Choose the best answer and complete the passage. (完形填空):

Some years ago when I was in my first year in college, I heard Salome Bey sing for the first time. The moment was exciting. Salome's ___________ filled the room and brought the theater to life. I was so moved that decided to write an article about her.

I phoned Salome Bey, telling her I was from Essence magazine, and that I wanted to meet her to talk about her career. She agreed and told me to come to her studio next Tuesday. When I hung up, I was scared out of my mind. I knew I was lying. I was not a writer at all and hadn't even written a grocery list.

I interviewed Salome Bey the next Tuesday. I sat there ___________, taking notes and asking questions that all began with, "Can you tell me..." l soon realized that __________Salome Bey was one thing, but writing a story for a national magazine was just impossible. The pressure was almost unbearable. I struggled for days with draft after draft. Finally I put my manuscript (手稿) into large envelope and dropped it into a mailbox.

It didn't take long. My manuscript __________. How stupid of me! I thought. How could I compete in a world of professional writers? Knowing I couldn't face the rejection (拒绝) letter, threw the unopened envelope into a drawer.

Five years later, I was moving to California. While leaving my apartment, I came across the unopened envelope. This time I opened it and read the editor's letter in disbelief:

Dear Ms Profit.

I travelled to Canada one summer with students from my French class. It was my first trip outside the United States. It was exciting because I could finally speak the foreign language I was learning and I could hear native speakers (说母语的人).

Canada is an excellent place to practice French for two reasons.

First, most people in the French-speaking part of Canada can speak both French and English. I can use French when I’m ready. There wouldn’t be much pressure. If I have something very important to communicate, they can understand me if I speak English.

Second, people there like it when you try to speak French, even if you only speak a little. They hold French in higher esteem (认为……更高贵) than English.

Interestingly enough, although I wanted to communicate in my newly learnt language, I soon found I could hardly use any of the words I have learnt when I tried to use them. We learnt the accent (口音) used in France, but the accent used in Canada is different from what we learnt. It sounded a little strange to me. And many words are completely different.

Although I didn’t get many opportunities (机会) to practice French in Canada, I’m still thankful for this experience.

1.Where does the writer come from?

A. France.　　 B. Canada.

C. The USA.　　 D. The UK.

2.Why did the writer think the summer trip was exciting?

A. Because travelling was his favorite hobby.

B. Because he could stay with his friends for a long time.

C. Because he could speak French and hear native speakers.

D. Because it was the first time for him to go on a summer trip.

3.There wouldn’t be much pressure for the writer to speak French in Canada because ______.

A. he liked talking to people in French

B. French-speaking people there are friendly

C. his friends would help him to communicate

D. people there could speak both English and French

4.The writer talked about ______ difference(s) between French used in France and Canada in the passage.

A. one　　 B. two　　 C. three　　 D. four

5.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The writer spoke French very well in Canada.

B. The writer was thankful for his trip to Canada.

C. Canada wasn’t a good place to practice French.
