Passage40 Here’s a part of an e-mail answer from Joe giving some advice to his son in college. “When I was young, I often met t＿ 1 about what to do and what not to do. My grandmother told me not to worry about those things. I o＿ 2 did them once a year or once a lifetime. I＿ 3 , I should try to do well those things, and I do them every day. For example, I need to eat every day, so I should learn how to c＿ 4 . I need to talk to o＿ 5 every day, so I should learn how to work with d＿ 6 people and know how to s ＿7 well. I walk every day, so my s＿ 8 should be all right and comfortable. Every night I sleep, so my bed should let me have a good rest. Taking care of the e＿ 9

things m ＿10 that you do a better job of the one in a lifetime things 15 / 18as well.” Passage41 Let me tell you a story. A good friend of mine lives with six hundred animals on an island.

The money for his books helps him to p＿ 4 for all the animal food. My friend told me that when he was looking for water last week (There is not enough water on the island, though there is a lot all around it, he f ＿5 oil. He n ＿6 money for his travels and for his zoo, and a little oil would buy e＿ 7 water for a long time, but he knows that if he tells anybody else about it, it will be the e＿ 8 of his zoo and his life’s work. So I think he will not tell anybody e＿ 9 you and me about what he found ? because oil and water can’t be p ＿10 together. Oil may bring greater trouble to his animals than not having enough water. Do you think so?

Passage42 The u ＿1 means the earth, the sun, the moon and the stars and the space b＿ 2 them. Many of the stars are so f ＿3 away that we can not see them. The moon, our satellite, travels a ＿4 the earth. It has already been visited b＿ 5 man from the earth. Man-made satellites have been sent up i＿ 6 space by many countries. They go round the earth. They are used for helping us to learn more a＿ 7 the earth, the weather and other things. They are also used for sending and r ＿8 messages. It makes people f ＿9 different countries understand each other much better. So people say the world itself is becoming a much s＿ 10 place. People call the small place “the global village”.
