A man was bitterly envious of his neighbour.He spent long hours in prayer,wanting to be     to his neighbour in every aspect of life.
One night,God appeared before him in a dream and said,“I am pleased with your       .Ask for a gift     your neighbour will get the same gift in double amount.”
He was glad but sad that his enemy would get a greater gift.He requested,“God,      the sight in one of my eyes.”
With his single eye,he peeped at his neighbour but was     to see his neighbour's sight was not lost! Confused,he       to God,“Why don’t you keep your word?”
God said,“Son,I always keep my word.              is not a gift,but a curse.You have the gift of sight in only one eye now,as asked by you.But your neighbour has sight in both of his eyes.I       the gift.”
He suddenly       from his dream and was sure that it was a message from God.Englightened by the dream,he went to his neighbour and begged his pardon for thinking and acting       him.They embraced each other and were good friends thereafter.

“Only one   27  per yard,” replied the smirking (自鸣得意的) male clerk.
Not to be  28   back by the funny words, the woman said,” That’s fine! I’ll take ten yards.”
With  29    written all over his face, the clerk 30     measured out and wrapped the cloth, then held it out teasingly(戏弄地 ),  31   forward to receive his “   32  ”.

Pessimistic,anxious and depressed people may have a higher risk of dementia (痴呆),US researchers reported on Thursday.
A study of a group of 3,500 people showed that those who scored high for pessimism on a standardized personality test had a 30 percent increased risk of developing dementia 30 to 40 years later.
Those scoring very high on both anxiety and pessimism scales had a 40 percent higher risk,the study showed.
“There appears to be a dose­response pattern.That is,the higher the scores,the higher the risk of dementia,”Dr Yonas Geda,a neuropsychiatrist at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,Minnesota who led the study,said in a statement.
Geda and his colleagues looked at the medical records of 3,500 men and women who lived near the clinic between 1962 and 1965.
They all took the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory,a standard personality and life experience test,Geda’s team told a meeting of the American Academy of Neurology in Miami.
In 2004,the team interviewed the participants or family members.
Those who scored higher for anxiety and pessimism on the test were more likely,as a group,to have developed dementia by 2004,including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular (血管的) dementia.
This did not mean a person who is pessimistic could assume he or she has a higher risk of developing dementia.
“One has to be cautious in interpreting a study like this,”Geda said.
“One cannot make a leap from group level data to the individual.Certainly the last thing you want to do is to say,‘Well,I am a pessimist;thus,I am doomed to develop dementia 20 or 30 years later,’because this may end up becoming a self­fulfilling prophecy (预言).”
And there is NOT any specific way to prevent dementia,although many studies have shown that a healthy diet,exercise,keeping active in other ways,doing puzzles and other activities lower the risk.
【小题1】What is the passage mainly about?

A.It is impossible for people to avoid dementia.
B.People who always have negative feelings may have a higher risk of getting dementia.
C.If we have a healthy diet,we would have no chance of getting dementia.
D.A person who is pessimistic has a higher risk of developing dementia.
【小题2】According to the passage,which of the following is TRUE?
A.There are many ways to prevent dementia effectively.
B.A person who is pessimistic is sure to get dementia.
C.Those who lead a happy life will not get dementia when they are old.
D.Those who scored high for pessimism might have a higher risk of dementia.
【小题3】Which of the following does NOT help reduce the risk of getting dementia according to the passage?
A.A healthy diet. B.Proper exercises.
C.Doing puzzles. D.Getting up early.
【小题4】Which of the following words is not close to the meaning of the word “pessimistic”?
A.Cheerless. B.Optimistic.
C.Unhappy. D.Upset.

Over the past few decades, more and more countries have opened up the markets, increasingly transforming the world economy into one free-flowing global market. The question is:Is economic globalization       for all?
According to the World Bank, one of its chief supporters, economic globalization has helped reduce       in a large number of developing countries. It quotes one study that shows increased wealth       to improved education and longer life in twenty-four developing countries as a result of integration (融合) of local economies into the world economy. Home to some three billion people, these twenty-four countries have seen incomes       at an average rate of five percent—compared to two percent in developed countries.
Those who       globalization claim that economies in developing countries will benefit from new opportunities for small and home-based businesses.      , small farmers in Brazil who produce nuts that would originally have sold only in       open-air markets can now promote their goods worldwide by the Internet.
Critics take a different view, believing that economic globalization is actually       the gap between the rich and poor. A study carried out by the U.N.-sponsored World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalization shows that only a few developing countries have actually       from integration into the world economy and that the poor, the uneducated, unskilled workers, and native peoples have been left behind.      , they maintain that globalization may eventually threaten emerging businesses. For example, Indian craftsmen who currently seem to benefit from globalization because they are able to       their products may soon face fierce competition that could put them out of      . When large-scale manufacturers start to produce the same goods, or when superstores like Wal-Mart move in, these small businesses will not be able to       and will be crowded out.
One thing is certain about globalization—there is no      . Advances in technology combined with more open policies have already created an interconnected world. The       now is finding a way to create a kind of globalization that works for the benefit of all.

The    13    kids are in the other corner of the playground. They are very bright, but they don’t have great    14   skills, not popular with the opposite sex and they are    15   at sports.
