People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but  31  is the window for me?
I’m not disappointed, just a little worried  32  as my roommate said, “Why are you angry with yourself once you  33  to do anything?” I had no idea. I just can’t  34  myself if I can understand some easy things. Now, I just feel  35  with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment(任务) on the lab, and what was  36  worse was that actually I didn’t understand what the  37  was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t  38  for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel  39 .
Before I came here, I was confident. But I have totally  40  it. Sometimes I can’t even find the right words: sometimes I am too shy to  41  others. I have to admit that I am  42 .
The wisest people are always  43  who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and  44  a lot of time soaking inside the workbook,  45  made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am  46  to get help the next time I have any questions. I can  47  I am not smart, But I shouldn’t hide it. I must  48  it as soon as possible. 49  I will have to waste much more time on it ---just like tonight.
Difficulties always go with me. Go  50  ! I can make it.

Today I am known for my voice. Perhaps the greatest honor came when I was asked to read The New Testament（《新约全书》）on tape .
But it  21  a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a child, I stuttered（结巴）so badly that I was completely  22  to speak in public.
 23  when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to my school. He was a retired college professor. English was his favorite subject and  24  was his deepest love. He held a book of poems as if it were a crystal,  25  pages as if uncovering treasures. When he heard that our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he felt  26  for not being a part of our school sooner.
When he  27  that I not only loved poetry but was  28  it, we became closer. There was, however, one  29 -- Professor Crouch could not stand the  30  that I refused to read my poems to the class.
“Jim, poetry is  31  to be read aloud,” he said. “You should be able to speak those beautiful words.” I shook my head and  32 .
One day he   33  me .
After handing in a poem, I waited for his  34 . It didn’t come. Instead one day as the students had gathered together, he  35  me , “Jim, I don’t think you wrote this poem.”
I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started,  36  flooding me. “of course I did !” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it from  37 .”
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there  38  Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way   39 !
Afterwards, Professor Crouch encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before the public. I discovered I did have a(n)  40  and found my classmates actually looked forward to hearing me recite.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors---sivler, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.
It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks(人行道). Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.
Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.
My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.
Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.
I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.
小题1: According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?
A．Because they are traditional and safe.
B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.
C．Because they are colorful and available.
D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.
小题2: The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended ______________.
A．to ride it for funB．to use it for transport
C．to experience local skillsD．to improve his riding skills
小题3: How did the author feel about his street crossing?
A．It was boring.B．It was difficult.
C．It was lively.D．It was wonderful.
小题4: Which of the following best describes the author’s biking experience?
A．The author enjoyed showing off his biking skills.
B．The author was annoyed by the air while riding.
C．The author was praised by the other bikers.
D．The author took great pleasure in biking.

It was a dark day, one of depression, sorrow and anger. As I climbed out of the   36   , after witnessing my time in the 100 yard freestyle, I did not feel like speaking to anyone. I saw the bright smiles of swimmers who had just   37 a best time.   38   , I had failed. Or at least that is what I thought at the time.
I was lying on my cool bed when an idea   39  me. Success is the   40  to go from failure to failure without losing your   41  . At practice the next day, I told my swimming teammates about my goal time and they all either laughed or replied with a   42  similar response like, “You can’t do it” or “Probably not”. Believe it or not, these are the responses that make my goal   43 .
Finally came the day when I had to   44  to myself and others that with     45    there is no limit to your achievements.
With the starting gun   46  , I dived with perfect form into the pool. I felt the cool water running   47  my back. I swam like a fish, bouncing off each    48   at the wall as if it was a spring board. On the   49  turn, I came back to the wall with every piece of strength I had. I   50  the final wall with my fingertips and I knew that I had swum the   51  race.
I had done it! I had achieved my best time! Joy filled my   52  like water does a cup. I saw the   53  on all of my friend’s face as I   54  out of the pool; their jaws dropped to the ground. I began to laugh and gave them the thumbs up.
I have   55  in life that having belief in yourself opens all gates. Never forget that anything the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve.

When I was young, I wanted to be a teacher if I grew up, simply because I wanted to write on the chalkboard! My teacher seemed to be the __26___ printers, curving their letters just so, and I wanted to do it   27__! Now, after “higher education”, and three__28__ career paths, I have come back to want to be a ___29____, but my reasons have changed. I was __30___ in my years of high school, to have teachers that really ___31__ me as an individual, and I want to___32___this back.
A teacher’s gentleness needs to be shown when___33__ or encouraging the students. It is important to make the corrections in order for the students to learn. ___34___, this needs to be done in a ___35____ that will help to ___36____ the student to make the changes necessary, ___37___ discouraging them from learning. Being patient is also extremely important, because the class needs to know what to ____38____from the teacher. This will also help to build a better agreement with the students, and help both the teacher and students to learn more about each other.
If a teacher exhibits a true love of ___39___ and helping students learn, many of the qualities___40___above will just fall into place. The teacher that had the most ___41___on me had the best fame in the school. She was strict, and she did demand a lot, but she was able to show us it was ____42___ she cared for us. She knew each of us was worth it, and she knew we each could do it. She ___43___ knowledge, firmly, patiently, respectfully, and most effectively. She gently encouraged us to make ___44___ when we needed to, and ___45___ us when we did. She was a true teacher, not just someone who taught, and this is the kind of teacher I hope to be.

Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to  36 about the noise. I could do  37 about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in  38 .
Still  39 ,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many  40 to complain.
Nobody can stand the endless complaints and quarrels. I soon learned that they had  41 the last few families who lived above them by the same way. So I had the information I needed and I tried to  42  every situation carefully.
I tried to walk in  43 to avoid any possible noises. Whenever they called  44 came to the door with a complaint, no matter how unreasonable, I simply listened. From their confused expressions, I could imagine that they had never expected to get a   45 attitude from me.
Of course, it was hard to keep calm but my sister and I  46 . I told my sister that we were going to be pleasant and  47 them to change their attitude to neighbors. I explained to her that they probably felt  48 in their lives because they are common people.   49 , they were always looking for a   50 to show their power so that nobody could look down upon them. I continued smiling and greeting them as I saw them, much to their  51 .On more than one occasion(不止一次), I ended up  52 them. They thanked me before they left.
Unexpectedly, the next time I saw them, they all smiled and  53 friendly. We had a short but pleasant  54 . Ever since then, they’ve been very pleasant neighbors, and we’ve become good  55 .

I learned about life from an ant farm. When I was seven years old, my family tried to __1__ an ant farm at home. First, we put clean sand in a thin glass box, and then we brought some ants from the backyard and placed them into the __2__ home.
Shortly after the new __3__ were dropped into the glass structure, they got to work making tunnels. I was amazed that each one knew __4__ what to do. After hours of staring, I realized that the ants had particular given jobs. With my mom’s help, I kept a journal of what happened each day and __5__ the ants. My favorite was the biggest, Cinderella. I drew a picture of her in my journal, which I still have.
On day five a disaster __6__ the ant farm. While I was __7__ the ants, I had put my face so close to the structure that I accidentally tipped it over, __8__ in all the tunnels. Although the ants __9__ their earthquake, one by one they began to die. I was __10__ as I watched them give up their tunnel-building to carry the bodies to a corner of the farm. My mother reported that the ants were dying of “frustration”—feeling annoyed and impatient as they couldn’t control the situation. They simply could not __11__ the reality that their tunnels had been destroyed. Cinderella was the last to die; she did so while carrying a dead ant on her back.

Working together, they were able to create a(n) __15__ world for themselves. I also learned that they should be __16__ for their hard work. Day in and day out, each labored at their task. The ant farm demonstrated that teamwork and perseverance are indeed two key __17__ to success. But there was an even larger lesson that I did not __18__ until recently: Disaster is a natural part of life, and must be __19__. Unlike the ants, humans cannot give up when they face __20__. Unlike the ants, we have to realize that if a tunnel caves in, we just have to build another.
