Regardless of the weather or the distance, Paul Wilson will make sure low-income students in his neighborhood arrive at their college classes on time.
A retired engineer, 76-year-old Wilson has been 1 free rides to college students for the past eight years. Since he first started 2 his car to the young people, Wilson has 3 , an astonishing 64,000 miles, and has had countless pleasant and often humorous 4 with the students he transports to and from school. The students who he's 5 have gone on to become physicians, teachers and engineers, but what they've also got out of their time in school is finding a role model and a friend in Wilson. Some students 6 call him \"Grandpa\".
Tina Stern 7 rides from Wilson for all her four years in college, and the trips meant much more to her than just free 8 . \"It's not just a ride; you're not just sitting there in 9 silence or with your headphones on.\" Stern said. \"He asks you questions and actually 10 the answers. So the next time you ride with him, he'll 11 those things.\"
Wilson first worked as a driver through a student-support programme of the non-profit organisation. On point for College, although the 12 asks the members only to drive students to and from their classes, Wilson often goes 13 to ensure the welfare and safety of the students. If they have problems with registration, Wilson is there to 14 them. If they run out of certain daily necessities,
Wilson will drive to the nearest store and purchase what's needed. If a student gets hungry on the long drives to and from school, Wilson never 15 to buy them a meal.
For many students, Wilson's help is not only appreciated, it's also entirely 16 for them to be able to complete their college education. Some students don't have a reliable car, while others have to 17 vehicles with parents who work six days a week. For them, riding with Wilson has 18 them to complete their education. According to Wilson, he benefits just as much from the 19 . \"I just love driving and I love these kids\ 20 to be a part of these kids' lives, even just for a few hours, getting to know them and hearing their stories.\"

I was ready to pay for my bananas at the grocery one night, when fear seized me. My wallet was gone. I could only have left it on the G9 bus, which was now speeding in the dark to some 1 station.
The 2 moment was quickly followed by mental math. How much time and money would it cost to replace the 3 of that little wallet? The credit cards, the driver's license, the cash, all lost to the bus.

During my second year at the city college, I was told that the education department was offering a “free” course, called Thinking Chess, for three credits. I 41 the idea of taking the class because, after all, who doesn’t want to 42 a few dollars? More than that, I'd always wanted to learn chess. And, even if I weren't 43 enough about free credits, news about our 44 was appealing enough to me. He was an international grandmaster, which 45 I would be learning from one of the game's 46 . I could hardly wait to 47 him.
Maurice Ashley was kind and smart, a former graduate returning to teach, and this 48 was no game for him; he meant business. In his introduction, he made it 49 that our credits would be hard-earned. In order to 50 the class, among other criteria, we had to write a paper on how we plan to 51 what we would learn in class to our future professions and, 52 , to our lives. I managed to get an A in that 53 and learned life lessons that have served me well beyond the 54 . Ten years after my chess class with Ashley, I'm still putting to use what he 55 me: “The absolute most important 56 that you learn when you play chess is how to make good 57 . On every single move you have to 58 a situation, process what your opponent(对手) is doing and 59 the best move from among all your options.” These words still ring true today in my 60 as a journalist.

The Homeless Hero
For many, finding an unattended wallet filled with £400 in cash would be a source(来源) of temptation(诱惑). But the 16 would no doubt be greater if you were living on the streets with little food and money. All of this makes the actions of the homeless Tom Smith 17 more remarkable.
After spotting a 18 on the front seat inside a parked car with its window down, he stood guard in the rain for about two hours waiting for the 19 to return.
After hours in the cold and wet, he 20 inside and pulled the wallet out hoping to find some ID so
he could contact(联系) the driver, only to 21 it contained £400 in notes, with another £50 in spare change beside it.
He then took the wallet to a nearby police station after 22 a note behind to let the owner know it was safe. When the car's owner John Anderson and his colleague Carol Lawrence returned to the car — which was itself worth £35,000 — in Glasgow city center, they were 23 to find two policemen standing next to it. The policemen told them what Mr. Smith did and that the wallet was 24 . The pair were later able to thank Mr. Smith for his 25 . Mr. Anderson said: \"I couldn't believe that the guy never took a penny. To think he is sleeping on the streets tonight 26 he could have stolen the money and paid for a place to stay in. This guy has nothing and 27 he didn't take the wallet for himself; he thought about others 28 . It's unbelievable. It just proves there are 29 guys out there.\"
Mr. smith's act 30 much of the public's attention. He also won praise from social media users after Mr. Anderson 31 about the act of kindness on Facebook.
Now Mr. Anderson has set up an online campaign to 32 money for Mr. Smith and other homeless people in the area, which by yesterday had received ￡8,000. \"I think the faith that everyone has shown 33 him has touched him. People have been approaching him in the street; he's had all job 34 and all sorts, \" Mr. Anderson commented.
For Mr. Smith, this is a possible life-changing 35 . The story once again tells us that one good turn deserves another.

I felt that it would be a 31 for us even if we lost the game. But that wasn't what happened. My boys beat the best team in Georgia, giving me one of the greatest 32 of my life!
From the experience I learned a lot about how the attitude of the leader can 33 the members of a team. Instead of seeing my boys as losers, I pushed and 34 them. I helped them to see themselves 35 , and they built themselves into winners. Winners are made, not born.

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 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!

The minutes passed by. Suddenly, Balto began to 53 . He had found the trail. At 5:30 am on February 2, Kaasen and his dog 54 in Nome. Within minutes, Dr. Welch had the medicine.

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 our 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). 16. A. failure 17. A. usually 18. A. improve 19. A. increased 20. A. however 21. A. use 22. A. pull 23. A. afraid

During the war, my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California. I went to live there in order to be 21 him. I hated the place. I had never 22 been so unhappy . My husband was ordered out on a long-term duty, and I was left in a tiny shack(棚屋) alone. The heat was 23 —almost 125 0F even in the shade of a cactus(仙人掌). 24 a soul to talk to. The wind blew non-stop, and all the food I ate, and the every air I breathed, were 25 with sand, sand, sand!
I was so sorry for myself that I wrote to my parents. I told them I was 26 and coming back home. I said I couldn’t stand it one minute longer. I 27 be in prison! My father answered my 28 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 favorite artworks which they had 33 to sell to tourists. I studied the delightful forms of the cactus. I watched for the desert sunsets, and 34 for seashells that had been left there millions of years ago when the desert had been an ocean 35
What brought about this 36 change in me? The desert hadn’t changed, 37 I had. I had changed my 38 And by doing so, I changed an unhappy experience into the most amazing 39 of my life.

In the 1960s, Douglas McGregor, one of the key thinkers in the art of management, developed the
now famous Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X is the idea that people instinctively 51 work and will do anything to avoid it. Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work.
In any case, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be imposed from 54 without consultation. This, of course, makes for authoritarian (专制的) managers.
Different cultures have different ways of 55 people. Unlike authoritarian management, some cultures, particularly in Asia, are well known for the consultative nature of decision-making—all members of the department or work group are asked to 56 to this process. This is management by the collective opinion. Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are based on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional 58 managers cannot.
A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative to make decisions on their own without 59 managers first. This empowerment (授权) has been part of the trend towards downsizing: 60 the number of management layers in companies. After de-layering in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of senior managers, front-line managers and employees with direct contact with the public. Empowerment takes the idea of delegation (委托) much further than has 62 been the case. Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to 63 that the overall business plan is being followed, and that operations become more profitable under the new organization, rather than less.
Another trend is off-site or 64 management, where teams of people linked by e-mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses. Project managers evaluate the 65 of the team
members in terms of what they produce for projects, rather than the amount of time they spend on them. 51. A. desire B. seek
52. A. contrary
B. expectation 53. A. vice versa B. for example 54. A. outside
B. inside
55. A. replacing B. assessing 56. A. refer
B. contribute 57. A. agreement B. practice 58. A. bossy B. experienced 59. A. asking B. training

One of the easiest things in the world is to become a fault-finder. However, life 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.

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.
