完形填空。     It all started a year before when my daughter Suzanne and I were shopping in Sydney. In the window of
a sports shop I noticed a photo of a group of young people climbing the rock   1   in a canyon (峡谷). "That"s
what I"m going to do next   2  ," I said. Suzanne laughed. "Sure, Mum! Don"t forget you"re 65 years old!"
     I didn"t feel I was that age! I   3   a club and trained weekly. Each day I felt my physical energy   4   and,
along with it, my confidence (信心). Then Suzanne pointed out, "Ws good, but how can you clear away
the   5   of height?" "I"ve got it all worked out," I replied bravely. "We"re going to the indoor climbing centre."
     While I was going up the high wall, I was afraid to look down as if a terrible animal was after me. Some
time later, as I reached the ground, I sat down   6   on the floor. Later that night, as I lay in bed, I encouraged
myself, "You had climbed the wall! You will certainly make it!"
     We set off with our packages to the Grand Canyon. When we reached it, I found the canyon was a huge
black hole-far   7   than I had imagined. As the guide clipped (夹住) me onto the rope, my heart   8   double-time
and I wondered why I had got myself into this. Time lost all meaning   9   I pushed my body forward. Only
the strong rope kept me from  10  hope. I began to think it would never end when everyone had stopped. "This
is as far as we go, and we can climb out after a few steps," the guide said finally. Two and a half hours later,
we returned to the car park at last. I began to shake, one hard step after another.
     Getting onto the bus, I  11  into the seat I had left so confidently a lifetime before. Then, while I was in the
seat catching my breath, a feeling of great happiness spread  12  me. I had done it, at 66 years of age.

     Arnel Laparan grew up in Rosario. After his father died in 1970, five-year-old Amel had to work in a
small shop to help his family. The boy insisted on going to school and his mother finally sent him to a nearby
public school. "I was happy to study but my life became harder because I had to wake up earlier to do all my
jobs before I went to school," says Arnel. Worn down by all the work, he was ready to give up by the time
he reached the fifth grade. Then his teacher"s words changed his life and made him study harder.
     Arnel finished high school at the top of his class, received a scholarship (奖学金) from the Philippine
Normal University in Manila and got a degree in education in 1985. He took a job teaching math at a Manila
private school and did volunteer teaching at the school"s adult class in the evening. "The adults were from poor
families and had to work when they were very young," he explains. "It was touching to see how they tried to
get a high school education at their age."
     As time passed, he realized that helping needy students was his true calling. In 2004 he left his well-paid job
and retumed to Rosario. "My goal was to educate street children for free." He began holding classes under a
large tree. Slowly, more and more street children became interested in his teachirig. "I taught them the basics
of reading, writing and math," says Arnel. He worked harder, walking to nearby villages, where he would give
classes in parks or on playgrounds. To make ends meet, he began teaching children from rich families.
     In June this year Arnel borrowed a bicycle with a large sidecar from a neighbour. The sidecar holds a small
wooden desk, textbooks and school supplies, and a black- board set to the front bears Arnel"s words:"Education
can be found anywhere. It is a road to progress."
     The bicycle allows Arnel to visit faraway areas. He sets up an outdoor classroom and invites teenagers to
his class three days a week. Many of the children have been out of school for years. Amel also offers adult
education to help out-of-school young people learn high school lessons. He does not receive any money but
accepts school supplies and food for the students. He says, "I want to bring education to as many children and
adults as possible. Everyone should have a chance."
1. Who decided Arnel should go to school at first?
A. His mother.
B. He himself.
C. His teacher.
D. The govemment.
2. Why did Amel retum to his hometown to teach the street children?
A. Because there were no schools in his hometown.
B. Because he didn"t want to teach rich children only.
C. Because he considered it"s his duty to help the poor.
D. Because the country"s education should be improved.
3. How does Arnel make his living?
A. By serving rich families.
B. By accepting school supplies.
C. By receiving his family"s help.
D. By offering lessons for adults.
4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A.Teacher on Wheels
B. Classes for the Poor
C. Road to Progress
D. Students in the Street

     I grew up poor-living with my wonderful mother. We had little money, but plenty oflove and attention.
 I was   1   and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still afford a dream.
