Passage 1
When I got the driving license last summer, my
mother and I took our first trip around an empty parking lot. Then I found
that my mother was not the best . .1. . for me. She didn't shout or tell me
that I was doing poorly. As you can imagine, my mother's “helpful instructions”
only managed to make me more . .2. ..
4
Later, my mother got busy with her work, so I stopped . .3. . with
her and the job was placed in the hands of my father. I loved him, . .4. .
I just did not see him as someone I could be comfortable learning from.
He almost never talked. We shared a(n) . .5. . father-daughter relationship.
He'd ask how school was, and I'd say it was fine. . .6. ., that was the most
of our conversations.
As Dad and I got into the car that first time, I was not . .7. . at
what would happen. We drove around, saying almost nothing except a
few instructions on how to turn. As the practice went on, however, things
began to . .8. .. He would . .9. . the radio so I could enjoy his favorite Stones
music. And he actually began talking. I was soon hearing about his first
meeting with my mother, “basic body” gym class, and other . .10. . from
his past.
My father's sudden talk was shocking until I thought about . .11. . he
was telling me so much. In all the years, I always . .12. . why my father
never spoke that much. I never considered it was because I had never
spent time . .13. .. Homework, friends, and even TV had all called me away
from him, and I never thought my . .14. . father had anything to say.
Since I began driving with him, my driving ability has greatly
improved. More importantly, the. .15. . between my father and I has also
improved. Just living with him wasn't enough—it took driving with him
for me to get to know someone who was a mystery.

happily on the playground when I let out a . .1. ., “Ow! Ow! Something
in my shoe is biting(咬) me.”
Everyone was . .2. . by the cry. They took me into a classroom and
were about to take off my shoe. “Which . .3. . is it?” one asked. “Let us
have a look.”
15
Suddenly, I remembered the holes in my socks. My family was very
poor during those years. I wore welfare(福利救济) socks which . .4. .
only a little, but those cheap welfare socks didn't . .5. . long. Soon there
were holes at the bottom.
I . .6. . to take off my shoe. I couldn't stand others . .7. . the holes in

My teacher, Miss Diana, hurried into the . .9. .. “What's wrong?” she
asked.
“Something is biting her right foot,but she doesn't . .10. . us to take
off her shoe,” one of my classmates answered.
Miss Diana lived next door to me. She knew everything about my
family. She put both hands on my shaking shoulders and looked into my
painful and . .11. . eyes.
“Oh, yes, it must be a sock-eating ant,” she said, as if she
had . .12. . seen the thing inside the shoe. “I had a bite from one of those
ants. By the time I took off my shoe, it had eaten almost the whole
bottom of my sock.” My classmates nodded while they were listening to
the teacher carefully, . .13. . they all looked a little puzzled(困惑的).
Miss Diana took off my right shoe and sock and shook them over
the dustbin(垃圾箱). Two red ants . .14. . it.
“Just like what I thought, the ants have eaten part of your sock.”
When she stroked an alcohol cotton ball(酒精棉球) on the bites, she
added, “You are such a. .15. . girl to stand so many bites.”
The alcohol felt cool on the bites and a little girl's pride was saved

“I'd like to, . .4. . it's too cold outside!” I replied.
“Exactly!” he said. “It's the perfect weather for not getting too hot.”
That's a cool thing about Jeff. He always looks on the . .5. . side of

“Let's go!” We went out, leaving the drawings on the table.
We laughed as we returned. When I . .6. . the door, my heart nearly

“Can we make it?” I doubted.
“I'm not sure, but we can have a . .11. .,” he encouraged.

buildings, green playground and so on. Then, we . .12. . all these pieces
together and made a jigsaw. Finally, we even added more paints. Days
later, a beautiful “. .13. .” appeared in front of us.
There was a . .14. . ending.
“Thanks, guys,” George smiled, “I love it so much. It will give me

Are you going to help me?”

“Sure, Grandma, but could you tell me . .2. . you want to plant
vegetables?” said Mike.
Mrs. Jones replied, “We can eat them when they are fully grown.
But it will. .3. . a few months.”
Mike had no . .4. . of growing vegetables, so he asked in surprise,

vegetables. I got some life . .6. . from the farm work,” Mrs. Jones
explained. “Planting is not a boring chore, but a(n) . .7. . activity. We

work, Grandma,” Mike said.. .9. ., they decided to plant potatoes and
tomatoes.
The next day, Mrs. Jones and Mike started ploughing and sowing
(耕种). It took them several hours to. .10. . the work. Seeing the hopeful
garden, Mike felt pleased.
Mrs. Jones and Mike . .11. . the garden carefully. As time went on,
the tomatoes and potatoes grew bigger, which made Mike understand
the . .12. . of patience and hard work.
It was time to harvest(收获). Mike . .13. . lots of potatoes and
tomatoes, and he shared some of them with his neighbors. Then he went
home with the rest of the vegetables and . .14. . them to his grandma. Mrs.
Jones used them to cook a dish. Mike tasted it and got a strong feeling

Passage 6
When I entered middle school, Mr. Jackson taught us . .1. .. On the
first day of class, he gave us a talk about an animal called “wampus”.
He told us that the wampus lived on the earth millions of years ago
during the Ice Age and died out because of the change of climate. We
all listened carefully and took . .2. . of everything he said. Later we had
a . .3. ..
34
When the exam paper was . .4. . to me, I was surprised and sad. There
was a big red “×” through each of my answers. I failed. But how come?
. .5. ., on the test paper, I wrote down what Mr. Jackson had said in class.
Then I realized that no one . .6. . the exam at all. What had happened?
“Very simple,” Mr. Jackson explained. “I had. .7. . all that story about
the wampus. There had never been any such animal, so the information

incorrect answers?”
There was no need to say we were . .9. .. What kind of test was this?
What kind of teacher was he? How could we believe he gave us so much
information about an animal that had not been there at all? How was it
possible for us students to . .10. . what the teacher taught us?
“The zeros on your papers will be . .11. . in your grade books,” he
said. And he did it.
Through this experience, Mr. Jackson hoped that we would learn
something. Teachers and books are not always . .12. .. In fact, no one is.
He told us not to let our mind go to sleep. Instead, we should keep
thinking all the time and speak up. .13. . we think there are mistakes in
our teachers' words or in books.
We should develop the . .14. . of doubting and the ability to decide

my mother put her arms around me and gave me a big . .12. ..
“Listen, Julie. Everybody makes silly mistakes. I love you not because
you are . .13. ., but because you are my daughter.” . .14. ., tears welled up in
my eyes.
