School was over and I felt quite tired. I sat at the very 21 of the crowded bus because of my anxiety to get home. Sitting there makes me 22 out like a shiny coin in a pile of dull pennies.
Janie, the 23_ , tries to break the uncomfortable atmosphere by striking the match of _ 24 .
I tried to mind my manners and 25 listen, but usually I am too busy thinking about my day. On this day, 26 , her conversation was worth listening to.
“My father’s sick,” she said to no one in 27 , I could see the anxiety and fear in her eyes. “What’s wrong with him?” I asked. With her eyes wet and her voice tight from 28 the tears, she answered, “Heart trouble.” Her eyes 29 as she continued. “I have already lost my mum, so I don’t think I can stand losing him.”
I was 30 . My heart ached for her. And this reminded me of the great 31 that my own mother was thrown into when her father died. I saw how hard it was, and 32 is, for her. I wouldn’t like anyone to 33 that.
Suddenly I realized Janie wasn’t only a bus driver. That was 34 her job. She had a whole world of 35 and concerns, too. I suddenly felt very __36____. I realized I had only thought of people as far as what their purposes were in my life. I paid no attention to Janie 37 she was a bus driver. I had 38 her by her job and brushed her off as unimportant.
For all I know, I’m just another person in 39 else’s world, and may not be 40 . I should not have been so selfish and self-centered. Everyone has places to go, people to see and appointment to keep. Understanding people is an art.

About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.
That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (触须) they believe came from a jellyfish.
“We were operating on the presumption that nothing’s there.” said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”
“We were just gaga (狂热的) over it,” he said when talking about the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.
The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?
Cynan Ellis – Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding fascinating. He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.
But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. “The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20 cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small area,” she said.
“Yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t,” Kim said.
“So how do they survive? That’s the key question.” Kim said.
“It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything.” Kim said.

Camford is a very small town; there is only one hotel in it, and it was so full that they had to put many of the candidates two in a room. Theo was one of these, and the man who shared the room with him was a self-confident fellow called Adams, about twenty years younger than Theo, with a loud voice, and a laugh that you could hear all over the hotel. But he was a clever fellow all the same and had a good post in Iscaiot College, Narkover. Well, the Dean, who was the head of the department of the University, and the committee interviewed all the candidates; and as a result of this interview, the number of the candidates was reduced to two, Uncle Theo and Adams. The committee couldn’t decide which of the two to take, so they decided to make their final choice after each of the candidates had given a public lecture in the college lecture-hall. The subject they had to speak on was “The Civilization of the Ancient Summerians”; and the lecture had to be given in three days’ time.
Well, for these three days Uncle Theo never left his room. He worked day and night at that lecture, writing it out and memorizing it, almost without eating or sleeping. Adams didn’t seem to do any preparation at all. You could hear his voice and his laughter where he had a crowd of people around him. He came to his room late at night, asked Uncle Theo how he was getting on with his lecture, and then told him how he had spent the evening playing bridge, or at the music hall. He ate like a horse and slept like a log; and Uncle Theo sat up working at his lecture.
The day of the lecture arrived. They all went into the lecture hall and Theo and Adams took their seats on the platform. And then, Theo discovered, to his horror, that typewritten copy of his speech had disappeared! The Dean said they would call on the candidates on the alphabetical order, Adams first; and the despair in his heart, Theo watched Adams calmly take the stolen speech out of pocket and read it to the professors who were gathered to hear it. And how well he read it! Even Uncle Theo had to admit he couldn’t have read it nearly so eloquently himself, and when Adams finished there was a great burst of applause. Adams bowed and smiled, and sat down.
Now, it was Theo’s turn. But what could he do? He had put everything he knew into the lecture. His mind was too much upset to put the same thoughts in another way. With a burning face he could only repeat, word for word, in a low, dull voice, the lecture that Adams had spoken so eloquently. There was hardly any applause when he sat down.
The Dean and the committee went out to decide who the successful candidate was, but everyone was sure what their decision would be. Adams leaned across to Theo and patted him on the back and said, smilingly, “Hard luck, old fellow, but after all, only one of us could win”
Then the Dean and the committee came back, “Gentlemen”, the Dean said, “the candidate we have chosen is Mr. Hobdell.” Uncle Theo had won! The audience were completely taken by surprise, and the Dean continued, “ I think I ought to tell you how we arrived at the decision. We were all filled with admiration at the learning and eloquence of Mr. Adams. I was greatly impressed. But, you will remember, Mr. Adams read his lecture to us. When Mr. Hobdell’s turn came, he repeated that speech, word by word from memory, though, of course, he couldn’t have seen a line of it before. Now a fine memory is absolutely necessary for this post; and what a memory Mr. Hobdell must have! This is why we decided that Mr. Hobdell was exactly the man we wanted! ”
As they walked out of the room, the Dean came up to Uncle Theo, who was so confused but so happy that he hardly knew whether he was standing on his head or heels; and as he shook Theo’s hand he said, “Congratulations, Mr. Hobdell! But, my fellow, when you are on our staff, you must be more careful and not leave valuable papers lying about!”

A.Good-mannered | B.Modest | C.Childish | D.Bookish |

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father 21 me to her with these words: “I would like you to meet the fellow who is 22 for being the worst boy in this county and will probably start throwing rocks at you no 23 than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, raised my head slightly 24 , and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and 25 , “You are wrong. This is not the worst boy at all, 26 the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet(释放的途径)for his enthusiasm.”
That statement began a(n) 27 between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my 28 as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She 29 my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more 30 and my brothers and I could be better educated.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand 31 and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I 32 it, and I saw how it had already improved our lives. I accepted her 33 and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of 34 that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the 35 beneficiary (受益者). My father became the 36 man in town. My brothers and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power 37 has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is 38 strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的)force which poverty and temporary defeat can never 39 .
You can communicate that power to 40 who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. “We’re moving house.” “No space for her any more with the baby coming.” “We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present.” People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. “We didn’t know what had happened to her,” said the woman at the door. “I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared.” “She must have tried to come back to them and got lost,” added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.

A.Shocked. | B.Annoyed. | C.Sympathetic. | D.Upset. |
. In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie .

A.effectiveness | B.time | C.importance | D.complexity |
When I walked into the living-room, my 12-year-old son looked 26 at me and said “I love you”. I didn’t know what to say. 27 several seconds I stood there and 28 down at him. My first thought was that he must need 29 while doing his homework 30 he was trying to prepare me for some 31 .
“ 32 ,” he said, “My teacher said we should tell our parents that we love them and see what they say. It’s an experiment.”
The next day I 33 his teacher at my office to find out more about this “ 34 ” and how the other parents had responded (反应).
“ 35 , most of the fathers did the same as you ,: the teacher explained, “Feeling 36 is an important part of 37 . It’s something all human beings 38 . What I’m trying to tell the children is that it’s too 39 that we don’t express those feelings. A boy should be 40 to tell his dad that he loves him.”
The teacher, a middle-aged man, understands how difficult it is for 41 of us to say the things that would be good for us to say.
When my son came to me 42 , I held on to him for an extra second. And just 43 he pulled away, I said in my deepest, most manly 44 , “Hey, I love you .”
I didn’t know if saying that would make 45 of us healthier, but we did feel pretty better.
