　　Passage 1

　　I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was ___21__ and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could ___22__it all.

　　As I ___23__ the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle ___24___. He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to__ 25__ the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to __26__ if I could. I smiled back, took the __27__ and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.

　　I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas,and a dozen other things. I slowly ___28__ each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I ___29__ again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food ___30__ list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart.

　　With the food bank in mind, I went over and ___31___ two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took__32__ six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them,__33__ my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was ___34___, I had just enough to pay for it all.

　　It _35___ so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s __36__ belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to ___37__ a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random__38__ of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us,___39__.

　　Passage 2

　　Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is

　　21

　　only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous,

　　22

　　embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤車) any morning or evening to

　　23

　　the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or

　　24

　　off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).

　　25

　　, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once

　　26

　　, makes the offender immediately the object of

　　27

　　.

　　One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)

　　28

　　to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it

　　29

　　. Some people argue that it is because the British weather

　　30

　　follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much

　　31

　　in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases,

　　32

　　to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his

　　33

　　.

　　Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references

　　34

　　weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are

　　35

　　by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”

　　36

　　the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his

　　37

　　. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is

　　38

　　to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n)

　　39

　　subject to which a response may well be

　　40

　　of even the most reserved of the British.

　　21. A. relaxed

　　B. frustrated

　　C. amused

　　D. exhausted

　　22. A. yet

　　B. otherwise

　　The waiter approached me in a stream of _37__, telling me, “In many times she had _38__there before, but we had never seen the old lady smile as she did upon __39_the Smile Card and the $0check. She thanked me even though I _40__ that someone else did the job.”

　　Passage 4

　　The writer Devin with his friend Johnson went to his favourite news-stand. Johnson

　　21　the salesman selling the newspapers gently, but in return he received poor 　22　. The salesman never even looked up at his customer when he 　23　 the late-night edition. Accepting the 　24　, Johnson politely smiled and wished the salesman a pleasant weekend. The salesman made an unclear sound and seemed 　25　 that the two men had completed their business. As the two friends walked down the street, Devin asked, “Does he always treat you so 　26　?” “Yes, 　27　, he does,” Johnson responded. “And are you always so 　28　 and friendly to him?” “Yes, I am!” Johnson 　29　 as they turned a corner. “Why are you so nice when he is so unfriendly to you?” Johnson 　30　, “Because I don’t want him to decide how I am going to 　31　.” Who 　32　 how you are going to act? Is it your circumstances or the difficult people in your life that determine your 　33　? When we allow our conflicts to 　34　 us, we behave as if getting rid of our difficulties is our only priority. 　35　, it doesn’t really matter how we treat one another. For example, we’ll say, “This 　36　 is causing me problems right now so I don’t care about exercising 　37　, self-control, and loving kindness. Instead, I want to let him know how 　38　 I am because of his action.” We forget our difficulties will eventually weaken. But the way we handle conflicts will influence our 　39　 for a long time. Will you only respond to the momentary crisis or will you be more concerned about the 　40　 of what kind of person you are becoming? Who decides how you will behave when the pressure is on?
