In college I had a part-time job at a shop downtown that sold doughnuts(a kind of cake) and coffee. The small shop,  36  on a block where a dozen buses stopped, it provided food to people who had a few minutes to wait for their  37 .
I  38 coffee in takeout cups and patiently waited on customers who’d point through the glass case and say, “No, not that one, the one two rows over.”
Every afternoon around four o’clock, a group of school children would burst   39 the  shop. Adults would glance in, see the crowd and   40 on. I didn’t   41 if the kids waited for the bus in the shop.
I came to know them pretty well. The girls would talk about school. The boys were more quiet, choosing not to   42   their secrets, but still, they’d wait every day in the store   43 their bus came.
Sometimes I'd hand out bus fare (车费) when a ticket went  44 — always repaid the next day.When ii snowed, the kids and I would wait  45 for a very late bus.They'd call their parents to let them know they were okay.At _ closing time I wouldn't  46 the door, and the kids and I would wait in the warm store until their bus finally arrived.
I  47 a lot of doughnuts on snowy days.I enjoyed my pals (伙伴), but it never  48  to me that I played an important part in their lives—until one Saturday afternoon when a serious-looking man came into the store and asked if I was the girl who worked weekdays around four o'clock.I  49 it was true, and he introduced himself   50 the father of two of my favorites—a brother and sister team.
"I want you know I appreciate what you do for my children.I  51 about them having to take two buses to get home.It  52  a lot that they can wait here and you are keeping an eye on them."
I told him it wasn't a big  53 .that I enjoyed the kids.
"No, you don't understand.When they're with the doughnuts lady, I know they're  54 .It is a big deal.And I'm grateful."
So I was the Doughnuts lady.I not only had received a   55 .I had become a landmark.

In eighteen thirty, only a few miles away from what is now the great city of Cincinnan,  Ohio, lay a   36 and almost endless forest.
The area had a few settlements   37  by people of the frontier. Many of them had already left the area for settlements further   39  the west. But among those   40  was a man who had been one of the first people to arrive there.
He lived alone in a house of logs surrounded   41 all sides by the great forest. He seemed a part of the darkness and   42  of the forest, for no one had   43  known him to smile or speak an unnecessary word. His simple needs were   44 by selling or trading the skins of wild animals in the town.
His little log house had a single door. Directly   45  was a window. The window was boarded up(堵住). No one could remember a(n)  46  when it was not. And no one knew why it had been   47 .  I imagine there are few people living today who ever knew the   48  of that window. But I am one, as you shall   49 .
The man's name was said to be Murlock. He   50  to be seventy years old, but he was really fifty. Something other than years had been the   51 of his aging.
His hair and long, full beard were white.  His gray,   52  eyes were sunken.  His face was wrinkled. He was tall and thin with drooping shoulders—like someone with many   53 .
I never saw him. These   54  I learned from my grandfather. He told me the man's story   55  I was a boy. He had known him when living nearby in that early day.

The first time I decided to leave home was when 1 was in high schoo1.1 was having trouble getting along will my parents.I had about a hundred dollars in my pocket,and so I thought about leaving home, It took me 6my three weeks away from home when I stared to feel homesick. Living on my own is a totally different experience for three main reasons:being more responsible, more decisive and more creative
First of all,I have learned that living on my own requires that I become more responsible.My parents usually tell me to carry out my work and duties almost every day.men I fail to do the work,I only get scolded. However now that I am on my own,I get to deal with my duties without being told to.When I fail to do my duties,I must also deal with the result by myself
Another different experience for me while living on my own is that now I have become more decisive. ·I have to be more careful since I am on my own because my parents are not here to give me their advice. I must make my own decisions.For example,I must make the best decisions for myself without hurting anybody’s feelings and without my parents,guidance.
Therefore,I became more creative just by living on my own.I could make my own future plan-l have made rules for myself to follow.This to me is a good experience,because I usually think that being creative is the.nicest thing in the world.However, when 1 was with my parents
l found it hard for me to be creative simply because I always followed their ideas.
In conclusion,these are the things that usually happen when I am with my parents and when I am alone. Besides,I think that it is better for everyone to love their parents and themselyes before they love anyone else.They should leam how to live on their own. but meanwhile learn how to follow every technique that was given to them by their Parents.They can make use of their freedom of choice to lead to wherever they want。

For a while, my neighborhood was taken over by an army of joggers. They were there all the time: early morning, noon, and evening. There were little old ladies in gray sweats, young couples in Adidas shoes, middle-aged men with red faces. "Come on!" My friend Alex encouraged me to join him as he jogged by my house every evening. "You'll feel great."
Well, I had nothing against feeling great and if Alex could jog every day, anyone could. So I took up jogging seriously and gave it a good two months of my life, and not a day more. Based on my experience, jogging is the most overvalued form of exercise around, and judging from the number of the people who left our neighborhood jogging army, I'm not alone in my opinion.
First of all, jogging is very hard on the body. Your legs and feet will be a real pounding ruining down a road for two or three miles. I developed foot, leg, and back problems. Then I read about a nationally famous jogger who died of a heart attack while jogging, and I had something else to worry about. Jogging doesn't kill hundreds of people, but if you have any physical weaknesses, jogging will surely bring them out, as they did with me.
Secondly, I got no enjoyment out of jogging. Putting one foot in front of the other for forty-five minutes isn't my idea of fun. Jogging is also a lonely pastime. Some joggers say, "I love being out there with just my thoughts." Well, my thoughts began to bore me, and most of them were on how much my legs hurt.
And how could I enjoy something that brought me pain? And that wasn't just the first week: it was practically every day for two months. I never got past the pain level, and pain isn't fun. What a cruel way to do it! So many other exercises, including walking, lead to almost the same results painlessly, so why jog?
I don't jog any more, and I don't think I ever will. I'm walking two miles three times a week at a fast pace, and that feels good. I bicycle to work when the weather is good. I'm getting exercise, and I'm enjoying it at the same time. I could never say the same for jogging, and I've found a lot of better ways to stay in shape.
72. From the first paragraph, we learn that in the writer's neighborhood ____.
A. jogging became very popular         B. people jogged only during the daytime
C. Alex organized an army of joggers   D. jogging provided a chance to get together
73. What was the writer's attitude towards jogging in the beginning?
A. He felt it was worth a try.                  B. He was very fond of it.
C. He was strongly against it.                         D. He thought it must be painful.
74. Why did the writer give up jogging two months later?
A. He disliked doing exercise outside.      B. He found it neither healthy nor interesting.
C. He was afraid of having a heart attack.  D. He was worried about being left alone.
75. From the writer's experience, we can conclude that ____.
A. not everyone enjoys jogging     
B. he is the only person who hates jogging
C. nothing other than jogging can help people keep fit
D. jogging makes people feel greater than any other sport
