题型:不详难度:来源:
My eighth grade consisted of 28 classmates. We knew each other so well that most of us could distinguish each other"s handwriting at a glance. Although we grew up together, we still had class outcasts.From second grade on, a small group started harassing (***扰) two or three of the others.I was one of those two or three, though I didn"t know why.In most cases when children get picked on, they aren"t good at sports or they read too much or they wear the wrong clothes or they are of a different race.But in my class, we all read too much and didn"t know how to play sports.We had also been brought up to carefully respect each other"s race.This is what was so strange about my situation.Usually, people are made outcasts because they are in some way different from the larger group.But in my class, large differences did not exist.It was as if the outcasts were invented by the group out of a need for them.
The harassment came in the form of laughter when I talked, and rolled eyes when I turned around.If I was out on the playground and approached a group of people, they often fell silent.Sometimes, someone would not see me coming and I would catch the tail end of a joke at my expense.
There was another girl in our class who was perhaps even more rejected than I.She provided the group with a lot of material for jokes.One day one popular girl came up to me to show me something she said I wouldn"t want to miss.We walked to a comer of the playground.Three or four girls there were reading aloud from a small book, which I was told was the girl"s diary.
I sat down and, laughing till my sides hurt, heard my voice finally mixed with the others.Often being accepted by others is more satisfying than being accepted by oneself, even though the satisfaction does not last.Looking back, I wonder how I could have participated in making fun of this girl when I knew perfectly well how it felt.If I were in that situation today I would react differently, but I can"t honestly be sure.

I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.
When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.
Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.
To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”
I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.
小题1:Thousands of people came to the town to __________ at the Fair.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather   36   test. I didn’t know how   37  I had done but I knew there were things on   38   that I didn’t know.
I remember   39  waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales   40  my paper on my desk, I was    41   . There in big   42   numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I   43   my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44    that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45  the class. “The grades were not very good;    46  of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal (阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47  . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s   48   changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49   what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother    50   answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh (严厉的) judgment. My mother was always that   51   . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and    52     I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53   the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy(人生态度)has    54   me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55   and there are very few people on it.
