During his first year at college, Chuck would stopp by the school a few times to keep me informed of his 23. We recalled(回憶)that we had worked together several years before to 24 money for some sick African babies who were being cared for by a nurse friend of mine in Thailand, a place far away yet close to our 25. Chuck raised several thousand dollars. It was an activity that 26 our common relationship into a friendship.
In his second year at college, it was discovered that Chuck had lung cancer and had only a short while to 27. I went to see him one day. Seeing me, he was filled with 28 and we talked and laughed for most of the afternoon.
About six weeks later, Chuck died. It was a great 29 for everyone, especially for his family. Chuck was 30 and full of promise. More  31, he was a good person, a just person.
When I went to his funeral(葬禮), his father told me that several weeks before, Chuck had asked him to 32 his possessions with him so that he might select a few things to be buried together with him . Chuck 33 six items, including an essay(論文) he had written.
He told me that Chuck liked the 34 I had written to him at the bottom of the last page. In that little note, I affirmed(證實(shí)) his talent as a 35.
I was grateful for the 36 gift Chuck gave me that day. His taking my note with him offered me a great opportunity to 37 students’ lives. I felt a sense of purpose that was greater than ever. Whenever I 38 my purpose in teaching, I think of Chuck, and I am reminded of it once again: 39 have the power to affect hearts and 40 for a long time.

One morning I wasted nearly an hour watching a tiny ant carry a huge feather. Several times, it   31   several obstacles in its path. And after a momentary pause it would make the necessary detour (繞道).   32  one point, the ant had to cross a crack about 10mm wide. After some   33 
thoughts, the ant laid the feather over the crack, walked   34  it and picked the feather up on the other side, then continued on its way. I was   35  by the cleverness of this ant. It was only a small insect, lacking in   36  yet equipped with a brain to reason, explore, discover and overcome.  37  this ant, like the other two-legged creatures   38  on the earth, also shares human failings.
After some time the ant   39  reached its destination—a flower bed and a small hole that was the entrance to its   40  home. It was there that the ant met its   41  .How could that large feather possibly   42  such a small hole? Of course, it couldn’t. So the ant, after all this   43  and using great brightness, overcoming problems all along the way, just gave up the   44  and went home. The ant had not thought the problem through   45  it began its journey and in the end the feather was   46  more than a burden. Isn’t our   47  like that?
We worry about our families; we worry about the   48  of money; and we worry about all kinds of things. These are all burdens—the things we pick up along life’s path, and drag them around the obstacles and over the cracks that life will bring, only to   49  that at the destination they are
  50  and we can’t take them with us.

It was on a warm day last summer. I was walking by the sea. The waves came and went. But I didn’t see them. I was lost in my thoughts.
A row of small holes soon caught my eyes. They lay in the sandy earth by the side of a road. In a minute I would have stepped on them.
What are these holes? I wondered. It had an answer soon. A fat, hairy insect crawled up from the earth. It had a wide tail. It was using the tail to dig in the ground.
The insect moved round and round in one spot(地點(diǎn)). Soon it had made another hole. When it was finished, the insect hid at the bottom. It covered its head with sand.
By now my thoughts of the early morning had gone. This new hole and the insect were all my world. So I sat quite still by the side of the road. And I waited.
As I watched, a small ant crossed the road. It passed my foot, and then it crossed the sandy earth. In a little while it reached the edge of the hole. I saw it start to fall in. The ant tried to turn back. But it couldn’t.
And then I knew. I knew why the holes were there. For just then the fat insect came up out of the hole. It ate the ant who was trapped there.
Later I learned the insect’s name. It’s called ant lion. It digs holes to catch ants.
I’ll never forget that day. The holes looked so small to me. But to the ant and the ant lion they were the whole world.
I took my walks by the sea that summer. But I never again learned as much as I did on the one.

A.To thinkB.To eat her lunch

Count Me Out
Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but refuse to become part of this new Internet world.
I do not possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Likewise, if you like something advertised in a newspaper or magazine, you visited the shop selling it at the given address, or you phoned, the number shown. Then you spoke to the fellow and asked for further details.
Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: “Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford. com at the awareness site.” There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do it they are seeking a cure for their illness?
There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the Internet. You can, for example, send love messages across the world or even get married to someone that you meet online. This bit doesn’t interest me; I have been happily married for 60 years. There are, of course, other activities for Internet users besides finding love. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss with their doctors.
And this is by no means all. More amazing things are yet to come in the near future. I read a newspaper report recently that quoted Stephen Hawking, an important British scientist. “The complexity of a computer as it exists today is probably less than the brain of an earthworm,” he said. “But, as technology advances, computers will become more complex, and a time may come when the Internet may develop ‘consciousness.’ In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own.”
If Professor Hawking is right, I may change my attitude about conjurers. As I grow older each day, I would like one of those that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibilities for all my mistakes.
小題1:What’s the meaning of the title “Count Me Out”?
A.Get me out of the Internet world.
B.Computers are trying to take control of life.
C.Modern technology pushes old people away.
D.Do not expect me to be a supporter of the Internet.
小題2:According to Paragraph 2, the author thinks computers are         .
A.unnecessaryB.convenientC.expensiveD.a(chǎn)dvanced
小題3:What might the author like about the future computer?
A.Taking blames.B.Curing illnesses.
C.Delivering messages.D.Responding to emotions.
