（C）
A Different Roast Every Day
Alan worked in an office in the city. He worked very hard and really wanted to take a holiday.
He usually went to the seaside, but one day he saw an ad（广告） in a newspaper. " Enjoy country life. Spend a few weeks at Willow Farm. Good food, fresh air, horse riding, walking, fishing. Good prices (价格)."
"This sounds like a good idea," he thought. "I'll spend a month at Willow Farm. I'll enjoy horse riding, walking and fishing. They'll make a change from sitting by the seaside."
Four days later he returned home.
"What's wrong with Willow Farm?" his friend Jack asked him. " Didn't you enjoy country life?"
"Country life was fine," Alan said, "but there was another problem."
"Oh, what?"
"Well, the first day I was there a sheep died, and we had roast mutton (烤羊肉) for dinner."
"Fresh meat is the best."
"I know, but on the second day a cow died, and we had roast beef for dinner."
"Lucky you!"
"You don't understand," Alan said. "On the third day a pig died and we had roast pork for dinner."
"A different roast every day," Jack said.
" Let me finish," Alan said, " on the fourth day the farmer died and I didn't dare to stay for dinner!"

When I was in college twenty-five years ago, I spent four summers working in 36 at a luxury hotel in downtown Chicago. 37 , I was a maid.
I did not enter the world of housekeeping enthusiastically. My friends had 38 jobs such as making ice cream, selling goods at the mall, or life guarding at the outdoor pool. I had been hoping to get a job as an office lady for a famous company: 39 pay, air-conditioned office, the gold standard for summer jobs, as most of us dreamed of. When that 40 , the only option left was to take a train ride downtown each morning to work as a maid.
It was tiring work, cleaning up to eighteen rooms a day. My 41 attitude reflected my disdain(鄙视) for cleaning toilets, 42 bed sheets, dusting, eight hours a day for the comfort of total strangers who 43 left a tip. I thought it was beneathme. My maid work was average 44  the day I was assigned to the eighteenth floor.
That was Lorena’s regular floor. The only time another maid set foot on it was on Lorena’s day off. If you left any water 45 on the mirror, or a hair on the bed, Lorena would hunt you down when she 46 , as I found out firsthand. She’d ended her lecture to me with “ 47 some pride in your work.”
She did. And so did Rosalie, Helen, Annette, and all the other experienced maids. Their devotion to doing a good job and their belief that their work was a 48 of their character stuck with me throughout my 49 career after graduation. I learned a lot from them during those four summers.
Not a week would go without one of them 50 some firm but friendly advice: “Where’s your commode brush? You don’t have one? How do you expect to get that bowl clean?”
Their pride in a job well done was reflected in how they treated 51 . They left the building at the end of the day in nice dresses and 52 makeup. They looked like they could have been attending an afternoon tea. And, 53 often, they were smiling and laughing, cheerfully greeting their co-workers a good evening. When you work with happiness and 54 , a job will be well done. I believe there is 55 in any job if you work hard and try your best.

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome’s     filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so      that I decided to write an article about her.
I      Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She      and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I      I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn’t even written a grocery list.
I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there     , taking notes and asking questions that all began with, “Can you tell me…” I soon realized that      Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The      was almost unbearable. I struggled for days      draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into a large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.
It didn’t take long. My manuscript     . How stupid of me! I thought. How could I      in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn’t      the rejection letter, I threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.
Five years later, I was moving to California. While      my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor’s letter in     :
Ms. Profit,
Your story on Salome Bey is fantastic. Yet we need some more relevant materials. Please      those and return the article immediately. We would like to      your story soon.
Shocked, it took me a long time to     . Fear of rejection cost me dearly. I lost at least five hundred dollars and the chance of having my article appear in a major magazine. More importantly, I lost years of      writing. Today, I have become a full-time writer.      this experience, I’ve learned a very important lesson: You can’t      to doubt yourself.

Let's make use of information technology more   小题20: , and have great fun in experiencing the actual world.

Even now, whenever I  53  that a task is too much for me, I think back to that exam. No matter how  54  something is, if you’re willing to work, you can succeed. I’m forever  55  to Dad for that lesson.

Dana Cummings was in his thirties before he first went surfing. But, even more interesting is that Dana Cummings chose to learn the sport after losing a leg in a car accident. Now, nine years later, he helps other disabled (伤残的) people learn how to ride the waves in AmpSurf.
On the coast of Maine, he is working with 27-year-old Matthew Fish, who is partly blind. Cummings takes hold of Fish and leads him into the ocean. The surfboard floats next to them. Fish lies on the surfboard. He tries to stand up on it. After a few attempts (尝试) he is up and riding all the way back to land. “That was exciting,” Fish says.
A car accident in 2002 took Dana Cummings’ leg. He says the crash changed him more than just physically. “Losing my leg made me realize how precious (珍贵的) life is and get off the couch and start living. I do more things now than I ever did before. Next week I am going to compete in a contest in Hawaii,” Dana says.
One year later Dana Cummings formed AmpSurf. AmpSurf is a group that volunteers to hold surfing classes and events for people with all kinds of disabilities.
Recently, AmpSurf took its training programs to the East Coast. Eleven students attended the class in Maine. They came from all over the northeastern United States.
Dana Cummings thinks AmpSurf can change the way a disabled person thinks. “Most people with disabilities consider himself or herself unlucky and useless, but we want them to see what they can do. Who cares you lose your leg or you are blind, whatever? Have fun. Just enjoy life. Take the most advantage of it you can,” Dana says.
小题1:Matthew Fish thinks learning to ride the waves is _____.
A．boring B．easyC．interestingD．difficult
小题2:When did Dana Cummings set up AmpSurf according to the text?
A．In 2002.B．In 2003.C．In 2008.D．In 2011.

There once was a place  36  all the people were happy and  37 . Everyone was friendly and neighborly. Even the dogs and cats  38  together.
Then one day a stranger was seen  39  toward the village: a tall, tall stranger. As the stranger, who was a giant,  40  closer and closer, the people all ran into their houses and wouldn't come out.
The giant  41  the village. He was enormous, towering over everything.  42  a little girl stepped out on her porch. She jumped down from her porch. Her family yelled, "STOP! COME BACK! That's a giant!" But she didn't stop. She began to walk  43  the giant.
The strangest thing  44  . As the child walked toward the giant, he grew  45  . Soon he was the same size as the girl. As she came beside the giant, she  46  him. She stooped down and gently  47  the giant up in her hands, asking, "What's your name?"
The giant whispered, "My name is F-E-A-R! Help me!! I have a terrible  48  . I guess I look strange. When I meet people they are afraid of me. And when people are afraid of me, I suddenly grow into a giant and everybody runs away from me. YOU are not afraid of me, so I stayed small. Do you  49  it? It's crazy! Please help me!"
"I can take you for a walk through our village," the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no  50  be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me  51  , and then you will stay the same size as you are now.
"But  52  we go, let's change your name. What do you want to be called? YOU should not be called FEAR, because YOU are not afraid. It's the people who look at you  53  fear you. That's what causes you to grow into a giant."
"Will you hold my hand  54  ? If I get scared I'll shut my eyes. Oh, and will you please call me  55  ."

I found a crumpled (弄皱的), tear-stained 27  stuffed (塞) in the back of Tommy's desk. Writing covered both sides, a single 28  scribbled (乱写) over and over.
Silently I smoothed(弄平) it out and gave it to Tommy's mother. She read it and then without a word handed it to her husband. He 29  . Then his face softened. He studied the scribbled words for 30 seemed a future life.
At last he folded the paper carefully and 31   his wife's outstretched(伸出的) hand. She wiped the tears from her 32  and smiled up at him. I also couldn't keep back tears, but 33  seemed to notice.
In this way I used the words to 34  that family. On the sheet of yellow copy paper 35 with the painful outpouring of a small boy's troubled heart, it said.
"Dear Mother ... Dear Daddy ... I love you ... I love you ... I love you."
