Tina was a seventeen-year-old girl who always wore a bright smile. She suffered from a disease and had to use a walker most of the time. People didn’t speak to her very often. Maybe it was because she looked 15 and people didn’t know how to come near to her. Tina usually broke the ice with people she met with a big “ 16 .”
In one class, I gave the students an assignment (作业) to recite(背诵) a poem. I only made the assignment worth a very small part of their total grade since I knew most of my students would not do it anyway. In the class, one by one each student 17 to correctly recite the poem. Finally, angry and half joking, I said that the next student who 18 recite the poem had to do three push-up (俯卧撑). To my surprise Tina was next. She used her walker to move to the front of the class. 19 she recited, she made a mistake. Befo re I could say a word, she 20 her walker and started doing push-ups. I wanted to say, “Tina, I was just joking!” But she 21 , continued the poem and she finished the rest perfectly.
When she finished, a student asked, “Tina, why did you do that? It’s not an important assignment!” “Because I want to be like you guys! To be 22 .” Tina said.
Silence fell on the whole room when another student cried out, “Tina, we’re not normal! We are teenagers! We get in 23 all the time.” “I know,” Tina said as a big 24 spread across her face. The rest of the students laughed, too.
Tina got only a few points that day, but she got the love and respect of her classmates. To her, that was worth a lot more than a grade.

I met the old man at a café. “D id you hear the radio news yesterday?” he asked me. “No,” I replied. “Anything exciting?” “Exciting? No! Something very sad. A group of hungry dogs killed and ate my best friend.”
“Oh, dear!” I cried. “How did it happen?” “He was working on the hillside when the dogs attacked him. When he didn’t return, I went to the hillside and found…” “His body?” I asked. The old man drank half of his coffee. “No. I told you they were hungry dogs, didn’t I? The big bones were lying everywhere. But they found this.” He pushed open a match box he was holding in his hand. In it was a man’s thumb, lying on some white bloody material.
“This is my friend’s right thumb. The dogs ate the rest of him”. The old man began to cry. He finished his coffee quickly and left the café. I drank mine and called the waiter. “I’ll pay the gentleman’s bill. His poor friend-how terrible!” “You’ve heard the news?” The waiter laughed. “Sure. There’s a hole in the bottom of the match box. He puts his own thumb through the hole. The blood is red ink, I believe. Is the story worth a cup of coffee, sir?” “But he holds the box in his right hand.” “Yes, but listeners look into the box. They just can’t take their sight off that terrible thing. ” “And when he tells the story, he gets free cups of coffee!” I said, laughing. “Yes, sir, but only from strangers who come to this town, and, of course, he does us no harm!”

We all have happy memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. So since summer has arrived, let’s make full use. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling.
Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make full use of cheaper prices while you’re eligible.
Volunteering abroad won’t surprise future employers(老板), but it can be very useful. Finding a reliable (可靠的) company is important, as is discovering a program that interests you. There are plenty of websites where you can see other people’s suggestions.
Of course for most of us, money is tight. To avoid overspending you can combine(结合) employment（打工） and vacation. Hannah Warn, a psychology (心理学) student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America where students enjoy a good time on a summer camp. “Being thrown into something where I don’t really know what to expect is exciting,” she says. “It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a d ifferent way.”
Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pair (互惠工人). The work may be a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill.
If you have an idea of the type of career you’d like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree(学位) to show for your three or four years just won’t make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.
( )31. The underlined part “you’re eligible” in Para. 2 means “ ”.
A. you have more free time B. you’re tired of school life
C. you enjoy traveling a lot D. you’re of the right age
( )32. Which of the following is TRUE according to the example of Hannah Warn?
A. Camp America offers jobs to students.
B. Psychology students are good at saving money.
C. Students had better choose a camp connected to their future job.
D. A camp is a good place to combine employment and vacation.
( )33. According to the passage, who is more likely（可能） to get a job after
graduation?
A. John, who got excellent academic records during his university years.
B. Lily, who worked abroad as an au pair during summer vacations.
C. Tom, who got working experience connected to his future job in college.
D. Mary, who got a degree after studying four years in a famous university.
D
When I was a child, I was amazed at the idea that my sisters could be my b est friends. Now, I wouldn’t have it any other way. At the time, the idea of my two sisters being my closest friends seemed strange to me. We fought all the time over toys, food, attention, what to watch on television—you name it, and we quarreled(吵架) about it at some point. How could my sisters be my best friends? They weren’t the same age as I. We all had our own friends in school.
My mother never let the three of us forget that sisters are lifelong friends. Her wish like most parents’ was to give us something that she never had. Growing up as an only child, she expected siblings. When she gave birth to three daughters,her dream had only just begun. She had given each of us a gift and she wanted to make sure we did not take that gift for granted(理所当然). She would often tell us how lucky we were. But there were other, more subtle (难以察觉的) ways that she encouraged us to grow closer. She never showed favoritism(偏爱) to one daughter over the other. She often took us places together—skating, shopping and swimming, so that we developed common interests. And when we were teenagers, Mom always punished us equally, giving us yet another bonding (密切相连) experience.
We didn’t always get along beautifully and fought just like any other siblings. But somewhere in between Mom’s lectures, the family vacations and the shared memories, we realized that our mother was right. Today I share things with my sisters that I do with no one else. My sister Cindy and I ran the New York City Marathon together, side by side, even holding hands when we crossed the finish line. When my sister Karen got married, I was her maid of honor(伴娘). Cindy and I traveled through Europe together and even shared a room for two years. The three of us trust each other with our greatest secrets.
It was twenty-three years ago that my mother first asked me who my two best friends were. Today she doesn’t have to. She already knows.

( )37. The best title of the passage could be ________.
