Sanjeev, from Birmingham, England, loves football, hates tidying his bedroom, and is always fighting with his brother and sister for the remote control of the family’s TV. But there is something s 81 about him: He has already finished university. While most students get degrees at the age of 21 or 22, Sanjeev graduated just after his 15th birthday. By the time he was three, Sanjeev had already been able to read and do maths. When he started school at the age of five, there was n 82 for him to do in class while the other children were learning to count or copy the alphabet. School bored him, and his parents were afraid he would start c 83 trouble. So, when Sanjeev was six, they decided to take him out of school and educate him at home. “I’m glad I was home-schooled,” says Sanjeev. “Mum and Dad developed a curriculum that suited my interests and abilities. They’re the people who know me best, so they were the ideal teachers for me. But the main reason learning at home works well is that not a moment is w 84 . At school, hours are spent getting kids to behave well. You are always standing in line, going in and out for breaks and so on. Meanwhile, at home, you concentrate 100% on your studies and learn at your own s 85 .” Nobody was s 86 when Sanjeev, at the age of 12, was offered a place to study physics at Sheffield University. He realized that studying in a city 100 miles from home would mean a lot of changes. He was looking forward to spending time with his aunt in a city 100 miles from home would mean a lot of changes. He was looking forward to spending time with his aunt in Sheffield, and knew he’d be glad to come home during the holidays and hang out with friends his own age. He felt confident about managing the course work, but anxious about how his classmates would act towards him. Maybe they’d laugh at him or ignore him? In fact, he loved his three years at university, and made good friends there. Sanjeev hasn’t decided what to do n 87 in his life, though. For the moment, he’s just relaxing and enjoying being a teenager. E. Answer the questions（根据对话内容回答下列问题）（7分） A walk in the forest I’m Grace. I live on a farm with my parents and take Benji, my pet dog, for a walk most days after school. Wednesday As I was going through the forest, it started raining hard. Suddenly, I slipped and fell on the ground. Ouch! That hurt. Then a voice said, “Are you all right? That was a bad fall.” I looked up and saw a boy about my age. He helped me up. “I haven’t seen you at school. Do you like near here?”I asked. “No, I’m from Manchester, ” he said. “Listen! I have to go. Are you OK to walk home? Do you need help?””No, I’m fine.

He’s run away from home. Look! This is his dad.” There was a man on TV sitting next to a policeman. He was crying and looked as if he hadn’t slept for days. Then they showed a photo of the missing boy. I knew him. It was the boy in the forest. He was Mark. “Should I say something? No, I mustn’t say anything. Maybe he has a good reason. I have to talk to him first.” I said to myself. Thursday I found Mark in the forest. I said, “Your dad was on TV last night. The police are looking for you.” He looked shocked and asked, “Did you say anything? Have you told them?” “No,” I said, “I wanted to talk to you first. Why have you run away?” He looked at the ground and said, “I had a big argument with my dad. My mum died four years ago. It was very hard for me and for Dad. But then he met someone new. Mel’s her name. She wants my dad for herself and isn’t interested in me. My dad keeps telling me to make an effort with her, but I can’t. The night I ran away, he told me that we would all move to London because Mel’s from London. But my grandpa and my friends are in Manchester. I don’t want to move to London. We both got angry. So I took my tent and left in the middle of the night.” I felt sorry for Mark, but I thought of his dad crying on TV and felt sorry for him too. “What are you going to do?” I asked. “I don’t know. I need time to think,” he replied. “_________________________________________” 88. Where did Grace meet Mark? 89. Did Grace say anything about Mark to others? 90.
