完形填空。     There was a very special teacher who made a far -reaching difference in my life.
     Fall, 1959, the first day of class at Bethesda Chevy Chase High School was about to begin. "Who", I asked
a senior, "is Mrs. McNamara, my 10th grade English teacher?" He just   1   and said something about my being
in   2  . Soon, I understood what he meant. Mrs. McNamara had a pattern of   3   that she repeated again and
again. We would have a literature reading task for   4  . The next day, when we came to class, there would be
two or three topics on the blackboard   5   to the homework reading. We were   6   to write an in-class essay
about one of the topics. The following day, she would   7   the corrected and graded essays and each person
would be called   8   to stand in front of the class and to   9   hisher essay. The class were required to criticize
(评论) that essay  10  the grade of everyone in class would be reduced.
     The first time that I  11  her read-write-criticize method, I had not  12  to do the homework and had written
something without knowing what it meant.  13  the extreme embarrassment I suffered, standing before my
classmates,  14  myself. No one laughed at me, no one would be  15  enough, or foolish enough, to do that in
Mrs. McNamara"s class. The embarrassment came from  16  and along with it came a strong  17  not to let it
happen again.
     Mrs. McNamara kept all of our written work in files. It was easy to see the  18  in writing that had occurred.
What was not so easy to see was the inner transformation that had taken peace, at least for me. What Mrs.
McNamar  19  me to do was to see myself as others see me and, having done that, I could improve myself.
And  20 . Thank you, Mrs. McNamara.

     My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United
States. The rest of his family remained in Europe. When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become
another man, downhearted. Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear: if his only
son, my uncle, had to go to war, it would be cousin fighting against cousin.
     One day in 1918, my uncle Milton received his draft notice. My grandparents were very upset. But my
mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war. Realizing how
he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends, my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant
that they had a loved one in the service. All the little girls were delighted.
     The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded
the train. The band played and the crowd cheered. Although no one noticed, I"m sure my grandmother had a
tear in her eye for the only son. The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly
paused. Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station. There was a dead silence before
the doors opened and the men started to step out. Someone shouted, "The war is over." For a moment, nobody
moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers. The men lined up in two lines, walked
down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed
home. My mother said it was great day, but she was just a little disappointed that it didn"t last a tiny bit longer.
1. What the grandfather was most worried about was _____.
A. the spread of the world war
B. the safety of his living two cousins
C. a drop in his living standards
D. his relatives killing each other
2. The underlined phrase "draft notice" means "_____"
A. order for army service
B. train ticket for Europe
C. letter of rejection
D. note of warning
3. What did the "service pins"(in Para. 2)stand for in the dyes of the little girls?
A. Strength.
B. Courage.
C. Victory.
D. Honor.
4. Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?
A. Disappointing.
B. Unexpected.
C. Uncertain.
D. Inspiring.

     Eddie McKay, a once-forgotten pilot, is a subject of great interest to a group of history students in
Canada.
     It all started when Graham Broad, a professor at the University of Western Ontario, found McKay"s
name in a footnote in a book about university history. McKay was included in a list of university alumni
(校友) who had served during the First World War, but his name was unfamiliar to Broad, a specialist
in military history. Out of curiosity, Broad spent hours at the local archives (档案馆) in a fruitless search
for information on McKay. Tired and discouraged, he finally gave up. On his way out, Broad"s glance
happened to fall on an exhibiting case showing some old newspapers. His eye was drawn to an old picture
of a young man in a rugby uniform. As he read the words beside the picture, he experienced a thrilling
realization. "After looking for him all day, there he was, staring up at me out of the exhibiting case," said
Broad. Excited by the find, Broad asked his students to continue his search. They combed old newspapers
and other materials for clues. Gradually, a picture came into view.
     Captain Alfred Edwin McKay joined the British Royal Flying Corps in 1916. He downed ten enemy planes,
outlived his entire squadron (中队) as a WWI flyer, spent some time as a flying instructor in England, then
returned to the front, where he was eventually shot down over Belgium and killed in December 1917. But
there"s more to his story. "For a brief time in 1916 he was probably the most famous pilot in the world,"
says Broad. "He was credited with downing Oswald Boelcke, the most famous German pilot at the time."
Yet, in a letter home, McKay refused to take credit, saying that Boelcke had actually crashed into another
German plane.
     McKay"s war records were destroyed during a World War II air bombing on London-an explanation for
why he was all but forgotten.
     But now, thanks to the efforts of Broad and his students, a marker in McKay"s memory was placed on
the university grounds in November 2007. "I found my eyes filling with tears as I read the word "deceased"
(阵亡) next to his name," said Corey Everrett, a student who found a picture of Mckay in his uniform.
"This was such a simple example of the fact that he had been a student just like us, but instead of finishing
his time at Western, he chose to fight and die for his country."
1. What made Professor Broad continue his search for more information on McKay?
A. A uniform of McKay.
B. A footnote about McKay.
C. A book on McKay.
D. A picture of McKay.
2. What did the students find out about McKay?
A. He trained pilots for some time.
B. He lived longer than other pilots.
C. He died in the Second World War.
D. He was downed by the pilot Boelcke.
3. McKay"s flying documents were destroyed in _____.
A. Belgium
B. Germany
C. Canada
D. England
4. We can learn from the last paragraph that McKay _____.
A. preferred fight to his study
B. went to war before graduation
C. left a picture for Corey Everrett
D. set an example for his fellow students
5. What is the text mainly about?
A. The research into war history.
B. The finding of a forgotten hero.
C. The pilots of the two world wars.
D. The importance of military studies.

     A long time ago, Milton S. Hershey, the creator of the popular chocolate bars, was dipped in warm
chocolate. I know all about it. My grandfather was there!
     At nineteen, Hershey established a candy business in Philadelphia. Although it failed, he tried again
in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not content. He began
experimenting with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900. They were an instant
success. In 1903, Hershey built a factory.
     Hershey was usually pleasant and kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory,
he held high standards for all the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst
out when things didn"t go as he"d expected, and workers were fired for mistakes.
     My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats (大桶)
of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and
across the walkway. One day, Hershey was walking backward on the walkway while my grandfather
was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Bump. Clunk. Ker-plop! Hershey fell backward into the vat.
Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather froze in fear. Was he going to
lose his job?
     Hershey stood stiffly with his hands on his hips. Color rose in his face. He said something in a low
voice. Then he smiled. "It"s not your fault, son," he said. "I need to watch where I"m going." He put
some chocolate in his mouth. "Mmm, that"s good," he said. Everyone laughed. The tour continued, with
Hershey dripping chocolate as he went. And Grandfather kept his job.

     It was the first mow of winter-an exciting day for every, child but not for most tether. Up until now, 
I had been able to dress myself for recess (课间休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson,

days, many times in her long career, but I think struggled still remember this one.

was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At
least my hat and matching scarf were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss
Finlayson help me with my boots. In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be
able to put on own boots." I didn"t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of
confidence.
     I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do an the
work. After mush wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh,
worked the second one on too.

to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said, "These aren"t
my boots. you know." As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both
helpful and interested. Once they were off. I said, "They are my brother"s boots. My mother makes me
wear them, and I hate them!" Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I
wasn"t an annoying little girl. She pushed and shoved. less gently this time,and the boots were returned to
their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked,
"Now,where are your gloves?"
     I looked into her eyes and said. "I didn"t want to lose them. So I put them into the toes of my boots."
