I got there a little early, so I 31 my car by a small park, and 32 for her. As I looked outside the car window, I saw a little boy, who was around two years old, running 33 on the grass as his mother 34 from a short distance. The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been 35 free from some sort of prison. The boy would fall to the grass, 36 up, without looking back at his mother, run as 37 as he could, again, still with a smile on his face, as if nothing had happened. At that moment, I thought to myself, "Why aren't most adults behaving this way?" Most adults, when they fall down, make a big deal out of it and don't even 38 a second attempt. They would be so 39 that they would not try again if someone saw them fall. Or, because they fall, they would find a good 40 for themselves that they're not fit for it. They would end up too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure. However, for kids, things are different. When they fall down, they don't consider their falling down as a failure. Instead, they treat it as a 41 experience. They try again and again until they 42 .The answer must be that they have not connected "falling down" with the word "failure". As a they are not discouraged in any way. Besides, they 44 think to themselves that it's quite okay to fall down and that it's not wrong to do so. In other words, they allow themselves to make 45 ,so they remain energetic. I was deeply impressed by the boy's persistence (坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did. ( )31.

And it even causes a number of social problems such as cloning humans. We have had lots of technology and it has changed our lives a lot. There is no doubt that humans will continue to use more and more technology. Here are some examples of modern technology that will change our ideas and will affect our lives greatly. Global positioning system (GPS)(全球定位系统) It's a system that uses radio signals from satellites to show exact information. It tells you where the user is on the earth in all weather conditions. It's made up of three parts: satellites, control equipments on land and receivers. Space Technology Russian and American scientists have worked together for the International Space Station (ISS) for a long time. They hope the ISS will provide a long-lasting lab. Such a lab will bring humans limitless advantages. It's even hoped that one day space technology will take humans to their new houses in space. Underwater Robot Hercules is a kind of underwater robot with some high technology equipment. It will be used to search for ancient ships which were destroyed into the deep sea during their journey long ago. The world is changing so quickly that it's hard for us to catch up with all the new inventions because they seem to come out every month. It's important for us to learn about new technology and the role that it plays in our lives. So we should be willing to accept modern technology, or we will fall behind the times.

C At Denver, there came two young men onto the train, one, handsome with a bold, frank face and manner; the other a glum-faced person, heavily built and roughly dressed. The two were handcuffed (戴手套) together. They seated themselves on a seat facing a pretty young woman who was dressed elegantly. The young woman glanced at them with a distant disinterest; then with a lovely smile, she held out a little gray-gloved hand. "Well, Mr. Easton, don't you ever recognize old friends when you meet them in the West?" The younger man roused himself sharply at her voice, seemed to struggle with a slight embarrass- ment which he threw off instantly, and then clasped her fingers with his left hand "It's Miss Fairchild," he said, with a smile. "I'll ask you to excuse the other hand; it's ..." He slightly raised his right hand, which was bound to the left one of his companion. The glad look in the girl's eyes slowly changed to a horror. Easton, with a little laugh, was about to speak again when the glum-faced man, who had been watching, said, "You'll excuse me for speaking, Miss, but, I see you know the marshal(警长). If you'll ask him to speak a word for me, it'll make things easier for me there. He's taking me to Leavenworth prison. It's seven years for counterfeiting(伪造)." "Oh!" said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. "So that is what you are doing out here? A marshal!" "My dear Miss Fairchild," said Easton, calmly, "I had to do something. You know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington.-Well, a marshalship isn't a high.." The girl said, warmly, "So now you are one of these Western heroes, and you ride and shoot and go into all kinds of dangers." The girl's eyes, fascinated, went back to the glittering handcuffs. "Don't worry about them, miss," said the other man."All marshals handcuff themselves to their prisoners to keep them from getting away. Mr. Easton knows his business." "Will we see you again soon in Washington?" asked the girl. "Not soon, I think," said Easton. "My butterfly days are over,I fear." "Say, Mr. Marshal," growled the glum-faced man. "This isn't quite fair. I need a drink, and haven't had a smoke all day. Haven't you talked long enough?" "I can't deny a request for a smoke," he said lightly, "Good-bye, Miss Fairchild." He held out his hand for a farewell. The two men sidled down the aisle into the smoking area. The two passengers nearby had heard most of the conversation. One of them said, "That marshal's a good sort of man." "Pretty young to be an officer, isn't he?" asked the other. "Young!" exclaimed the first speaker, "Why-Oh! Didn't you catch on?

Outlining … researching talking to people about what you' re doing, none of that is writing. Writing is writing." -Cory Doctorow B. "Read, read, read. Read everything: trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You'll absorb it. Then write. If it's good, you'll find out. If it's not, throw it out of the window." -William Faulkner C. "Always carry a notebook. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper you can lose an idea for ever." -Will Self D. "All through my career I've written 1,000 words a day even if I've got a hangover. You've got to discipline yourself if you're professional. There's no other way." -Gerald E. "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it."-Toni Morrison For everyone who has lots of tales waiting to be told, here are a few writing tips from some of the world's greatest authors. Maybe they'll inspire you and help you. Keep a Notebook Handy Inspiration can strike at any time, and it's not uncommon for writers to write their ideas onreceipts, napkins, bits of toilet paper, of anything within reach that can be written upon. If you have a good notebook with you at all times, you don't have to risk losing any scrap of your ideas. 61. You Have to Read So You Can Write Imagine going to a restaurant where you'll be served food that's prepared by someone who isn't fond of eating, or having a personal finess session with a trainer who doesn't like to exercise. Both scenes are rather absurd to think about, aren't they? The best writers tend to be eager readers, as they have extensive vocabularies, awareness of what makes a story interesting. I'd be afraid to road anything by someone who's witten more than they've read. Read all that you can, and not merely the subject matter that you enjoy: read outside your comfort level, in subjects you're unfamiliar with. 62. Write, and Write, and Write. Then Write Some More. The only way you'll get anything done is by writing. You may write a two-hundred-thousand-word article and then cut it down to a quarter of that length, but you won't be able to cut and refine anything if all you do is to sit on the seat, staring numbly at your screen, not writing anything at all. Don't say that you're writing a novel: write it. Don't spend all your time researching things and wasting time on interest for inspiration: write. Then write some more. 63. Write What You'd Like to Read Don't write what you think other people want to read: create something that you would fall in love with if you read it. Chances are that if you enjoy something that you write, others will too. 64. ( )65. Where may we find this passage? A. In a newspaper. B. In an English learning magazine. C. In a tour guide. D. In the book Who's Who. 五、词汇 A. 根据中文意思用恰当的单词完成句子。 66. The job interview (继续).Miss Smith began to feel more and more confident and she was sure she could get the job. 67.
