Today I’m known for my voice. No one believes that I used to stuttered (口吃) badly when I was young. It is Professor Crouch’s trick that          my life completely. One day. after giving my poem to him, I waited for his comment. It didn't come. Instead, as the students gathered together, he challenged me. "Jim, I don't think you wrote this."
I        him in disbelief. "Why," I started, anger flooding me, "of course I        ! "Well, then," he said, "you've got to prove it by getting up and reciting it      memory."
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up. For a moment I stood       . Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way through!
Afterwards, Professor Crouch congratulated me, and      me to read other writers' poetry publicly.
Before long I discovered I did have a(n)         and found my fellow students actually looked forward to hearing me recite.

A lesson of life

After graduating from college, I       that mother was right. I had decided to try for a job in radio, then work my way up to sports announcer. I travelled to Chicago by getting        rides from drivers of passing cars and knocked on the door of every station-and got turned      every time.
In one studio, a kind lady told me that big stations couldn't     hiring inexperienced person-"Go out in the countryside and find a small station that'll give you a        , " she said.
I returned home to Dixon, Illinois. While there was no radio-announcing jobs in Dixon, my father said Montgomery Ward had opened a store and wanted a      athlete to manage its sports department. Since Dixon was where I had played high school football, I      .  The job sounded just       for me. But I wasn't      .
My      must have shown. "Everything happens for the best," Mom      me. Dad      me the car to job hunt. I tried WOC Radio in Davenport, Iowa. The program director, a wonderful Scotsman named Peter MacArthur, told me they had already hired an announcer.
As I left his office,  I felt extremely       .I asked       ,  " How can a fellow get to be a sport announcer if he can't get a job in a radio station?"
I was waiting for the elevator         I heard MacArthur calling,  " What was that you said about sports? Do you know anything about football?" Then he stood me       a microphone (麦克风) and asked me to broadcast an      game.
On my way home, as I have many times since,  I thought of my mother's words: " Keep on trying until some day you succeed. Something wouldn't have happened if not for that previous failure. " I often wonder what       my life might have taken if I'd got the job at Montgomery

Not too long ago, our teacher, being a “tree-hugger” (as the kids call her), had us write an essay on an environmental issue . I was eager to start, but something made me stop.
“What is an environmental issue ?” one kid asked . “What if we don’t care about the environment ?” another complained. “ It’s not like it affects me .”
These comments astounded me .I have always cared about the environment and assumed that others did too. From the surprised look on my teacher’s face, I could tell she felt the same way.
In no time, I finished my essay . In my essay I wrote about logging(伐木), which is an important industry, but if we continue to cut down trees without replacing them, it will damage the environment.
There are so many things that we can do to save our world. Recycling, of course, is always a good thing, but not everyone has a recycling plant nearby ( I don’t ) . There are other ways to help the environment . Plant a tree. Don’t waste water.
I can’t stand it when a person’s excuse for not caring is “Nothing’s going to happen in my lifetime, so why should I care ?” Sure, the chances of something terrible happening are slim, but I want people to realize that if we don’t deal with it, someone will have to eventually. Do you want that to be your children ?
When my teacher told me to read my essay to my class, I was a little embarrassment because I didn’t want everyone to call me “tree- hugger”. I realize now that if being a tree-hugger means you cares about the environment, I’m a tree-hugger 100 percent. I just wish more people were too.
小题1:Why do the students call her teacher “tree-hugger” ?
A．She likes hugging trees.
B．She knows a lot about trees.
C．She grew up in the country.
D．She cares a lot about the environment.
小题2:The underlined word in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ____.
A．helpedB．changedC．shockedD．interested
小题3:Paragraph 5 is mainly about ____.
A．what we can recycle
B．how we can save the earth
C．why we should protect the earth
D．what damage we are doing to the earth
小题4:We can infer from the text that _____
A．the students don’t like the teacher
B．the teacher liked the author’s essay
C．the author is ashamed of being a tree-hugger
D．the author should have written a better essay
On my first visit to India with my husband, we met a really nice woman named Uma on the plane. Talking with her made the long flight     much faster.

We piled into the small car, already     with family members who had come to      Uma home.      
At the house, Uma's family took us in      we had known one another for a long time. They fed us delicious Indian meals, took us on      of their city and brought us to their favorite temples. On     morning. their driver brought us to the airport, where we were happy to find our bags,      and sound.

A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment (预约) into the outer        of Harvard’s president. But they were       by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,        that the couple would finally become       and go away. But they didn’t.

A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a       face. The lady told him, “We had a son that        Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was        here.

The president wasn’t        . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this       would look like a cemetery (墓地).” “Oh, no,” the lady       quickly, “we don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a        to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and         at the couple and then exclaimed（呼喊）, “A building! Do you have any        how much a building costs? We have spent over $ 7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was    , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a       ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.

Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was ready for new      in high school.
  , high school was different. In the first week, Jenna went to tryouts(选拔赛) for cheerleaders(拉拉队队员). She was competing against very talented girls, and she knew it would be      for her to be selected. Two hours later, the     read a list of the girls for a second tryout.

Later in    class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much      . By the end of class, she understood how to get them right. As she gathered her books, Jenna decided she’d continue to try to     at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to     .

When Sally Ride was ten years old, she had no idea that she would some day grow up to be one of America’s first woman astronauts. In fact, if you had asked her then what wanted to be, she would have said, “ I want to play shortstop for the Los Angeles Dodgers.” Sally collected baseball cards by the boxful, and she knew the name and batting average (击球率)of every player in the National League.
But major league baseball didn’t seem much of a possibility for a girl, even an athletic one like Sally, so her father and mother talked her into taking tennis lessons when she was twelve. At first she hated to trade in her baseball bat for a tennis racket, but it wasn’t long before she started to win tournaments in her new sport. “ Tennis became much more fun when I started winning,” Sally remembers. Soon a row of trophies （奖牌）replaced her box of baseball cards, and tennis star Billie Jean King replaced Dodger shortstop Maury Wills as her sports idol.
Sally first became interested in the space program in 1962 when astronaut John Glenn orbited the earth in his Mercury space capsule. Sally was ten years old at the time, but she remembers the launch and the splashdown (掉落) as if they happened yesterday. The girl who used to memorize batting averages became a space fan. She quickly learned the name of every NASA astronaut(there were only eight of them in 1962), the date of every launch, and the name and number of every spacecraft from Freedom 7 to Skylab 3. She could tell you the speed of light (186,300 miles per second), the distance to the moon (238,860 miles), and the names of the three nearest stars( the Sun, Alpha Centauri, and Barnard’s Star).
By the time she was sixteen, Sally had decided to become an astrophysicist, a scientist who studies space. She had also become a nationally ranked tennis player. She remembers yawning（打哈欠） through an important tennis match on June 20, 1969, after staying up all night to watch Neil Armstrong’s first steps on the moon. Sally lost the match.
As Sally got older, many of her friends started playing professional tennis. Some of them tried to talk her into quitting school to join them on the professional tennis circuit. But Sally said no. “ Black holes are more interesting to me than backhands,” she told them. Now she knows that she made the right choice, but in 1970 Sally had no way of knowing that NASA would open the space program to women.
