We were standing at the top of a church tower. My father had __36__ me to this spot in a small  town not far from our home in Rome. I wondered __37__. “Look __38__, Elsa,” Father said. I gathered all my __39__ and looked down. I saw the square in the centre of the village. And I saw the crisscross(十字形) of twisting, turning streets leading to the __40__. “See, my dear,” Father said gently. “There is more than one way to the square. __41__ is like that. If you can’t get to the place where you want to go __42__ one road, try another.” Now I understood why I was there. __43__ that day I had begged my mother to do __44__ about the terrible lunches that were served at school. But she __45__ because she could not believe the lunches were as __46__ as I said. When I __47__ my father for help, he would not help. __48__, he brought me to this high tower to __49__ me a lesson — the value of an open, searching mind. By the time we reached home, I had a __50__. At school the next day, I __51__ poured my lunch soup into a bottle and brought it home. Then I asked our cook to __52__ it to mother at dinner. The plan __53__ perfectly. She swallowed one spoonful and said, “The cook must have gone mad!” Quickly I told what I had done, and mother said firmly that she would take up the matter of lunches at school the next day. In the years that followed I often remembered the lesson father taught me. I began to work as a fashion designer two years ago. I wouldn’t stop working __54__ I tried every possible means to my goal. Father’s wise words always __55__ me that there is more than one way to the square. 小题1: A．taken B．sent C．brought D．left 小题2: A．that B．why C．what D．how 小题3: A．down B．up C．out D．around 小题4: A．strength B．courage C．spirit D．bravery 小题5: A．tower B．church C．square D．village 小题6: A．School B．Society C．Family D．Life 小题7: A．in B．on C．by D．at 小题8: A．Earlier B．Later C．After D．During 小题9: A．her best B．a favor C．something D．everything 小题10: A．defended B．refused C．excused D．agreed 小题11: A．well B．good C．bad D．usual 小题12: A．belonged to B．turned to C．tried to D．led to 小题13: A．Therefore B．So C．Instead D．Anyway 小题14: A．show B．make C．prepare D．give 小题15: A．plan B．question C．problem D．suggestion 小题16: A．angrily B．secretly C．kindly D．politely 小题17: A．cook B．boil C．make D．serve 小题18: A．made B．failed C．worked D．took 小题19: A．if B．once C．since D．until 小题20: A．remind B．approve C．affect D．limit
