    Jenna, a popular girl from Westwood Middle School, had graduated first in her class and was

ready for new 16 in high school. 17, 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 18 for her to be selected. Two hours later, the 19 read a list of the girls for a

second tryout. Her heart 20 as the list ended without her name. Feeling 21, she walked home

carrying her schoolbag full of homework.

Arriving home, she started with math. She had always been a good math student, but now she was 22. She moved on to English and history, and was 23 to find that she didn’t have any trouble with those subjects. Feeling better, she decided not to 24 math for the time being.

The nest day Jenna went to see Mrs. Biden about being on the school 25. Mrs. Biden wasn’t as 26 as Jenna. “I’m sorry, but we have enough 27 for the newspaper already. Come back next year and we’ll talk then.” Jenna smiled 28 and left. “Why is high school so 29?” she sighed.

Later in 30 class, Jenna devoted herself to figuring out the problems that had given her so much 31. 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 32 at her new school. She wasn’t sure if she’d succeed, but she knew she had to 33. High school was just as her mom had said: “You will feel like a small fish in a big pond 34 a big fish in a small pond. The challenge is to become the 35 fish you can be.”

I know I should have told the headmaster at the time. That was my real  36 .

He had gone out of the study for some  37 , leaving me alone. In his absence I looked to see  38  was on his desk. In the  39  was a small piece of paper on which were written the  40  “English Writing Prize 1949. History Is a Serious of Biographies (人物传记)”.

A(n)  41  boy would have avoided looking at the title as soon as he saw the  42 . I did not. The subject of the English Writing Prize was kept a  43  until the start of the exam so I could not  44  reading it.

When the headmaster  45 , I was looking out of the window.

I should have told him what had  46  then. It would have been so  47  to say: “I’m sorry, but I  48  the title for the English Writing Prize on your desk. You’ll have to  49  it.”

The chance passed and I did not  50  it. I sat the exam the next day and I won. I didn’t  51  to cheat, but it was still cheating anyhow.

That was thirty-eight years  52  when I was fifteen. I have never told anyone about it before,  53  have I tried to explain to myself why not.

The obvious explanation is that I could not admit I had seen the title  54  admitting that I had been looking at the things on his desk.  55  there must have been more behind it. Whatever it was, it has become a good example of how a little mistake can trap (使陷入) you in a more serious moral corner (道德困境).

There is a boy called Bill in my gym class who has unbearably yellow teeth that almost make everyone feel unpleasant．Recently another boy told Bill that he should "go Ajax" his teeth．Bill was crushed．If the other boy had been thinking, he would have realized that there is a better way to handle such a situation．He could have dealt with it with tact．He could have showed this hurtful truth in a more careful, sensitive way—that's "tact"．

    If a person isn't sensitive to another's feelings, there is no way he or she can be tactful．Yesterday, my 5-year-old brother proudly announced that he had cleaned the screen on our television set．Unfortunately, he used furniture polish, which produced an oily film on the television screen．My mother smiled arid thanked him for his efforts—and then showed how to clean the screen properly．Her sensitivity enables my brother to keep his self-respect．Yet, sensitivity alone does not make tact．

    "Tactfulness" also requires "truthfulness"．Doctors, for example must be truthful．If a patient has just been disabled in an accident, a tactful doctor will tell the truth—but express it with sensitivity．The doctor may try to give the patient hope by telling them curing techniques under study or about advanced equipment now available．Doctors must use tact with patients' relatives as well．Instead of bluntly saying, "Your husband is disabled," a doctor might say, "I'm sorry, but your husband has lost feeling in his legs and．．．"

    Tact should not be confused with trickery．Trickery occurs when a nurse is about to give a patient an injection（注射） and says, "This won't hurt a bit．" Instead of trickery, the nurse might guarantee the patient that the discomfort of the injection is a small thing compared to the benefits of it．It would also be thoughtful for the nurse to tell the patients about some of these benefits．

    Tact is a wonderful skill to have, and tactful people are usually admired and respected．Without tact our society would become an intolerable place to live in．

1.The underlined word "crushed" in the first paragraph probably means____．

    A．surprised     B．cheated          C．regretful       D．painful

2.According to the author, his mother's praise for the brother is ____．

    A．sensitive and tactful               B．sensitive but not tactful enough

    C．truthful but not tactful enough                      D．sensitive but trickish

3.Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

（The numbers stand for the paragraphs）
