When Julie was a child, she was a very big fan of animals. As a result, 36 she ever heard growing up was “Julie, you should be a vet. You’re going to be a great vet. That’s what you should do.” 37 when she got to the Ohio State University, she started studying to be a vet.
A scholarship allowed her to spend her 38 year studying abroad in Manchester, England. Away from the family 39 back home, she found herself one day sitting at her desk, surrounded by biology books and staring out the window, when it suddenly hit her: “I’m in total 40 . I don’t want to be a vet!”
41 she thought back over all the things she’d done in her life and what had made her happy. And then it hit her—it was all of the youth leadership conferences that she had volunteered 42 , and the communications and leadership courses she had taken as elective courses back at Ohio State. “How could I have been so 43 ? Here I am in my fourth year at school and just finally realizing I’m on the 44 path. I just never took the time to 45 it until now, ” she thought.
Inspired by her new 46 , Julie spent the rest of her year in England taking courses in communications and media studies. When 47 to Ohio State, she was eventually able to 48 the administration to let her create her own program in “leadership studies”, 49 it took her 2 years longer to finally graduate. She 50 to become a senior management consultant in leadership training and development for the Pentagon. She 51 founded a drug-prevention organization that 52 the message “Lead your own life with the skill and the 53 to say no.”
So, never live someone else’s 54 . If you limit your 55 only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want.

Some years ago I was offered a writing assignment that would require three months of travel through Europe. I had been abroad a couple of times，but I could hardly claim to know my way around the continent. Moreover, my knowledge of foreign languages was limited to a little college French.
I hesitated. How would I, unable to speak the language, totally unfamiliar with local geography or transportation systems, set up interviews and do research? It seemed impossible, and with considerable regret. I sat down to write a letter begging off. Halfway through, a thought ran through my mind： you can"t learn if you don"t try. So I accepted the assignment.
There were some bad moments. But by the time I had finished the trip I was an experienced traveler. And ever since，I have never hesitated to head for even the most remote of places，without guides or even advanced bookings, confident that somehow I will manage.
The point is that the new, the different, is almost scary by definition. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.
I"ve learned to ski at 40, and flown up the Rhine River in a balloon. And I know I"ll go on doing such things. It"s not because I"m braver or more daring than others. I"m not. But I"ll accept anxiety as another name for challenge and I believe I can accomplish wonders.
小题1:The author accepted the assignment because _____| A． he had never travelled abroad before | | B． he hardly knew any foreign languages | | C． he was familiar with any other country in Europe | | D． he would learn something new and different by trying |

小题3:We can infer from the text that the author is _____.| A．awkward | B．generous | C．stubborn | D．brave |
小题4:What"s the best title of the text?| A．An Interesting Trip Abroad | B．My First Writing Assignment | | C．Ready to Try and Challenge | D．How to Be Daring and Brave |

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 36 . On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam — then on to 37 and jobs.
Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 39 of the world.
The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 40 task. The professor had said they could bring 41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other, during the test.
43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they noted(注意到) there were only five essay-type questions.
Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 47 a hand was raised.
“How many answered four?” Still no hands.
“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly （不安地,慌张地）in their seats.
“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.
The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 50 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively(相对地,相当地) 52 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 53 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 54 .”
The years have 55 the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.

We arrived in Spain for the first time a few weeks ago. I decided to 31 a car because we had sold the one we had in England before 32 home. Yesterday the sales office rang us to say the car was 33 . I had tried out a model like it before, but as I was not yet 34 driving in this city, my wife did not want me to collect it 35 so we went together to 36 it. We paid for the car and 37 the papers. They told us that there was 38 petrol（汽油）to take us to a garage, where we could fill up.

"It’s such a problem to 45 to drive on the right side, isn’t it?" my wife said. "Yes, if only I had had a few lessons for 46 ," I replied. "You had better go 47 on the way home," my wife said. "You" d be sorry if you had 48 on the first day, wouldn" t you?" While we were talking, the man behind got out of his car and said in good English," Would you mind telling me 49 you are thinking of leaving? 50 are you going to sit in your car all day?"

Once Dr. Mellinkoff invited me to join him at the hospital to discuss interesting cases（案例， 病例） with his students．The case at hand was a Guatemalan man, aged 34, who had a fever and many other medical problems．His condition was not improving, and there was not much hope he would live．
Dr.: Mellinkoff asked to see the patient．He introduced himself in Spanish and, in a very gentle voice, asked how he felt．The patient smiled and said everything was all right．Then the doctor asked if he was able to eat．The patient said that he had no desire to eat．
"Are you getting food you like?"
The patient said nothing．
"Do you get the kind of food you have at home?"
The answer was no．
The doctor put his hand on the man"s shoulder and his voice was very soft．
"If you had food that you liked, would you eat it?"
"Yes, yes," the patient said．
The change in the patient"s appearance couldn"t have been more obvious．Nothing was said, but it was easy to tell that a message had been sent and had also been received．
Later, the doctor asked why the Guatemalan man wasn"t getting food he could eat．One of the students said, "We all know how difficult it is to get the kitchen to make special meals．"
"Suppose," the doctor replied, "you felt a certain medicine was absolutely necessary but that our hospital didn"t carry it, would you accept defeat or would you insist the hospital meet your request?"
"I would probably insist," the student said．
"Very well," the doctor said．"You might want to try the same method in the kitchen．It won"t be-easy, but I can help you．Meanwhile, let"s get some food inside this man as fast as possible, and stay with it．Or he"ll be killed by hunger．By the way, there must be someone among you who can speak Spanish．If we want to make real progress, we need to be able to talk with him．"
Three weeks later．Doctor Mellinkoff told me that the Guatemalan man had left the hospital under his own power．It takes more than medicine to help sick people; you also have to talk to them and make them comfortable．
小题1:The patient had no desire to eat because __________________.| A．he was not hungry | | B．he was seriously ill | | C．he was given special meals | | D．he was not satisfied with the food |
小题2:According to the passage, we can conclude that __________________.| A．the patient’s native language was Spanish | | B．the patient’s illness was caused by hunger | | C．Dr. Mellinkoff performed an operation on the patient | | D．the hospital failed to provide the right medicine for the patient |
小题3:Which of the following words can be used to describe Dr. Mellinkoff?| A．Cold. | B．Considerate. | C．Curious. | D．Careless. |
小题4:What do you think Dr. Mellinkoff wanted to tell his students in this case?| A．Doctors should be good at foreign languages. | | B．Doctors should know their patients’ real problems. | | C．Doctors should try to improve their medical skills. | | D．Doctors should have a good relationship with their patients. |

We were driving along the village of Simdara. I 36 to my right and saw an old shelter 20 meters from the side of the road that appeared to be filled with 37 .
“Would you mind 38 ?” I asked the driver Waris. “I think there is a(n) 39 .”
Waris laughed. “No, Greg, that’s actually a public toilet,” explained Waris and he kept 40 .
“But why are there so many kids? What are they doing there? We need to 41 ,” I insisted. The word caught Waris 42 and he stopped the car.
When we reached the shelter, to my surprise, it was 43 a toilet—or at least it had been at one time. The roof was gone now, and the four toilet pits (坑) had been 44 with old boards. There were 25 children between 4 and 5 years old, one 45 , and a wooden board against the wall.
Though having a tough learning environment, the students are quite 46 to chat with us about their class and curriculum (课程). After about ten minutes, the teacher 47 if we might like to see “the rest of the school”. We 48 and followed her up the hill.
Just over the top of the hill, there was an old tent. It was very 49 inside because nearly 100 students were packed like sardines (沙丁鱼). These students were a little 50 , fourth-, and sixth-graders, and all of them were sitting on the ground. 51 the teacher, they were doing extremely well — 52 most of them had no books, paper or even pencils.
We were forced to 53 to catch our plane. We were all 54 and decided to collect money to build a school for these children who had a hunger for 55 .
