Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager ,his father 36 him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The 37 was to get James a job.
He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the 38 had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the 39 were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying , 40 a thickened air ,and the workers,
41 the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles 42 the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly 43 . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t 44 at him , too.
During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him, 45 if there was any work for his son. But 46 there was barely enough 47 for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.
Thus , for James, it was a 48 . He hated the place. He made a 49 that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought 50 to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to 51 money off the seat of others.
“What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.
“I don’t know,” he 52 say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like 53 , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the 54 of blood.
“What will you do?”
55 , my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

During one of the toughest weeks of my life, I had the chance to experience surprising grace(善举).
I was in my office, when a young man came by. He was obviously very 36 and close to tears. He was an older student and always appeared like a tough guy, 37 showing emotion.
He had told me 38 that he was dealing with some difficult 39 problems. He was a caregiver for his sister who was ill. This day he came in, sat down and just sobbed(抽泣). I 40 while he told me how he had been up all night in the hospital with his sister and that was why he couldn’t take my exam that morning. I told him not to 41 it at all. He was clearly in no shape for an exam. I told him to go home and 42 . I reassured(使放心) him that I would do everything I could to help him get through the class.
I just sat there while he sobbed. “I think she might die,” he gasped(喘着气说). “What am I going to do?” It was clear to me that he had never 43 this fear out loud to anyone. I just sat there, fully focused on him and his 44 , and tried to offer some soft words of 45 .
After quite some time, he 46 himself. I reassured him again that it didn’t matter to me when he took his exam and that I would help him through. Then he left.
Afterwards, I felt like his 47 was a blessing(为人带来幸福的事). Being able to help him while I was in pain myself was the most valuable gift.

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is 16 to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 17 too much from the first reading of a(n) 18 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the 19 reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The 20 is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 21 to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult 22 , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 23 . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 24 you to have read the book through once 25 .
What you understand by reading the book through to the 26 will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 27 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 28 the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the 29 of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 30 for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.

Mum keeps telling me “Turn the radio down!” or “Can’t you listen to anything else” or “I don’t know how you can 36 with all noises.” Even my friends at school don’t appreciate the 37 I love, and my best friend told me I am a ‘radio junkie.’
I thought about the music that 38 me each day. It represented a wide range of music 39 ——I certainly wasn’t narrow—minded. I don’t only listen to hard roc, but also to music from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s, and it isn’t really that 40 . Perhaps my mum and dad aren’t as square as I thought they were, if that’s the sort of music they 41 .
While music is the most important 42 I listen to my radio, it’s not the only one. my favorite station has many 43 presenters, from the wake—up show to the latest night ‘stop—outs’, and with all sorts of up —beat variations in between. My ‘must—listen—to’ 44 is the top 40 countdown where I get to 45 all the latest and very best music selections.
Do I learn anything form the 46 I listen to? Of course I do! If you listen 47 to the lyrics of most songs, they have something to 48 about every aspect of life. People who are sad, mad, glad or bad, all 49 their feelings in the songs they sing or in the music they play. You see, I’m learning 50 other people cope with these feelings, and in some small way, it’s helping me too.
Competitions, talk—back programs and the dreaded ‘ads’, are all 51 of radio, but it’s the music that attracts me most. I’ve 52 learned to do all sorts of things while listening to the music on the radio. I can do my homework, play sport, have a shower, get dressed, 53 while listening to the radio!
I’d rather not be 54 radio junkie, but if that’s the word that describes my radio listening 55 most exactly, then I guess I’ll have to live with it. my music suits me and I suit my music.
36.A.talk B.think C.listen D.deal
37.A.noise B.radio C.music D.thing

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly.Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be 36 for your health.And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it 37 .
Research is preliminary, but several studies 38 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die.
In an editorial 39 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 40 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting.
While health officials have issued guidelines 41 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 42 .
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 43 signals," Ekblom-Bak said.She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the 44 start to shut down.
Even for people who 45 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful.Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — 46 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 47 in a single bout.
That wasn't 48 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 49 a computer.Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 50 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing.
"I'm sure there are some detrimental 51 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 52 when I can helps," he said."I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 53 dangerous."
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 54 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised.
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars.
Experts said more research is needed to 55 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects.

Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my 43 , I remembered an incident from high school.I grew up in a small town.There was a Sheriff 44 of us kids liked.One night, my two buddies(伙伴) and I decided to play a 45 on him.

Nearly 20 years later.Sheriff Brown's name 48 on my list.I didn't even know if he was still 49 .Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed.I tried his number.After a few 50 , 1 heard, "Hello?" I said, "Sheriff Brown?" Paused."Yes." "Well, this is Jimmy Calkins."
“And I want you to know that I did it?” Paused.“I knew it!” he yelled back.We had a good laugh and a 51 discussion.His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you 52 your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it 53 all these years.I want to thank you for calling me for your sake.”

Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and full of burn holes.
Tired and defeated, I 31 to the floor. The clothes were just one more thing Brett had 32 . He often got almost everything in the house out of 33 . Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 34 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could compare to the emotional 35 Brett had done to our once quiet home.
Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett a 36 as possible, but inside I was shouting. “I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t 37 him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued 38 him as before.
When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in Juvenile Hall(少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 39 teens.
At the 40 ceremony, each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 41 the most to him or her. Brett spoke 42 to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there, no matter 43 . My mom and dad, I was their kid. But you, 44 troubled enough by me, always 45 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”
46 , I stood as Brett placed the white rose in my hand and hugged me 47 .
At that moment, tears 48 in my eyes again, this time not for disappointment but for 49 . Although I had struggled with silent 50 toward my stepson, Brett had seen only my actions. Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.
