It was a cold winter. The day my husband fell to his death, it started to snow, just  1 any November day. His   2 , when I found it, was lightly covered with snow. It snowed almost every day for the next four months, while I sat on the couch and watched it   3 . One morning, I walked slowly   4  and was surprised to see a snow remover clearing my driveway and the bent back of a woman clearing my walk. I dropped to my knees and crawled back upstairs,  5 those good people would not see me. I was   6 . My first thought was, how would I ever  7 them? I didn’t have the  8 to brush my hair,   9 clear someone’s walk.
Before Jon’s death, I felt proud that I   10 asked for favors. I identified myself by my competence and  11 . So who was I if I was no longer capable? How could I   12 myself if I just sat on the couch every day and watched the snow fall?
Learning to receive the love and   13 from others wasn’t easy. Friends cooked for me and I cried. Finally, my friend Kathy said, “Mary, cooking for you isn’t a   14 for me; it makes me feel good to be able to do something for you.”
Over and over, I heard   15 words from the people who supported me during those  16 days. One wise man told me, “You aren’t doing nothing because being fully open to your  17 may be the hardest work you will ever do.”
I am not the person I   18 was, but in many ways I have changed for the   19 . I’ve been surprised to learn that there is incredible freedom coming form  20 one’s worst fear and walking away whole. I believe there is strength, for sure, in accepting a dark period of our life.

Several years ago, we moved into the apartment where we live now. When my friends helped me move in, the downstairs neighbors began to  36 about the noise. I could do  37 about it. After all, noises are unavoidable(不可避免的).How can anyone move in  38 .
Still  39 ,the complaints continued on a daily basis—well after the first day. We walked “too loudly”down the stairs, we laughed too often, we opened and closed the door too many times…They had many  40 to complain.

People always say that if God closed a door in front of you, there must be a window opened for you. Yes, people always say that, but  31  is the window for me?

Now, I just feel  35  with myself because I couldn’t finish the assignment(任务) on the lab, and what was  36  worse was that actually I didn’t understand what the  37  was! Fiona asked me why I didn’t  38  for help. The problem is that if I have to ask some silly questions, I will feel  39 .
Before I came here, I was confident. But I have totally  40  it. Sometimes I can’t even find the right words: sometimes I am too shy to  41  others. I have to admit that I am  42 .
The wisest people are always  43  who can take advantage of others’ wisdom. But I was so stupid as to close myself and  44  a lot of time soaking inside the workbook,  45  made me more confused. Why can’t I follow the sentence? I am  46  to get help the next time I have any questions. I can  47  I am not smart, But I shouldn’t hide it.

I was walking down a dimly (昏暗) lit street late one evening when I heard       coming from behind bushes.      , I slowed down to listen and panicked when I realized that what I was hearing were the sounds of a struggle. Only yards from where I stood, a woman was being attacked.
Should I get      ?
I was frightened for my own safety, and I hated       for having suddenly decided to take a(n)       route home that night. “What if I’m hurt too? Shouldn't I just run to the nearest phone and call the police? Although it felt like a century, my thought process had only       seconds. But already the cries were growing      .
I knew I had to act fast. “How could I walk away from this?” I asked myself.
“No”, I finally resolved (决心), I could not turn my       on the fate of this unknown woman,       it means       my own life.
I am not a brave man, nor am I      . I don't know where I found the moral (道德) courage and physical strength, but       I had finally decided to help the girl, I became suddenly changed.
I ran behind the bushes and       the attacker off the woman. Struggling, we fell to the ground,       we fought for a few minutes until the man jumped up and escaped.
      heavily, I got to my feet and       the girl, who was sobbing behind a tree. In the darkness, I could certainly       her trembling shock. Not wanting to frighten her any further, I at first spoke to her from a      .
“It’s OK,” I said soothingly. “The man ran away. You’re safe now.”
There was a long pause and then I heard the words, uttered (说) in      .
“Dad, is that you?”
And then, from behind the tree,       my youngest daughter, Katherine.
God has a way of allowing us to be in the right place at the right time.

At the age of 11, Peter Lynch started caddying(当球童) at Brae Burn Country Club in Newton, Mass. “It was better than a newspaper carrier, and much more profitable,” the Fidelity vice chairman recalls. He kept it up during the summers for almost a decade. “You get to know the course and can give the golf players advice about how to approach various holes,” he says. “Where else, at age 15 or 16, can you serve as a trusted adviser to high-powered people?”
One of those people was George Sullivan, then president of Fidelity’s funds, who was so impressed with Lynch’s smarts that he hired him in 1966. “There were about 75 applicants for 3 job openings,” Lynch says now. “But I was the only one who had caddied for the president for 10 years.”
In between caddying and managing money, Lynch went to Boston College on a scholarship from a program called the Francis Ouimet Fund. Named after the 1913 winner of the U.S. Open, the fund launched in 1949 which is open to Massachusetts kids only. Ouimet executive director Robert Donovan says, “Help with college is a logical extension of friendly relation between golfers and their favorite caddies, because there is a close tie to train up them to be excellent that happens between the players and the kids who carry their golf poles. And for the teens, caddying is all about being around successful role models.”
It is obvious that caddies who are finally successful include all kinds of outstanding personnel, from actor Bill Murray, to New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, to former GE chairman and CEO Jack Welch.
Of course, the great number of financial giants who caddied in their youth might be coincidence, but Dick Connolly thinks not. “Caddying life teaches you a lot about business, and about life,” he says. “You learn to show up early and look people in the eye when you shake their hand, and you learn how to read people -- including who’s likely to cheat and who isn’t.” Connolly is a longtime investment advisor at Morgan Stanley’s Boston office, a former Ouimet scholarship student and, along with Peter Lynch and Roger Altman, one of the program’s biggest supporters. He wants to share the most important lesson he learned on the links, so he says: “One golfer I caddied for told me that if you want to succeed in any field -- golf or business -- you have to spend a lot of lonely hours, either practicing or working, when you’d rather be partying with your friends. That’s true, and it stuck with me.”
【小题1】Which of the following may Peter Lynch agree about caddying?

A.He could have a relaxing job as a caddie.
B.He could make more money from the golf players.  
C.His duty was to advise the players how to play golf.
D.His caddying experiences contributed to his later career.
【小题2】Why was the Francis Ouimet Fund set up to support Massachusetts kids only?
A.Because of the advice from the rich golf players.
B.Because of those giants with caddying experiences.
C.Because of the great success the caddies have achieved.
D.Because of the friendly relation between golfers and their caddies.
【小题3】According to Dick Connolly, caddying experience in your youth_____.
A.helps you learn to live with loneliness
B.teaches you a lot about business and life
C.makes it possible to meet with great people
D.offers you chances to communicate with others
【小题4】Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?
A.Legend of Peter Lynch.
B.An introduction of Golf Caddying.
C.Golf Caddying into Future Success.
D.Five Giants with Caddying Experiences.
