This is my third story. When I was 17，I read a quote that 16 like，“If you live each day 17 it was your last，someday you'll most certainly be right.” Since then，for the past thirty-three years，I've looked 18 the mirror every morning and asked myself：“If today were the last day of my life，would I want to do what I am about to do today？”And whenever the answer has been “No” for too many days in a 19 ，I know I need to change something.
About a year ago I was 20 with cancer. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable，and that I should 21 to live no longer than three to six months. They advised me to go home and get my 22 in order，which is doctors' code for “prepare to 23 ”. Later that evening when the doctors 24 the cells taken from my pancreas(胰腺)under a microscope，they started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is 25 with surgery. I had the surgery and， 26 ，I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death，and I hope it's the closest I get for a few more decades. Death is the 27 we all share. No one has 28 escaped it.

Don't let the noise of 33 opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most importantly，have the courage to 34 your heart and intuition(直觉). They 35 already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

　 We are all interested in equality, but while some people try to protect the school and examination system in the name of equality, other, still in the name of equality, want only to destroy it.
　　 Any society which is interested in equality of opportunity and standards of achievement must regularly test its pupils. The standards may be changed—no examination is perfect—but to have no tests or examinations would mean the end of equality and of standards. There are groups of people who oppose this view and who do not believe either in examinations or in any controls in school or on teachers. This would mean that everything would depend on luck since every pupil would depend on the efficiency, the values and the purpose of each teacher.
　　 Without examinations, employers will look for employees from the highly respected schools and from families known to them—a form of favourtism will replace equality. At the moment, the bright child from an ill—respected school can show certificates to prove he or she is suitable for a job, while the lake of certificate indicates the unsuitability of a dull child attending a well—respected school. This defense of excellence and opportunity would disappear if examinations were taken away, and the bright child form a poor family would be a prisoner of his or her school’s reputation, unable to compete for employment with the child from the favoured school.
　　 The opponents of the examination system suggest that examinations are an evil force because they show differences between pupils. According to these people, there must be no special, different, academic class. They have even suggested that there should be no form of difference in sport or any other area: all jobs or posts should be filled by unsystematic selection. The selection would be made by people who themselves are probably selected by some computer.
　　40. The word “favouritism” in paragraph 3 is used to describe the phenomenon that_____.
　　A. bright children also need certificates go get satisfying jobs.
　　B. children from well—respected schools tend to have good jobs
　　C. poor children with certificates are favoured in job markets
　　D. children attending ordinary schools achieve great success
　　41. What would happen if examinations were taken away according to the author?
　　A. Schools for bright children would lose their reputation.
　　B. There would be more opportunities and excellence.
　　C. Children from poor families would be able to change their schools.
　　D. Children’s job opportunity would be affected by their school reputation.
　　42. The opponents of the examination system will agree that _________.
　　A. jobs should not be assigned by systematic selection
　　B. computers should be selected to take over many jobs
　　C. special classed are necessary to keep the school standards
　　D. schools with academic subjects should be done away with
　　43. The passage mainly focuses on ___________.
　　A. schools and certificates B. examination and equality
　　C. opportunity and employment D. standards and reputation
C
Bobby Moresco grew up in New York's Hell's Kitchen, a tough working-class neighborhood on Manhattan's West Side．But Hell's Kitchen lies right next door to Broadway, and the bright lights attracted Bobby from the time he was a teen．Being stage-struck was hardly what a street kid could admit to his partners．Fearing their ridicule, he told no one, not even his girlfriend, when he started taking acting lessons at age 17．If you were a kid from the neighborhood, you became a cop, construction worker, longshoreman or criminal．Not an actor．
Moresco struggled to make that long walk a few blocks east．He studied acting, turned out for all the cattle calls—and during the decade of the 1970s made a total of $2,000．"I wasn't a good actor, but r had a driving need to do something different with my life．" he says．
He moved to Hollywood, where he drove a cab and worked as a bartender．"My father said, 'Stop this craziness and get a job; you have a wife and a daughter．'" But Moresco kept working at his chosen craft．
Then in 1983 his younger brother Thomas was murdered in a mob-linked killing．Moresco moved back to his old neighborhood and started writing as a way to explore the pain and the patrimony （遗产） of Hell's Kitchen．Half-Deserted Streets, based on his brother's killing, opened at a small Off-Broadway theater in 1988．A Hollywood producer saw it and asked him to work on a screenplay．
His reputation grew, and he got enough assignments to move back to Hollywood．By 2003, he was again out of work and out of cash when he got a call from Paul Haggis, a director who had befriended him．Haggis wanted help writing a film about the country after September 11．The two worked on the writing, but every studio in town turned it down．They kept pitching （竭力推销） it． Studio executives, however, thought no one wanted to see a severe, honest vision of race and fear and lives in collision in modern America．
Moresco believed so strongly in the script that he borrowed money and sold his house．He and Haggis kept pushing．At last the writers found an independent film producer who would take a chance, but the upfront money was too little．Moresco delayed his salary．
Crash slipped into the theaters in May 2005, and quietly became both a hit and a critical success．It was nominated for six Academy Awards and won three—Best Picture, Best Film Editing and Best Writing （Original Screenplay） by Paul Haggis and the kid from Hell's Kitchen．
At age 54, Bobby Moresco became an overnight success．"If you have something you want to do in life, don’t think about the problems," he says, "think about other ways to get it done．"
44．Rearrange the following statements in terms of time order:
a．His work Half-Deserted Streets drew attention as it opened at a small Off-Broadway theater．
b．Unexpectedly Crash became both a hit and a huge success．
c．He moved to Hollywood to be a taxi driver and a waiter．
d．He started to learn acting in spite of hardness with the belief of d
