James was a curious young man. Everywhere he went, he liked to observe things and to __21__ people—what they did, what they said and what they wore. Subconsciously, he was making quick __22__ all the time. He couldn’t really __23__ it; it just happened.

For example, he once saw a man whose body was __24__ with tattoos(文身). That man was strong and walked proudly. James imagined his __25__ people up, sometimes with sticks and sometimes with his hands, speaking __26__ words each time he opened his mouth. A troublemaker, perhaps, James __27__ to himself.

Sometimes James felt __28__ for judging others this way, but that feeling was __29__ and never really lasted.

Then, one day, he saw a woman seated alone in a café. The woman was __30__, quite fat, and although she was not __31__, James could tell she was a short lady. __32__, James glanced across at her, looking at her from top to bottom. As his eyes reached her __33__, he got a shock.

There she was, on her left foot, wearing a platform shoe that was at least 3 inches high. __34__ could such a little middle-aged lady who was average-looking at best be so vain as to wear high platforms? Look beautiful? In that short moment of time, __35__ thoughts flowed through James’ mind.

A second later, James’ eyes naturally moved across to the lady’s right foot. And there, he got an even bigger __36__. ----It was a flat shoe. She was not vain; she had a birth defect(缺陷) ----uneven length of her legs. If anything, she deserved __37__ and understanding, certainly not blame, not even mental ones.

James was __38__ with guilt. It was a(n) __39__ lesson he learned about not __40__ conclusions, about not judging people, especially so quickly.

       Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.

       When James was a teenager ,his father   36   him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The   37  was to get James a job.

       He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the   38   had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the   39   were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying ,   40   a thickened air ,and the workers,

  41   the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles   42  the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly   43  . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t   44  at him , too.

       During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,   45 if there was any work for his son. But    46  there was barely enough  47  for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.

       Thus , for James, it was a   48  . He hated the place. He made a   49  that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought    50  to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to    51   money off the seat of others.

       “What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.

       “I don’t know,” he   52  say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like  53   , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the    54  of blood.

       “What will you do?”

55  , my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

Maggie was very glad that James was not a frequent visitor to the house. So far as the children were concerned, they had a mystery about him that stirred their imagination. He stirred Maggie’s anger, however, so that she often said to her husband, “It’s mercy that brother of yours doesn’t come oftener.”

In fact James came once a year, unexpectedly, around eight o’clock in the evening, and he stayed for six hours of close discussion with his brother. His arrival was a signal to the children that their bedtime would be delayed. Not that he ever spoke to them or played with them. He took no notice of them, as if he was unable to see children, at least until the time came for him to go. Instead, after his first greeting and a careless kiss, James took no notice of Maggie either, except to add, “You’ll be getting on with the supper, Maggie.” Such was his regard for her.

Maggie paid him back in her own way. She kept the children up, the four of them, to keep her company, she said, but of course they sang and made a noise and broke the endless sound of James’s voice. Very late, they dropped off to sleep in their chairs. Then, when James was about to go, Maggie woke them up and so more or less forced him to part with four shillings before he left. That gave her some satisfaction, for James, though rich, was mean. He always went home by the last train, just after two o’clock.

Maggie’s children secretly stared at their uncle. They could not forget that he had, in their mother’s words, “lost two wives and taken a third, ” They wondered about those two unfortunate lost ladies. They asked each other what their fate had been, and if neither could ever be found again. James never brought his third wife with him nor ever mentioned her. The children decided that he must be so frightened of losing her that he never allowed her outside the door.

11. The underlined word “mercy” in the text most probably means _______.

A. loss       B. wonder    C. lucky thing         D. terrible thing

12. Maggie never prepared anything special for James because _______.

A. he was a man difficult to please

B. she never knew when he was coming

C. she was too busy looking after her children

D. he never stayed long enough for a meal

13. What do we know about James’ behavior?

A. He was a kind man, with love for the family.

B. He was generous, especially towards his brother.

C. He was anxious to please the family, especially the kids.

D. He was rude to his sister-in-law.

14. Maggie felt pleased when _______.

A. she paid James the money that she owed him

B. James gave some money to the children

C. she had to wake James up to catch his train

D. James thanked her for the nice supper

15. The children did not realize that two of James’ wives _______.

A. had been dead               B. suffered from loss of memory

C. had run away from him      D. might appear again one day

Every summer a great many students travel to other countries looking for work and adventure. Most of the    26        are in seasonal work, mainly connected with wourism and    27         
The pay is usually poor, but most people work abroad for the     28    of travel. You can pick grapes on farms in France, entertain kids on American summer camps, and, of course, there are  29    jobs in hotels and restaurants.
But it is not easy now to find work. “    30   you speak the language of the country well, there will be very few openings,” says Althea Ellis, an adviser in     31       for students.
“If you work with a family in Italy, you’ll have to speak Italian. When you wash dishes in a restaurant in Pairs, the owner will expect you to speak   32    . British students only have a language     33     for jobs in the USA and Australia.”
    34     enjoys the experience. Sarah James was employed to help forty American children in Europe. The two teachers with the children had never been     35     .One child lost his passport; another became seriously ill and was      36      home; the whole group was thrown out of one hotel because of the      37      they made, and what’s worse, Sarah herself was robbed on her only    38    evening of the entire trip. “ I did visit a lot of new places,” she says,“ but it wasn’t worth it. The pay was     39     and it really was a 24-hour-a-day job. The kids never slept!”
“The troubles is, students expect to have a(n)     40    time of it.” Althea Ellis points out. “After all, they see it as a    41     .In practice,     42      ,you have to work hard. At the same time, all vacation work is casual (临时的) work. You’ll have a job when the hotel, the restaurant, or the campsite is busy. In the other words, you’ll work if it’s convenient for the company that     43    you. But you have      44    employment rights. As soon as the holiday season      45     ,they’ll get rid of you.”
