When I looked at the grade on my math paper my jaw almost dropped to the ground: a big “65” in bright red ink. I had never received such a terrible grade before.
I was so ashamed that when I got home that afternoon I lied to my dad. I told him I got 85 and that the report wouldn’t come until the end of the month. Dad smiled. His daughter would never lie about her grade, so he didn’t doubt the unusual delay of my report.
A month later, Dad casually asked me again about the report at the dinner table. He looked right into my eyes and asked for an answer. Having no choice, I told him that I had in fact got just 65 in my math final. I had lied because I didn’t want to let him down.
For a moment, he just looked at me. I would have preferred a telling off than that silence. Finally, Dad said, in a hurt voice, “You have already let me down, with your lie. I am not disappointed at your math score. That is no big deal – no one can be perfect all the time. But I am very disappointed in you. If you can’t be honest with your dad, who can you be honest with? It’s much easier to achieve a better grade than rebuild someone else’s trust in you.”
Dad’s words touched my heart. I couldn’t forgive myself for having hurt his feelings. I took out the report that I had been hiding for weeks, handed to him and apologized, sincerely. I realized that my honesty is not only important to me personally, but to those around me that truly care about my well-being.
In one of Shakespeare’s plays a character says: “No legacy is so rich as honesty.” After the crisis between Dad and me, I began to understand those words.

After  40  , I finally told him I wanted to be  41  . He just sat there , speechless and didn’t even know            __42__to say to make me stay . Finally , he spoke ,“What can I do to change your 43 ?”
“I’ll stay if you have a good answer  44 this question,” I replied coldly�！癐f I asked for a  45 
growing on a cliff, and getting it for me   46 certain death, would you still do so ?”

With tears   54from my eyes , I opened the door. And there he was , with an extremely worried look on his face, waving the packet he had in his hand in front of me.

Finally, Ted followed the anxious Spotty. The little dog led the man to a  45  spot a half mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie  46 , one of his hind legs stuck in a steel leg hold trap.

Spotty had done more than simply  48  Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the  49  dog. Ted found some dog food---which was later  50  as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that  516  !
Spotty had been visiting Brownie  52 , in a single-minded quest to keep his friend alive by offering his own comfort. Spotty had obviously stayed with Brownie to protect him from being hurt, snuggling(依偎) with him at night to keep him  53  and touching him gently with its nose to keep his spirits up.
Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian and he re-covered. For many years afterward, the two  54  watched the faithful friends frolicking(嬉戲) 55  chasing each other down that well-worn path between their houses.

I shall never forget the night，a few years ago，when Marion J．Douglas was a student in one of my adult­education classes. He told us how tragedy had struck at his home，not once，but twice. The first time he had lost his five­year­old daughter. He and his wife thought they couldn’t bear that first loss；but，as he said，“Ten months later，God gave us another little girl and she died in five days.”
This double bereavement was almost too much to bear. “I couldn’t take it，” this father told us，“I couldn’t sleep，eat，rest or relax. My nerves were entirely shaken and my confidence gone. ”At last he went to doctors；one recommended sleeping pills and another recommended a trip，but neither helped. He said，“My body felt as if it was surrounded in a vice (大鉗子)，and the jaws of the vice were being drawn tighter and tighter.” The tension of grief (悲傷)—if you have ever been paralyzed (使癱瘓) by sorrow，you know what he meant.
“But thank God，I had one child left—a four­year­old son. He gave me the solution to my problem. One afternoon as I sat around feeling sorry for myself，he asked，‘Daddy，will you build a boat for me？’ I was in no mood to build a boat；in fact，I was in no mood to do anything. But my son is a persistent little fellow！I had to give in. Building that toy boat took me about three hours. By the time it was finished，I realized that those three hours spent building that boat were first hours of mental relaxation and peace that I had had in months！I realized that it is difficult to worry while you are busy doing something that requires planning and thinking. In my case，building the boat had knocked worry out of the ring. So I determined to keep busy.”
“The following night，I made a list of jobs that ought to be done. Scores of items needed to be repaired. Amazingly，I had made a list of 242 items that needed attention. During the last two years I have completed  most of them. I am busy so that I have no time for worry.”
No time for worry！That is exactly what Winston Church ill said when he was working eighteen hours a day at the height of the war. When he was asked if he worried about his huge responsibilities，he said，“I am too busy. I have no time for worry.”
小題1:The underlined word “bereavement” in the second paragraph refers to________.
A．having lost a loved one
B．having lost a valuable article
C．having lost a profit­making business
D．having lost a well­paid job
小題2:Marion felt his body as if it was caught in a vice because________.
A．he couldn’t earn enough money to support his family
B．he was suffering from sleeplessness disease
C．he couldn’t get out of mental pressure
D．he felt tired of adult­education classes
小題3:Marion made a list of over 200 items that needed to be repaired because________.
A．he hadn’t been able to spare time to mend them
B．he wanted to kill his free time by repairing them
C．the items had actually been broken and needed attention
D．repairing the items helped crowd wor ry out of his mind
小題4:At the end of the passage，the author wrote about Winston Churchill in order to________.
A．prove that he followed Churchill’s example
B．support his student’s solution to his problem
C．show that he was successful in his career
D．clarify how his conclusion was reached

In a surprising discovery about where higher life can survive, scientists have found a shrimp -like creature and a jellyfish swimming beneath an Antarctic ice sheet.
About 180 meters below the ice where no light can get through, scientists had figured nothing much more than a few microbes (微生物) could exist.
That’s why a NASA team was surprised when they lowered a video camera to get the first long look at the underbelly of an ice sheet in Antarctica. A curious shrimp-like creature came swimming by and then parked itself on the camera’s cable. Scientists also pulled up a tentacle (觸須) they believe came from a jellyfish.
“We were operating on the presumption that nothing’s there.” said NASA ice scientist Robert Bindschadler. “It was a shrimp you’d enjoy having on your plate.”
“We were just gaga (狂熱的) over it,” he said when talking about the 7.5cm long, orange creature starring in their two-minute video. Technically, it’s not a shrimp. It’s a Lyssianasid amphipod, which is distantly related to the shrimp.
The video is likely to inspire experts to rethink what they know about life in harsh environments. And it has scientists thinking that if shrimp-like creatures can live below 180 meters of Antarctic ice in freezing dark water, what about other cold places? What about Europa, a frozen moon of Jupiter?
Cynan Ellis – Evans, a scientist of the British Antarctic Survey called the finding fascinating. He said it was possible the creatures swam in from far away and don’t live there permanently.
But Kim, who is a co-author of the study, doubts it. “The site in West Antarctica is at least 19 km from open seas. Bindschadler drilled a 20 cm-wide hole and was looking at a tiny amount of water. That means it’s unlikely that two creatures swam from great distances and were captured randomly in that small area,” she said.
“Yet scientists were puzzled at what the food source would be for these creatures. While some microbes can make their own food out of chemicals in the ocean, complex life like the shrimp can’t,” Kim said.
“So how do they survive? That’s the key question.” Kim said.
“It’s pretty amazing when you find a huge puzzle like that on a planet where we thought we know everything.” Kim said.
小題1:. Scientists had believed that harsh environments could only have been populated by ______ .
A．jellyfishB．mammals C．microbesD．shrimp-like creatures
小題2:According to Kim, the shrimp-like creature _________ .
A．swam great distances to AntarcticB．has always lived in the area
C．gradually evolved from shrimpsD．has nothing in common with shrimps
小題3:The finding is significant in that __________.
A．it marks NASA’S first Antarctic biological study
B．it proves there is marine life in the Antarctic
C．it could inspire further study of life in harsh environments
D．it shows that Lyssianasid amphipod is closely related to shrimps
小題4:. The last three paragraphs suggest that __________.
A．researchers will look at the places the creatures came from
B．ice scientists will drill deeper to find more creatures
C．scientists know very little about the planet they live on
D．further research will be done about what the creatures live on
