阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Small stories often have a great truth in them. One day I 1 (approach) several massive creatures when I came to a sudden stop. It was well beyond me that these huge animals should 2 (limit) by only some ropes. It was obvious that the animals could easily escape from these small ropes 3 (tie) to their front legs. However, they did not. I 4 (spot) a trainer close by and wondered 5 the elephants just stood where they were and had no 6 (intend) to break away.

“Well,” he replied, “as they’re very young we tie them with the same size rope and it’s enough to hold them 7 their age. As they grow up, they’re conditioned to hold the belief that they can never run away. They think the ropes are bound to still hold them, so they do not struggle 8 (break) free.” I was shocked. The large animals could easily move away from their bonds but they felt they couldn’t, so they were stuck right there.

In our life, a number of people are brought up with the same wrong self-limiting thoughts — I’m not excellent enough 9 why try it if I’m not going to make 10 However, we oughtn’t to underestimate (低估) our capability, talent and potential. Instead, we should believe in ourselves. After all, we need to change with the times and think outside the box.

Mistakes that work

The best way to learn something is to make mistakes first. Thomas Edison, 1 invented the light bulb, told his colleagues: “Of the 200 light bulbs that didn’t work, every failure told me something was able to incorporate (融入) into the next attempt.” Benjamin Franklin, the US statesman and scientist once said: “I haven’t failed. I have had 10,000 ideas that didn’t work.”

2 of these people understood that failures and false starts are the condition of success. In fact, 3 surprising number of everyday objects had their beginnings in a mistake or a misunderstanding. Post-it notes, packets of crisps and even bread are all unexpected inventions. In 2600 BC, a tired Egyptian slave invented 4 is now called bread when the dough (面团) rose during his sleep. And crisps were first cooked by a cook in the USA when a customer suggested his fried potatoes be 5 (thin) than they were.

In 1968 Spencer Silver was trying to develop a strong glue when he accidentally invented a very weak glue instead. His colleague, Art Fry decided to use it six years later, in1974, to have his bookmarks 6 (hold) in his books and the post-it note was invented.

Successful businesspeople have often made big, expensive mistakes in their past. When an employee of IBM made a mistake that cost the company $600,000, Thomas Watson, the chairman, 7 (ask) if he would fire the man. “No,” he replied. “I have just spent $600,000 8 (train) him. I won’t let another company 9 (benefit) from the experience.

The important thing to remember is that you need to learn from your mistakes. 10 you don’t, then there is no point making them.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The 4 (large)of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was 5 (frighten)that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly.

The worst way 10 (lose)love is to hold on it too tight, while the best way to keep love is to give it wings!

When I decided to major in English, I thought it would be fun. However, it turned out to be much 1 (hard) than I thought it would be. The differences in the language over thousands of hundreds of years made many passages hard 2 (understand). Trying to understand Shakespeare and Chaucer gave me a headache 3 reading Byron and Shelley also took lots of effort. However, there were times 4 I read passages that gave me wisdom(智慧).

One of these was by William Wordsworth. It went, “The best portion(部分) of a good man’s life: his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.” The first time I read it, I was deeply impressed by the wisdom 5 (convey) in it. Over the years I began to fill my days 6 acts of kindness and love.

What would happen if everyone followed Wordsworth’s wisdom and lived the best part of 7 (they) life? What would happen if all of us 8 (practice) acts of kindness and love all our lives? Would we stop 9 (hate)? Would we put an end to war? Would this world 10 (transform) into a beautiful, loving place? Let’s all live our lives with acts of kindness and love.

【推荐2】阅读下面短文，在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

Imagine that you’re sleeping in the wild in a tent and are awakened by the sound of wolves howling(狼嚎叫). That’s 1 happened to me last summer when my family and I spent the night at the Wolf Conservation Center (WCC) in South Salem, New York. The howling didn’t frighten me. Wolves howl to communicate 2 each other.

The WCC educates people about wolves, 3 (they) relationship to the environment, and how to ensure that they survive. Guests 4 (invite) to visit the wolves yearround. The center is home to twentyfive wolves and two 5 (serious) endangered species—the red wolf and the Mexican gray wolf. At one point, both species 6 (be) extinct in the wild. With help from the WCC, the wolves are making a comeback.

“Wolves help to keep all other animals in balance(平衡) and keep the environment really 7 (health) ,” said Mary Kate Kabbes, an educator at the WCC.

When wolves became extinct in Yellowstone National Park, the elk(麋鹿) population increased to five times its normal(正常的) size and destroyed areas where birds lived. As 8 result, several bird species were forced to leave the park.

Now that wolves are back at Yellowstone, the birds have returned. “Learning about wolves, reading books about them, and telling your family and friends is a simple way 9 (help) spread the word about the 10 (important) of wolves.” Kabbes said.
