There were loaves of Italian bread ready to be eaten. 16 were great with butter and even 17 (good) when you dipped them in the sauce（调味汁）. My grandma, 18 we called Nanny, would always bake them a day ahead so they would be ready. I remember watching her hand make the dough（面团）. I would often ask to help but only because I wanted to have 19 bite of the dough before she placed it in the pans to bake. One day I 20 (fool) asked Nanny why she didnt just buy bread at the store 21 (save) time. “Because theyre not as good,” she said 22 her thick Italian accent. Then she laughed, smiled, and gave me a piece of dough to eat.Nanny was right. Today I buy my bread at the store and it isnt as good. It is factory-made and 23 (lack) all the taste, warmth, and love that Nanny put into hers.

It occurred to me that this may not be the most dignified posture for a Buddhist nun(尼姑). I had seen the old lady from the seat in front of me as she walked up and down the passage with a flashlight. I asked a few times what was wrong, but she didnt answer at first she couldnt hear me. She was wearing a woolen coat. Judging from her accent, she came from Eastern Europe.Do you know what hearing aids cost? Thousands, especially for the new tiny hidden-in-the-ear type she described. It takes a long time for an appointment to make a new one, and many doctor visits to get the thing adjusted right. Therefore, my dignity seemed less important than finding that hearing aid. But how does one find a tiny black object in a shadowy jet cabin（机舱）?The lady wasnt even sure where or when she had lost it. At one point, a couple of flight attendants did a random search around the ladys seat; I wasnt impressed. They left suggesting that she search the seat of her previous flight! My flashlight turned up all kinds of small objects, bits of plastic, broken pieces of headphones.The old lady said that she gave up. Yet I couldnt. After we landed, as passengers streamed past us, I insisted that the lady move aside while awaiting her wheelchair. Then I got into a real down and dirty search among the dust under her seat and on the floor.Look! A little peanut-sized shiny black object caught the light of my flashlight in a floor crack near her seat. What a rush. “I found it!” With great astonishment and gratitude, the old lady responded, “I havent the words to express my thanks!”【文章解读】本文是英语小故事。该文讲述了作者在坐飞机上遇到一个丢失助听器的老太太，作者费尽九牛二虎之力找到助听器的善举。26.

While in the eighth grade, he failed subjects repeatedly. High school wasnt much better; he flunked Latin, algebra, English, and received a grade of zero in physics. The boy managed to make the school golf team, but he lost the most important golf match of the season. Its not that his peers(同龄人) disliked this boy; its just that they never really seemed to notice him much. Even “Hellos” in the hall were a rarity. Out of all the failures in his life, there was something that did hold great importance to this boy, his love of drawing. Although in high school, the cartoons he submitted to the yearbook were rejected, once out of school, the boy was so sure of his artistic talent that he approached Walt Disney Studios with drawing works. I wish I could say the studios loved his work and immediately hired him, but such was not the case; another huge rejection. Despite his lack of successes, this boy did not give up. He then decided to write his own autobiography in cartoons, about a little boy who was regarded as a loser and a nobody. The name of this boy was Charles Schulz, the creator of the famous Charlie Brown and comic dog Snoopy. In life, it is sometimes easy to feel like a nobody. We pass hundreds of people on the street on our way to work, or walk through a faceless crowd in a mall, and no one seems to notice or care. Deep inside, we may know we are special and unique and have lots to offer, but unless someone takes the time to look our way and give us a chance, we may feel worthless, just like Charlie Brown who couldnt even manage to fly a kite or kick a football properly. Just as Charles Schulz had faith in his artistic talent, so too, we must realize that nobody is a nobody. We all have special gifts and talents, and every human being is deserving and capable of being loved and appreciated. 【文章解读】该文章通过一个历经失败而最后坚守成功的男孩故事告诉我们：天生我材必有用，坚守梦想并付诸努力就一定能成功。31.

It threatens(威胁) food security and hurts the environment. Officials are using new observational technology to fight illegal fishing.“Thank you for taking the time to join us here in Harwell (UK) in the Operations Center to what we call Project Eyes on the Seas.” says Tony Long, who leads the Ending Illegal Fishing program for Pew Charitable Trusts. The group created Project Eyes on the Seas. Large three-dimensional images of a globe can be seen on a video.“It looks different from what you might expect because this globe only shows you the boats that are coming into this system from a live automated information system or AIS.”The screen shows 120,000 fishing boats have AIS. They are required to have the technology. But those who are fishing illegally often turn it off. The technology does not tell observers when that happens. Project Eyes on the Seas combines satellite information with secret government records on every ships past activities.Mr. Long says that permits researchers to understand exactly where the fishing boats are operating.
