There was a time when I thought my dad didn’t know a thing about being a good father. I couldn’t __21__ him ever saying the words “I love you.” It seemed to me his only purpose in life was to say “__22__” to anywhere I wanted to go and anything I wanted to do, including getting a __23__. Some parents bought their kids cars when they got their driver’s licenses. __24__ my dad---he said that I’d have to get a job and buy my own.
So that’s what I did. I got a job at a very nice restaurant and __25__ every penny I could. And when I had enough to buy my car, I __26__! The day I brought that car home, my dad was the first one I wanted to show it __27__ to. “Look, dad, a car of my own. If you ever want a ride, I’ll only __28__ you five dollars.” I offered with a smile.
“I see,” was all he said.
One day, there was something wrong with my father’s truck. So he needed a __29__ to work. The sun wasn’t even up when we left the house, __30__ it was already getting warm out. It was going to be a __31__ day. As I dropped my dad off, I __32__ him, dressed in his work clothes, getting his __33__ from the trunk of my car. Watching his sun-weather-red face, and even from a distance I could tell there were __34__lines than I ever remembered being there before. I realized how hard my dad works for his family. My father is a cement finisher(水泥休整工).
In that instant, it __35__ to me that he actually got down on his hands and knees to sweat over hot concrete to make a living for his family. And he did this __36__, no matter how hot it got. Never, not once, had I heard him __37__ about it. To him we were “worth” it. And never once did he “charge” us for it.
When he closed the trunk, his tools set off to the side, he walked over to my window to __38__ me five dollars. I rolled down the window and said “Good-bye, dad. Keep your five dollars. It’s on me. Don’t work too hard. I love you.”
His eyes met mine, then glanced away in the direction of his waiting tools, he cleared his __39__ and said, “Oh, and …__40__, too.”

"A” for Attitude
English was always my favorite subject. In my freshman year of high school, I could write a killer composition. In my second year, my
36
allowed me to give spelling tests to the class. I had wonderful
37
of my junior year. Mrs. Alexander
38
me to sit at her desk and take over the class when she had to leave the room. Only my senior English class was 39 , as we had a teacher right out of college who expected college-level work. Every student received a “C” or “D” grade the first quarter.
40
English was still my subject.
I graduated from high school, 41 early and had children. Confident about my English, I often helped my kids with their English homework. And I
42
long articles and beautiful poetry as a columnist for a newspaper. Fifteen years later, I went to college, and because I had been an "A" student, I remained an ‘‘A” student. I
43
up to my own expectations.
Yesterday, I
44
my high school report cards when I was reading old papers. That bundle of report cards
45
back the old days. I remembered sitting in my advisor's office,explaining that I had always excelled at English, and
46
that I did not deserve a “D” from that
47
teacher of my senior year. The advisor was sympathetic but unable to change a (an) 48
Reading
49
my old report cards revealed something else too. I wanted to tore them or hide them. I was not an ‘‘A” student in high school English!Somehow, I had
50
myself of this,when the grades clearly reflected an
51
student with an occasional “ A ” or ‘‘ B” but mostly “C” s.
Had I lived up to those grades and
52
myself according to those letters,I would have never confidently sought my writing
53
. Had I believed in my early grades instead of myself,I would have allowed my fear of
54
to defeat my enthusiasm and damage my creativity.
55 ,I viewed my younger self as an “A” English student, except for that undeserved “D”.

it, but I could pray from the

,I said ,”well ,in that case ,I guess I’ll

,”My father just said, ”Okay ,Son,”
But as we headed home ,I realized how wrong I was and begged him to
39
.But he just said ,”That’s okay ,we don’t really need one .”I felt 40 for my selfishness and ungratefulness.He didn’t mind ,or 41 act disappointed.
I
42
that generosity(慷慨)goes two ways and gratefulness sometimes costs more than“thank you ”.On that day gratefulness would have cost 20 cents and it would have been the

4.完形填空(共20小题;每小题1分,满分20分)
When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage(孤儿院)and taught us how to do woodworking projects. I remember my first project—a small table. I was so
36
of it that I looked upon it
37
I had created a wonder. It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to
38
it. I could
39
wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always
40
with us.
As the tables were not
41
from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories.
42
I was just so excited and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a flash carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was
43
it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand
44
it, she noticed it was still wet.
“Were you
45
to bring this home?” she asked. “No, ma’am,” I
46
with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was
47
stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off. I hid the table in my closet and never
48
it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent (宿管员), thinking that she would
49
it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I
50
that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her
51
to get something important. I followed her
52
into a dark corner. She picked something up.
53
she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table. Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.
Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of
54
to Mother Henderson, who kept it for a young orphan who tried very hard to
55

The other day I was talking to a stranger on the bus; he told me that he had a good
36
in Chicago and he wondered if, by any chance, I
37
to know him . For a moment, I thought he might be
38
,but I could tell from the expression on his face that he was not. He was
39
. I felt like saying that it was ridiculous (可笑的) to
40
that out of all the millions of people in Chicago I could possibly have ever bumped into his friend. But,
41
, I just smiled and reminded him that Chicago was a very
42
city. He nodded, and I thought he was going to be content to drop the subject and talk about something else. But I was wrong. He was silent for a few minutes, and then he
43
to tell me all about his friend.
His friend’s main
44
in life seemed to be tennis. He was an excellent tennis player , and he
45
had his own tennis court. There were a lot of people with swimming
46
, yet there were only two people with private tennis court; his friend in Chicago was one of them. I told him that I knew several
47
like that, including my brother, who was a doctor in California. He
48
that maybe there were more private courts in the country than he
49
but he did not know of any others. Then he asked me
50
my brother lived in California. When I said Sacramento, he said that was a coincidence
51
his Chicago friend spent the summer in Sacramento last year and he lived next door to a
52
who had a tennis court in his backyard. I said I felt that really was a coincidence (巧合) because my next-door neighbour had gone to Sacramento last summer and had
53
the house next to my brother’s house. For a moment, we stared at each other, but we did not say anything.
“Would your friend’s name happen to be Roland Kirkwood?” I asked finally. He
54
and said, “Yes. Would your brother’s name happen to be Dr Rey Hunter?” It was my
55
to laugh. “Yes,” I replied.

WHEN John Gurdon was 15, he ranked last out of the 250 boys in his grade at biology. He also came in last for every other science subject. His teacher wrote in a
16
: “I believe he has ideas about becoming a
17
; on his present showing this is quite foolish.”
Luckily, the teacher’s words didn’t
18
Gurdon’s love for science. He kept working hard. He went to lab earlier and left
19
than anyone else.
On Oct 8, 2012, 64 years later, the British professor
20
the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine. Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka had contributed to the research and therefore
21
the award.
Gurdon got the honor
22
his research into cells and cloning. When he was studying at Oxford, he did some
23
on cells. He took a cell from an adult frog, moved its
24
, and put them into an egg cell. The egg cell then
25
into a clone of the adult frog. His research
26
for the first time that every cell in the body contains the same genes.
At that time, many people
27
accept Gurdon’s idea. But later it helped to
28
Dolly the sheep in 1996, the first cloned mammal in history. It also led to important findings in the
29
use of cells. For example,
30
from someone’s skin can turn into any type of tissue in the body. This is good news for those
31
who have diseased or damaged tissue.
Gurdon always remembers the
32
he had when he was 15. He even put the report on his desk as a daily
33
to himself.
“When you have
34
, like an experiment doesn’t work, it’s nice to remind yourself that perhaps you are not so good at your job and the teacher may be
35
,” he said.
However, the facts suggest Gurdon is pretty good indeed.
