III. Complete the following passage with the words or phrases in the box. Each can only be used once (将下列单词或词组填入空格。每空格限填一词，每个单词或词组只能填一次): (共8分)

What do you look for when you go shopping for clothes? Do you choose something fashionable ... or comfortable? Do you like to look different? Or do you wear the same clothes as your friends? Do you go for this year’s colors? Is it the logo the company symbol-that catches your 46 ? Or maybe film stars are wearing these clothes? What helps you choose the clothes you like? Everyone spends money on clothes, and everyone has their 47 look. The best-known clothing companies sell their ―designer‖clothes all over the world. But the number of these big name companies is in fact very small, and the clothes they make are more expensive than the clothes made by less well-known companies. Many people even 48 them to cheaper clothes. Why? Many young people today 49 the way they look. They often buy ―designer‖ clothes because they think they look cool. Then the less well-known companies make clothes which look the same. But they don’t sell as well because they don’t have the logo.

People also think designer clothes are better made. For example, a lot of people think the right and good running shoes will make you run faster or play better. Of course, this is not always true. It is the training not the trainers-that improves your 50 or your score. But that’s not the point. People believe that ... and then buy the shoes. The big companies only want to make money.

Most of all, designer clothes are more 51 because of clever advertising. All of the international companies spend millions of dollars every year to make us buy their clothes. And they 52 .

Most people dress in a way that their personality can be 53 . But if some of us buy expensive clothes just to look cool, what d oes that say about us? Maybe it’s just clever advertising.

So next weekend, think about the clothes you put on. What’s the logo on your trainers? Who made your coat? And how many of your friends wear the same clothes as you do? And then think that maybe some of us could spend our money better.

I used to live in Kobe in Japan. On my way home on the bus every evening I used to look for

because the windows were closed on the bus but I imagined it to be loud and clear. I wanted to be

like that man.

One night I went to Himeji, a city not far from Kobe. As I walked with my family along the river I saw a statue(雕

像). It was a young man who looked just like me. He was wearing a cap and smiling. Around his neck was a leather strap

and in his hands was a saxophone. He was lifting the saxophone to his lips and he was just about to play. I stayed there

for a long time by the statue dreaming of playing a saxophone on TV.

Two weeks later it was my birthday. Imagine my joy when I opened my present from my parents and found that it

was a saxophone! I put it to my lips to play, but it wouldn’t make a sound. Then Dad told me to read the instruction book

to find out what to do. After about 15 minutes the saxophone was ready to play. I raised it slowly to my lips as my family

watched. But still there was no sound. I blew and blew but I couldn’t get the saxophone to play. I was almost crying when

suddenly the saxophone made the most beautiful sound—loud and clear like I imagined the music of the man by the river

in Kobe. I blew again, I moved my fingers on the saxophone and I made more sounds. I was happy because I was playing

Dear Peter

I hope everything is going well. I have something very special to tell you. Last week I went

into space for the first time!

My parents visited space last year, but I was too y 81 to go with them. Anyway, a

month ago I had my birthday party. It was very exciting when I opened my presents. There were

lots of wonderful games, but I was really happy when I saw a t 82 for a space flight!

Two weeks after my birthday, I had to go on a short training course. It was quite difficult, and I had to study very hard. L 83 , I got a good mark in the exam in the end, and my parents were able to b 84 the date of the space flight. I began to look forward to that day.

Finally the day arrived, and my parents took me to the airport. I got on the plane with ten other passengers. We took off from the runway and c 85 higher and higher. After about an hour, we went down from the plane into the space shuttle. The plane then dropped the space shuttle at very high altitude(高度). The engines in the space shuttle started, and thirty minutes later we were in space.

I admit that for a few seconds I felt a little n 86 when I sat in the space shuttle. However, when we left the Earth’s a tmosphere, everyone began to float(飘浮). It was great fun! I felt so free in space, and it was really amazing to see some other p 87 out of the window though I had seen them many times in my geography book.

My first space flight only lasted fifteen minutes, but I will never forget it. I also have some good news for you. My parents say they want to go back into space next year. They say I can bring a friend. Would you like to come with us? I hope to hear from you soon.

D. Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题): (12分)

It was 3:21 a.m. when ten-year-old Glenn Creamer was woken up by the smell of burning. Except for the cracking(爆裂声) of flames somewhere below, there was not a sound in the two-floor house. But he realized at once what was happening.

As his father was away on night duty at a local factory, Glenn was worried about the safety

of his mother, his 14-year-old sister Karen and his 12-year-old brother Todd. He ran downstairs

through the smoke-filled house to push and pull at Karen and Todd until they sat up. Then he

helped each one through the house to the safety of the garden. There, his sister and brother,

taking short and quick breaths and coughing, couldn’t move any more.

The ten-year-old boy raced back into the house and upstairs to his mother’s room. He found it impossible to wake her up and there was nobody to help Glenn carry her to the garden. But the boy kept clam. As a fireman said later, ―acted with all the self-control of a trained adult.‖

First he filled a bucket with water from the bathroom and threw water over his mother and her bed. In this way, she

would be kept away from the fire before the fireman arrived. Then, with a wet cloth around his head he went back to the garden.

He could hear the fire engine coming up, but how would the firemen find his mother in the smoke-filled house where flames had almost swallowed up the ground floor?

Fetching a ball of string from the garage, Glenn raced back into the house and dashed upstairs to his mother’s room.

He tried one end of the string to her hand. Then he began to run back. He laid out the string as he went through the hall and back out into the garden.

Minutes later he was telling fire chief John Coughlan, ―The string ________________________.‖ Mrs. Creamer was carried to safety as the flames were breaking through her bedroom floor.
