  Passage 1

  Once there was a girl called Arachne who was very proud of her skill at weaving. Many people came to see her

  21

  her threads in red, blue, green or yellow that made her

  22

  pictures glow with life. “The goddess Athene

  23

  have given you such a gift,” they said. But Arachne tossed her head. “No,” she replied

  24

  “I’ve taught myself everything I know. ”

  25

  those words, the goddess Athene decided to teach her a lesson. First she

  26

  herself as an old woman and

  27

  Arachne’s door. When she opened it, the goddess warned her, “You shouldn’t compare yourself with the great Athene. You should be more

  28

  .” At that Arachne grew very angry. “ Let her come here and have a

  29

  with me. Then we’ll see who’s better at weaving! ”

  30

  Athene threw off her disguise and the contest began.

  All day the two contestants wove bright

  31

  into marvellous pictures. Arachne’s was definitely

  32

  in skill and design. At that Athene grew

  33

  angry that she hit Archne. At once the girl became smaller and smaller. Her head disappeared and her body became

  34

  . Her human arms and legs disappeared to be replaced with twice as many thinner insect-like

  35

  . As Arachne ran to hide, Athene laughed

  36

  “You may live, Arachne, but you will do your weaving

  37

  from now on. ” Hearing those words, Archne began to

  38

  a thread and to weave a pattern in the air. She had become the first

  39

  . Since then she has continued to recreate her lost

  40

  beautiful masterpiece in her webs, and all other

  spiders have followed her.

  Passage 2

  Every fast-food employee knows that the drive-through window is the worst position. The window sticks with constant ice; the roar of engines hurts your

  21

  ; your words are lost in the howling wind.

  On a

  22

  afternoon, everything changed.

  Every once in a while, the sub-zero temperatures seal a

  23

  windows shut. Drivers don’t exactly enjoy having to stand outside in the cold,

  24

  their orders into a speaker box, when they expect to drive through on their heated leather seats. In such cases, most customers tend to show their annoyance to the employees.

  This woman was

  25

  .

  “I’ll get the next car’s

  26

  as well,” she said as she came up to the window to pay. She stood outside,

  27

  much snow on her hair. Though she was obviously freezing, her bright

  28

  lit up her face like a fire.

  “You can’t

  29

  their drinks,” I said, confused and tired.

  “No, but I’ll buy them,” she said. “Pay it forward and all that.”

  Completely puzzled, I charged her as

  30

  , and when the next customer arrived at the window I explained what had just happened. I watched as his

  31

  changed — first angry to be out in the cold, then

  32

  at the random act of kindness, and finally, delighted by his

  33

  .

  “I suppose I’ll pay for the next order then,” he replied, nodding and waving at the impatient driver

  34

  him. He

  35

  over the cash and received his pre-paid hot drink.

  The trend continued. Customers arrived annoyed, only to leave

  36

  and pleased. Some were shocked to spend much more than they had expected,

  37

  others ended up receiving their order for less than half the price.

  Five vehicles passed, then ten, then twenty. No one refused to pay. Customers stood at my window

  38

  a fist-full of change to buy drinks for a complete stranger. Cars drove off, honking (鸣笛) and

  39

  their thanks.

  It only takes one customer, one person, to change the entire

  40

  of traffic. It only takes one moment, one smile, to warm up even the coldest of days.

  Passage 4

  Dropping into desperation completely, Jack wandered on the streets, knowing he came to the end of life. In his mid-fifties,

  Jack had never been 41

  , experienced the joy of having children or spent holidays with his family. On this miserable rainy night, he felt as if there was 42

  in the entire world who

  cared whether he lived or died.

  Meanwhile, I was sitting in my room watching the rain 43

  my window. When I heard the doorbell ring, I

  44

  from my chair and raced out. But my mother was already at the door. Opening it, she found herself face-to-face with a very dirty-looking man with tears streaming down his face. My mother, overcome by 45

  ,invited the man inside, and he sat with my parents in our living room.

  46

  ,1 walked secretly downstairs so that I could get a better look. I couldn't understand what they were saying, but the sight of the man, 47

  his head in his hands and crying, made my chest ache. I raced back up stairs to my room and 48

  my hand into my money jar. Pulling out my only half-dollar coin, I ran back downstairs.

  When I reached the door of the living room, I walked right in .The three

  49
