Towards the end of the baseball game, a controversial call was given. At full speed Paul Harvey slid home (本垒)and, thinking he had just ___1___ a game-changing run, he stood up only to face the words, "You"re ___2___!" Angry, he threw off his helmet and ran over to explain to the ___3___ why the call was wrong. Before his ___4___ really got out of control, someone pulled him away, and he walked to the bench— ___5___. Long after the coaches, players, and fans had gone home, he realized the impact of his ___6___. Like most of us do when we are faced with the __7___ of our actions, he could have just let it go, reasoning, "Everybody ___8___ it." However, in the silence of his heart, he knew that just ___9___ everyone else does it, that doesn"t make it all right. And so, long after his friends had gone home, he ___10___ that coach back up to the school-not to ___11___ his car. No, the boy tracked this man down so he could tell him face to face, "I"m sorry, Sir. It was all my___12___." It takes true courage to stand up to face the ___13___ we all make and say, "I was wrong. I"m sorry." What makes this ___14___ unique is that it wasn"t meant for the world to ___15___, it was meant simply as a way to stay ___16___ to his own heart. The truth is at one time or another we have all been this boy —___17___ out in anger, saying hurtful things, and feeling ___18___ for doing so. But the real test comes later when we are ___19___ with the choice to say "sorry" or to walk away thinking, "Ah, they"ll get over it." Maybe the "they" is a customer, a friend, or a child. Whoever it is, don"t pass up the opportunity to get right with your own heart. The time for apology is now! Courage is a ___20___ of the heart. |

In later years, the great playwright remembered only a cruel, angry father, forced by business defeats to move the family to an old farm outside Skien, Norway. Ibsen"s mother, no longer welcomed in the homes of her wealthy friends, started to suffer from depression. At sixteen, the young Ibsen left home, working as an appretice(学徒)in Gerimstad. Failure, for Ibsen, became a way of life. Catalina, his first literary attempt, was impossible to sell. The privately printed book was eventually sold as packing paper to a grocer. Ibsen sought admission to the university in Oslo but failed the entrance examinations. He tried a career as a journalist, without success. As a stage manager, first in Bergen, then in Oslo, he did better, but lost the latter job when the theater closed down. The experience was not altogether wasted. At Bergen, Ibsen"s agreement required him to provide one new play each year, and although none of the five he produced was well received, the requirment forced him to learn the techniques of his trade. In 1864, Ibsen took his wife and baby son to Rome, Italy, where they spent five years living in poor conditions. On the edge of starvation, he wrote Brand, dealing with the subject he knew best: failure. Six months after he sent Brand to Danish publishers, his fortune had changed completely. The play was brought out in March, 1866, becoming an immediate success. With Brand and Peer Gynt, written in the same period, Ibsen won recognition at last. Awarded an annual fixed payment and the title of national poet by Norway, he dropped his shabby clothes and became a well-dressed, neatly barbered, distinguished writer. | 1. Which of the following best describes Ibsen"s childhood? | A. Lonely. B. Peaceful. C. Unhappy. D. Surprising. | 2. Ibsen benefited a lot from his experience as _______. | A. an apprentics B. a university student C. journalist D. a stage manager | 3. Ibsen"s first successful work was written in ____. | A. Grimstad B. Bergen C. Oslo D. Rome | 4. What can learn from the passage? | A. One is never too old to learn. B. Experience is the best teacher. C. Failure is the mother of success. D. Wisdom is better than gold or silver. | 完形填空 | After my 21 second graders finished reciting the text, they settled back in their seats.But Duane remained_1_.Duane was a bright and lovable student, _2_his mother, a single parent, had many problems such as drinking._3_that he might have a bad night, I walked over to him to see what was wrong.As he looked up, I could see the_4_in his dark eyes.

All of them have noted that such ignorance isn"t 14 -students have always possessed far less knowledge than they should.But in the past, 15 tended to be a source of shame and motivation.
