Hungry for Home

     If my life were a1, I would fast-forward through senior high. My senior years were 2. Like every junior high kid, I was3 with who I was and how I would4 in life.

     I tried and failed in a number of things I wanted to excel in sports but had not yet5that would never happen. I remember being 6 by most of my peers and being cut from the basketball team and7 to play football. To be loved and accepted seemed to me at the time something I could never,8 , achieve.

     During that time I went through the cafeteria line and ate alone, feeling unloved and 9One day I 10 that I had no one to eat with. Mom said to me, "If you want, you can come home for 11 ." As soon as the bell 12 at noon and I left the school and ran home that day my mom sat across the13 for about 15 minutes and looked at me and listened to me and three 14 later I still remember those times with 15. She just paid attention to me.

     I now know that I didn't need my 16 filled as much as I needed my emotional fuel tank refilled. I just needed a17 place of warm acceptance for a few minutes a day. Now you know a little more about how I18 home.

Home is a place where you don't have to 19 alone and eat. Home is a place where people don't20 you and avoid you.

“我们亚洲，山是高昂的头，我们亚洲，河像热血流…”听到这首《亚洲雄风》歌曲，我们的脑海中会涌现出亚洲山河的壮丽画卷．下列河流注入印度洋的是（  ）

a．如图甲所示，将橡皮筋的一端固定在木板上的A点，另一端拴上两根绳套，每根绳套分别连着一个弹簧测力计．

b．沿着两个方向拉弹簧测力计，将橡皮筋的活动端拉到某一位置，将此位置标记为O点，读取此时弹簧测力计的示数，分别记录两个拉力F₁、F₂的大小．用笔在两绳的拉力方向上分别标记a、b两点，并分别将其与O点连接，表示两力的方向．

c．再用一个弹簧测力计将橡皮筋的活动端仍拉至O点，记录其拉力F的大小并用上述方法记录其方向．

①实验中确定分力方向时，图甲中的b点标记得不妥，其原因是____．

②用一个弹簧测力计将橡皮筋的活动端仍拉至O点，这样做的目的是____．

③图乙是在白纸上根据实验数据作出的力的图示，其中____是F₁和F₂合力的实际测量值．

④实验中的一次测量如图丙所示，两个测力计M、N的拉力方向互相垂直，即α+β=90°．若保持测力计M的读数不变，当角α由图中所示的值逐渐减小时，要使橡皮筋的活动端仍在O点，可采用的办法是____

A．增大N的读数，减小β角

B．减小N的读数，减小β角

C．减小N的读数，增大β角

D．增大N的读数，增大β角．

    Last winter ,my wife and I traveled to visit my parents in the countryside. We had taken lots of luggage(行李）but we manage to get on the train and got everything settled. Four young men 1 in front of us in a face-to-face seat.

    They were about twenty years old and they were strong and2, and I disliked them immediately. They were laughing loudly, obviously 3 themselves and they 4 a foreign language.

    As the train went quickly 5 the countryside, I kept an eye on them as they talking loudly.

    Sometimes they took a look in our direction. Later on two of them 6 at a small train station,the rest of them 7 to laugh and joke in their own language.

    When we finally arrived at our8, only one of them was left on the train. He was 9 to leave, too. And as I walked towards him with my heavy luggage, he reached out and asked in English, “Want a hand with that, mate?"

    He 10 the heavier bag up the station steps for us. We were pleasantly surprised and very grateful.
