I climbed the stairs slowly, carrying a big suitcase, my father following with two more. By the time I got to the third floor, I was 1 and at the same time feeling lonely. Worse still, Dad 2 a step and fell, sending my new suitcases 3 down the stairs. “Damn” he screamed, his face turning red. I knew 4 was ahead. Whenever Dad’s face turns red, look out!
How could I ever 5 him to finish unloading the car 6 screaming at me and making a scene in front of the other girls, girls I would have to spend the 7 of the year with? Doors were opening and faces peering out(探出), as Dad walked 8 close behind. I felt it in my bones that my college life was getting off to a(n) 9 start.
“ 10 the room, quickly,” I thought. “Get him into a chair and calm down.” But then again, would there be a chair in Room 316? Or would it be a(n) 11 room?
12 I turned the key in the lock and 13 the door open, with Dad 14 complaining about a hurting knee or something. I put my head in and to my 15 , the room wasn’t empty at all! It had furniture, curtains, a TV, and seven paintings on the walls.
And there on a well-made bed sat a neatly-dressed girl, obviously my new 16 . Greeting me with a nod, she said in a soft voice, “Hi, you must be Cori.” Then, she turned down the music and looked over at 17 , “ And of course, you’re Mr. Faber,” she said 18 . “Would you like a glass of iced tea?” Dad’s face turned decidedly less red before he could bring out a “yes”.
I knew 19 that Amy and I would be 20 and my first year of college would be a success.

These are common remarks one may hear at various sporting events. At the time they are made, they may seem innocent enough. But let’s not kid ourselves .They have been known to influence behavior in such a way as to lead to real bloodshed. Volumes have been written about the way word affect us. It has been shown that words having certain connotations （隐含意义） may cause us to react in ways quite foreign to what we consider to be our usual humanistic behavior. I see the term “opponent” as one of those words .Perhaps the time has come to delete it from sports terms.

In the heat of battle, players have been observed to throw themselves across the court without considering the consequences the such a move might have on anyone in their way. I have also witnessed a player reacting to his opponent’s intentional and illegal blocking by deliberately hitting him with the ball as hard as he could during the course of play. Off the court, they are good friends. Does that make any sense? It certainly gives proof of a court attitude which departs from（违背） normal behavior.
Therefore, I believe it is time we elevated （提升） the game to the level where it belongs, and setting an example to the rest of the sporting world. Replacing the term “opponent” with “associate” could be a better way to start.
The dictionary meaning of the term “associate” is “colleague”; “friend” ; “companion.” Reflect a moment! You may soon see and possibly feel the difference in your reaction to the term “associate” rather than “opponent”.

Philadelphia's Continental Congress(大陆会议)
Thomas Jefferson knew he had a job to do. Important men throughout the American colonies (殖民地)
were meeting in Philadelphis to discuss and debate the war with Great Briain. The colony of Virginia sent
Thomas Jefferson to Philadelphia. But Jefferson wasn't happy. Jefferson wanted to be home that hot summer
of 1776. he missed his wife, Martha. She hadn't been feeling well when he left, and he worried about her.
On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee from Virginia stood up at the Congress and announced that "these
American colonies ought to be free and independent states." Jefferson probably knew what was coming next.
Here was another resolution (决议)to debate. And whenever there was a resolution, there was a declaration.
The American colonies had been at war with Great Britain for more than a year, but surprisingly. The
colonies had not formally announced their independence. So the Congress appointed a five-man committee to
crate a document declaring America's independence. And the committee chose Thomas Jefferson to write it.
Jefferson knew he was to list the unfair things Great Britain had done to the colonies. For days and days,
Jefferson wrote and rewrote about the king and his unfair laws. About independence. About freedom. He
borrowed ideas from other political writers, but he wrote these thoughts in words that all people could
understand. He wanted his ideas to be shared with everyone.
And they were. The Continental Congress voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.
on July 8, it was read out loud to a cheering crowd. No one knew who the author was, but they knew what
the Declaration stood for-independence and freedom for all.
Still, Thomas Jefferson dreamed of home. In late July he begged Richard Henry Lee to replace him in the
Congress. In September, Jefferson's dream finally came true, and he traveled home.
Since then, the words Thomas Jefferson wrote during that hot Philadelphia summer have inspired people
throughout the world. Thank goodness Jefferson didn't go home.
B. He found a new job in Virginia
C. It was extremely hot in Philadelphia
D. He was concerned about his wife's health

C. inspire soldiers fighting against Britain
D. revise the Declaration of Independence

Looking too long at someone may seem to be rude and 44 . But things are different when it 45 to stare at the opposite sex.
