While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to       his family.
First he moved to his youngest son as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug.       they separated, I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly and replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!”
Then the man stood up, gazed in the       of his oldest son and said, “You’re already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zach!” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug.
After several       , he turned to his wife and declared, “I’ve saved the best for last!” and      to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I       remember seeing.
For an instant they       me of newlyweds(新婚夫妇), but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment and gathered my courage to      ask, “Wow! How long have you been married?”
“Almost twelve years.” he replied,       breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man      turned and looked at me,. “Two whole days”
Two days? I was      . By the intensity of the greeting, I had       he’d been gone for at least several weeks — if not months. I know my expression      me. Hoping to stop our conversation politely and continue with my       for my friend, I said almost immediately, “I hope my        is still that passionate after twelve years!”
The man suddenly       smiling. He looked me straight in the eye, and with power that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a        person. He told me, “Don’t    , friend …decide!” Then with wonderful smile, he and his family turned and left together.
I was still watching that special family walk just out of sight when my friend        to me and asked, “What are you looking at?” Without      , and with a curious sense of certainty, I replied, “ My future!”

试题分析:文章大意:“我”去机场接朋友,看到一位男子下飞机后与家人相聚,他们才分开两天但见面时的热烈场景让“我”以为是分开了好长时间。原来这就是他们二十多年幸福婚姻的秘诀。“我”希望十多年后“我”的婚姻也是这样,而男子告诉“我”说,不要希望而是要去做。

My tire was flat. And I was on a country road. When I      with the tire, a car pulled off the road behind me. I saw a male      and said, “Hey, do you need any help?”
  I literally was     . This young guy was dressed in black. Nearly everything imaginable was tattooed(纹身). When he asked to give me a     , I      someone sitting in his car. That      me. Thoughts of robberies flashed through my mind.
Then, it began to     . It hit like a waterfall and made it      to finish the tire change. With the car jacked(千斤顶托起) up, I was      to get in my car. “Get in my car” he insisted, “We’ll wait with you until the rain stops.” “No. I don’t need your help.” I said. “Come on. Get in.” he said as he      my arm and pulled me toward his car. “Oh, God, protect me!” I      to myself.
As I settled into the back seat, suddenly a delicate      came from the front seat of the car. “Are you all right?” “Yes, I am,” I replied with much      seeing an old woman there. “My name is Beatrice and this is my neighbor John. John takes me to visit my husband in a nursing home every day. He is a really nice guy.”
“John, I had thought you were, well, ah, you know I…” Embarrassment      my words. John laughed, “I often experienced      reaction. I actually thought about changing the way I look.      then I saw it as an opportunity to see others.”
He was right. What he wore outside was just a      of the world as he saw it, but what he wore      was the spirit of giving and caring the world he wanted to see. I never believed that I should       people by the way they dressed. I was     with myself for what I did.
The rain stopped and John and I changed the tire. As we shook hands I apologized for my stupidity.

It was her giggling(咯咯的笑)that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
  Walking over to the offender, I asked for the    . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet     between teacher and student. When she finally    it over, she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.”
  It was a hand-drawn    of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
   I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,      , was working angrily as I struggled not to      . I figured I knew the two most likely candidates for drawing the picture. It would do them some    to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it!
  Thankfully, I was able to keep myself    .
  When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how    this was for me. I told them there must be a reason    and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I sniffed in the back of the classroom.
   As I    the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing against you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re    of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I    were behind the picture, had a list of issues. I was too    , too strict…
  Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of    my students, I had begun commanding them to    . Where I thought I was driving them to success, I was       driving them away.
  I had some apologies to make. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one    by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for      .
  This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the    .

This place was darker than I expected, and, in spite of the rain, dirtier. Used to the life of rural Puerto Rico(波多黎各), I had to adjust to the similarly arranged, aggressive two-dimensionality of New York. Everywhere I looked, my eyes met gray and brown straight-edged buildings with sharp corners and deep shadows. Every few blocks there was a cement(水泥) playground surrounded by chain-link fence.
A girl came out of the building next door, a jump rope in her hand, and she hopped over. “Are you Hispanic?” she asked. “No, I’m Puerto Rican.” “Same thing. Puerto Rican, Hispanic. That’s what we are here.” She skipped a tight circle, stopped abruptly, and shoved the rope in my direction. “Want a turn?”
“Sure.” I hopped on one leg, then the other. “So, if you’re Puerto Rican, they call you Hispanic?”
“Yeah. Anybody who speaks Spanish.”
I jumped a circle, as she had done, but faster. “You mean, if you speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic?”
“Well, yeah. No . . . I mean your parents have to be Puerto Rican or Cuban or something.”
“Okay, your parents are Cuban, let’s say, and you’re born here, but you don’t speak Spanish. Are you Hispanic?”
“I guess so,” she finally said. “It has to do with being from a Spanish country. I mean, you or your parents, like, even if you don’t speak Spanish, you’re Hispanic, you know?” She looked at me uncertainly. But I didn’t know. I’d always been Puerto Rican, and it hadn’t occurred to me that in New York I’d be someone else.
Later, I asked. “Are we Hispanics, Mami?” “Yes, because we speak Spanish.” “But a girl said you don’t have to speak the language to be Hispanic.” “What girl? Where did you meet a girl?” “Outside. She lives in the next building.” “Who said you could go out to the sidewalk? This isn"t Puerto Rico. Something could happen to you.”
I listened to Mami’s lecture with depressed eyes and the necessary respect. But inside, I quaked. Two days in New York, and I’d already become someone else. It wasn’t hard to imagine that greater dangers lay ahead.
