I have learnt a lot from history. It has helped me deal with the problem of growing up. History is precious wealth.
History helps me become more mature(成熟). I used to 66 that life is simple to understand. Now I know that we 67 make simple judgments. People aren’t “good” or “bad”; things aren’t “true” or “false”.

There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the best and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him to learn how he could always be the winner. The farmer said he offered his seed corn to his neighbours.
“How can you s__71__ your best seed corn with your neighbours ” the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the competition with you each year.”
“Why, Sir,” said the farmer, “Didn’t you know The wind picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it q__72__ from field to field. If my neighbours grow bad corn, cross-pollination (异花授粉) will affect the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must help my neighbours to grow good corn.”
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve (提高) i__73__his neighbours’ corn doesn’t improve.
As a great man says, “We make a living by what we grow; we make a life by what we give.” We can’t live w__74__ food, clothes, and many other things.

So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find happiness in their life.
D) Answer the questions （根据短文内容回答下列问题）6%
Albert Einstein is considered as one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century. Even as a small boy Einstein was thoughtful. It was said that he was a slow talker and he did not start talking until he was three years old. The boy was encouraged by his uncle, an engineer, and by a medical student who ate dinner once a week at the Einstein’s home.
Albert Einstein was born on March 14, 1879, in Germany. Though he attended school as a young boy, his real studies were done at home with books on math, physics and philosophy. By the age of 12 he had taught himself geometry (几何学). A teacher advised Einstein to leave school, since he destroyed the other students’ respect for the teacher. When he was 15, he had to leave school in mid-term to join his parents, who had moved to Italy.
At the age of 16 he failed the exam to enter a school, where he would have been trained as an electrical engineer. At that time, Einstein developed a plan. He decided to enter a school to study maths and physics so that he could become a teacher. In 1900 he graduated as a teacher of maths and physics. His teachers did not think very highly of him, so he had difficulty in finding a job in a university. In 1901 he took a job as a high school teacher and married Mileva Martisch. One year later, Einstein became a teacher at the University of Bern. In 1905 Einstein wrote a paper on what is now known as the Special Theory of Relativity (狭义相对论). He won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1921 for his work on the photoelectric effect (光电反应).
Did you know that there is even a crater(陨石坑) on the moon named after Einstein
