Susan Williams went to a boarding（寄膳宿）school. Here is one of the letters she wrote to her parents from the school.

Dear Mom and Dad，

I’m afraid I have some very bad news for you. I have been very naughty and the school headmaster is very angry with me. She is going to write to you. You must come and take me away from here. She does not want me in the school any longer.

The trouble started last night when I was smoking a cigarette in bed. This is against the rules, of course. We are not supposed to smoke at all.

As I was smoking, I heard footsteps coming towards the room. I did not want a teacher to catch me smoking, so I threw the cigarette away. Unfortunately, the cigarette fell into the waste­paper basket, which caught fire. There was a curtain near the waste­paper basket which caught fire, too. Soon the whole room was burning. The headmaster phoned for the fire department. The school is a long way from the town and by the time the firefighters arrived, the whole school was in flames. Many of the girls are in the hospital.

The headmaster says that the fire was all my fault and you must pay for the damage. She will send you a bill for about a million dollars.

I am very sorry about this.

Much love, Susan.

P. S. None of the above is true, but I have failed my exams, I just want you to know how bad things could have been！

51. In this letter Susan wanted　　　　.

A. to tell her parents about the fire

B. to ask for a million dollars

C. to tell her parents she had failed her exams

D. to tell her parents she had to leave school

52. The headmaster might be angry with Susan because　　　　.

A. she had failed her exams

B. she had been caught smoking in bed

C. she had not phoned for the fire department in time

D. it was her fault that the school had caught fire

53. Susan told her parents about the fire　　　　.

A. to warn them about what the headmaster would do

B. to make them less angry at her real news

C. to make them feel worried

D. to make them laugh

The last day of the final examination arrived. In a large eastern university, on the steps of one building, a group of students were talking about the exam that was going to begin in a few 26. On their faces was confidence. This was their 27 exam—then on to graduation and jobs.
　　Some talked of jobs they already had, others talked of jobs they 28 get. With the certainty of four years of college, they felt 29 and able to take control of the world.
　　The coming exam, they knew, would be a(n) 30 task, as the professor had said they could bring 31books or notes they wanted, requesting only that they did not 32 each other during the test.
　　33 they entered the classroom. The professor handed out the papers. And smiles 34 on the students’ faces as they found there were only five questions.
　　Three hours had passed 35 the professor began to collect papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was a frightened expression. Papers in hand, no one spoke as the professor faced the class.
　　He looked at the 36 faces before him, and then asked, “How many completed all five questions?” 37 a hand was raised.
　　“How many answered four?” Still no hand.
　　“Three? Two?” The students moved restlessly in their seats.
　　“One, then? Certainly somebody finished 38 .”But the class remained silent.
　　The professor put down the papers. “That is exactly what I 39 ,” he said. “I just want you to know that, although you have completed four years of study, there are 40 many things about the 41 you don’t know. These questions you could not answer are relatively common in 42 practice.” Then, smiling, he added, “You will all 43 this course, but remember—even though you are now college graduates, your education had just 44 .”
The years have weakened the name of the professor, but not the 45 he taught.

Directions: Complete the following passage by using ONE word that fits the context.

Dear Anne,

I have done a lot of thinking about what happened last week for the past few days. 　48　 I begin, I just want you to know that whatever I’m about to say are sincere thoughts from the bottom of my heart. I know that after what happened, 　49　 will be difficult for you to accept my apology. 　50　 I want you to forgive me and think about our friendship.

What encouraged me to write this apology letter was our friendship, 　51　 is really valuable to me. I cannot even imagine ending our friendship because of 　52　 silly misunderstanding that took place between us. I feel that I acted 　53　 a rude way, but you never gave me a chance to speak out. I hope　54　  can understand each other better.

I agree that I should have trusted you and should 　55　 have been influenced by others. But now I really feel very regretful. I hope this letter will get you to give our friendship a second chance. I hope to get a positive reply from you.

                                                                                                     Yours truly,

                                                                                                 Jenna.
