题型：不详难度：来源：
In 1993 an unknown American called Clarence Nash went to see the filmmaker Walt Disney. He had an unusual voice and he wanted to work in Disney’s cartoon(动画片) film for children. When Walt Disney heard Nash’s voice, he said “Stop! That’s our duck!”
The duck was the now-famous Donald Duck, who first appeared in 1934 in the firm The Wise Little Hen. Donald lived in an old houseboat(水上住家) and wore his sailor jacket and hat. Later that year he became a star after an eight – minute Mickey Mouse film. The cinema audience liked him because he was lazy and greedy(贪婪的), and because he lost his temper (发脾气) very quickly. And they loved his voice when he became angry with Mickey’s eight nephews(侄子). Soon Donald was more popular than Mickey Mouse himself, probably because he wasn’t a goody-goody like Mickey.
In the 1930S, 40s and 50s Donald and his friends Mickey, Goofy and Pluto made hundreds of Disney cartoons. He also made educational films about the place of the USA in the world, and safety in the home. Then in 1966 Donald Duck and his voice disappeared – there were no more new cartoons.
Clarence Nash died in February, 1985. But today’s children can still see the old cartoons on television and hear that famous voice.

举一反三
Half a century ago, during the Sino-Japanese War, I was a student at National Southwest Associated University at Kunming in southern China, Lectures were often accompanied by the pitter-patter of rain on the tin roofs of the classrooms; that mud floors were full of holes; and wind blew through paneless windows. As for the library, it was a bare skeleton. A good reference  book was used for years and journals usually arrived after a couple of years’ delay.
But despite such hardship, I had the best of my student days in Kunming. Although we were short of research materials, we were uncompromising（坚定的）in our pursue of knowledge and truth. I spent six years at Southwest and obtained my first and second degrees in physics here. I still value those days fervently. In fact it was at Southwest that I first came across Reader’s Digest. To me, the magazine’s insistence on perfection both in style and accuracy—as well as its celebration of life even in the face of hardship—is similar to the values I learned at Southwest.
Later, I went to the United States to study under Enrich Ferimi, the famous physicist who directed the world’s first nuclear chain reaction. One of the first things Ferimi emphasized to me was that physics shouldn’t be so overwhelming（压倒性的）that it is beyond the average man. Physics research, he said, should be connected with our daily lives and physicists should devote most of their efforts to solving practical problems. I couldn’t agree more. Indeed, I think this simple, close-to-life.
Approach applies other attempts too. Reader’s Digest is highly informative, but it is easy to read, and easy to understand, never exaggerating or mystifying. This truthful, down-to earth quality is what I treasure now.
小题1:What is the author?| A．A soldier | B．A teacher | C．An editor | D．A physicist |
小题2: Which of the following is NOT true of the National Southwest Associated University?| A．The mud floors of the classrooms were uneven. | B．Its classroom windows had no glass. | | C．The only thing its library had was a skeleton. | | D．It was short of research materials. |
小题3: What was the first thing Ferimi emphasized to the author?| A．Physics research should be related to daily lives. | | B．Physics should not be considered as the most important course. | | C． Theoretical problems need solving first. | | D．The results of physics research could be used in the national defense. |
小题4: What does the author think of Reader’s Digest?| A．It is far from perfect in style or accuracy. | | B．It devotes its efforts to solving practical problems. | | C．It gives much information. | | D．Its language is simple, but beautifully written. |

Once an Englishman named Jack Brown went to Russia for a holiday. He stayed there for several months and then came home again. Some of his friends visited him a few days after he got back. “I had a very dangerous trip while I was in Russia.” Jack said to them. “I wanted to see a friend of mine in the country and the bad weather made me very late. So I was still travelling through a forest in sleigh<雪橇>when the sun went down. It was a long way fro m my friend’s house when about 20 wolves began to follow my sleigh. It was very dark in the forest. There was thick snow on the ground. It was cold, and there were no houses for miles and miles. First I heard the wolves, and the noise was terrible! The horses heard them, too. They were frightened and began running faster. Then I saw long, grey forms among the trees, and soon the wolves were near us. They were running very fast, and they didn’t seem to get tired like the horses.” “What did you do?” one of his friends asked. “When the wolves got very near,” Jack answered, “I put up my gun and shot the first wolf. The sleigh was moving about, but I hit the animal and killed it. Then all the other wolves stopped and ate it, so our sleigh got away from them for a few minutes.” “Then they finished their meal, and I heard them coming again. The moon was shining brightly on the snow, and after a few minutes I saw them among the trees once more. They came nearer again, and then I shot another of them, and the others stopped once more to eat it.” “The same thing happened again and again, and my horses became more and more tired and ran slower and slower until, after about two hours, only one wolf was still alive and following us.”
“Wasn’t it too fat to run?” one of his friends asked.

Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we 26 realize that those challenges are the very things that 27 us and make us who we are, it is the same with the challenges that come with 28 .
When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two 29 : we can try to 30 it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the 31 and call it quits. Although there are 32 times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most 33 all that is needed is commitment and 34 .
When we are devoted to 35 , it means that no matter how 36 or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to 37 it instead of running away from it. Communication is making a 38 for discussion and talking about how you feel instead of just saying what the other person did wrong. 39 you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.” 40 “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to  solve the problem much faster.
In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for 41 they are: small hurdles（障碍） you need to jump or 42 on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only 43 to make us stronger. It’s all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will 44 on all of this and say, “ 45 as it was, it made me who I a m today. And that is a good thing .”
