Stagehand Superstar
Every kid wanted t play the Big Bad Wlf, but nt Stella. Sure, the Big Bad Wlf gt t yell, “I’ll huff, and I’ll puff, and I’ll blw ur huse in!” But Stella knew wh really brught the huse dwn— the stagehand (舞台工作人员)!
Stella was wearing all black. She quickly, but 65 ,put the huses and trees nt the dark stage. She stayed behind the cardbard tree between the straw huse and the stick huse. The stage lights turned n.
“Little pig, little pig, let me cme in!” Brad, the wlf, shuted. He pretended t knck n the straw huse. 66 the huse was really just painted clth, Stella kncked ludly n the flr.
After Brad’s biggest puff, Stella made the cardbard tree fall dwn, fllwed by the straw huse. The audience cheered. The wlf -- but really Stella—easily made the stick huse fall dwn, t.
But n amunt f huffing and puffing wuld make that brick huse mve. “I’ll sneak dwn the chimney and get thse piggies!” Brad grwled in a stage whisper (耳语) lud enugh fr the whle audience t hear. Brad climbed up a ladder behind the set. Frm the frnt, it lked like he was n the chimney.
Paige, the pig, cried ut, “Let’s build a fire t scare away that mean ld wlf!” Real fire wuld be t dangerus. That’s 67 they needed Stella. Paige knelt beside the fireplace. Stella turned n a red light and fan. Glwing tissue paper strips rse up frm the cardbard lgs (木柴). Smene in the audience gasped (倒吸气). The fake fire lked very 68 indeed.
“My tail!” Brad hwled. He climbed dwn the ladder and ran away. The pigs high-fived. The triumphant (胜利的) music played. The actrs lined up and bwed. The crwd burst int applause (掌声)and jumped t their feet.
Stella stayed 69 , but she knew the applause was fr her, t. Stella had played her part SO perfectly that the audience 70 knew she was there. They just enjyed the magic f the theater. But Stella, the stagehand, was the ne making that magic.

C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with prper wrds s(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，是其内容通顺，每空格限填一次，首字母已给)
Many students cmplain abut this: they try nt t hurt thers’ feelings by telling white lies, but the result smetimes turns ut t be quite the ppsite. Dr. Jnes, yur schl cunselr, explains t students that telling white lies can lead t t 71 .
“Oh, what a tangled(缠结的,复杂的)web we weave (编织),when first we practice t cheat.” The sentence shws hw, when smene is trying t stp ne lie frm being discvered, mre lies are c 72 . That is why I think lying, even in its little-white-lie frm, shuld nt be dne at all. I knw it sund like an impssible thing t ask fr, especially cnsidering hw ften peple lie, but it smething that we shuld all try t d.
A study shws that peple wuld much rather tell a white lie t a 73 embarrassing situatin, whether it is telling smene that the dress lks “unique” r nt telling the bss that smething might be wrng. While yu might think yu are saving yurself frm an embarrassing situatin, yu might nly be prlnging (延长) it r making it w 74 fr the persn yu are lying t and fr yurself later n.
I d understand why peple lie, and I admit I have tld sme white lies, t. At that time, I find a lie easier t say than the truth, and I might even think that it’s better fr the persn nt t knw the whle truth. But mst f the time it turns ut nt t be the case, and I just feel bad ding it—especially when the lie w 75 nt nly myself but als peple wh cunt n me t tell them the truth, like my friends r clleagues.
When it cmes t the peple I care abut, I learned a lng time ag that it is OK t tell them the truth, and I have peace f mind fr saying the truth instead f telling a lie that culd mre than likely lead t anther ne.
Lying is a bad h 76 . If yu want t stp telling lies, even if it’s just the little nes, it is smething that needs t be wrked n and can nly be dne if yu really want it. Fr me, a persn’s reactin (反应) frm when they find ut I’ve lied t them is what stps me in the first place. I wuld rather smene be upset at me fr telling the truth than being c 77 later fr telling a lie.
D. Read the passage belw and answer the fllwing questins (根据文章内容回答下列问题)
Anything is Pssible
We caught up with 16-year-ld Australian wrld champin climber Angie Scarth-Jhnsn t find ut hw she had gtten t this pint in her life.
Q: What gt yu int climbing?
A: It was my mum’s fear f me hurting myself. Like many kids, I was always climbing trees. Frm the age f three, I thught anything that lked climbable needed t be climbed. I started t have accidents that smetimes led t me making hspital visits. Then when I was seven, Mum finally fund the slutin t my strange climbing addictin (嗜好)—a climbing gym. And it changed my life.
Q: Yu were nly nine when yu climbed a grade(攀岩难度路线) 31. What d yu make f that?
A: That’s ne f the mst memrable mments f my life. It’s hard t explain hw significant it((意义重大的)achieving a grade 31 at nine is. It requires physical strength kids rarely have. Nw, as an experienced climber, I knw hw difficult it was t believe a nine-year-ld culd d it. When I climbed as grade 31, I never thught f it as being unachievable — it was just a challenge. And it was the mment in which I felt anything was pssible. I reflect n this when smething starts t feel impssible nw.
Q: 82 ?
A: I tried many sprts but I never gt that feeling f freedm that climbing can give t me. I’m in cmplete cntrl f my mind. I knw what I must d and during that perid f time, my surrundings disappear. I can nly feel the mvement f my bdy; the nly sunds I’m aware f are the birds, my steady breath and maybe a slight breeze. When I’m finally able t reach the tp, it is a feeling like n ther.
Q: What advice d yu have fr new climbers?
A: Make an ambitius gal and just g fr it. I’d never be in this psitin if I held back. G beynd expectatins and cntinue t believe it’s pssible even if it’s never been dne befre. And this mindset (思维模式)can be used thrughut all aspects f yur life.
