Recently, my husband and I had the opportunity to do something good for two people who were complete strangers to us．It made us feel so good to be able to do it that I thought I should 1 ．We were traveling down to Mexico for Thanksgiving week with our family． 2 we were sitting in the 3 first two seats in the first row of first class waiting for the plane to take off, I 4 heard one of the flight attendants(空乘)telling 5 that there was a couple sitting in the 6 of the plane who had just been married the previous day and were 7 off on their honeymoon．They had 8 their flight eight months in 9 but, owing to some schedule changes, had not been able to get 10 together, and no one else on the plane was 11 to move and the bride was in 12 ．
I turned to my husband and told him what I heard．We 13 agreed and I called the flight attendant 14 to tell her that we'd be happy to give up our seats to this couple．The flight attendant seemed amazed and said“Really?Are you sure?”We said“Absolutely!”
So, we 15 to the back of the plane in separate seats．The flight attendants were extremely 16 and took good care of us even though we were no longer sitting in first 17 , and we both made friends with the people sitting around us, who, as it 18 didn't know why the young woman was crying or that they were newly married, and had a great flight．I had to go back to the front of the plane to 19 up a forgotten item at one point during the flight and 20 that the couple were sitting very close together, happily enjoying champagne．It really made my day and Thanksgiving week get off to such a wonderful start!
It was only in the eighteenth century that people in Europe began to think mountains were beautiful． 1 that time, mountains were 2 by the people living on the plain, 3 by the city people, to whom they were wild and 4 places in which one was easily 5 or killed by terrible animals．
Slowly, however, many of the people who were living 6 in the towns began to grow tired of 7 ．They began to feel interested in looking for things which could not be explained, for sights and sounds which produce in a feeling of fear and excitement． 8 in the 9 century, people began to turn away from the man-made 10 to untouched country, and particularly 11 places where it was dangerous and wild．High mountains began to be 12 for a holiday．
Then, mountain-climbing began to grow popular as a sport．To some people, it is something greatly 13 about getting to the． 14 of a high mountain：a struggle against nature is finer than a battle 15 other human beings．And than, when you are at the mountain top after a long and difficult 16 , what a 17 reward it is to be able to look 18 on everything within 19 !At such time, you feel happier and prouder than you can ever feel down 20 ．

完型填空：
Mr．Jones woke early one morning, before the sun had risen, it was a beautiful morning, 1 he went to the window and looked out．He was surprised to see 2 middle-aged professor, who walked in the university just up the road from Mr．Jones’s house, 3 the direction of the town．He had grey hair and thick glasses, and was carrying an umbrella, a morning newspaper and a bag．Mr．Jones thought that he must have 4 by the night train, and decided to walk to the university instead of taking a taxi．
Mr．Jones had a big tree in his garden, and the children had 5 a long rope to one of the branches so that they could swing on it．
Mr．Jones was 6 to see the professor 7 when he saw the rope, and looked 8 up and down the road．When he saw that there was nobody in sight, he 9 into the garden, put his umbrella, newspaper, bag and hat on the grass and 10 the rope．He 11 it hard to see whether it was strong enough to 12 his weight, then ran as fast as he could and swung into the 13 on the end of the rope, his grey hair 14 all around his face．Backwards and forwards he swung, 15 taking a few more 16 steps on the grass when the rope began to swing 17 slowly for him．
At last the professor stopped, 18 his tie, combed his hair carefully, put on his hat, picked up his umbrella, newspaper and bag, and 19 his way to the university, looking as 20 and correct and respectable as one would expect a professor to be．
