完形填空。     Each of us fails from time to time. If we are wise, we accept these failures as a   1   part of the learning
process. But all too often as parents and teachers we disallow this   2   right to our children.
     When I see a child   3   to 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 might be wrong.
     I tried my best to build his   6  . But nothing changed until midterm, when Mary Anne, a student teacher,
was assigned (安排) to our classroom.
     She was young and pretty, and she loved children. My pupils, Donnie included,   7   her.
     One morning, we were working math problems at the chalkboard. Donnie had   8   the problems with
painstaking neatness. Pleased 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 besides him and gently  12  the tear-stained 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. Lindstorm and me. See how the erasers
are  15 ? That"s because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistake 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 pencil became Donnie"s  19  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 and try again.
     Finally, know that I love you and always will. You area really wonderful journey, and I will always be there.

     Today is my first day at Merchiston Castle School, and I was really nervous about it, because I have never
visited the school before and didn"t take any summer course. Despite my anxiety, I soon relaxed once I arrived;
the staff were so nice that I felt my spoken English was better than it actually was! As soon as I walked into
the dayroom of my boarding house, I was absolutely (完全地) amazed by the friendly atmosphere; everyone
was so friendly that a boy as shy as I had no difficulty in setting in, and I made many new friends on my very
first day, although I was struggling to remember all the names.
     Also I realized there were other international students in the house from all over the world, such as South
Korea, Japan and Russia. Although their English was not so fluent, it didn"t take long for us to understand each
other at all. In some ways, it was even better to practice English by speaking to the international students,
because we were both learning.
     As a boarder, the quality of food is something I consider very important, and Merchiston has not let me
down. The school kitchens are run by a professional catering company, and the quality of food is excellent,
also they take the issue of a healthy diet really seriously. I remember once I was asked to take more salad for
my meal by a member of the kitchen staff for I did not have enough vegetables. This brings to another point
of being a boarder: you need to learn how to look after yourself and be responsible for yourself. One of the
huge advantages of being a boarder is that we can have breakfast in the school, which means we don"t have
to pull ourselves out of the bed as early as the daypupils!

[     ]
A. Because he had no friends and relatives there.

D. Because he was shy.
2. On the first day, _____.
[     ]
A. though the writer was anxious,he soon relaxed

C. he made many new friends,but he didn"t remember any of their names
D. he thought he spoke English better than the staff in the school
3. Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?
[     ]
A. In the boarding house,there are only students from South Korea, Japan and Russia.
B. The international students in the boarding house don"t speak Englsih very fluently.
C. The food in Merchiston doesn"t make the writer disappiointed.
D. The professional catering company thinks the issue of a healthy diet is very important.

     The first day of school we were interested to get to know a new classmate. I looked around when a gentle
hand touched my shoulder. I found a little old lady with a warm smile.
     She said, "Hi! I"m Rose. I"m 87 years old. Can I give you a hug?" I laughed and I heartily responded, "Of
course!"
     "Why are you in college at such a young, innocent (天真无邪的) age?" I asked.
     She jokingly replied, "I"m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have children, and then travel around." 
     "Not seriously," I asked. I was curious why she took on this challenge at this age.
     "I always dreamed of having a college education and now I"m getting one!" she told me. We became instant
friends.
     Over the year, Rose became a campus icon (偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went. She
loved to dress up and she enjoyed the attention from the other students.
     At the end of the semester, we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I"ll never forget what she
taught us.
     "We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. Here are the secrets to
staying young. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You"ve got to have a dream. When you lose your
dreams, you die. Unfortunately we have many people like this walking around?" she said.
     "There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. Anybody can grow older. That doesn"t
take any talent or ability," she added. "But growing up requires finding the opportunity in change. Have no
regrets. The elderly usually don"t regret what they did, but rather things they did not do."
     One week after graduation that year, Rose died peacefully in her sleep. She taught us by example that _____.
1. Why was Rose in college at 87? Because _____.
[     ]
A. she wanted to meet a rich husband
B. she wanted to get married and have children

[     ]

B. never too late to learn
C. Study hard and you will be young
D. never too late to be all you can possibly be

     The elephant was lying heavily on its side, fast asleep. A few dogs started barking at it. The elephant woke
up in a terrible anger: it chased the dogs into the village where they ran for safety. That didn"t stop the elephant.
It destroyed a dozen houses and injured several people. The villagers were scared and angry. Then someone
suggested calling Parbati, the elephant princess.
     Parbati Barua"s father was a hunter of tigers and an elephant tamer. He taught Parbati to ride an elephant
before she could even walk. He also taught her the dangerous art of the elephant round-up-how to catch wild
elephants.
     Parbati hasn"t always lived in the jungle. After a happy childhood hunting with her father, she was sent to
boarding school in the city. But Parbati never got used to being there and many years later she went back to
her old fife. "Life in the city is too dull. Catching elephants is an adventure and the excitement lasts for days
after the chase," she says.
     But Parbati doesn"t catch elephants just for fun. "My work," she says, "is to rescue man from the elephants,
and to keep the elephants safe from man." And this is exactly what Parbati has been doing for many years.
Increasingly, the Indian elephant is angry: for many years, illegal hunters have attacked it and its home in the
jungle has been reduced to small pieces of land. It is now fighting back. Whenever wild elephants enter a tea
garden or a village, Parbati is called to guide the animals back to the jungle before they can kill.
     The work of an elephant tamer also involves love and devotion. A good elephant tamer will spend hours a
day singing love songs to a newly captured elephant. "Eventually they grow to love their tamers and never
forget them. They are also more loyal than humans," she said, as she climbed up one of her elephants and sat
on the giant, happy animal. An elephant princess indeed!
1. For Parbati, catching elephants is mainly to _____.
[     ]
A. get long lasting excitement
B. keep both man and elephants safe
C. send them back to the jungle
D. make the angry elephants tame
2. Before Parbati studied in a boarding school, _____.
[     ]
A. she spent her time hunting with her father
B. she learned how to sing love songs
C. she had already been called an elephant princess
D. she was taught how to hunt tigers
3. Indian elephants are getting increasingly angry and they revenge because _____.
[     ]
A. they are caught and sent for heavy work
B. illegal hunters capture them and kill them
C. they are attacked and their land gets limited
D. dogs often bark at them and chase them
4. The passage starts with an elephant story in order to explain that in India _____.
[     ]
A. people easily fall victim to elephants" attacks
B. the man-elephant relationship is getting worse
C. elephant tamers are in short supply
D. dogs are as powerful as elephants
