I’m sitting in a quiet room at the Millcroft Hotel, a peaceful place hidden back among pine trees about an hour out of Toronto. It’s just past noon, late July, and I’m       the desperate (絕望的) sounds of a life-and-death       going on a few feet away.
There’s a small       burning out the last of its short life’s energies in a (an)     to fly through the glasses of the window.        , it’s not working. The great effort offers no hope for survival. Ironically (諷刺地), the struggle is part of the trap. It is      for the fly to try hard enough to succeed in       through the glass. This fly is doomed (注定失敗). It will         there on the windowsill.
Across the room, ten steps    , the door is open. Ten seconds of flying time and this small creature could reach the outside world it      . With only a small effort now being     , it could be free of this self-set     . The breakthrough possibility is there. It would be so      .
Why doesn’t the fly try another approach,         dramatically different? How did it get so locked in on the idea      this particular route and determined effort offer the most promise for success?
No doubt this way makes     to the fly. Regrettably, it is an idea that will kill it.
Trying hard isn’t necessarily the solution     achieving your goal. It may not offer any real      for getting what you want out of life. Sometimes, in fact, it is a big part of the problem.
If you       your hopes like the fly for a break-through, you may       your chances for success.

This was my grandmother's first Christmas without grandfather, and before he passed away we had promised grandfather that we would make this her best Christmas ever. When my parents and I             at her house, we found she had waited up all night for us. The house did seem a little           without grandfather.
Grandfather had always said that the Christmas           was the most important decoration of all. So we immediately set to work on the beautiful artificial tree that was stored in grandfather's closet (壁櫥). Through our efforts, we finally stepped back to             our handiwork. It looked beautiful.           something was missing.
"Where' s your star?" I asked.
The star was my grandmother' s favorite part of the tree.
"Why, it           be here somewhere," she said, starting to sort through the boxes again. "Your grandfather always           everything so carefully when he took the tree down."
As we emptied the boxes and          no star, my grandmother's eyes filled with tears. Grandfather had given it to grandmother some fifty years ago on their first Christmas together. It brought them great happiness. Now, on her first Christmas without him, the star was          , too.
"Don' t worry, Grandmother," I           her. "We'll find it for you."
My mother and I formed a search          . "Let' s start in on the closet where the ornaments (裝飾品) were," Mother said. "Maybe the star just fell out of the box. "
That sounded         , so I began to search the closet. I thought I tried every        , but no star. I could see grandmother was          , although she tried not to show it.
"What's in this wrapped box?" Mother suddenly called out. "It was at the bottom of father's closet. "
Grandmother took the box in           and opened it. Her face           when she unfolded the paper and pulled out a golden star. There was a(n)           attached.
Don' t be angry with me, dear. I broke your star while packing the decorations, and I couldn't           to tell you. Thought it was time for a new one. I hope it brings you as much         as the first one. Merry Christmas!
Love,
Bryant
So grandmother's tree had a star after all, a star that expressed their everlasting love for one another. And we were glad we were able to make this Christmas           for her.

Several years ago, while attending a communication course, I experienced a most unusual process. The instructor asked us to list      in our past that we felt      of, regretted, or incomplete about and read our lists aloud.
This seemed like a very  38  process, but there’ s always some     soul in the crowd who will volunteer. The instructor then      that we find ways to      people, or take some action to right any wrong doings. I was seriously wondering how this could ever      my communication.
Then the man next to me raised his hand and volunteered this story: “Making my      , I remembered an incident from high school. I grew up in a small town. There was a Sheriff      of us kids liked. One night, my two buddies and I decided to play a      on him.
After drinking a few beers, we climbed the tall water tank in the middle of the town, and wrote on the tank in bright red paint: Sheriff Brown is a s.o.b.(畜生). The next day, almost the whole town saw our glorious      . Within two hours, Sheriff Brown had us in his office. My friends told the truth but I lied. No one      found out.”
“Nearly 20 years later, Sheriff Brown’s name      on my list. I didn’t even know if he was still      . Last weekend, I dialed the information in my hometown and found there was a Roger Brown still listed. I tried his number. After a few      , I heard, “Hello?” I said, “Sheriff Brown?” Paused. “Yes.” “Well, this is Jimmy Calkins.”
“And I want you to know that I did it.” Paused. “I knew it!” he yelled back. We had a good laugh and a      discussion. His closing words were: “Jimmy, I always felt bad for you      your buddies got it off their chest, but you were carrying it      all these years. I want to thank you for calling me...for your sake.”
Jimmy inspired me to      all 101 items on my list within two years, and I always remember what I learned from the course: It’s never too late to      the past wrongdoings.

The idea for the book Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came to Joanne Kathleen Rowling in 1990. It took her seven years to finish writing it. During those seven years she had a number of jobs, including one job as an English teacher in Portugal.
Rowling sent the book to four publishers before one of them bought it. She was very happy to sell her book because it was her life's dream to be a published writer. Before she sold her book, Rowling was living in a small apartment with her daughter and was so poor that she could not afford heat in the winter.
Harry Potter became very successful with children and adults in England. The book also really took off in the United States. After her second and third books were published, the three Harry Potter books filled the top three places on many newspapers' lists of best-sellers. Then the books were made into popular movies. Without question, Rowling's life had completely changed, in just three years.
Harry Potter books have now sold more than 30 million books around the world and have been translated into more than thirty-five languages. In 1997, Rowling was earning ￡70 (about US$110) a week. By the end of 2001, she had earned over ￡150 million ($250 million), making her one of the most successful female writers of all time.

Perfect Disaster
All around us buildings shook. We decided to leave the town. We stopped once we had left the buildings behind us. The carts were moving in opposite directions, though the ground was perfectly flat, and they wouldn't stay in place even with their wheels blocked by stones.
In addition, it seemed as though the sea was being sucked(吸) backwards, as if it were being pushed back by the shaking of the land. Certainly the shoreline moved outwards, and many sea animals were left on dry sand.
Behind us were frightening dark clouds that opened up to show fire—like lightning, but bigger. Not long after that the clouds reached down to the ground and covered the sea. Now came the dust, though still thin. I looked back. A dense cloud appeared behind us, following us like a flood pouring across the land. Then a darkness came that was not like a moonless or cloudy night, but more like being in a closed and unlighted room. You could hear women and children crying, men shouting. Some were calling for parents, others for children; they could only recognize them by their voices.
Darkness and ashes came again, a great weight of them. We stood up and shook the ash off again and again; otherwise we would have been covered with it and crushed by the weight.
At last the cloud became thinner and thinner until it was no more than smoke or fog. Soon there was real daylight. The sight that met our still terrified eyes was a changed world, buried in ash like snow.
―from Pliny's letter to a friend

The younger daughter of former New York Mayor Richard White has moved her wedding from New Year’s Eve to this Thursday so her mother, who has been fighting against cancer for 11 years, can take part in the ceremony, a family spokesman said on Wednesday, Oct, 12, 2013. Elizabeth Lally White, who turns 28 on Thursday, will marry Sam Peterson in Spiaggia, a restaurant on North Michigan Avenue. The reception also will be held at the restaurant, which had been previously scheduled to host the couple’s engagement party on Thursday.

Lally White’s mother, Maggie, 68, was reported to have caught breast cancer in 2002. She had an operation in her leg in April and she was hospitalized twice in the weeks following the procedure for treatment of flu-like symptoms that doctors said were not related to the cancer. Maggie, who has used a walker or a wheelchair during most public appearances in recent years, is well beyond the average survival time for someone with breast cancer.
“As the mayor himself has said, she had a pretty difficult summer.” said Jacquelyn Heard, who served Mayor White’s press secretary for years and followed him to the same international law firm that he joined after leaving office in May. “She was not able to get around the way that she normally would do. This year, she has had quite a few setbacks and they’ve been pretty well documented. Lally White decided to reschedule the wedding so that her mom can participate in the festivities (慶�；顒�(dòng)).” Heard said. Lally White is a doctoral candidate at De-Paul University and plans to work with autistic (孤獨(dú)癥) children, and Sam Peterson works in insurance, Heard said.
Richard and Maggie White married in 1972 and had three children in addition to Lally — Nora, Patrick and Kevin. But Kevin was born with a disease and died in 1981 at 33 months.
小題1:When was Elizabeth Lally White born?
A．In 1983.B．In 1987.C．In 1985.D．In 1984.
小題2:What can we infer from Paragraph 2?
A．Maggie, 68, is recovering now.
B．Maggie caught breast cancer in 2002.
C．The cancer caused some flu-like symptoms on Maggie.
D．Average breast cancer patients lived a life shorter than Maggie.
小題3:Why did Lally White reschedule her wedding?
A．She was afraid that her mother couldn’t participate her wedding on New Year’s Eve.
B．She was eager to work with autistic children after wedding.
C．Her family will move out of New York.
D．Her mother will accept operation because of her disease.
小題4:How many children did the former mayor and his wife give birth to?
A．3.B．4.C．5.D．6.
小題5:What does the passage mainly talk about?
A．The political life of former Mayor.
B．The brave wife of former Mayor.
C．The wedding of former Mayor’s daughter.
D．The family life of former Mayor.

She       some rubbish with her left hand and slowly straightened(伸直) herself up again. All the while she used the rubbish bin to       herself. She threw the rubbish inside the bin and then       walking. It all took her great effort（努力）.
There’s so much rubbish and no one ever does       about it. I was moved to       this old woman make such a great effort to keep even a small part of it     ! I haven’t been able to       thinking about that all day.
I want to follow her example. I’ve decided to pick up rubbish off the       if I meet from now on. I hope people will do the same as I do.

科目：高中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：不詳 題型：閱讀理解

That summer an army of crickets(蟋蟀) started a war with my father. Dad cared for insects no more than Mamma, but he could tolerate a few living in the basement. Mamma was a city girl and she said a cricket was just too noisy. Then to support her point she wouldn’t go to bed. She drank coffee and smoked my father’s cigarettes and paced between the sofa and the TV. Next morning she threatened to pack up and leave, so Dad drove to the store and hurried back. He sprayed poison from a jug. When he was finished he told us that was the end of it.
For a couple of weeks we went back to find dead crickets in the laundry. He suggested that we’d all be better off to hide as many as we could from Mamma. I fed a few dozen to the cat who I didn’t like because he scratched for no reason.
However,soon live crickets started showing up in the kitchen and bathroom. Mamma was upest because she thought they were the dead crickets coming back,but Dad said these were certainly new ones. He fetched his jug of posion and sprayed all over until the whole house smelled of posion, and then he sprayed the basement again.
A couple of weeks later, when both live and dead crickets kept turning up, Dad emptied the basement of junk. Then he burned a lot of old newspapers and magazines which he said the crickets had turned into nests.
While we ate supper that evening, the wind lifted some flames onto the wood pile. The only gasoline was in the lawn mower’s(割草機(jī)) fuel tank but that was enough to create an explosion big enough to reach the house. Once the roof caught, there wasn’t much anyone could do.
After the fire trucks left, Mamma took the others to Aunt Gail’s. I helped Dad and Uncle Burt carry things out of the house and pile them by the road. We worked into the night and we didn’t talk much, while all around the noise of crickets broke our silence.
