Tom Brennan was working in a Philadelphia office building when he noticed a black bag. The bag contained a book.
This chance discovery ended a 12-day search by the Library Company of Philadelphia for a historical treasure-a 120-page diary kept 190 years ago by Deborah Logan,” a woman who knew everybody in her day,” James Green ,the librarian told the magazine American Libraries.
Most of the diary is a record of big events in Philadelphia. It also includes a description of British soldiers burning Washington D.C. in the war of 1812. She describes President James Madison on horseback as "perfectly shaking with fear “during the troubled days. George Washington, she writes, mistook her for the wife of a French man and praised her excellent English.
The adventure of the lost book began on September 4 when Cory Luxmoore arrived from England to deliver the diary of his ancestor(祖先)to the Library Company, which he and his wife considered to be the best home for the diary.
Green told American Libraries he had the diary in his possession “ about five minutes” when Luxmoore took it back because he had promised to show it to one other person. On returning to his hotel after showing the precious book to Green, Luxmoore was shocked to realize that he had left it in the taxi.
Without any delay, Green began calling every taxi company in the city, with no luck, "I've felt sick since then," Luxmoore told reporters.According to Green, no one has yet learned how the diary came to the office building .
Tom Brennan received a reward(獎勵)of 1,000, Philadelphia gained another treasure for its history , and Luxmoore told reporters, "It's wonderful news. I'm on high".

My friend John always has something to tell me. He knows so much that 21 men have to have older and more worldly wise men to tell them, 22 , who to trust, how to care for others and how to live life 23 the fullest.
Recently, John lost his 24 Janet. For eight years she fought against cancer, but in the end her sickness had the last 25 . One day John took out a folded piece of 26 from his wallet. He had found it, so he told me, when he 27 up some drawers at home.
It was a 28 love letter Janet had written. The note could look like a school girl’s scrawls(潦草地寫,亂涂) about her dream guy. 29 the letter was written by a woman who had had seven children, a woman who fought for her life and who 30 only had a few months left to live.
It was 31 a beautiful recipe (處方,食譜) for how to keep a marriage together. Janet’s 32 of her husband begins like this, “Loved me. Took care of me. Worried about me.”
“Helped me when I was ill.” The next 33 reads. After that she turned 34 the paper and added “Warmth. Humor. Kindness. Thoughtfulness.” And then she writes about the husband she has 35 with and loved most in her life. “ 36 there when I needed you.” The last words she wrote 37 all the others. I can see her for me when she added thoughtfully “Good friend.”
I stand beside John now, and cannot pretend to know how it feels to lose someone who is as close to 38 as Janet was to him. I need to 39 what he has to say much more than he needs to talk.
“John,” I ask. “How do you stick together with someone through 38 years—not to mention the sickness? How do I know 40 I can bear to stand by my wife’s side if she becomes sick one day?”
“You can.” he says quietly, “ If you love her enough, you can.”

二、完形填空(共20小題;每小題1. 5分,滿分30分)
Years ago, if a teenager had some problems in her life, she might go home and write in her diary. Now, a teenager with 16 problems might go onto the Internet and write about his problems in a blog. In many ways a diary and a blog are very 17 . So, what makes blogging different from writing in 18 diary?
The biggest difference is that blogging is much more 19 than a diary. Usually, a teenager treats his diary like a book full of 20 that she does not want to 21
It’s interesting that someone who writes in a blog 22 a diary will probably write nearly the same information.
I have a little sister, and sometimes I go online to read her 23 . She writes about things like waking up early for swimming practice and not studying enough for her chemistry test. 24 I was her age, I wrote about the same things, but 25 in my diary. Then, after I had finished writing, I would hide my diary in a secret place because I was 26 that my sister might read it!
The biggest 27 with blogging is that anyone can read what you write. If I was angry with a friend during high school and wrote something 28 about her in my diary, she would never know! 29, if my sister ever wrote something bad about a friend, that friend 30 read her blog and get a “cry”.
There are also 31 to blogging, of course. If I felt sad one day and wrote in my diary: “Nobody cares about me.” 32 would know about it. However, if my sister wrote the same sentence in her blog, her best friends would 33 respond(回應(yīng))and tell her how much they _34 her. Blogs help people 35 in contact with their friends and know what the people around them are doing.
