Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember the name of a person. I have forgotten the name of an old lady who was a(n)   31   on my paper route when I was a twelve-year-old boy.

I found myself a perfectly smooth rock and sent it for a ride. The stone was too smooth, however, so it   37   from my hand as I let it go and headed   38   for a small window on the old lady’s back wall.
I was too scared about getting   39   that first night to be concerned about the old lady with the broken window. However, a few days later,   40   I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel   41   for her misfortune.
I made up my mind that I would   42   my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had the seven dollars that I   43   would cover the cost of her window. I put the money in an envelope with a(n)   44   explaining that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would cover the   45   for repairing it.
I waited until it was dark, then put the envelope through the letter slot in her door.
The next day, I   46   the old lady her paper and was able to   47   the warm smile that I was   48   her. She thanked me for the paper and said,“Here, I have something for you.”It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and ate the cookies as I   49   my route.
After several cookies, I   50   an envelope. When I opened the envelope, I was shocked. Inside was the seven dollars and a short note that said,“I’m proud of you.”

A deadly strain of avian flu may have passed between people for the first time, experts believe.The avian influenza A (H7N9) virus is thought to have been transmitted between father and daughter in eastern China, according to research published online by the British Medical Journal (BMJ).

    The findings provide the strongest evidence yet of H7N9 transmission between humans since its discover in February, but its ability to transmit itself was deemed "limited and non-sustainable" by the Chinese researchers behind the study.At the end of June 133 cases had been reported, including 43 deaths. Most infections have been among people visiting markets, selling live birds or among those who had contact with live poultry（家禽） in the seven to 10 days before becoming ill.

The latest study examined the case of a 60-year-old father who regularly visited a live poultry market and became ill five to six days after his last visit in March. He was admitted to hospital with fever, cough and shortness of breath. Despite intensive care treatment he died of multiple organ failure on 4 May. His 32-year-old daughter, who was previously healthy, looked after him at his bedside before he was admitted to intensive care. She had no known exposure to live poultry before falling ill with a very high temperature, cough and fever. The daughter developed symptoms six days after her last contact with her father and was admitted to hospital where she died of multiple organ failure on 24 April.

Follow-up investigations(调查) uncovered almost genetically identical virus strains from each patient, suggesting transmission from father to daughter. Another 43 people were also tested who had had close contact with the father, daughter or both.

Dr Peter Horby, senior clinical research fellow at the Oxford University Clinical Research Unit in Hanoi, Vietnam, said of the study: "The most likely source of infection for the daughter was her father, during the period that she cared for him while he was ill. "He said “limited person to person transmission had been reported for other strains like H5N1 , H7N7, and the pig origin flu virus H3N2. Those strains had been around for more than a decade but have not progressed any further down the path towards a world-wide virus.” “Limited human-to-human transmission of H7N9 virus is therefore not surprising, but strengthening to monitor it was still needed,” Dr Horby added.

B. H7N9 transmission may be spreading between people .

C. 133 cases of H7N9 transmission have been reported .

“What kind of  33   are you going to do? An ad for a Frankenstein movie?” More laughter. My stomach twisted into a tight knot. How could they humiliate (羞辱) me like this, in front of the entire school? As I walked into the cafeteria, I  34   the dark scars on my right hand.

At 9 months old, I knocked over a tea pot and dumped boiling water all over my hands and stomach. My parents  35   me to the hospital, but I had to have skin graft (移植) operation. I was in so much pain! But what  36  me most were the cruel things people said about how I looked, like that day at lunch.

The girls were being super mean to me because they’d heard I was considering doing some modeling. A close friend had suggested that I shouldn’t let my scars  37  me and that I might make a good model.

But after that  38   at school, I was sure I’d made a huge mistake. Upon arriving home, I covered the mirror with a blanket, fell on my bed and sobbed.

    The next day, I   39  myself to go to school. At lunch my best friend Jesse tried to encourage me: “You can’t  40  forever, Jenny. So what if you have a few scars? Just go outside and show them that you’re just as good as they are.” Although I knew he was right, I couldn’t imagine standing up for myself like that.

However, that night as I sat on the bed, my friend’s words replayed in my mind. I’m  41   hiding from myself, I thought. How stupid! Slowly, I stood up, walked over to the  42 , and tossed the blanket aside. There, in the mirror I saw a slim, dark-haired, blue-eyed girl, looking just fine, 43  with a few scars.

The next day I wore a comfortable T-shirt to school. What’s more, I had lunch outside the cafeteria,

 44  beside those mean girls. They were shocked that I should dare to walk into their territory. I felt different too—free and happy.

Sometimes people still look at me strangely. They whisper and stare, but I don’t let it get to me. I have applied to several modeling companies, and at least one company is considering me for jobs. Maybe I’ll never  45   posing on the runway (T形舞台), but I do know one thing: I’m done.

A. as             B. when                 C. while            D. before

A. nodding        B. cheering             C. laughing         D. quarreling

It was a normal Monday morning at an assembly, and the old headmaster was addressing the students on important things in life and about   21   ourselves to what is important to us. This is how the story went:
   An old man lived in a certain part of London, and he would wake up every morning and go to the   22  . He would get the train right to Central London, and then sit at the street corner and   23  . He would do this every single day of his life. He sat at the same street corner and begged for almost 20 years.
   His house was filthy (肮脏的), and a stench came out of the house and it smelled   24  . The neighbors could not   25   the smell anymore, so they summoned the police officers to   26   the place. The officers   27   down the door and cleaned the house. There were small bags of   28   all over the house that he had   29   over the years.
   The police counted the money, and they soon realized that the old man was a   30  . They waited outside his house in anticipation (预料) to   31   the good news with him. When he arrived home that evening, he was met by one of the officers who told him that there was no   32   for him to beg any more as he was a rich man now, a millionaire.
He said   33   at all; he went into his house and locked the door. The next morning he woke up as usual, went to the street and continued to beg.
  34  , this old man had no great plans, dreams or anything   35   for his life. We learn nothing from this story other than staying   36   the things we enjoy doing, commitment.
