      Being the head of a high school for many years, I grew tired of budget meetings, fundingcuts,
and many other administrative chores and started to dream of retirement. Sitting in trafficon a
weekday morning, I would find my mind wandering. I would imagine spending time withmy
grandchildren, quiet evenings with my wife, traveling, or rediscovering some great books. Itold
myself that I wouldn"t sign myself up for any committees, any classes, or anythingrequiring a
schedule.
     My first day of retirement came at last! I cooked a great breakfast for my wife and me,leisurely
read the paper, cleaned a bit of the house, and wrote a few letters to friends. On thesecond day,
I cooked breakfast, read the paper …On the third day, This is retirement? Itried to tell myself
that it was just the transition, that those golden moments were right roundthe corner, and that I
would enjoy them soon enough. But something was missing.
     A former colleague asked a favor. A group of students was going to Jamaica to work with 
children in the poorest neighbourhood. Would I interrupt my newfound "happiness" and returnto
the students, just this once? One trip. That"s all. My bags were packed and by the door.
     The trip was very inspiring. I was moved not only by the poverty I saw but also by thesense
of responsibility of the young people on the trip. When I returned home, I offered to workone day
a week with a local youth organization. The experience was so positive that I was soon volunteering
nearly full-time, working with students across North America to assist them in their voluntary work.
     Now,it seems, the tables have turned . Some days I am the teacher, other days I am the student.
These young people have reawakened my commitment to social justice issues by challenging me to
learn more about the situation in the world today, where people are still poorand suffer because of
greed, corruption and war. Most importantly, they have given me the opportunity to continue to
participate in helping to find solutions. In return, I help them do their charitable projects overseas. 
I"ve gone from running one school to helping oversee the construction of schools in twenty-one
countries!

     Dr. Sylvia Earle wants you to stop eating fish. It"s not because fish are endangered,though wild
fish stocks in many oceans are very low. It"s not because they"re bad for you, though fishin many
areas are exposed to poisonous substances in the water. It"s because they"re smart.
     "Fish are sensitive, they have personalities",says the marine biologist. For Earle, eating afish would
be like eating a dog or a cat. "I would never eat anyone I know personally."
     There"s a lot more to fish than meets the eye: they talk to each other, they like to betouched, and
they engage in behavior that can seem very human. They can remember thingsand learn from experience.
Earle and a growing number of animal rights activists see these asstrong arguments against eating fish
altogether.
     The activists also point out that fish feel pain and fish suffer horribly on their way from the sea to
the supermarket. "While it may seem obvious that fish are able to feel pain, likeevery other animal,
some people think of fish as swimming vegetables," says Dr. Lynne Sneddon. "Really,it"s kind of a
moral question. Is the enjoyment you get from fishing (oreating fish) more important than the pain of
the fish?"
      Fishermen and (fried) fish lovers are doubtful. "I"ve never seen a smart fish," says Marie Swaringen
as she finishes off a plate of fish at a Seattle seafood restaurant. "If they were verysmart, they wouldn"t
get caught. "
     "For years, everyone"s been telling us to eat fish because it"s so good for us," says another diner.
""Now I"ve got to feel guilty while I"m eating my fish? What are they going to think of next? Don"t eat
salad because cucumbers have feelings?"
1. Dr. Sylvia Earle discourage people from eating fish because.
A. there are not that many wild fish in the ocean
B. fish actually are sensitive and have personalities
C. some ocean fish contain poisonous substances
D. fish are like dogs or cats that people know personally
2. We can infer from the passage that      .
A. all people don"t agree with the idea to stop eating fish
B. people will be persuaded not to eat fish in the future
C. stopping eating fish will lead to people"s not eating vegetables
D. we shouldn"t care too much about the feeling of fish
3. By saying "There"s a lot more to fish than meets the eye, " the writer means.
A. there are far more fish than other animals in the world
B. there are more fish in the world than people can see
C. people can see more fish if they pay more attention
D. fish are not that simple as they appear to people"s eyes
4. What is the writer"s attitude towards people eating fish?
A. Neutral.
B. Indifferent.
C. Approving.
D. Opposed.

     My teacher Miss Benson was the kindest creature on the earth. I was going to marry her when I
grew up-  1    she would wait. I couldn"t bear to miss one precious moment of her presence by 
  2   the classroom. I always raised my hands when she called for volunteers to gather   3   and bring
them to her desk. That was the best chore of all. It made   4   getting near enough to her. I would
arrange and rearrange the papers until they were in perfect order.
     I started begging my mother to put extra fruit    5  my lunch. I was never brave enough to hand it
to Miss Benson directly, though. Each day the fruit was put unobserved on her desk. And the   6  
was always the same. She would come in and sit down. "How nice!" She would pick the fruit up, then
   7  the room. "What thoughtful little child brought me this?" No one claimed the honor, let alone me. "
  8  it be that I have a secret admirer?" she would ask. I would feel the red rising in my face, and I
would sigh with   9 when Miss Benson put the fruit away and started the lesson.
     One morning, the class was excited. The next day was Miss Benson"s birthday. My heart beat fast
I could give her something  10  . That afternoon was spent searching for wild flowers.  I found several
kinds.
     The next morning I hung back as others presented their gifts.   11 I went to the desk and gave the
flowers to Miss Benson. She was pleased, and held it to   12  cheek for a moment.
     The next Monday, Miss Benson was not in class. Then I was   13  to go to the headmaster"s office.
When I arrived, I saw my mother. On a table were my flowers.
     "Do you know   14  Miss Benson is today?" the headmaster asked. " 15  , sir," I answered.

     "They were poisonous!" He was angry. "How did you protect   18  when you picked them?"

     I begged my mother to take me to the hospital. Miss Benson was in bed when we arrived. "I didn"t

     A lot of us lose life"s tough battles by starting a frontal  attack - when a touch of humor might
well enable us to win. Consider the case of a young friend of mine, who was trapped in a traffic
jam on his way to work shortly after receiving a warning about being late for the job. Although
there was a good reason for Sam"s a being late - serious illness at home - he decided that this by
now-familiar excuse wouldn"t work any longer. His boss was probably already pacing up and dow
n preparing a dismissal speech.
     Yes, the boss was. Sam entered the office at 9:35. The place was as quiet as a locker room
(更衣室); everyone was hard at work. Sam"s boss came up to him. Suddenly, Sam smiled and
stretched out his hand. "How do you do!" he said. "I"m Sam Maynard. I"m applying for a job,
which, I understand, became available just 35 minutes ago. Does the early bird get the worm?"
     The room exploded in laughter. However, the boss clamped off a smile and walked back to
his office. Sam Maynard had saved his job - with the only tool that could win, a laugh.
     Humor is a most effective, yet frequently neglected, means of handling the difficult situations
in our lives. It can be used for patching up differences, apologizing, saying "no", criticizing, getting
the other fellow to do what you want without his losing face. For some jobs, it"s the only tool that
can succeed. It is a way to discuss subjects so sensitive that serious dialogue may start a quarrel.
For example, many believe that comedians  on television are doing more today for racial and
religious tolerance than people in any other field.
1. Why was Sam late for his job?
A. He was ill.                        
B. He was caught in a traffic jam.
C. He was busy applying for a new job.  
D. He got up late.
2. The underlined phrase "clamped off" in the third paragraph probably means __________.
A. burst into          
B. tried to set up  
C. tried to hold back    
D. gave out
3. Which of the following statements can we infer from the text?
A. Sam was supposed to come to his office at 8:30.
B. It wasn"t the first time that Sam came late for his work.
C. Humor is the most effective way of solving problems.
D. All people lose life"s battles for they are lacking in a sense of humor.
