题型：不详难度：来源：
Ieoh Ming Pei was born in Guangzhou, China on April 26, 1917. His father was a famous banker. In 1935, at the age of 17, he came to the United States to study architecture at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 1942, he entered the Harvard Graduate School of Design.
In 1964, Jacqueline Kennedy selected Pei to design the Kennedy library. After that he became well-known all of the world. People named it one of the Ten Best Buildings in the United States. In 1968, Pei started work on the East Wing of the National Gallery of Art, in Washington D.C.. Over one million people visited the building during its first 50 days in existence.
Following the East Wing project Pei"s fame has continued to grow widely. In 1983, French President commissioned(委任) Pei to help make the Louvre more modern. Ten years later, the completion of Pei’s glass pyramid at the Louvre created a new historic landmark for Paris. Pei described it as, "the greatest challenge and greatest accomplishment of my career." At Fragrant Hill, a 300-room hotel in the Chinese capital, Pei has attempted to bring to his native China his often-quoted "third way of making buildings." Avoiding both a complete copying of traditional Chinese motifs(特色) as well as the modernism of the West, Pei has managed, at Fragrant Hill, to make one of his most eloquent(有说服力的) statements.
Pei has designed nearly 50 projects in the United States and abroad. About half of these projects have won major awards. Pei has been awarded the highest honors from nations over the world. In 1990, Pei was awarded the Medal of Freedom by President George Bush for his contributions to world peace and service to the US government.

As I entered, I found a very old woman bent over a 22 near the door．Her back was so 23 twisted （扭曲） by some misfortune that her face nearly 24 the tabletop．1 sat down 25 her a couple of tables away．
"Poor woman," I thought．"What does she 26 life? Why does God let people live so long past their prime （盛年）?"
As I thought, another 27 lady entered the shop and sat down with her．Soon the two of them were 28 childhood days．They talked of how little the shop had changed in 70 years．In minutes, the two of them were shaking with 29 .
I looked again at the first woman, then in the 30 on a nearby wall, catching a picture of myself．I was wearing a dirty shirt．She was 31 dressed in white, her face carefully made up and her hands 32 with gold rings．I was 33 ．She was laughing．I was putting the 34 of my life together．She had millions of 35 memories to recall． 36 I was worried about getting old．She was old, but it wasn"t 37 her．As I left the shop, I thought of my 38 question about God letting people live past their prime．Why, that woman was more 39 to life than I was．Age has not 40 her spirit．

Eight students from No 2 Secondary School Attached to East China Normal University started a virtual（虚拟的）company selling different seeds and seed products. They successfully sold 28 pictures pasted with different seeds at a campus auction（拍卖）a week ago. The company, which has recruited around 20 student staff members, has earned over 2000 yuan in the past three months.
“We donated part of the money to a poor school in the countryside of Anhui Province. It"s great to realize our ideal of ‘spreading love and culture with seeds’ after many tests and lots of hard work，” said Senior 2 Shi Chen, CEO of the company.
Just like any other company, Shi"s didn"t develop smoothly. Shi and her young colleagues（同事）used to sell fresh flowers and old books, and later found seeds might be something that their company could engage in. They bought seeds of various plants and flowers at low prices from a local farm and sold them in schools or on streets. The creative students also made accessories and pictures with different seeds.
With little business knowledge, the students had to learn new skills as the leaders of different departments, such as public relations （PR）, sales and marketing. They persuaded a joint Sino-French company near their school to give them training in business management.
“They helped us overcome our shyness. We also learned quite a lot of business theory. I found communication skills and teamwork are very important for my job” said Senior 1 Qian Yifei.
The 16-year-old was elected as PR manager thanks to her talent for speaking. She is also in charge of after sales service, dealing with complaints and providing suggestions.
As the head of the company, CEO Shi has a lot more to think about. First of all, she has to learn how to make her colleagues work efficiently（高效地） as the company only opens at weekends due to all their studies.
“It makes the company more formal，” she said.

| D．To make her colleagues work efficiently. |
| A．the company is owned by 20 students. |

Roebling couldn’t 38 the vision in his mind of this bridge. He knew deep in his heart it could be done. He just had to 39 the dream with someone else. After much persuasion he managed to 40 his son Washington，a young engineer，that the bridge 41 could be built.
Working together，the father and son developed concepts of 42 it could be accomplished and how the difficulties could be 43 . With great 44 and inspiration，they hired their crew and began to build their dream bridge.
The project started well，but unfortunately an accident took the life of John. Washington was injured and left with a brain damage， 45 him not being able to walk or talk or even move.
Everyone had a 46 comment to make and felt the project should be trashed. In 47 of his disability，Washington still had a burning 48 to complete the bridge and his mind was still as 49 as ever.
He tried to pass on his 50 to some of his friends. Suddenly an idea 51 him as he lay in hospital. All he could do was move one finger and he decided to make the best 52 of it. By moving this，he slowly developed a code of communication with his wife. He used the method of tapping her arm to tell the engineers what to do. It seemed foolish 53 the project was under way again.
For 13 years Washington tapped out his instructions with his finger on his wife’s arm，until the Brooklyn Bridge was finally completed.
Perhaps this is one of the best examples of a never-say-die 54 that overcomes a terrible physical handicap and 55 an impossible goal.
