Because my family were not going to be helpful, I decided I would look for one all by myself and not tell them about it till I’d got one.
I had seen an agency advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the 36 in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as  37 as if I were going on the stage. Finding the 38  quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office 39  me. The woman looked carefully at me 40 through her glasses, and then 41  me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather 42 ,She wondered why I was looking for this sort of 43  . I felt even more helpless, when she told me that it would be 44  to get a job without 45 .I wondered whether I ought to leave,  46  the telephone on her desk rang, I heard her say:“ 47  , I’ve got someone in the 48  at this very moment, who might 49  .” She wrote down a 50  , and held it out to me, saying: “Ring up this lady. She wants  a 51  immediately. In fact, you would have to start tomorrow by cooking a dinner for ten people.”
“Oh yes,” said I — 52  having cooked for more than four in my life. I 53  her again and again, and rushed out to the 54  telephone box. I collected my thoughts, took a deep breath, and rang the number. I said confidently that I was just what she was looking for.
I spent the next few hours 55  cook books.

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we've spent alive on earth. Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.
Recently I   36  about a little girl named Hope. After learning more about her life, I couldn't help but feel it was not by   37  , nor happenstance（意外事件）, that she had been named "Hope". The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity  38  in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others.  39   I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had. It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.
Hope was a twelve-year-old girl who was   40  a "wish" in early December 2010 by the "Make-A-Wish" Foundation after being   41  that she had a rare type of bone cancer. However, when she found out that more than 150   42  in her area were waiting for their wishes to be achieved , she unselfishly used her wish to   43  that those children have their wishes granted. She also asked that it be done   44  January 16, 2011. Unfortunately, however, the organization informed her that her   45  request could not be granted as the funds were simply   46 . They calculated that they would need to raise more than one   47  dollars in thirty days in order to grant her wish. 48 , but not discouraged, she turned her disappointment into an enthusiasm that inspired caring   49  to take up helping grant the wishes of the other children, and eventually   50   as well. Newspaper columnists and reporters for radio and TV stations 51   the story of this caring young girl who had   52  the hearts of so many and as word spread, the community was challenged. Committees were fanned and schools, corporations and various organizations assisted in  53  money to help make Hope's dream come true.
Her efforts were not in vain as they continue to help others, not only   54  , but spiritually and emotionally as well. At the gathering to celebrate her life, "A Celebration of Hope" on January 16, 2011 , the   55  was made that they had indeed received donations totaling more than one million dollars. Her wish had been granted!

As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.
On one particular day during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the 36, I realized I had locked my phone and my 37 inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the 38. So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and asked the man at the counter, who happened to be the 39, to call a taxi for me. After I 40 explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone while I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to 41 to my school at this point.
A moment later, the manager returned only to tell me that the line was 42, and that he had not been able to 43 the taxi yet. I think both 44 and fear could be seen in my face.
Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and 45 to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to 46 before the bell rang!
This experience made me 47 that out of every seemingly hopeless situation, there is the opportunity for acts of kindness to happen, which has an unimaginable influence on those who receive them.

“Yes, I’ll be ready at nine in the morning. Goodbye, dear, and thanks again.” It had not been an easy telephone call for Mrs. Robson to make. Her daughter had been very kind, of course, and had immediately agreed to pick her up and drive her to the station, but Mrs. Robson hated to admit that she needed help. Since her husband had died ten years before, she had always been proud of her independence. She had continued to live in their little house, alone.
On this evening, however, she was standing at her living-room window, staring out at the SOLD notice in the small front garden. Her feelings were mixed. Of course, she was sad at the thought of leaving the house, as it was full of so many memories. But at the same time she was looking forward to spending her last years near the sea, back in the little seaside town where she had been born. With the money from the sale of the house, she had bought a little apartment there. She turned from the living room window, and looked round at the walls. There was a small fish tank, with two goldfish in it. When asked why, her husband used to say, “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.” Since he had passed away, she had always kept some goldfish, had always had “something alive in the room.”
The next morning, as her train was pulling out of the station, Mrs. Robson called to her daughter, “Kate, you won’t forget to collect the goldfish, will you? The children will love them. It’s …” “I know,” Kate interrupted gently, “It’s nice to have something alive in the room.”

Education from My Father
My memories of my father are slim because he was so sick in the last years of his life. But there are   32  that I am often reminded of and which may have had some bearing on my love of   33 .
When I was small I was somewhat   34  of lightning and thunder. My father explained it. The explanation was in   35  that a child could understand but was basically correct. I gained a better   36  later, but I didn’t have to unlearn anything.
What he said was that there was electricity in the clouds   37  it traveled to the ground like a spark. When it traveled   38  the air it made the air so hot that it   39 . Then there was nothing where the air had been and the air all around rushed in to   40  the space. He clapped his hands together very loud,   41  to be the air rushing in, and said that makes the thunder. When I hear thunder, I can still hear that   42 .
He explained why if it was cloudy in the winter the night was warmer than if it was   43 . It was one of those nights when the sky was full of stars: no moon, no town lights. But there were more stars than you could   44  and they had color too. He said that if there were no clouds, we had no blankets and were   45  to the universe. Our warmth was going to   46  the whole universe. When there were clouds, they were like blankets and we were not exposed to the universe. I   47  feel on the edge of space on a very clear night.
I am sure there were many other lessons that I   48  but no longer remember. What I did 49 , in general, was that there were explanations and that the more I understood them, the more    comfortable the world was to live in. I was not taught that there were   50  but that there was understanding if you looked for it. This may be why I have always been   51  in science.

Have you ever been sad because of failure? Please remember, for often, achieving what you set out to do is not the most important thing.
A boy decided to dig a deep hole behind his house. As he was working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch. “What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors. “I want to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” the boy answered excitedly. The older boys began to laugh, telling him that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a while, the boy picked up a jar. He showed it to the visitors. It was full of all kinds of stones and insects. Then he said calmly and confidently, “Maybe I can’t finish digging all the way through the earth, but look at what I’ve found during this period!”
The boy’s goal was far too difficult, but it did cause him to go on. And that is what a goal is for — to cause us to move in the direction we have chosen, in other words, to cause us to keep working!
Not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end up with a success. Not every dream will come true. But when you fall short of your aim, maybe you can say, “Yes, but look what I’ve found along the way! There are so many wonderful things having come into my life because I tried to do something!” It is in the digging that life is lived. It is the unexpected joy on the journey that really makes sense.
小題1:The older boys laughed at the boy because he was thought to be         .
A．braveB．impoliteC．foolishD．warm-hearted
小題2:Why did the boy show the jar to the older boys?
A．To drive them away.
B．To show what he had found in digging.
C．To show how beautiful the jar was.
D．To attract them to join him in the work.
小題3:What can be learnt from the fourth paragraph of the text?
A．Not dream can come true.B．All work will end successfully.
C．Goals shouldn't be set too highD．Goals will make us work harder.
小題4:The best title for the text should be         .
A．Joy in the JourneyB．A Boy Dug a Hole
C．No Pains, No GainsD．Failure Is the Mother of Success
