The career of Henrik Ibsen was directly influenced by his childhood.In later years, the great playwright remembered only a cruel, angry father, forced by business defeats to move the family to an old farm outside Skien, Norway, Ibsen’s mother, no longer welcomed in the homes of her wealthy friends, started to suffer from depression.At sixteen, the young Ibsen left home, working as an apprentice (学徒) in Grimstad.

Failure, for Ibsen, became a way of life.Catalina, his first literary attempt, was impossible to sell.The privately printed book was eventually sold as packing paper to a grocer.Ibsen sought admission to the university in Oslo but failed the entrance examinations.He tried a career as a journalist, without success.As a stage manager, first in Bergen, then in Oslo, he did better, but lost the latter job when the theater closed down.The experience was not altogether wasted.At Bergen, Ibsen’s agreement required him to provide one new play each year, and although none of the five he produced was well received, the requirement forced him to learn the techniques of his trade.

In 1864, Ibsen took his wife and baby son to Rome, Italy, where they spent five years living in poor conditions.On the edge of starvation, he wrote Brand, dealing with the subject he knew best: failure.Six months after he sent Brand to Danish publishers, his fortunes had changed completely.The play was brought out in March, 1866, becoming an immediate success.With Brand and Peer Gynt, written in the same period, Ibsen won recognition at last.Awarded an annual fixed payment and the title of national poet by Norway, he dropped his shabby clothes and became a well­dressed, neatly barbered, distinguished writer.

A fourteen­year­old violinist was performing at the Tanglewood Music Festival with Leonard Bernstein, the famous conductor. In the middle of a complex violin   concert, a string on the girl’s violin broke. Her violin     was unusable, and Bernstein stopped the orchestra. The young violinist kept her cool, turned to the first violinist, and borrowed his violin. Unfortunately, a string quickly broke on that violin as well, and she had to use yet another instrument. Such a disaster might unnerve even an experienced violinist, but the fourteen­year­old kept her cool and finished the concert. The audience applauded enthusiastically.   Today, people still talk about the extraordinary performance of the youngster. She is Midori.

As a little girl in Osaka, Japan, Midori lived in a   musical home. Her mother was a concert violinist.   When Midori was just two years old, her mother was amazed to hear her child humming (哼曲子) a complex piece of music by Bach.

Midori soon began practicing on a childsized violin. Her mother gave her music lessons and arranged private performances for family and friends. When Midori was nine years old, her mother recognized that her daughter possessed great musical talent. She took Midori to the United States to play at the Aspen Music Festival. After Midori performed perfectly there, a famous music teacher named Dorothy DeLay accepted her as her student. This meant that Midori and her mother would have to move to New York City.

In New York, Midori had a busy schedule of music lessons and school. She performed only a few times a year in her early teens. After her first public appearance at the Tanglewood Music Festival, music fans eagerly waited for each of her concerts.

When she turned sixteen, Midori decided to leave school and become a full­time performer. When she appeared onstage, audiences were amazed at Midori’s wonderful music, as well as her graceful (优美的), shy beauty.

The adult Midori is perhaps the most famous female musician in the world. She has received countless awards. But Midori is not just concentrating on her career. She recently created the Midori Foundation, which provides lectures to teach children about music. Midori remembers how much she loved learning to make music as a child. Now, she is     devoted to making the same beautiful experience   possible for other young children.

The play The Doctors Dilemma by George Bernard opens on the day when Ridgeon, a famous research doctor,is knighted (封爵).His friends gather to congratulate him.The friends include Sir Patrick, a well­known old physician, Walpole, an aggressive surgeon, Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington, an attractive society doctor, and Blenkinsop, an honest government doctor.Each one has his favorite theory of illness and method of cure._One_man’s_cure_is_another_man’s_poison,but they all get along.

A young woman (Mrs Dubechat) desperately seeks help for her husband from Ridgeon, who has evidently found a way to cure her husband’s illness.Ridgeon initially refuses, but then he changes his mind for two reasons — Mr Dubechat is a fine artist and Ridgeon falls in love with his wife.

When the doctors meet Mr Dubechat, however, they find that he is a dishonest person.Ridgeon eventually decides to treat Blenkinsop,who has the same disease, and refers the artist to Bloomfield Bonington.As a result, he will die.In the end, Ridgeon justifies his behavior as a plan to let Mr Dubechat die before his wife finds out how dishonest he actually was.This, in fact, happens and Mr Dubechat’s artistic reputation grows.

When I walked into the house after school, the first thing I noticed was a box with items I recognized from my dad’s office. When he told me that he was laid off, I thought he was joking. Then I noticed his seriousness and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker. He has prided himself on his career.     16    I guess I had taken his work for granted.

    17    For starters, he was home all the time. It meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school. I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs.    18    He seemed down, though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less. I gave up my spending money, which wasn’t much. I also found a part­time job.

    19    He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it. One evening I asked if he needed help. “Only if it doesn’t affect school,” he said. I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months.

    20    The terrible experience for our family taught me how to deal with difficulties. Now I know that through creative problem­solving, I can always find Plan B. I can ask for help and take risks. What I have learned from my dad’s understanding of business and his work ethic(信条)are two of the most important lessons I will ever learn. And they will be my principles for success.

A.Providing for our family has been his joy.
B.I made every effort to solve his problems.
C.I began to notice how losing his job had affected him.
D.My father’s unemployment created many changes in our lives.
E.After months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction.
F.His courage and determination helped him to become successful in his new career.
G.I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action influenced me a lot.

At my workplace there aren’t enough     41    (opportunity) to be different. We give care to others but sometimes we forget to care for     42    (we) and each other.

So, I print     43    (inspire) messages, happy pictures, etc, and post them on a blank space     44     I’ve found in one of our rooms. I believe they add to our “emotional education”.

One person asked me, “Why do you try to help these people? They are not very nice?” My answer     45    (be), “If it affects one person then it’s a good thing.” It doesn’t matter whether it has an impact     46     anyone else. What matters is that I’m the     47    (good) person I can be.

I know those     48    (print) stories and articles are read because they keep getting moved about. So,     49    (eventual), like sandpaper against a rough surface,     50     surface will become smooth and the messages will get through. How long it takes really doesn’t matter.

Though great progress has been made in science these years, but there are still many people lived in poor conditions. They make their living by collecting and selling used thing. Their children cannot go to school because they have not enough money to send their children to there. Why you think so many people still suffer from poverty now? The answer lies on the population explosion. A president of a developing country once say: “It is us who are to blame for the poverty because we used to ’produce’ children without limit.” Although this few words sound simple enough, they have clear pointed out one of the causes of the population explosion.
