The car, running along the well-lit road now sank in darkness. I broke the
36
on purpose, 37
that the driver was too tired to drive. “When do you go back home in the evening?”“9 o’clock after this
38 .”“Then when do you come out in the moming?”I
39
another question.“9 o’clock, too-just as if I worked at an office.”His
40
surprised me, because every time I ride a taxi, what I
41
from the driver are only complaints that they have to work from morning till night, it’s hard to earn money they’re often
42
by the police, or that their leaders are seated lazily, 43
the fruits. But this driver told me,“I find it
44
to be a section chief as I was before. I like driving just for
45. It’s fortunate that I hardly drive
46
a passenger. So I earn two or three thousand yuan a month with ease. Yes, I never
47
an empty taxi. If it goes southward, I go northward. If it goes along a
48 , I turn into a narrow street…”
His words showed his
49
with his life and the pride he
50
in his job. Such feelings are so rare among people nowadays as oxygen in high
51 . As an ancient saying goes,“Neither joy in material
52
nor grieve (悲痛) over personal setbacks.”How many people nowadays can show high ideals by
53
living and go far with a calm mind? I couldn’t help feeling
54
when finding such a state of mind in a stranger on a cold

3.阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
Life became hard when I was 14. My mother and I moved to New York to 36 my father, who’d moved there to find
37
work when I was three years old. He had a job at a restaurant and only visited us
38
every couple of years.
Before I moved, I knew that people in the US spoke English. But honestly, I didn’t stop to analyze the
39
when I was
40
to leave. Just like I assumed I could easily become a doctor or a lawyer. I assumed that I had the skills to learn English in a few weeks.
When I
41
in the US and started 8th grade at Ditmas Middle School in Brooklyn, everyone was speaking a(n)
42
language I couldn’t understand. I
43
that life had subtitles, like in foreign movies. School was such a serious place here. Sometimes I felt like I was in a geek（呆子） class. The teachers were always
44
my moves so I couldn’t even throw a paper ball at a classmate’s head. And the worst thing was having to read
45
.
46
after almost seven months of complaining about everything, I realized that complaining didn’t change things.
47
just made my life worse. If I was going to
48
in this new concrete jungle, I had to
49
. I began to learn English by reading newspapers on my own
50
school. After about four months, I started enjoying reading the crime and sports stories. After six months of studying, my teachers
51
my improvement and moved me into a more
52
English class. I could go to the store and ask for things that I wanted to buy without
53
frustration. For the first time I felt like I was living on earth again
54
.I didn’t hear foreign talk. I
55
understand people.

Don’t shoot butterflies with guns.
Can you
36
someone running after a butterfly with a gun in his hands? Won’t such stupidity make you burst out laughing? But wait. Stop and consider how often you might have done something
37
.
A hen, Henny-Penny, lived in a forest with many other animals and birds. One fine, sunny morning, she was busy looking for
38
in the ground. Suddenly she let out a frightened cackle (咯咯叫) with wings flapping
39
. A dry leaf had fallen down on her, and she went
40
at whoever she met, “Run, run for your lives; the sky is falling.” The other creatures stopped whatever they were doing. Some ran behind Henny-Penny, screaming warnings with her, while others
41
the unfounded story that the sky was falling.
We all have
42
people like this hen. The rest of us are like the other foolish creatures who didn’t stop to verify (证实) the
43
for themselves. They shoot butterflies with guns. They just will not think for themselves. Why don’t people think for themselves? Often because of laziness, or because they don’t want to be
44
for their way of thinking.
Walking through life
45
is more dangerous than crossing a busy road with eyes closed. Our thoughts should lead us towards the light of wisdom and sense. Our thinking should be high,
46
us to the ranks of the sensible. We have been blessed with reasoning, sensitive minds. Let us make use of them and be
47
of our own minds. Don’t let your mind be enslaved by someone else. Stop, think and then go ahead.

5.
There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells groceries, meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a__36__. The owner, __37__he would love to help, simply didn’t have any jobs
38
, so he kept refusing the man’s office.
This situation continued
39
for a few months, until the owner
40
to give the homeless man a job which
41
sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 a.m, the homeless man was there doing the very
42
he could for the owner, making it the community’s favourite, even though it did
43
him pennies.
44
, the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working
45
a cashier. He was watched closely to make sure that he didn’t
46
any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless after all. The homeless man did a/an
47
job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was promoted to
48
the finances for the whole shop.
To my
49
, this was the arrangements up until 2 years ago, when the owner
50
. In his will, he only had one
51
to give the whole shop to the now stable, “homeless” man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as
52
, with his own business that is still
53
and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.
From this story, we can probably get the inspiration: work hard and give everything your best effort, even if it isn’t your
54
situation, it very well may turn out to be
55
some day in the future.
