Ban the Band(乐队)?
Every year,our school has a dance for all the students.It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 1,instead of the usual school uniform.
Most of us think the dance is great 2—even the teachers enjoy being there. 3,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 4band this year—only CDs.
“I don’t 5it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t 6a band,and they think it’s too noisy anyway,”added Daniel.
“Well,I don’t think it’s 7enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her 8.In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 9some more thought.And he suggested that one 10for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10.Angela had to 11out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,”she 12to our group before school the next day.“Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their 13about the band and the extra cost.”
14the day we asked around as Angela suggested,and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost.We were amazed how much 15there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr. Berry,when we gave him the 16.“I really thought that only a few people 17their band and that the cost would be too high.OK,Angela,your next 18is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”
Angela was all smiles and 19the news to Amy and Daniel.“You’re 20,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负)others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 , and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view (黑白分明的观点). For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so guilty (有罪的) when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is starving.
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to treat others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones---so who is to decide what is right?
1. A.kind B.sensitive C.fair D.generous
2. A.equally B.slightly C.clearly D.increasingly

Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago, 35 I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed.

When I come across a good article in reading newspapers,I often want to cut and keep it.But just as I am about to do so,I find the article on the 31 side is as much interesting.It may be a discussion of the way to 32 in good health,or advice about how to behave and 33 yourself in society.If I cut the front articles,the opposite one is likely to suffer 34 ,leaving one half of it or keeping the text 35 the title.Therefore,the scissors would stay before they start, 36 the cutting would be halfway done when I find out the 37 result.
Sometimes two things are to be done at the same time,both worth your 39 .You can only take up one of them;the other has to wait or be 39 up.But you know the future is unpredictable—the changed situation may not 40 you to do what is left behind.Thus you are 41 in a difficult position and feel sad.How come nice 42 and clever ideas should gather around all at once?
