The moment happened 30 yours ago but it was still fresh in my memory. I was a college freshman and had 26 up most of the night before laughing and talking with friends. Now just before my first 27 of the day my eyelids were feeling heavier and heavier and my head was drifting down to my desk to make my textbook a 28 . A few minutes nap(小睡)time before class couldn’t 29 , I thought.
BOOM! I lifted my head suddenly and my eyes opened wider than saucers. I looked around with my 30 beating wildly trying to find the cause of the 31 . My young professor was looking at me with a boyish(孩子气的)smile on his face. He had 32 dropped the textbooks he was carrying onto his desk. “Good morning!”, he said still 33 . “I am glad to see everyone is 34 . Now let’s get started. ”
For the next hour I wasn’t sleepy at all. It wasn’t from the 35 of my professor’s textbook alarm clock either. It was instead from the 36 discussion he led. With knowledge and good 37 he made the material come 38 . His insight was full of both wisdom and loving-kindness. And the enthusiasm and joy that he 39 with were contagious(有感染力的). I 40 the classroom not only wide awake, but a little 41 and a little better as well.
I learned something far more important than not 42 in class that day too. I learned that if you are going to do something in this life,do it well,do it with 43 . What a wonderful place this would be if all of us did our work happily and well. Don’t sleepwalk(梦游)your way through 44 then. Wake up! Let your love fill your work. Life is too 45 not to live it well.

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day holidays posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments (装饰物) shining against the green of a pine. “Where did it come from?” I asked.
“I asked the Gates boy to cut it,” my mother said. “I wouldn’t have had one just for myself, such a rush!He just brought it in this afternoon…” The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the tree top crystal star was in its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas. “It’s not like the one you used to find,” my mother went on. “Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn’t know where to look for a good one. But I couldn’t be fussy (挑剔的).”
“Don’t worry,” I told her. “It’s perfect.” It wasn’t, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

Thirteen, for me, was a challenging year. My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my f
ather, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely mad and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.?
Cowboy was without a doubt the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reason.?
I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers(窃笑) about Cowboy’s looks. I never let on about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.?
When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse was judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.?
One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.?
The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena (赛马场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.?
All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.?
My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.?
As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!?
I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.?
【小题1】 The underlined expression "shown the gate" (paragraph 4) most probably means " __________".?
| A.told how to enter the arena? |
| B.shown how to make the horse beautiful? |
| C.removed from the competition early? |
| D.told to enter the timed-speed events? |
| A.He was an inexperienced rider.? |
| B.He had not practiced enough.? |
| C.He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.? |
| D.He thought his horse wasn’t as good as the others. ? |
| A.the audience didn’t like Cowboy? | B.people envied the writer? |
| C.the win was unexpected? | D.the writer had run out of time |
| A.Life can sometimes be unfair.? |
| B.Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.? |
| C.A positive attitude will bring success.? |
| D.One should not make judgments based on appearance. |
| A.A Race to Remember | B.A Horse’s Tale? |
| C.Neck and Neck | D.A Difficult Age ? |
