“Where did I put that second sheet of questions?” Mr. Adler w    2     (私语) while searching through a thick pile of papers on his messy desk. Mr. Adler, though a great teacher, had a r    3     (名声) of being disorganized with a long history of misplacing things. “Oh well, I apologize for the d    4     (延误),” said Mr. Adler after what s    5     (好像) like a long time. “Hector, please tell us the c    6     (首都) city of Brazil.” Hearing the question, Hector smiled. Then, there was the answer.

Later that day in the courtyard, many classmates c    7     (祝贺) Hector. Wearing a proud smile, he g    8     (同…打招呼) and thanked them all. Oh, the sweet taste of victory.

As it was getting late, the courtyard became deserted. But Hector still didn’t want to l    9     (离开). Then he saw Mr. Adler c    10     (穿过) the courtyard and holding a half-open bag full of papers. As he h    11     (匆匆) past, an envelope dropped out but Mr. Adler was unaware. He turned a corner and d    12     (消失) out of sight. Hector picked it up. On the envelope were the words “Fifth Grade Geography Bee Questions and Answers”.

As soon as Hector had done it, he k    14     (知道) it was the wrong choice. He’d c    15     (作弊) and whatever he did now, he couldn’t change the fact. “What if Mr. Adler thought I s    16     (窃取) this morning’s questions too?” Hector thought. “He’d take away my Room Five victory for sure.” Little did he know that one of the best days in his life would be turned into the worst so quickly. Torn by his conscience, Hector was t    17     (完全) at a loss what to do.

Before he realized it, Hector found himself standing in Mr. Adler’s room. He saw Mr. Adler searching for something on his messy desk. “Mr. Adler, are you looking for this?” he asked, holding the open envelope. “Oh, that’s e    18     (正是) what I’m looking for!” Mr. Adler said, “but what on earth is the matter?” Looking at the confused e    19     (表情) on Mr. Adler’s face, Hector got up the c    20     (勇气) to tell him the truth. To his surprise, Mr Adler actually p    21     (表扬) him for his integrity and wished him good l    22     (运气) in the next day’s competition.

The next day the entire school came to watch the Fifth Grade Geography Bee. Besides being g    23     (内疚的), Hector was puzzled at Mr. Adler’s reaction yesterday. But soon he felt relieved to find that the questions had been changed. He could i    24     (想象) Mr. Adler working late last night to prepare the new questions, grateful from the bottom of his heart for what Mr. Adler had done for him. When it was his turn, he c    25     (集中) his mind and answered all the questions correctly, becoming the final’s champion. The final gave Hector the sweet taste of victory again.

2 . During adolescence,     1    很多青少年感到孤独. Life never seems to be going fast enough, but in other ways, life seems to be rushing too fast. Everything seems different, yet the same, day by day.
