Once, long ago, there was a man who traveled from Persia to India on foot. He had       been to India before. When he arrived at a village, he happened upon a fruit stand. In that village, fruit was quite       because of the lack of water. The man was looking around at the fruits when he      a big basket of some very red, very long fruit. It was the cheapest fruit in the shop, not expensive at all.
     the man walked up to the counter (柜臺(tái)) and asked: “How       per kilo?” And the shopkeeper said: “Two rupees.” Two rupees in India is      . The man thought to himself: “What a       !” So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and began to       it. But after he tried a few pieces, he screamed: “Oh, my God!” His eyes watered, his mouth burned, and his face turned        . He coughed and choked and gasped for breath.
But despite his       , he continued to stuff the fruits into his mouth! Onlookers       their heads and laughed. One man yelled: “You’re       , man! Those are chilies! People use them as a condiment (佐料). You don’t just eat them by the handful like that; they’re not fruit!” But the man replied: “No, I can’t       ! I paid money for them, and now I’ll eat them. It’s my money!”
You probably think this man was pretty      , right? Nevertheless, I bet you or someone you know makes the same       on a daily basis. People invest money, time and effort into a relationship, business or job. Even when experience tells them that it’s not      , and they know there’s little hope of improvement, they still        because they don’t want to waste the previous investment. But this is       . It is no different than being the man who continued eating chilies because he didn’t want to waste the money he’d paid for them.
Losing something is difficult, but it is important to        the loss and move on.     you’ll just keep burning your mouth on hot chilies.

Among professional basketball players，Jeremy Lin’s background is not typical.He graduated from Harvard University，which sends few players to the NBA，and he is the only Chinese­American NBA player.But when you watch him on the court，there is no doubt that he belongs there.He moves with speed and grace(魅力) that show years of faithful practice，which is fueled by a love for basketball.
The Family Effect
Lin’s enjoyment of basketball actually began in Taiwan，where his father started watching it.Lin’s father moved to U．S.，and his interest in the sport only grew.He passed on this love of basketball to his son，introducing him to the game at the age of five.The young Lin spent much of his youth playing basketball for fun.After each game，his parents would discuss not only his score but also his conduct toward other players.This taught Lin that character was more important than playing well，a lesson he still remembers.
Rise of a Star
In high school，Lin dreamed of playing in the NBA but did not really expect to do so.When he applied for college，he was not offered a single sports scholarship.However，after his admission to Harvard，he was offered a place on its college basketball team.During Lin’s time at Harvard，his basketball career began to take off.He scored 1,482 points，making him one of the highest scorers in Ivy League history.Eventually，the recognition he received led him to suspect that his NBA dream could come true.
When he first graduated，no professional teams offered Lin a contract(合約)，but he was invited to play in the NBA Summer League.He played well and ended up eagerly signing a contract with the Golden State Warriors.
Life in the NBA
His journey in NBA did not go very well at first.He spent most of his time on the bench during the past two seasons.He constantly compared himself to other players and gave himself no time to rest up.For the first time in his life，he no longer enjoyed playing basketball.After a few very difficult months，he realized that much of his anxiety and stress came from self­centered desires like wanting to be famous.So he transformed his attitude.He never stopped practicing and never gave up any slim chance.
Now he has become the NBA’s latest phenomenon after leading the New York Knicks to seven straight wins.He stays_humble and thinks that the credit for the winning goes to everyone in his team.Knicks fans developed nicknames for him，such as “Linsanity”，“Lincredible”，and “Linderella”．The Associated Press called Lin “the most surprising story in the NBA”．
小題1:Which of the following is TRUE of Jeremy Lin?
A．He was born in U．S.
B．He was sure of his NBA dream in high school.
C．He loves playing basketball all the time.
D．He was coldly received when he first came to NBA.
小題2:The underlined phrase “stays humble” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．tries his bestB．is modest
C．keeps working hardD．faces the difficulties
小題3:What can we learn from Jeremy Lin?
A．Hard work brings success.
B．We must have a father like Jeremy’s.
C．A good university can help us realize our dreams.
D．Team honour is more important than our own success.
小題4:What is the best title for the text?
A．What Is Next for Jeremy Lin?
B．Jeremy Lin’s Tips for Success
C．Following Dreams and Finding Joy
D．Six NBA Teams Eyeing Jeremy Lin

It was a perfect day, just the right kind of day to go fishing
My 13-year-old son Jonathan and I had been 　   this trip for weeks, and now we were sitting on the shore of a beautiful lake.

I waited, thinking it would pop right back up again, but the float stayed 　   the water and my heart started to beat 　  ．After a few more seconds, my fishing rod was suddenly pulled off the stick it was leaning on 　  me and it was being 　   towards the water.
I firmly caught hold of the fishing rod and lifted it up. This fish was 　  ! Slowly, my son balanced on two rocks and leaned down to get the giant off the fishhook.
For just one second, he lost his 　  　and reached up with his right hand to steady　  . At that moment, our huge fish got off the fishing line and started to swim 　  
I saw teas streaming down Jonathan's face. "Dad, I'm sorry. I'll never be able to　  this up to you." I reached out and put my hands on his shoulders. I said the following 　   almost without thinking. "Jon, how did you feel 　  I was reeling(往卷軸上繞起）that fish in? Were you excited?" He nodded and said，"Dad，I've never been so　  in my whole life!”I repied,
"Jon, wasn’t that about the most fun we've ever had together?" He nodded his head in 　  ．
Then I said, "So, why should we let a fish getting away 　   possibly the best experience we've ever had? Let’s be happy about the fun we did have."
My son, 　   his arms around me, said,"Dad, I love you so much!”1 　   him back and said softly into his ear, "I love you too, Jon."
We 　   did catch that big fish. But I've known ever since that I didn't let the most important thing get away that day.

Computer programmer David Jones earns ￡35,000 a year designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a bank ready to let him have a credit card(信用卡). Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The 16­year­old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job. David' s firm releases(推出) two new games for the fast growing computer market each month.
But David's biggest headache is what to do with his money. Even though he earns a lot, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage(抵押貸款),or get credit cards. David got his job with the Liverpool­based company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O­levels and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs,”he said. David spends some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother 50 pounds a week. But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school,”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school. Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway.”David added：“I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休) is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear.”
小題1:In what way is David different from people of his age?
A．He often goes out with friends.
B．He lives with his mother.
C．He has a handsome income.
D．He graduated with six O­levels.
小題2:What is one of the problems that David is facing now?
A．He is too young to get a credit card.
B．He has no time to learn driving.
C．He has very little spare time.
D．He will soon lose his job.
小題3:Why was David able to get the job in the company?
A．He had done well in all his exams.
B．He had written some computer programs.

These young men were a different kind of prisoner from those we had seen before. They- were brave, hostile（懷敵意的）and＿1__ they would not take orders, and shouted "Amandla！”at every opportunity. Their instinct was to confront（對(duì)抗）rather than cooperate. The authorities② did not know how to handle them, and they turned the island upside down. During the Rivonia Trial, I remarked to a security policeman that if the government did not reform itself, the freedom fighters who would take our place③would some-day make the authorities miss us. That day had indeed come on Robben Island.
In these young men we saw the angry revolutionary spirit of the times. I had had some warning. On a visit with Winnie a few months before, she had managed to tell me through our coded conversation that there was a rising class of discontented youths④ who were violent and Africanist in beliefs. She said they were changing the nature of the struggle and that I should be aware of them.
The new prisoners were shocked by what they considered the inhuman conditions of the island, and said that they could not understand how we could live in such a way. We told them that they should have seen the island in 1964. But they were almost as sceptical of us as they were of the authorities. They chose to ignore our calls for discipline and thought our advice weak and unassertive（不果斷）．
It was obvious that they regarded us, the Rivonia Trialists⑤，as moderates⑥（溫和派）． After so many years of being branded a radical（激進(jìn)的）revolutionary, to be seen as a moderate was a novel and not altogether pleasant feeling. I knew that I could react in one of two ways：I could scold them for their disrespect or I could listen to what they were saying. I chose the latter.
'then some of these men, such as Strini Moodley of the South African Students' Organization and Saths Cooper of the Black People's Convention, came into our section, I __2____
Shortly after their arrival on the island, the commanding officer came and asked me as a favour to address the young men. He wanted me to tell them to behave themselves, to recognize the fact that they were in prison and to accept the discipline of prison life．I told him that I was not prepared to do that. Under the circumstances, they would have regarded me as a follower of the authorities.
