My daughter Alisa has had a long journey of swimming

which is also beautiful. Alisa suffered some terrible illness in her early childhood. After years of regular treatment, she (75) became healthy.

Two years ago, while Alisa was watching the Olympics, a dream came into her sweet little head—to be a swimmer. Last

summer, she wanted to join our local swim team. She practiced hard and finally made it. The team practice, (76) , was a hard start. She coughed and could hardly survive(幸存) her first few weeks. Hearing her coughing bitterly one night, I decided to pull her from it all. But Alisa woke me up early next morning, wearing her

swimsuit ready to go! I told her she shouldn’t swim after a whole night’s coughing, but she refused to (77) and insisted she should go. From that day on, Alisa kept swimming and didn’t miss a single practice. She had a firm(坚定地) intention within herself to be the best she could be. My ten-year-old daughter was growing and changing right before my eyes, into this: determined

human being with a passion and a mission. It was difficult for Alisa to accept that she wasn’t a (78) . But that didn’t stop her from trying.

Then came the final awards ceremony at the end of the year. Alisa didn’t expect any award but was still there to cheer on her friends. As the ceremony was nearing the end, I suddenly heard the head coach (79) , “The highest honor goes to Alisa!” Looking around, he continued, “We all encouraged by her will and enthusiasm(热情). (80) skills and talents bring great success, the most valuable treasure one can hold is the heart.”

It was the greatest moment of my daughter’s life. With all she hade been through in her ten years, this was the hour of true success. 75. A) usually B) finally C) firstly D) quickly 76. A) however B) therefore C) so D) or 77. A) put up B) look up C) give up D) show up

Most of you have found the game in newspapers. Usually it has 15 letters and starts with C. Now that you have all these hints (提示), can you tell what it is? The answer is a “crossword puzzle (纵横字谜)”.

1

You may not be familiar with it, but the game is certainly p （81） in the US. First invented in 1913 by a newspaper journalist named Arthur Wynne, crossword puzzles soon became part of the country’s well-known culture. Books and video games were made about crossword puzzles. D （82） were even put on trains for players to look up the words. And over 100 years later, crossword puzzles are still loved by American people. At the end of last month, The New York Times published its l （83） puzzle in its history: a 50×50 square with 728 hints that was five times the size of the newspaper’s usual puzzles. It may take even skilled puzzle solvers days to finish it. This kind of love for a game may be hard to understand, but Merl Reagle, one of the most famous crossword creators in the US, explained it. “Crosswords are a dream e （84） that no one’s been able to take,” he once told The Washington Post. “The human mind wants a hint.” Hints are the most important part of a puzzle. They lead you r （85） to the words. In a basic Christmas-themed puzzle, for example, one of the hints could be, “Santa fills it with presents for the children.” The word here is “stocking”. There can be difficult cultural questions about subjects like Native American history. In order to c （86） the puzzles, you have to be familiar with the names of places, people, foods and even farming tools. But the puzzle is not just there to frighten players with hard-to-get hints and difficult words. It’s a game after all, so fun comes first. “You want to come up with an idea that’s fresh and interesting. And then you want to fill the crossword with as many good, lively, colorful words as you can,” Will Shortz, the crossword puzzle editor for The New York Times, told Business Insider. This is why crossword puzzles are not meant to be finished in a rush. “I put a lot of work into these jokes in the puzzle. I don’t want someone to get through it too f （87） ”, Reagle once told Wired magazine. 金山B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage.（选择

We were sitting in a restaurant, try to have a conversation, but her children, four-year-old Willow and seven-year-old Luca, would not stop fighting. The 75 — over a fork, or who had more water in a glass — never stopped.

Like a magician (魔术师) who makes a group of children quiet by pulling a rabbit out of a hat, my sister reached into her purse and took out two shiny Apple iPads, handing one to each child. Suddenly, the two were quiet. They sat playing games and watching videos, and we 76 with our conversation. After our meal, as we put the iPads back into their magic bag, my sister felt a bit 77 . “I don’t want to give them the iPads at the dinner table, but if it keeps them busy for an hour so we can eat in peace, and 78 , not disturb other people in the

restaurant, I often just give it to them,” she told me. Then she asked: “Do you think it’s bad for them? I do worry that it is making them think it’s OK to use electronics at the dinner table in the future.”

I did not have an answer, and 79 some people might have opinions, no one has a true scientific understanding of what the future might be for a generation raised on screens. Dr. Gary Small, director of the Longevity Center says we do know that the brain is highly sensitive to stimuli (刺激), like iPads and smartphone screen, and if people spend too much time with one technology, and less time acting together with people like parents at the dinner table, that could make it difficult to develop their communicative skills.

We really don’t know the full neurological (神经学上的) effects of these

technologies yet. But learning about being alone is the basis of early development. If we don’t teach our children how to be alone, maybe they’ll 80 know how to be lonely in the future. 75.

It’s as hard to be a good father as it is to be a good mother — maybe harder.

Does Father’s Day cause anxiety (紧张)? Does it make

you wish you had a better relationship with your own father—or with your own children? Was your father your friend? Your e 81 ? Or was he just a man doing his best?

Some men are excellent dads but they are not the ones you’ll see on posters for Father’s Day: they are not the smiling men full of energy, but i 82 , they are the tired and underpaid (薪水不高的) men.

My good father was one of those exhausted (疲惫不堪的) men. He spent 12 hours working hard every day w 83 complaint so that we could live in a house 3

and not in an apartment. I never thought he would show up at school plays I was in or attend the award events. Although my father didn’t feel it necessary to be p 84 to show his support, he encouraged me whole-heartedly. I a 85 his encouragement in the way he offered it and learned to play in public; it wasn’t his applause (掌声) I was looking for, after all, because I knew I already had it. To him, I had nothing to prove.

A good father loves unconditionally and allows you to understand him by actions. A b 86 dad always tells you your success is his success, your failure is his failure and he’s not there as a support or a guide but as a j 87 . To my great father, I want to say “Thank you for what you’ve given us and all you’ve done.” 静安

Why do leaves(树叶) change colour?

One of nature’s most beautiful 75 is a forest full of bright autumn colours. Imagine making art with all those colours of paint!

Leaves in their autumn colours are beautiful. Did you

ever wonder why a tree’s leaves change colour? To answer this question, you need to 76 the important job that leaves do. Leaves make food so the tree can grow and have energy. This process is called photosynthesis (光合作用). Leaves need three things to do their job.

1) Leaves need water, which they get from the tree 77 their stems (茎).

2) Leaves need a gas called carbon dioxide. They take it in from the air around them.

3) All plants 78 a chemical called chlorophyll (叶绿素) , which gives leaves their green colour. Leaves need sunlight, too. Sunlight and chlorophyll work together to turn water and carbon dioxide into a kind of sugar. This sugar is the food that

provides plants 79 energy. When they make food, trees give off a gas called oxygen. Animals need oxygen to live.

Photosynthesis doesn’t just help plants stay alive. Photosynthesis 80 makes food for all living things. Some animals, such as mice, eat plants. Other animals, such as hawks, eat the plant eaters. Without plants, what would hawks do for food? 75. A) records B) animals C) sights D) manners 76. A) prevent B) include C) control D) understand 77. A) through B) with C) above D) beside 78. A) keep off B) rely on C) turn into D) give up 79. A) impossible B) useless C) convenient D) necessary 80. A) almost B) also C) hardly D) seldom

Attending a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to a university to study and train for a future job in subjects like law, medicine, or education. But, the university isn’t a modern invention. An important o 81 started in Egypt a thousand years ago.

The world’s oldest surviving university, Al-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque (清真寺) in A.D. 972 to r 82 the daughter of the king Muhammad. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the

mosque. They read and talked about the subjects of religion

(宗教) and law. Around the year 988, leaders in the city of Cairo decided to create a school for higher learning and soon a 83 that, Al-Azhar University was started. Because a university was a new idea, the teachers at Al-Azhar needed to think about what courses to teach and h 84 to teach them. The earliest courses were in law and religions. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there were hot and free d 85 among them, too. Often, there was no “correct” answer to a

question. In the years that followed, the new university attracted scholars from around the world who came to teach and do research. At Al-Azhar, people not only studied the past, but it was a place for s 86 new ideas with each other as well. Over a thousand years later, Al-Azhar is still an important university in the world because its library keeps many of the world’s oldest and most p 87 books. Today many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the same traditions as they do at Al-Azhar.

Do you know who Lewis Carroll is? Yes! You are right. He is the writer of the famous story—Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Many people described Lewis Carroll as shy. He wasn’t very good in social situations. He didn’t talk much. One of his college students even said his classes were extremely

75 . But children thought very differently of him. When he was with children, he was funny and imaginative. He 76 puzzles and games, and created stories that children loved.

Those children included Alice, the daughter of a colleague, and her two sisters, Lorina and Edith.

It seems that Lewis Carrol was a wild flower that only bloomed when children were around.

“Tell us a 77 , please, Mr. Dodgson,” the three girls asked.

“Alice was beginning to get very 78 sitting by her sister on the side of the river and of having nothing to do. She wanted to do something new and happy. Suddenly, a white rabbit with pink eyes ran close by her,” he began. He continued for a few minutes, and then stopped. That’s all until next time.

The girls complained, so he offered to go on. That day the stories came out 79 . He seemed relaxed in his role as storyteller and told many stories.

Lewis Carroll included Alice and her sisters in the stories with Alice as the most important character. The other characters included an Eaglet (named for Edith) and a Lory (a kind of parrot) named after Lorina. That day, in particular, Lewis Carroll’s stories were really interesting.

Later, Alice begged Lewis to write the stories down, and he agreed. 80 , it wasn’t until two and a half years later that Lewis finally gave her a dark green leather notebook—Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.

My parents were in a huge argument, and I was really upset about it. I didn’t know who I should talk with about how I was feeling. So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend’s house. Though I knew I wouldn’t tell her about my parents’ situation, I was looking forward to 75 . I was in the middle of packing up my things when suddenly the power went out in the neighborhood. Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the

power came back on. I was really 76 because I felt that we did not have much to talk about. But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark. I went to his room and told him that I’d stay with him until the power was restored. He was quite happy and said, “ 77 .” “For what?” I asked.

“To hold a private meeting, just you and I,” he said, “To hold a private meeting about what we’re going to do with your mom and dad, and what we’re going to do with ourselves 78 we’re in the situation we are in.”

“But we can’t do anything about it, Grandpa,” I said, surprised that here was someone with whom I could share my feelings and someone who was in the same “boat” as I was.

And that’s how the most unbelievable 79 in this family started. Sitting there in the dark, we talked about our feelings and fears of life. That night, because the power went out, I found a new friend, with whom I could 80 talk about all my fears and pains, whatever they may be.

Suddenly, the lights all came back on. “Well,” he said, “I guess that means you’ll want to go now. I really like our talk. I hope the power will go out every few nights!”

A travel journal(日记) is one of the best ways to keep a long journey in memory. While you are writing your travel journal, many things don’t seem s 81 , but they often turn out to be what make the trip so memorable.

It is important to have the h 82 of writing your travel journal every day. When you are on a busy journey, you probably won’t remember to write. You may promise

that you will write l 83 , but that almost never happens. Take a few minutes every day and put down your memories. It doesn’t have to be long.

Use your “down time” p 84 . There is a surprising amount of sitting around while traveling. You can always put down a few lines in your travel journal when you are on trains, waiting for planes, or waiting in line.

In your heading, write down the day, where you are, who you are with, maybe even the weather and what you eat. These are the details that people are most likely to f 85 . After many years when you read your journal, you will know exactly what you were doing on that day.

Focus on writing about how you feel. Listing facts and figures is fine, but that isn’t why you traveled. A long journey is a time for self-reflection(自我反思). Memories of these feelings fade(褪去) quickly with time, so it is important to write about those experiences when the memories are still f 86 . Keep ticket stubs(票根). Whenever you use a ticket for a train or a museum or a ride, stick the stubs to your journal. They are also a good r 87 of your travel experiences. One day you can look at the ticket stubs and see exactly what you were doing on a certain day and how much it cost.
