As we get older, the fear of not having a good memory grows for many people. A lot of people  48  that the loss of memory can be the sign of Alzheimer’s(老年痴呆症).
It is true that as we grow older we are more    49   to develop Alzheimer’s. But with a proper lifestyle that includes a balanced diet and exercise, one can stay mentally     50   into their old age.
There are many causes of memory loss that have nothing to do with Alzheimer’s. As researchers come    51   to understanding Alzheimer’s, the outlook(前景) is    52   for people with this illness.

Memory loss is    54   a topic of concern for people. Having Alzheimer’s can lead to increased dependency on others. Not being able to manage basic daily    55  on your own or even not being able to recognize family members would be a serious hit to anyone.

I believe that families are not only blood relatives, but sometimes people who show up and love you when no one else will.
In May 1977, I was living in a Howard Johnson’s motel off Interstate 10 in Houston. My dad and I  21  a room with two double beds and a bathroom which was too  22  for a 15-year-old girl and her father. Dad’s second marriage was   23  and my stepmother had   24  us both out of the house the previous week. Dad had no   25_  what to do with me. And that’s when my other family   26 .
Barbara and Roland Beach took me into their home   27  their only daughter, Su, my best friend, asked them to. I   28  with them for the next seven years.
Barb washed my skirts the same as Su’s. She   29  I had lunch money, doctors’ appointments, help with homework and nightly hugs. Barbara and Roland attended every football game where Su and I were being cheerleaders.  30 I could tell, for the Beaches there was no  31 between Su and me; I was their daughter, too.
When Su and I  32 college they kept my room the same for the entire four years I attended school. Recently, Barb presented me with an insurance policy they bought when I first moved in with them and had continued to pay on for 23 years.
The Beaches knew  33 about me when they took me in – they had heard the whole story from Su. When I was seven, my mother died and from then on my father relied on other people to _34 his kids. Before I went to live with the Beaches I had believed that life was entirely   35__ and that love was shaky and untrustworthy. I had believed that the only person who would take care of me was me.
 36 the Beaches, I would have become a bitter, cynical (愤世嫉俗的) woman. They gave me a(n)  37 that allowed me to grow and change. They kept me from being paralyzed(使瘫痪 ,使麻痹 ,使无能力)by my _38   , and they gave me the confidence to open my heart.
I   39  family. For me, it wasn’t the family that was there on the day I was   40  , but the one that was there for me when I was living in a Howard Johnson’s on Interstate 10.

Once there was an 11-year-old boy who went fishing with his father in the middle of a New Hampshire lake. On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, they were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then the boy tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly he felt that something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm – two hours before the season opened. He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said.
“Dad!” cried the boy, “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats were in sight in the moonlight. He looked again at his father.
Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed. He threw the huge bass into the black water. The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish.
That was 34 years ago. Today the boy is successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish … again and again … every time he has an ethical (伦理的,道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
【小题1】What happened when the big fish turned out to be a bass?

A.The boy cooked the big fish. 
B.The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly. 
C.The father lit a match in order to check the time. 
D.They worried other fishermen may discover what they had done. 
【小题2】From the text we know that the father _________.
A.didn’t love his son B.always disagreed with his son 
C.disliked the huge fish  D.was firm and stubborn 
【小题3】The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because _________.
A.they might catch a big fish there 
B.he was taught a moral lesson there 
C.it was a most popular fishing spot 
D.their children enjoyed fishing there 
【小题4】What does the story imply?
A.It is easy to say something, but difficult to do 
B.An ethical decision is always easy to make. 
C.It’s hard to tell right from wrong sometimes 
D.Fishing can help one to make right decisions.

People always say that the earlier one learns a language, the     it is to do so, in theory it is that,     , in my opinion, that refers to spoken language.

When I entered Berkeley, I hoped to earn a scholarship. Having been a Straight-A student, I believed I could       tough subjects and really learn something. One such course was World Literature given by Professor Jayne. I was extremely interested in the ideas he       in class.
When I took the first exam, I was       to find a 77, C-plus, on my test paper,          English was my best subject. I went to Professor Jayne, who listened to my arguments but remained      . I decided to try harder, although I didn’t know what that       because school had always been easy for me. I read the books more carefully, but got another 77. Again, I          with Professor Jayne. Again, he listened patiently but wouldn’t change his      . One more test before the final exam. One more       to improve my grade. So I redoubled my efforts and, for the first time,       the meaning of the word “thorough”. But my       did no good and everything       as before.
The last hurdle(障碍) was the final. No matter what       I got, it wouldn’t cancel three C-pluses. I might as well kiss the       goodbye. I stopped working hard. I felt I knew the course material as well as I ever would. The night before the final, I even       myself to a movie. The next day I decided for once I’d have       with a test. A week later, I was surprised to find I got an A. I hurried into professor Jayne’s office. He       to be expecting me. “If I gave you the As you       , you wouldn’t continue to work as hard.” I stared at him,        that his analysis and strategy(策略) were correct. I had worked my head       , as I had never done before. I was speechless when my course grade arrived: A-plus. It was the only A-plus given. The next year I received my scholarship. I’ve always remembered Professor Jayne’s lesson: you alone must set your own standard of excellence.

Blameless
I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family, yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
“Who did this? ”my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
“This is all your fault, Katharine, ”my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the dinner table.
But the Whites didn’t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud of having a new driver’s license(驾照),Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed off her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah’s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat. After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous or just didn’t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping. The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I’ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had a few cuts on the head; Amy’s leg was broken. They hugged(拥抱)us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls’ tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her crutches(拐杖).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, “We’re so glad that you’re alive. ”
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop sign.
