Passage 1
I drove to a local supermarket the other day. My shopping list was ___21__ and my wallet was light. Still, I needed to get a week’s worth of groceries for my family. I parked my car, looked down at my list, and hoped I could ___22__it all.
As I ___23__ the door, I saw a man with kind eyes and a gentle ___24___. He said he was collecting for a local food bank that helped to__ 25__ the hungry in my area. He handed me a second shopping list of things they could use and asked me to __26__ if I could. I smiled back, took the __27__ and walked into the store. I really wanted to help, but wasn’t sure if I could this time.
I walked through the store, picking up vegetables, soup, spaghetti, bread, milk, cereal, macaroni, bananas,and a dozen other things. I slowly ___28__ each item off my list until I was done. When I looked down at my full cart I ___29__ again if I even had enough to pay for it all. Then, as I put my own list back into my pocket, I saw the food ___30__ list under it. I smiled and decided to trust my heart.
With the food bank in mind, I went over and ___31___ two of the biggest boxes of rice the store had and put them in my cart. It took__32__ six dollars out of my wallet to pay for them,__33__ my heart felt six times larger when I did. And when everything was ___34___, I had just enough to pay for it all.
It _35___ so little to make our world a better place. A few dollars can help to fill a child’s __36__ belly(肚子). A smile and hug can help to ___37__ a hurting heart. An encouraging word can inspire someone else to live and to love. A random__38__ of kindness can change another’s day and life. It is up to us,___39__. If we can ___40___ a few dollars on rice , then we can share a love that will last forever.

Passage 2
Generally speaking, a British is widely regarded as a quiet, shy and conservative (保守) person who is
21
only among those with whom he is familiar. When a stranger is present, he often seems nervous,
22
embarrassed. You have to take a commuter train (通勤车) any morning or evening to
23
the truth of this. Serious-looking businessmen and women sit reading their newspapers or
24
off in a corner; hardly anybody talks, since to do so would be considered quite offensive (冒犯的).
25
, there is an unwritten but clearly understood code of behavior, which, once
26
, makes the offender immediately the object of
27
.
One of the few things we can say about the British with certainty is that a British takes a(n)
28
to the discussion of their weather and that, if given a chance, he will talk about it
29
. Some people argue that it is because the British weather
30
follows forecast and thus becomes a source of interest to everyone. This may be so. Certainly a British cannot have much
31
in the weathermen, whose predictions, in many cases,
32
to be wrong! The man in the street seems to be as accurate – or as inaccurate – as the weathermen in his
33
.
Foreigners may be surprised at the number of references
34
weather that the British make to each other in the course of a single day. Very often conversational greetings are
35
by comments on the weather. “Nice day, isn’t it?” “Beautiful day!” may well be heard instead of “Good morning, how are you?”
36
the foreigner may consider this exaggerated (夸大) and comic, it is worthwhile pointing out that it could be used to his
37
. If he wants to start a conversation with a British but is
38
to know where to begin, he could do well to mention the state of the weather. It is a(n)
39
subject to which a response may well be
40
of even the most reserved of the British.
21. A. relaxed
B. frustrated

Accepting the 24 , Johnson politely smiled and wished the salesman a pleasant weekend. The salesman made an unclear sound and seemed 25 that the two men had completed their business. As the two friends walked down the street, Devin asked, “Does he always treat you so 26 ?” “Yes, 27 , he does,” Johnson responded. “And are you always so 28 and friendly to him?” “Yes, I am!” Johnson 29 as they turned a corner. “Why are you so nice when he is so unfriendly to you?” Johnson 30 , “Because I don’t want him to decide how I am going to 31 .” Who 32 how you are going to act? Is it your circumstances or the difficult people in your life that determine your 33 ? When we allow our conflicts to 34 us, we behave as if getting rid of our difficulties is our only priority. 35 , it doesn’t really matter how we treat one another.
