I was nine years old , walking down the cold , wet streets of Springfield , with a bag of magazines on my shoulder . On my    39     that day , I came to that Company finally , whose owner , Mr Rader , had always taken me there to ask his workers    40     they wanted any magazines .
Shaking off the     41    like a wet dog , I entered Mr Rader’s office . After a quick glance he     42    me over to the fire-place . Noticing the     43    in the top of my     44    , he said , “ Come with me !” pulling me into his pickup    45     . We pulled to a stop before a shoe store . Inside , a salesman    46     me with the finest pair of Oxfords I had    47     seen . I     48    about 10 feet tall when I got up    49     them . “ We’d like a pair of new socks too,” Mr Rader said .
Back in his office , Mr Rader took out a     50    , wrote something on it , and handed it to me . With    51     eyes , I read , “ Do to others as you would have them do to you .” He said affectionately (深情地), “Jimmy , I want you to    52     I love you”.
I said good-bye , and for the first time I    53     a flicker of hope that somehow things would be    54     . With people like Mr Rader in the world , there was hope , kindness and love , and that would always make a    55     .

解析

36  turn over把翻过来。作者看到的是一张卡片,卡片的一面注有地址,要想看到内容,得把它翻过来。
37 根据后文,Mr Rader在卡片上写的是送给作者的赠言。address地址;list目录;information消息,信息。
38 作者见到这张卡片,思绪又回到了从前。forward或ahead如指时间,应往后推。
39 根据下文提示可知,作者当时的工作是卖杂志,应来回沿街叫卖。
40 作者是卖杂志的,Mr Rader帮作者询问他的工人是否需要杂志。
41 根据第二段首句和空格后面的wet dog可推出答案。
42 作者是在Mr Rader的办公室,当时又冷又潮,故Mr Rader把他带到炉火旁取暖。
43 下文提到Mr Rader给作者买的是一双鞋和袜子,因此可推测作者的鞋子坏了。
44 根据下文Mr Rader给作者买的东西可推出答案。
45  pick up皮卡;一种小型货车。
46  dress给……穿衣服;show展示;comfort安慰;fit…with给……提供。服务员给我拿出了一双很好的鞋。
47  Mr Rader给作者买的鞋子是作者那时曾经见过的最好的鞋子。
48 这是作者当时曾经见过的最好的鞋子,又非常适合他,穿上一定感到比穿那双已经坏了的鞋要舒服很多。
49 本题考查在特定语境下使用介词的能力。in …穿着……。
50 根据第一段首句可得知答案。
51  Mr Rader给了作者无私的帮助,令作者非常感动。
52  admit承认;consider认为,考虑;express表达。如用这三个词与作者所要表达的感情不符。
53 作者当时的生活条件很差,九岁就沿街卖杂志,Mr Rader对他无私的帮助让他感到生活又充满了希望。
54 此处意思为:一切事情都会好起来的。
55 世界上有Mr Rader这样的好心人,就会有希望,生活就会出现转机,有所不同。

A few years ago, I was with a close woman friend in a grocery store in California.As we walked along the aisle (过道), we saw a mother with a small boy moving in the opposite direction and met us head-on (正面的) in each aisle.The woman barely noticed us because she was so angry with her little boy, who wanted to pull items off the lower shelves.As the mother became more and more annoyed, she started to yell at the child and several aisles later had progressed to shaking him by the arm. 
At this point my friend spoke up.A wonderful mother of three and founder of a progressive school, she had probably never once in her life treated any child so harshly(严厉地).I expected my friend would give this woman a solid mother-to-mother talk about controlling herself and about the effect this behavior has on a child.Instead, my friend said, “What a beautiful little boy.How old is he?” The woman answered cautiously, “He’s three.” My friend went on to comment on how curious he seemed and how her own three children were just like him in the grocery store, pulling things off shelves, so interested in all the wonderful colors and packages.“He seems so bright and intelligent,” my friend said.
The woman had the boy in her arms by now and a shy smile came upon her face.Gently brushing his hair out of his eyes, she said, “Yes, he’s very smart and curious, but sometimes he wears me out.” My friend responded sympathetically(表示同情地), “Yes, they can do that; they are so full of energy.”
As we walked away, I heard the mother speaking kindly to the boy about getting home and cooking his dinner.“We’ll have your favorite — macaroni(通心面) and cheese,” she told him.

旅行难道只能让人们享受美景放松心情吗?不,它还可以很有效果的降低犯罪率,这一点你相信吗?来看这篇文章吧
Americans think that travel is good for you, some even think it can help one of the country"s worst problems-crime (犯罪).     
Crime worries a lot of people. Every year, the number of crimes goes up and up. And many criminals (罪犯)are young. They often come from sad homes, with only one parent or no parents at all.
There are many young criminals in prison. But prison doesn"t change them. Six or seven in ten will go back to crime when they come out of prison.
One man, Bob Burton, thought of a new idea. In the old days, young men had to live a difficult life on the road. They learned to be strong and brave, and to help theft friends ill time of danger. This helped them to grow into men. So Bob Burton started" Vision Quest".
He takes young criminals on a long, long journey with horses and wagons(马车), 3,000 miles through seven states. They are on the road for more than a year.
The young people on Vision Quest all have bad problems. Most of them have already spent time in prison. This is their last chance. 
It"s hard work on the road. The work starts before the sun comes up. The boys and girls have to feed the horses. Some of them have never loved anyone before. But they can love their horse. That love can help them to a new life.
Not all the young people on Vision Quest will leave crime behind them. Three or four in ten will one day_____________. Bob Burton is right. Travel can be good for you. Even today. Americans still say, " Go west, young man."
