Five years ago, when it was time for my cousin to start college, my 75-year-old grandfather, Rex, decided to do the same. He went to 1 , taking classes twice a week until his death last summer.
As a student, my grandfather spent countless hours in his office 2 and completing assignments. Although he was twice as 3 as his professors, he loved going. He said,“You can never 4 too much, no matter how old you are.”He loved everything about school. Learning new things was truly his passion.
My grandfather’s will to learn was a great 5 for me to do my best in school. We were always 6 with each other, trying to bring home the better grade.
When he turned 80 and still had a full head of hair, my grandfather felt like he could take on the 7 . He felt like he could beat the unstoppable no matter what came in his way---whether it was his continuing with cancer 8 a tough professor.
Some people look to Superman or Batman as their 9 , but my grandfather will forever be my hero, the 10 who always came to my rescue. My grandfather was made the hall of fame(名人堂) at his high school as one of the school’s most successful football players. When I did some research I 11 that his nickname was Atlas. In Greek mythology(神话), Atlas held the heavens on his shoulders. For my grandfather’s football team, he was 12 Atlas, holding the team together. He was my Atlas too, as the foundation of our family.
In my times of need he was always there to 13 me and celebrate my accomplishments. I could count on him to help me out and stand by me. The strength he 14 with me will continue to hold me up as I forever keep his memory 15 in my heart and mind.

As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas 1 for her father.
She wished that he were as easy to 2 as her mother, who was always 3 with perfume (香水). Besides, shoping at this time of the year was a most 4 job. People 5 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost 6 you over in their hurry in order to find something cheap ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show . "They are real silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to 7 her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 8 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, 9 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father 10 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was 11 to please him.
When she got home, with her small but 12 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great 13 . "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so 14 that she could not 15 a single word.

When the children had gone on to other tasks, she __49__ at Douglas’ desk, bent down, and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and __50__, “It’s yours, teacher.”
She __51__ the times she had taken his hand and walked with him here and there, __52__ she had other student. How often had she said, “Take your hand, Douglas, we’ll go outside.” Or, “Let me show you how to hold your pencil.” Or, “Let’s do this together.” Douglas was most thankful for his teacher’s hand.
Brushing __53__ a tear, she went on with her work.
The story speaks of __54__ thankfulness. It says something about teachers teaching and parents parenting and friends showing friendship, and how much it means to the Douglases of the world. They might not always say thanks, but they’ll remember the hand that __55__.

When I was three years old, my parents discovered I was totally deaf. But instead of sending me to a school for the deaf, they decided to “mainstream” me. All of my peers and teachers world have normal hearing.
I was the only deaf child at Blue Creel Elementary School. From almost the first day there, the other kids made fun of me mainly because of my hearing aid and the way I talked. And I also had difficulty with most of my school work.
When the other kids made fun of me, I was sure that I was a bad person. I saw myself as a boy who wasn’t smart enough to keep up with the class.
Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.
One morning, she asked the class a question. I read her lips from my front-row seat and immediately raised my hand because I was sure I had the right answer. But when she called on me, I was afraid. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and show her I was worthy of her love. Maybe even impress my classmates a little. I didn’t want to blow it. despite my fears, I took a deep breath and answered Mrs. Jordan’s question.
I will never forget what happened next. Mrs. Jordan enthusiastically slammed （跺动）her right foot on the floor and turned her tight hand around in full circle until it pointed directly at me. With sparking eyes and a wide smile she cried, “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”
For the first time in my young life, I was a star. I sat a little taller in my chair.
From that day forward, my grades and speech improved greatly. My popularity among my peers increased. It was all because Mrs. Jordan believed in me and wasn’t afraid to express it. “THAT’S RIGHT STEPHEN!”
小题1:What does the underlined word “mainstream”(in Para 1) mean?| A．Encourage a disabled child to live a normal life. | | B．Include a disabled child in an ordinary class. | | C．Treat a disabled child with respect. | | D．Teach a disabled child at home. |
小题2:It can be inferred that when entering Blue Creek Elementary School, the writer .| A．was not clever | B．could not focus on his study | | C．lacked confidence | D．got along well with other kids |
小题3:When the writer answered Mrs. Jordan’s question, he .| A．trembled with fear | B．stayed calm | | C．was nervous | D．was excited |
小题4:From his experience, the writer may conclude that .| A．the right words could change someone’s life | | B．each of us has the courage to be great | | C．all great heroes made mistakes | | D．each day is a lucky day |
