it caused inconvenience for me to go out, and sometimes it even created an awful atmosphere, so I 2 it
strongly.
On a rainy day a meteorologist (气象学家) I met was very 3 at my great anger caused by rain that
made a little inconvenience for me.
He asked, "Have you ever seen typhoon? Do you know what would happen to the world if there
were no typhoon?" I shook my head. I had no 4 of how overwhelming it was when it 5 everything
away in its way.
"Well, let me tell you," the meteorologist said. "Without it the 6 of fresh water will be more serious,
for it is a great 7 of water supply on earth, Without it, there would be a greater imbalance in the
distribution of 8 . The equatorial area that receives the most sunshine on earth 9 entirely on typhoon
to disperse(驱散)heat. Without typhoon the tropics would be even 10 while the frigid zones much
colder. As a result the temperate zones would 11 from the world..."
Ignorance made me 12 . I disliked wind only because it ruffled (吹乱) my hair. I hated rain merely
because I had to carry an umbrella. But I had no idea at all that typhoon-something much more violent,
something a thousand times more 13 than wind or rain-was a 14 to the existence of mankind.
15 no road on earth goes all the way on level ground, there"s no person in the world who can do
whatever he pleases. 16 as it is for people to guard against typhoon, it is advisable for a man to stop
17 for a moment before he complains. " 18 disappeared all together? What would the world become
then?" The 19 will keep him calm and lead him closer to truth---he will be better 20 of the world he
lives in.

Last year, I was waiting at the traffic lights on my way to work 1 my car was hit from behind. After pulling over, a(n) 2 young man admitted his fault and continued to apologize and explain 3 he had not been "in the moment" while driving. He told me that he had just been driven out of the apartment because of his 4 to pay the rent and that his 5 had just run out. I could 6 his true stress, and as he gave me his details and promised to find a way to pay for it, I tried to 7 him and told him not to worry too much.
When I got to work, my colleagues 8 me to get a quote quickly and were shocked to find that I had not collected his registration details. The same thing happened when I told my sister what had happened and she 9 told me not to let him get away with it. She knew that I had a small amount of money in the bank and was worried that I would not 10 damages (赔偿费).
11 everyone pressuring me to chase up damages, I was unsure of what to do. I decided to 12 a small second-hand car and reflect on my dilemma (进退两难的窘境). After about four months, it was coming up towards 13 and I started to think about how nervous this young man might be feeling, waiting for me to "sting" him, so I 14 made my decision and sent him this short message:
"Hi Joe,
A few weeks back you hit the 15 of my car. I have managed to pick up another car, so I have been able to get 16 . I want to let you know that I am not going to seek any payment from you. If in future you 17 help someone, that would be great. Wish you a wonderful Christmas and hope next year is better."
This young man was so 18 , and I felt that finally a weight had been 19 from my shoulders. If only I had trusted my own heart earlier, we both could have been 20 some unnecessary stress!

stand still, die," is one of Oliveira"s favorite phrases. He knows from experience what it means, as the
Portuguese film director has reached the age of 102 and is still active in his profession. Every year,
Oliveira shoots a film and is currently working on his next project. "You have to work, work, work in
order to forget that death is not far away," he said. When asked about his age, Oliveira said with some
humility: "It"s down to mother nature. It gave to me what it took from others."
Being both mentally and physically fit in old age is partly a matter of luck, but it also has something to
do with character. Not every white-haired person is wise and social skills, openness and the ability to
train the brain are essential for senior citizens.
Along with the architect Oscar Niemeyer (103), Nobel laureate Montalcini (101) and director Kurt
Maetzig (100), Oliveira is one of those people of whom it would be very wrong to think as members of
a listless elderly generation.
Another master in his profession is the architect Oscar Niemeyer. The 103-year-old Brazilian is best
known for his futuristic-looking (未来派的) buildings in Brasilia, but he also speaks out on behalf of the
poor. "The role of the architect is to struggle for a better world where we can develop a form of
architecture that serves everyone and not just a privileged few," said Niemeyer recently. He spends
almost every day working in his office in Copacabana, and even when he falls ill he keeps working on
ideas: After a gallbladder (胆囊) operation he composed a samba tune (桑巴舞曲) in the clinic.
Another man who could sing a song about age is 107-year-old Heesters. The Dutch-born opera
singer spent most of his life performing in Germany, where he still works. Recently Heesters said: "I want
to be at least 108-years-old." He also plans to keep performing. "Should I just sit at home and wait
until they come and pick me up?" Heesters has not given up trying to add to his tally of awards and is
looking for a "good stage role".
Italian scientist Rita Levi-Montalcini, who is 101-year-old and is still active in medical science, has
described the force that keeps driving her on: "Progress is created through imperfection." In 1986 she
and her lab colleague were awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine for their work on nerve growth factor. She"s convinced that humans grow on challenges.
With so many brilliant examples given, we can see clearly that age is no barrier to some high achievers.
B. Oliveira owes his long life to his mother"s help
C. being fit in old age is a matter of luck and character
D. social skills and wisdom are difficult for the senior
B. 5
C. 6
D. 7
means that he ________.
B. is waiting for people to pick him up
C. wants to sit or lie in comfort

C. How to Live to Be a Centenarian
D. Age, No Barrier to Some High Achievers
back on my career, I realize the road to becoming a CEO isn"t a straight, clearly clarified path. In fact, no
two paths are the same. But whether you want to be a boss one day or not, there"s a lot to learn from
how leaders rise to the top of successful companies.
As this series of stories shows, the paths to becoming a CEO may vary, but the people in that position
share the qualities of commitment, work ethic (守则) and a strong desire for building something new. And every CEO take risks along the way - putting your life savings on the line to start a software company or
leaving a big business to be one of the first employees at a startup.
I grew up in Minnesota, and learned how to be an entrepreneur (企业家) from my father, who has
run a small business for almost 30 years. I went to Georgetown University and tried a lot of business
activities in college with varying degrees of success. And I always had a dream job pattern: to walk to
work, work for myself and build something for consumers.
I"m only 29, so it"s been a quick ride to CEO.Out of college, I worked for AOL as a product
manager, then moved to Revolution Health and ran the consumer product team. In mid-2007 I left
Revolution Health and started LivingSocial with several other colleagues, where I became a CEO.
Career advice: Don"t figure out where you want to work, or even what industry you"d like to work at.
Figure out what makes you do so. What gives you a really big rush? Answer why you like things, not
what you like doing...and then apply it to your work life. Also, just because you"re graduating, don"t stop
learning. Read more books than you did in college. If you do, and they"re not, you"re really well-positioned to succeed in whatever you do.
B. The author thinks there is some easy way to become a CEO.
C. The author had an ambition of becoming a CEO in his childhood.
D. The author believes success stories of CEOs can be beneficial to everybody.
B. stay in the same business
C. have a strong sense of creativity
D. save every possible penny
B. His father had far-reaching influence on him.
C. His business activities at college ended up in more failure than success.
D. He used to run the consumer product team for AOL.

"You should have _14 with him. Give him a chance to tell his side of the story."
Miss Smith spoke to Mike and 15_ all about it. He was studying all day and 16 most of the night

and they did not know the way very well. They drove through a town until they found what they thought
was the road to Dorling,where their friends lived. But it soon became clear that they were not on the road
to Dorling at all. The road that they were on was getting narrower,and there were no other cars on it. The wind was blowing harder with every minute that passed.
They came to a small village .They drove past a church and then two houses without lights on. There
was nobody about to tell them where they were,or where the road went. Just then, Ben saw a telephone
box,twenty meters or so further on. While he walked back along the road to see if there was a name
outside the church,Susan telephoned their friends and told them that they were still on their way.
Their friends were just saying that the dinner was already getting rather cold,when Ben came back to
the telephone box,his head down against the wind. He said that there was a tree lying across the road, and
that the telephone lines were down. Susan heard nothing more from their friends about the dinner.
