Passage 1

(江苏省扬州市2009届高三第三次调研测试)

You know it’s truly amazing how the Jewish people survived after thousands of years of being slaves, persecuted(追捕), and even attempted genocide (种族灭绝)when Hitler’s Nazi murdered 6 million Jews! That’s why in 1934, Germany was the 　　36　 　place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs 　　37　 　his village, the little 　　38　 　boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old.

　　 Every day Heinz’s parents taught their 　　39　 　how important it was to learn 　　40　 . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their 　　41　 　against their rulers could 　　42　 　the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their 　　43　 , sometimes crossing the street or taking a 　　44　 　road home.

　　 But one day, young Heinz was finally 　　45　 　by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was 　　46　 　to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and 　　47　 　choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he 　　48　 　his way out of trouble and 　　49　 　this bully not to hurt him 　　50　 　to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and 　　51　 　with others. It was a major 　　52　 　point that changed his life---and later changed the world.

　　　 After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring 　　53　 　between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had 　　54　 　his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the 　　55　 　US Secretary of State.
