brown bear which had caught a large fish by a quiet lake. The wild bear found 6 too,and stood on its

rushed to a tall tree nearby. He climbed to the top of it as quickly as he could. 11 who could not
climb a tree,immediately lay down on the ground, 12 to be dead. When the bear bent down over

When I see a child 3 from this kind of pressure,I think of Donnie.
Donnie was my youngest third-grader. His 4 of failure kept him from classroom games
that other children enjoyed. He 5 answered questions-he was afraid he might be wrong. I tried
my best to build his 6 . But nothing changed until midterm,when Mary Anne,a student teacher,
was assigned to our classroom. She was young and pretty,and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie
included,all 7 her very much.
One morning,we were working on math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had copied the
problems with pains taking tidiness and filled answers in the first row. 8 with his progress, I 9
the children with Mary Anne and went for art materials. When I returned,Donnie was in 10 .
He"d missed the third problem.
My student teacher looked at me in despair. Suddenly her face 11 . From the desk we
shared,she got a container filled with pencils.
"Look,Donnie," she said,kneeling beside him and gently 12 the tear-stained (弄脏的) face
from his arms."I"ve got something to 13 you. " She removed the pencils,one at a time, and
placed them on his desk.
"See these 14 , Donnie," she continued. "They belong to Mrs Lindstrom and me. See how
the erasers(橡皮) are 15 ? That"s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes
and try again. That"s what you 16 learn to do,too. "
She kissed him and stood up. "Here," she said. "I"ll leave one of these pencils on 17
desk so you"ll remember that everybody makes mistakes, 18 teachers. " Donnie looked up
with love in his eyes and a smile.
The 19 became Donnie"s prized possession. That,together with Mary Anne"s frequent
encouragement,gradually 20 him that it"s all right to make mistakes as long as you erase them

She turned up at the doorstep of my house in Comwall. No way could I have sent her away. No way,not me anyway. Maybe someone had kicked her out of their car the night before. "We"re moving house. ""No space for her any more with the baby coming. " "We never really wanted her,but what could we have done? She was a present. " People
find all soris of excuses for abandoning an animal. And she was one of the most beautiful dogs I had ever
seen.
I called her Goldie. If I had known what was going to happen I would have given her a more creative name. She was so unsettled during those first few days. She hardly ate anything and had such an air of sadness about her. There was nothing I could do to make her happy,it seemed. Heaven knows what had happened to her at her previous owner"s. But eventually at the end of the first week she calmed down. Always by my side,whether we were out on one of our long walks or sitting by the fire.
That"s why it was such a shock when she pulled away from me one" day when we were out for a walk. We were a long way from home,when she started barking and getting very restless. Eventually I couldn"t hold her any longer and she raced off down the road towards a farmhouse in the distance as fast as she could.
By the time I reached the farm I was very tired and upset with Goldie. But when I saw her licking (舔)
the four puppies(幼犬) I started to feel sympathy towards them. "We didn"t know what had happened
to her," said the woman at the door. "I took her for a walk one day,soon after the puppies were born,and
she just disappeared. " "She must have tried to come back to them and got lost," added a boy from behind her.
I must admit I do miss Goldie,but I"ve got Nugget now,and she looks just like her mother. And I"ve
leamt a good lesson: not to judge people. | | 1. How did the author feel about Goldie when Coldie came to the house? | A. Shocked.

D. complexity | | 阅读理解。 | Technology today has stolen away our voices and robbed our children of memories. I"ve been keeping count of how often people sing around the house these days. The fact is,they don"t.
My earliest memories are of my mother crooning lullabies(催眠曲) in a gentle low voice as she rocked each infant in tum. She said she " didn"t have a singing voice," but her low,wavering alto will always mean
comfort to me. Every
time I have sat through the night with a feverish body or held a pre-schooler through a nightmare,the
melodies returned, words appearing and disappearing like fragments of a dream but held together by the
hum(低声吟唱) of love.
Today,young mothers are routinely presented with lullaby tapes at the baby shower. When baby cries,
the idea goes,they will be able to switch on the high-tech audio system and the little one will drift off with
the voices of strangers in his ears,perfectly on pitch. If I had my way,new parents would learn the songs
themselves,throw out their stereos,and give their child the gift of their own sleepy voices through the
midnight hours.
These days,when we go on a trip,my daughters take along tiny personal stereos and headphones.
They are lost in their private worlds,and I can"t help wishing that at least here,in the car,my girls would be
forced to listen to their mother"s voice raised in lost-the-words again,sure I"m out-of-tune songs that they
might then pass down to another generation. Those sophisticated earphones have robbed them of
something I think every kid should carry from childhood car trips into adulthood.
I drove away from that party humming,and all the way home the good old songs kept tumbling out.
Dammit(该死) ,I thought,why did I ever stop singing in the car and start tuming on the radio instead?
Why don"t I sign anymore while I"m doing the dishes? I"m going to yank those stereo wires right out of
the wall when I get home. We"re going to sing grace before meals,sing coals around the piano,sing in the
shower instead of switching on that waterproof radio that stole away our voices and our souls. | | 1. The author hates today"s technology because____. | A. driving a car requires high concentration
