I have a friend who had a stammer (口吃) in his childhood, but he dreamed of becoming a missionary(传教士). When he told his own desire to his friends and relatives, some of them laughed at him, and some even held down his enthusiasm .
"I must change it." said the boy angrily, “I believe I can speak very , I will do!"
When it was possible, he would spend an hour to chickens. He viewed the chickens as living persons, himself to be the person in the speech.
"In the beginning, the chickens looked so , then they watched me curiously, putting down the food in the mouths and listening to my words. It seemed as if they had been by my powerful and effective language. Sometimes they seemed to be listening to me . Gradually, the effect of this practice became more and more and I had a better understanding of the exact of my stammer, so I found the ability to speak more."
"You may not know that my father was always tyrannical(专横的). He believed in the old saying: 'Young man should be more knowledgeable, but should not much.' During the whole childhood, I spoke or commented, he criticized me seriously, which my shy personality. I used to worry about being at, so I became a stammerer. From then on, I kept in front of everyone because they didn't want to see my embarrassment. But later I found myself talking in front of chickens, stammers disappeared , therefore I regained my ."
Now, the previous boy is the best at speaking and one of the most missionaries. You can hardly imagine he used to have a serious language . So when you come across disadvantages, you should believe you can them by yourself.

解析试题分析：
一个从小口吃的男孩，因为有梦、想成为最好的传教士，刻苦练习，最终战胜了口吃并成为成功的传教士。
【小题1】A. sincerely：真诚地； B. impolitely：无礼地、粗鲁地； C. strangely：奇怪地；D. privately：私下地、背地里。题意：当男孩向亲朋叙说自己的愿望时，有些人粗鲁地打击他的热情。故B项正确。
【小题2】A. frequently：经常地、频繁地；B. fluently：流利地；C. obviously：明显地；D. completely：完全地、彻底地。题意：男孩相信自己能克服口吃的毛病，把话说流利。故B项正确。
【小题3】A. contribute to：为……做贡献、捐赠；B. see to：照看、照管； C. turn to：转向（某人寻求帮助） D. speak to：对着……说话。题意：为练习说话、克服口吃，男孩一有机会就会对着鸡群说话。故D项正确。
【小题4】A. imagine：想象；B. consider：认为、将……看做……；C. declare：宣布、宣称；D. find：发现。题意：男孩将鸡群看成活人，而将自己想象成演讲人。consider指“观点、看法”，涉及对某人或某事的评价。与题意不合。故A项正确。
【小题5】A. satisfied：满意的；B. pleased：高兴的；C. frightened；害怕的；D. surprised：惊讶的。题意：男孩刚开始对着鸡群说话时，鸡仔们自然的反应就是“害怕”。后来被逐渐吸引。“惊讶”、“满意”、“高兴”等都不能用来描述鸡仔们的反应。故C项正确。
【小题6】A. attracted：被吸引；B. beaten：被击败、沮丧；C. bothered：被打搅；D. influenced：被影响。题意：鸡仔们放下口中食物，倾听男孩的话，似乎被他有力而有效的语言所吸引。故A项正确。
【小题7】A. casually：随意地；B. carefully：仔细地；C. luckily：幸运地；D. cautiously：谨慎地。题意：从上文“放下口中食物倾听”可知，鸡仔们在“仔细地”听男孩说话。故选择B项。
【小题8】A. obvious：明显的；B. slight：轻微的；C. crucial：至关重要的；D. common：常见的。题意：练习的效果越来越明显。后文也说明，男孩最终摆脱了口吃的毛病，正是找到口吃原因以及练习的缘故。故A项正确。
【小题9】A. effect：效果、影响；B. benefit：好处、益处；C. cause：原因、起因；D. harm：害处、坏处。从下文可知：男孩的父亲专横，认为“男孩子可博学但不可多话”，整个孩提时代，只要他说话或发表看法，他父亲就会严厉批评他。这正是造成男孩口吃的原因。故C项正确。
【小题10】A. originally：起初；B. personally：亲自；C. doubtfully：犹豫不决；D. stubbornly：固执地。题意：男孩父亲固执地信奉“男孩子要博学少言”的古训。从男孩一说话父亲就严厉批评来看，其态度是坚定的。故D项正确。
【小题11】A. think：认为；B. listen：听；C. play：玩耍；D. talk：谈话、说话。古训：男孩要博学但不可多话。D项正确。
【小题12】A. since：因为；自从；B. before：在……之前；C. whenever：无论何时；D. unless：除非。题意：无论何时，只要男孩说话，都会受到父亲严厉指责。故选择C项。
【小题13】A. apply to：申请；B. lead to：导致；C. refer to：指；参看；D. owe sth. to sb.：欠某人某物。 题意：父亲的严厉指责“造成”男孩害羞的性格。B项正确。
【小题14】A. amaze：使 ……惊奇；B. study：研究、学习；C. laugh：大笑；D. look：看。题意：因为害羞，过去总是担心被人“嘲笑”，所以变成了口吃。laugh at sb. 嘲笑某人。C项正确。
【小题15】A. silent：沉默的；B. active：活跃的；C. noisy：吵闹的；D. upset：难过的。题意：因为害羞、怕人嘲笑，所以在人前保持沉默。A项符合题意。
【小题16】A. logically：逻辑上；B. typically：典型地；C. equally：平等地；D. naturally：自然地。题意：对着鸡仔说话，不必担心被嘲笑，口吃“自然”也就消失了。D项正确。
【小题17】A. strength：力量、力气；B. dream：梦想；C. confidence：自信；D. freedom：自由。题意：口吃消失了，自然获得了“自信”。C项正确。
【小题18】A. successful：成功的；B. intelligent：聪明的；C. modest：谦逊的；D. responsible：有责任心的、需负责的。男孩的梦想是成为传教士，他做到了，且很成功。他现在能言善辩，这与“聪明”、“谦虚”、“有责任心”等没有关系。故选择A项。
【小题19】A. gift：礼物、天资；B. barrier：障碍；C. ability：能力；D. study：学习。题意：看到他现在能言善辩，很难想象过去的他曾有语言障碍。B项符合题意。
【小题20】A. arrange：安排；B. exchange：交换；C. reduce：减少；D. change：改变。题意：遇到劣势，要相信自己能够“改变”劣势。D项正确。

Eighty-year-old retired tailor, James McKay, spent Saturday night in jail after thirty-year-old Keith Smith over the head his walking stick. McKay's wife, Laurence told us that while McKay is usually a person, he had been to this act of violence by getting wet just once too often.
Smith lives above the McKays and it appears that not only is he a keen gardener, he is also a collector. Unfortunately for him, the water he sent over his balcony every day ended up on the McKay's, or too often, on the McKays .
“For the last fortnight, since Smith moved into the flat above us, we have hardly dared to go to our ,” said Laurence. She added that it wasn't so much the water falling onto their balcony from Smith watering his plant bothered them, it was more the way he cleaned his fish tanks. “We'd be there happily reading our newspapers, when so much water would come from above that we'd be as wet as if we'd with our clothes on! Neither could we get rid of the of fish!”
And on Saturday evening it was just too . “It was James's birthday,” explained Laurence, “and I'd made him a birthday cake. The candles were a great sight as you can imagine, but James didn't get to blow them out.” , Smith emptied one of his larger tanks over his balcony and both the McKays and the cake were wet . Rarely had Laurence seen McKay move so fast. “I couldn't him. He was up there in a flash. It was the fastest I'd seen him move since 1964.”
Smith is not going to take things further with the police. He has also promised to change his from now on. And what of James McKay? he left the police station, a large crowd of supporters sang him, “Happy Birthday”. “ the most exciting birthday !” said the cheerful old man. “The best since my adolescence I'd say!”

I am in the of doing my project now and I cannot wait to see the wonderful that I’m going to achieve. In the long run, I know it will be a great to me down the road, opening doors to my path. Another goal in my life is to fly to new and go where no one else has to go before. I am a big leader at my school and I try to do new things that are in order to make things successful. I try to reach to the highest in order to make every event and idea “with a bang!” I also want to do things to the world somewhere down the road. After seeing friends go into , I have thought about being a missionary(传教士) in a third world country for a couple of summers after I from the high school.
