The item she had 36 was intended for her daughter, but she had already received a 37 one. The lady 38 to exchange the item for something else in the store but she was told she needed an ID 39 the deal could not take place.
I went to the 40 with the woman so we could use my ID. The sales associate immediately started 41 her of asking the first 42 person she saw to help her. Although that was 43 , I didn’t understand why it 44 . After all, not everyone is given the opportunity to 45 an ID in this country.

“ 48 I, a young white female, were to enter the store and request you to make an exchange without a receipt, I would not be 49 the privilege — as I have proof from the past.” I said. He must have realized at that moment what he had done, because he 50 to exchange the item.
There are many valuable lessons in the story. The first is to help a stranger in need. I 51 when the woman asked for my help, but 52 in my head I asked myself, “Why not? What valid 53 do I actually have?” I had none, so I helped her.
The second lesson is not to judge a book by its 54 . The woman looked poor, but she 55 _ the same treatment as anyone else does.

I had my first job at the age of thirteen , when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop .

Like many 41 parents ,my parents also let me and my brothers do things about which they 42 a great deal .When I was sixteen ,for example ,after I finished high school and before I entered university ,I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 43 .My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great 44 for me .In the end , my father won the 45 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France ,my mother’s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins 46 through the country who could 47 shelter and help if I needed them .

I remember my dad teaching me the power of language at a very young age.
One fairly interesting event happened when I was eight. As a kid, I was always climbing trees, poles, and __31__ around upside down from the rafters (房梁) of our house. So, it __32__ to no surprise for my dad to __33__ me at the top of a 30-foot tree swinging back and forth. Without realizing the tree could break or I could get __34__, I just thought it was__35__ to be up so high.
My cousin, Tammy, was in the same tree. She was hanging on the first big __36__ about ten feet below me. Tammy’s mother also __37__ us at the exact time my dad did. About that time a huge gust of wind came over the tree and I could feel the tree begin to sway. I remembered my dad’s __38__ over the wind yelling, “Bart, __39__ on tightly.” So I did.
The next thing I know, I heard Tammy __40__ at the top of her lungs, __41__ flat on the ground. She had fallen out of the tree.
I came down the tree to __42__. My dad later told me why Tammy fell and I didn’t. __43__, when Tammy’s mother felt the wind, she yelled out, “Tammy, don’t __44__!” And Tammy did do that.
My dad then __45__ to me that the mind has a very __46__ time dealing with a negative image. In order to deal with the __47__ of not falling, Tammy’s brain had to first imagine falling, and then tell the brain not to do what it just imagined. However, my eight-year-old brain __48__ had an internal image of hanging on tightly.
This “Self-Talk” is especially useful when you are __49__ to break a habit or set a goal. You can’t imagine not doing something in your mind. The only way to accomplish it is to find a word for what you want to do.
I’m now a pretty good football player, because all my internal dialogue is __50__ and encourages me to win. All this I owe to my dad.

When she knew details, we learned that the 39 situations had one thing in common. It 40 that whenever a class member had a bad sales experience, it involved the 41 promising something he wouldn’t or couldn’t deliver.
The example I 42 with the class was a current one.

I’m sure the pool director was very apologetic that his 46 had been inconvenienced, and that’s nice, but the 47 is that I did not get what I paid for.

The pool has 50 a customer. I will not be buying a pass next summer.

Appeal to Emotion(情感)
My childhood left three months ago on a plane to Austria.
It was a day when my baby cousins moved away.My cousins were a fundamental part of my life; they were not with me,they were on my mind.They brought back the untroubled days of my childhood, games,adventures and silliness,but they also helped me from an at-times selfish teenager into a responsible adult.
My aunt and uncle moved here from Boston with their 1-year-old daughter Yasmeen.They lived in an apartment on the side of our house and I was to have our family,especially a baby girl,so close to us.Yasmeen had close friendships with each of my sisters,but I knew the one that between us was the strongest.As she began to walk on her own and talk in full sentences,I realized my great upon her.I noticed that she’d some of my unpleasant actions, with her mother after I had done the same.Yasmeen made me realize what being a good really was.
When Maya was born,Yasmeen had a hard time .She was jealous(妒忌)of the attention we all paid to her new younger sister,so I did my best to keep her company when she might have not been .Once Yasmeen overcame her jealousy,she was able to Maya’s presence,like we all did.I tried to take advantage of our times together,doing my best to my schedule for my two favorite people.

阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degrees of health and wealth and the other comforts of life, one becomes happy, becomes unhappy. This from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, and events, and the resulting effects upon their minds.
The people who are to be happy their attention to the conveniences of things, the pleasant parts of conversation, the well-prepared dishes, the goodness of the wines, and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the things. They are, , continually unsatisfied. By their words, they complain about the pleasure of society, offend many people, and themselves disagreeable (不受欢迎的) everywhere. If this turn of mind were founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation (模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it are its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and them change this habit.
Although in fact it is chiefly an act of imagination, it has serious in life, since it causes deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others, nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most politeness and respect. This puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at obtaining advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step speak a word to favor their hopes. If they cause themselves public objections (反对), no one will or excuse them, and many join to criticize their wrongdoings. These people should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, will be good for others to avoid any contact with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels.

Wings of Angel
I used to hate myself because I wasn’t “normal”. Everyone else could play on the monkey bars and ride on a bicycle, but not 37 . I had a severe spinal cord disorder (脊髓病) and I knew I would always be much 38 than others.
I hated going to school and I hated people 39 at me. I hated seeing others smiling broadly and standing straight and tall. And most of all, I hated looking in the 40 and seeing an ugly hunchback (驼背).
My friends found me distant because I didn’t let others get 41 to me. I thought I was going to go on like this for the rest of my life 42 Angela appeared.
That afternoon, I was sitting by myself in a corner of the school — a spot where no one would 43 me. That’s when I first heard her voice.
“Hi. Can I sit down?”
I raised my head and there she was, with an irresistible smile on her round face.
“What are you looking at?” she asked.
“Ants.”
“What are they doing?”
“No idea.”
“I bet they’re playing games and making friends. Don’t you think so?”
That was how our 44 started and it didn’t stop. We talked about everything under the sun—the ants, the clouds, my situation — until it was sunset.
Then suddenly, she saw my 45 . She just stared.
My heart sank. What I feared most had happened and I knew for sure she would 46 me now.
She stood up, pointed at my back and said, “I know 47 your back is hunched.”
I closed my eyes like a criminal waiting to be sentenced(审判). I begged in my heart for
her to 48 , but she just kept on going. “I know what you’ve got in there. Do you?”
“No,” I answered weakly.
She bent and 49 my ears.
“Your back is hunched because you’ve got a pair of wings from the angels.”
I was 50 .I looked into her eyes and her kindness touched my heart. From that day on, I started to learn to 51 myself because I have the wings of an angel and a kind-hearted friend.

During the years of depression(萧条), food and money were very hard to find and people had to trade things with each other.
One day I was 36 some potatoes from Mr Miller. I noticed a small poor boy hungrily 37 a full basket of freshly picked green peas. Then I was 38 to see that Mr Miller sold the boy a bag of peas for just a marble (弹球).
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby, 39_ and told me that Mr Miller loved to trade with the three boys in the village for peas, tomatoes, and other things 40 he didn’t really need any marbles. I left the stand, smiling to myself, 41 by this man.
Several years went by. One day I learned that Mr Miller had died. I took part in the funeral(葬礼), 42_ three young men . They came over to Mrs Miller, hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke with her and moved on, _43_ their eyes.
Our _44_ came to meet Mrs Miller. I mentioned _45 she had told me about the _46. She told me, “Those three young men above were the boys I told you about. They just told me 47 they appreciated the things Jim ‘traded ’with them. Now, at last, they came to pay their debt.”
“We’ve _48 had a great deal of the wealth in this world,” she _49_, “but right now, Jim wouldW#W$W%.K**S*&5︿U consider himself to be the _50_ man.”
Then she gently lifted the 51 fingers of her husband. Resting underneath were three red marbles.
At that time I realized that we would not be 52 by our words, but by our kind 53 . It is said that it takes a minute to find a 54 person, an hour to appreciate him, a day to love him, but an entire life to 55 him.
