My name is Scott and I am 36 years old. I have spent most of my life doing an 41 job, so I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me. I saw no point in trying to 42 my life or the lives of the people around me. Two years ago my wife 43 me to return to school and work toward a career where I would find satisfaction. So I entered Long Beach City College to pursue a 44 in history. Last term I took a political science class. The 45 Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He 46 in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House. When I asked another instructor 47 someone who was so overqualified worked at a small community college, she 48 told me because he wanted to. This 49 me, so I asked Dr. Rock himself why he did not pursue a better role in his career. What he told me has changed my 50 forever. He told me that by working at the college he would be able to 51 the kinds of students he believed would make a 52 in the world. He said that 53 the right motivation and support, the students he taught could become the future leaders of our country. He said that he preferred the inner city 54 because the students there showed the 55 promise and cared deeply for their education. Dr. Rock paid attention to the needs of the community. He taught me how to care and 56 us to take part in our community in any way we 57 . I thought that I was the 58 one that was affected by his lessons, but at the end of the term I found that the entire class had felt the same 59 that came over me. Dr. Rock taught us how to 60 our country, our community and ourselves. 小题1: A．irregular B．unsatisfying C．impatient D．unfamiliar 小题2: A．taste B．feel C．better D．respect 小题3: A．convinced B．suggested C．ordered D．informed 小题4: A．degree B．reward C．success D．career 小题5: A．head B．classmate C．officer D．instructor 小题6: A．played B．served C．assisted D．succeeded 小题7: A．where B．how C．why D．whether 小题8: A．angrily B．hurriedly C．nervously D．simply 小题9: A．interested B．frightened C．worried D．troubled 小题10: A．feeling B．spirit C．life D．family 小题11: A．remember B．reach C．watch D．calm 小题12: A．promise B．decision C．difference D．choice 小题13: A．beyond B．through C．for D．with 小题14: A．environment B．college C．education D．background 小题15: A．most B．usual C．deepest D．strongest 小题16: A．forced B．warned C．encouraged D．invited 小题17: A．could B．did C．should D．had 小题18: A．few B．just C．first D．only 小题19: A．time B．change C．pressure D．reaction 小题20: A．appeal to B．make for C．turn to D．care about
