Have you ever suddenly felt that someone you knew was in trouble？Have you ever dreamed something that 36 later？Maybe you have ESP.
ESP stands 37 Extra Sensory Perception. It may be called 38 sixth sense. It seems to let people 39 about events before they happen, or events 40 are happening some 41 away.
There are thousands of stories on 42 . Scientists are studying 43 to find out what’s behind these 44 mental messages. Here’s an example, one of hundreds of 45 that have come true.
A man dreamed he was walking along a road 46 a horse and carriage came by. The driver said, “There’s room for one more.” The man felt the driver was Death, 47 he ran away. The next day, the 48 was getting on a crowded bus. The bus driver said, “There’s room for one more”. Then the man saw that the driver’s face was the same face he 49 in the dream. He would not 50 the bus. As the bus drove off, it 51 crashed and burst into flames. Everyone was 52 ！

It was New Year’s night, An aged man was standing at a window. He raised his mournful（悲哀的）eyes towards the deep 36 sky, where the stars were 37 like white lilies(百合花)on
the surface of a clear calm lake．Then he threw them on the earth．Where a few more 38 people than himself now moved towards their certain goal-the 39 ，He had already passed sixty of the 40 leading to it，and he had brought from his journey nothing but errors and regret．Now his health was poor，his mind 41 ，his heart sorrowful，and his old age short of 42．
The days of his youth appeared like dreams before him．and he recalled the 43 moment
when his father placed him at the 44 to the two roads-one leading to a 45 ．sunny place．
covered with flowers，fruits and resounding with soft，sweet songs；the other 1eading to a deep，
dark cave．which was endless． 46 poison flowed instead of water and where deviIs(恶魔)and
poisonous snakes hissed and crawled．
He saw the 47 fading away in the darkness．and these were the days of his 48 life；He saw a star fall from the sky and disappeared，and this was the 49 of himself．His regret，which was like a sharparrow．Struck deeply into his heart．Then he remembered his friends in his
childhood．who entered on life together with him．But they had 50 to success and were now
honored and happy on this New Year’s night
The clock in the high church tow struck and the sound made him remember his parents’
early love for him．They had taught him and 51 to God for his good．But he chose the 52
way．With shame and grief he 53 no longer look towards that heaven where his father lived．
His darkened eyes were full of tears，and with a despairing 54 ，he burst out a cry；“Come back，my 55 days!Come back!”

A lot of us lose life’s tough battles by starting a frontal(正面的) attack — when a touch of humor might well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who
36 a traffic jam on his way to work shortly 37 receiving an ultimatum(最后通牒) about being late for work. Although there was a good reason for Sam’s being late — serious illness at home — he decided that this by-now-familiar excuse wouldn’t 38 any longer. His supervisor(主管) was probably already pacing up and down preparing a dismissal
39 .
Yes, the boss was. When Sam entered the office at 9:35, it was as 40 as a locker room(更衣室)— everyone was hard at work. Sam’s supervisor 41 him. Suddenly, Sam forced a grin (露齿笑) and 42 out his hand. “How do you do!” he said. “I’m Sam Maynard. I’m 43 a job, which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?”
The room burst into 44 . The supervisor clamped off(忍住) a smile and walked back to his office. Sam Maynard had 45 his job — with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
Humor is a most effective, yet 46 ignored, means of handling the difficult situations in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying “no”, criticizing, getting the other fellow to do what you want 47 his losing face. For some jobs, it’s the only tool that can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.
36. A. hit B. struck C. beat D. made
37. A. since B. when C. before D. after
38. A. benefit B. matter C. work D. affect
39. A. debate B. speech C. excuse D. argument
40. A. noisy B. quiet C. clean D. messy

42. A. stretched B. gave C. handed D. expanded
43. A. searching for B. preparing for C. applying for D. answering for

It was no wonder I was not looking forward to entering ninth grade. High school is well-known for being a battleground, where everyone seems to be 36 through physical changes, emotional mood swings, and low self-respect. For me, 37 was my punishment.
I had always felt insecure and out of 38 as one of the 39 members of my class, standing a head above the other girls and bending at the 40 of the line to avoid sticking 41 .
I especially hate being around large groups of people, like during the social hour after services at my church. 42 the prayers were finished, I would leave as quickly as possible so I could 43 other well-meaning congratulations, "Ruthie! Look how tall you' re getting!"
My grandfather would watch me 44 increasingly uncomfortable, but he did not 45 at my self--consciousness or try to comfort me. 46 , he would remind me. "Stand straight and tall," he would say, as I unsuccessfully tried to shrink (使缩小) myself. Moreover, each time, I would embarrassedly obey. Even at age 15, I understood that his advice was about 47 than just feet and inches.
My grandfather grew up in war-torn Europe. When German soldiers 48 his hometown, he wound up joining the Soviet army to fight 49 his country's freedom. "Stand straight, stand tall," meant something else back then.
_50 the war, he boarded a boat for 51 , and on January 27, 1947, he stepped onto the dock in Manhattan. He was hungry and 52 from seasickness. All alone in a new country, he was 53 about his future. Still, he marched head-on into the streets of New York. Soon he met 54 European immigrants, each of them trying to find his or her own way. If they could do it, why couldn't he? "Stand straight, stand tall," he would remind himself. He felt his faith 55 . When he walked into the church that first time, he walked in proudly.

Just ten years ago, I sat across the desk from a doctor with a serious look. “Yes,” he said, “there is a serious injury in the left lung…” I listened, too 21 to speak, as he continued, “You’ll have to 22 work at once and go to bed. Later on, we’ll see.” He gave no definite promise of recovery.
Feeling like a man who has suddenly been placed under 23 of death. In the next three days, I 24 my affairs; then I went home, got into bed, and set my watch to tick off not the minutes, 25 the months. Two and a half years and many crashed hopes later, I left my bed and began the long 26 back. It was another year before I made it.
I speak of this experience because these years that passed so 27 taught me what to believe and what to 28 . They said to me: Take time, 29 time takes you. I realize now that this world I’m living in is not my oyster（牡蛎）to be opened but my opportunity to be 30 . To me, each day is such a 31 gift. The sun comes up and presents me with 24 brand new, wonderful hours—not to pass, but to 32 .
I’ve learned to 33 those little but all-important things I never thought I had the time to notice before: the play of light on 34 water, the music of the wind in my favorite pine tree. I seem now to see and hear and feel with some of the recovered 35 of childhood. I recall the touch of the springy earth under my feet the day I first stepped upon it after the years in bed. It was like 36 one’s citizenship in a world one had nearly lost. 37 ,I sit back and say to myself, let me make a 38 of this moment I’m living right now. All this, I owe to that long time spent on the deadlines of life. Wiser people come to this awareness 39 having to acquire it the hard way. But I wasn’t wise enough. I’m 40 now, a little, and happier.

There is a fine line between a parent who is active and open-minded and one that doesn’t know when to let go. As my daughter, Nicole, prepares to leave home for college, I’m discovering how hard it is to stay on the 16 side of this line. When I hold 17 the apron strings connecting us, Nicole, eager to 18 independence, tries to loosen my grasp. What results is a (an) 19 mother-daughter, push-me, pull-you kind of tango.
For the past two years, it’s gone like this:
Mother’s question: “Have you thought of taking an advanced class so that you can earn college credit?”
Daughter’s 20 : “No, I’m not interested in that.”
……
Two months ago, she was 21 to a great university. However, I was still the mother having a 22 time letting go. The night before the introductory meeting of the university, I had read the course catalog carefully and 23 courses which I thought looked good. We met on the campus the next afternoon, and Nicole’s face 24 with excitement. “I have had my entire schedule figured out,” she said. “Already?” I was astonished, 25 she should have discussed it with me. I examined the schedule. Nicole hadn’t taken a (an) 26 one of the courses I had suggested. Every course she had chosen 27 suited her interests.

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.
