1.The following are letters to the editor of a school newspaperDear editor,
I'd like to express my opinion about grades.Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades.Fortunately,most educators are becoming aware of the fact that students have different interests and abilities.I understand that grades are useful,but grades often limit creativity.Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to pursue music,dramatics and sports.Grades force an arbitrary(武断的) standard of success on everyone.I do not demand as some extremists do,that grades be removed immediately.However,I do believe that less emphasis should be placed on grades.I hope that someday grades will become optional at Village High School.

Dear editor,
I'd like to say something about grades.Let's face the facts about grades.Grades perform three basic functions.First,grades motivate students to work at their highest level of competence.Second,they act as a reward for hardworking students and as a punishment to students who do not work hard.Finally,grades are used as an effective standard by which to measure student achievement.Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs,and most of them say that they were hired primarily on the basis of their grades.My grades helped me land a part-time job and will help me get into university next year.I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.

分析 这篇文章是两封写给编辑的信,信中就高中是否应该重视成绩给出了不同的观点.

18.After a tornado touched down in a small town nearby,all the local newspapers carried stories featuring some of the families who suffered the hardest.A particular picture(41)especially touched me.A young woman stands in front of a totally destroyed home,a pained expression twisting(使扭曲) her features.A young boy,seven or eight years old,stands at her side,eyes downcast.A tiny girl stares into the camera,eyes wide with confusion and(42)fear.This would be a good (43)opportunity to teach my children to(44)help those less fortunate than themselves.
I taped the picture to our refrigerator,explaining their (45)difficulty to my seven-year-old twins,Brad and Brett,and to three-year-old Meghan."We have so much,and these( 46)poor people now have nothing,"I said."We will (47)share what we have with them."
I sorted through our (48)clothes and (49)encouraged the boys to go through their toys and 50.donate some of their less favorite things.
Brad and Brett (51)placed the toys they had chosen to donate into a box while I filled it with clothes.Meghan walked up with Lucy,her much-loved doll hugged (52)tightly to her chest.She 53.stopped in front of the box that held the (54)toys,gave Lucy a(55)final kiss,and then laid her gently on top of the other toys."Oh,honey,"I said."You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much."
Meghan nodded seriously,eyes glistening(闪光) with held-back (56)tears."Lucy makes me happy,Mommy.Maybe she'll make that other little girl (57)happy,too."
I stared at Meghan for a long moment.I suddenly( 58)realized that true generosity is(59)giving that which you cherish(珍爱) most.I,who had wanted to teach,had been taught.
Without a word,the boys went to their rooms.They came back with their (60)favorite toys and placed them in the box next to Lucy.Swallowing back tears,I pulled all three of them into my arms.
