One winter during college in New York, I took an 8 am history class to fulfill a requirement. It was 36 to get up for that class, but every morning I would 37 the cold winds and went to the lecture.

The professor for the class would step 38 into the room. He was terribly nervous about the class and always fixed his eyes on his book, never 39 us.

I felt that I needed to do something to 40 the boredom, so I tried to find something in his lecture to ask him, 41 me to pay attention rather than letting my eyes close. The first time 42 I raised my hand, he was surprised but was obviously 43 to have a question to answer. I continued to do this every day. The professor seemed to become a bit more 44 and some other students even joined in. In fact, his answers were always 45. In this way, I learned quite a lot and realized the professor was indeed a/an 46 in his field.

On the last day of class we 47 our books and headed out. The professor stepped directly in front of me, with obvious 48, putting out his hand. He said, “49 you for making my class so interesting,” shaking my hand and smiling. I was so 50. To me, it had been a pleasant way to 51 the time in his lesson. I had no idea that my 52 had any effect on him or the others at all.

That 53 has stayed with me for 30 years. I don’t 54 the fact I learned in his class, but I’ll never forget the professor who taught me a lesson about the 55 of acts of kindness, indeed or not.

No one else knew about the extra club in Zach Nash’s golf bag. It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament(锦标赛)last summer in Wisconsin, US.
The 14-year-old accepted his medal, celebrated with his grandparents who had come from a long way to watch. But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong. “Count your clubs,” he told the teenager.
Fifteen—one more than allowed. Zach’s eyes filled with tears.
If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered a violation after the win, it would not have mattered. It is nothing unusual for a soccer player to dive to the turf to draw fouls(假摔以使对方犯规).
Golf is different. In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard. Golf isn’t a game where referees watch closely. In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot. Competitors call penalties(处罚)on themselves.
“It was a sport for gentlemen, and gentlemen did not care about winning. They care about doing the right thing,” said Robert Simon, a golf coach at Hamilton College in New York.
Honesty became a medal of honor. When one of the game’s early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open, he replied: “You might as well praise a man for not robbing a bank.”
So even the error had no effect on Zach’s final score—he has never used the extra club, the teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail. “But this is golf, and rules are rules. I just knew what I had to do,” he said.   
Then came another tournament. Before teeing off(开球), Zach counted his clubs—four times.
【小题1】What can we infer from the text?  

A.A friend put an extra club in Zach’s bag.
B.Zach returned the medal that he had won.
C.Zach’s grandparents encouraged him to play fair.
D.Zach regretted meeting with the professional player.
【小题2】According to Robert, golf is different from other sports in that ______.
A.honor comes before victory
B.players are superior to coaches
C.referees have to watch each shot
D.players needn't care about medals
【小题3】 What can be learned from the underlined sentence?
A.One should be praised for not robbing a bank.
B.Bobby looked down upon bank robbers.
C.Little did Bobby care about the penalty.
D.Observing rules demands no praise.
【小题4】 Why did Zach count his clubs four times before the following tournament?
A.He remembered the lesson.B.He lacked self-confidence.
C.He felt a little too nervous.
D.He was no good with numbers.

Do you want to have a close friend? Do you know how to make a good friend? Now, let me tell you. Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kind of things they do.

The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face.

One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about him. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesn’t it make you want to keep talking to that person?

Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Who’s their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation, too. When someone asks you a question, do have an answer for them. There’s nothing that will stop a conversation quicker than a shrug (耸肩) for an answer.

Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.

1.What does the underlined word scared( in para.2) mean?

A.holy             B.frightening         C.happy            D.sad

2.The main idea is _________.

A.how to start a conversation                B.how to praise a person

C.how to make friends                     D.the importance of making friends

3.What kind of people are easy to become friends?

A.who are happy every day.                 B.who often speak ill of others.

C.who are good at communicating .           D.who share the same interest.

4.If a person shrug , what does he/she mean?

A.being very proud                       B.making no answer

C.being very happy                       D.be humorous

5.Most people enjoy talking to one _______.

A.who speaks highly of them                B.who are very out-going.

C.who is always smiling                     D.who points out their shortcomings
