The amount of usable

probably depend on the advance knowledge of

Scott and his
companions were terribly disappointed. When they
got to the South Pole, they found the
Norwegians
（挪
威人）
had
36
them in the race to be the
first ever to reach it. After
37
the British
flag at the Pole, they took a
photograph of themselves
38
they started the 950-mile journey back.
The
journey
was
unexpectedly
39
and
the
joy
and
excitement
about
the
Pole
had
gone
out
of
them.
The
sun
hardly
40
. The snow
storms always made it impossible to sight the
stones they had
41
to mark their way
home. To

.Evans, whom
they had all thought of
43
the strongest of the five, fell badly
into a
deep hole in the ice. Having
44
along for several days, he
suddenly fell down and died.

pushed on at
the best speed they could

.Captain Oates had been
suffering for some
time from his
47
fact; at night his feet
swelled so large that he could
48
put his boots on the next morning, and
he walked bravely although he was in
great
49
.He knew his slowness was making it
less likely that
50
could save
themselves. He asked them to leave him
behind in his sleeping-bag, but they refused, and
helped him
51
a few more
miles, until it was time to put up the
52
for another
night.
The following morning,
53
the other three were still in their
sleeping-
bags, he said. “I
am
just going outside and
may be
54
some time.” He was
neve
r seen again. He had walked out 55
into the snow storm, hoping
that his death
would help his
companions.

2006
It was a bright
spring afternoon when Freda told me she
wouldn’t n
eed me any more. I had just
finished my four-hour work
－
36
up and down the stairs of her three-
storey home,cleaning the floor and washing the
dishes. She was 37
jeans
and a sweater,
sitting at the table I
had just
38
, a pile of papers spread around her.
Her
husband’s
39
was going to be reduced by thirty
percent,
and they were
trying to live as if it had
40 happened. I felt sorry for her, but
I also felt a sense of
41
.
I had been cleaning
Freda’s house for five years and
had
42
an unexpected relationship
with the family
. It was not just
43
I had become an expert at
scraping
（刮掉）
dirt stuck to
their wooden floor,
44
that I had learned exactly
how to place toys on the
girls’ beds.
It wa
s
45
than that, for I felt I had
become a part of their
46
.
Freda stayed at home with
the kids,
47
I would often see her in the morning
48
them to school. And I’d be there when
they
49
home at lunch for
sandwiches and piano practice.I had 50
them grow up. Now I was tired, but the
51
thing was that
I still
wanted to keep scraping away the dirt and dust for
the family.
I left Freda’s house that
day, wondering about the
52
of my relationship with my
clients(
主顾
).Who am I
53
them? As a
matter of
fact, I’m
54
an employee
－
the
lowest kind of employee. But I’m also a
trusted
55
of the family
. I
can’t help worrying
about what happens
around me.

Lang Lang is a world-
class young pianist who grew up in went to a
piano school in Beijing when he was
just eight.
“You need
36
.” his father said. “But
if you don’t work hard no fortune will
come.”
What
made
him
sad
was
37
his
piano
teacher
in
Beijing
didn’t
like
him.“You
have
no
talent
.You
will
never
be
a
pianist.”

his father didn’t push but waited.
Luckily the day came when his teacher
asked him to 42 some holiday songs.
He
didn’t want to but as he placed his
fingers on the piano keys he 43 that he
could show others that he had talent 44 .That day
he told his father 45 he had been
waiting to hear is that he wanted to
study with a new teacher. 46 that point on
everything turned around!
He started 47 competitions. In the 1994
International Young Pianists Competition when it
was 48 that Lang Lang had
won he was
too 49 to hold back his tears. Soon 50
was clear that he couldn’t stay in
China forever
---he had to play on the
world big 51 .In 1997 Lang Lang 52
again this time to Philadelphia U.S. There he
spent two years practicing and by 1999
he had worked hard enough for fortune
to take over. After his 53 performanc

I was a single parent
of four small children,working at a low-paid was
always tight, but we had a
36__
over our heads, food on the table,
clothes on our backs,and if not a lot, always
37 .Not knowing we were
poor, my kids
just thought I was 38
.
I’ve always been glad about
that.
It was
Christmas time, and although th
ere
wasn’t
39
for a lot of gifts, we
planned to celebrate with a family party.
But the big
40
for the kids was the fun of
Christmas
41
.
They
planned
weeks
ahead
of
time,
asking
42
what
they
wanted
for
Christmas.
Fortunately,I
had
saved
$$120
for
43
to share by
all five of us.
The big
44
arrived. I
gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and
45
them to look
for gifts of about four dollars each.
Then everyone
scattered(
散开
). We had two
hours to shop; then we would
46
back at the
“Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving
home,everyone
was
in
high
Christmas
spirits,
47
my
younger
daughter,Ginger,
who
was
unusually
48
.She had only one small, flat bag with
a few candies
—
fifty-
cent candies! I was so angry, but
I didn’t say anything
49
we got home. I called her into my
bedroom and closed the door,
50
to be angry
again. This is what she told me.
“I was looking
51
thinking of
what to buy, and I
52
to read the little cards on
the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a
little girl, four years old, and all
she
53
for Christmas was a doll. So I took the
card off the tree and
54
the doll for
her. We have so much and she doesn’t
have anything.”
I never felt so
55
as I did that
day.
