完形填空     When I was a child, my mom liked to prepare food for dinner every now and then. And I remember
one night in   1 when she made dinner after a long, hard day at work.
     That Monday evening so long ago, my mom   2 a plate of eggs, sausage(香肠), and extremely burnt
toast in front of my dad. I remember   3 to see if dad noticed! 4 all my dad did was reach for his toast,
smile at my mom, and ask me how my day was   5 . I don"t remember what I told him that night, but I do
remember watching him   6 butter and jelly(果冻) on that toast and eat every   7 !
     When I got up from the   8 that evening, I remember hearing my mom   9   to my dad for burning the
toast. And I"ll never forget what he said: "Baby, I love   10   toast."
     Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy goodnight and I asked him if he   11   liked his burnt toast. He
  12   me in his arms and said, "Son, your mum put in a   13    day at work today and she"s very   14 .
Besides, a little burnt toast never   15    anyone!"
     Actually, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. We can"t be   16   at everything we do.
What I"ve learned over the years is that learning to accept   17    faults and choosing to celebrate each
other"s  18 is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting   19 .
     If you learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life as they are, you can  20   your
life to the fullest.

     A year after graduation, I was offered a position teaching a writing class.Teaching was a profession I
had never seriously considered, though several of my stories had been published.I accepted the job
without hesitation, as it would allow me to wear a tie and go by the name of Mr Davis.My father went by
the same name, and I liked to imagine people getting the two of us confused."Wait a minute," someone
might say, "are you talking about Mr Davis the retired man, or Mr Davis the respectable scholar？"
     The position was offered at the last minute, and I was given two weeks to prepare, a period I spent
searching for a briefcase (公文包) and standing before my fulllength mirror, repeating the words, "Hello,
class, I"m Mr Davis." Sometimes I would give myself an aggressive voice.Sometimes I would sound
experienced.But when the day eventually came, my nerves kicked in and the true Mr Davis was there.I
sounded not like a thoughtful professor, but rather a 12yearold boy.
     I arrived in the classroom with paper cards designed in the shape of maple leaves.I had cut them myself out of orange construction paper.I saw nine students along a long table.I handed out the cards, and the
students wrote down their names and fastened them to their breast pockets as I required.
     "All right then." I said. "Okay, here we go."Then I opened my briefcase and realized that I had never
thought beyond this moment.I had been thinking that the students would be the first to talk, offering their
thoughts and opinions on the events of the day.I had imagined that I would sit on the edge of the desk,
overlooking a forest of raised hands.Every student would shout to be heard, and I would knock on
something in order to silence them.I would yell, “Calm down, you"ll all get your turn.One at a time, one at a time！”
     A terrible silence ruled the room, and seeing no other options, I instructed the students to pull out their
notebooks and write a brief essay related to the theme of deep disappointment.
1. The author took the job to teach writing because _____.
A.he wanted to be respected
B.he had written some stories

2.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 2?
A.He would be aggressive in his first class.
B.He was wellprepared for his first class.
C.He got nervous upon the arrival of his first class.
D.He waited long for the arrival of his first class.
3.Before he started his class, the author asked the students to _____.
A.write down their suggestions on the paper cards
B.cut maple leaves out of the construction paper
C.cut some cards out of the construction paper
D.write down their names on the paper cards
4.What did the students do when the author started his class?
A.They began to talk.
B.They stayed silent.
C.They raised their hands.

                                                                     Stop Spam!
     When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends,
and colleagues.Now it seems that every time I check my email, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all.If we want email to continue to be useful,we need
specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
   If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certainly get much worse.
Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of emails  almost instantly.As more
and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual (个人的) email boxes are often
flooded with spam emails.Would people continue to use email if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
   This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well.Many spam emails contain computer
viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company.Companies rely on email for their employees
to communicate with each other.Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks,
and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively.Such a situation results in a loss of
productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks.These computer problems raise
production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
   For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam.Spammers should be
fined,and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people.Email is a tool which helps people all
over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

1. What does the underlined word"correspondence"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?

A. messages
B. ideas
C. connections
D. programs

2. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?

A. Companies rely on email for communications.
B. More people in the world communicate by email.
C. Many computer viruses contain spam emails.
D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.

3. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?

A. The business.
B. The advertiser.
C. The employee.
D. The consumer.

4. What is the purpose of the text?

A. To inform.
B. To educate.
C. To persuade.
D. To instruct.
