For most of us, success in school has very little to do with actual learning. The most important thing you have to master is how to play the grade games.
16 you think out your own strategies for getting high marks, everything 17_ up to you. You may be 18
to a well-known college or win a scholarship, not to mention gaining the
19
of your teachers and parents.
But not everyone does well in tests.
At
20 ,
it can almost turn into a funny game of hit and
21 . Some students haven't mastered the
22
of test taking, some fear under pressure or need more time or another way to
23
what they know.
Being a school
24
means learning the ins and outs of the school system.
Then you have to work things to your
25 . Lots of students are already doing it without even
26
it. Getting high grades also
27
on knowing each teacher's little characters. For example, I once had to
28
some extra scores on an important subject,
so one day in
29
classes I talked to the teacher who was always hard on us. I told him how I'd heard what a really
30 teacher he was, and how disappointed I was that I’d have to graduate
31
having been in his class. I lied. But It
32 .
I wasn't
33
of myself for what I did. But I considered it
34
of the grade game we're pushed into
35
to aim at going to the best schools.

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel(汽车旅馆) off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I
41
a room with two double beds and a bathroom was too
42
for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was
43
and my stepmother had
44
us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no
45_
what to do with me. And that’s when my other family
46
.
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home
47
their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I
48
with them for the next seven years.
Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She
49
I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.
50
I could tell, for the Beaches there was no
51
between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I
52
college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew
53
about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _54
his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely
55__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.
56
the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)
57
that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(使瘫痪、麻痹) by my _58
, and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.
I
59
family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was
60
, but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.

It was hard to accept, but the horrible day had finally arrived. I still remember the tears in my six-year-old sister’s eyes as she looked around the
36
closet in wonder. The space once filled with
37
clothes now held only loneliness and sorrow. This little child had come to the
38
that her father was gone. He had
39
us, and there was simply no way to change it.
Being the
40
of four girls has never been easy, but with the departure of our father, our
41
and dreams were ruined beyond repair. My mother, the most amazingly warm-hearted person in the world, worked harder than anyone should simply to
42
our broken family. However, long hours at work often prevented her from
43
being there in our times of need. This is where I have acted as the temporary
44
of my three small sisters.
Many students
45
essays about their leadership positions in school and the community, but I
46
that my greatest accomplishment is the
47
I have played within my own family.
The senior year in high school is not
48
for anyone, especially when it feels like the entire world is
49
on your shoulders. I’ve been trying hard to fulfill the dream my mother
50
for my future. She was not able to
51
her college education due to lack of money,
52
this success is her top priority(优待处理的事) for her
53 .
A leader is described as one who has influence on others. I hope that my leadership
54
the lives of my sisters and everyone around me. In
55
myself to my family and school, I have set goals that I will accomplish great things.

It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee.
41
I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed
42
. I saw their bodies, but I couldn’t feel their souls
43
their souls belonged to the
44
.
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man
45
in front of it. “I’m Steve,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “I can’t talk with you. I’m
46
,” he said. He was chatting online and,
47
, he was playing a computer game —a war game. I was
48
.
Why didn’t Steve want to
49
with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek(怪人),
50
not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction. I was
51
. I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, “
52
!”
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the cafe were looking at me. I raised my head, and saw nobody showed any
53
.
At that moment, I realized that the people there were having a nice
54
with their machines, not with people. They were more
55
having a relationship with the
56
, particularly Steve. I wouldn’t want to
57
the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines
58
with people.
I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I didn’t even
59
that the coffee was bad,
60
Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.

11-year-old Precious Thomas is making her way to the front of a conference room in a high school, smiling broadly. The students there have been
36
that the girl is HIV-positive. They are
37
,
as if they expected her to look
38
a bit sick.
"I know many of you are
39
, 'What could a little girl like her have to say?'" Precious begins. "I would like to tell you a story." In her own
40
words, she tells her story.
Precious was just two weeks old when her mother, a heroin addict, decided she couldn't
41
the child and gave her to a friend, Rocky Thomas. The birth mother
42
her rights so that Rocky and her husband could adopt Precious. They were in the process of doing that when the
43
was diagnosed with HIV. The couple adopted her
44
.
It was the age of AIDS
45
But Rocky, from the first, taught Precious about the infection, describing the virus to her as a "bad bug". With an early ability of
46
long prayers(祈祷文), poems and Bible passages, Precious showed off her
47
in churches at just two years old. There, in places where the talk of AIDS might not
48
have been welcomed, Precious began telling audiences about the "bad bug" in her body.
From kindergarten through fourth grade, Precious was
49
by a retired teacher with several other neighborhood children. Precious attended public school in fifth grade, but her mother
50
her out when some of the kids began
51
her, calling her "AIDS girl". Now she is two years ahead of other students her age at the SEED Public Charter School.
"Things are much better now," Rocky says. "Until she was four, she was
52
in hospital. Sometimes we didn't know
53
she could come back home. "
These days, Precious likes hanging
54
with her best friend, Charlotte, and going to dance class. Not worrying much about what might happen, she says, "I don't even focus on that. I'm just a(n)
55
11-year-old. Life is always enjoyable. "

6.The newspaper seller was a clean, neat man, of about forty with a rather serious, unsmiling face. He didn’t speak much to the customers or to his helpers, but when he did he spoke slowly and quietly, as if to himself. He believed in efficiency, not conversation. and this was how the office workers, rushing to catch their trains, preferred it.
It had been a good day. Lunch-time had been warm and sunny, and many people had bought magazines to read outside with their sandwiches. Now it was cold rainy, and people wanted an evening paper for a cheerless joyless journey ahead and a dull evening indoors.
At 6:30, with the main rush over, he started to collect the money together and count it. Then he left the stand and went home. It was the assistant’s turn this evening to look after it till eight o’clock, when it would be packed away for the night. His large white Mercedes was in the private car park of a large government building. He’d parked there for six months, pretending to be part of a heating firm working in the building. They would find out about him soon, and he’d have to park in a garage again, which was annoying. Their charges were far too high. A couple of junior clerks, regular customers, happened to see him getting into his car. “must be a lot of money in papers, eh?” one of them shouted. He just smiled coldly in reply, and got into the car, placing the bags of money on the floor.
He thought about the clerks on the way home. Like the majority of his customers, despite their white shirts and dark suits, they probably made in a week as much as he could make in a good day.
60.It seems unlikely that the newspaper seller would be the sort of man who would ______.
A.be a cheerful companion
B.try to cheat a customer
C.earn a great deal of money
D.trust his assistant much
61.The assistant’s job that evening was to ______.
A.sell papers until 8 o’clock
B.start selling magazines at 8 o’clock
C. count the money taken that day
D.lock up the car park
62.If they realized that he was not a heating engineer he would have to _______.
A.park his car in a government car park
B.look for another free parking place
C.pay to park his car in a garage
D.pretend he was a government employee
63.When the newspaper seller thought about the two clerks he decided they were _______
A.badly dressed
B. very well off
C.not as rich as himself
D. not as hardworking as himself
