3.Jeremy was born with a twisted body,and terminal illness slowly killing him throughout his young life.Still,his parents had tried to give him as normal a life as possible and had sent him to St.Theresa's Elementary School.
    At the age of 12,Jeremy was only in second grade,seemingly unabl e to learn.His teacher,Doris Miller,often became angry with him.He would often disturb the class by squirming(扭动) in his seat,drooling(流口水) and making grunting(呼噜声)noises.Doris had 18 other youngsters to teach and she didn't want to waste time on Jeremy.
Spring came,and the children talked excitedly about the coming of Easter.Doris told them of the story of Jesus,and stressed the idea of new life springing forth,she gave each of them a large plastic egg."Now,"she said to them,"I want you to take this home and bring it back tomorrow with something inside that shows new life.Do you understand?""Yes,Miss Miller!"All the children responded except Jeremy.He just listened,his eyes never left her face.He did not even make his usual noises.
    The next morning,the children came to school and placed their eggs in a large basket on Doris'desk.After they completed their Math lesson,it was time to open the eggs.
In the first egg,Doris found a flower."Oh yes,a flower is certainly a sign of new life,"she said.The next egg had a plastic beautiful butterfly in it.Then Doris opened the fourth egg.It was empty!Surely it must be Jeremy's she thought,and he did not understand the instructions.
She put that egg down so she wouldn't embarrass him.Suddenly Jeremy spoke up and said"Aren't you going to talk about my egg?"Doris replied,"But Jeremy-your egg is empty!"He looked into her eyes and said softly,"Yes,but Jesus'tomb was empty too!"
   Doris asked him,"Do you know why the tomb was empty?""Oh yes!"Jeremy exclaimed."Jesus was killed and put there.Then His Father raised Him up!"
    A fter class the children excitedly ran out,but Doris cried.The cold inside her melted completely away.
    Three months later,Jeremy died.Those who paid their respects at the funeral were surprised to see 19 eggs on top of Jeremy's casket,all of them empty.

2.Art is influenced (56)bythe customs and faith of a people.Styles in Western art have changed many times.During The Middle Ages,the main aim was to represent (57)religious (religion) themes.A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbols.(58)Butit was evident that ideas were changing when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.During the Renaissance,People began to concentrate (59)less (little) on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude (60)to/towardlife.They tried to paint people and nature as they really were.This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428.By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time.
In the late 19th century,Europe changed a great deal.(61)Naturally (nature) these changes also led to new painting styles.The Impressionists were the first painters (62)to work (work) outdoors.They were eager to show how light and shadow (63)fell (fall) on objects at different times of day.
At first,the Impressionist paintings were controversial,but today they accepted as the beginning of(64)whatwe call"modern art".These styles are so different.Who can predict what painting styles there(65)will (be) in the future?

I began to run,but as I was still only half-awake,instead of going towards the stairs I went in the opposite direction.The smoke grew thicker and I could see fire all around.The floor became hot under my bare feet.I found an open door and ran into a room to get to the window.But before I could reach it,one of my feet caught in something soft and I fell down.The thing I had fallen over felt like a bundle of clothes,and I picked it up to protect my face from the smoke and heat.Just then the floor gave way under me and I crashed to the floor below with pieces of burning wood all around me.
I saw a doorway in fire,then I put the bundle over my face and ran.My feet burned me terrible,but I got through.As I reached the cold air outside,my bundle of clothes gave a thin cry,I nearly dropped it in my surprise.Then I was in a crowd gathered in the street.A woman in a night-dress and a borrowed man's coat screamed as she saw me and came running madly.
