One summer day my father sent me to buy wire for our farm. At 16, I liked 36 better than driving our truck, 37 this time I was not happy. My father had told me I’d have to ask for credit(賒賬) at the store.
Sixteen is a 38 age, when a young man wants respect, not charity. It was 1976, and the ugly 39 of racial discrimination was 40 a fact of life. I’d seen my friends ask for credit and then stand, head down, while the store owner 41 whether they were “good for it.” I knew black youths just like me who were 42 like thieves by the store clerk each time they went into a grocery.
My family was 43 . We paid our debts. But before harvest, cash was short. Would the store owner 44 us ?
At Davis’s store, Buck Davis stood behind the cash desk, talking to a farmer. I nodded 45 I passed him on my way to the hardware shelves. When I brought my 46 to the cash desk, I said 47 , “I need to put this on credit.”
The farmer gave me an amused, distrustful 48 . But Buck’s face didn’t change. “Sure,” he said 49 . “Your daddy is 50 good for it.” He 51 to the other man. “This here is one of James Williams’s sons.”
The farmer nodded in a neighborly 52 . I was filled with pride. James William’s son. Those three words had opened a door to an adult’s respect and trust.
That day I discovered that the good name my parents had 53 brought our whole family the respect of our neighbors. Everyone knew what to 54 from a Williams: a decent person who kept his word and respected himself 55 much to do wrong.

37．解析：but意為“但是”，表示上下兩個句子是轉折對比關系。最高興開自己的卡車和不高興形成轉折和對比。and表示并列關系。so意為“因此”。for表示原因。
38．解析：prideful意為“驕傲的；得意的，自傲的”。常指正當地自我滿足、暗自得意，有時也指頑固地自以為是或過高地評價自己的優點。下文中的when a young man wants respect， not charity表明這是一個自尊、自強的年齡。wonderful意為“令人驚奇的，可驚嘆的，奇異的，〔口語〕極好的，精彩的”。respectful意為“尊重人的，表示敬意的；謙恭的，有禮貌的，殷勤的”。colorful意為“多彩的”。

41．解析：question意為“詢問；探問；探究”，常指正式地發問，多含有質疑的色彩，懷疑的意味較重。由于當時種族歧視的陰影仍然是一個生活事實，所以在黑人賒賬時，就受了店主的詢問。guess意為“猜測”。suspect意為“懷疑”。figure意為“推測，判斷，認為”。
42．解析：watch意為“注視”，指全神貫注地觀看、觀察或注視事物的活動、變化或發展。這里指當黑人進入商店時，售貨員就像注視小偷那樣注視著他們。catch意為“抓住”。dismiss意為“使退去，讓……走開，打發走”。succeed意為“繼……之后，繼續；接著……發生”。
43．解析：honest意為“誠實的；正直的，耿直的；坦率的，坦白的，正派的，公正的”。指言行一致、表里如一，忠誠可靠，強調真實性。根據下文所提供的情景可判斷出作者的家庭是誠實守信的，賒賬后在收獲后馬上就償還。generous意為“慷慨大方的”。friendly意為“友好的”。modest意為“謙遜的”。
44．解析：trust意為“信任”，表示盡管這樣，店主會信任嗎？blame意為“責備”。excuse意為“原諒”。charge意為“責備；告誡”。

48．解析：look意為“表情，臉色”，表示那個農民的臉上露出了感到有趣的、不信任的表情。stare意為“凝視”。response意為“反應”。comment意為“評論”。
49．解析：easily意為“容易地，不費力地”，表示店主Buck對作者一家非常信任，當作者提出要賒賬時，店主非常爽快地答應了。

How did a high school football coach build a championship dynasty by never playing to win? In Smith Center, Kansas, Roger Barta, 64, a longtime coach and former math teacher at Smith Center High School, wearing a red shirt, stood before his players．“…Guys．We don't talk about winning and losing．We talk about getting a little better every day, about be
ing a team．” Over the next four months, his team went on to beat other teams, winning another perfect season．
Barta grew up in Plainville, and when a back injury ended Barta's playing career, he wasn't sure whether he wanted to be a college student．One summer, he took a job in the Kansas oil fields．It took him a single rainy day of working in the field to realize that university was for him．“I almost froze to death,” he says．He looked around at his co-workers, who were aged beyond their years．"They were all missing fingers and teeth．I didn't want to do that for the rest of my life．"
He returned to Fort Hays State to earn a mathematics degree and went on to get a master's in math education at the University of Georgia．Today, Barta spends as much time helping players figure out what they want to do with their lives as he does coaching．
To most kids here, Barta is not just a winning coach but also a mentor（導師，顧問）．Barta insists that the members of his team be well-rounded．During last year's playoffs（附加賽）, for instance, Joe Osburn was struggling with Macbeth in English class．Barta told him that either he mastered Shakespeare or his season was finished．Barta got the captains involved, and they took turns quizzing Osburn on his lines of Shakespeare．He pulled his grades up and kept playing．

I was ? by people’s readiness to help a stranger.
? In Oregon, a house painter named Mike ? the cold weather and asked if I had a coat. I didn’t, so he gave me a big green army-style jacket. A lumber-mill worker in Michigan named Tim invited me to a ? dinner with his family in their shabby house. Then he offered me a tent. I refused, but Tim insisted, packing it into my bag himself. I found people were generally compassionate. Hearing I had no money and would take none, people bought me food or ? with them whatever they happened to have. Those who had the ? to give often gave the most.

Where do most writers get their ideas? For Yoshiko Uchida, it all began with Brownie, a five-month-old puppy. So excited was Yoshiko by Brownie’s arrival that she started keeping a journal, writing about all the wonderful things Brownie did and the progress he made.
Soon she was writing about other memorable events in her life, too, like the day her family got their first refrigerator. She also began writing stories, thanks to one of her teachers. Yoshiko wrote stories about animal characters such as Jimmy Chipmunk and Willie the Squirrel. She kept on writing, sharing the kitchen table with her mother, who wrote poems on scraps of paper and the backs of envelopes.
Yoshiko grew up in the 1930s in Berkeley, California. Her parents, both of whom had been born in Japan, provided a loving and happy home for Yoshiko and her sister. They also provided a stream of visitors to their home who later found their way into Yoshiko’s stories. One visitor who later appeared in several of Yoshiko’s stories was the bad-tempered Mr. Toga, who lived above the church that her family attended. Mr. Toga would scold anyone who displeased him. The children all feared him and loved to tell stories about how mean he was and how his false teeth rattled (咯咯響) when he talked.
Yoshiko also included in her stories some of the places she visited and the experiences she had. One of her favorite places was a farm her parents took her to one summer. The owners of the farm, showed Yoshiko and her sister how to pump water from the well and how to gather eggs in the henhouse. They fed the mules that later pulled a wagon loaded with hay while Yoshiko and the others rode in the back, staring up at the stars shining in the night sky. Yoshiko, who lived in the city, had never seen such a sight. As Yoshiko gazed up at the stars, she was filled with hope and excitement about her life. The images of that hayride stayed with her long after the summer visit ended, and she used them in several of her stories.
The experiences Yoshiko had and the parade of people who marched through her young life became a part of the world she created in over twenty books for young people, such as The Best Bad Thing and A Jar of Dreams. Because of such books, we can all share just a little bit of the world and the times in which this great writer grew up.
1. The author tells about Mr. Toga’s false teeth in Paragraph 3 in order to ____________.
A. show health care was not good enough in Berkeley during the 1930s
B. provide an interesting detail in Yoshiko’s life and stories
C. show Yoshiko’s young life was difficult and frightening
D. tell about a beloved relative who helped Yoshiko learn how to write
2.In Paragraph 4 “the stars” probably refer to ____________.
A. family relationships B. terrors in the night
C. limitless possibilities D. sacrifices to benefit others
3. What does the underlined part in the last paragraph mean?
A. Yoshiko loved to write about parades.
B. Yoshiko met many interesting people.
C. Yoshiko liked to go for long walks with others.
D. Yoshiko preferred to talk to her pets instead of to people.
4.What is the main idea of this story?
A. People who live in the city should spend as much time as they can in the country.
B. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida must communicate with as many writers as possible.
C. Those who move to the United States often miss their homelands for many years.
D. Writers like Yoshiko Uchida look to the richness of their lives for material.
