Not many years ago, a   1    (wealth) and rather strange old man named Johnson lived alone in a village in the south of England. He had made a lot of money in  　　2     (trade) with foreign countries. When he was seventy-five, he gave £ 12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.
    As a result of his     3     (kind), many people came to visit him.    4    them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was seventy-five and expected   5        (live) to be a hundred. The newspaperman asked him     6     he managed to be healthy at seventy-five. Johnson liked whisky (威士忌酒) and drank some each day. He had   7     good sense of humor. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening.”, he told the newspaperman,      8      (think) of his evening glass of whisky.
    The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson    9    (mean). In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was seventy-five and had a    10   (day) injection in his neck. Within a week, Johnson received thousands of letters from people throughout Britain, in the hope of getting the secret of his injection.

Once, a rich man was near death. He was very upset because he had worked so hard for his money       54     he hoped he could take it with him to heaven. So he prayed to God he might be able to take some money with him.

   55     angel heard his pray and appeared. “Sorry,      56    you can’t take your wealth with you.” The man begged the angel to speak to God to see    57      he might break the rules. The angel reappeared and said that God could allow him to take one suitcase. Feeling     58   (excite), the man gathered his suitcase and filled it     59    pure gold bars.

Afterwards, he died and showed up in heaven to greet St. Peter.       60      (see) the suitcase, St. Peter said, “Hold on, you can’t bring that here!” The man explained that he had God’s   permission. St. Peter checked it out, came back and said, “You are right. You are allowed one carry-on bag, but I’m    61    (suppose) to check its contents (内容)before  letting it through.”St. Peter opened the suitcase to inspect the things      62     the man found too precious to leave behind and exclaimed (感叹), “You brought pavement（人行道）? As you can see, the great street of the city of heaven     63     (make) of pure gold!”

Rose:What are you reading, Robert?

Robert:Iˈm reading the bookThe Story ofMy Life,   (1)  (write) by HelenKeller.

Rose:I know the great writer. She was thefirst deaf-blind person   (2)   (get)a degree from    college. But was she blindwhen she was born?

Robert:No. When Keller was nineteenmonths old, a fever took her into a darkand voiceless world,   only   (3)   (leave) her with the sense of feeling.

Rose:But to everyoneˈs   (4)   (astonish), she made full use of this senseand   (5)    (accomplish) a lot inher life.

Robert:Right. Though Keller was blind, shenever lost heart. She regarded it as a test    (6)      God had given her. In her88 years of life she wrote   (7)   total of 12 published books     and severalarticles.

Rose:In order to give Keller education, herfamily found a teacher for her. What washer name?

Robert:Anne Sullivan. She taught Kellerhow to read, write, and most    (8)    (important), how       to feel and interpret theoutside world.
     (9)   the help ofSullivan, Keller built up an       optimisticattitude towards life.   (10)   wasshe who changed Kellerˈs whole life and   allowed her to contributetoliterature as agreat writer.

It is unfair for parents to blame schools for the   (1)  (fail) of their children’s education. Many parents do not prepare their children for school. It is up   (2)   the parents to take time to educate their children, beginning with teaching them their ABC’s, name, address, telephone number, and most   (3)  (important), manners and respect for others.

Knowing how to read builds   (4)  (confident), and a hunger to learn more, when you are a child. You can’t wait until you get a letter from the child’s teacher   (5)  (tell) you that your child is failing before you step in. You need to prepare that child as early as possible for school.

My daughter began reading at the age of three. Receiving books in the mail   (6)  (strengthen) her desire to want to learn how to read. Reading is the key. Once a child learns how to read, it will open up many   (7)  (chance) for self motivation to learn, and everything comes easy for that child   (8)   knows how to read.

Just don’t be   (9)   absentee parent. Once children get well   (10)  (educate), that is something no one can ever take away from them.

One day, Bruce invited his friends to supper. He was cooking some delicious food in the kitchen. Suddenly, he     61     (find) that he had run out of salt. So Bruce called to his son，“Go to the village and buy some salt，but pay a fair price for it: neither too much     62    too little.”

His son looked surprised.  “I can understand why I shouldn’t pay too much, Father, but

    63     I can pay less, why not save a bit of money?”

“That would be a very     64     (reason) thing to do in a big city, but it could destroy a small village like ours,” Bruce said.

Bruce’s guests,     65     had heard their conversation, asked why they should not buy salt more cheaply if they could. Bruce replied，“The only reason     66     a man would sell salt at a lower price would be that he was very eager for money. And anyone who made use     67    this situation would be showing a lack of respect     68     the sweat and struggle of the man who worked very hard to produce it.”

“But such a small thing couldn’t possibly destroy a village.”

“In the beginning, there was only     69     very small amount of unfairness in the world，but everyone added a little，always    70     (think) that it was only small and not very important，and look what the world is like today.”
