A.

    I came to study in the United States a year ago .Yet I did not know the real American society _____1_____ I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor and go to court. After the accident, my roommate _____2_____ (call) a doctor for me. I was very grateful and determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had done. I was _____3_____ (astonish). He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect money from the person who was responsible _____4_____ my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. And only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor, it was only fair that I should pay him. But every day I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or three patients at the same time, and often stop _____5_____ (treat) one so as to see another. Yet he charged me $115 each time .The final examination report consisted _____6_____ ten lines, and it cost me $215. My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all. He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he _____7_____ did anything. He _____8_____(simple) waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss him. And he made me pay him $770.Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time…and I left without getting a cent.

    When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point _____1_____ my shortcomings(缺点). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn't a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with _____2_____ (tear）in my eyes. He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn't you ever wonder what you're really _____3_____ ? Well, you now have that girl's opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. _____4_____  my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn't change (like being very thin), but a good number I could-and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself. I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That's just for you.” he said.“You know _____5_____ (good) than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in _____6_____ (angry) and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you'll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full ____7_____ people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the _____8_____ (true) and do what you know is the right thing to do.”Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments.

As a teacher, my daily activity involves driving to a new school almost every day.

On one particular day during my lunch break, I drove to a nearby square to get a coffee. Upon returning to the ___1___, I realized I had locked my phone and my ___2___ inside! I had about 15 minutes to get back to the ___3___. So I hurried into a McDonald’s in the same square, and asked the man at the counter, who happened to be the ___4___, to call a taxi for me. After I ___5___ explained my situation to him, he rushed inside to make the phone while I waited anxiously in the restaurant. I had less than 10 minutes to ___6___ to my school at this point.

A moment later, the manager returned only to tell me that the line was ___7___, and that he had not been able to ___8___ the taxi yet. I think both ___9___ and fear could be seen in my face.

Without a thought, he grabbed his coat and ___10___ to drive me to the school. Without hesitation, I followed him into his car and got back to the classroom with two minutes to go before the bell rang!
