This morning, I received a phone call from one of my close friends, Nikko, which immediately changed this bright sunny day into a dark terrible pit of endless sorrow. He told me that Diane’s dad had just  36  , at 12:00 on January 3,2008.

Nikko told me that Diane had  37  everything about her dad on her blog, so I  38  right up from bed and got to her blog instantly. Her blog, always so  39  and nice, is suddenly filled with sorrow and grief.

She must have been writing with  40  streaming down her cheeks, with eyes so  41  from the sleepless night, and with a heart so  42  and regretful and yet, she wrote the post, full of determination and will,  43  strength and love. She showed no  44  of weakness and retreat. She  45  that she didn’t notice how her father was feeling before the sudden stroke (中风)   46 him on his sleep. I feel so sorry for her , as her close friend, that I am not able to give her my support and a shoulder to  47  because I live so far away. But I know she will be  48  . She had determined to become the pillar(支柱) of  49  for her mom and her brother.

Although Diane’s father is no longer  50  , his memories would always be with his family. I gave Diane my deepest condolence（吊唁）for her  51  of her most beloved one.

I have known Diane and her family ever since we were in primary school.  52  can be really cruel sometimes,  53  someone or something you have learned to love and rely on. A(n)  54  death like Diane’s father is the most sorrowful. Destiny didn’t even give his family the  55  to say their last goodbyes.

Diane wanted everyone to cherish their loved ones and do not wait until it’s already too late. Tell them you love them and let them know how you feel before it’s too late.

Mr. Flower was well-known around for growing the best flowers of the year, and his four glass houses were taken good care of. These glass-houses were close to a public road, which was always used 　 36 children and young people walking to and from 　 37　 , boys about thirteen years of age, especially, were often tempted (尝试) to throw a stone or two at one of Mr. Flower’s 　 38　 , They managed to resist the temptation (抵制诱惑) when Mr. Flower was around, but the temptation often seemed to be too 　 39　 when Mr. Flower was 　 40　 to be seen. For this reason, Mr. Flower did his best to be 　 41　 at glass houses at the beginning and end of the school days.

　 However, it was not always possible for him to be on guard at these times. Mr. Flower had tried 　 42　 to prevent the damage to his glass, but nothing that he had done had been 　 43　 . He had been to the school to complain to the headmaster, but this had not done any 　 44 . He had hidden in the bushes and 　 45　 those boys that threw stones 　 46　 his garden, but the boys could run 　 47　 faster than he, and they even 　 48　 at him at a distance. He had even walked along the road and picked up all those 　 49　 that he could find so that the boys would have nothing to 　 50 , but they soon found others, or threw lumps (团) of earth instead.

　 Then just he had given 　51 hopes of winning the battle, a truly wonderful 　 52　 came up to him. He set up a large note board (布告牌) made up good strong wood, some meters away from the glass houses 　 53　 it could be clearly seen from the road. On the board he painted the 　 54　 : DO NOT THROW AT THIS NOTICE. After this, Mr. Flower had no 　 55　 . The boys were much more tempted to throw stones at the notice board than at the glass houses.

This is the VOA Special English Education Report. A few weeks ago, we talked about the Test of English as a Foreign Language, or TOEFL. A listener in Cambodia named Thida asks if American colleges and universities also accept the IELTS exam. IELTS is the International English Language Testing System. It was developed by University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations.

Cambridge ESOL says the test measures true－to－life ability to communicate in English for education, immigration or employment. The IELTS tests listening, reading, writing and speaking skills. It uses a mixture of accents and spellings, including British English and American English.

The test is used by government agencies, schools and professional organizations in one hundred twenty countries. __1__ Many American schools that accept the IELTS can be found on the Web at ielts.org.

__2__ But the graduate school at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, for example, says it prefers the IELTS.

The listening and speaking parts are the same for everyone who takes the IELTS. But people have a choice of reading and writing tests—either academic or general training. The listening test takes thirty minutes. __3__

The reading test takes sixty minutes. Students answer forty questions based on three written passages.

The writing test also takes sixty minutes. Students have to write two essays. One essay has to be at least one hundred fifty words long and the other at least two hundred fifty words. __4__ The longer one has to support an argument.

__5__ The score is based on a recorded talk between the student and a test examiner.

A. IELTS is a comprehensive test of your English proficiency.

B. And, yes, that includes the United States.

C. The shorter one is a description of something.

D. Some schools accept both the TOEFL and the IELTS.

E. These language skills are increasingly demanded by international employers, education institutions and professional associations.

F. There are forty questions based on a recording.

G. The speaking test takes less than fifteen minutes.
