One day, when I was in high school, I saw a kid named Kyle from my class walking home from school
with all his books, I thought to myself, " 1 would anyone bring home all his books for the weekend? He
must really be 2 ." As I was walking, I saw several kids running toward him. They ran at him, 3 all his
books out of his arms and he fell down in the dirt. His glasses went 4 and landed in the grass. He looked
up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes.
My 5 went out to him. So, I ran over to him. 6 I handed him his glasses, he looked at me and said,
"Hey, thanks!" There was a big smile on his face.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived. As it 7 , he lived near me. We talked all
the way home. I didn"t see him before as he had gone to a private school. Over the next four years, Kyle and
I became best friends.
Kyle was the 8 student of our class, one of those guys that really found themselves during high school.
Therefore he had the 9 to prepare a 10 speech. On the graduation day, I could see that he was 11 . So,
I patted him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you"ll be 12 !" He looked at me and smiled.
He cleared his throat, and began. "Graduation is a time to 13 those who helped you make it through those
14 years. Your parents, your teachers… but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a
friend to someone is the best 15 you can give him."
I just looked at my friend with 16 as he told the story of the first day we met. He had planned to 17
himself over the weekend and was carrying his books home. "Thankfully, nothing happened. My friend 18
me from doing the unspeakable."
Not until that moment did I realize that you should never underestimate (低估) the 19 of your actions.
With one small gesture you can 20 a person"s life. For better or for worse. |

tell at once that he and my mother had been discussing something. In that half-playful, half-serious way I
knew so well, he said, "How would you like to go to Eton?"
"You bet," I cried quickly catching the joke. Everyone knew it was the most expensive, the most famous
of schools. You had to be entered at birth, if not before. Besides, even at 12 or 13, I understood my father.
He disliked any form of showing off. He always knew his proper station in life, which was in the middle of
the middle class, our house was medium-sized; he had avoided joining Royal Liverpool Golf Club and went
to a smaller one instead; though once he had got a second-hand Rolls-Royce at a remarkably low price, he
felt embarrassed driving it, and quickly changed it for an Austin 1100.
This could only be his delightful way of telling me that the whole boarding school idea was to be dropped.
Alas! I should also have remembered that he had a liking for being different from everyone else, if it did not
conflict (冲突) with his fear of drawing attention to himself.
It seemed that he had happened to be talking to Graham Brown of the London office, a very nice fellow,
and Graham had a friend who had just entered his boy at the school, and while he was in that part of the
world he thought he might just as well phone them. I remember my eyes stinging (刺痛) and my hands
shaking with the puzzlement of my feelings. There was excitement, at the heart of great sadness.
"Oh, he doesn"t want to go away," said my mother, "You shouldn"t go on like this." "It"s up to him," said
my father. "He can make up his own mind." | | 1. The house the writer"s family lived in was _____. | | [ ] | A. the best they could afford
B. right for their social position
C. for showing off
D. rather small | | 2. His father sold his Roils-Royce because _____. | | [ ] | A. it made him feel uneasy
B. it was too old to work well
C. it was too expensive to possess
D. it was too cheap | | 3. The writer"s father enjoyed being different as long as _____. | | [ ] | A. it drew attention to him
B. it didn"t bring him in arguments
C. it was understood as a joke
D. there was no danger of his showing off | | 4. What was the writer"s reaction to the idea of going to Eton? | | [ ] | A. He was very unhappy.
B. He didn"t believe it.
C. He was delighted.
D. He had mixed feelings. | | 5. We can know from the passage that _____. | | [ ] | A. Children who can go to Eton are very famous
B. Children can go to Eton if they will
C. It is very difficult for a child to get admitted by Eton
D. Children don"t have the right to decide whether they will go to Eton | | 阅读理解。 | Mr. Fitzpatrick has given much attention to his "Weight reduction" (减轻体重) programs. Just last year,
for example, when he was the main speaker at the company dinner, he said he put on twenty pounds instead
of losing thirty he promised he would.
The year before that, he joined a health club. He exercised every day and ate less food. At the end of three
months, however, he began making excuses about why he couldn"t go there more often.
After the health club failed to work, he joined Weight Watchers but stopped going because he was the only
man there. And he hated following any of the diet programs. Fitz"s latest idea is to join a walking club to "walk
off" the weight. | | 1. Mr. Fitzpatrick was _____ when spoke at the company dinner last year. | | [ ] | A. lighter than the year before

B. he felt uncomfortable being watched by women
