“Leave him alone,” I shouted as I walked out of the orphanage(孤儿院) gate and saw several of the Spring Park School bullies(欺负弱者的人) pushing the deaf kid around. I did not know the boy at all
1
I knew that we were about the same age, because of his size. He lived in the old white house across the street from the orphanage where I
2
. I had seen him on his front covered entrance several times doing absolutely nothing, except just sitting there making funny hand movements.
In the summer time we didn’t get much to eat
3
Sunday supper, except watermelon and then we had to eat it behind the dining room so we would not make a mess on the
4
inside. The only time that I would see him was through the high chain-link fence that surrounded the
5
when we ate our watermelon outside.
The deaf kid started making all kinds of hand
6
, really fast. “You are a stupid idiot,” said the bigger of the two bullies
7
he pushed the boy down on the ground. The other bully ran around behind the boy and kicked him as hard as he could in the back. The deaf boy’s body started
8
all over and he curled up in a ball trying to protect and hide his face. He looked like he was trying to cry, or something but he just couldn’t make any
9
.
I ran as fast as I could back through the orphanage gate and into the thick bushes. I uncovered my home-made bow which I had
10
out of bamboo and string. I grabbed four arrows that were also made of bamboo. Then I ran back out the gate with an arrow lifted in the
11
and I just stood there quietly, breathing really hard just
12
either one of them to kick or touch the boy again.

It was pouring outside. We all stood there
1
, some patiently, others annoyed
2
nature messed up their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens
3
away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain.” a girl’s voice
4
me.
“No, honey. We’11 wait until it
5
down a bit.” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and
6
: “Mom, let’s run through the rain.”
“We’11 get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No. we won’t, Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said as she
7
her Mom’s arm.
“This morning?
8
did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said, ‘If God can get us through this, he can get us through
9
.’”
The entire crowd turned
10
. Mom paused and thought for a moment about
11
she would say.
Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being
12
. But then we heard, “Honey, you are
13
. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,” Mom said. Then
14
they ran.
We all stood
15
, smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were
16
by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the
17
to their cars. Circumstances or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your
18
. But no one can ever take away your precious
19
. So, don’t forget to make time and take the
20
to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run though the rain.

My friends and I had just finished lunch at a hotel when it started to pour heavily. When it became lighter. I decided to
1
the rain to get my car. which was parked at my office three streets away.
My friends
2
that I shouldn't go,
3
I was seven months pregnant (怀孕的) then. I told them that I'd be very
4
. One of them wanted to come with me but I
5
that she should stay with another friend who needed
6
with her baby.
I walked out of the hotel and started making my
7
to the car. At the traffic junction (交叉路口), a car
8
and the passenger got off with an umbrella.
9
I knew what was happening, he walked right beside me and told me he'd accompany me to my
10
. I was very embarrassed and
11
, but he was very persistent (坚持的).
During our walk, he kept telling me to walk
12
, as the ground was wet. When we got to the car park. I thanked him and we
13
. I did not get his name and may not even
14
him now. Did he purposely stop for me? I'11 never know.
So how did I pay it
15
? I was at home when I
16
two Indian construction workers walking in the heavy rain. They were probably on their way to the construction site near my home, which was a long walk. I went out and
17
them an umbrella. The two men were wet through. They were
18
by my gesture, and I told them they should take the umbrella and keep it. They were very
19
and like me, probably wondered why a stranger was
20
such kindness.

My parents operated a small restaurant in Seattle.It was open twenty-four hours a day, six days a week.And my first real job,when I was six years old,was
1
the diners’ shoes.My father had done it when he was young,so he taught me
2
to do it efficiently,telling me to
3
to re-shine the shoes if the customer wasn’t
4
.
Working in the restaurant was a cause of great
5
because I was also working for the good of the family.But my father
6
that I had to meet certain standards to be part of the team.I
7

.
I was
9
paid for the work I did at the restaurant.One day I made the mistake of advising Dad that he
10
give me $10 a week.He said,“OK.How about you paying me for three meals a day you have here? And
11
the times you bring in your friends for free soft drinks?” He
12
I owed him about $40 a week.
I remember returning to Seattle after being
13
in the US Army for about two years.I had just been promoted to Captain at that time.And full of pride,I walked into my parents’ restaurant,but the
14
thing Dad said was,“How about your
15
up tonight?” I couldn’t
16
my ears! I am an officer in the Army! But it didn’t
17
as far as Dad was concerned,I was just
18
member of the team.I reached for the mop(拖把).Working for Dad has taught me the devotion to a

is above all.It has nothing to do with
20
that team is involved in a family restaurant or the US Army.

One family, which had emigrated from Japan and settled at the turn of the century near San Francisco, had established a business in which they grew roses and trucked them into San Francisco three mornings a week.
The other family was a naturalized(加入国籍的)family from Switzerland who also marketed roses, and
1
families became modestly successful,
2
their roses were known in the markets of San Francisco for their
3
vase-life.
For four decades the two families were neighbors, and the sons
4
the farms, but then on December 7, 1941, Japan
5
Pearl Harbor. Although the rest of the family members were American, the
6
of the Japanese family had never been naturalized. In the turmoil(动乱) and the questions about internment camps(拘留营), his neighbor made it clear that, if
7
, he would look after his friend’s nursery(花圃). It was
8
each family had learned in church—Love the neighbor as thyself. “You would do
9
for us, ” he told his Japanese friend.
It was not long before the Japanese
10
was transported to a poor landscape in Granada, Colorado. The relocation center consisted of tar-paper-roofed barracks (兵营)
11
by barbed wire and armed guards.
A full year went by. Then two. Then three. While the
12
neighbors were in internment, their friends worked in the greenhouses, the
13
before school and on Saturdays, and the father's work often stretched to 16 and 17 hours. And then
14
, when the war in Europe had
15
, the Japanese family packed up and
16
a train. They were going home.
What would they find? The family was
17
at the train station by their neighbors, and when they got to their home, the whole Japanese family stared.. There was the nursery, complete, clean and shining in the sunlight, neat, prosperous and healthy.
So was the balance of the bank passbook
18
to the Japanese father. And the house was
19
as clean and welcoming as the nursery.
And there on the dining room
20
was one perfect red rosebud, just waiting to unfold- the gift of one neighbor to another.

I devote myself to music because of my grandmother. My mom and I lived with my grandparents from the time I was two
1
I was eight. And even then, I was at their house before and after school every day while my mother was
2
.
Grandma loved music. It was she that first
3
me to Elvis Presley (猫王) as a very young child, and once I heard his music, I was truly in
4
with it. Most five-year-olds ask for
5
for birthdays, but I wanted Elvis’ albums. I would play them non-stop and
6
to the music in my grandma’s family room though my movements didn’t look good.
Grandma played the piano and
7
me to sing “America the Beautiful” and “Somewhere over the Rainbow”. I
8
started playing music on the piano, and soon Grandma was paying for me to
9
piano lessons from a lady living in the
10
. I would come home from
11
and walk three houses down for my lesson. I
12
took about nine months of lessons, but it was enough to give me a foundation (基础) and
13
me to continue to teach myself.
Last month when I came home to visit Grandma in the hospital, I
14
my guitar with me. She was in a lot of pain, but the music seemed to
15
her soul. She had me sing some songs and when I started to sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”, her weakened voice
16
in with mine for a few lines. That experience was one of the most
17
of my lifetime and one I will certainly cherish forever. I told her of my music career and she was very
18
and said, “That’s wonderful!” I
19
to play for her throughout the week I was home.
My grandma passed away two days ago. In my opinion, part of her will live on through every
20
I write or sing in my life.

In order to separate loving parents from their freshman sons, Morehouse College in Atlanta has held a/an
1
"Parting Ceremony."
When University of Minnesota freshmen
2
at the end of this month, parental separation will be a little trickier: mothers and fathers will be
3
to a reception elsewhere
4
students can meet their roommates and talk about dorm room space --
5
adult breaking in.
In the latest wave in which superinvolved parents
6
their children to college, universities are
7
activities
8
to speed the separation. In the age of MSN and twice-daily texts home,
9
colleges are urging "sticky parents" to leave sooner so students can
10
independence.
Grinnell College here, like others, has found it
11
to make it clear when parents
12
say goodbye. After computer printers and bags had been carried to dorm rooms, everyone gathered in the gymnasium, students on one side,
13
on the other.
Shortly
14
, mothers and fathers were urged to leave campus.
Moving their students in usually takes a few hours. Moving on? Most deans can tell
15
of parents who hang around campus for days. At Colgate University in Hamilton, N.Y. "We recognize it's a
16
day for families," Beverly Low, the dean(学监) of first-year students said.
17
, during various parent meetings on Colgate's move-in day, Ms. Low and other officials plan to tell the parents
18
that "activities for the class of freshmen begin at 4 on time, so parents should leave before 4." she said.
Formal departure ceremonies are unusual
19
growing in popularity, said Joyce Holl, head of the National Orientation Directors Association. A more common method is for colleges to limit the hour for last hugs.
20
, the parents of Princeton freshmen learn from the move-in schedule, "the rest events are intended for students only."

I was sitting in the surgical waiting area at the hospital waiting for word of my wife's operation. The small room was filled with other families and friends who were
1
waiting to hear how their loved ones were doing.
There was a young boy sitting quietly in the
2
.He held a small box of
3
in one hand and a tablet( 写字板)in the other. Every so often he'd place the tablet on his lap and draw something. As the hours passed I began to see the room almost
4
.And there was a strange silence.
“Daddy,when is Mommy going home?”the young boy asked,breaking the
5
.
“Tomorrow,”his father replied. The boy picked up his crayons and

him as he moved his feet back and forth,looking up at the ceiling and then toward the sunshine-filled window.“When's
8
,Daddy?”he asked. His father
9
him over to sit by him. “Come,
10
here next to me,”he said with a gentle tone in his voice.
11

The man

out and held his son by his shoulders.
“There are three days in life. Yesterday,today and tomorrow. One is over and done,one we live in,the other we
13
.We can't live in yesterday,but if we are happy enough today,we will be even happier tomorrow,”he said in an attempt to
14
the boy.
The little boy looked at him for a moment and said,“If Mommy is going home tomorrow,I'11 be
15
. So,I want it to be tomorrow already, Daddy.”
Now hanging on every word of this
16
,I leaned forward to hear his response. It was
17

“Son,the one great thing about today is once it

,it is already almost tomorrow.”
I thought about how
19
it was. Even in my adult life. I still live waiting for what tomorrow may

I know that it's hard to devote enough time to class and to social efforts. But, I wanted to succeed in both. I knew this would be a
1
but didn't realize how much until classes began.
I
2
on well with the other girls who lived in my dorm. Often,
3
finishing my homework before it was
4
to hand in, I went upstairs and had ice cream with my neighbor. I
5
finished it the next day between classes. But I knew it wasn't very good and the
6
I received showed my lack of
7
.I realized that I needed to find some sort of
8
.So, the next day I created a
9
that would
10
my time up between going to class, doing homework, and relaxing. It seemed like a good idea,
11
I was only able to
12
it for a few days. A schedule like that had too much
13
.So I tried another plan. This one
14
lists and common sense. Each week I made a list of
15
I had to get done during that week and by which day I had to have it done. Then,
16
the list of things I had to get done, I made a list of things I could do if I had the time. This is the
17
I have used since then. Now, I have started my senior year and I feel time is
18
. Scheduling my time has become more challenging, but I continue to do it.
My cousins, who are now in college, tell me that there are a lot of books to read by yourself and many different things to do, with various people and organizations. So I'm
19
that I've learned to balance things and it has helped
20
me for what is to come after graduation.

SECTION B
Directions ; For each blank in the following passage there are four words of phrases marked with A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with a word that best fits the context.
This is a true story about something that happened between a customer of General Motors and its Customer - Care Executive (客服主管).The following complaint was received by General Motors. "???It may sound crazy, but it's a fact that every time I buy a
1
ice cream, and come back from the store, my car won't start. If I get any other kind of ice cream, the car starts
2
fine, why?" The executive was
3
about the letter, but sent an engineer to check it out anyway.
The
4
made three visits to the store with the customer. The first time, he got chocolate ice cream. The car started. The second time, he ordered strawberry. The car started. The third time he got vanilla. The car failed to start. The engineer
5
to believe that the man's car was allergic (过敏的)to vanilla ice cream. He
6
his visits, and noted all sorts of data: the types of gas used and the time it took to drive back and forth.
Soon he came a clue: it took the man less
7
to buy vanilla than any other flavor (味道). Why? The answer was in the layout (布局)of the store. Vanilla, as the most
8
flavor, was in the front of the store for quick pickup. All the other flavors were kept further back, where it took longer to buy them.
Time was now the
9
not the vanilla ice cream! The engineer quickly put forward an answer: “engine trouble." The extra time taken to get any other flavor
10
the engine to cool down longer. When the man got vanilla, the engine was still too hot to start.
Even crazy 一 looking problems can be real. What really
11
is your attitude to the problem.
Don't just say something is "IMPOSSIBLE" without putting a sincere effort into
12
it out. If you look closer, you may discover that it's possible after all.
