When I was a ten-year-old girl，I was once asked to deliver a speech titled “A Real Test in My Life”. To talk before the whole class！Just imagine how 　16　(terrible) shy I was the moment I thought of that with so many eyes fixed upon me. I had no other 　17　 (choose)，though. First I was to draft the speech and that was just a piece of cake for me，because I was a good writer—something to pride myself in. But the hard part 　18　 (lie) in my oral presentation；to read from 　19　 paper was not allowed；I had to give the speech 　20　 my memory and in front of such a big audience！A real trial began when I stood on the platform with my legs 　21　 (tremble) and my mind blank. How much time had passed by，I didn't know. My listeners were still waiting，patiently and without any signs of rushing me. Gradually I found 　22　 back，giving out my speech with difficulty. Finally I finished. After 　23　 seemed to be a hundred years，I found my audience applauding. I made it！From then on，my fear of talking before an audience disappeared. Actually with my confidence building up，I now turn out to be a great speaker. Looking back，I know the 　24　(great) difficulty on our way to success is our fear；overcome it，　25　 we will be able to achieve our goals.

Our experience at the Children’s Medical Care Center was eye-opening. We saw a lot of children without hair due to their radioactive treatment. We played with them and taught them to draw pictures. The children, though 26 (suffer) such great pains, were so friendly that it was much easier to interact with them than we 27 (expect).

One day, an incident deeply touched us. A girl suggested that she teach us how to fold paper. She taught us 28 great patience, explaining each step slowly and clearly. Though we could easily do that, we still pretended to know nothing about it. We followed her, step by step, doing everything she told us. Finally, _ 29 we finished our work successfully, she gave each of us 30 big hug. We could see the pride and happiness on her face. Her father was so thankful to us that he held our hands tightly, tears in his eyes. And it was not until then 31 we knew the girl would receive an operation the next day.

Many stories happened at the center. It was really a 32 (value) experience to us all, enriching our life in a positive way. The children’s happy faces and 33 strong minds will stay with us forever. The days we spent at the Center inspired us boys 34 (reflect) on many things. We began to reflect on how to deal with the difficulties in life, because our “troubles” seem not worth mentioning at all compared with 35 these innocent kids are going through.

LONDON (Reuters) — Children are dying for lack of drugs tailored to their needs, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which launched a global campaign on Thursday to promote more research into child medicine.

More than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters.

The problem is even worse in developing countries where price remains a major barrier and 6 million children die each year from treatable conditions.

In the case of HIV/AIDS, the few existing pediatric therapies（儿科的疗法）developed for children generally cost three times more than adult ones.

As a result, clinicians lack clear guidelines on the best drug to use and often have to guess at the correct dose.

Fortunately, the WHO has drawn up the first international List of Essential Medicines for Children, containing 206 products considered safe for children.

“But a lot remains to be done. There are priority medicines that have not been adapted for children’s use or are not available when needed,” said Dr Hans, the U.N. agency’s director of medicines policy and standards.

Medicines that need to be adapted to children’s needs include many antibiotics, pain drugs as well as combination pills for HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.

The agency is building an Internet entrance linking to clinical trials carried out in children and will launch a Web site with the information early next year.

Testing medicines on children has always been a controversial issue, since good ethical（伦理的）practice requires informed agreement from people participating in clinical trials, which is difficult to obtain in the case of children.

As a result, research-based drug companies have been wary of developing child-friendly medicines and general companies have been slow to produce them at lower cost.

In an attempt to deal with the issue, both Europe and the United States now have special rules offering extended patent protection for drugs that have been tested on children.

36. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?

A. A Global Campaign to Promote Research into AIDS Medicine

B. WHO Says Children are Dying for Lack of Child-sized Drugs

C. Many People are Concerned about Children’s Drugs

D. Measures Taken to Develop Child-friendly Medicine Quickly

37. Which of the following medicine is not needed to be adapted to children’s need according to the passage?

A. Pain killers. B. Tuberculosis. C. AID pills. D. Flu pills.

38. Why has testing medicines on children always been a controversial issue?

A. It is against good ethical practice

B. Children shouldn’t take part in clinical trials.

C. It is hard to get informed agreement from children tested.

D. Parents don’t allow their children to be tested on medicine.

39. The underlined word “wary” in the last but one paragraph means _________.

A. fast B. fond C. cautious D. uninterested

40. What can be inferred from the passage?

A. There is still a long way to go on children’s medicine.

B. An Internet entrance is being built to link to clinical trials carried out in children.

C. Both Europe and the United States now have special rules offering extended patent protection for children’s drugs.

D. Less than half of the drugs currently used to treat children in the industrialized world have not been specifically tested on youngsters

I really hadn’t meant to yell at them. But that grey afternoon saw it just as my son and daughter were making a terrible mess on the floor in the kitchen.

With a tiresome report to write, I felt bothered at my desk. Suddenly, it occurred to me that my kids were at fault. A voice inside me insisted that I do something quickly.

“Ok, you two here, but what an awful thing you are attempting!” I was shouting angrily. I made for them, while it became evident that the boy wanted no part of me. “Get away from us!” he shouted back, there being an expression of support from his sister.

All of a sudden, I found the fault in myself. Quickly I shaped my hands into pincers(钳子) and crawled towards them, “Crabby（暴躁的） Daddy is here. Ha, Ha, Ha, he likes to yell at children, and then eat them!” My son continued to keep me away, but now he was laughing and
