Mr. Dawson was an old bad-tempered man, and everyone in town knew it. Kids knew not to go into his yard to pick apples, because old Dawson, they said, would come after you with his gun.
One Friday, 12-year-old Janet was walking out with her friend Amy. They had to 36 Daw-
son’s house, but as they got 37 , Janet saw him sitting on his front porch and suggested they cross over the street. Like most, she was 38 of the old man.
Amy said, “Don’t 39 .” When they got close enough, Dawson looked up with his 40
frown (皱眉), but when he saw it was Amy, he gave a broad 41 .
Amy smiled back and told him that they were going to listen to music. Dawson told them that sounded 42 , and gave them each a(an) 43 .
Later, Janet asked Amy, “Everyone says he’s the 44 man in town. 45 he was so nice to us? ” she pretended he was wearing a(an) 48 smile, so she always smiled. It really took some time 49 he one day half-smiled back.
After a while, he started smiling a real smile and then 50 to her. She said he always 51
Her an apple now, and was always very kind.

Some people find it difficult to 36 Bjork’s music. Her sound is an acquired taste, but 37 you get into it, you’re hooked. After the 38 press conference, I was 39 to a room where we did a one-on-one 40 for radio. I was surprised at how intelligent and pleasant she was. And fun.

She’s 52 a new album, Volta. She challenges us to enter her own world with every album, and this one is no 53 .
Working with a variety of producers, including Timbaland, she takes us into her music again with an artistic 54 . It is 55 to digest, but if you can appreciate her unusual efforts, you will have a lot to get into.

Man-made Causes
Man-made causes probably do the most damage. There are many man-made causes. 21 is one of the biggest man-made problems. Pollution 22 in many shapes and sizes. Burning fossil fuels is one thing that causes pollution. Fossil(化石) fuels(燃料)are fuels made of organic matter such as coal, or oil. when fossil fuels are burned they 23 a green house gas called CO2. Also mining coal and oil allows methane to escape. How does it escape? Methane(甲烷)is 24 in the ground. 25 coal or oil is mined you have to dig up the earth a little. When you dig up the fossil fuels you dig up the methane as well.
Another major man-made 26 of Global Warming is population. More people 27 more food, and more methods of transportation, right? That means more methane because 28 will be more burning of fossil fuels, 29 more agriculture. Now you’re probably thinking, “Wait a minute, you said agriculture is going to be damaged by Global Warming, but 30 you’re saying agriculture is going to help cause Global Warming?” Well, have you 31 been in a barn filled with animals and you smell something 32 ? You re 33 methane. Another source of methane is manure. Because more food is needed we have to raise food. Animals like cows are a source of food which means more manure and methane. Another problem 34 the increasing population is 35 . More people means more cars, and more cares means more pollution. Also, many people have more than one car.
Since CO2 contributes to global warming, the increase in population makes the problem worse because we breathe out CO2. 36 , the trees that change our CO2 to oxygen are being demolished because we’re using the land that we cut the trees down from as property 37 our homes and buildings. We are not replacing the trees(an important part of our ecosystem), so we are 38 taking 39 of our natural resources and giving nothing back in 40 .

Everyone has experienced trying but failing to master a difficult book, which was begun with the hope of increasing one's understanding. When that happens, it is 16to think that it was a mistake to try to read it, but that was not the mistake. The mistake was in 17too much from the first reading of a(n) 18 book. If you read it in the right way, no book written for the 19 reader, no matter how difficult, need be a cause for despair (绝望).
What is the right method? The 20is an important and helpful rule of reading that is either not known or often forgotten. That rule is simply this: when reading a difficult book for the first time, read it through without ever 21to think about the things that you do not understand immediately.
Do not be stopped by what you can't understand. Read through the difficult 22 , and you’ll soon come to things that you do understand. Read these 23 . You will have a much better chance of understanding all of the book when you read it again, but that 24you to have read the book through once 25 .
What you understand by reading the book through to the 26will help you when you try later to read the places that you did not 27 in your first reading. Or if you never re-read the book, understanding half of it is much better than understanding nothing of it, which will happen if you allow yourself to be stopped by the first difficult part of the book.
Most of us were taught to 28the things that we do not understand. We were told to find the29of unfamiliar words, and to try to find an explanation in another 30for anything that we did not understand in the book that we were reading. But when these things are done before the proper time, they only harm our reading, instead of helping it.
