When I was twelve years old, my family were the first black people to move into an all-white part of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Many of our new 　1 weren’t very welcoming. Some of the adults said 　2 that we should return where we came from. The 　3 sometimes threw stones at me or 　4　 me home from school.

Most of my teachers 　5 ignored me, but not Dorothy Bean, my history teacher. Miss Bean was angry at how badly I was being 　6 , but she didn’t say this to me. Miss Bean showed her 　7 for me by teaching me just like anyone else. 　8 being unnoticed, I was given a 　9 to show that I was smart. Miss Bean was the first teacher who ever made me 　10 for myself. She insisted on knowing what I thought about difficult 　11 . Was Thomas Jefferson right to buy Louisiana from France? Why? She 　12 me to have an opinion and to be able to 　13 it up. Miss Bean was teaching me that thinking for oneself was the real 　14 to success in learning.

One day, when I was not 　15 in class, Miss Bean suddenly threw an eraser at me. Unbelievably, the eraser hit me right on the hand and 　16 my pencil flying.

So that’s the story of how Dorothy Bean made me her target, and how I became just another 　20 in school.

There is so much competition in the world where we live. Every single person has a(n) 26 to succeed and be the best at what they can. There are college basketball players 　27 reaching the professional level and students trying their best to get an “A” on their math test. We meet businessmen that have 　28 a lot of money. We all have a role 　29 we look up to, or have looked up to at some point in life, whether it is a respected elder in our family, a trusted friend around us, or a(n) 　30 person often appearing on TV screens or magazine covers.

It is 　31 having role models and looking up to people that 　32 us. However, how often do you ask yourself, “Why is he smarter than me?” or “How did this person achieve such a great 　33 at such a young age?” I went to a great high school that was very 　34 and demanding; I saw many very 　35 students graduate and get into a famous school. I also 　36 when I got my math test papers back, I sometimes 　37 why I never got consistent “A”s like the student sitting two seats away from me.

However, what I 　38 after entering college was that one should never 　39 their skills or levels of success with other people’s. Every single person is 　40 and we all have some sort of unique talent. If you are not good at 　41 or want to improve a specific skill, you have to learn how to be patient and understand your 　42 and try to overcome them.

The 　43 is that you can all become an honor student if you want to or even improve your running skills. But you have to keep in 　44 that understanding your weaknesses and strengths is a very 　45 step in the process. You have to learn how to look at yourself and set goals step by step so that you can track your improvement.

With a good shopping position and the right amount（数量）of money , any educated person ought to be able to make a living out of a bookshop . It is not a difficult trade to learn and the large chain-stores can never force the small bookseller out of existence as they have done to the corner shop . But the hours of work are very long-I was only doing a part-time job , but my boss put in a seventy-hour week ,besides regular journeys out of shopping hours to buy books .

　　　 The real reason why I should not like to be back in the book trade for life , however , is that while I was in it, I lost my love of books . A bookseller cannot always tell the truth about his books , and that gives him a dislike for them . There was a time when I really did love books—loved the sight and smell and feel of them—if they were fifty or more years old , that is . Nothing pleased me quite so much as to buy a bargain lot of them on sale for several pounds . There is a peculiar flavour（独特的味道）about the unexpected books you pick up in that kind of collection: little-known eighteenth-century poets , or out-of-date geography books . For occasional reading—in your bath , for example , or late at night when you are too tired to go to bed—there is nothing as good as a very old picture story-book .

　　　 But as soon as I went to work in the bookshop, I stopped buying books . Seen in a mass, five or ten thousand at a time , books were dull and even a little tiresome . Nowadays I do buy one occasionally , but only if it is a book that I want to read and can’t borrow , and I never buy rubbish .

64. According to the passage , 　　 is one of the necessary conditions to run a bookshop .

　　　 A. an educated shop-owner　　

　　　 B. a good position at a street corner

　　　 C. a regular journey out of the shop　　

　　　 D. the force of large chain-stores

65. The author should not like to be back as a bookseller for life because 　　 .

　　　 A. he hated his job of selling books　　　

　　　 B. selling books was only a part-time job

　　　 C. the books in the shop gave him a dislike

　　　 D. he was unable to be honest about the books he sold

66. The books preferred by the author should be those 　　 .

　　　 A. stories making readers sleepless　　　　　

　　　 B. valuable ones bought on sale

　　　 C. peculiar ones with great expectation　　　　

　　　 D. geography ones from the eighteenth century

67. The author will only buy new books 　　 .

　　　 A. if he feels dull and tired　　　　　　　

　　　 B. after he gives up his job as a bookseller

　　　 C. which are interesting but hard to borrow

　　　 D. when he throws away old ones
