When we are unfamiliar with something, we may feel nervous and fearful. The help of others is a good   36   to help us pull through.
I write for a big newspaper, and I wanted to   37   a story about parachute jumping(跳傘). To make it a realistic as well as exciting   38   , I decided that I had to make a jump myself   39  . Unluckily, I’m not good at any   40  , let alone(更不用說)parachute jumping.
My friend Mr. Smith was willing to give me a   41   . He took me to a ground school. The first day’s   42    included several hours of instruction but not my first drop from a(n)   43 . For this, I had to wait until the following   44  .
The next morning, I was taken to the airfield.   45  , a heavy parachute was put on my back. Then I was   46    to make my way to a small plane which had just stopped slowly on the runway. Once on board, the plane was soon   47   . I began to feel nervous. As we reached one thousand meters, Harry, my teacher, hooked(鉤)a   48   from my parachute to a steel ring inside the plane. The line was to pull my parachute    49  after I jumped.
“Get   50  , Henry,” Harry said. I moved carefully to the door. I wanted to   51  , “NO, no, no!” But no word came.
“Jump!” Harry called   52   . “Jump!”
Away from the plane, and down, down I fell, arms stretched. It worked All at once I was very happy. Then I felt a quick   53  . My big parachute had opened! It was the best   54   I ever had. I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was   55  .

One morning, a young man leading a goat lost his way due to the thick mist.Then he met a blind man and asked whether he also lost his way.The blind man said, “I cannot see anything.Therefore, the mist doesn’t affect me.I followed the path in my memory and it never goes wrong.”
Happily the young man led the goat following him forward.The blind man asked where he was going.He said he wanted to sell his goat.“Male or female? How many years have you kept it?” The young man spoke without too much thought, “A female goat of 3 years!”
The young man was still following the blind man when he was grasped the hand by the blind man.He shouted ,“Here is the police station! Go into it and elaborate on how you stole the goat!”
The young man had been a thief for a long time and admitted the goat was stolen by him.He asked the blind man puzzlingly, “But how do you know I am a thief?”
The blind man smiled, “I have been keeping goats for decades and can tell one of them is male or female as well as their age according to their voices.The goat you led just now is obviously a male goat, but you said female.The goat is simply a little more than one year old, but you said you had kept it for three years.Moreover, the goat will bleat totally differently when he is led by a stranger instead of his owner.So I can tell the goat does not belong to you!” Only then did the thief understand the whole thing with his head dropped down.

Many of the stories written by Mark Twain take place in Hannibal, Missouri. The small wooden house where he lived as a boy still stands there. Next to the house is a wooden fence. It is the kind described in Twain's book, "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer," published in1876.
In that story, Tom has been told to paint the fence. He does not want to do it. But he acts as if the job is great fun. He tricks other boys into believing this. His trick is so successful that they agree to pay him money to let them finish his work. "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" is considered one of the best books about an American boy's life in THE the1800s.
Tom Sawyer's good friend is Huckleberry, or "Huck," Finn. Mark Twain tells this boy's story in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn." Huck is a poor child, without a mother or home. His father drinks too much alcohol and beats him.
Huck's situation has freed him from the restrictions of society. He explores in the woods and goes fishing. He stays out all night and does not go to school. He smokes tobacco.
Huck runs away from home. He meets Jim, a black man who has escaped from slavery. They travel together on a raft made of wood down the Mississippi River. Huck describes the trip:  "It was lovely to live on the raft. Other places seem so cramped up and smothery, but a raft don't. You feel mighty free and easy and comfortable on a raft... Sometimes we'd have that whole river to ourselves for the longest time...

Everyone would like to be a millionaire , a person with a lot of money, but can you imagine having over $30 million and only being 20 years old? Britney Spears from Kentwood, a small town in Louisiana, is only 20 years old. She is a world famous film star with not only $30 million but also a $2 million house in LA. At her young age, she can look after her family financially (經(jīng)濟(jì)上) all her life. This year is a big year for Britney. She is now on a 31-day tour of the US and every concert is a sell-out. That means she plays in front of a crowd of around 18,000 people every time. It’s a tiring schedule but brings her a lot. When touring, she goes to bed around 1 a.m. and then has a lie-in until 1 p.m. the next day. Her philosophy (人生觀) is to take care of the body and relax but always make sure you work hard and have fun.
Spears is not pleased with only touring and selling nearly 40 million records so she decided to step into the movie business and try a bit of acting. She made an appearance in “Austin Power 3” this year and she is filming a teenage light play that will come out in March 2003. In this movie, she has a starring role.
For Britney, acting is another way to express herself and she is enthusiastic (熱心的) about it all. If her movies are successful, her money in the bank is sure to grow by another few million dollars but she does it for the love, not the money, as she herself tells the reporters .
小題1: We can infer (推斷) from the text that most millionaires are __________.
A.older than 20B.a(chǎn)round 20C.in their 30sD.in their 40s
小題2: The underlined word “you” in the first paragraph refers to __________.
A.a(chǎn) person in generalB.a(chǎn) special person
C.Britney SpearsD.a(chǎn) person interested in money
小題3: Which of the following is not true according to the text?
A.Though young, Britney can support her family now.
B.While touring, Britney sleeps about 12 hours a day.
C.The teenage comedy movie was based on Britney’s own story.
D.Britney will be even richer with her movies successful.
小題4:According to Britney Spears, she works __________.
A.to be a great actressB.for the enjoymentC.for moneyD.to be more famous
