As she walked round the large shop, Edith realized how difficult it was to choose a suitable Christmas 1 for her father.
She wished that he were as easy to 2 as her mother, who was always 3 with perfume (香水). Besides, shoping at this time of the year was a most 4 job. People 5 on your feet, pushed you with their shoulders and almost 6 you over in their hurry in order to find something cheap ahead of you.
Partly to have a rest, Edith paused in front of a counter, where some beautiful ties were on show . "They are real silk," the shop assistant told her with a smile trying to 7 her to buy one. But Edith knew from past 8 that her choice of ties hardly ever pleased her father.
She moved on slowly and then, quite by chance, 9 where a small crowd of men had gathered round a counter. She found some fine pipes on sale and the shapes were very beautiful. Edith did not hesitate for long, although her father 10 smoked a pipe once in a while, she believed this was 11 to please him.
When she got home, with her small but 12 present hidden in her handbag, it was time for supper and her parents were already at table. Her mother was in great 13 . "Your father has at last decided to stop smoking," she told her daughter happily. Edith was so 14 that she could not 15 a single word.

A Man Named Lawrence
This is an act of kindness that happened to me one Sunday morning.
It was at two o’clock in the morning. We just came out of a club and were trying to find our 36 back to our city. As we were trying to 37 the bus stop, a man came to us and said he would show us 38 it was. Although we were a little worried, we had no choice but follow him. He told us he was a homeless man and that his name was Lawrence.
When we passed some city workers 40 the streets, they sprayed (喷溅) the homeless man. Lawrence told us that they always sprayed the 41 if they were "in the way". I didn’t know why they would do that. They were human beings, 42 , not cattle or objects.
This man had just gotten 43 in the middle of a cold night, but 44 shouting at the workers, he asked them, "How would you 45 if your father or grandfather were treated like this?" He then told us, "It’s 46 use shouting at them, because they just get angry. You’re better off saying something from the 47 ."
It is 48 ! The world could be so different if only we put our anger 49 , lowered our voices and tried to speak from our hearts.
He took us safely to the stop and on the way talked about everything. We 50 him and told him that we 51 have never found the place on our own. He said, "I have a son of your age, and I hope that if he were 52 , someone would help him."
Not only did Lawrence clear out all the fear and distrust in our hearts, he helped us find our way, in more than one ways. 53 , this man taught us kindness. There was 54 we could really do to repay him. The only thing I hope to do is to 55 other people out.

I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.
I must 21 at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists（学话者）, many of 22 are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be 23 ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.
As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far 24 of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting 25 six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often, 26 giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she 27 me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.
We all have company manners. If you were to 28 a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is 29 listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very 30 they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better --- they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.
21. A. admit B. accept C. refuse D. deny
22. A. them B. who C. whom D. us
23A. useful B. important C. useless D. helpful
24. A. side B. end C. distance D. length
25. A. within B. at C. from D. by
26. A. other than B. except for C. apart form D. instead of
27. A. excuses B. suspects C. thinks D. accuses
28. A. call at B. drop by C. drop in D. call on
29. A. nobody else B. nobody C. someone else D. someone
30. A. strangely B. politely C. differently D. calmly
