“
Experience may possibly be
the best teacher,
16
it is not a particular good
teacher.
”
You
might think that Winston Churchill or
perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but
17
actually
come
from
James
March,
18
80-year-old
professor
at
Stanford
University.
For
years
March,
__19
(possible)
wisest
philosopher
of
management,
has
studied
20
humans
think
and
act,
and he continues to do
so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.
He
begins
21
reminding
us
of
just
how
firmly
we
have
been
sticking
to
the
idea
of
experiential learning
:
”
Experience is
respected
；
experience
22
(seek)
；
experience
is explained.
”
The problem is
23
learning from experience involves
serious complications
（
复杂化）
, ones that
are part of the
nature of experience
24
and which March
25
(discuss) in the body of this
book.

Skeptics(
怀疑者
)
refuse to admit the serious threat of human
activities
16
the environment,
17
they are tired of people who disagree
with them. Those people, say skeptics, spread
nothing but
bad news about the
environment.
The
“
eco-
guilt
”
18
(bring)on by
the discouraging news about
our
planet
19
(give)
rise
to
the
popularity
of
skeptic
as
people
search
for
more
comforting
worldviews.
Perhaps
that
explains
why
a
new
book
by
Bjorn
Lomborg
received
so
much
publicity.
That
book ,the skeptical environmentalist,
declares that it measures the
“
real state of the
world
”
20
fine.
Of
course, another 21
(explain)
is
the
deep
pockets
of
some
big businesses
22
special
interests. Indeed,
Mr. Lomborg
’
s views are
similar to 23
of some industry-funded
organizations,
24
start huge activities through the media
25
(confuse) the public about
issues like global
warming.
(3)
In a world with limited
land, water and
16
natural resources, the harm from the
traditional
business
model
is
17
the
rise.
Actually,
the
past
decade
has
seen
more
and
more
forests
disappearing and the globe
18
(become) increasingly warm. People now
realize that this
19
(health)
situation must be changed, and
20
we must be able to develop in sustainab
le(
可持续
的
)ways.
That means growth with low carbon or development
of sustainable products. In other words,
we should keep the healthy while using
its supply of natural resources.
According to a recent study, the global
market for low-carbon energy will become three
times
bigger
21
the
next
decade.
China,
for
example,
has
set
22
mind
on
leading
that
market,
hoping
to
seize
chances
in
the
new
round
of
the
global
energy
resolution.
It
is
now
trying
hard
to
make full use of wind and
solar energy, and 23
(spend) a huge amount of
money making electric
cars
and
high-speed
trains.
In
addition,
we
are
also
seeing
great
growth
in
the
global
markets
for
1
/
9
sustainable
products
such
as
palm
oil(
棕榈油
),
which
is
produced
24
cutting
down
valuable
rain forest. In
recent years the markets for sustainable products
25
(grow) more than 50%.

Once upon a
time, there was an island. All the feelings lived
in the island
：
Happiness,
Sadness,
Richness, Knowledge, and all
of the others, 16_______(include) Love. One day it
was announced to
the feelings that the
island would sink, so they constructed boats
17_______left, except for Love.
Love
was the only one who stayed. Love wanted to hold
on 18______the last possible moment.
When
the
island
had
almost
sunk,
Love
decided
to
ask
for
help.
Richness
was
passing
19_______Love in a
grand boat.
Love said
,
“
Richness, can you take me with
you
？
”
Richness answered
,
“
No, I can
’
t.
20_______is a lot of gold and silver in my boat.
There is no
place here for
you.
”
Suddenly,
there
was
a
voice
,
“
Come,
Love,
I
will
take
you.
”
It
was
an
elder.
So
blessed
and
overjoyed,
Love
even
forgot
21_______(ask)
the
elder
where
they
were
going.22________they
arrived at dry land, the elder went her
own way.23________(realize) how much she owed the
elder,
Love asked Knowledge, another
elder
, “
Who helped
me?
”
“
24_______was
Time
,”
Knowledge answered. <
/p>
“
Time?
”
asked Love.
“
But why did
Time help me?
”
Knowledge
smiled
with
deep
wisdom
and
answered
,
“
Because
only
Time
is
capable
of
understanding how
25________(value) Love is.

Once
upon
a
time,
in
a
small
country,
people
decided
to
investigate
what
it
was
that
parents
really
liked
the
most.
A
competition
was
organized.
It
would
use
the
11
16
11
(late)
invention
of
Professor Shafte: the
Gladometer (
快乐测量仪
).
To date, the Gladometer is the only
invention ever
11
17
11
(build) capable of measuring joy and
happiness.
So, one by one,
the children presented
11
18
11
own particular talents
to their
parents. And the
Gladometer faithfully
measured their parents
’
reactions.
One boy turned up
11
19
11
a trained pig; the pig sang and danced. A girl
came and played the
violin like an
angel.
11
20
1
1
intelligent boy came and read his
very big book. The parents
’
happiness
was easy to see.
Finally, a boy came to the Gladometer
carrying
11
21
1
1
. Nor did he know how to do anything.
When
the
organizers
asked
him
what
he
was
going
to
do,
he
11
22
1
1
(simple)
said,
“
I
am
very
obedient(
顺从的
).
”
The machine
measured such a high reading
11
23
1 1
it began
violently shaking,
and finally
11
24
11
(explode). The boy who
had done nothing won all the prizes that day, for
solving
the mystery of
11
25
11
pleases
parents the most.

There was a
king of Scotland whose name was Robert Bruce. He
had to be brave and wise, for the
times
16
he lived were wild and
rude. The king of England had led a great army
into Scotland to
drive Bruce out of the
land. Six times had Bruce led his army
17
the enemies and six times had
his men been beaten. At last, his army
was scattered (
驱散
), and he
was forced to hide himself in the
woods.
One
rainy
day,
Bruce
was
tired
and
sick
at
heart.
18
seemed
to
him
that
it
was
no
use
trying to
do anything more.
19
(surprise),
he saw a spider over his head,
20
(get) ready to
weave
her
web.
She
tried
six
times
and
failed,
21
she
did
not
lose
hope
and
tried
for
the
seventh
time.
The
thread
was
carried
safely
and
fastened
22
the
beam.
“
I,
too,
will
try
a
seventh time!
”
cried Bruce. He called his men together and soon
another battle
23
(fight). The
King of England
was forced to go back into his own country.
After that day, Bruce never hurt
24
spider. The lesson which the little
creature had taught
25
was never forgotten.

Now that I am no longer
young, I have friends whose mothers
16
(pass) away. I have heard
these sons and daughters say they never
fully appreciated their mothers
17
it was too late to tell
them.
I am blessed with the
dear mother who is still alive. I appreciate her
more each day. My mother
does not
change, but I do. As I grow older and wiser, I
realize
18
an
extraordinary person she is.
How sad
that I
’
m unable to speak
these words in her presence,
19
they flow easily from my
pen.
How
does
a
daughter
begin
to
thank
her
mother
20
life
itself?
For
the
love,
21
(patient)
and
just
plain
hard
work
that
go
into
raising
a
child?
For
running
after
a
child,
for
understanding a moody teenager, for
tolerating a college student who knows
everything
？
For waiting
for the day __22__ a daughter realizes
how wise her mother really is?
I
don
’
t know how, dear God,
except to ask you to bless her as
23
(rich) as she deserves and
to help me live up to
24
example she has set. I pray that I will
look as good in the eyes of my
children
as my mother looks in
25
.

Are space monsters
attacking the Sea of Japan? Not exactly. But these
huge
boneless creatures
are
unwelcome
16
(visit) from another place. Called
Nomura
’
s
jellyfish,
the
pink,
soft-bodied
giants
can
weigh
up
to
210
kilograms
—
as
heavy
17
a male lion
—
and
they
’
re gathering by the
millions.
The supersize sea
creatures
—
normally
18
(find) off the coasts
of China and North and South Korea
—
19
(occasional)
drift east into
the
Sea
of
Japan
to
feed
on
tiny
plants
and
animals.
But
now
one
hundred
times
the
usual
number
of
3
/
9
jellyfish are
invading Japanese waters. And local fishermen are
feeling as if they are under attack.
The fishermen
’
s
nets are getting weighted down, or even broken, by
hundreds of jellyfish. The
jellies
crush and poison valuable fish in the nets, such
as salmon(
三文鱼
), which the
fishermen rely
on
20
(make) a living.
No one
knows for sure
21
is causing this jellyfish traffic jam.
It
’
s possible
22
oceans
heated
by
global
warming
are
creating
the
perfect
egg-laying
environment
for
jellyfish.
Another
theory
is
that
overfishing
has
decreased
23
numbers
of
some
fish,
24
may
allow
the
jellies to search for food without
competition. For now, all the fishermen can do is
design special nets
to try to keep the
jellies out. Some of them hope to turn the
disaster into cash
25
selling jellyfish
snacks.

When Englishwoman Jane Goodall went
into Tanzania
’
s jungles in
1960 and returned with news
that
chimpanzees used tools, destroying the belief that
humans were the only species to do so, many
people expressed their wounded pride
1
disbelief.
Since then, not
only has she been proven correct,
2
scientists have observed
other apes,
elephants, dolphins and
birds using tools.
Now, there is video
evidence
3
fish can be
added to that list as well.
“
Many people think fish
don
’
t do all that much, but
4
you spend enough time
you
’
ll see
that
5
do very complex
things,
”
ecology and
evolutionary biology professor Giacomo Bernardi
said.
Over the years there
6
(be) many
research reports claiming that certain fish
species use
tools, but Bernardi is the
first
7
(produce) video
evidence. While he was in Palau,
8
island
nation near New
Zealand, he taped an orange-dotted tuskfish as it
dug a shell-fish
out of the sand,
grabbed
it
in
its
mouth,
swam
to
a
suitable
rock
and
hit
the
shell-fish
against
it
9
the
shell
cracked.
“
The
fish is doing a number of
10
(real) complex
things,
”
Bernardi said.
“
First it removes
the sand to take out the shell, and
then swims for a long time to find the proper
place to break it. The
fish is planning
the whole action.

There
’
s been
a lot going on at Disney. The company
16
(announce) last Tuesday that, 17
about
20
years
of
negotiations,
a
Disneyland-style
theme
park
is
finally
coming
to
the
Chinese
mainland.
Meanwhile,
there
’
s
18
big
move
underway,
maybe
a
risky
one---giving
its
19
(remarkable) creation, Mickey Mouse, a
makeover
（转型）
.
Eighty-one-year-old Mickey is the most
familiar Disney character ever. For years, Mickey
was
best
known
for
his
20
(friendly).
And
he
’
s
been
a
character
that
the
Disney
Corp.
dare
not
damage. He is
21
symbol of the Disney enterprise,
22
a perfect example of both
cultural
phenomenon
and
commercial
success.
In
2004,
Mickey
was
rated
by
Forbes
23
the
world
’
s
most valuable character,
24
(earn) $$5.8 billion (39 billion yuan) a
year worldwide. However, in
a new video
game, Epic Mickey, the old nice, clean character
can be ill-tempered and cunning.
