When I met Mr Jim Lemon I was a seventeen-year-old freshman at Houston's Jackson Junior High.The chances of my finishing high school were 36 . I was a troubled teenage.
Mr Lemon taught American history and was quite 37 from the other teachers I had known. Not only was he 38 , but also he was a great teacher. He pushed and never tolerated the mediocrity(平庸) that had become my standard.
On the occasion of our first semester report cards, Mr Lemon 39 me aside and asked how it was possible that I was a B student in his class and a C student in the 40 of my classes. I passionately told him about my 41 parents, the local gangs, the drugs, the fights, the police---all of the evils I had been 42 to. It was then that Mr Lemon 43 explained that the only person 44 for my situation was me. And the only person with the 45 to change my situation was me. He 46 me that I was failing not because I was a failure. He inspired me to become a better student and he 47 my life.
Ten years later I was preparing to graduate from a university when I spoke to him again . 48 I did get him on the phone, I told him that I had been saving money so that I could invite him to come to Hawaii at my 49 to be a part of my graduation.
I'll never forget his 50 . He said,"Who is this again?" I was just one of hundreds of the students whose life he changed 51 he had no idea of his influence.
Mr Lemon never came to my graduation, but his 52 taught me another valuable lesson. His final lesson for me was that we will never know or understand the 53 we have on other people's lives. He taught me that we all have the 54 to effect people's lives for the 55 ... Or for the worse.

Asian athletes have had a spare time in the first two days of the World Indoor Championships in Birmingham, England. But Chinese hurdler(跨欄運動員) Liu Xiang surprised everyone by taking the bronze medal in the men's 60-meter hurdles.
Liu became the first Chinese male athlete to get a world indoor medal in the 18-year history of the championship and was the only Asian medallist this time.
"Karaoke (卡拉OK)! That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to get a big group of my friends together and sing. I love both Western and Chinese music but especially Michael Jackson," said Liu after clocking 7.52 seconds in the final to take his place on the podium (領獎臺).
"Frankly speaking, I didn't think I was in the shape to win a medal," Liu said. "On my arrival here, my aim was just to fight my way into the final. After I did that, I thought I might just get into the top six. I knew British hurdler Colin Jackson was going to be here and he's the world record holder indoors and out."
"There was also Cuba's reigning (統(tǒng)治的) Olympic champion Anier Garcia and Allen Johnson, from the United States." It was Johnson, the reigning world outdoor champion, who was successful in 7.47 seconds with Garcia second and Jackson finished back in fifth.
Now Liu will never underestimate his chances again and is aiming for glory in Paris later this year.
"There is the World Championship outdoors in the summer and I have now got to think that I can get a medal. I can never again think that I can't get a medal," he said. Liu's success here marks his rapid transition into the senior ranks.
"The university gives me a lot of flexibility. My courses are very easy and the teachers are very helpful," said Liu.
They might have to be even more accommodating(樂于助人的) now if Liu starts taking on celebrity status, although an invite to his homecoming karaoke party may help.

A. Asian athletes can do things at their will in the first two days
B. Asian athletes haven't any achievements in the first two days
C. Asian athletes could match athletes from other continents
D. Asian athletes are tired of competing in the first two days

C. I didn't think I was able to win a medal
D. I haven't told anyone about my achievements in the hurdles

科目:高中英語 來源:2016屆浙江省寧波市高一上學期期末英語試卷(解析版) 題型:閱讀理解
I arrived late one night on a business trip, so I decided to have dinner in the hotel I stayed in. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It stuck me because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I asked what their bill was. He told me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill. He asked if I knew them and I told him “No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other,” and then I left.
The next day I entered the restaurant again. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were told that it had been paid. The waiter just told them what I said. They were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and left.
I smiled and ordered my meal. About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I explained to the hostess that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay, because she felt she should pay for my bill because of the joy brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn’t have to do that, she said with a smile “Love creates Love.”
