My Garden
-----by Nelson Mandela
In early 1977, the authorities (當(dāng)局) announced the physical labour and arranged some kind of work for us to do in the courtyard. The free time also allowed me to hunt what became two of my favorite hobbies in Robben Island---gardening and tennis.
To survive in prison, one must develop ways to take satisfaction in one's daily life. One can feel fulfilled (充實) by washing one's clothes so that they are particularly clean. Just as one takes pride in important tasks outside of prison, one can find the same pride in doing small things inside prison. Almost from the beginning of my sentence on Robben Island, I asked the authorities for permission to start a garden in the courtyard. For years, they refused without offering a reason. But finally they gave in, and we were able to cut out a small garden in the prison.
The soil in the courtyard was dry and rocky. In order to start my garden, I had to remove a great many rocks to allow the plant room to grow.
The authorities supplied me with seeds. At first, I planned tomatoes and onions, because these plants did not require rich earth or constant care. The early harvests were poor, but they soon improved.
I began to order books on gardening. I studied different gardening techniques and types of fertilizers (肥料). For a time, I tried to grow peanuts, and used different soils and fertilizers, but finally I gave up. It was one of my few failures.
A garden was one of the few things in prison that one could control. The processes of planting a seed, watching it grow, taking care of it and then harvesting it offered a simple but long-lasting satisfaction. The sense of being the owner of the small patch of earth offered a small taste of freedom.
小題1:Mandela's hobbies on Robben Island were ____.
A．hunting and physical labour
B．gardening and tennis
C．washing his clothes
D．gardening techniques and types of fertilizers
小題2:When did Mandela ask the prison authorities for the permission to start a small garden?
A．Soon after 1997.
B．Some time in early 1977.
C．Almost as soon as he went to prison there.
D．Long after he went to prison there.
小題3:Why did Mandela wash his clothes especially clean although he was in prison?
A．To show he could do it as well as others.
B．To get some sense of pride and satisfaction from it.
C．To show others that he preferred to be clean.
D．To gain the authorities' permission to start a garden.
小題4:Hard as he tried, he failed ____ at last.
A．to get a sense of satisfaction and freedom
B．to grow tomatoes and onions
C．to grow peanuts
D．to get the same pride inside prison.

Tess was a precocious(早熟) eight-year-old girl when she heard her Mom and Dad taling about her little brother,Andrew.____ __she knw was that he was very sick and they were completely _____money. They were moving to an apartment complex next month because Daddy didn’t have the money for the doctor’s bills and their house .Only a(n) _____could save him now.
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jelly(果凍) jar from its hiding place. She poured all the     out on the floor and counted carefully. Three times,even.The total had to be absolutely exact. No      here for mistakes. After carefully placing the coins back in the jar, she slipped out of the back door, and     her way six blocks to a chemist’s.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist (藥劑師) to give her some     ,but he was too busy at this moment. Tess twisted her feet to make a noise. Nothing. She cleared her       with the most awful sound she could muster. No good.
Finally the pharmacist asked in an      tone of voice, “What do you want? I’m talking to my brother from Chicago      I haven’t seen in ages,” he said without waiting for a reply to his question.
“Well, I want to talk to you about my brother,” Tess answered back in the same annoyed tone. “His name is Andrew and he has something bad      inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost?”
“We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry,        I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said, his voice        a little.
There was a man there whose clothes were admirable. He asked the little girl, “What kind of a miracle does your brother need?”
“I don’t know” Tess replied with tears in her eyes. “I just know he's        sick and Mommy says he needs an operation. But my Daddy can’t pay       it, so I want to use my money.”
“How much do you have?” asked the man. “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.
“A dollar and eleven cents ― the       price of a miracle for your little brother,” smiled the man, “Take me to        you live. Let’s see if I have the kind of miracle you need.”
That well-dressed man was Dr. Carlton Armstrong, a surgeon, specializing in neurosurgery (神經(jīng)外科). The operation was completely        charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew was home again and did well.
Mom and Dad were happy but they wonder how much the operation would have       . Tess smiled. She knew exactly how much a miracle cost…one dollar and eleven cents…plus the        of a little child.

I was fat kid who grew into an overweight adult. I was      laughed at for being heavier than the other kids,      me feeling shy. I tried several diets, but      worked, and I     gaining weight.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with  26 lace edges. On the glass partition that  27 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  28 and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer  29 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  30 .
“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a  31 of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as  32 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  33 here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something  34 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  35 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a  36 to be a taxi-driver, I began  37 my idea into practice-to tidy and  38 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  39 after a day's work, it always remains  40 .”
When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the  41 but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes  42 on others much more than on oneself.   43 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you  44 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful  45 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.
