From age eight to eleven, I attended a primary school in Bath, England. It was a(n)  21  school composed of(由…組成) four classes with about 25 children in each class according to     22 . For the most part, one teacher was responsible for teaching all subjects to the children in their class.  23  , sometimes the headmaster would come in and spend an hour or so,  24  some subject in which he was especially  25 . The headmaster’s name was Mr. Ronald Broackes.  26   he was quite strict about rules within the school, he had a sense of humor and would   27   telling the children small stories that would make us laugh. He was a very fair man and had a great influence on many of the children. In my own   28  , I found that he took a great interest in me and he quickly discovered that I enjoyed   29  . He would often stop me as I was going to class and produce a piece of paper from his pocket, often with a puzzle  30  on it. The puzzles were usually mathematical or logical(邏輯的 ). As time went on, they slowly got more  31 , but I loved them. Not only that, they kindled(點燃)within me a  32  of mathematics and problem-solving that stays with me to this  33  . They also served to show me that intellectual activity was  34   when the correct answers were found, but perhaps more importantly it was great   35  .To this day I can remember Mr. Broackes’ joyous cry of “Well done!” whenever I got a problem  36 .This simple interaction with a man whom I  37   greatly has had a deep effect on my life. I shall forever be grateful for that. Mr. Broackes died just two weeks after the   38   that I had won the 1993 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Unfortunately, I had no   39   to speak with him before he died. I learnt later that he had heard of my   40   and I will always hope that he realized the deep effect he had made on my life.

It was a beautiful Sunday morning, and Maggie and I were returning from our walk through the woods．We were only a couple of blocks from home when I spotted a cell phone and a credit card sitting on the road．We took them home．We always find amazing things on the street and she looks upon them as a movable feast-a chicken wing here or a barbecue rib （肋骨）there．

I found another cell phone a few years back, too, and called a number in its phone book．I explained the situation to the guy who answered．He said it was his sister's and that he'd come to pick it up, which he did．

And that was that．No verbal thank-you, no written thank-you, no “here's a box of chocolates” thank-you．

I didn't have time to call anyone on my latest found cell phone．I was pouring myself coffee when it started to shake and dance across the kitchen counter．

“Who's this?” someone asked when I picked up．

“Who's this?” I countered（反問）．“Sarah?”

She was surprised at my knowing her name until she realized her name was on the credit card．“Could you send them to me?” she asked．

She lives in Arlington, which is 2 miles from my house．

“Hmm, no, ”I replied, adding that I thought she could come to get them, and that if I wasn't at home, they would be in my mailbox．

A day later, when I was out for a run, someone got them back．There wasn't even a piece of paper put in the mailbox with “Thanks” on it．In this age of e-mail and cell phone, there's really no excuse．Years ago, I found something more precious than a $100 bill on the street：a driver's license．I saw  that its owner lived a couple of blocks from me, so I called him up．He asked whether I could slip the license through his front door．

“I guess I could, ”I replied．

And that was that．

選擇恰當?shù)闹黝}句

Read the following text and choose the most suitable topic sentence from A—E for each paragraph. There is an extra one which you do not need.

A. l don’t really know my daughter，for she isn’t easy to get on with.

B. We were closest when she was about four，which I think is a wonderful age for a child.

C. I’m very pleased to have Carmen.

D. My first wife and I only had one child.

E. I’ve always wanted the best for her.

Family Matters

Oliver Darrow, actor, talks about his daughter, Carmen．

72   It might have been nice to have more. I would have liked a son，but we just had Carmen.

I see her as my best friend. I think she always comes to me first if she has a problem. We have the same sense of humour and share many interests，except that she’s crazy about animals，obsessed with them-she has always had dogs，cats，and horses in her life.

73    That’s when they need their parents most．But as soon as Carmen went to school，she seemed to grow up and grow apart from her family, and any father finds it difficult with a teenage daughter. She was very moody and had an odd group of friends. There was an endless stream of strange young men coming to our house. I remember I once got annoyed with her in front of her friends and she didn’t talk to me for days. 

74  We sent her to a good school, but she wasn’t happy there. She left because she  wanted to become an actress. So with my connections I got her into drama school. but she didn’t like that either. She worked for a while，doing small roles in films, but she must have found it boring because she gave it up，though she never really said why. She got married a few years ago; her husband’s a vet.  They must be happy because they work together. and she loves animals.

We have the same tastes in books and music，When she was younger I used to take her to the opera-that’s nay passion-but she can’t have liked it very much because she hasn’t come with me for years. I don’t think she goes to the cinema or watches TV much. She might watch my films. but I don’t know. It’s not the kind of thing she talks to me about.

75  ．She’s a good daughter, but I don’t think she likes my new wife very much because she doesn’t visit us very often. I’m looking forward to being a grandfather one day. I hope she’ll have a son.
