I had been a high school teacher for six years and had watched a lot of TV shows about solving cases (破案). I was about to begin my dream    35   , something I had wanted for a long, long time.

target

 
On the first Monday of the Firearm Officer Safety Training we were given guns and by Wednesday we were given our first test. We would score one mark for a hit to the    36    on the target, and half a mark for anywhere else on the body. When it was my turn, I entered the house    37   . It was dark and I could hardly see a single thing. Suddenly, one of the targets jumped out at me. I    38    my gun out quickly and fired two shots (射擊). He fell to the ground. Another target appeared from behind and I    39    to get a successful shot. Just at the moment, I noticed something in the corner. I fired four shots and then the test ended. I came out of the house, feeling    40    that I was finally going to pass the test.

When one of the officers followed me out, I couldn’t wait to ask, “Did I pass, sir?” “No,” he said angrily. “What? Why?” I wondered. He then    41    at his shirt and shouted, “See this?   42    shots! Luckily they were paintballs. I didn’t wear any protective gear (裝備) because I was just in the corner to    43    you.”

I said sorry to the officer and told him that I was not terrible at other police trainings and I always scored a high mark when we    44    telling someone that their family member had died. “That’s good,” he said. “Because when you accidentally    45    someone with the way you did, you will be able to tell the family very nicely how they died.” In the end, after nine months of what is usually a six-month course, I realized that people around me would be a lot better off if I    46    to teaching.

I am now the Head of Department for English at a high school. The words of the Rolling Stones spring to mind: You can’t always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you just might find you get what you need.

“The real life and spirit of this magical elf (精靈) lives forever in your heart, my heart, Mom’s heart and in the hearts and minds of   6  people who believe in the joy that giving to others brings. The real   7  of Father Christmas becomes what you can give rather what you get. Once you understand this and it becomes   8  of you, Father Christmas becomes even more exciting and more magical because you come to   9  the magic comes from you when Father Christmas lives in your heart. Do you understand what I am   10  to tell you?”

My heart was filled with pride and I’m sure my eyes were shining with   11 .” Of course, Dad. I want him to be in my heart, just like he’s in yours. I love you, Daddy. You’re the best Father Christmas who has   12  been in the whole world.”

When it comes time in my life to   13  the reality of Father Christmas to my children, I hope that I will be as eloquent (有口才) and   14  as my dad was the day I learned that the spirit of Father Christmas doesn’t wear a red   15 . And I hope they will accept me as I did that day. I’m sure they will.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing(縫紉)or reading.

After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”

One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible(可見(jiàn)的). Her window was clean!

Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing(批評(píng))her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.

That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings(缺點(diǎn))? Since then, whenever I wanted to judge(評(píng)判)someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly. 

1. The writer was surprised that______.

 A. the woman was sitting by her window

 B. the woman’s window was clean

 C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon

 D. the woman’s window was still terrible

2. “It dawned on me” probably means “_______”.

 A. I began to understand it                B. it cheered me up

 C. I knew it grew light                    D. it began to get dark

3.It’s clear that_______.

 A. the writer had never met the woman before

 B. the writer often washed the window

 C. they both worked as cleaners

 D. they lived in a small town

4. From the passage, we can learn that______.

 A. one shouldn’t criticize others very often

 B. one should often make his windows clean

 C. one must judge himself before he judges others

 D. one must look at others through his dirty windows
