I had seen an agency (中介机构) advertised in a local newspaper. I rushed out of the  1  in search of it. I was wildly excited, and as  as if I were going on the stage. Finding the  quite easily, I ran breathlessly through a door which said “Enter without knocking, if you please.”
The simple atmosphere of the office   4  me. The woman looked carefully at me  5  through her glasses, and then  me in a low voice. I answered softly. All of a sudden I started to feel rather  7  . She wondered why I was looking for this sort of  8  . I felt even more helpless when she told me that it would be   9  to get a job without  10  .

I heard her say: “  12 , I’ve got someone in the  13  at this very moment who might  14 .” She wrote down a  15 , and held it out to me, saying: “ Ring up this lady. She wants a   16  immediately.

“ Oh yes,” said I —  17  having cooked for more than four in my life. I  18  her again and again, and rushed out to the   19  telephone box.

Early this morning, I got up to make a batch of Rice Krispie Treats for my neighbor across the hall. She barely greets me when we see each other, and her sweet little boy, who's now four,  has picked up her mother's manner and will not talk to me, either.
Last Monday, she had called the firefighters when a pan I'd forgotten on the stove caused my flat to fog up while I was out taking a walk. When I came home, the street in front of our apartment house was blocked by a police car, a fire truck and an ambulance! The instant I saw them, I remembered the pan! Luckily, nothing serious had happened, and all my neighbors agreed with the firefighter who said, "It could have happened to anyone." When I thanked the neighbor who had called the firefighters-let's call her Ivy-and apologized for causing the trouble, she just asked if my cats were all right.When I said they were fine, she said, "Well, that's ok then," and turned into her flat.l felt strangely safe, knowing that even though we don't get along, she'd done the right thing and didn't blame me.So, the Rice Krispie Treats.
Last Christmas, my neighbor carelessly let it out that she was holding a grudge (怨恨) towards me because of an incident we'd had four years ago.I had particularly apologized and asked if there was anything I could do to improve our relationship. She would not accept my apology.
It had taken me a lot of courage to apologize and ask that question instead of insisting that we both shared responsibility for what had happened.Her flat-out refusal to make amends(补偿) really shocked and saddened me.After that, I decided I'd just leave her be-a relationship takes two to work.So, you see, I was really scared she was going to refuse my offer again, leaving me standing on her doorstep, facing the closed door and holding my plate of treats. I know some people have a hard time understanding how the possibility of rejection can make an adult so afraid, but that's just the way I felt.
Then, I reminded myself of how loving and good I had felt yesterday when I'd done some random acts of kindness (thanks to helpothers.org), after telling myself: Feet the fear,  and do it anyway! So I put the squares of Rice Krispie Treats on a beautiful plate, opened my apartment  door-and there she was, standing in the hallway.I smiled and said, "Hi," but when she saw me, she turned on her heels and went back inside, even though she seemed to have just stepped out.I went after her, regardless, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I've got something for you ! I just wanted to tell you how grateful I am that you were paying attention on Monday." When she heard me speaking, she turned around. As I held the plate towards her, explaining these were very sweet American treats, and that she could just try and see whether she and her family would like them, her eyebrows winged up-and she took the plate.l was so happy and excited.We then talked a bit about how she'd become aware of the smoke in my flat, and parted ways.
Back in my place, I did a "happy dance", because I had dared to be kind even though I hadn't been sure at all my kindness would be welcome.I do hope that our relationship will slowly get better; I know I was and still am biased(存有偏见)towards her at times, but even if we don't make amends, I want to be able to be kind without depending on other people's behaviors and reactions .
小题1:The neighbor held a grudge towards the writer most probably because_____.
A.the writer's cats disturb her neighbor frequently
B.the writer didn't thank her for calling the firefighters
C.the writer never apologized to her for her misbehaviors
D.the writer had an unpleasant experience with the neighbor long ago
小题2: From Paragraph 4, we can learn that the author_____.
A.was afraid of being rejected again by her neighbor
B.didn't know how to get along with her neighbor
C.didn't admit it was her fault in the last incident
D.refused to forgive her neighbor's rude behavior
小题3: After the writer said "Feel the fear, and do it anyway!", she decided to_____.
A.do an act of kindness
B.leave her neighbor be
C.apologize to her neighbor once more
D.do something to let her neighbor down
小题4:What can we learn about the writer?
A.She was a professional dancer.
B.She often had quarrels with her neighbor.
C.She had a bias against her neighbor sometimes.
D.She had an unpleasant experience at Christmas this year.
小题5: What does the author try to tell us?
A.Don't punish yourself because of other's mistakes.
B.We should be kind to others, regardless of their behavior.
C.We must keep a good relationship with our neighbors.
D.When we make a mistake, we should have the courage to admit it.

Wings of Angel

Once you’ve tasted the joy and freedom of an all-access backstage pass, sitting in the balcony(楼厅) far from the stage has little attraction. In March of 2008, I had the opportunity to tour with a band. The experience was eye-opening.
I hadn’t realized how many misconceptions I had about the lifestyle of a world-class musician. Such a life is not as great as it appears. In fact, some aspects are extremely tedious. Hours and hours are spent waiting. The musicians wait for their transportation; they wait for the sound check; they wait to perform. After the show, they wait for the crowds of fans to go away.
When the musicians are not waiting, they are traveling. Sometimes the travel itself can seem attractive and exciting, with the limousines(豪华轿车) and the first-class seats on the plane. However, even these luxuries cannot make up for long, boring hours on the road or in the air. Basic needs are all but ignored. Late-night shows and early wake-up calls make them know the preciousness of sleep. The demanding travel itineraries(行程) and show schedules make regular meals impossible.
In spite of the sacrifices, life on tour has its advantage, at least for the talent. A support team generally travels with the band, with at least one person dedicated to meeting the musicians’ needs at all times. The musicians are expected to perform at the shows, but they are not expected to manage any detail of their lives. When I was with the band, I poured glasses of grapefruit juice, made sandwiches, prepared dressing rooms, and performed all kinds of routine work, such as buying toothpaste and getting money from the ATM. In addition, efforts are made by promoters to keep the musicians happy. Most places offer private dressing rooms for the musicians. There is also usually a green room, a room that is large with comfortable furnishings where the band can visit with friends and family while waiting to go on stage. Before the band goes on, their families and friends file out into the auditorium and find their seats. The house lights go dark and curtain rises. When the lights flash on and the band starts playing, the scene is magical. A behind-the-scenes view makes the experience even more spectacular.
小题1:The underlined world in paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A.excitingB.boringC.reasonableD.ridiculous
小题2:We can infer from the third paragraph that _____.
A.good arrangements always make the trips comfortable and pleasant
B.most musicians would rather travel long distance than wait
C.most musicians ignore their basic needs because the travel is too luxurious
D.the lack of sleep and irregular meals seem to be a part of the life of musicians
小题3:Which might be the best title for the passage?
A.Behind the Scene.B.Hard Life of Musicians.

It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call.
“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  36 in with severe burns on his face,neck and arms.We have called for a(n)  37  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.” Seattle was 350 miles from his college,so we knew immediately this was  38 
The doctor described the  39 ,which caused the burns.At 6 am,our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment.When they   40  the charcoal(木炭),it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline(petrol).The flames  41 my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head.
  42 ,one of the boys was quick-minded,grasped my son,and  43 him on the grass.While it saved his life,it was not in  44  to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars(伤疤).
After he  45 from the treatments,the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery(整容)for 6 months  46 it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling.So,he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns.
When I was a child, my mother told my sister,who had a 10-inch, very 47__ scar on her arm,“Nancy,if you ignore the scar,other people will ignore it.It does not mean they will not  48 it,but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.’’
I  49 this wisdom on to my son.He took my advice to 50 and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive.
By the end of the six-month waiting period,he decided that the scars did not  51 , sohe made the  52 to give up any plastic surgery.
We all have “scars” that we believe  53 people to keep away from us.And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different,or dressed differently,people would like us better. 
But you see,people will only judge you by your looks,or your clothes,if you are judging yourself by these same  54 standards.Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  55 yourself,and your beauty will shine through.
