Notbad, a country flavor (特别的风味)".
18 we had something to our own taste. When we looked at the 19 , it was standing quietly at the

side, and I on the other side.
We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up
in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.
The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly.
A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another
space: happy and care-free.
But now...I don"t know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in
our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever he do something
wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there
is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As
I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me
company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still
on.
I thought to myself:"Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"
In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they
were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can"t stand his outrageous (蛮
横的)words:"I can"t throw you away, let alone these old papers!"
All the lights were off except father"s.
Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn"t know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never
showed any mercy or any moment of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep
and then tucking (帮助盖被子) me underneath the covers.
This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has
become his second nature.
The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe... With the key in hand, I was as nervous as I
had never been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.
I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love-it"s second to
none. | 1. Decide which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.

From that day on, William 15 singing at all hours. He sang only during his stage appearances. Some people
had an idea 16 he had changed, but others still had none, and continued believing him to be somewhat mad.
They wouldn"t have thought so 17 they had seen what William kept in his big suitcase. It was a large stone,
with a hand-carved message on it.
The message said: "Practice, my boy. Practice every second, for you never know when your 18 will
come."

and who I was taking. Although college was talked about, it was the least of my worries. When I was
graduating eighth grade and starting high school, my older brother was graduating twelfth grade and going
onto college. For my graduation, he gave me a card in which he wrote,"Enjoy your four years... they go by
fast." I remember not believing him then, but looking back... he was right. Those four years shaped who I
was as a person, pushed me to my limit and encouraged me to become an adult.
However, I was so completely absorbed in my junior and senior years of high school, that when someone
spoke of college I brushed it off. I wasn"t ready to leave my comfort zone of having all of my closest friends
together and knowing what every single day was going to be like. Studying was something I did only AFTER
I nailed my half-time dance performance. I knew my parents wanted me to go to college, so I told them I
would go to community college (社区学院) and I didn"t worry about my SAT (美国大学入学考试) scores.
When my senior year passed and everyone graduated and went off to their own colleges, I started to wish
I had done the same. My friends were living away, meeting new people, discovering new places, and I was
living at home and driving to and from class every day. It seemed exactly like high school. I hated it! I thought
college was supposed to be different! Why didn"t I take more time to research colleges and do the same? I
ended up loving college and wishing I had four years to enjoy the campus (大学校园) atmosphere instead of
two.
My advice to anyone thinking about attending college is to think about it very seriously and look into all of
your choices well ahead of time. Now I have graduated and I am working full time and I would do anything to
go back to my high school days for a second chance! | | 1. Why didn"t the author worry about his SAT scores? | A. He wanted to go to community college.

I`m saying this because I think I just found mine!
I had some work in Glasgow then. I was on a really 1 schedule, which meant I would have no time
for myself all day. I was having one of those days, when the train was completely 2 and the conversation
going on around me seemed to be particularly 3 . Besides, I had a bit of a headache. 4 quickly across
the station hall, I fished some 5 from my pocket. There was usually someone at the exit 6 the Big
Issue (a magazine that helps homeless folk earn a living).
7 the crowd parted ways at the bottom of the hall, I saw someone selling the Big Issue. She really
looked like she`d been sleeping 8 . Her clothes were 9 and she obviously hadn`t had a scrub up (擦洗)
for quite a while.
As I 10 the exit, I saw that she was 11 from side to side. At first I thought she was trying to keep
12 against the biting wind. But she wasn`t. She was moving in time to a 13 . I couldn"t hear her, but I
could see her lips moving.
When I got closer, I saw a white 14 hanging from her elbow and noticed that she had sunken eyes.
She was 15 , dirty and living on streets. I came closer and through the 16 of the traffic I could hear her
17 the immortal (不朽的) line,"…And I think to myself, what a wonderful world!".
I bought her last magazine for twice what I"d originally 18 . She thanked me, and 19 her belongings
and went tapping off along the pavement -still singing! So, I have my happy 20 for the day, and I think it
will stay with me a long,long time. | ( )1. A. enjoyable

numbing my soul. If I had never felt hopeless before, I felt hopeless then.
The car accident has left me unconscious. When 2 , I found both legs in casts (石膏). While I had
