“What’s it like to have a gap between your teeth?” a girl asked me one day.
Nobody had ever 36 before. My hand unconsciously rose to cover my mouth.
But, as she looked at me , sincerely waiting for 37 ,I realized she was not trying to be rude. “I never think about it ,” I truthfully replied. She nodded and turned away. I was left wondering if people 38 me and saw only gappy teeth.

how important it was to me. It is part of my 44 .
Nowadays many people do ridiculous things to realize their dream of

What makes a gift special? Is it the price you see on the gift receipt? Or is it
the look on the recipient’s face when they receive it that determines the true
value? What gift is worth the most?
This Christmas I was debating what to give my father. My dad is a hard
person to buy for because he never wants anything. I pulled out my phone to read a text message from my mom saying that we were leaving for Christmas shopping for him when I came across a message on my phone that I had locked. The message was from my father. My eyes fell on a photo of a flower taken in Wyoming, and underneath a poem by William Blake. The flower, alone dandelion standing against the bright blue sky, inspired me. My dad had been reciting those words to me since I was a kid. That may even be the reason why I love writing. I decided that those words would be my gift to my father.
I called back. I told my mom to go without me and that I already created my
gift. I sent the photo of the cream-colored flower to my computer and typed the poem on top of it. As I was arranging the details another poem came to mind. The poem was written by Edgar Allan Poe; my dad recited it as much as he did the other. I typed that out as well and searched online for a background to the words of it. The poem was focused around dreaming, and after searching I found the perfect picture. The image was painted with blues and greens and purples, twisting together to create the theme and wonder of a dream. As I watched both passing through the printer, the white paper coloring with words that shaped my childhood, I felt that this was a gift that my father would truly appreciate.
Christmas soon arrived. The minute I saw the look on my dad’s face as he
unwrapped those swirling black letters carefully placed in a cheap frame, I knew I had given the perfect gift.
56. The idea for a special gift began to form when the author was ______.
A. doing shopping B. having a debate
C. reading a message D. leaving for Wyoming
57. The author’s inspiration for the gift came from _______.
A. a photo of a flower B. a story about a kid
C. a call from the mother D. a text about Christmas
58. The underlined word “it ” in Paragraph 3 refers to a poem by _______.
A. the father B. the author C. William Blake D. Edgar Allan Poe
59. The author made the gift by _______.
A. searching for the poems online B. drawing the background by hand
C. painting the letters in three colors D. matching the words with pictures
60. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To show how to design images for gifts.
B. To suggest making gifts from one’s heart.
C. To explain how computers help create gifts.
D. To describe the gifts the author has received.
B
Still seeking a destination for your weekend break? There are some places which are probably a mere walk away from your college.
King’s Art Centre
A day at the Center could mean a visit to an exhibition of the work of one of the most interesting contemporary artists on show anywhere. This weekend sees the opening of an exhibition of four local artists.
You could attend a class teaching you how to ‘learn from the master’ or get more creative with paint — free of charge.
The Centre also runs two life drawing classes for which there is a small fee.
The Botanic Garden
The Garden has over 8,000 plant species; it holds the research and teaching collection of living plants for Cambridge University.
The multi-branched Torch Aloe here is impressive. The African plant produces red flowers above blue-green leaves, and is not one to miss.
Get to the display house to see Dionaea muscipula, a plant more commonly known as the Venus Flytrap that feeds on insects and other small animals.
The Garden is also a place for wildlife-enthusiasts. Look for grass snakes in the lake. A snake called ‘Hissing Sid’ is regularly seen lying in the heat of the warm sun.
Byron’s Pool
Many stories surround Lord Byron’s time as a student of Cambridge University. Arriving in 1805, he wrote a letter complaining that it was a place of “mess and drunkenness” However, it seems as though Byron did manage to pass the time pleasantly enough. I’m not just talking about the pet bear he kept in his rooms. He spent a great deal of time walking in the village.
It is also said that on occasion Byron swam naked by moonlight in the lake, which is now known as Byron’s Pool. A couple of miles past Grantchester in the south Cambridgeshire countryside, the pool is surrounded by beautiful circular paths around the fields. The cries of invisible birds make the trip a lovely experience and on the way home you can
