题型:不详难度:来源:
In a national spelling contest in America,an 11-year-old girl was asked to spell a certain word. But with her  36 voice the judges were not sure whether she spelled the word with the letter A or E. They talked it over and  37 decided to simply ask her what she had said. By now, the girl knew she had  38 the word. But instead of lying,she told the truth that she had said the  39 letter—so she lost the contest.
As the girl walked off the  40 ,the entire audience stood to their feet clapping to applaud her
41 . Later,dozens of newspaper reporters wrote about this 11-year-old girl’s honesty,even when it  42 her the contest. But the fact is that she  43 the biggest contest that day: the contest of her   44  .
Probably the biggest test of our character and honesty is that we would do if we knew we would never get  45 .This young girl could easily have  46 and nobody would have known it but herself. But that’s just it: She would know she did wrong. It’s been said, “If you  47 , you make yourself cheap.” This young girl was strong and smart enough to prize her own  48 and character more than the prize from a spelling  49 . Her respect for herself was more important than any   50 others might give her for winning a contest. She knew she would have to live with herself and the  51 she made in that moment will have long-lasting influence.
It’s so true that the choices you make today  52 what you are tomorrow. Our children will  53 our behaviour much more than our advice. So if we want them to  54 to be honest,we must show them the way by being honest ourselves. Remember,our kids are  55 what we do and how we live even when we don’t think they see or know.

Once upon a time, there was a man who was so famous that everyone in his country knew him.
One day, the famous man was sitting in a restaurant with his sister. “It must be great to be famous. Everyone tries to please you, and you can do whatever you want to,” said his sister. “It’s quite the opposite sometimes, in fact. Because I’m famous, I can’t do what I want to,” he denied. “But look, we’re sitting at the best table and eating the best food. We couldn’t sit here and eat this if you weren’t famous,” said his sister. “I’ll show you what I mean,” said he.
The next day, the famous man picked up his sister and took her to another country. “I’m not at all famous here,” he said. “Let’s see how we get on.” Soon they found a restaurant, but it was very busy, so they had to queue. “This wouldn’t have happened if you were famous,” said his sister, but the famous man just smiled.
When they finally got a table, it took the waiter years to bring what they ordered. And the food supposed to be hot was cold, and the food supposed to be cold was hot! Eventually, the famous man couldn’t stand any more and asked to see the manager. “This food is awful. We had to wait an hour for a seat, and the service is also very poor. Look, even my spoon is dirty!”
Showing his horribly yellow teeth, the manager, smiling, said, “Well, that’s just bad luck for you.” 
“Don’t you know who I am?” asked the famous man.
“I’ve no idea,” replied the manager.
So the famous man and his sister ran away, without paying.

Chaplin, one of the greatest and funniest actors, was born in London in 1889. When a poor boy, he was often seen waiting outside the London theatres, hoping to get work in show business. He could sing and dance, and above all, he knew how to make people laugh. But he couldn’t get work and therefore wandered about the city streets.
Charlie Chaplin first acted when he was five. He broke into show business because his mother, a music-hall performer, lost her voice during the performance and had to leave the stage, and Charlie went on and sang a well-known song. Halfway through the song, a shower of money poured onto the stage. Charlie stopped singing and told audiences he would pick the money first and then finish the song. The audiences laughed. This was the first of millions of laughs in Charlie Chaplin’s fabulous(神话) career.
Twenty years later the same Chaplin became the greatest and best loved comedian in the world. His dream came true in the world. His dream came true in the end. Chaplin became world-famous and almost a king in the world of the film.
Even people who don’t understand English can enjoy Chaplin’s films because they are mostly silent. The equipment for adding sound to films had not yet been developed. The development of films with sound became a problem for Chaplin, as he was uncertain about making films with dialogues. Instead, he coninued to make films without dialogue, but he added music, which he wrote himself. It isn’t what he says that makes us laugh. His comedy doesn’t depend on words. It depends on little actions which mean the same thing to people the world over.
Chaplin lived most of his life in America and the last years in Switzerland, where he was buried at Christmas 1977, at the age of eighty-eight. There was sadness all over the world at the news of his death.
In his book, Chaplin tells us how to succeed in life. He says, “You have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret.”

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam   36 to begin in a few minutes. On their faces was   37 .This was their last exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they would get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt  38 and able to take   39  of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n)  40 task, as the professor had said they could bringeither books or notes they wanted, requesting, only  41 that they did not talk to each other during the test.
  42 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles appeared on the students’ faces as they   43  there were only five questions.
Three hours had passed before the professor began to  44 the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor  45  the class.
He looked at the worried faces before him, and then asked: “How many completed all five questions?”   46 a hand was raised.
“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 .”
The years have  55  the name of the professor, but not the lesson he taught.
