Whenever I recall my childhood, there is one thing I remember clearly. My father used his   36 to let my mother   37  her parents who lived far away. There was just my younger brother and myself in the   38 . One evening, our father came home and there was no   39 , not even a piece of bread. My father had no money and he was as   40  as we were. My brother and I went to bed without having anything.
  41  I knew from the expressions on my father’s face that he could not   42  us be hungry for long. He left the house, and about two hours later he   43  and woke us up. He had two small potato pies in his hands. I didn’t know where he got the money for the food but somehow he   44  to find a way. It was clear that he wanted to get his children   45 .
My father did not eat and had   46  all day but he sat there and felt   47  at seeing us eat. This has always stuck in my   48 . At that moment, I felt moved  knowing that he tried his best not to let us   49 , and he wanted us to know he was always there ____50______ us.
In   51  times, I think, it is important not to   52  weakness but strength.   53  the mother is the cement(黏合剂)that   54  a family together, then the father is the steel that strengthens(加固) that cement.
It is his values and   55  that have carried me forward and helped me deal with my own problems in life.

举一反三
It happened to me recently that I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama’s Dreams from My Father and how it had changed my views of the current US president. The person I was talking to agreed with me that it was, in his words, “a wonderfully written book”. However, he then proceeded to talk about Mr. Obama in a way that suggested he had no idea of his background at all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.
And it seems that he is not the only one. Clearly two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven’t. In the World Book Day survey, Dreams from My Father is at number 9. The survey lists top ten books, and various authors, which people have lied about reading. As I’m not one to lie too often, I’ll admit here and now that I haven’t read the entire ten books. But I am pleased to say that I have read the book at number one, George Orwell’s 1984. I think it’s absolutely outstanding.
Asked why they lied, the most common reason was to impress someone they were speaking to. This could be difficult if the conversation became more in depth!
The World Book Day survey also has some other interesting information in it. It shows that many people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, Charles Dickens and so on. But when asked which authors they actually enjoy, they named J.K. Rowling, Jilly Cooper, and Stephen King (ah, the big sellers, in other words). Forty-one percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back of the book to read the end before finishing the story.
So which books have you lied about reading — if any — and which is your favourite?
1.The main reason why people lie about reading is to _________.
A. make fun of the listener                 B. impress the listener
C. please the listener                      D. interest the listener
2.The underlined word “proceeded” in the passage probably means “_________”.
A. wanted           B. happened         C. continued            D. stopped
3.What does the World Book Day survey show?
A. Nearly half of the people surveyed didn’t read through a whole classical book.
B. People don’t like Dreams from My Father and George Orwell’s 1984.
C. Few people lie about having read classical works by Jane Austen.
D. People usually enjoy reading books by Charles Dickens.
4.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Are You a Book Liar?                 B. Readers Are All Liars
C. World Book Day                       D. Dreams from My Father

LAST weekend, I helped my friend Alex get money for poor children at Crossroads Mall He  36 needed volunteers, especially of the female. I decided that this was a pretty good  37 , so the next day I got ready to go.
I arrived at Crossroads about five minutes  38 , and helped Alex and   39 of the volunteers. There were only three  40 at first, and we figured we might as well get started  41 just waiting for more to arrive. I held the   42 , and suddenly felt extremely shy. I did not  43 asking people for donations. In fact, I’m usually one of those people who try to   44 those boring stands and ask you for a little contribution. For heaven’s sake, I can contribute to a few,   45 I cannot alone  46 every single cause in the world!
I really didn’t like the idea of asking anyone for donations to our cause.   47 , I watched my friends speak to the strangers, and noticed that they were extra polite to everyone—no matter whether they  48 . I realized that   49 I wasn’t pushy(强求的), it would be okay, and my conscience could be  50 .
I pasted on a large smile, and started asking people passing by. My mouth tripped over words, and I continually said “um” while I thought of the correct terms.   51 I talked to more and more people. Not only improved, but also started noticing small  52 . Instead of saying “donate”, which made most people walk away  53 .I started suing the word “contribute”. I added the phrase “every little bit counts”, and people started to donate small amounts in larger quantities. As the day went on, I learned how to pull on the hearts of the   54 , and I became a successful fundraiser.
At the end of the day, we all gathered at Alex’s house and   55 how much money we raised. I was so surprised; We raised over $300! We celebrated, and went home tired, but satisfied that we helped a great cause.

Each time I see a balloon, my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You"ll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped (缠绕) the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he"d persevere, dart up, and finally transcend (超越) this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditar. I prayed to be a balloon.

Five years ago, I was sent to a better middle school. For me, everything there was new and strange. After I had been there for two months, there was an important test in the middle of the term. It covered all my courses. In that test, I didn’t get a good grade, but most of my classmates got an A or A’.
It made me upset for a long time. I felt everything in the world was changing. I thought my classmates were all better than me. During those days I was very unhappy.
One day, my aunt, after talking with my teachers, talked to me. She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future. I was shocked by her words. I thought about what I had done during the past months, and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades. I thought I should work harder.
After that, I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes, and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something. I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems. Most of all, I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class. As a result, I did better in some tests.
About three months later, the most important test came at the end of the term. This time, I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade. From then on, I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something, I should work hard for it.
小题1:Why did the writer fall behind in the new middle school?
A.Because the teachers didn’t treat him well enough.
B.Because the subjects were becoming more difficult.
C.Because he hated the life in the new school.
D.Because he didn’t put his heart into study.
小题2:What did the writer’s aunt do to help him out?
A.She punished him for not working hard.
B.She helped him find out the reasons for his poor performance.
C.She forced him to work harder.
D.She asked his teachers to talk with him about his problems.
小题3: Which of the following studying methods helped the writer most?
A.Asking teachers for help when in difficulty. B.Working deep into the night every day.
C.Making notes in class. D.Listening to every word his teachers said.
小题4:What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A.The writer failed again in the exam. B.The writer did very well in the exam.
C.The writer became the cleverest in the class. D.The writer was very proud of his progress.
