It was an unforgettable experience. By the time we made it to the 36 , my hands were wet. I 37 he would remember everything I had taught him over and over again. 38 he stopped and asked, “So, Mom, how do you like my 39 ?”
I must admit that his performance was 40 . He had both hands on the wheel. His eyes never left the highway and his handling was far better than I’d ever imagined it would be, 41 it still needed improving.
Several 42 ago, I was teaching him to ride his bike. We started 43 . The third grade primary school student was 44 that his training wheels were taken off. Of course it was a long evening. He 45 several times but always got up quickly and kept 46 until he mastered riding.
Viewing the 47 , I guess it really wasn’t about him driving. It was about him 48 ---gaining more and more independence; not 49 me so much anymore.
He will be a(n) 50 in high school this fall. This will truly be a 51 year for both of us. He’s ready to have one of the best years of his young life and I will have (a) complete mental 52 . For this is probably the last year that my baby will be at home on a(n) 53 basis.
After this school year, he’ll go to college and then into the real world. Things all happen so 54 .
Now I see the time has just arrived for him to perform what he’s learned.
So, I guess you could say his driving lessons are lessons for me too. Yes, I’m being 55 that it’s his time to drive through life’s green lights and move towards his future as smoothly and skillfully as possible.

Every object tells a story. Even the most ordinary objects can present to us powerful images. Sometimes it is the ordinary nature of these objects that actually makes them so extraordinary. Such is the case with an old leather shoe in a museum in Alaska. At first glance it does not look like much. It is a woman’s shoe of a style popular in the 1890s. But what is unique(独特的) about this shoe is where it was found. It was discovered on the Checkout Pass, the famous trail used by the people seeking gold in Alaska. Who it belonged to or why it was left there is not known. Was it perhaps dropped by accident as the woman climbed up the 1500 stairs carved outfa ce? Or did she throw away goods that she didn’t need in order to travel lighter?
Over 100, 000 people with “gold fever” made this trip hoping to become millionaires. Few of them understood that on their way they would have to cross a harsh wildnes s. Unprepared for such a dangerous journey, many died of starvation and exposure to the cold weather.
The Canadian government finally started requiring the gold seekers to bring one ton of supplies with them. This was thought to be enough for a person to survive for one year. They would carry their supplies in backpacks(背包) each weighing up to fifty pounds; it usually took at least 40 trips to get everything to the top and over the pass. Whoever dropped the shoe must have been a brave and determined woman. Perhaps she was successful and made it to Alaska. Perhaps she had to turn back in defeat. No one will ever know for sure, but what we do know is that she took part in one of the greatest adventures in the 19th century. 
小题1:The ordinary woman’s leather shoe is considered unusual because ______. | A．it was an important clue to life in the past | | B．it was found on a famous trail | | C．it at one time belonged to a VIP | | D．it was a fashionable shoe at that time |
小题2:According to this passage, many people who went to Alaska ______. | A．eventually became millionaires | B．brought with them many shoes | | C．had conflicts with the Eskimos | D．were not properly equipped |
小题3: The Canadian government made gold seekers bring one year’s supplies with them so that ______. | A．they would not die of hunger and cold | | B．the army would have enough food for fighting a war | | C．they would change these goods with the Eskimos | | D．the supplies would make Alaska rich |
小题4:No matter what happened to the woman who owned the shoe, ______. | A．she must have lived a happy life | | B．she certainly dropped the shoe on purpose | | C．her adventurous spirit is definitely admired | | D．her other shoes were equally fashionable |

In the early 1800’s, a boy named John lived in an orphanage (孤儿院) with several other children. Every day was 31 working and Christmas was the one day of the year 32 the children did not work and received a gift — an orange. The children valued it so much that they kept it for weeks, and even 33 — smelling it, touching it and loving it. Usually they tried to kept it for so 34 that it often went bad before they ate it.

Then he heard the door open and the children entered. Little Elizabeth with a 40 on her face held out her small hands. “Here John,” she said, “this is for you.” As John 41 his head, he saw a big juicy orange all peeled (剥皮) and quartered ……. Each child had sacrificed (舍弃) their own orange by 42 a quarter and had created a big, beautiful orange for him.
John never forgot the sharing, love and personal sacrifice his friends had shown him that Christmas day. 43 that day, after he became rich, every year he 44 send oranges all over the world to children everywhere. His 45 was that no child would ever spend Christmas without a special Christmas fruit!

When six the very best students from different cities in Guandong province all together chose universities in Hong Kong; when the very best student of Beijing picked up HK University while giving up the nearby Peking or Tsinghua University; when the highest enrollment （录取）rate of Hong Kong Science and Industry University reached 48:1, it’s the high time to ask where the real education heaven for students in China is.
Years ago, the answer certainly would be “Peking or Tsinghua University”. But now no one could give the exact reaction without hesitation. The only sure thing is that HK universities have gradually showed an unusual attraction to a great many mainland students.
It’s no doubt to call this HK craze（狂热）,which is even out of the expectation of those HK universities themselves.
How can HK universities shake the steady foundations of Peking and Tsinghua and attract so many mainland students?
First, Hong Kong universities offer large-amount scholarship, especially for the top students who can receive the sum scholarship as much as 400,000 HK dollars. Since higher education has become a kind of heavy burden of many families, it’s easy to understand why the reaction to the generous offering of HK universities is great.
Second, most HK universities receive professors and students from all over the world and carry out bilingual（双语）education. This kind of excellent language atmosphere is another attraction for mainland students.
Further more, university students in Hong Kong have a better chance to study abroad as exchange students.
Can mainland top universities like Peking or Tsinghua University calm as before when facing the unexpected competition from HK? Will they take relevant measures to win back the top students who once help them set the worldwide reputation? Time will explain it.
The fierce competition brought by HK universities can be a good thing for an entire improvement of education in China. After the awakening and action taking of mainland universities, they can perform better together with HK universities.
At least, it reminded the mainland universities the tuition fees（学费）are among students’ top concern when they are choosing universities. It’s time to move.
小题1:What is the passage mainly talking about?| A．Some thought brought by the enrollment of HK universities. | | B．Higher education in Hong Kong. | | C．The competition between HK University and Peking University. | | D．The fall of mainland universities. |
小题2:Top students from mainland apply for HK universities because .| A．many students now would love to study aboard to get a better experience. | | B．they concern only about the tuition fees when choosing universities. | | C．HK universities offer higher scholarship, better environment and more opportunities for their further study. | D．Peking university has lo st its worldwide reputation. |
小题3:What is the author’s attitude toward the competition brought by HK universities?| A．The government should take relevant measures to stop this unfair competition. | | B．Mainland universities had better lower their tuition fees and win back the top students. | | C．Universities both in mainland and in HK would get an entire improvement during the competition. | | D．It may probably cause a complete loss both sides in the end. |
小题4:From the passage we can see HK universities .| A．didn’t mean to enroll top students from mainland | | B．didn’t expect their enrollment of mainland students would be so popular | | C．have strict enrollment rules and only 1 out of 48 students can get the chance to study there | | D．are proud of their teaching staff and facilities |
小题5:What does the author mean by saying “It’s time to move” in the last paragraph?| A．Mainland universities should take measures as soon as possible to attract students. | | B．The opportunities come for top students to study abroad. | | C．Mainland universities should make full preparations to challenge mainland universities. | | D．Top students should be offered further education free of charge. |
