One day at the end of the class, a wise teacher told each of her students to 1 a plastic bag and a bag of potatoes to school.
The next day she told her students: “From today on, for every person you don"t like in your lives, you can choose a potato, write the person"s name and the date 2 it and then put it in the plastic bag.” Day after day, some of the students" bags were very 3 . They were then told to carry this bag with them everywhere they went for a week. They would put it inside their quilts 4 , on the seats when sitting in a car or on a bus , and next to their desks at school. The days carrying the bag around with them 5 students get to know what a weight they were carrying in their minds. They had to pay attention to it all the time 6 they wouldn"t forget it. As time passed by, the potatoes went bad and 7 nasty(恶心). They all tired to get rid of them.
Too often we think of tolerance（宽容）as a gift to 8 people, and it clearly is for ourselves! If we choose to keep our sadness and hatred（仇恨）in our 9 , we will have to
carry them around all our lives.

【主旨大意】本篇短文通过讲述一个有智慧的老师叫学生把生活中不喜欢的人名写在马铃薯上，日积月累，马铃薯变多了，且变坏了，从而让学生明白不要把别人的仇恨放在心上，在生活中要学会宽容。
小题1:由下文知，老师叫学生每人带一个塑料袋和一袋马铃薯到学校，因此用动词bring。
小题1: 由题意“把名字和日期写在马铃薯上”，因此用介词on。

举一反三
For years scientists have been arguing about whether nature or nurture (后天) decides what people will be like. Is it nature— what people are (41) with— that decides what they will be like? (42) is it nurture —what(43) to people when they are born —that decides what they will be like?
Scientists have been studying twins to (44) if they can find the answer, because twins start out with the (45) DNA. Sometimes twins don’t live together at birth and grow up in different (46) and different places— so the nature is the same for both, but the nurture is different.
When scientists (47) these twins in their later life, they some times find some surprising (48).
Jim Springer and Jim Lewis were adopted（收养）by two different families at birth. They first met each other again thirty-nine years (49) and discovered they had a lot in (50). Both had been (51) twice. Their first wives were both named Linda and their second wives were both named Betty!
Each twin had a son — one called his son James Alan and the (52) called his son James Alan, too. Their children each had a dog called “Toy”. They even arrived at their first (53) in the same color of car.
So far twin (54) seem to show that both nature and nurture are important. What we have from birth, and how and where we live help to build (55) we are.

The expression “down to earth” means being open and honest. It is easy to get on with some one who is down to earth. A down-to-earth person is the opposite of someone who acts important or proud.
Down-to-earth people could be important members of society. But they do not consider themselves to be better than others who are less important. A person who is filed with his own importance and pride is said to have his nose in the air.
Americans use another expression that is similar in some ways to down to earth. The expression is both feet on the ground. Someone with both feet on the ground is a person with a good understanding of reality（现实）. He may have dreams, but he does not allow them to have influence on his understanding of what is real.
The opposite kind of person is one who has his head in the clouds. Someone with his head in the clouds is a person whose mind is not on what is happening in real life. Such a person may be called a day－dreamer.
When we have both our feet on the ground, and when we are down to earth, we do not have our noses in the air. We act honestly and openly to others. Our lives are like the ground below us— solid(牢固的) and strong.
小题1:A down-to-earth person could be_____________.| A．social and proud | B．good and opposite | C．real and important | D．strong and changeable |
小题2:The expression “has one’s nose in the air” means_____________.小题3:This passage mainly talks about_____________.| A．the use of some expressions | B．dreams and achievements | | C．the lifestyle of honest people | D．honesty and understanding |
小题4:If you want to understand what is real in life, you have to_____________.| A．get along with other people easily | B．learn from those who are down to earth | | C．be a good dreamer with quick mind | D．have both your feet on the ground |
小题5:If you only consider your own importance, __________. | A．you’ll think you are better than others | | B．your life will be like the solid and strong ground | | C．you’ll be hated by down-to-earth people | | D．your life will be filed with love |

In my spoken English class, I asked the students about their university life. To my surprise, 小题1:. After their highly controlled(控制) high school lives, they were having difficulty getting used to (习惯) the free time in the university.

When you look at the sky at night, the moon looks bigger than the stars. Actually, the moon is much smaller than the stars and the sun. It’s much smaller than the earth. But the moon is much closer to us than any star. That is why it looks so big. If you hold a coin close to your eye, it looks big. If you look at it across the moon, it looks small.
The moon moves around the earth. It makes one trip in about four weeks. The moon looks flat to us. But it is a round ball, like the earth.
People once thought the moon had fire on it. They thought the fire made it bright. Now we know the moon is like a mirror. It gets its light from the sun.
Our sunlight comes from the sun, too. What is the sun? The sun is a star. The stars we can see have their own light. There are many big stars we cannot see. Their light had burned out. Others are still bright, but they are so far away that we cannot see them. The sun looks bigger and much brighter than other stars because it is the nearest of all stars. The sun and the other stars we see are very hot, but the air around us saves us from the heat of the sun.
The sun gives us light and warmth. It makes plants grow and turns leaves green. It makes life possible on our earth. It is a life giving star.
