3．Robert Moody，52，is an experienced police officer．Much of his work involves dealing with （16）drugan gang （团伙）problems in the schools of his community．Knowing that many kids often （17）ranintotrouble，he decided to do something about it．So in 1991 he began to invite small groups of kids to go fishing with him on his day （18）off．
Those fun trips had a（n） （19）lastingimpact．A chance encounter in 2000proved that．One day，（20）whileworking security at a school basketball game，Moody noticed two young guys （21）quarreling．He sensed trouble between them． （22）Suddenlyone of them headed toward Moody and gave him a hug．"I （23）rememberyou．You took me （24）fishingwhen I was in fifth grade．That was one of the （25）bestdays of my life．"
Deeply touched by the boy's word，Moody decided to create a foundation（基金会）that （26）introducesteenagers to the basics of fishing in camping programs．"As a policeman，I saw （27）wherethere was violence，drugs were always behind it．They have a damaging （28）impacton the kids，"says Moody．
By turning kids on to fishing，he （29）intendedto present an alternative way of life，"When you're sitting there waiting for a （30）bite，"he says，"you can't help but talk to each other，and such （31）conversationscan be pretty deep．"
"Talking about drugs helped prepare me for the peer（同龄人）pressures in high school，"says Michelle，17who （32）participatedinthe first program．"And I was able to help my little brother （33）avoiddrugs．"
Moody faces 34in three years，when he hopes to run the foundation full-time．"I'm living a happy life and I have a responsibility to my 35to give back，"Moody says．"If I teach a kid to fish today，he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow．"

1．When I first entered university，my aunt，who is an English professor，gave me s new English dictionary．I was （36）surprisedto se that it was an English English dictionary，also known as a monolingual dictionary．（37）Althoughit was a dictionary intended for non-native learners，none of my classmates had one （38）and，to be honest，I found it extremely （39）difficult to use at first．I would look up words in the dictionary and （40）still not fully understand the meaning，I wad used to the （41）familiar bilingual dictionaries，in which the words are （42）explained both in English and Chinese，i really wondered why my aunt （43）decided to make things so difficult for me．Now，after studying English at university for three years，I （44）understand that monolingual dictionaries are（45）better in learning a foreign language
As I found out，there is （46）in fact often NO perfect equivalence（对应）between two （47）words in two language．My aunt even goes so far as to （48）declare that a Chinese"equivalent"can never give you the （49）exact meaning of a word in English!（50）Therefore，she insisted that I read the definition（定义） of a world in a monolingual dictionary （51）when I wanted to get a better understanding of its meaning． （52）Gradually，I have come to see what she meant．
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way．This dictionary uses a（n）（53）limited number of words，around 2，000，in its definitions．When I read these definitions，I am（54）repeatedly exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to explain objects and ideas．（55）Because ofthis，I can express myself more easily in English．

4．I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because．I didn't like attention drawn to myself．And （36）unless otherwise assigned （指定） a seat by the teacher．I always （37）chose to sit at the back of the classroom．
All this （38）changed after I joined a sports team．It began when a teacher suggested．I try out for the basketball team．At first I thought it was a crazy（39）idea because I didn't have a good sense of balance nor did I have the（40）ability to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease me．But for the teacher who kept insisting on my"（41）going for it"，I wouldn't have decided to give it a try．
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the （42）half of it．When I first startedattending（43）attending the practice sessions．I didn't even know the rules of the game much （44）less what I was doing．Sometimes I'd get （45）confused and take a shot at the wrong direction-which made me feel really stupid．（46）Fortunately．I wasn't the only one"new"at the game，so I decided tofocus（47）focus on learning the game，do my best at each practice session，and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn't （48）know"just yet"．
I practiced and practiced．Soon I knew the （49）rules and the"moves"Being part of a team was fun and motivating．Very soon the competitive （50）part in me was winning over my lack of confidence．With time，I learned how to play and made friends in the （51）process-friends who respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player．I never had so much fun!
With my （52）improved self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates．I have gone from"（53）hiding"in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself．（54）to raising my hand-even when I sometimes wasn't 100percent （55）sure I had the right answer．Now I have more self-confidence in myself．
