I moved to a new neighborhood two months ago. In the house with a large 1 across the road lived a taxi driver, a single parent with two school-aged children. At the end of the day, he would 2 his taxi on the road. I 3 why he did not park it in the garage.
Then one day I learnt that he had another car in his garage. In the afternoon he would come home 4 work, leave his taxi and go out for his 5 affairs in his other car, not in his taxi. I felt it was 6 .
I was curious to see his personal car but did not make it until I 7 to be outside one evening two weeks 8 , when the garage door was 9 and he drove out in his “own” car: a Rolls-Royce（劳斯莱斯）! It shook me completely 10 I realized what that meant. You see, he was a taxi driver. But 11 inside, he saw himself as something else: a Rolls-Royce owner and a（n） 12 . He drove others in his taxi but himself and his children in his Rolls-Royce. The world looked at his taxi and 13 him a taxi driver. But for him, a taxi was just something he drove for a living. Rolls-Royce was something he drove for a (n）14.
 We go to bed every night and 15 every morning as parents or children, not as bankers, CEOs or professors. We go for a 16 as close friends or go for a vacation as a 17 . We love life as it is. Yet often, we base our entire happiness and success on how high we 18 the social ladder—how much bigger and better a 19 we have. And we ignore our Rolls-Royce, by keeping it dusty in our garage. We should focus more on 20 we are than what we do!

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully（欺负）others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?

A great French writer has said that we should help everyone as much as we can because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. About this, he told the following story.
An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. she tried her best to reach the side, but she couldn’t move at all. The poor ant got too tired but was still doing her best when a big bird saw her. With a pity, the bird threw a piece of wood. With it the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in grass she heard a man coming up. He was walking without shoes on his feet and carrying a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the bird, he wished to kill her, and he would certainly do so, but the ant bit(咬) him in one of his feet and at that moment the bird flew away at once. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than the bird herself that had saved her life.

小题2:Why could the bird fly away at once?| A．Because the bird could fly very fast. | | B．Because the man hurt his feet himself. | | C．Because the man didn’t want to kill her. | | D．Because the ant bit the man in one of his feet. |
小题3:The writer tells this story to show ____ _. | A．how brave the bird is | | B．even the small can help the great | | C．how an ant saved a bird | | D．how clever the ant is |

Another person’s enthusiasm was what set me moving toward the success I have achieved. That person was my stepmother.
I was nine years old when she entered our home in rural Virginia. My father __36__ me to her with these words: “ I would like you to meet the fellow who is __37__ for being the worst boy in this country and will probably start throwing rocks at you no __38__ than tomorrow morning.”
My stepmother walked over to me, __39__ my head slightly upward, and looked me right in the eye. Then she looked at my father and replied, “You are __40__. This is not the worst boy at all, __41__ the smartest one who hasn’t yet found an outlet(释放的途径) for his enthusiasm.
That statement began a(n) __42__ between us. No one had ever called me smart. My family and neighbors had built me up in my __43__ as a bad boy. My stepmother changed all that.
She changed many things. She __44__ my father to go to a dental school, from which he graduated with honors. She moved our family into the county seat, where my father’s career could be more __45__ and my brother and I could be better __46__.
When I turned fourteen, she bought me a secondhand __47__ and told me that she believed that I could become a writer. I knew her enthusiasm, I __48__ it, and I saw how it had improved our lives. I accepted her __49__ and began to write for local newspapers. I was doing the same kind of _ 50__ that great day I went to interview Andrew Carnegie and received the task which became my life’s work later. I wasn’t the __51__ beneficiary (受益者). My father became the __52__ man in town. My brother and stepbrothers became a physician, a dentist, a lawyer, and a college president.
What power _53__ has! When that power is released to support the certainty of one’s purpose and is __54__ strengthened by faith, it becomes an irresistible(不可抗拒的) force which poverty and temporary defeat can never __55__ .
You can communicate that power to anyone who needs it. This is probably the greatest work you can do with your enthusiasm.

I really love my job because I enjoy working with small children and like the challenges and awards from the job. I also think my work is important. There was a time when I thought I would never have that sort of career(职业)．
I wasn"t an excellent student because I didn"t do much schoolwork. In my final term I started thinking what I might do and found I didn"t have much to offer. I just accepted that I wasn"t the type to have a career.
I then found myself a job, looking after two little girls. It wasn"t too bad at first. But the problems began when I agreed to live in, so that I would be there if my boss had to go out for business in the evening. We agreed that if I had to work extra hours one week, she"d give me time off the next. But unfortunately, it didn"t often work out. I was getting extremely tired and fed up, because I had too many late nights and early morning with the children.
One Sunday, I was in the park with the children, and met Megan who used to go to school with me. I told her about my situation. She suggested that I should do a course and get a qualification(资格证书)if I wanted to work with children. I didn"t think I would be accepted because I didn"t take many exams in school. She persuaded me to phone the local college and they were really helpful. My experience counted for a lot and I got on a parttime course. I had to leave my job with the family, and got work helping out at a kindergarten.
Now I"ve got a fulltime job there. I shall always be thankful to Megan. I wish I had known earlier that you could have a career, even if you aren"t top of the class at school.
