The simplest way to say it is this: I believe in my mother. My  36 began when I was just a kid. I   37  becoming a doctor.
My mother was a domestic. Through her work, she observed that  38 people spent a lot more time reading than they  39   watching television. She announced that my brother and I  40 watch two to three pre-selected TV programs during the week. With our free time, we had to read two books each from the Detroit Public Library and 41 her written book reports. She would mark them up with check marks and highlights. Years later, we realized her marks were a  42 . My mother was Illiterate(不識字的，文盲的)。
When I entered high school I was a(n) 43  , but not for long. I wanted the fancy clothes.  I wanted to  44 the guys. I went from being an A-student to a B-student to a C-student. One night my mother came home from  45  her various jobs and I complained about not having enough Italian knit shirts. She said, “Okay, I’ll give you all the money I make this week scrubbing floors and cleaning bathrooms, and you can buy  46 food and pay the bills. With everything  47 , you can have all the Italian knit shirts you want.” I was very  48  with that arrangement but once I got through distributing money, there was  49 left. I realized my mother was a financial genius to be able to  50 our heads and any kind of food on the table, 51  buy clothes. I also realized that immediate satisfaction wasn’t going to get me anywhere. Success required intellectual preparation. I went back to my  52 and became an A-student again, and eventually I  53 my dream and I became a doctor.
My story is really my mother’s story—a woman with  54  formal education or property who used her position as a parent to change the lives of many people around the globe. There is no job  55 than parenting.（養(yǎng)育） This I believe.

Are you still wishing your friends and partners “Happy New Year”? In the first few days of a new year, we say these three words countless times. The ___16___ is that we say them almost without thinking. The result of such a wish is that it ___17___ its meaning and power.
Last month, I ___18___ Dada J P Vaswani’s first speech after his return from the US. The ___19___ of his speech was “In 2012, all will be fine”. While sharing one of his many ___20___ ideas, he said that while “Happy New Year” is a nice greeting, there’s a more beautiful and encouraging way to ___21___ others—“Happy New You!”
Those three ___22___ words show that New Year is a time to leave behind our ___23___ and step forward. It’s the time to renew ourselves by getting rid of the negative things of the past — ___24___, pain and so on. It’s also the right time to give up thoughts of fear and failure.
For those who are ___25___ what to change, Dada has a simple suggestion: write down all the things that you don’t ___26___ about yourself… every single one. They could be small or big, easy or difficult — ___27___ write them all down. Putting them on ___28___ brings clearness of thought, which is the first step towards bringing about any change.
So this New Year, let’s wish each other “Happy New You” and then ___29___ that trend all through the year. Each time you wish others, you will be ___30___ not only them but also yourself to leave behind sadness and the past — because it’s time for being Happy and New.

  49 ，he supported himself up on one elbow （胳膊）to take the first look．But to his  50 ，he could see nothing but a  51 wall．

So Bill began to describe the  55 world to his new roommate that he saw through the only window of the room.

Time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable, whether you are a book-lover or merely you are there to buy a book as a present. You may even have entered the shop just to find shelter from a sudden shower. Whatever the reason, you can soon become totally unaware of your surroundings. You soon become engrossed in some book or other, and usually it is only much later that you realise you have spent far too much time there and must dash off to keep some forgotten appointment—without buying a book, of course.
This opportunity to escape the realities of everyday life is, I think, the main attraction of a bookshop. There are not many places where it is possible to do this. You can wander round such places to your heart's content. If it is a good shop, no assistant will disturb you with usual greetings, "Can I help you, sir?" Of course you may want to find out where a particular section is. Then, and only then, are his services necessary. However, when he has led you there, the assistant should retire carefully and look as if he is not interested in selling a single book.
You have to be careful not to be attracted by the variety of books in a bookshop. It is very easy to enter the shop looking for a book on ancient coins and to come out carrying a copy of the latest best-selling novel. This sort of thing can be very dangerous. Apart from running up a huge account, you can waste a great deal of time wandering from section to section.
小題1:.
. Which may not be included in the writer's experiences while he is in a bookshop?
A．Getting relaxed without buying a book.
B．Quarrelling with the shop assistant.
C．Buying other books instead of those he wanted.
D．Forgetting some important appointment.
小題2:.
. What does the writer mean by saying "time spent in a bookshop can be most enjoyable"?
A．You may free yourself from the real life.
B．Reading is free of charge there.
C．There is nobody disturbing you there.
D．You can enter without any certain reason.
小題3:.
What does the underlined wordengrossed most probably mean in the first paragraph?
A．Lost.B．Forbidden.C．Puzzled.D．Impressed.
小題4:.
. The writer wrote the passage in order to ________.
A．suggest a good way of running a bookshop
B．encourage people to do some reading in bookshops
C．share his experience in bookshops
D．give some advice on buying books in a bookshop

Last August, Joe and Mary Mahoney began looking at colleges for their 17-year-old daughter, Maureen. With a checklist of criteria (衡量標準)in hand, the Dallas family looked around the country visiting half a dozen schools. They sought a university that offered the teenager’s intended major, one located near a large city, and a campus where their daughter would be safe.
“The safety issue is a big one,” says Joe Mahoney, who quickly discovered he wasn’t alone in his worries. On campus tours other parents voiced similar concerns, and the same question was always asked: what about crime? But when college officials always gave the same answer -----“That’s not a problem here,”-----Mahoney began to feel uneasy.
“No crime whatever?” comments Mahoney today. “I just don’t buy it.” Nor should he: in 1999 the U.S. Department of education had reports of nearly 400,000 serious crimes on or around our campuses. “Parents need to understand that times have changed since they went to college,” says David Nichols, author of Creating a Safe Campus. “Campus crime mirrors the rest of the nation.”
But getting accurate information isn’t easy. Colleges must report crime statistics(統(tǒng)計數(shù)字) by law, but some hold back for fear of bad publicity（關注）, leaving the honest ones looking dangerous. “The truth may not always be serious,” warns S. Daniel Carter of Security on Campus, Inc., the nation’s leading campus safety watchdog group.
To help concerned parents, Carter promised to visit campuses and talk to experts around the country to find out major crime issues and effective solutions.
小題1:It is often difficult to get correct information on campus crime because some colleges ____.
A．receive too many visitorsB．mirror the rest of the nation
C．hide the truth of campus crimeD．have too many watchdog groups
小題2:The underlined word “buy” in the third paragraph means _____.
A．mindB．a(chǎn)dmitC．believeD．expect
小題3: We learn from the text that “the honest ones” in the fourth paragraph most probably refers to colleges _____.
A．that are protected by campus securityB．that report campus crimes by law
C．that are free from campus crimeD．that enjoy very good publicity
小題4:What is the text mainly about?
A．Exact campus crime statistics.B．Crimes on or around campuses.
C．Effective solutions to campus crime.D．Concerns about kids’ campus safety.
