Once upon a time there was a prince who wanted to marry a princess, but she would have to be a real princess. He travelled all over the world to find one, but 36 could he get what he wanted. There were enough princesses, but it was 37 to find out whether they were real ones. There was always something about them that was not as it 38 be. So he came home again and was sad, 39 he would have liked very much to have a real princess.
One evening a terrible storm 40 ; there was thunder and lightning, and the rain poured down in torrents. Suddenly a knocking was 41 at the city gate, and the old king went to open it. It was a princess 42 out there in front of the gate. But, good gracious! what 43 the rain and the wind had 44 her look. The water ran down from her hair and clothes; it ran down into the toes of her shoes and out again at the heels. 45 she said that she was a real princess.
“Well, we"ll soon find that out.” 46 the old queen. But she said nothing, went into the bed-room, took all the bedding off the bedstead, and 47 a pea on the bottom; then she took twenty mattresses(床垫)and put 48 on the pea, and then twenty eiderdownbeds(鸭绒被)on top of the 49 .
On this the princess had to lie all night. In the morning she was asked 50 she had slept. "Oh, very badly!" said she. "I have 51 closed my eyes all night. Heaven only knows what was in the bed, but I was lying on something hard, 52 I am black and blue all over my body. It"s horrible!"
Now they knew that she was a real princess because she had 53 the pea right through the twenty mattresses and the twenty eider-down beds.
Nobody but a real princess could be as 54 as that.
So the prince took her for his wife, for now he knew that he had a real princess. And the pea was put in the museum, 55 it may still be seen, if no one has stolen it.

The Making of a Surgeon
How does a doctor recognize the point in time when he is finally a “surgeon”? As my year as chief resident(进修医生) drew to a close, I asked myself this question 36 more than one occasion.
The answer, I concluded, was 37 . When you can say to yourself, “There is no surgical patient I cannot treat competently, treat just 38 or better than any other surgeon” — then, and not until then, you are 39 a surgeon. I was 40 that point.
41 , for example, the emergency situations that we met almost every night. The first few months of the year I had 42 the ringing of the telephone. I knew it meant another critical decision to be 43 . Often, after I had told Walt or Larry what to do in a particular 44 , I’d have trouble getting back to sleep. I’d 45 all the facts of the case and, often, wonder 46 I had made a poor decision. More than once at two or three in the 47 , after lying awake for an hour, I’d get out of 48 , dress and drive to the hospital to see the patient myself. It was the only 49 I could find the 50 of mind I needed to relax.
Now, in the last month of my residency, 51 was no longer a problem. Sometimes I still couldn’t be sure of my decision, but I had learned to 52 this as a constant problem for a surgeon. I knew that with my knowledge and experience, any decision I’d made was bound to be a 53 one. It was a nice feeling.
This all sounds conceited(自负的) and I guess it is — 54 a surgeon needs conceit. He needs it to encourage him in trying moments when he’s bothered by the 55 and uncertainties that are part of the practice of medicine. He has to feel that he’s as good as and probably better than any other surgeon in the world. Call it conceit — call it self-confidence; whatever it was, I had it.
36. A. at B. in C. on D. for
37. A. self-service B. self-centered C. self-reliant D. self-confidence
38. A. as good as B. as well as C. as far as D. as long as
39. A. indeed B. maybe C. perhaps D. even
40. A. waiting B. standing C. lying D. nearing
41. A. Let B. Take C. Have D. Get
42. A. valued B. avoided C. feared D. enjoyed
43. A. made B. applied C. included D. developed
44. A. condition B. state C. occasion D. situation
45. A. retell B. review C. revise D. remind
46. A. if B. why C. how D. when
47. A. evening B. day C. morning D. afternoon
48. A. flat B. bed C. house D. apartment
49. A. means B. approach C. method D. way
50. A. peace B. trouble C. sorrow D. excitement
51. A. driving B. reviewing C. sleeping D. lying
52. A. expect B. accept C. respect D. inspect
53. A. critical B. poor C. sound D. difficult

Now as a mother myself, I"m anxious about the future, but I"m optimistic at the same time. I have the same concerns that my mother had for me and my brothers when we were growing up and going out into the world. The world it"s said has shrunk or become flat. We"re connected in ways we never were before. So how do we deal with these new challenges? Well, the other day I was speaking about my concerns for the future. And I said that I wanted to make sure that young people would work hard because we"re in competition with jobs. When I was sitting where you are now, I didn"t have to worry about competition from China or India. There were no global pressures like you will face as you mark your own way. And we need to get every young person to really get a sense of commitment and to work hard. Well, then my daughter said, "Mom I do work hard and my friends work hard." And I said, "I know that. I"m sorry, I didn"t mean to convey any impression that you don"t work hard. I just want to set the bar high because we are in a competition for the future."
You know, in 1999 when I was thinking of running for the Senate, I did not know what to do. I was really thinking hard because I had to make a decision. And there were a lot of things to consider. Obviously, no first lady had ever sought public office before. I had obviously never run for office before.
You know, often our most fearsome competitor is ourselves. We struggle with all of the internal doubts and anxieties, fears for the future, concerns for the world. Sometimes when I look at what"s happening in the world, it"s hard to imagine going out and doing anything of meaning. But we can do it and not only that, we must. America needs you to grab hold of this moment. So compete to do the best you can and help make our country the best it can be. So today, after you"ve accepted your diploma, but before you leave this place, please thank your family for guiding you to this moment. Thank your professors for showing you a new world. Thank your friends for exploring that world and finally remember what this day feels like. Cherish it always. Go for it. The world awaits you.
41.Who is most probably the speaker “I”?
A.a Chinese B.an Indian C.an American adult D.a university student
42.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

C.The speaker is always aware of what to do because she is a determined person.
D.The speaker is concerned about the future even though she is optimistic.
43.Why do you think the speaker urge the students to work harder?
A.Because the students are not really working hard at all.
B.Because they are faced with global competition on their way to their future.
C.Because only in this way can they afford to go to an expensive bar for a good drink.
D.Because their most fearsome competitors are themselves.
44.On the whole, the speech is ________ .
A.disappointing B.encouraging C.negative D.necessary
