When you read a story in English, do you read it for the storyforthe English? This is a question
is not so
(fool) as it mayseem, for I find that many students of English pay far more attention to the story thanto the English. For instance, they care for how the mystery in the story
(solve), but do not remember a single sentence in the story and cannot tell what preposition is used before a certain word in the speech of a certain character.
Of course, if you want to know the story only, you need not(bother)about the language. But a student of English is different
a student ofstories or
is called the general reader. As you may also have learned fromthe above, you ought to read not only very carefully but also aloud
you learn the passage by heart and can recite it as if it
(be)your own. On
hand, this will teach you m any useful words and phrases; on the other hand.it will help you to avoid many errors and faults in expression.

We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of themcorrectly and wisely., some of us are upset
their bodystylesand looks. It7s unnecessary and it"s not important at all. We needn't care about it.It is one's inner beauty
matters. Second, we sometimes seem to bemisunderstood
our teachers, parents and classmates.
(face) with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them,trying to remove the
(understand). Some of us have fewer friends.I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others,
makes usstressed. Actually we can encourage
to work efficiently, full of
(determine). At last, some of us don,t havemuch pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn,t it strange? So long as we have some.that7s enough. And we can learn
to spend money.
Australia and the United States are about the same in size, and their western lands are both not rich 5 soil. It was on the eastern coast of Australia and America that the English first settled, and both colonies soon began to develop towards the west. However, this westward 6 (move) took place 7 because the English were searching for better land than the population was increasing. Settlements of the west part of both countries developed quickly after gold 8 (discover) in America in 1849 and in Australia two years later.
Although the development of these two countries has a lot in common, there are some 9 (strike) differences as well. The United States gained its independence from England by revolution while Australia won its independence without having to go to war. Australia, 10 (like) the United States, was firstly turned into a colony by English prisoners and its economic development was in wheat growing and sheep raising. By 1922, for example, Australia had fifteen times more sheep than it had people or almost half as many sheep as there are people today in the United States. Australia and the United States have more in common with each other than either one has with most of the rest of the world.
So 1 do people travel those distances that are too far to walk? They use public transportation. If you ride the subway or bus 2 you live, you can appreciate some of the benefits of public transportation. With many people 3 (share) one bus or train, there is less traffic and, more 4 （importance）, less pollution.
Which of the types of mass transit 5 (describe) below are you familiar with? If a regular bus can hold dozens of people, imagine what a bus 6 (two) the size can hold! In Great Britain, there are many buses that are known as double-deckers (cars with two floors).
Buses in Haiti are often very crowded. It’s not 7 (common) for passengers to actually sit on the rooftops. Buses are sometimes called “tap-taps”, because the 8 (ride) on the roof tap（敲击）when they want to be dropped off.
Many large cities around the world take advantage of the space beneath the streets and run underground trains. People in Paris, Mexico City and Tokyo may use the subway system to get to school, to work, or to visit friends in other 9 (neighbor). Both the Japanese and French have developed High-speed trains to link various cities. While electric trains in North America average 130 kph, the French TGV (high-speed-train) is the world’s fastest, 10 (average) over 270 kph!

Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable 26 when I was teaching second 27 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children：a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to 28 ideas of how to 29 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised but 30 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I 31 invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child 32 up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom. 33 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking 34
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was 35 if you could keep my mother 36 while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy 37 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had 38 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep 39 .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy. I had the students complete an outline of the day’s 40 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if 41 was completed. When I came 42 Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs. Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and 43 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran back and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t 44 it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had 45 stopped hugging teachers years ago.
