On a Friday night, a poor young artist stood at the gate of the subway station, playing his violin. Many people put some money into the       of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came again, and put his hat on the ground gracefully.    from the day before, he took out a large piece of      and laid it on the ground. Then he began      .
Before long, the young violinist was      with people, who were all attracted by the       on that paper, which said, "Last night, a gentleman named George Sang put something important into my hat     . Please come to claim(認(rèn)領(lǐng)) it soon."
After half an hour, a middle-aged man ran there in a hurry and     through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it’s you. You did come here. I knew that you’re an honest man and would       come here."
"Are you Mr. George Sang?"
The man nodded.
"Did you      something?"
"Lottery (彩票). It’s lottery," said the man.
The violinist     a lottery ticket on which George Sang’ s name was seen. "Is it？" he asked.
George nodded, seized the lottery ticket and       it; then he danced with joy.
George bought a lottery ticket which       him a prize of $ 500,000. He was so happy after work and felt the violinist playing so wonderfully that he put 50 dollars in the hat.      , the lottery ticket was also thrown in.
When asked why he didn’t keep the lottery ticket      himself, the violinist said,"      I don’t have much money, I live happily; but if I lose honesty, I won’t be happy forever."
We can gain and lose so much in our life. But being honest should      be with us. If we bear ourselves in a dishonest way, we     succeed temporarily (暫時(shí)). However, from the long-term view, we’11 be a loser. Such a person is just like the         on the mountain. It’s high above at first, but gradually it falls and loses the    of going up.

Growing up, I knew I was different. My father had left and he never came back. As I later discovered, the abandonment triggered my anxiety attacks. I feared being alone, unwanted, unpopular, and unloved.
My first attack came in a ninth-grade class: The teacher asked me to walk in front of the class, but I couldn't do it- I was soaked in sweat, shaking. My symptoms began every morning from the moment when I stepped inside the school building.
Throughout my childhood, I was no stranger to the doctor's office. My mother tried everything she could in hope of a breakthrough. There were times I thought suicide could be the only way to make the pain stop.
By age 16, I had shut down socially. Most of my peers were going to parties, playing sports, and dating. But I was a prisoner in my own home.
Then one Sunday morning, my wake-up call came from a magazine article. Freddie Prinze, Jr. was on the cover. The article detailed the pain of losing his father at a young age. I felt as though I were reading my own life story. The only difference? He was now a success.
That article inspired me to explore a new treatment option for myself. I wanted to turn my life around as well. So I hit the library and the Internet, and I began to realize how my negative thoughts controlled my physical well-being.
Immediately, I made a plan to take charge of my life. Shortly after following the items I had listed, I was able to stop seeing a therapist. I never returned to high school, but I did go to college. After graduation, I pursued a career in television news. My relationships have changed for the better, too. I've made new friends and reconnected with many from my past
The anxiety isn't completely gone, but whenever it returns, I know the feeling will pass, and know I have the power to change my life, only if I will give myself a chance.
小題1:The writer's anxiety attacks were mainly caused by         .
A．the high school which he attendedB．the teacher who asked him to walk
C．the writer himself who was fearfulD．the father who left in his childhood
小題2:The breakthrough of the writer's treatment came when________.
A．the mother took him to the doctorB．the writer read a magazine article
C．the writer's pain finally stoppedD．the writer went to college
小題3:What did the writer do after following the plan?
A．He went to see therapists.B．He returned to high school.
C．He contacted his old friends.D．He didn't suffer any attacks.
小題4:The writer wrote this story to tell us________.
A．a(chǎn)nxiety attacks are not lasting if we have proper treatment
B．we shouldn't keep ourselves away from the outside world
C．we can change our lives if we give ourselves a chance
D．fathers are not supposed to abandon their small kids

Although the Garden God had made him the most beautiful place that there could ever be, Adam was lonely.
Adam needed some   . So God reached into the ground again and took some more stuff from the earth. This time he made every kind of animal and every kind of bird. He brought them all to Adam to see   he would call them. It must have   a long, long time to think up all those   ! Luckily, he didn't call them things like 'Foo Foo' or “Snuggems”or 'Pooky' or anything like that.     , he called them 'gerbils' and 'rabbits' and 'rhinoceroses'. And he   the birds 'eagles' and 'egrets' and 'ruby throated warblers'.
Well,     , we don't know what Adam named them,     he didn't speak English. But he named each kind, and that's important because people are the only ones that name things. Your   knows what a squirrel is, but he doesn't call   a squirrel. He just barks   it! But naming things is one of the things that shows we are   from all the other creatures that God made.    
    even with all the animals around to keep him company, God saw that Adam was    sad. Monkeys are fun to play with, but they don't have very much to say and they have   table manners. So God made Adam fall   , and while Adam was sleeping, God took one of his ribs(肋骨).God took Adam's   and he made a woman from it. When Adam woke up, God   Eve to him , and Adam said, “At last! Here is   like me! Her bones were made from my bones, and her body was made from my body. I will call her 'woman' because that means she was taken out of man.”
At last Adam was   . And so Adam and Eve lived together in God's garden.

There was once a professor of medicine, who was very strict with the students. Whenever he took the chair on the exam committee, the students would be in fear, because he was seldom pleased with the answers they gave. A student would be lucky enough if he or she could receive a good mark from him. At the end of the term, the students of medicine would take their exam again. Now a student entered the exam room and got seated before the committee. This student was a little nervous as he knew it would not be so easy to get through the exam at all.
The professor began to ask. The student was required to describe a certain illness, his description of which turned out to be OK.
　　Then the professor asked about the cure (藥劑) for illness, and the student, too, answered just as right.
“Good,” said the professor, “ and how much will you give the patient?”
“A full spoon”, answered the student.
“Now you may go out and wait for what you can get.”, said the professor. At the same time, the committee discussed carefully the answers the student had given. Suddenly the student noticed that there was something wrong with his last answer. “ A full spoon is too much,” he thought to himself. Anxiously he opened the door of the room and cried, “Mr Professor, I’ve make a mistake! A full spoon is too much for a patient. He can take only five drops.”
“I’m sorry, sir.” Said the professor coldly, “But it’s too late. Your patient has died.
小題1:The students were afraid of the professor because_________.
A．they often angered and disappointed him
B．their answers often astonished him
C．their answers seldom satisfied him
D．he often misunderstood(誤解) them and give them bad marks
小題2:The student’s description of the illness was _____.
A．not correctB．not satisfiedC．completely discouragingD．a(chǎn)ccepted.
小題3:Before he left the room the student was almost sure that ______.
A．he had passed the exam, and the only thing was to wait for the mark
B．his last answer was satisfying
C．he had made a mistake
D．he had not done well in the exam.
小題4:Which of the following is Not true?
A．The patient will be in danger if he’s taken as much as a full spoon.
B．The doctor will be in trouble if he’s given the patient a full spoon.
C．Since one spoon is less than five drops, the patient will be all right soon if he takes only one full spoon at a time.
D．If the patient wants to remain safe, he should take no more than five drops at a time.

Someone telephoned me today asking if I would be willing to bring food to a family in need. The mother was having a major operation and would be lying down for several weeks. Of course, I responded with an immediate “Yes!”. As I planned the meal in my head, I reflected on how many times over the years I had been asked to prepare food. I have done so countless times with a very open heart.
But the truly amazing thing is that I have received double over the course of my life. When my mother passed away, our house was filled with fresh dinners for weeks. A woman from the church of our community stopped by each evening with some food. The gift of food was her small way of trying to ease our pain.
Later in my life, when I was on bed rest during my pregnancy with twins, women of the church again stepped in to help. They arranged babysitting for my two-year-old daughter, and brought lovely dinners to our house. Even when I was put in the hospital, my husband would bring cooked meals to my hospital room. How we relied on these dinners to feed my tired husband and young daughter.

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 am. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.
I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak and elderly voice. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.
I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly towards the car.
She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing,” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”
“Oh, you are such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”
“It's not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.
“Oh, I'm in no hurry,” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice (臨終醫(yī)院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long.”
I quietly reached over and shut off the meter (計(jì)價(jià)器).
For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.
Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.
At dawn, she suddenly said, “I'm tired. Let's go now.”
We drove in silence to the address she had given me.
“How much do I owe you?” she asked.
“Nothing.” I said.
“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers.” I answered.
Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”
