A man was driving at 70 miles in a 40-mile zone, when a 1 came behind him. Right away the man
started thinking of 2 to give.
As the policeman came to him, he said, "Hi, officer, I guess you 3 me a little bit over the speed limit.
I was in a rush to get 4 , to be with my wife and kids. You know my younger son wasn"t feeling too 5
when I left home this morning. I"m afraid he"s ill."
The policeman said, "Well, I guess so," and started 6 something in his notebook. As minutes went by,
he could see from the side view mirror, the police-man was 7 writing. When the man was wondering why
he hadn"t asked for his driving 8 so far, the policeman came to his window, 9 him a piece of paper, and
returned to his car without saying a single word. The man wondered: how much was this 10 going to be?
However, the man was 11 it was not a ticket at all and he began to 12 :
"I had a daughter who was 13 by a speeding car at the age of six by a speeding driver. He got a fine, a
few months in 14 , and then was free, free to hug his two daughters. I only had one, and now I have to 15
until I get to heaven before I can hug her again. I have tried to 16 that man a thousand times, and I thought
I had. Maybe I really did forgive (原谅) him. So pray (祈祷) for me, and be 17 when you drive again. My
son is all I have been left with."
The man was completely 18 and could not move for the next few minutes. When finally he did, he drove
19 , even a few miles 20 the speed limit, praying for forgiveness. |

(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior (三年级学生).
John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join
our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he
could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted
the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.
About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning
various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out
for the track team, but why didn"t you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, since
you"re so good at it."
John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could
do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."
From then on, I often remember my student"s reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down
to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves,
I"ve found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way! | | 1. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John"s _____. | | [ ] | A. PE marks

"They should be home any time," Cindy thought as she finished the last touches on the chocolate cake
she was 1 . The cake didn"t taste 2 because she had run out of sugar.
The kitchen was in a mess (杂乱). Imagine a huge blender filled with all the things for making a chocolate
cake. Now the blender is turned 3 . High speed. Without the lid. Do you get the idea?
But Cindy wasn"t thinking about the kitchen. She was 4 for her parents to return so that she could

The music was so great that many people stopped to put some money into the hat of the young man.
The next day, the young artist came to the same place, and put his hat on the ground gracefully. Different
from the day before, he took out a large piece of paper and laid it under his hat. Then he began to play the
violin. It sounded more pleasant than ever.
Soon he was surrounded with people who were attracted by the words on that paper. It said, "Last night,
a gentleman named George Sang put an important thing into my hat by mistake. Please come to claim (认领)
it soon."
After about half an hour, a middle-aged man rushed through the crowd to the violinist and said, "Yes, it"s
you. I knew that you were an honest man and would certainly come here." The young violinist asked calmly,
"Are you Mr George Sang?" The man nodded. The violinist asked, "Did you lose something?""It"s a lottery
ticket," said the man.
The violinist took out a lottery ticket on which George Sang"s name was seen. "Is it?" he asked. George
nodded and took the lottery ticket and kissed it, then danced with the violinist. The violinist was a student at
an arts college and had planned to attend advanced studies in Vienna. Later his classmate asked the violinist,
"At that time you needed money to pay the tuition and you had to play the violin in the railway station every
day to make money. Why didn"t you keep the lottery ticket for yourself?"
The violinist said, "Although I don"t have much money, I live happily. But if I lose honesty I won"t be
happy forever." Through our lives, we can gain a lot and lose so much. But being honest should always be
