I was watching a TV series one night when I took in one scene. A young man was seeking his community votes, and people 36 wanted to know why they should give him their 37 . He took them to his house and on every 38 in his house was the word “Faith” pasted. People raised lots of 39 to find out why the word was pasted on his mirrors. He said, “My dad often 40 me to believe that as long as you have 41 , you should have faith. Every time you look into the mirror, you’re looking at yourself and see ‘Faith’.”
The 42 I learned from this is simple—faith is a living thing and in the same way we’re all 43 given 24 hours a day and we’re all given the same measure of faith. Faith keeps us going when things get 44 ! Why is some people’s faith stronger than that of others? Exercise! If we choose to exercise our faith, it will 45 ; but if we choose not to, it remains weak. Some people might 46 that they don’t have faith, but we all practice faith every day even if we don’t 47 it as a faith. Daily 48 , such as studying, investing or reaching for a dream, take faith.
Faith 49 hearing and doing. I made a decision yesterday—to 50 reading the newspapers full of too much sad and 51 news. Why? Because I 52 there was a drop of my mental state after reading the newspapers.
Faith, when it’s put to 53 , becomes a beautiful thing. It lifts your mental state to a higher place that 54 you to raise yourself up and declare, “Yes, I can.” So make the decision today to strengthen your faith by 55 it.

举一反三
The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory while the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits.
Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company, telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others.
But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled. Each time the girl left, the old man would give her some money. The doctor did nothing to interfere (干涉), unwilling to offend the old man. A month later the old man showed evident signs of decline after suffering coma (昏迷) a few times.
When rescued from the latest coma, the old man told the doctor his last wish, “I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies？”
But the doctor knew that her family was welloff and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car.
When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $ 500 to the doctor, saying, “The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty. He gave me money so that I could continue my schooling.” Now he got the answer to the puzzle. In the last period of his life, the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need.

I managed to get into my wool snow trousers. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots.
In her calm, motherly voice she said, “By the end of winter, you will all be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected grown-ups to do all the work. After much pushing, she managed to get the first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced, “They’re on the wrong feet.”
She struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again.
“They’re my brother’s boots, you know,” I said. “I hate them!”
Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying little girl, She pushed and pushed, less gently this time. With a greater sigh, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your mittens（连指手套）?”
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I hid them in the toes of my boots.”
小题1:The little girl was more satisfied with her__________-.
| A．trousers | B．jacket | C．boots | D．hat |
| A．the girl got them from her brother | B．the girl put something in them |
| C．they were on the wrong feet | D．they did not fit the girl well |
| A．Because the little girl was in her brother’s clothes. |
| B．Because it was the most exciting day of the winter. |
| C．Because the little girl played a trick on her. |
| D．Because the little girl wore a pretty scarf. |
But it 21 a long time to believe such good things could happen to me. When I was a child, I stuttered（结巴）so badly that I was completely 22 to speak in public.
23 when I was 14, Professor Donald Crouch came to my school. He was a retired college professor. English was his favorite subject and 24 was his deepest love. He held a book of poems as if it were a crystal, 25 pages as if uncovering treasures. When he heard that our school was teaching Shakespeare and other classics, he felt 26 for not being a part of our school sooner.
When he 27 that I not only loved poetry but was 28 it, we became closer. There was, however, one 29 -- Professor Crouch could not stand the 30 that I refused to read my poems to the class.

I stared at him in disbelief. “Why,” I started, 36 flooding me. “of course I did !” “Well, then,” he said, “you’ve got to prove it by getting up and reciting it from 37 .”
By then the other students had settled at their desks. With knees shaking, I walked up to the front. For a moment I stood there 38 Then I began, and kept going. I recited my poem all the way 39 !
Afterwards, Professor Crouch encouraged me to read other writers’ poetry before the public. I discovered I did have a(n) 40 and found my classmates actually looked forward to hearing me recite.

Hilary did not like Australia and Australia did not like Hilary. What he could do seemed to be one of two things: die or work. The thought of neither of these gave him any pleasure. Then he remembered that he was not alone in the world. He possessed an aunt.
She was his father’s only sister, but his father used to say she brought no glory to the family. Hilary, of course, tried to discover what she had done. It seemed that she had failed to marry a nobleman. Instead, she had chosen a husband who was connected with trade. Of course as soon as she became “Mrs Parks”, her brother considered her dead. Later on, Mr. Parks died and left her a lot of money; but that did not bring her back to life in her brother’s opinion.
Hilary discovered his aunt’s address. Fortunately she remained faithful and honest to him even after she fell ill. So Hilary’s star shone again. When he was feeling honest, he could talk attractively. He frequently visited his aunt’s house; and soon he was living comfortably in the building which the profits of trade had provided.
One thing was soon clear: his aunt was seriously ill, and nothing could cure her illness. Hilary was very worried. Fate had found a home for him, and was now going to throw him out of it. There was only one thing that could save him: her will.
“Will?” she said, “yes, I have made one. That was when I was a girl and had not much money. I left all my money to some religious people.”
“Didn’t you make another will when you were married?” Hilary asked.
His aunt shook her head. “No,” she said in a low voice, “There was no need. When I finally had a lot of money I found I had no relations.”
On the next day he went to the public library and examined a book of law. It told him what he already believed. When a woman is married, an earlier will loses its value. A new will must be made. If no new will is made, the money goes to the nearest relation. Hilary knew that he was his aunt’s only relation. His future was safe.
After a few months had passed, Hilary’s problems became serious. He badly needed money. He had expensive tastes, and owed a lot of money to shopkeepers. They trusted him because his aunt was rich; but the debt was terrible.
Unfortunately his aunt did not want to discuss money matters at all. In the end they had a quarrel about the small amount of ten pounds. Hilary was now very angry. He began to wonder about a new problem. Was it kind to want his aunt to live any longer? Was it not better for her to die now? While he was considering what to do, his aunt told him that she was going to send for her lawyer. So she was going to make a new will. Hilary thought she might leave all her money to someone else. Soon he reached a clear decision．He must do a great kindness to the poor old woman.
One night when the old servant who had been nursing his aunt went off, he doubled the amount of some medicine. The total amount was too great and it could just put her to sleep forever.
“Thank you,” his aunt took the glass from his hand with a grateful look. “I want, more than anything, to sleep, and never to wake up again. Is that what you wish, Hilary? I have given you your chance. Don’t blame me if I have some doubts about what you intended to do. Sick people get these ideas, you know. One thing I ought to explain to you. Mr. Parks never married me. He already had a wife and couldn’t marry again. That made your foolish father very angry with me… Well, if I am alive tomorrow I shall make another will in your favor. If I die tonight, you’ll get nothing… No, Hilary, don’t try to take the glass away. If you do that, I shall know; and I don’t want to know. Good night, Hilary.”
Then, very carefully, she raised the glass to her mouth and drank.

| A．She wanted to sleep and never to wake up again. |
| B．She never got married to Mr. Parks. |
| C．Mr. Parks had a wife. |
| D．She would make a new will tomorrow. |
| A．Hilary escaped from the prison. |
| B．Hilary quarreled with his aunt about ten pounds. |
| C．Hilary’s aunt drank the medicine her nephew prepared for her. |
| D．Hilary’s aunt made a will to leave all her money to someone else. |
My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other"s journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, " This writing isn"t fit to line (衬垫) the bottom of a birdcage. " Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.
小题1:The passage mainly discusses ________.
| A．teaching | B．literature |
| C．humor | D．knowledge |
| A．funny | B．tiring |
| C．inspiring | D．brilliant |
| A．was not able to make students laugh |
| B．hurt his students" feelings |
| C．didn"t let his students do the grading |
| D．had no sense of humor |
