On my first day of the sixth grade, I noticed one little girl called Amy on the school bus. “Don’t __26__ her,” Lauren said, who sat beside me. “Or they will make fun of you.”
Amy had many __27__ differences — lots of reasons for other kids to make fun of her. Her eyes weren’t straight. Her glasses were an inch thick. And she had really ugly teeth.
Every day __28__ we drove to and from school, kids would shout insults (侮辱) at Amy. “God, what a (n) __29__ face! Stop looking at me!” “Mr. Rolland (the driver)! Amy took off her __30__, and now her eyes are __31__ me! Make her put them back on!” For a while I shouted my share of insults, just so I’d fit in (合群). __32__, I didn’t want them to treat me the same way they treated Amy.
But while I was insulting her, my heart __33__ for the girl. I could see that the insults were making her look __34__, because she was so ashamed (羞愧) and alone. Then I wanted to __35__ her. I just didn’t know how to stop my schoolmates __36__ the night of our class roller-skating party.
Our whole class was there, including Amy. Amy didn’t know how to __37__, but I could see how much she wanted to __38__ like the rest of us. So I skated over to her and took her by the hand; we began the journey together around the skating rink (溜冰场). She just smiled, and sometimes she would laugh in __39__.
On the school bus the next morning there was much news about Amy and me __40__ together, __41__ nobody insulted her or me. And they didn’t do that for the rest of the year.
After graduation, I never __42__ Amy again. However, I never forget her and I’ve always __43__ if I changed her life for the better. But I know for sure she changed my __44__. After becoming her friend, I no longer tried to impress (给……留下印象) people by trying to __45__ like them. I became myself.

答案
解析
26.从下文来看,对方是一个长相比较困难的女孩,所以还是不要接近她、和她交谈的为好,所以用talk to。
27.长相与众不同,应该用physical differences。
28.每天在一起坐车上学的途中,应该用while或者as,表示“当…时候”。
29.长相难看或者是“奇特”,所以用strange。
30.31,从上下文来看,Amy是戴着眼镜的。这里说话人向司机抱怨说她取下了自己的眼镜(glass),这件事情吓着(frightening)自己了。
32.上文讲作者也参与了辱骂,以显示自己的合群。毕竟(after all),自己不想让别人像对待Amy一样对待自己。
33.当自己辱骂对方的时候,自己的心为对方感到疼痛(ache)。
34.辱骂很显然让对方很生气,难过,所以面部表情变化,脸上更难看了(uglier)。
35.因为看到对方的伤心,所以想站起来支持(stand up for)对方。
36.not until的结构,作者直到晚上溜冰的时候才相出办法来阻止同学们辱骂Amy。
37.从下文来看,在溜冰场,Amy不知道怎么滑冰,所以用 skate。
38.作者应该看得出来女孩是多么的渴望能和大家一起开心的玩耍,所以用have fun。
39.有人能够交她怎么滑冰,很开心的一件事情啊,所以是开心的笑了,laugh in joy。
40.很显然第二天大家都在谈论作者和女孩一起滑冰的事情,所以用skating。
41.从下文来看,这一次没有人嘲笑作者和女孩了。表示转折。
42.毕业之后,再也没有收到女孩的信件了(hear from)。
43.从下文的if可以看出来,作者一直在想自己是否给她的生活带来转机呢?所以用wonder。
44.从下文来看有一点可以肯定的是,女孩改变了自己的生活。因为自己从那以后再也没有盲从别人了,这是生活上的转变。所以用life。
45.同上分析,作者没有像别人那样做事情。所以用act。

举一反三
Robinson was born in 1919. He lived in a time when rules controlled what African Americans could do. He was a top athlete, playing football, basketball and baseball. But playing for a major League team was off limits to Robinson because of his race.
Branch Rickey, president and manager of the Brooklyn Dodgers, signed (和……签约) Robinson in 1947. He believed that Robinson not only had the skills, but the courage to face the challenge of becoming modern baseball’s first black player.
It wasn’t easy. Robinson sometimes faced boos (嘘声) from fans. But he became a star, anyway. In 1962, he became the first African-American player chosen to enter the Baseball Hall of Fame. In 2005, he was awarded a Congressional Gold Medal, the highest award Congress can give to an American.
By breaking baseball’s color barrier (肤色障碍), Robinson opened the door for many to follow his footsteps, not only in baseball, but in other areas of life as well. After he stopped playing the game, Robinson worked as a manager for a coffee company. He wrote a newspaper column (专栏). He also started a bank.

Because neither she nor her husband smoked, Mrs. Trench was surprised to see cigarette ash on her doorstep as she entered the house. When she opened the living-room door, she was astonished to see a strange man fast 48 in an armchair! Taking care not to disturb him, Mrs. Trench left the house at once. She called a taxi and went 49 to the police station. When she got there, she lost no time to explain _____50 had happened and added that the man 51 have got into the house 52 an open window. Mrs. Trench returned home 53 a police car together with two policemen. But it was too late: the man had disappeared. Hurrying upstairs, she went to her dressing-table.

And this month the 78-year-old man, who earned his fortune by making a lot of sound investment in the stock market, took the place of Microsoft founder, Bill Gates, as the world’s richest man. Gates’ worth declined $1.5 billion to $55.5 billion in 33 days after the recent financial storm, according to Forbes Magazine.
Buffett, the only son of a stockbroker, was ready to think outside the box to develop his business from a very early age. At 8, he went to golf courses collecting and selling the used balls. At 11 when he sold soda pop door-to-door with a friend, the pair collected lids on streets to judge which flavor was the most popular.
As a paper boy during high school, Buffett delivered two competitor papers, so that even when customers canceled one of the subscriptions, he could still make a profit from the other. With his paper delivery savings, Buffett bought 162,000 square meters of farmland and collected rent. Young Buffett stepped into the stock market at 11 but earned only $5. The experience taught him one of the virtues in investing, patience.
After graduating from university, Buffett started his venture with stocks with his childhood earnings and money from friends. He researched the stocks and just bought those of solid companies that were undervalued and inexpensive at the time. By sticking to companies such as American Express and Coca-Cola, Buffett has become rich.
“Learning is important to Buffett’s success. He is a learning machine who can spend his entire day reading. He keeps learning from books, street smarts and investigation, from both success and failure. In this way, he over-achieved his aptitude (能力).” said Charlie Munger, his longtime business partner.

Dear Mr. Takashhi,
I am writing to apologize for any misunderstandings that occurred when I showed you around Beijing the other day. I noticed that you were a bit 31 when I put the business card you gave me in my 32 without looking at it. And 33 did not know why you kept making an OK sign and why you 34 so many things. After reading a magazine article, I know that Japanese people give out their business cards 35 they greet others and they would like others to look at their cards carefully. So I should have read your 36 before I put it in my pocket. And I also know why you bought so many things 37 . Because gift-giving is expected in Japan and on a trip, you must bring back lots of 38 . As for the OK sign, I now know it is a request for small change.
I feel very sorry for not having known these 39 habits earlier. I hope you can forgive me for all these misunderstandings. I hope 40 our next meeting will be happier.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hualing

We arrived in India last week, and the voyage was the worst experience of my entire life. I’m lucky to be alive!
The first part of the journey was terrible, because the ship hit bad weather almost as soon as we left Liverpool. But much, much worse was to come. Later, we were involved in a collision with another boat and we had to abandon ship!
We had been at sea for about two weeks and we were in the Mediterranean. There is now a canal between the Mediterranean and the Red Sea called the Suez Canal, which opened last year. Our boat stopped at Port Said, the Egyptian port at the entrance to the canal. I remember looking through the porthole of my cabin and wishing that I could go ashore and visit this fascinating place, but mummy had ordered that I was to stay in the cabin because I was feeling ill. “you must stay here for at least another two days.” I remember her saying. How wrong she would turn out to be! The ship left the port and headed towards the canal . I was alone in the cabin and I watched the port disappear into the distance. Suddenly there was a loud bang, followed by the most awful crunching(嘎吱的)sound, and the ship shook and turned slightly on its side.
There was an eerie silence for a moment, then people started shouting. Mummy came running into the cabin and told me that we had collided with another boat. She took my hand and we ran along the deck towards the lifeboats. There was a lot of shouting and people were running everywhere, but the crew were all acting calmly, helping people into the lifeboats and telling people not to panic.
Well, clearly we survived, as did all the passengers and crew of the ship. The other boat wasn’t so lucky. It sank and several lives were lost.
I will write about the rest of the journey soon. Please give my love to Aunt Claire and Uncle Eric.
Your loving cousin,
Jane
