One morning Raman, a true master of the art of archery (箭术), invited his favorite student to watch a display of his skill. The student had 36 this more than a hundred times before, but he still obeyed his 37. Together, they went into a nearby wood and reached a tall 38. Raman picked a rose flower and 39 it on one of the branches of the tree. He 40 opened his bag and took out three objects. his 41, an arrow and a white handkerchief. Raman stood one hundred paces from the spot where he had placed the 42. Facing his target, he 43 his student to blindfold (蒙住眼睛) him with the handkerchief. The student did as his teacher 44. “How often have you seen me practice the sport of archery?” Raman asked him 45. “Every day,” replied his student. “And you have 46 managed to hit the rose from three hundred paces away.”

With his eyes covered by the 47, Raman placed his feet firmly on the ground and 48 the bowstring (弓弦) with all his strength. Aiming at the rose on the 49, he let the arrow fly. The arrow whistled through the air, 50 it did not even hit the tree, missing the target by a few meters. “Did I 51 it?” said Raman, removing the handkerchief from his eyes.

“No, you missed 52,” replied the student. “I thought you were going to 53 me the power of thought and your ability to perform magic.”

“I have 54 taught you the most important lesson about the power of thought.” replied Raman. “When you 55 something, concentrate only on that. No one will ever hit a target they cannot see.” 1.

I grew up poor — living with six brothers, three sisters and my mother. We had little money, but plenty of love and 36 . I was happy and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, he could still 37 a dream. My dream was 38 . By the time I was sixteen, I could throw a ninety-mile-per-hour baseball and 39 anything that moved on the field. I was also 40 . my high school coach was John, who not only 41 me, but also taught me how to believe in myself. He 42 me the difference between having a dream and showing conviction (信念). One particular incident with coach John changed my life forever.

A friend 43 me for a summer job. This meant a chance for money in my pocket — money for a new bike, new clothes and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. Then I realized I would have to 45 up summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell John I wouldn’t be playing.

When I told John, he was as 46 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said, “Your 47 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.” I stood before him with my head 48 , trying to think of the words that would 49 to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth facing his 50 in me. “Well,” he asked, “is $3.5 an hour the 51 of a dream?”

That simple question made 52 to me the difference between 53 something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself in sports that summer and 54 the year I was chosen by the Pittsburgh Pirates to play baseball, and 55 a $ 20,000 contract（合同）. Later, I bought my mother the house of my dream! 1.

We were driving along the village of Simdara. I 36 to my right and saw an old shelter 20 meters from the side of the road that appeared to be filled with 37 . “Would you mind 38 ?” I asked the driver Waris. “I think there is a(n) 39 .”

Waris laughed. “No, Greg, that’s actually a public toilet,” explained Waris and he kept 40 . “But why are there so many kids? What are they doing there? We need to 41 ,” I insisted. The word caught Waris 42 and he stopped the car. When we reached the shelter, to my surprise, it was 43 a toilet—or at least it had been at one time. The roof was gone now, and the four toilet pits (坑) had been 44 with old boards. There were 25 children between 4 and 5 years old, one 45 , and a wooden board against the wall. Though having a tough learning environment, the students are quite 46 to chat with us about their class and curriculum (课程). After about ten minutes, the teacher 47 if we might like to see “the rest of the school”. We 48 and followed her up the hill. Just over the top of the hill, there was an old tent. It was very 49 inside because nearly 100 students were packed like sardines (沙丁鱼). These students were a little 50 , fourth-, and sixth-graders, and all of them were sitting on the ground. 51 the teacher, they were doing extremely well — 52 most of them had no books, paper or even pencils. We were forced to 53 to catch our plane. We were all 54 and decided to collect money to build a school for these children who had a hunger for 55 . 1. A．looked B．stuck C．led 2.

It was the last day of the final examination in a large eastern university. On the steps of one building, a group of engineering students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 36 . On their faces was confidence . This was their last exam — then on to 37 and jobs. Some talked of jobs they already had; others talked of jobs they 38 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt ready and able to take 39 of the world. The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 40 task. The professor had said they could bring 41 books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 42 each other, during the test.

43 they entered the classroom. The professor passed out the papers. And smiles 44 on the students’ faces as they noted(注意到) there were only five essay-type questions.

Three hours had passed 45 the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.

He looked at the 46 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 47a hand was raised. “How many answered four?” Still no hands.

“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly （不安地,慌张地）in their seats. “One, then? Certainly somebody finished 48 .”But the class remained silent.

The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 49 ,” he said. “I just want to impress upon you that, 50 you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the 51 you don’t know. These questions you couldn’t answer are relatively(相对地,相当地) 52 in everyday practice. ” Then smiling, he added, “You will all 53 this course, but remember — even though you are now college graduates, your education has just 54 .” The years have 55 the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught. 1.
