The summer before I went off to college, Mom stood me in her usual spot behind the ironing board (烫衣板)and said, “Pay attention: I’m going to teach you to iron.”

“Learn to iron a shirt,” com Mom said, “and you can iron anything.”
But ironing shirts was not 14 work. It didn’t make use of long muscles we used to throw a baseball, and it wasn’t a smooth operation like ice-skating. Ironing was like driving a car on a street that has a stop sign every 10 feet. Moreover, an iron produced steam and it carried an element of 15 . If you touched the wrong part of it, you’d get burnt. If you forgot to turn it off when you 16 , you might bum down the house.
As for technique, Mom 17 me to begin with the flat spaces outward, always pushing the iron forward into wrinkled (有褶皱的)parts. Collars had to be done right. Mom said they were close to your face, where everyone would 18 them.
Over the years, I’ve learned to iron shirts skillfully, which gives me a sense of 19 .Whatever failures I suffer in my life, an ironed shirt tells me I am good at something. 20 , through ironing I’ve learned the method for solving even the most troublesome problems. “Deal with wrinkles one at a time,” as Mom might have said, “and before long everything will get ironed out.”

We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be __11___ to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are ___12___ wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right ___13___, and remain safe. Car divers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent accidents.
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be ___14___ for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is never acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 15 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know exactly what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is ___16__ to eat animals, but other argue that they can eat meat and still be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel so 17 when stealing some food to eat, if he lives in a really poor area and he is 18 .
Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to 19 others. However, some people argue that rules may be confusing, having observed that rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones —so who is to ___20__ what is right ?

12. A. equally B. slightly C. clearly D. increasingly

18. A. begging B. staving C. growing D. wandering
19. A. follow B. instruct C. treat D. protect
20. A. predict B. explain C. decide D. consider
本文说明规章有助于人们判断是非,作出正确选择,有助于我们和睦相处,但有时要判断否非也不容易。
11. A 与下文hurt or bully(欺负) others 意义相对的应是be kind to others,反义同现。
12. C 与第一句some things are obviously right相对应,与obviously近义复现的是clearly。
13. D 由常识和下句 “…tell them the right things to do on the road”可知,规章是告诉人们对该如何做作出正确“选择”。
14. C 由逻辑推断可知,如果人们遵守规章而不用考虑其他事情,他们就很“容易”形成是“黑白”观。
15. A 由常识可知,坚持自己的观点的人有时也会“惹上麻烦”。“上台(get into power)”与语境不符,“坐牢(get into prison)”似乎也是可能发生的,但可能言重了。
16. B 由but可知,应选与下文中kind相对的cruel。反义同现。
17. D 根据俗语“做贼心虚”可知,偷东西应有“犯罪感”,即感到犯了罪(guilty)。
18. B 因与poor(贫穷)同现的应是starving(挨饿)。
19. C 由因果关系可知,“规章制度有助于我们和睦相处,因为规章制度告诉我们‘对待’他人的正确方式”。
20. C 既然不同学校的规章不同,该由谁来“评判”什么是正确的呢?
