $ 5,000. He paid for the pearl, shook hands with the jeweler and left.

    A few days later the man returned and said his wife had liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality(质地) as she wanted a pair of earrings (耳环) made. "Can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?" said the man. The jeweler replied,   "I would say it's nearly impossible to find an exact one like that pearl.”

    The rich man asked the jeweler to advertise(登广告) in the newspapers, and offered $25,000 for the  matching pearl. Many people answered the ad(广告), but nobody had a pearl that was just right. Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came in. To his surprise, she pulled the wonderful pearl from her handbag. "I don't like to sell it," she said sadly. "I inherited(继承) it from my mother, and my mother inherited from hers. But now I really need the money. "

    The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich man’s hotel to tell him the good news. The rich man, however, was nowhere to be found.

D. so as to make the jeweler believe him

2.Which of the following is true?

B. The woman was the well-dressed man's wife.

C. The jeweler was lucky enough to buy the little old lady's pearl.

D. The rich man didn't know the little old lady.
