完形填空。     I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so 1 as she muscled her way
through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was 2 the street from our home and
I would often   3  the kids as they played during breaks.
     I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in 4 as she ran circles around
the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just 5   their heads and into the net. The boys
always tried to stop her but nobody could.
    I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone. She would practice
dribbling(运球)and shooting over and over again, sometimes 6   dark. One day I asked her
why she practiced so much. She looked me in eyes and without a moment of 7 she said, "I
want to go to college. The only way I can go is if I get a scholarship. I like basketball. I   8
that if I were good enough, I would get a scholarship. I am going to play college basketball. I
want to be the best. My 9 told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count." Then she
smiled and ran towards the court to repeat the routine.
Well, I had to admit that she was 10 . I watched her through those junior high years and into
high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.
    One day in her senior year, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in arms. I walked across the
street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. 11 I asked what was wrong. "Oh, nothing,"
came a soft reply. "I am just too 12 ." The coaches (教练) told her that at 5"5" she would
probably 13get to play for a top ranked team- much less offered a scholarship - so she should
stop dreaming about college.
     She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten as I 14her disappointment. I asked her
if she had talked to her dad about it yet.
     She 15 her head from her hands and told me that her father said those 16 were wrong. They
just did not understand the 17 of a dream. He told her that if she really wanted to play for a
good college and if she truly wanted a scholarship, nothing could stop her except one thing-her
own 18 . He told her again, "If the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count."
     The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she
was seen by a college basketball coach. She was indeed offered a 19 , and admitted to the college
team. She was going to get the college education that she had 20 of and worked toward for all
those years.
    It"s true: If the dream is big enough, the facts don"t count.

     A man and his girlfriend were married. It was a large celebration.
     All of their friends and family came to see the lovely ceremony and to partake(分享,参与)
of the festivities and celebrations. All had a wonderful time.
     The bride was gorgeous in her white wedding gown and the groom was very dashing in his
black tuxedo(礼服). Everyone could tell that the love they had for each other was true.
     A few months later, the wife came to the husband with a proposal, "I read in a magazine, a
while ago, about how we can strengthen our marriage," she offered. "Each of us will write a list
of the things that we find a bit annoying with the other person. Then, we can talk about how we
can fix them together and make our lives happier together."
     The husband agreed. So each of them went to a separate room in the house and thought of
the things that annoyed them about the other. They thought about this question for the rest of the
day and wrote down what they came up with. The next morning, at the breakfast table, they
decided that they would go over their lists.
     "I"ll start," offered the wife. She took out her list. It had many items on it, enough to fill three
pages. In fact, as she started reading the list of the little annoyances, she noticed that tears were
starting to appear in her husband"s eyes.
     "What"s wrong?" she asked. "Nothing," the husband replied, "keep reading your list."
     The wife continued to read until she had read all three pages to her husband. She neatly
placed her list on the table and folded her hands over the top of it.
     "Now, you read your list and then we"ll talk about the things on both of our lists," she said
happily.
     Quietly the husband stated, "I don"t have anything on my list. I think that you are perfect the
way that you are. I don"t want you to change anything for me. You are lovely and wonderful
and I wouldn"t want to try and change anything about you." The wife, touched by his honesty
and the depth of his love for her and his acceptance of her, turned her head and wept.
     In life, there are enough times when we are disappointed, depressed and annoyed. We
don"t really have to go looking for them. We have a wonderful world that is full of beauty, light
and promise. Why waste time in this world looking for the bad, disappointing or annoying when
we can look around us, and see the wondrous(奇妙的) things before us?

D. She wants to strengthen the marriage.

3. Which of the following words can best describe the character of the groom?

C. the bride ignored the feeling of the husband on purpose
D. they didn"t love each other as we could see

     Even though it was only October, my students were already talking about Christmas plans. With each
passing day everyone became more   1 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its   2 , everyone would run
for their coats and go home except David.
     David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的)clothes. I had often   3   what kind of home life David had,
and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so   4   for the cold winter months, without
a coat, boots or gloves. But something made David   5 . I can still remember he was always   6   a smile
and willing to help. He always   7   after school to straighten chairs and sweep the floor. We never talked
much. He   8    just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and
slowly   9   home.
     Weeks passed and the   10 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness(***动不安)until the
last day of   11 before the holiday break. I smiled in relief as the last of them   12 out of the door. Turning
around, I saw David   13 standing by my desk.
     "I have something for you," he said and   14 from behind his back a small box.   15 it to me, he said
anxiously, "Open it." I took it over from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped it. I lifted the lid and to
my   16   saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice,
David, but it"s   17  ."
     "Oh no, it isn"t," said David, "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love is something
you can"t see or touch unless you know it"s there."
     Tears filled my eyes   18   I looked at the proud dirty face that I had   19 paid attention to. I never
forget the meaning   20   the little empty box set on my desk. After that Christmas, David and I became
good friends.
