完形填空。     I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn"t like attention drawn to myself. 
And unless otherwise assigned(指定)a seat by the teacher, I always chose to sit at the__1__ of the 
classroom.
     All this__2__after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the 
basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy__3__because I didn"t have a good sense of balance,
 nor did I have the __4__in keeping pace with the others on the team and they would tease me. 
But for the teacher who kept insisting on my "__5__for it", I wouldn"t have decided to give it a try.
     Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the__6__of it! When I first started attending
 the practice sessions, I didn"t even know the rules of the game, much__7__what I was doing.

do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn"t know 
"just yet".
      I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the rules and the "moves". Being part of a team was 
fun and__11__. Very soon the competitive part in me was winning over my lack of__12__. With
 time, I learned how to play and made friends in the process. I never had so much fun!
      With my__13__self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone 
from "__14__" in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself,  to raising 
my hand  — even when I sometimes wasn"t 100 percent__15__I had the right answer. Now I have

阅读下面短文,按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求,在空格处填入一个适当的词或使用括号中词语的正确形式填空,并将答案填写在答题卷标号为1-10的相应位置上。     This Saturday morning I was having a walk around, enjoying the quiet morning, beautiful weather and lovely life, with my dog Jett running   _1_  (enjoy) beside me.  
     At one home I passed, I noticed a newspaper that    2__ (lie) by the roadside instead of near the door. Thinking I would make someone else"s life a little   _3__(easy), I picked up the paper and gently threw it towards their door.   _4__  instead of landing on the doorstep, the paper sailed    _5__   the wrong direction because of the strong wind and landed on the roof of a big truck in the driveway.  
     No one saw the funny scene but me and I burst out laughing. It was very quiet and they were probably still sleeping. It was too early to knock on the door and tell the homeowner  __6__ their newspaper was.   __7_  , instead I walked home, got dressed and went to the store to make it right.  
     I returned a little later with a new newspaper and a basket of strawberries freshly  _8__(pick) from my garden. I found the homeowner in the driveway with some of his friends. With a deep breath I came up to him and said, "I hope you have a great sense of humour." I explained what had happened to    _9__  newspaper.  
     Hearing this they all laughed loudly and I couldn"t help but smile all day. I"ve heard it said. "Character is what you do  _10 _  nobody is looking." I should be a man of character!

完形填空。     I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist proposed that the   1  
society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the
consumer society, I   3   hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.   3   the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson
was selling me the bicycle, he said, "This is the best thing you   4   have done. Life has become hopelessly   5  . A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you   6   things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise." I agreed.
Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I   7   at the other
end of the town. I was   8   that this simple vehicle could let me   9   long distances in a fairly short time.
But how   10   did I really go?
     Since I hated to be   11  , I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to   12   an odometer (里程表)
on my bicycle. He agreed, but   13  , "An odometer without a speedometer (速度计) is like a   14  
without a knife." I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (装置) were   15   to the
handlebars of my bicycle. "What about a horn?" he then asked. "Look, this horn is no larger than a
matchbox and has many   16  ." Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
     "You can"t leave the back part   17  ," noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons   18   the
seat, and said, "Is there anything better than this oven when you feel   19   on your way? I can give you a
special discount." I was not strong enough to   20   the offer.
      "I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done," said Mr. Johnson in the end.

     I began working in journalism when I was eight. It was my mother"s idea. She wanted me to "make
something" of myself, and decided I had better start young if I was to have any chance of keeping up with
the competition.
     With my load of magazines I headed toward Belleville Avenue. The crowds were there. There were
two gas stations on the corner of Belleville and Union. For several hours I made myself highly visible,
making sure everyone could see me and the heavy black letters on the bag that said THE SATURDAY
EVENING POST. When it was suppertime, I walked back home.
     " How many did you sell, my boy?" my mother asked.
     " None."
     " Where did you go?"
     " The corner of Belleville and Union Avenues."
     " What did you do?"
     " Stood on the corner waiting for somebody to buy a Saturday Evening Post."
     " You just stood there?"
     " Didn"t sell a single one."
     " My God, Russell!"
     Uncle Allen put in, " Well, I"ve decided to take the Post." I handed him a copy and he paid me a
nickel. It was the first nickel I earned.
     Afterwards my mother taught me how to be a salesman. I would have to ring doorbells, address
adults with self-confidence, and persuade them by saying that no one, no matter how poor, could afford
to be without the Saturday Evening Post in the home.
     One day, I told my mother I"d changed my mind. I didn"t want to make a success in the magazine
business.
     " If you think you can change your mind like this," she replied, " you"ll become a good-for-nothing."
She insisted that, as soon as school was over, I should start ringing doorbells, selling magazines.
Whenever I said no, she would scold me.
     My mother and I had fought this battle almost as long as I could remember. My mother, dissatisfied
with my father"s plain workman"s life, determined that I would not grow up like him and his people. But
never did she expect that, forty years later, such a successful journalist as me would go back to her
husband"s people for true life and love.
1. Why did the boy start his job young?
A. He wanted to be famous in the future.      
B. The job was quite easy for him.

2. From the dialogue between the boy and his mother, we learn that the mother was _______. 
A. excited          
B. interested          
C. ashamed            
D. disappointed
3. What did the mother do when the boy wanted to give up?
A. She forced him to continue.                
B. She punished him.
C. She gave him some money.                  
D. She changed her plan.
4. What does the underlined phrase "this battle"(last paragraph) refer to?
A. The war between the boy"s parents.      
B. The arguing between the boy and his mother.
C. The quarrel between the boy and his customers.
D. The fight between the boy and his father.
