    I was feeling a little blue because my mother had been laid off from her job and she had lots of bills to pay. It left me wondering what was going to happen to us now.
    I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking. That’s  36  I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked a little slower so that I could 37   where it was coming from.   38   the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her. She was singing songs about love, keeping on trying, and not underestimating (低估) the power within yourself. The way she was singing    39   me a bit. I stood there watching her play for about fifteen minutes, thinking that it must      40   to perform alone in the middle of a crowded place.
    She must have felt my   41   because she would  42 look in my direction. Then I walked over and put some  43     in her carriage and she said, “Thank you”. Instead of continuing my way home, I said to her, “I have been  44     a rough time lately, but you’ve made me  45 again.”
    “I’m happy that I could help,” she replied. “Why are you so sad?”
    “Well, my mum told me she had got    46   from her job, and that made me sad. I’m not so sure what to do …”
    “You see, here’s the problem,” she explained. “While you were        47   , your head was down. Don’t look  48 , because  49   comes in different ways and if your head were down, you might lose it.”
    She also explained to me that she saw a lot of  50 people in the world and she tried to bring more  51 by sharing motivational (鼓舞人心的) music. She told me that when she wasn’t making music she studied  52  . So, that was how she knew some of the things she was telling me.
    I  53     a little wider because I knew that she was doing a good thing. So, after we  54, my heart was  55      and lightened by a musical soul!

    Few people ever took notice of Mr. Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room. He was a shy, quiet and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public. On the other hand, Mr. Thomas Kim, a fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets. He wore bright outfits with huge flower prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room. In addition to the differences in their characters, Mr. Kim and Mr. Tan were also great rivals at work in the Institute of Future Science.
    On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr. Tan and Mr. Kim. They were in their laboratory analyzing the results of their latest experiments. Mr. Tan realized that something special was taking place in his experiment —the bacteria he had cultured were growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature. After noting down the findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests. Shortly after, Mr. Kim entered.
    “Hey Jimmy,” Mr. Kim called out, “do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form?”
    There was no reply, so Mr. Kim looked through Mr. Tan’s things. He soon found Mr. Tan's notebook and was horrified to see that Mr. Tan had managed to make one of the most important discoveries in modern science. He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing the bacteria was kept. He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory.
    Mr. Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing. He knew that Mr. Kim had taken them and went to Mr. Kim's laboratory to find out. When he opened the door, he found Mr. Kim lying on the floor motionless. His face was pale and his skin had turned black. The deadly bacteria had been handled improperly. He shook his head and left.
    小题1:From the first paragraph we know Mr. Kim was a quite    person.
    A．famousB．hardworking
    C．wealthyD．outgoing
    小题2:The underlined word "rivals" in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to   .
    A．enemiesB．colleagues
    C．competitors D．friends
    小题3:What does the underlined word “them” refer to in the 4th paragraph?
    A．the most important discoveries
    B．the notebook and the dish
    C．the cupboard and the bacteria
    D．the dish and the bacteria
    小题4:Which of the following is true according to the passage?
    A．Mr. Kim was afraid Mr. Tan might succeed ahead of him.
    B．Mr. Tan's bacteria grew very fast in a warm container.
    C．Mr. Tan worked much harder than Mr. Kim.
    D．Mr. Kim was so tired that he fell down into sleep.
