The summer of 1975 I’d just graduated from college in Southern California and received a Ford Car for a 36 present. I had my first job, in Los Angeles. One Sunday night, thinking myself a very 37 gown-up, I 38 my uncle’s place in South Laguna after a visit, 39 admitting to him that I had less than an eighth of a tank of gas and no 40 to buy more on the way to L.A. I pulled onto the Pacific Coast Highway and watched the 41 move down as I headed north. When the engine started giving off strong smells, I 42 into a gas station. There was no self-serve then; there were no credit cards, no ATMs.

I 43 the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, I said, or I could 44 in my car and try to walk to a town with a 45 the next morning. As he was informing me that I could sleep in my car but he’d have me arrested, a station wagon pulled up to the next 46 . The driver—a thin, plain, middle-aged guy—overheard the tail end of my 47 request. As the attendant went to 48 him, he nodded at me. “ 49 her tank first,” he said.

“Really?” I said. 50 bloomed. “Oh, thank you. Thank you. But please. I just need two 51 worth. I just need to get home.”

“Fill it,” he 52 to the attendant. Then he turned to me, “You’ll do the same one day, for someone else.”

I keep looking for someone unlucky, hoping to save her 53 on the road. Meanwhile, in case she never shows up, I try for other acts of 54 kindness. That quiet driver is always at the pump a few feet away, instructing the attendant to fill mine 55 .

This brief book is aimed at high school students , but speaks to anyone learning at any stage of life.

Its formal ,serious style closely matches its content ,a school-masterly book on schooling .The author , W .H . Armstrong ,starts with the basics : reading and writing . In his opinion , reading doesn’t just mean recognizing each word on the page ; it means taking in the information, digesting it and incorporating it into oneself just as one digests a sandwich and makes it a part of himself .The goal is to bring the information back to life , not just to treat it as dead facts on paper from dead trees . Reading and writing cannot be completely separated from each other ; in fact ,the aim of reading is to express the information you have got from the text .I’ve seen it again and again ：someone who can’t express an idea after reading a text is just as ineffective as someone who hasn’t read it at all.

Only a third of the book remains after that discussion, which Armstrong devotes to specific tips for studying languages, math, science and history. He generally handles these topics thoroughly and equally, except for some weakness in the science and math sections and a bit too much passion regarding history. Well, he was a history teacher---if conveyed only a tenth of his passion to his students, that was a hundred times more than my history teachers ever got across .To my disappointment, in this part of the book he ignores the arts. As a matter of fact, they demand all the concentration and study that math and science do, though the study differs slightly in kind. Although it’s commonly believed that the arts can only be naturally acquired ,actually ,learning the arts is no more natural than learning French or mathematics.

My other comment is that the text aged. The first edition apparently dates to the 1960s—none of the references(参考文献)seem newer than the late 1950s. As a result, the discussion misses the entire computer age.

These are small points, though, and don’t affect the main discussion. I recommend it to any student and any teacher, including the self-taught student.

A. gain knowledge and expand one’s view

A. requires great efforts

B. demands real passion

C. is less natural than learning math

D. is as natural as learning a language

3. What is a shortcoming of Armstrong’s work according to the author?

A. Some ideas are slightly contradictory.

B. There is too much discussion on studying science.

C. The style is too serious.

D. It lacks new information.

4.This passage can be classified as________.

A. an advertisement

B. a book review

C. a feature story

D. A news report

To son, Cecil,

Just a quick note before I start in earnest. When I wrote this, you were 8, still a little boy. In 2002, I was called to active duty in the Marine Corps in the war on Terrorism (恐怖主义). On the 11th of September 2001 when America was attacked, I knew that I would eventually have to go and I was filled with a deep sense of sadness. That night as you and Keiko were asleep, I looked at your little faces and couldn’t help but fight the tears. I knew it would be hard for you because I had a similar experience. When I was a little boy aged 6, my dad, your Grandpa Cawley, was sent to Vietnam during the war there. I remember how much I missed him, too. But now unfortunately I have come to realize just how rough it must have been for Grandpa to be away from his children for a year. Thinking about this, I wanted to put my thoughts and feelings down for you and your sister. I am so sorry that I had to leave for such a long time. There is no place I would rather be than with you and Keiko. You two are the lights of my life. I have known no greater joy than in the few years since you two were born. I hope to have many more years with you. If this doesn’t happen, then know that I love you more than words can express. If for some reason I don’t make it home, I will need you to take care of your little sister and your Mom. You will be the man of the Cawley family. Be good my son and God will watch over you as he has me. I will be waiting impatiently for the time when we can all be together again.

　 Well, how was it for you, then?

　 More than a million people watched the eclipse(日食)in Cornwall, in Southwestern Britain, and although they all gazed up at the same sky they had vastly different experiences.

　 Some were lucky, and the clouds broke just in time for them to see the full wonder of it all; some just stared at the clouds. Some said the disappointment was so great it ruined their holiday.

　 Few can have been as disappointed as Peter Meadows. The gardener from Enfield spent seven years planning a trip to catch the phenomenon in person but ended up 10 miles from the right spot.

　 Mr Meadows, 31, who waited to see the eclipse in Falmouth when it was visible from the nearly Lizard peninsula(半岛), said: “I fell almost sick with a sense of sudden failure. To have got so close to see this wonderful event with my own eyes and to have just missed out is so disappointing. It ruined my holiday and I will go home with a black cloud hanging over me.”

　 Rory Coleman, 37, a director of a research institute from Stratford-upon-Avon, had made more effort than most to get there; he had run all the way from john O’Groats to Land’s End to raise money for Help the Aged. “I’d waited over thirty years to see it,” he said, “But it was not like what I had dreamed.”

　 “I did think it was strange—the fact that it went dark so quickly and was cold. I thought it would be completely black, like in the middle of the night, but it wasn’t.”

　 Bill Kambo, 38, from Ashford in Middlesex, flew down to Land End in his friend’s helicopter—and has caught the bug.

　 He said: “At the beginning I was disappointed with all the clouds over. But when the darkness came you could hear all the seagulls going wild. I’m surely an eclipse follower from now on.”

1. Why does the writer begin with “Well, how was it for you , then?”

　 A. The writer didn’t watch the eclipse himself.

　 B. The writer wanted people to be interested in eclipse.

　 C. People who watched the eclipse had different experiences.

　 D. People who watched the eclipse were disappointed.

　 A. not more than a million people saw the eclipse in Cornwall

　 B. more than a million people saw the eclipse in Cornwall

　 C. people could see the eclipse everywhere in the UK

　 D. it was a sunny day when the eclipse appeared
