Hands started going up. “It is a $20 bill, encashable(可兑现的) in international and national 2 .”replied one of the 3 who raised their hands.
The speaker continued, “I am going to give this $20 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He continued to crumple the 20 dollar bill using both his hands. He then 4 it and asked, “Who still wants it?” Still the hands were up in the air.
“Well,” he said, “what if I do this?” He dropped it on the 5 and started to step on it. He picked up the crumpled and 6 bill and said, “Now, who still wants it?”
7 went back into the air. “I think this bill is still 8 its value”, said a young man in an unsure 9 . “We can still use the bill to 10 goods worth 20 dollars,” said the other people.
“My friends, you have all learned a very 11 lesson in this exercise that we are just through with. You’ve 12 that I can crumple the $20 bill during the process as the effects can be seen clearly. 13 , no matter what I did to the piece of paper, you were 14 in your mind that my actions did not actually decrease its 15 . It was still worth $20.”
“Many times in our lives, we feel like as if we are 16 , crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are 17 ; but no matter what happened or what will happen, please 18 , you will never lose your value.” Values that you keep in your heart will always 19 you from a difficult situation.
Dirty or clean, crumpled or not, you are still priceless to those who love you. The worth of our lives comes, not in what we do or who we know, but by ...WHO WE ARE.” “You are 20 — don’t ever forget it.”

Let’s consider a mistake that one has made while trying to learn to drive. It is true that, for a beginner, it is common to make mistakes, but after doing something wrong once, twice or three times, it is quite impossible to make the same mistake a fourth time. Everyone tries their best in order to improve their skills and they will be very pleased to notice that these improvements really happen.
On the other hand, being successful in everything he does, one cannot know what failure means. He would always see only the best side of things and it would be difficult for him to face the difficulties to come in the future. Here we can mention the case of a very successful football player, who has known what fame (名声) is from the very beginning of his career. We have to admit that most of his luck originates from the great talent that he was born with. But some fellow players can also work to achieve the same thing because they make mistakes in their games and they learn from each mistake that they make.
In the end, we can say that one needs to make mistakes in life in order to better appreciate things. And at the same time, mistakes teach us how important it is to fight for something we wish for in life. Of course, moments of happiness will come in return when we see the changes or improvements.
小题1:The author mentions learning driving in the second paragraph to ______________.
| A．make a comparison |
| B．explain that learning is a slow process |
| C．show that driving is a very difficult skill |
| D．prove that success results from failure |
| A．He thinks they are lucky. | B．He is bored with them. |
| C．He wants to learn from them. | D．He believes their success is a bad thing. |
A． | B． | C． | D． |
Ever since I was young, I have loved professional wrestling（摔跤）. I woke up every Saturday to watch my favorite "Superstars." As I grew older, I got a lot of flak for watching this "fake" sport. My peers（同龄人） would laugh at me for following what was called a "man"s soap opera." So, I put my love for wrestling on the shelf. Like everyone else, I wanted to be associated with the cool clique. I yearned to be invited to the parties of the in-crowd and hang out with the popular kids. I became pretty successful. Although my Friday evenings were busy with parties, I would still wake up early Saturdays to watch wrestling. It wasn"t until freshman year that I realized I wasn"t being myself.
That year, I tried many new things and activities and made new friends. In my town, football was the sport, so I decided to play football, thinking it might give me a head start in popularity. The team started with 48 athletes. At the end, there were 14 of us left. I stuck it out not because I liked it, but because I am not a quitter. That long season taught me a lesson: I wasn"t a football player. More importantly, it taught me to be myself.
After that season, I went back to being a wrestling fan. I watched it religiously, no matter what insults were thrown my way. I came across a quote: "Don"t Dream It, Be It." When I read this, my friend Dan had the same idea I had.
"What if we build a wrestling ring（拳击场）?" we asked. We acquired the necessary wood and equipment for its construction. The following weekend, we met at his house. We saw our dream in a pile in his backyard. We worked from dawn to dusk to build our great establishment. By Sunday night, our mission was complete. Our hard work (combined with a little creativity) had paid off. We had a real ring. We decided to hold an "event." We practiced for hours, trying to improve every aspect of our wrestling ability. The date was May 24th. Our show had a start time of 9: 00 p.m. To our surprise, about one hundred family, friends and fans showed up to support us. It was the most important night of my life and a complete success. Since that time, we have held five shows with as many as two hundred and fifty people turning out. We continue to live this dream. We accomplished what we set out to do. We are now well known throughout school. When I walk down the halls, I am respected by my peers. Some are the same peers who ridiculed me for watching wrestling when I was younger. When they approach me, they often say, "Good match, Chris." I humbly say, "Thank you," knowing I did something I believed in.
As my senior year winds down, I"ll remember all of my high school memories. But what will stick out most is the memory that I did something I loved, despite what everyone said or thought. I accomplished my goal. I lived my dream.
小题1:What makes the writer different from the others is __________.
| A．the different sports he loves |
| B．the different clothes he wears and the different music he listens to |
| C．that he is younger than the others. |
| D．the different ideas he has |
| A．I practiced wrestling secretly in my spare time. |
| B．I put the clothes for wrestling on the shelf. |
| C．I decided to quit following wrestling. |
| D．I began not to watch wrestling on TV. |
| A．knew he couldn’t be a good football player | B．realized he was being himself |
| C．was still sociable | D．built a wrestling ring |
| A．play football there | B．make his dream realized |
| C．be a professional player | D．have parties there. |
| A．Optimistic | B．Pessimistic | C．Doubtful | D．Surprised |
One day a few years ago we had a guest of the uninvited variety. In fact, it was a bird, 1 a sparrow.
“What’s that?” I asked when I first heard the gentle thumping(重击声). “It sounds like Joe is outside playing basketball,” my wife, Anita, said. She 2 and listened more devotedly. “It’s coming from the 3 .” she said. “Maybe it’s one of the little kids.”
We rushed out the door. Jonathan, our youngest, was 4 to make trouble. “If he’s making holes in the wall again…” I said as I searched there. No children 5 . But there was that 6 again, coming from right up there.
And that’s when I 7 the sparrow. It was flying 8 just inches below the ceiling. It was 9 trying to get out, but couldn’t see that the way out wasn’t up, but down 10 the open door. So the bird continued 11 its wings and hitting its head against the 12 .
“Poor thing,” Anita said. “It must be 13 .”
“Well, maybe it’s because of us,” I said as I moved toward it. I tried to show the bird how to glide（滑翔） down to get outside, but that only seemed to 14 it more. “Why don’t we just 15 for a few minutes?” Anita suggested. “I’m sure he’ll 16 eventually.” So we went back into the house, where we continued to hear the ongoing 17 .Then suddenly, it was silent. We looked into the garage, and our uninvited guest was gone.
“See?” Anita said. “I told you he’d succeed.”
“Yeah,” I said. “But how many knocks on the head did it 18 him?”
I’ve thought about that little sparrow through the years. Just like that sparrow, we often meet situations we don’t know how to 19 . Born to go upward, we don’t even consider the possibility that something good might happen if we stop flapping（拍打）around and just glide 20 a little bit.

I suppose I was an enthusiastic reader of "literature" between the ages of nine and fourteen. I had enough time to be White Fang, Robinson Crusoe, and Bilbo Baggins and Jeeves. Of course there was room in the schoolboy"s imagination for some real historical figures: Scott of the Antarctic, all of the Vikings, and Benjamin Franklin were good friends of mine.
Then, in adolescence, I began a long search for strange and radical (激进的) ideas. I wanted to challenge my elders and betters, and shock my fellow students with amazing points of view. Of course, the only place to look was in books. I hunted out the longest titles and the authors with the funniest names; I searched the library for completely unread books. Then I found one which became my bible for the whole of 1982, it had a title composed of eleven long words and an author whose name I didn"t know how to pronounce. It was really thick and looked dead serious. Even better, it put forward a whole world-view that would take days to explain. Perfect. I took it out of the library three times, proud to see the date-stamps lined up on the empty library insert.
Later, I went to university. Expecting to spend long evenings in learned discussion with clever people, I started reading philosophy. For some reason I never found the deep-thinking intellectuals I hoped to meet. Anyway, I was ready to impress with my profound (深奥的) knowledge of post-structuralism, existentialism and situationism. These things are usually explained in rather short books, but they take a long time to get through. They were the end of my youthful reading.
Working life was hard to get used to after so much theory. It was the end of books for me. There didn"t seem to be much in books that would actually get things done. To do things you had to answer the telephone and work a computer. You had to travel about and speak to people who weren"t at all interested in philosophy. I didn"t stop reading, you can"t avoid that. I read all day. But no books came my way, only manuals (操作手册) and contracts and documents. Maybe most people satisfy their need for stories and ideas with TV and, to tell the truth, it was all I needed for ten years. In those days I only had a book "on the go" for the duration of aeroplane flights. At first I would come home and watch TV over dinner. Then, I moved the TV so I could watch it from bed. I even got a switch so I could turn it off without getting out of bed. Then, one fateful day, my TV broke and my landlady took it away.
My new TV is an extra circuit board (电路板) inside my computer. It"s on a desk in front of a working chair and I can"t see it from the bed. I still use it for the weather forecasts and it"s nice to have it on while I"m typing this… but what to do last thing at night? Well, have another go with books.
Now, I just like books. I have a pile of nice ones by my bed and I"m reading about six at the same time. I don"t want to be any of the characters. I don"t care if a thousand people have already read them. I don"t have to search through libraries. There are books everywhere and all of them have something to read in them. I have the strange feeling that they"ve been there all along, waiting for me to pick them up.
