A young boy loved football with all his heart. But being half the size of the other boys, this hopeful athlete 36 the bench and hardly ever played.
This young man was still the 37 of the class when he entered high school. He decided to try his best at every 38 , and perhaps he could play later. All through high school he 39 neither a practice nor a game, but 40 a bench-warmer all four years.
When the young man went to 41 , the coach kept him on the roster(候选名单) 42 he always put his heart and soul to every practice, and at same time, 43 the other members with the spirit they badly needed. But during his four years at college, he never 44 to play in a game,
In the last football match, the game was not going 45 . When the team was ten points 46 , the silent young man came to the coach and said “Coach, please let me 47 . Believe me.” The coach pretended not to hear him . There was no 48 he wanted the worst player in this close playoff(决赛) game.
But the young man 49 , and finally the coach, feeling sorry for him, 50 . “All right,” he said. “You can go in.” Soon, the coach, the players and everyone in the 51 could not believe their eyes. This little 52 man, who had never played before, was doing everything right. The opposing team could not 53 him. He ran, he passed, blocked like a star.
The 54 was(were) soon tied, In the closing seconds of the game, he intercepted(拦截) a 55 and ran all the way for the winning touchdown(触地得分). The fans applauded(鼓掌) and his teammates raised him onto their shoulders. Such cheering he never heard.

For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
My friend had mentioned that her father had a lot of children’s toys that he was looking to give away. She knew I had a three-year-old daughter so she thought of me first. I told her I would 36 it if I could get some nice things for my daughter, which I wouldn’t otherwise have been able
to 37 .
When I met her father, he began to explain that he was 38 once too and that he would hate to 39 things that could be very 40 . At first, he thought of taking everything to the Salvation Army but then he 41 to see if anyone he knew could use them first.
When he was 42 me around, I saw a bed, a slide(滑板)，a kitchen set and many other things that made me surprised. As my eyes were wide and beginning to tear up a bit, he told me not to feel guilty. He said I was 43 him by getting rid of them.
As I was looking around, I did feel guilty, but I tried to remain more grateful than guilty because he told me to. Every time I tried to 44 him for giving my daughter all these 45 things, he would thank me right back and was grateful that these toys would be put to good use.
So, sometimes when we are helped by others, the others that helped us are helped as a side –effect. In the 46 of charity , it makes sense to feel grateful, but guilt is just as normal, I know we could have lived without a slide, which is why I do feel guilty, but I am grateful all the same because my daughter 47 enjoys all these nice things!

Once an Arab was traveling in the desert . When the sun went down in the west , he stopped and put up his tent , made a fire and had a 36 meal . When night fell , he 37 down to sleep .
He had 38 fallen asleep when he felt a soft 39 on his elbow(肘) . He woke up to find that his camel had put his head inside the tent . The camel said , “Would you please let me keep my head in the tent to get warm ? It’s so cold outside . I won’t take up much room . ”
The Arab was a 40 man . “All right ,do as you please , ”he said . Then he turned on his side and went back to sleep .
It wasn’t long 41 he felt a push on his shoulder . It was the camel again . “Dear master ,”the camel said , “my head is quite warm now , but my neck is still cold . Do you mind 42 I keep it inside the tent ,too ? ”
“No , not at all , ”the man said . But this time he felt a bit 43 , as the camel had such a long neck .
Hardly had he shut his eyes when he got a harder push in his side . This time the camel said , “Will you please 44 me to bring my front legs inside and warm them up a little ?”
The Arab moved over to one side of the tent .He made 45 as small as he could . It wasn’t a bit comfortable , and sleep was now 46 .
After a while, the camel gave him a rough push and said , “The tent is too small for the two of us .Besides , my two hind legs are still left in the cold. 47 is only reasonable that you should leave the whole tent to me .”

Not too long ago ,an incident that happened at Walt Disney touched me greatly．A guest 36 out of our Polynesian Village resort（度假胜地）at Walt Disney was asked how she 37 her visit．She told the front-desk clerk she had had a (n) 38 vacation ,but was heartbroken about 39 several rolls of Kodak color film she had not yet 40 ．At that moment she was particularly 41 over the loss of the pictures she had shot at our Polynesian Luau , 42 this was a memory she especially treasured．

Mr．Glen is a millionaire．Five years ago, after returning from abroad to his motherland, he 36 up his small company．Speaking of success, Glen often tells us a story about his 37 expensive “school” fees．He always 38 a Ph．Degree, decided to return to the homeland, starting an undertaking．Before 39 , he bought a Rolex watch with the 40 made through years of work after school and the scholarships．At the airport he had to accept the routine customs check．The watch on his wrist was also demanded to be 41 down for inspection．Glen knew that carrying the specific goods out had to pay the tax．And he worried about paying 42 for his watch．So when he was checked, he told a lie that his watch was a worthless 43 ．When he was 44 of his ‘smarts’, immediately, 45 the presence of Glen, the officers hit the watch, which 46 nearly ￥100,000, into pieces at hearing Glen’s words．Glen was amazed． 47 he understood why, he was taken to the office to be 48 strictly．For many times of entry-exit 49 he knew that only those people in the “blacklist” would “enjoy” this special treatment．The officers 50 every thing carefully in the box, and warned him no matter what time of entry and exit he must accept the check and if 51 reusing and carrying fake and shoddy（伪劣）goods, he would be 52 according to law! Suddenly, his face turned red, and he had nothing in mind after boarding the plane for long.
After returning to the homeland, he often told the story to his family, and his employees, too．He said that this made a deep 53 on him, because an additional high “school” fee that he had ever paid made him realize the value of 54 , which he would 55 as the secret of his success forever.

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I 36 most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we 37 ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to 38 his family as cold. When we got into the 39 to go home, his father suddenly appeared 40 , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he is a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often 41 me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant 42 or inquiry about my life ,just financial instructions. This manner of his 43 me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his 44 morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I
45 him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt 46 . For example, I always return phone calls 47 and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the 48 : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger 49 as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I 50 and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was 51 at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be 52 . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their 53 expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my 54 .Over the years, however, I’ve learned to 55 other persons’ love signs.

Time is very important in our life. It 36 our everyday moments. However, time never had any importance in my life until I 37 a watch from my father, which organized my life and made me more 38 . It’s round(圆形的) in the center with two silver bands(带，条) that go 39 my wrist(手腕) and all of it is made of silver.
I received this 40 on a gray-sky day. I had to go to the airport at 9:00 a.m. to 41 up my uncle Ali and take him to my father’s house. 42 , I was late because I was 43 with my friends. Later on that day, around 11:00 a.m., I 44 my uncle, but I was very late for him. He had 45 the airport and taken a taxi to my father’s house.
I got to my father’s house at 2:00 p.m. that day and felt 46 of myself at that moment. After I said hello to my 47 father and tired uncle, my father asked me to sit next to him and handed me this watch as a gift from him. Then he said, “Peter, did you have 48 with your friends today?” I answered, “Yes, father, and 49
apologized for not meeting my uncle Ali.” He said, “What you 50 was not very nice and you should feel sorry for your 51 .” I was ashamed and said, “Father, I’ll never do it again. I promise.” He said, “I hope today you learned something important, and this watch will be a 52 for you.” He told me to take this watch and use it as an organizer of my 53 .
I learned a very important lesson from my father: to 54 time and never to be late to get someone. This watch is 55 to me, not because of its price, but because of the lesson that I learned from it.

In every country there are times to celebrate, weddings, birthdays, religious festivals. Although the U.S.A is a multi-cultural society, where different groups celebrate their own traditional 21 , Christmas is the most popular holiday in the U.S.A. Some of the 22 of Christmas time are old and others are newer.
Already in the late 18th and the 19th centuries, people felt sentimental (眷恋的) about Christmases of the past. The American 23 , Washington Irving, wrote in 1819 about the old-fashioned Christmas he experienced in England. He was taken in a stagecoach (驿站马车) full of happy people, food and presents, to an old house in the 24 . There, he found a crowd of happy farmers, lots of food and drinks, snow, games and ghosts.
The first Christmas card, which was printed in England, showed people eating and drinking 25 . It was sent in 1846, but Christmas cards did not become really 26 until the 1860s, when color printing became possible.
By this time, stagecoaches had 27 running, replaced by the railroad. More and more families 28 the country and were living in towns and cities, but the dream of the 29 Christmas remained. The loaded stagecoach driving along the country road through the snow still 30 on many Christmas cards today.

Back in his office，Mr. Rader took out a 35 ，wrote something on it，and handed it to me．With 36 eyes，I read，“Do to others as you would have them do to you．” He said affectionately (深情地)，“Jimmy，I want you to 37 I love you”．
I said good-bye，and for the first time I 38 a flicker of hope that somehow things would be 39 ．With people like Mr. Rader in the world，there was hope，kindness and love, and that would always make a 40 ．

One day a very wealthy father took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing his son how poor people can be.
They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of which would be considered a very poor family. On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, “ How was the trip?”
“It was great , Dad .”
“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.
“Oh yeah?” said the son.
“So what did you learn from the trip?” asked the father.
The son answered, “I saw that we have one dog and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of our garden and they have a creek (小溪) that has no end. We have lanterns in our garden and they have the stars at night. We have a small piece of land to live on and they have fields that go beyond our sight. We have servants who serve us, but they serve themselves . We buy our food, but they grow theirs. We have walls around our property（财产） to protect us but they have friends to protect them.”
With this the boy’s father was speechless .
Then his son added , “Dad, thank you for showing me how poor we are.”
Too many times we forget what we have and concentrate on what we don’t have. What is one person’s priceless object is another’s prize possession. It’s all decided on one’s perspective (视角). Think about what would happen if we all gave thanks for what we have, instead of worrying about what we don’t have.
Be thankful for every single thing in your life, exactly as it is now–and especially your friends. Be sure to take the time to express your appreciation and gratitude for the people whom you are close to.
