At first the young man thought it easy to do it. Soon he 35 it difficult. Two hours later Edison went into his office and saw a lot of paper and books on his desk. Of course he couldn’t compute the volume in the time 36 .

举一反三
It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch office on the West Side. I had come to 36 a checking account. The only officer on 37 was a fortyish black man, standing 38 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I think I was especially 39 of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a 40 in a West Side bank.
The boy continued to 41 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and 42 an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I 43 any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.
“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not 44 to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.
Suddenly I noticed the account had a series of small deposits and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you 45 that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked 46 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very 47 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting 48 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come in here and 49 .” The boy looked destroyed. 50 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got 51 .” I couldn’t believe what this idiot was saying. “We were 52 this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The other guy was 53 him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was 54 too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) 55 today."
“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”
“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

The little boy turned to the old woman next to him, ‘‘Granny, are you sure I don’t have enough money?’’ She nodded. The little boy was still 36 the doll (洋娃娃) in his hand.
I walked toward him, 37 who he wished to give this doll to. “Sister. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring a doll to her.” I told him that maybe Santa Claus would do so. But he replied to me 38 . “No, Santa Claus(圣诞老人) can’t bring it to her 39 she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she 40 there. My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, 41 I thought she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.’’
The little boy looked 42 at me, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall. I 43 she didn’t have to leave me, but Daddy says that she has to go to be with my little sister.” Then he looked 44 at the doll with sad eyes.
I quickly 45 for my wallet. “Let’s check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll!” “OK. I hope I do have enough.” I added some of my money to 46 without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and 47 some spare money. “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” He looked at me and 48 , “I wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my Mommy, but I didn’t dare to ask God 49 too much. But He gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose. My mommy loves white roses.”
50 I remembered a local newspaper article two days ago, mentioning a drunk man in a truck hit a car 51 by a young woman and a little girl. The little girl 52 right away and the mother was 53 in a critical state.
Two days 54 this encounter (偶然相遇) with the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the young 55 had passed away.

Oprah Winfrey, the American media queen, is undoubtedly one of the most successful women in the world. She’s the host and owner of The Oprah Winfrey Show, which continuingly wins high ratings, and the founder of Harpo Productions, which produces her television shows and movies.
Certainly Winfrey feels right these days. Early on, however, Winfrey seemed more like a candidate for welfare rolls than film roles. She stayed with her grandmother after birth and moved to Wisconsin to live with her mother at 6, and hence began the most difficult period in her life. They lived in the low-income community and her mother showed her less attention. Her classmates came from families with more money and she couldn’t participate with them in a lot of activities.
The young girl had held too much anger and pain inside and she rebelled. She repeatedly ran away from home and got into various troubles. During that time, she turned heavy smoker, became addicted to alcohol and drug and was sent to a juvenile detention home(青少年拘留所) at the age of 13.
Fed up, Oprah’s mother sent her to Tennessee to live with her father. To a large extent, this man saved Oprah’s life and helped pave the way for her success. She received a full scholarship to Tennessee State University where she majored in Speech and Performing Arts. After graduation, she landed a job as a news reader at a television station, where she did not do well at first. But she did not give up; instead, she worked harder. She put in long hours and prepared carefully before going on camera.
Her hard work paid off: she moved up swiftly to news reader and reporter in Baltimore and was offered her own talk show in 1977. From then on, her career began to take off.
Some people are handed money at birth and are nurtured into success; other people create their own success, and Oprah Winfrey definitely belongs to the latter. “There is no such thing as failure in my life,” she concluded, “Life is a marathon. I think the ones who survive in life do it by hammering at it one day at a time.” Well, by doing so, she won the game.
小题1:By mentioning “Winfrey seemed more like a candidate for welfare rolls than film roles” in Paragraph 2, the author indicates that ______.
| A．she was interested in acting and applied for roles in many films, but failed. |
| B．she was more interested in working for charities than in films. |
| C．she lived a poor life and had to depend on the government for food. |
| D．the film companies wouldn’t offer her roles because she was too poor. |
| A．Her mother had no time to take good care of her. |
| B．Her classmates’ families were very rich. |
| C．She couldn’t take part in activities with her classmates. |
| D．She had too much anger and pain inside. |
| A．her hard childhood living with her grandmother. |
| B．her hard work and the spirit of not giving up. |
| C．her good performance in the juvenile detention home. |
| D．her major in Speech and Performing Arts in college. |
| A．Oprah Winfrey, from a problem girl to the American media queen. |
| B．Oprah Winfrey, from a news reader to a marathon winner. |
| C．Even famous people have a disgraceful past. |
| D．All that glitters is not gold. |
As we drove along, my spirits went up again, and I turned, with pleasure, to the thought of the new life which I was entering. But though it was not far past the middle of September, the heavy clouds and strong north-easterly wind combined to make the day extremely cold; and the journey seemed a very long one, so that it was nearly one o’clock before we reached the place of our destination. Yet when we entered the gateway, my heart failed me, and I wished it were a mile or two farther off. For the first time in my life I must stand alone: there was no retreating now. I must enter that house, and introduce myself among its strange people. But how was it to be done? True, I was near nineteen; but, thanks to the protecting care of my mother and sister, I well knew that many a girl of fifteen, or under, was gifted with a more womanly address, and greater ease and self-possession, than I was. Yet, anyway. I would do very well, after all; and the children, of course, I should soon be at ease with them.
"Be calm, be calm, whatever happens," I said within myself; and truly I was so fully occupied in steadying my nerves and keeping down the rebellious beat of my heart that when I was admitted into the hall and into the presence of Mrs. Bloomfield, I almost forgot to answer her polite greeting; and it afterwards struck me that the little I did say was spoken in the tone of one half-dead or half-asleep.
With due politeness, however, she showed me my bedroom, and left me there to take a little refreshment for a little while and led me into the dining-room. Some beefsteaks and potatoes were set before me; and while I dined upon these, she sat opposite, watching me (as I thought) and trying to keep something like a conversation— consisting chiefly of commonplace remarks. In fact, my attention was almost wholly absorbed in my dinner: not from appetite, but from the toughness of the beefsteaks, and the numbness of my hands.
“I have had so little time to attend to their education myself, but I think they are clever children, and very willing to learn, especially the little boy; he is, I think, the flower of the flock— a generous, noble-spirited boy, one to be led, but not driven, and remarkable for always speaking the truth.” “His sister Mary Ann will require watching,” continued she, “but she is a very good girl on the whole, though I wish her to be kept out of the nursery as much as possible, as she is now almost six years old, and might acquire bad habits from the nurses. I have ordered her bed to be placed in your room, and if you will be so kind as to look after her washing and dressing, and take charge of her clothes, she needs to have nothing further to do with the nursery maid.”
I replied I was quite willing to do so; and at that moment the children entered the room. Tom Bloomfield was a well-grown boy of seven. Mary was a tall girl, for her age of six, somewhat dark like her mother. The second sister was Fanny, a very pretty little girl, looking little younger than Mary. The remaining one was Harriet, a little broad, fat, merry, playful thing of scarcely two, whom I had more desire for than all the rest — but with her I had nothing to do.
小题1:Which of the following statements best describes how the writer felt when she entered Mrs. Bloomfield"s home?
| A．She was nervous, dissatisfied with her manners but still confident. |
| B．She was cold, hungry but eager to see all the children in the family. |
| C．She was frightened, nervous and regretful about her decision. |
| D．She was calm, confident and very happy with all the family. |
| A．A nursery maid. | B．A house cleaner. | C．A home cook. | D．A family teacher. |
| A．The writer had some difficulty with her lunch because of the tough food and the cold. |
| B．The delicious food took the writer"s attention away from Mrs. Bloomfield’s words. |
| C．All the children were well educated before the writer came to the family. |
| D．All the children in the family were looked after by Mrs Bloomfield herself. |
| A．Mrs Bloomfield would treat the writer kindly and help her a lot |
| B．The youngest girl Harriet would be the writer’s favorite student |
| C．the writer would take on more responsibilities than she should |
| D．Tom Bloomfield would be the cleverest of all the children |
She lives in a house with her cat Pebbles in a tiny Scottish town. Because of learning difficulties, she doesn’t have much education. But what she does have is a very good voice. As a kid, she sang in church and choirs and school plays. For a living, she sang at local pubs.
When she took the stage on April 10th her hair was untidy and her clothes seemed just one step up from rags. The audience laughed at her.
But then she opened her mouth. A few bars into the song and the laughing audience went silent. A beautiful voice was singing I Dreamed a Dream from the musical Les Miserables. Everyone was amazed. At the end of her song, the audience jumped to their feet and applauded wildly.
Almost overnight, Susan became a household name. She won fans and millions of admirers. Her online videos have drawn over 85.2 million hits.
Susan’s story proved the truth of an old saying: “Never judge the book by its cover.” Susan may look ordinary, and doesn’t have much dress sense, but she can certainly sing.
Susan’s fans admire her courage, as much as they do her voice. She has experienced mockery and many disappointments, but her love for music has kept her going, which is worth anyone’s respect.
