2、se one word that best fits each blank.A Great FriendshipThomas Jefferson and James Madison met in 1776. Could it have been any other year? They worked together and started to further American Revolution and later to shape the official new plan of government, _21_ (develop) a close friendship, which
3、lasted for 50 years. There were _22_(share) purposes and a common end on both sides. Four and a half months _23_ he died, when he was ill and worried about his family, Jefferson wrote to his longtime friend. His words and Madisons reply remind us that friends are friends till death.“The friendship w

If ever the earth has noticed a system of administration conducted with _26_single and keen eye to the general interest and happiness of those committed to, it must be the system protected by truth, to _27_ our lives have been devoted. To myself, you have

Take care of me when dead and be assured that I should leave with you my last affections.”A week later, Madison replied.“You cannot look back _28_ the long period of our private friendship and political harmony with more affecting recollections than I do. _29

9、 absent I. cultivate J. allow K. extremelyHe is kindlyThe other evening at a dancing club a young man introduced me to Mr. and Mrs. F. Scott Fitzgerald, and Scott seemed to have changed a lot from the first time I met him at Princeton, when he was an eager undergraduate trying his best to _31_ himse
10、lf into a great author. He is still trying hard to be a great author. He is at work now on a novel which his wife _32_ me is far better than This Side of Paradise, but like most of our younger novelists he finds it _33_ to produce a certain number of short stories to make the wheels go around. That
11、The Vegetable, his play, did not receive a Manhattan presentation seems to have disappointed rather than discouraged him. He is still _34_ light-hearted.I have always considered him the most brilliant of our younger novelists. Not one of them can tough his style, nor the superb quality of his satire
12、(讽刺). He has yet to put them in a novel with carefulness of conception and _35_ of character.

I have known him, after reading a young fellow-novelists book, to take what must have been hours of time to write him a lengthy, careful _38_.Just what he will write in the future remains _39_. With a firmer reputation than that of the other young people
15、, he yet seems to me to have achieved rather less than Robert Nathan and rather more than Stephen Vincent Benet, Cyril Hume. His coming novel should mean a definite prediction for future work. It is to be hoped that from it will be _40_ the seemingly unavoidable modern girls.III. Reading Comprehensi
