Consideration and wisdom are necessary before we do everything. Having taken a course of action without thinking, we find at once too many difficulties, small or big, preventing our 　 __37　. If we avoid acting hurriedly, we can avoid most of our troubles. For instance, a young man has a gift for teaching and doing research work. What a foolish act it would be for him to go and work as a businessman! Most of us 　38　 to have a satisfactory life because they have selected a job for which they don’t mean to go in. Without taking into consideration our means and abilities for a particular business we should not run 　39　 into it.

However, too much care and fear results in failure. It is a mistake to hesitate or delay action when 　40　 action is called for. When a swimmer has to save a drowning man, he must act at once without delay. 　41　, to rescue a child or a woman from a burning house, we must rush in without hesitation. Where there is no room for delay and hesitation, there must be no hesitation and delay. If there is too much care and too much fear of risks, results are often attended with failure.

Therefore, only with 　42　 of consideration, courage and confidence can we get over any difficulty. We can be _43 _ and realize our aims in life only by just getting the three points put together. Foresight and forethought, combined with courage and confidence in taking 　44　risks, are necessary. With them we can 　45　 ourselves able to deal with an unexpected problem and ensure success.

III. Reading Comprehension (35%)

It’s hard being an astronaut’s son. I mean, everybody expects you to be unusual or 46 , and I’m just an average student, and I’m average, too, when it 47 basketball, football, soccer, and baseball.

I often wonder how my father ever had a son like me. I mean he’s so 48 and so good at everything. So I used to dream about doing something spectacular (不平常的) to 49 my father and make him 50 me.

In one class, my teacher 51 a Father’s Day essay contest for us and the winners’ essays would be read in front of all the parents and students. After school I walked home, 52 my father, who I would write about in my essay.

He sat with me in the 53 when I was a little kid and had a nightmare. He 54 me with a new puppy at my eighth birthday party. He sat and tried to 55 death to me when Grandpa Bob died. To me, he wasn’t a world-famous astronaut, just my dad.

I wrote about all these 56 in my essay.

One of our neighbors said, “I 57 you’ll win the contest, David. You're the only one in town who could write about being the son of an astronaut.” I just shrugged(耸耸肩).

I hadn’t shown anyone the essay, but now I almost hoped I wouldn’t win. I didn’t want to win just because my father was an astronaut.

I won the second prize. When I finished reading my essay, the 58 applauded. I saw my father blowing his nose. I went back to my seat.

Dad nodded to me, 59 his throat, and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life,” he said.

It was the proudest moment of my life, too. Maybe I’ll never be a great hero or win a Nobel Prize, but just then, it was 60 just to be my father’s son.
