Behind our house is the start of a fascinating trail (小径). This trail is one of the old roads
that wind through untold miles of forest. My 36 , Beans, and I walk the trail frequently.
Normally, Beans sniffs alongside the trail to follow the smell of a deer track or 37 some cause
known only to him.
Beans is a white dog, quite handsome and very 38 . He not only understands what we tell
him, but also often makes sounds as if he were trying to 39 back.
One morning, we took a different route, which led us to an unfamiliar trail. I was sure this trail
would eventually lead us to our familiar 40 . But, no. We seemed to be far off course. After two
hours, I suddenly realized that Beans probably 41 the way home. So I urged, "Beans, take me
home." He ran down a new trail. But it merely led to an intersection (岔道口) of trails.
Soon it became 42 that we were getting nowhere. I began to picture the rest of the day in the
43 , without food or drink. We had walked about ten miles. But Beans seemed totally 44 . The
sniffing and exploring was going well for him.
Finally, we 45 a crossroad near a highway. Lady Luck suggested I should turn left. We did
and 46 reached a cottage beside a field. I knocked on the door and explained my situation to an
old man. He laughed and then drove us home.
Since our adventure, I 47 that Beans probably knew all along how to get home. He was just
having too much fan exploring new trails.

Michelle, 17 who 32 the first program. “And I was able to help my little brother 33 drugs.”
Moody faces 34 in three years, when he hopes to run the foundation full-time.”I’m living a happy

he can teach his brother to fish tomorrow.”

I was on my lunch break and had 26 the office to get something to eat . On the way, I 27a
busker(街头艺人)，with a hat in front of him. I had some 28 in my pocket, but I would not give
them to him, thinking to myself he would 29 use the money to feed his addiction to drugs or
alcohol. He 30 like that type-young and ragged. 31 what was I going to spend the money on? Only
to feed my addiction to Coca-Cola or chocolate! I then 32 I had no right to place myself above 33
just because he was busking.
I 34 and dropped all the coins into his 35, and he smiled at me, I watched for a while. As 36 as it
sounds, I expected something more to come from that moment—a feeling of 37 or satisfaction, for
example. But nothing happened 38 , I walked off. “It proved to be a waste of 39 ,”I thought.
On my way home at the end of the 40, I saw the busker again and he was 41 . I watched him pick
up the hat and walk 42 a cafe counter. There he poured the 43 contents into a tin collecting 44 an
earthquake fund-raising(募捐) event. He was busking for charity(慈善)！
Now I donate any 45 I have to charity tins and enjoy the feeling of giving.

had one __38__, to be honest, I found it extremely __39_ to use at first. I would look up words in
the dictionary and _40__ not fully understand the meaning. I was used to the __41__ bilingual
dictionaries, in which the words are _42__ both in English and Chinese. I really wondered why
my aunt __43_ to make things so difficult for me. Now, after studying English at university for
three years, I _44__ that monolingual dictionaries are __45_ in learning a foreign language
As I found out, there is __46_ often no perfect equivalence(对应)between two _47___ in two

meaning. ____52__, I have come to see what she meant.
Using a monolingual dictionary for learners has helped me in another important way. This
dictionary uses a(n) 53 number of words, around 2, 000, in its definitions. When I read these
definitions, I am 54 exposed to（接触）the basic words and learn how they are used to
explain objects and ideas. 55 this, I can express myself more easily in English.

I met Mrs. Neidl in the ninth grade on a stage-design team for a play and she was one of the
directors. Almost instantly I loved her. She had an Unpleasant voice and a direct way of speaking,
36 she was encouraging and inspiring. For some reason, she was impressed with my work and
me.
Mrs. Neidl would ask me for my 37 . She wanted to know how I thought we should 38
things. At first I had no idea how to answer because I knew 39 about stage design! But I slowly
began to respond to her 40 . It was cause and effect: She believed I had opinions, so I began to
41 them. She trusted me to complete things, so I completed them perfectly. She loved how 42 I
was, so I began to show up to paint more and more. She believed in me, so I began to believe in
myself.
Mrs. Neidl's 43 that year was, "Try it. We can always paint over it 44 !"I began to take
45 . I had been so afraid of failing but suddenly there was no failing--only things to be 46 upon.
I learned to dip my brush into the paint and 47 create something.
The shy, quiet freshman achieved success that year. I was 48 in the program
as "Student Art Assistant" because of the time and effort I'd put in. It was that year that I 49 I
wanted to spend the rest of my life doing stage design. www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing
B eing on that stage-design team 50 Mrs. Neidl changed me completely. Not only was I
stronger and more competent than I had thought, but I also 51 a strong interest and a world I
hadn't known existed. She taught me not to 52 what people think I should do: She taught me to
take chances and not be 53 . Mrs. Neidl was my comforter when I was upset. Her 54 in me
has inspired me to do things that I never imagined 55 . www.ks5u.com/gaokao/beijing

I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would not
be _21_ Christmas gifts because there was not enough money. I felt sad and thought, “What would
I say when the other kids asked what I’d 22 ?” Just when I started to 23 that there would not be
a Christmas that year, three women 24 at our house with gifts for all of us. For me they brought a
doll. I felt such a sense of 25 that I would no longer have to be embarrassed when I returned to
school. I wasn’t 26 . Somebody had thought 27 of me to bring me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, thinking how I wanted to make my
28 Christmas there special and memorable, I 29 remembered the women’s visit. I decided that I
wanted to create that same feeling of 30 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I 31 a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about 125
orphans (孤儿) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages filled with
toys, clothes, and school supplies, 32 with a child’s name. We wanted all of them to know they

were 33 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I 34 them that they
couldn’t open their presents 35 every child had come forward. Finally the 36 they had been
waiting for came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened
their packages, their faces beamed and their bright smiles 37 up the room. The 38 in the room
was obvious, and 39 wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling –the feeling I knew 40 that
Christmas so long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of
me. I matter.

I used to hate being called upon in class mainly because I didn’t like attention drawn to
myself. And 36 otherwise assigned（指定）a seat by the teacher, I always 37 to sit at the
back of the classroom.
All this 38 after I joined a sports team. It began when a teacher suggested I try out for the
basketball team. At first I thought it was a crazy 39 because I didn’t have a good sense of
balance, nor did I have the 40 to keep pace with the others on the team and they would tease
me. But for the teacher who kept insisting on my “ 41 for it”, I wouldn’t have decided to give a
try.
Getting up the courage to go to the tryouts was only the 42 of it! When I first started 43
the practice sessions, I didn’t even know the rules of the game, much 44 what I was doing.
Sometimes I’d get 45 and take a shot at the wrong direction—which made me feel really
stupid. 46 , I wasn’t the only one “new” at the game, so I decided to 47 on learning the
game, do my best at each practice session, and not be too hard on myself for the things I didn’t
48 “just yet”.
I practiced and practiced. Soon I knew the 49 and the “moves”. Being part of a team was
fun and motivating. Very soon the competitive 50 in me was winning over my lack of
confidence. With time, I learned how to play and made friends in the 51 — friends who
respected my efforts to work hard and be a team player. I never had so much fun!
With my 52 self-confidence comes more praise from teachers and classmates. I have gone
from “53” in the back of the classroom and not wanting to call attention to myself, 54 raising
my hand— even when I sometimes wasn’t and not 100 percent 55 I had the right answer. Now I
have more self-confidence in myself.

explosion, as the first members of the band ___44____ the stage. My brother leaned over and
shouted something in my ear, but I couldn’t ____45___ what he was saying. The first song was
already starting and the music was as ____46___ a jet engine. I could ___47____ the drum beats
and bass notes in my stomach.

didn’t want it to _ 49_. But in the end, after three encores (加演), the show finished. We left the
50_ and walked unsteadily out onto the pavement. I felt a little dizzy, as if I had just 51_from a
long sleep. My ears were still 52_with the beat of the last song.
After the 53 , I became a Black Wednesday fan too for a few years before getting into other kinds
of music. Once in a while, 54_, I listen to one of their songs and 55_I’m back at that first show.

This year I decided to do something to regain my good name as a kindly uncle. My
36
Tony,had never forgiven me for the dictionary I had bought him as a birthday
present last year. His 37
had no reason to be thankful to me either,because the year
before, I had

Instead of

them into a book, Tony had naturally covered every wall in the house

helplessly and pointed out that there were so many

dressed in strange orange clothes.
He was wearing a false beard and had a caveman’s axe(斧子)in one hand,and a space

I could hear everyone whispering.“Who in our school could draw __50__ well？”

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life
第 78 页 / 共 115 页
can be 36 when you are not busy finding fault with it.
Several years ago I 37 a letter from seventeen-year-old Kerry, who described
herself as a world-class fault-finder, almost always 38 by things. People were always
doing things that annoyed her, and 39 was ever good enough. She was highly self-
critical and also found fault with her friends. She became a really 40 person.
Unfortunately, it took a horrible accident to change her 41 Her best friend was
seriously hurt in a car crash. What made it almost 42 to deal with was that the day
before the 43 , Kerry had visited her friend and had spent the whole time criticizing
her 44 of boyfriends, the way she was living, the way she related to her mother, and
various other things she felt she needed to 45 It wasn't until her friend was badly hurt
that Kerry became 46 her habit of finding fault. Very quickly, she learned to
appreciate life rather than to 47 everything so harshly ( 刻薄) . She was able to
transfer her new wisdom to other parts of her 48 as well.
Perhaps most of us aren't as extreme at fault-finding, 49 when we're honest, we
can be sharply 50 of the world. I'm not suggesting you 51 problems, or that you
pretend things are 52 than they are, but simply that you learn to allow things to be as
they are— 53 most of the time, and especially when it's not a really big 54 .
Train yourself to "bite your tongue" , and with a little 55, you'll get really good at
letting things go. And when you do, you'll get back your enthusiasm and love for life.

Nenana. From there, dogeled(狗拉雪橇)drivers—known as “mushers”—would 45 it to Nome in

On January 31,a musher named Seppala had to 47 a frozen body of water called Norton
Sound .It was the most 48 part of the journey. Norton Sound was covered with ice,which could
sometimes break up without warning.If that happened,Seppala might fall into the icy water
below.He would 49 ,and so would the sick children of Nome.But Seppala made it across.
A huge snowstorm hit on February 1.Amusher named Kaasen had to brave this storm.At one
point,huge piles of sonw blocked his 50 .He had to leave the trail ( 雪橇痕迹)to get around
them.Conditions were so bad that it was impossible for him to 51 the trail again. The only hope
was Balto,Kaasen’s lead dog, Balto put his nose to the ground, 52 to find the smell of other dogs
that had traveled on the trail.If Balto failed,it would mean disaster for Nome.The minutes passed
by.Suddenly, Balto began to 53 .He had found the trail.

When I was13 my only purpose was to become the star on our football team.That meant 21
Miller King,who was the best 22 at our school.
Football season started in September and all summer long I worked out.I carried my football

Just before September,Miller was struck by a car and lost his right arm.I went to see him after
he came back from 24 .He looked very 25 ,but he didn’t cry.
That season,I 26 all of Miller`srecords while he 27 the home games from the bench.We
went 10-1 and I was named most valuable player, 28 I often had crazy dreams in which I was to
blame for Miller’s 29 .
One afternoon,I was crossing the field to go home and saw Miller 30 going over a fence—
which wasn’t 31 to climb if you had both arms.I’m sure I was the last person in the world he
wanted to accept 32 from.But even that challenge he accepted.I 33 him move slowly over the
fence.When we were finally 34 on the other side,he said to me,＂You know,I didn’t tell you this
during the season,but you did 35 .Thank you for filling in for 36 .＂

The journey my daughter Cathy has had with her swimming is as long as it is beautiful.
Cathy suffered some terrible 16 in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she 17
became healthy.
Two years ago, while Cathy was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head
—to be a swimmer. Last summer, she wanted to 18 out local swim team. She practiced hard and
finally 19 it. The team practice, 20 was a rough start. She coughed and choked and could hardly

21 her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to 22 her from it all.
But Cathy woke me up early next morning, wearing her swimsuit 23 to go! I told her she
shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to 24 and insisted she go .
From that day on, Cathy kept swimming and didn’t 25 a single practice. She had a 26
intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten—year—old was growing and changing
right before my eyes, into this 27 human being with a passion and a mission. There were
moments of 28 of course: often she would be the last swimmer in the race. It was difficult for
Cathy to accept that she wasn’t a 29 ---ever. But that didn’t stop her from trying.
Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Cathy didn’t expect any award but
was still there to 30 her friends and praise their accomplishments. As the ceremony was nearing
the end, I suddenly heard the head coach 31 , “The highest honor goes to Cathy!” Looking
around, he continued, “Cathy has inspired us with her 32 and enthusiasm. 33 skills and talents
bring great success, the most valuable asset(财富)one can hold is the heart.”
It was the greatest 34 of my daughter’s life. With all she had been 35 in her ten years, this was
the hour of true triumph(成功).

Lainey finished third grade. She had good grades and could read 21 grade level, but she did
not like to read. On a family car trip, her Aunt Dede pulled out a copy of Harry Potter, as a
surprise for her 22 . But Lainey took one look at it, 23 her eyes, and said, “Borring!”
Aunt Dede, a teacher, had read the book to her students, and they loved it. 24 the youngest
children in the class were 25 by the story. They 26 with great interest and then 27 joined in
grand conversations about Harry`s adventures.
“How can you say it`s 28 ? Have you read it? ” asked Aunt Dede.
“No, it`s too long and it doesn`t have any 29 .” complained Lainey.
“Oh, that`s where you are 30 ;there are lots of pictures. Every page is full of pictures; you
just have to read the words to 31 them. It`s like magic.”
“Nice try , Aunt Dede,”Lainey replied 32 from the back seat.
Another 33 was in order. “Well, if you don’t want to read it, give it34 .Maybe your mom
would 35 hearing the story.” The book sailed through the air to Aunt Dede and she began to read it
aloud. By the end of the first chapter,36 were coming from the back seat:“Please read a little37.”
Lainey is an example of an 38reader. As shown here, Lainey can become 39 about reading
when 40 with literature on topics that interest her, and when the people around her model
involvement in the reading process.

During the war,my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California.I went to

I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was 26 and coming back

with just two lines-two lines that will always sing in my 29 - two lines that completely changed
my life :
Two men looked out from prison bars
One saw the mud ,the other saw the stars
I read those two lines 30 I was ashamed of myself. I made up my mind I would find out
what was good in my present 31 ; I would look for the stars.
I made friends with the natives,and their 32 amazed me. They gave me presents of their

While high school does not generally encourage students to explore new
aspects of life, college sets the stage for that exploration. I myself went
through this 41 process and found something that has changed my 42 at

I never felt an urge to 43 any sign language before. My entire family is
hearing, and so are all my friends. The 44 languages were enough in all my
interactions(交往).Little did I know that I would discover my 45 for ASL.

Hannah Taylor is a schoolgirl from Manitoba, Canada. One day, when she was
five years old, she was walking with her mother in downtown Winnipeg. They saw
a man
36
out of a garbage can. She asked her mother why he did that and
her mother said that the man was homeless and hungry. Hannah was very
37
.She couldn't understand why some people had to live their lives without
shelter or enough food. Hannah started to think about how she could
38
,but,of course, there is not a lot one five-year-old can do to solve(解决)the
problem of homelessness.
Later ,when Hannah attended school, she saw another homeless person. It was
a woman,
39
an old shopping trolley（购物车）which was piled with
40
.
It seemed that everything the woman owned was in them. This made Hannah very
sad, and even more
41
to do something. She had been talking to her mother
about the lives of homeless people
42
they first saw the homeless man. Her
mother told her that if she did something to change the problem that made her
sad, she wouldn’ t
43
as bad.
Hannah began to speak out about the homelessness in Manitoba and then in
other provinces. She hoped to 44
her message of hope and awareness. She started
the Ladybug Foudation ,an organization aiming at getting rid of homelessness.
She began to
45
“Big Bosses” lunches, where she would try to persuade
local business leaders to 46
to the cause. She also organized a fundraising(募
捐)drive in “Ladybug Jars” to collect everyone`s spare change during “Make
Change” month. More recently, the foundation began another 47
called
National Red Scarf Day—a day when people donate $20 and wear red scarves in
第 96 页 / 共 115 页
support of Canada`s 48
and homeless.
There is an emergency shelter in Winnipeg called “ Hannah`s Place”,
something that Hannah is very 49
of. Hannah`s Place is divided into several
areas, providing shelter for people when it is so cold that
50
outdoors can
mean death. In the more than five years since Hannah began her activities, she
has received a lot of 51
.For example, she received the 2007 BRICK Award
recognizing the
52
of young people to change the world. But
53
all
this, Hannah still has the
54
life of a Winnipeg schoolgirl, except that
she pays regular visits to homeless people.
Hannah is one of many examples of young people who are making a 55 in
the world. You can,too!

At my heaviest I weighed 370 pounds. I had a very poor relationship with food:
I used it to 16
bad feelings, to make myself feel better, and to celebrate.
Worried about my health, I tried many different kinds of

worked. I came to believe that I could do nothing about my

weight any more.
That year, I

would touch the world. A seminar leader shared her

and healing the world 26

sent letters to everyone I knew, telling them about my project. It worked
perfectly. Donations began

Of course, I also took some practical steps to lose weight. I consulted
with a physician（内科医生）, I hired a fitness coach, and I began to eat small
