| When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could 1 tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he 2 in class. When I took the first exam, I was 3 to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper, 4 English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained 5 . I decided to try harder, although I didn't know what that 6 because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I 7 with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn't change his 8 . One more test before the final exam. One more 9 to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time 10 the meaning of the word "thorough". But my 11 did no good and everything 12 as before. The last hurdle (障碍) was the final. No matter what 13 I got, it wouldn't cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the 14 goodbye. I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even 15 myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I'd have 16 with a test. A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into Professor Jayne's office. He 17 to be expecting me. "If I gave you the A's you 18 , you wouldn't continue to work as hard." I stared at him, 19 that his analysis and strategy (策略) were correct. I had worked my head 20 , as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I've always remembered Professor Jayne's lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence. | ||||

| When we talk about a bad man, we like to call him a "wolf". But is it really true that the wolf stands for devil and ugliness? Have you read the book The Wolf Totem (狼图腾) by a famous writer Jiang Rong which tells the story of the relationship between wolves and human beings? Have you ever 1 the wolves' world? If you had, you would 2 the wolves. In the book, wolves are heroes on the large grassland. They know more about 3 than humans. They can attack lambs without disturbing their mothers. They also know how to 4 full use of the shape of land to 5 sheep. I believe that if wolves were humans, they would be 6 experts good at fighting. The wolf is a kind of special creature that can deeply understand 7 . Each wolf serves its group with its heart and soul. A 8 wolf has little power, but a pack of wolves 9 nothing. All the wolves obey the rules. 10 they are defeated, they run away together. It is their teamwork 11 makes wolves powerful. The wolves also have great self-respect and won't 12 to anyone. The writer, who wrote the book The Wolf Totem, 13 stole a one-month-old baby wolf and raised it very carefully. To his 14 , he found the little wolf still wanted to go back with 15 wolves. He bit through the iron chain that limited him. The wolf was 16 and he never gave in, fighting 17 his death. The little wolf died as a glorious fighter. I was shocked by this kind of 18 : wolves are one of the most respected creatures on earth. I want everyone to look at wolves in a 19 way. They are our teachers. They show us how to survive and 20 in this not simple and dangerous world. Please honor the wolves, please honor all these heroes of nature! | ||||

| When I come across a good article in reading newspapers, I often want to cut and keep it. But just as I am about to do so, I find the article on the 1 side is as much interesting. It may be a discussion of the way to 2 in good health, or advice about how to 3 and conduct yourself in society. If I cut the front articles, the opposite one is likely to suffer 4 , leaving one half of it or keeping the text 5 the title. Therefore, the scissors (剪刀) would stay before they start, 6 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 7 result. Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time, both worth your 8 . You can only take up one of them; the other has to wait or be 9 up. But you know the future is unpredictable-the changed situation may not 10 you to do what is left behind. Thus you are 11 in a difficult position and feel sad. How come nice 12 and clever ideas should gather around all at once? It may happen that your life 13 greatly on your preference of your one choice to the other. In fact that is what 14 is like; we are often 15 with the two opposite sides of a thing which are both desirable (引人的) 16 a newspaper cutting. It often occurs that our attention is drawn to the thing only 17 we get into another. The 18 may be more important than the latter and give rise to a divided mind. I 19 remember a philosopher's remarks:"When one door shuts, another opens in life." So a casual (不经意的) 20 may not be a bad one. | ||||

Later people used dogs for hunting 7 other animals, and the dogs did not 8 what they got until their masters agreed. So dogs were used for 9 sheep and guarding chickens.

For a young wife, a dog is her 16 when she does not have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their 17 children have grown up and 18 .
