One of the things to be learnt in a foreign language is guessing all the time what kind of thing to come when listening to someone talking. People do this all the time in their own language, so it is necessary to do this in a foreign language, too. Here are some examples.

1.” What’s the matter?” “I went to a party last night, so I…”

2.”I feel so tired these days.” “I think you’d better…”

3.”O(jiān)f course, she never stops talking. She is one of the most…”

You can see from the above three examples that the context helps a lot in understanding what is being talked about. So “guessing” is very important in understanding English, especially spoken English.

1.This passage tells us mainly about ________.

2.From the context, we can see maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 1 is ________.

3.Maybe the finished answer in EXAMPLE 2 is ________.

4.From the passage we can infer that guessing is ________ in learning a foreign language.

     This morning, I went to a charity show __(1)_____ in the town center. The charity show, called 'For Every Child', was to raise money for an orphanage(孤兒院).

All of them were so thankful that they___(10)___ while they said thanks to those people who donated. Again, they felt the warmth of being helped by others.

My life suffered a lot in a summer five years ago. My father died in a car accident, leaving my mother, my two younger brothers and I alone. At that time, I was a senior high school student. After my father’s funeral (葬禮), I had no choice but to drop out of school and work in a factory.
I really wanted to return to school and wanted to go to college, but I couldn’t. I only hoped to bring up my two younger brothers. Life was not easy for me, for I can’t afford their tuition (學(xué)費(fèi)) even if I worked from day to night without stopping. Without my father’s protection, I thought I was a slave (奴隸) to the fate.
Later on, something changed my life. I still remember that it was a rainy day. I put myself in the rain and walked slowly in the street.
Suddenly the rain stopped! I raised my head and found “the sky” was in fact a dark blue umbrella. Then I noticed a middle-aged man with one leg on crutch (拐杖) standing behind me. He said to me, “Why not run without an umbrella? If you didn’t run, you would get drenched.”
The man told me that he was promoter (推銷員). He once dreamed of being a policeman, but an accident ruined (毀滅) his dream. Though his present job was not suitable for his legs, it was wonderful start to him. He was very happy that he didn’t lose heart and still “ran” on the road of life…
I was encouraged by the man’s words. I went to a big city and I became an assurance representative (保險(xiǎn)代理人). After two years’ running, I did well and my family condition turned better little by little. Later I returned to school and succeeded in my entrance to university.
Life is like this. When you are in rainy days in your life, if you couldn’t find a way to prevent you from being wet, you would be overwhelmed (被制服). But if you decide to get rid of it, you’ll discover that the rainy days last not so long as you imagine.
【小題1】What happened to the writer at the beginning of the story? 

Dear Dongdong
I have been in Hong Kong for a whole week. I will stay here for another week.
Hong Kong is really a great place to visit. There’s so much to see and do here. And I’ve done so many wonderful things.
I’ve taken the cable car(纜車) to the Peak Galleria (山頂廣場). I’ve been to Hong Kong Racing Museum. I’ve known a lot about horse racing. I’ve also visited Ladies’ Street. In the street I bought some beautiful clothes for my mother. Last night I went to a concert. Chinese traditional music has always been my favourite. This morning I went to Ocean Park and watched the dolphins perform. Dolphins are so clever. They can jump from the water to touch a ball, sway (搖擺) their bodies to music, kiss people and even do math. Mr Host is going to take me to an Italian film festival in Hong Kong Cultural Centre tomorrow. I’m so excited because I have never seen an Italian film before. But some people say they’re boring.
That’s all. Best wishes!
