More Than I Had Dreamed Of
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always 36  my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to participate in the elections,   37  I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it   38  to win a school election. I was   39 .
As I cried in my room that evening, I   40  took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would   41  elections again in my final year at school—and I would win.
I recognized that my   42  had a lot of things in their favor. What were the   43  that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest   44  was the faith I had. I would not allow my   45  appearance to hold me back from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I   46  my election plans a whole year in advance.
I realized that girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to   47  them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful,   48  I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to present a great election   49 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal(校长) announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students   50 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was    51  theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had   52  much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people   53  the way. I had won the   54  and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and    55  their day.

My wife and I used to feel that it was impossible to be a true friend to someone whose name we didn’t know. How wrong we were! Years of Sunday-morning bus trips through the city with the same group of “nameless” people have changed our thinking. Before the bus takes off, we all join in a conversation: where’s the silent woman who sits up front and never responds to our cheery greetings? Here she comes. Her worn clothing suggests she doesn’t have much money to spare, but she always takes an extra cup of coffee for the driver.
We get smiles from a Mexican couple as they get on the bus hand in hand. When they get off, they’re still holding hands. The woman was pregnant late last year, and one day her change of shape confirmed that she’d delivered the child. We even felt a little pride at the thought of our extended family.
For many months, our only sadness lay in our inability to establish the same friendship with the silent woman at the front of the bus. Then, one evening, we went to a fish restaurant. We were shown to a table alongside someone sitting alone. It was the woman from the bus.
We greeted her with friendly familiarity we’d shown all year, but this time her face softened, then a shy smile. When she spoke, the words escaped awkwardly from her lips. All at once we realized why she hadn’t spoken to us before. Talking was hard for her.
Over dinner; we learned the stay of a single mother with a disabled son who was receiving special care away from home. She missed him desperately, she explained.
“I love him… and he loves me, even though he doesn’t express it very well,” she murmured. “Lots of us have that problem, don’t we? We don’t say what we want to say, what we should be saying. And that’s not good enough.”The candles flared on our tables. Our fish had never tasted better. But the atmosphere grew pleasant, and when we parted as friends—we shared names.
小题1:Which of the following might be the best title of this passage?
A.Friends of the Road
B.The Silent Woman on the Bus
C.Going to Work by Bus
D.Different Kinds of Friendship
小题2:All the following statements can describe the woman except ______.
A.poorB.warm -heartedC.silentD.cold
小题3:The underlined word “establish” in the third paragraph probably has the same      meaning as              
A.keepB.discoverC.set upD.accept
小题4:Why did the woman usually keep silence while taking the bus?
A.She was worried about her disabled son.
B.She was sad to see the happy Mexican couple us a single mother.
C.She had difficulty in expressing herself.
D.She was only interested in the bus driver.
小题5:The woman had the same problem with her son in the way that ______.
A.they both disabled people
B.they both had some difficulty in expressing
C.they both liked bus travel
D.they both brought interest to the passengers

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times,but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind: you can"t learn if you don"t try. So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since,I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places,without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.
The point is that the new, the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
I"ve learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I"ll go on doing such things. It"s not because I"m braver or more daring than others. I"m not. But I"ll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
小题1:The author accepted the assignment because _____
A. he had never travelled abroad before
B. he hardly knew any foreign languages

A. The author had been abroad only twice.

A.awkwardB.generousC.stubbornD.brave

A.An Interesting Trip AbroadB.My First Writing Assignment
C.Ready to Try and ChallengeD.How to Be Daring and Brave
