Six years later，（49）C_，I was at California University，working on my doctor's degree．One of my professors，Dr．Bob Tannbaum，asked me to write down things I did well and things I couldn't do．For my strong points，I（50）A down，"research，writing，analysis，and speaking．"For the （51）B，I wrote，"I have no mechanical skills．"
Bob asked me how I knew I had no mechanical skills．I explained my life  （52）C  and told him about my （53）D performance on the Army test．Bob then asked，"（54）A   is it that you can solve （55）C  mathematical problems，but you can't solve easy mechanical problems？"
Suddenly I realized that I didn't （56）B from some sort of genetic defect．I was just living out expectations that I had chosen to （57）C．At that point，it wasn't just my family and friends who had been  （58）Amy belief that I was mechanically hopeless．And it wasn't just the Army test，either．I was the one who kept telling myself，"You can't do this!"I realized that as long as I kept saying that，it was going to remain true．（59）C，if we don't treat ourselves as if we have genetic defects that we can never get over，we can do well in almost （60）B  we choose．

1．I know the boythat/who/whomyou are looking for．
5．There was a story many years ago of a school teacher-Mrs．Thompson．She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same．But that was a lie．There in the front row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard．He didn't play well with the other children and he always needed a bath．She did not like him．
Then Mrs．Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother．Mrs．Thompson was ashamed of herself．She felt even worse when，like all her other students，Teddy brought her a Christmas present too．It was his mother's perfume（香水）．
Teddy said，"Mrs．Thompson，today you smell just like my Mom used to．"After the children left she cried for at least an hour．On that very day，she stopped teaching reading，writing and math．Instead，she began to teach children．
Mrs．Thomspon paid particular attention to Teddy．The boy's mind seemed to come alive．The more she encouraged him，the faster he improved．By the end of the sixth grade，Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class．
Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy．He wrote that he had finished high school，third in his class，and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life．He went to college．Mrs．Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed，Theodore F．Stoddard，M．D．（医学博士）．
The story doesn't end there．On his wedding day，Dr．Stoddard whispered in Mrs．Thompson's ear，"Thank you，Mrs．Thompson，for believing in me．You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference．"
Mrs．Thomspon，with tears in her eyes，whispered back，"Teddy，you have it all wrong．You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference．I didn't know how to teach until I met you．"
9．What did Mrs．Thompson do on the first day of school？A
A．She told the class something untrue about herself．
B．She made Teddy feel ashamed．
C．She asked the children to play with Teddy．
D．She changed Teddy's seat to the front row．
10．What did Mrs．Thompson find out about Teddy？D

C．He was good at math．
D．He needed motherly care．
11．In what way did Mrs．Thompson change？A

2．Every year，about 600 monkeys are invited to eat fruits and vegetables during an yearly feast in Thailand．（36）BIt is said that Roma once rewarded his friend Hanuman，the Monkey King，with some sand．Organizers of the annual Monkey Buffet use more than 3000 kg of fruits and vegetables to prepare for the feast．
    This event is held in England．Though it might sound very gentle，it is actually very dangerous．Running down a very steep（陡峭的） hill behind a 7 pound wheel of cheese can be very dangerous．In fact，the police have attempted to ban the event，but participants have refused to carry out the ban．Men and their cheese wheels cannot be separated so easily．（37）ASimple：the cheese is set rolling down the hill，and the racers run down the hill after the cheese．However，as the cheese can reach speeds of up to 70 miles per hour，it rarely happens that someone catches the cheese．（38）DIn the festival，grown men jump over newborns，with their parents'permission．（39）GThis custom has been observ ed since 1620； any onlookers who seem to be in need of"cleaning"also get involved in the event．
（40）EThis Naked Festival（裸体节） is held in dozens of places throughout Japan every year，usually in summer or winter．Hidden somewhere in these men is one fully naked man，and touching him is believed to bring good luck．

A．So what happens during a cheese roll？
B．It is held in honor of Rama，the greatest of the Gods．
C．This event is very boring．
D．The first to reach the bottom wins the cheese．
E．There is a Japanese festival where participants wear little clothing．
F．Everyone takes an active part in it．
G．Wearing scary costumes，the Spanish men attempt to"clean"babies of evil（邪恶）．
9．Anna Schiferl hadn't even got out of bed when she reached for her cell phone and typed a text to her mum，one recent Saturday．Mom was right downstairs in the kitchen．The text？Anna wanted an egg for breakfast．Soon after，Joanna Schiferl called，"If you want to talk to me，Anna，come downstairs and see me？"Anna laughs about it now．"I was kind of being lazy，"she admits．
    These days，many people with cell phones prefer texting to a phone call．And that's creating a communication divide-the talker vs．the texters．Some would argue that it's no big deal．But many experts say the most successful communicators will，of course，have the competence to do both．And they fear that more of us are unable to have-or at least are avoiding-the traditional face-to-face conversations．
    Many professors say it is not common to see students outside of class．"I sit in my office hours lonely now because if my students have a question，they email me，often late at night，"says Rence Hosuton，a professor at the University of Puget Sound in Washington state．"And they never call．"
    As Anna sees it："There are people you'll text，but won't call．It's just a way to stay in touch with each other．"Some believe that scores of texts each day keep people more connected．"The problem is that conversation is not very deep，"says Joseph Grenny，co-author of the book Cultural Conversations：Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High．
"The problem has been there since we've had telephones-probably since the time of a telegraph，"Grenny says．Texting is just the latest way to do that．Though they may not always be so good at deep conversations themselves，Grenny suggests that parents model the behavior for their children and put down their own cell phones．He says that they also should set limits，as Anna's mom did when she made the"no texting to people in the same house"rule．

3．In the past ten years，America's National Basketball Association （NBA） has grown increasingly dependent on the rest of the world to supply players．
   When Michael Jordan and Larry Bird won gold in Barcelona in 1992，the Americans were praised for teaching the world how to play basketball．This season，however，20 percent of NBA name lists will be filled by non-Americans．NBA commissioner David Stern happily embraces the trend．On a visit to Paris in October，Stern outlined his view for the future，which is likely to see Europe hosting NBA games by 2010．

"Our experience in China has been that it is going to be explosive in its growth，"said Stern．The strategy（战略，策略） in China is television．"We've made 14 deals in China with local and national networks on cable and satellite．"The success of Chinese centre Yao Ming has paved the way for the NBA marketing blitz in China．The NBA，which is broadcast in more than 200 countries in 42 languages，will put that to the test in October 2004 when the Houston Rockets play two pre-season games against the Sacramento Kings in Beijing and Shanghai．The NBA knows that it needs a global market to compensate for tough times on home soil．
"It doesn't matter where the players come from，all the NBA teams now know that they have to find internationally，"said Terry Lyons，the NBA's vice-president of international public relations．"It has increased the level of competition here．"As Frenchman Tony Parker and Argentine Emanuel Ginobili showed in winning championship rings with the San Antonio Spurs last season，many people can earn the respect of their American peers．Others，such as the Houston Rockets'Chinese centre Yao Ming-number one draft pick in 2002-and the Detroit Pistons'18-year-old Serb Darko Milicic-number two overall in this year's draft-are icons（偶像）in-waiting．It is the last revolution-the rest of the world teaching the US how to play basketball．
