(Signed) Dr. Howard Kelly

“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students 47 restlessly(不安地) in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished one.” But the class remained 48 .
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want you to 50 you that, even although you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively common in everyday 52 . ” Then smiling, he 53 , “You will all pass this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 54 .”

Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38 things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to 41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly.

Being on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I hadn’t known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 .

Goldie’s Secret
She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Cornwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way, not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We’re moving house.’; "No space for her any more with the baby coming." "We never really wanted her, but what could we have done? She was a present." People find all sorts of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy, it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner’s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side, whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That’s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home, when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn’t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔) the four puppies (幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn’t know what had happened to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day, soon after the puppies were born, and she just disappeared." "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie, but I’ve got Nugget now, and she looks just like her mother. And I’ve learnt a good lesson: not to judge people.
小题1:How did the author feel about Goldie when Goldie came to the house?| A．Shocked. | B．Sympathetic. | C．Annoyed. | D．Upset. |
小题2:In her first few days at the author’s house, Goldie ______.| A．felt worried | B．was angry | C．ate a little | D．sat by the fire |
小题3:Goldie rushed off to a farmhouse one day because she ______.| A．saw her puppies | B．heard familiar barking | | C．wanted to leave the author | D．found her way to her old home |
