More than I realized, Dad has helped me keep my balance.
When I was growing up, I was embarrassed to be seen with my father. He was severely disabled and very   31  , and when we would walk together, his hand on my arm for    32  , people would stare. I would inwardly feel uncomfortable at the unwanted   33  . If he ever noticed or was    34  , he never showed that he knew.
It was difficult to coordinate our steps — his hesitant, mine   35  － and because of that, we didn’t say much   36   we went along. But as we started out, he always said, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”
Our   37   walk was to or from the subway, which was   38   he got to work. He went to work despite illness and nasty weather. He almost never missed a day, and would   39   it to the office even if others could not. A matter of   40  .
He never talked about himself as an object of pity, nor did he show any envy of the more fortunate or   41  . What he looked for   42   others was a “good heart,” and if he found one, the   43   was good enough for him.
Now that I am older, I believe that his idea is a proper   44   by which to judge people, even though I   45   don’t know exactly what a “good heart” is.   46   I know the times I don’t have one myself.
He has been gone many years now, but I think of him often. I wonder if he   47   I was unwilling to be seen with him during our   48  . Now that I am older, I’m sorry that I never told him how sorry I was for my feeling   49   to be with him in public and how unworthy I felt to be his daughter. I think of him when I complain about trifles (something unimportant), when I am envious of another’s good fortune, and when I don’t possess a “good heart”.
At such times I put my hand on his arm to   50   my balance, and say, “You set the pace. I will try to follow you.”

A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the  36  was he found himself unable to ask for help—his mobile phone went out of  37  as a result of exhausted battery. Nothing could be done but to  38  in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the  39  of the rescue.
It is almost  40  that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his  41  : “First of all I checked up my  42  conditions and found myself not in fatal danger. As there was no  43  to call for help, I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from  44  . In this way I dozed（打盹）off. ”
His story put an end to my regret for the  45  of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men  46  to explore a mountain cave and got lost. 47  to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of  48  . Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion. According to the  49  people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the  50  of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to  51  themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering（闪烁）not far away.

It was the district track meeting, which we had been training for all seasons. My foot still hadn't healed from a(n)   36  injury. Actually I had hesitated whether or not to  37  the meet. But there I was, preparing for the 3,200-meter run.
"Ready... set..." The gun popped and off we were. The other girls ran ahead of me. I found myself limping(跛) and felt ashamed as I  38  farther and farther behind.
The first-place runner was two laps(圈) ahead of me when she crossed the finish line. "Hooray!" the  39  shouted with the loudest cheer I had ever heard at a meeting.
"Maybe I should quit," I   40  as I limped on. "Those people wouldn't like to wait for me to finish this race." Somehow,    41  , I decided to keep going. During the last two laps, I ran   42   and decided not to compete in track next year. I couldn't beat the girl who lapped me twice, even if my foot did 43  .
When I finished, I heard a cheer-just as  44  as the one the first-place girl received "What was that all about?" I asked myself. I turned around and sure enough, the boys were preparing for their race. "They  45   be cheering for the boys."
I went  46  to the bathroom where a girl came across me and said, "Wow, you've got courage!"
I thought, "Courage? She must be  47  me for someone else. I just  48  a race!  I would have never been able to finish those two miles  49  I were you. What happened to your foot? We were cheering for you. Did you hear us?"
I couldn't believe it. A(n)  50  stranger had cheered for me-not for my victory, but for my perseverance. Suddenly I  51  hope. I decided to stick with track next year. One girl saved my  52  .
That day I learned two things. First, a  53  kindness and confidence in people can make a great difference to them. Second, strength and courage aren't measured in the  54  and victories.                                                         They are measured in the struggles we  55  .

Online Movie Rentals
It is generally accepted that the best way to learn a language is to totally involve yourself in its culture by living in the country where it is spoken.   71   Fortunately, many aspects of a country’s culture have made their way to our lives in the form of various media and entertainment outlets. Not only do they allow a peek at life, but they make excellent study material for learning the language.
What to increase your language skills and enjoy some entertainment at the same time? Tired of going down to the video rental store to rent movies?   72 
Most companies require customers to operate on the following model:
●Select and sign up for a payment program online, which will determine how many movies you can rent and hold at any one time.
●  73  You can look up movies by title, actor or director. Then movies will be sent to you within 1~3 days, and shipping is covered by the company.
●Watch the movies, often with no late fees.
●  74 
●Check these sites for specific, up – to – date details.
Once you receive the movies, how can you improve your language skills with them? Well, just sitting in front of the TV with a drink in one hand isn’t a bad way to relax, but you won’t learn much. While seeing a movie you should take notes of new expressions. Write them down and look them up in a good English – English dictionary to understand their possible meanings.   75  If you don’t’ know how to use words, learning vocabulary will lose all meaning.

A．Return the movies in a prepaid return envelope.

B．If you haven’t finished on time, you can delay returning.

C．Now, more and more companies are offering customers the chance to rent movies online.

D．Then, think of some sample sentences for each word.

E．Choose the movie you want to watch, generally 1~3 at a time.
F．Watch movies as long as you have nothing to do.
G．While many find packing up and moving to a country is not a practical option.

Directions: Complet the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.
When very small dinosaur bones were found in a Germany mine people thought they were from baby dinosaurs.   48  , scientist Martin Sander's work shows that they were probably fully grown and belong to the smallest giant dinosaur species ever found.
Growth marks on dinosaur bones are similar   49   growth rings on trees. The rings are far apart while the animal is young and growing quickly.  50  get closer as growth slows. "It is exactly these tight ring marks that we found in the fossil (化石) bones," says Sander. So the fossils must have been from adult animals. 
51  was this German dinosaur so much smaller than other giant dinosaurs, which grew up to 45 metres long and weighed as much as a thousand humans?
150 million years ago, most of Germany was underwater. Scientists think that  52  water levels rose, there was less and less land and food available. The dinosaur was forced to adapt and evolved into  53  smaller animal needing  54  space and food.
Since 1998, scientists have dug up more than 1,000 dinosaur fossils in the mine. It is one of the few places in the world  55  the bones and footprints of dinosaurs have been found together.
