On my first day in a college classroom,I felt like an overgrown child returning to civilization
(文明世界) after having been lost in the forest for thirty years.There I sat,__1__enough to be
a father to most of the students in the room,__2__unconfident enough to be their baby brother.
We were crowded elbow (肘部) to elbow,listening to a__3__
who looked even younger than the students.I felt uncomfortable and out of place as the
professor carefully__4__what she expected us to learn.As I listened,I couldn"t help but__5__of
my own oldest daughter who was now beginning her first year in__6__,just like me.I remembered
how hard I had tried to help build self-confidence in her and my other children.So why did I
suddenly feel like a scared__7__myself?When I walked out of that classroom,I had serious
__8__about my ability to make it__9__college.
Not until late that night did my thinking__10__.It was a long-distance__11__from my
daughter,my fellow college freshman (新生),that did the trick.She spoke on the phone about
the doubts,worries and anxieties she was__12__.She was certain that she"d never__13__at
college.How__14__her worries sounded.In my most confident parental__15__,I said,"Doing
your best is all the world__16__".The next day in class,those words still repeated in my head.
When the professor raised a__17__for the class,nobody,including me,__18__to answer.When
I looked around at the__19__and uncertainty on the young faces in that room,I knew__20__what
I had to do:my best.That"s all the world asks.So raised my hand,and the professor called my name.
I spoke.

Two traveling angels (天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family.
The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guestroom. Instead the angels
were given some space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the
older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the
older angel replied,"Things aren"t always what they seem."
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable
(好客的) farmer. After sharing a little food they had, the farmer and his wife let the angels
sleep in their bed where they could have a good night"s rest. When the sun came up the
next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk
had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, "How could this happen?"
"Why didn"t you watch out for the cow? The first family had everything, yet you watched
over his house," she accused (谴责). "The second family had little but was willing to share
everything, you didn"t help."
"Things aren"t always what they seem," the angel replied. "When we stayed in the
basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so
greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal the wall so he
wouldn"t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer"s bed, the angel of death came
for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. So things aren"t always
what they seem."
B. Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C. Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
D. Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
B. the rich people
C. the guests
D. the angels
B. the older angel treated the two families unfairly
C. the wealthy man gave them a bad place to live in
D. the angel of death took the cow away
B. Because she wanted to teach the younger angel a lesson.
C. Because she wanted to save the farmer"s wife.
D. Because she was sympathetic to the rich.
To save money, I __1_ flowers from several friends who had large magnolia (木兰) trees. Their __2_
flowers would make the church beautiful.
After the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding, I felt__3_ but satisfied this would be the best
wedding any bride had ever had!
The __4 _day arrived. Patsy"s fiancé (未婚夫) Tim walked with me to the church to do a final __5_ . When we opened the door, I almost6 . I saw all the beautiful white flowers were black.
An electrical storm during the night had__7_ the air conditioning system, and on that hot summer day,
the flowers had bent towards the ground. I __8_ , knowing I didn"t have time to gather more flowers.
Tim turned to me, "Can you get more flowers?"I mumbled (含糊地说), "Sure."
As I left the church, I saw some magnolia trees in the distance.
I__9_ the house with magnolia trees in its garden. I knocked on the door and an old man _10_ . When I stated my trouble, the man said, "I"d be happy to help you!"
He cut large_11 _for me. I said, "Sir, you"ve made the mother of a bride _12_ today."
He said, "You don"t understand what"s _13_ here. You see, my wife died on Monday. On Wednesday I _14_ her. On Friday my children left. This morning, I _15 _. For the last sixteen years, _16_ her health
got worse, she needed me. But now nobody needs me. Who needs a seventysixyearold wornout man? Nobody! About that time, you_17_ and said, "Sir, I need you.""
He _18_ , "Do you know what I was thinking when I handed you those magnolias?"
"No."
"I _19_ I"m needed."
Life is not the __20_ it"s supposed to be. The way you cope with it is what makes the difference.

"You love her,"my wife said. "I love you,"I 1 protested. "But you also love her."
The other woman was my 2 mother,a widow for 19 years,but my work and my three children
had made it 3 possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for
dinner and a 4 movie. "What"s wrong,are you OK?"she asked.
My mother is the woman who suspects a(an) 5 late night call or a surprise invitation is a sign of
bad news. "Just want to pass some time with you," I 6 responded. Two of us!" She thought about it
for a moment,then said OK.
That Friday after work,as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit 7 nervous. When arriving,I
noticed that she,too,was nervous about our 8 date. She smiled like an angel. "I told it to my friends
and they were 9 impressed,"she said,"They can"t wait to hear about our meeting."
We went to a restaurant. My mother took my 10 arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat
down,I had to read the menu. Her eyes were bad and could only read large 11 print. "I read the menu
when you were small,"she said. "Then it"s time that you should relax and let me return the 12 favor,"I
responded.
We had an agreeable conversation,nothing extraordinary but each other"s 13 life. We talked so much
that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house 14 later,she said,"I wish I could go out with you
again. I agreed 15 happily."
A few 16 days later my mother died of a serious heart attack. It 17 happened so suddenly that I
didn"t have a chance to do anything for her. At that moment I understood the importance of 18 saying
in time:"I LOVE YOU" and to give our loved ones the time that they 19 deserve.
Nothing in life is more important than your family. Give them the time they deserve,because these
things cannot be 20 put off till "some other time".

school gate and saw my new classroom and teachers,I thought I would have a new start.
The school life is very busy and exciting.There are many activities in our school,such as
Sports Meeting,Science Week,Art Week and so on.We all take an active part in them.I
have made many new friends and we often help and learn from each other in study.Our
teachers have taught us a lot.They not only teach us how to study but also teach us how to
be a useful person in society.They tell us which thing is worth doing.Habit is a second
nature.Our teachers often tell us to form a good habit.
People often say:There is no rule of learning.Now I feel it is true.The study now is far
more different than before.I often find there is something difficult to understand at once.
At this time,you must spend a lot of time studying by yourself or you won"t make progress.
Of course study is hard but when you make progress you"ll find it is interesting.
Our school is clean and beautiful.There are many trees and flowers around it.In order
to make our school more and more beautiful,we should try our best to keep it clean.
Today we are proud of Songpu.Tomorrow Songpu will be proud of us.
