Immediately I got up and dressed, I stuck my violin under my jacket and went out into the streets to try my    . I wandered about for an hour, looking for a likely     , feeling as though I were about to commit a crime. Then I      at last under a bridge near the station and decided to have a try.
I felt tense and     . It was the first time, after all. I drew the violin from under the jacket like a gun. It was here, in Southampton, with trains rattling overhead, that I was about to       myself. One moment I was part of the hurrying crowds, the next I stood apart, my back to the wall, my hat on the       before me, the violin under my chin.
The first notes I played were loud and raw, like a declaration of protest, then they settled down and began to run more _   and to stay more or less in tune. To my     ,I was neither arrested nor told to shut up. Indeed, nobody took any     at all. Then an old man, without stopping at all, dropped a penny into my       as though getting rid of some guilty evidence.
I worked the streets of Southampton for several days, gradually obtaining the truth of the       by trial and error. It was not a good thing, for instance, to let the hat fill up with money---the sight could      a kind-hearted man; nor was it wise to      it completely, which could also confuse him, giving him no hint as to where to      his money. Placing a couple of pennies in the hat to start the thing going soon became a       practice and I made sure, between tunes, to take off most of the earnings, but always leaving two      behind.
Old      were most generous, and so were women with children, shop girls and barmaids.  As for men, heavy drinkers were always willing listeners and so were big guys with muscles. But      a man with an expensive hat, briefcase or dog: respectable types were the least      of all.  Except for retired army officers, who would shout "Why aren't you     , young man?" and then would over-tip to cover up their confusion.

After that moment I had a    of heart Now I love Madcaps and don’t miss one meeting I have     awkwardness when communicating and have many friends. And this year I am sure I will do more than the      20 hours of charity.

Jay Wilson was my English teacher at Lake Forest High School. It was him          realized my potential in writing, and his          made me a writer eventually.
He was kind to me, but I had no          that he took particular notice of me. There were other         kids in the class, and soon I fell back into my usual         and thought that I was just a little over average in most things. Near the end of the term, we began to read the play--Macbeth. Believe me, this is not an easy play for high school students to understand,        I spent a lot of time reading it. After working till the night before it was due, I wrote a paper about the          — the first paper I typed on a typewriter — and turned it          the next day.
I got a good          on it, and below the grade Mr. Wilson wrote, “Sure          you become a writer.” That was it. Those six words were written in his clear and neat handwriting. It was the first time he or anyone had          in any way that writing was a         option for me. We’d never had any writers in our family line, and we didn’t know any writers personally, even         , so writing for a living didn’t seem something          to me. But then, just like that, Jay Wilson tapped my hidden           and let me see a wider world.
Over the next 10 years, I often          about Mr. Wilson’s six words. Whenever I felt discouraged, it was those six words that came back to me and gave me         . When a few instructors in college gently and not-so-gently tried to tell me I had no talent, I held Mr. Wilson’s          before me to protect myself. I didn’t         what anyone else thought. Mr. Wilson, head of the whole English department at Lake Forest High,          I could be a writer. So I put my head down and struggled forward.  396

A ship was damaged during a storm at sea and only two of the men aboard were able to swim to a small island. Not knowing what else to do, the two survivors decided that they should pray to God.
However, to find out whose prayers were more powerful, they agreed to divide（分割開）the land between them and stay on opposite sides of the island.
The first thing they prayed for was food. The next morning, the first man saw a tree on his side of the island, and he was able to eat its fruit. But the other man’s side of land remained barren.
After a week, the first man became lonely and decided to pray for a wife. The next day, another ship was damaged and the only survivor was a woman who swam to his side of the island. But on the other side of the island, there was nothing.
Soon the first man prayed for a house, clothes and more food. The next day, like magic, all of these things were given to him. However, the second man still had nothing.
Finally, the first man prayed for a ship so that he and his wife could leave the island, and in the morning he found a ship stopped at his side of the island.
The first man boarded the ship with his wife and decided to leave the second man on the island. As the ship was about to leave, the first man heard a voice from Heaven, “Why are you leaving your partner on the island?”
“My blessings are mine alone since I was the one who prayed for them.” The first man answered. “ His prayers were all unanswered so he doesn’t deserve anything.”
“You are mistaken!” the voice said. “He had only one prayer, which I answered. He prayed that all your prayers would be answered.”
小題1:Why didn’t the two men stay together on the island?
A．Because they both wanted to live a quiet life
B．Because they couldn’t get along well with each other
C．Because they wanted to test the power of their prayers
D．Because they wanted to keep their own life secret from others
小題2:The underlined word “barren” is closest in meaning to ______.
A．noisy B．emptyC．dangerousD．calm

A．Hard-workingB．LuckyC．SelfishD．Dishonest
小題4:What does the author try to express through the story?
A．God helps those who help themselves

The Johnson family from England believe they are lucky to be alive after surviving an incredible incident off the coast of Australia. The Johnsons had been      that they might see some whales when they were _    a yacht （帆船）— a large expensive boat for a 10-day sailing      around the Whitsunday Islands.     , they had no clue just how      their viewing would be. Two hours into their journey a nine-meter-long humpback whale      out of the ocean and crashed into their boat before returning to the water.
Mark Johnson，the eldest son，was sailing the yacht when he heard an immense bang and a thud(重?fù)袈?.He     thought the yacht had hit a rock. However, when he looked up, he saw the whale      down the deck of the boat. He told the reporters, “ We were staring into its right eye. It was a very     _ moment. The eye was about the      of a dinner plate. It was huge.”
    for the Johnson family, no one was hurt, but the yacht suffered      damage. The whale had ruined the mast and rigging — the pole and ropes which hold the      ——and so the family was left      at sea, 10 miles from the shore. The      equipment was also damaged, but fortunately they had a cell phone and were able to call for help.
Why the whale jumped onto the yacht is a    ，but the family thinks that maybe the boat had not      sailed between the whale and its baby calf. Perhaps the whale was trying to      its calf when it jumped, hit the yacht by chance.
Whatever the reason, people are completely      that this incident happened. There is over 135 million square miles of ocean , so what are the      of a whale jumping onto a 30-foot-long yacht? The chance of something like this happening is miniscale, but it just shows that life is full of surprises.

Whenever you want to make a decision, just make sure to think twice and confirm it. This is what we learn from the following story. While two old beggars were sitting on a        street corner, they watched helplessly as scores of people walked by. Some purposely       them and others too caught up in their own cares didn’t even notice their        . Every so often, a kind-hearted woman or a small child would drop a few coins in the       which lay in front of them.
As the crowd began to die down, they started to           their things and head for their evening      . Just as they were getting ready to leave, they noticed a man walking toward them. He was obviously a         man—they could tell that from his finely tailored business suit.
The first beggar whispered to the second with          , “He’s coming our way!”
The two tried not to look         at the man as he stepped closer to them, but they couldn’t          gazing up with anticipation         he reached into his pocket and took something out.
“Thunk” was the only sound they heard as what looked like a piece of hard        , wrapped in tissue paper hit each of their waiting hats. The rich man           and continued on his way, not making a backward glance.
“How insulting(侮辱人的)!” said the first beggar. “He could have          left us a few coins or a spare bill, but he mocks us with a piece of rock candy. Who does he think we are?        ? There’s no way we can even eat this—we have no         .” He picked up the object and threw it into the gutter.
“I haven’t had anything like this for ages,” the second beggar thought. “I can’t chew it, but I can suck on it      , and the sugary juices will stay in my          for a long time. How nice of that man to offer me something so sweet！”
With that, he         the white tissue paper, but to his        , there was no hard rock candy inside. However, into his fingers fell a shiny white pearl worth thousands of dollars.

Yousuf Karsh，the Canadian portrait artist who photographed many of the most influential figures of the 20th century，died in a Boston hospital on July l3 th，2002．He was 93．
Working from a studio in Ottawa，Karsh produced famous portraits of such subjects as Winston Churchill，John F．Kennedy，Ernest Hemingway and Albert Einstein．Actually he has become almost as famous as his legendary subjects．In the latest edition of Who’s Who，which listed the most notable people of the last century，Karsh was the only Canadian of the 100 famous people listed——51 0f whom Karsh had photographed．
As a master portraitist，often working in black and white．Karsh was famous for talking to his subjects as he was getting the shot’s composition just right，asking them questions and putting them at ease．In preparation，he read as much as he could about the sitters，but avoided having the idea beforehand of how he would photograph them．He sought, as he wrote in Karsh Portfolio in 1967，to capture the “essential element which has made them great，” explaining，“All I know is that within every mall a secret is hidden，and as a photographer, it is my task to reveal it if I can．”
Karsh was born in America in 1908，and his uncle，George Nakash，brought him to John Garo，all outstanding photographer，to teach him in 1928．Four years later，Karsh set up his own studio in Ottawa．
In December of 1941，his memorable portrait of Winston Churchill brought Karsh into international fame．Canada’s Prime Minister Mackenzie King arranged for him to photograph Churchill following Churchill’s speech in the House of Commons．Not told，Churchill lit up a cigar, “Why was I not told of this?’’ Karsh asked him to remove the cigar and，when he didn’t，stepped forward and gently removed it with the comment，“Forgive me，Sir．”Churchill glowered (怒目而視) as the shot was taken，then permitted Karsh to take still another,；jokingly commenting，“You can even make a roaring lion stand still to be photographed．” The Churchill portrait has since appeared in publications all over the world．
Karsh traveled to London in 1943 with his portable studio —— an 8-by-10 view camera and many studio lamps to photograph such notables as George Bernard Shaw and the royal family．All these portraits fully illustrate Karsh’s ability．
