二、完形填空(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)

    Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a  21  part of the learning process. But all too often  22  parents and teachers we disallow this same right to our children.

When I see a child  23   from this kind of pressure, I think of Donnie.

Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His  24   of failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He  25   answered questions--- he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried my best to build his  26   . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher, was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included, all  27   her very much.

One morning, we were working on maths problems at the chalk-board. Donnie had  28   the problems with pains-taking tidiness. Pleased with his progress, I  29   the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned, Donnie was in  30  . He’d missed the third problem.

My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face  31   . From the desk we shared, she got a container filled with pencils.

“Look, Donnie,” she said, kneeling beside him and gently  32   the tear-stained(弄脏的) face from his arms. “ I’ve got something to  33   you.” She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk.

“See these   34   , Donnie,” she continued. “ They belong to Mrs. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers are   35   . That’s because we make mistakes too. But, we erase the mistakes and try again. That’s what you  36   learn to do, too.

She kissed him and stood up. “Here,” she said, “I’ll leave one of these pencils on  37   desk so you’ll remember that everyone makes mistakes,  38   teachers.” Donnie looked up with love in his eyes and a smile.

The   39   became Donnie’s prized possession. That, together with Mary Anne’s frequent encouragement, gradually  40   him that it’s all right to make mistakes--- as long as you erase them and try again.

                      Life in one of China’s last communes

In the village of Nanjie in northern China, workers begin the day by singing in praise of the country's former leader Mao Zedong.

More than three decades after his death, Chairman Mao is still remembered fondly across China, but in Nanjie he has a special significance.

The village is one of the country's last remaining communes, where workers still abide by many of the former chairman's principles.

Most communes were disbanded years ago as China's leaders began to turn the country's planned economy into one governed by the market. But the Nanjie commune is still going strong, providing its residents with their daily needs. Few people want to see it disappear.

As China's Communist Party celebrates 60 years in power this week, it is emphasising the country's bright future. The commune also has a number of small food-processing factories that make products such as beer, chocolate, hot sauce and noodles. Some noodles are even sold abroad - to Australia, the US and Canada.

A statue of Mao takes pride of place in the village square. It is flanked by giant posters of other communist revolutionaries, such as Lenin and Stalin. With its clean and tidy streets, Nanjie looks well-ordered and pleasant.

Communes were formed in the late 1950s as Chairman Mao tried to force rural people to live a more communist way of life.

In Nanjie, workers continue to toil for low wages, but in return are provided for in other ways by the commune.

"I earn about 400 yuan a month ($59; ??37), but get very good welfare benefits," said Mrs Hu, who works as a quality control inspector in the village condiment factory.

"I get free medical care and housing - even gas, water and electricity are free."

Her son, nine-year-old Wang Haoyuan, also gets free education in the commune's schools. The collective will even pay for him to go to university.

It is this kind of security that makes life in Nanjie commune so attractive.
