James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully __26__ the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! __27__ on earth was he going to get the __28__ of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was _29__ to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no __30__ asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to __31__.
There was only one way to get money, and that was to __32__ it. He would have to find a job. __33_ who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had _34__ on most things.
“Well, you can start right here,” said Mr. Clay. “My windows need cleaning and my car needs washing.”
That was the __35__ of James’s odd-job(零工) business. For three months he worked every day after finishing his homework. He was amazed by the __36__ of jobs that people found for him to do. He took dogs and babies for walks, cleared out cupboards, and mended books. He lost count of the __37__ of cars he washed and windows he cleaned, but the __38__ increased and he knew that he would soon have __39_ for the bicycle he longed for.
The day __40__ came when James counted his money and found $94.32. He __41__ no time and went down to the shop to pick up the bicycle he wanted. He rode __42__ home, looking forward to showing his new bicycle to his friends. It had been hard __43__ for the money, but James knew that he valued his bicycle far more __44__ he had bought it with his own money. He had __45__what he thought was impossible, and that was worth even more than the bicycle.

We often 28 in the hallway. I always greeted them, 29 the only answer I ever got was a “hello” from the eight-year-old girl. I usually 30 to see my doctor and one day when I returned they were just 31 their apartment and the little girl was 32 the outside door open for the others. I 33 in the car doing 34 things because I wasn’t eager to be snubbed (冷落) again. Finally I got out of my car and walked towards the door. The parents were telling her to 35 to get into the car, but the little girl was still holding the door, 36 me! I hurried although I was still in pain from my injury.
I forgot to tell her how 37 I was for her kindness. I wrote a note saying how much her act of kindness had 38 an old man’s heart.
The next day there was a (n) 39 on my door and it was the little girl and her father. She was quite 40 of her behavior and thanked me. Then I noticed her mother was there, too. Her parents 41 me, too.
Now when we meet in the hall way we always greet each other, in a friendly 42 .
Last night there was a heavy snow. I looked out at my car and 43 how I was going to keep my doctor’s 44 because I could only walk for a short time. This morning when I opened the front door, all the snow was removed.

Three years ago when I was still in the university, I also worked at a restaurant.
An old man named Mr. Candido Filio was one of our regular customers at the restaurant. He was one of the most intelligent people I’ve ever known.
Every Sunday the Philippine Star Newspaper had a special page for word puzzles and among his peers (同龄人), Mr. Filio held the record for solving all the puzzles in less than five minutes. He encouraged me to solve them too and for months and months, I did my best to beat him but failed.
Then one Sunday, I did it! I was able to complete them before anyone else. Everyone cheered for me. He came up to me with a smile and said, “No one has ever beaten me before. You’re the first. I’ll have a prize for you tomorrow.”
The next day, he gave me a special Scrabble (拼字游戏) set. I would have never been able to afford one like that by myself. Then he said to me, “Kate, what do you think is man’s final goal in life? Happiness, isn’t it? You are happy and that should be considered as a success. Many people spend a lifetime searching for that. Be thankful that you have found it.” I looked at him and knew that my life had changed, probably forever. He must have known that I always felt sad about not having much money.
He encouraged me to learn the game and love words. And true to his words, I was never able to beat him again.

Steve Fossett did not really look like an adventurer, but he reached some of the most difficult goals in sailing and flying.
Fossett was most proud of being the first person to fly around the world alone in a hot-air balloon. To make a trip around the world alone, it was necessary to have an improved autopilot (自动驾驶仪) device. Fossett had one of his team members develop a more advanced balloon autopilot that would allow him to sleep and do other tasks while flying safely.
Steve Fossett attempted the hot-air balloon trip around the world six times. This was not easy to do. He flew in the balloon’s capsule (密封舱) that was too small to stand upright. During his fourth attempt in 1998, he was almost killed during a storm off the coast of Australia. He fell 9,000 meters into the Coral Sea with his balloon’s capsule on fire. He was later rescued at sea.
Fossett successfully made the trip in 2002. The trip started and ended in Australia. He traveled more than 33,000 kilometers for more than 14 days. On this flight, Fossett set other records including a speed record of 322 kilometers per hour. One main problem with earlier balloon flights was the threat of dangerous storms. A team of weather experts e-mailed and talked to Fossett by a satellite telephone to help him avoid such weather.
Steve Fossett’s hot-air balloon is now at the Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. It is there as an example for other people to try and succeed in doing something important to them.
小题1:What did Steve Fossett specially prepare for the trip around the world?| A．He made the balloon’s capsule bigger. | | B．He had an autopilot impvoved. | | C．He formed a team to fly with him. | | D．He improved the balloon’s engine. |
小题2:Steve Fossett solved the problem of bad weather on his trip by ______.| A．communicating with experts | | B．using his rich experience | | C．inventing a satellite phone | | D．consulting other adventurers |
小题3:We can learn from the text that Steve Fossett was ______.| A．patient and careful | B．modest and easy-going | | C．brave and determined | D．energetic and kind-hearted |
小题4:What can we learn about Steve’s flight in 2002?| A．He was rescued during the trip. | | B．He lost his way over the sea. | | C．It lasted over three weeks. | | D．He set a speed record of balloon flight. |
