That’s why in 1934, Germany was the 36 place to be a Jew. When Hitler’s teenage gangs    37    his village, the little    38    boy, Heinz, was just 11 years old. Every day Heinz’s parents taught their    39    how important it was to learn    40   . When the Nazi gangs terrorized their village on the streets daily, Heinz’s parents knew that just one moment of losing control of their 41 against their rulers could    42    the death of the family. So Heinz learned to stay out of their    43   , sometimes crossing the street or taking a 44 road home. But one day, young Heinz was finally    45    by one of Hitler’s bullies(暴徒). For the first time, Heinz was 46 to talk to a Nazi youth. But by staying calm and    47    choosing his words, Heinz surprised himself when he    48    his way out of trouble and 49 this bully not to hurt him    50    to let him go. That day, Heinz discovered his survival skill of talking and    51    with others. It was a major 52 point that changed his life---and later changed the world. After a few years, Heinz’s family escaped from Germany and moved to America. But Heinz never forgot how to talk with people and help bring    53    between enemies. You see, that 11-year-old boy who had    54    his first peace settlement with a Nazi bully, later became one of the greatest ambassadors of peace in the world. You’ve probably heard of him- not as Heinz- but by his American name: Henry Kissinger, the 55 US Secretary of State. 36．A．usual        B．wrong      C．appealing  D．ideal 37．A．seized       B．destroyed  C．abandoned       D．burnt 38．A．American B．Italian      C．Jewish      D．British 39．A．students    B．friends      C．sons  D．children 40．A．self-control      B．self-protection  C．self-respect      D．self-defense 41．A．anxiety     B．emotions   C．anger D．terror 42．A．show B．cost   C．claim D．mean 43．A．road  B．way   C．route D．path 44．A．rough       B．difficult    C．different   D．short 45．A．surrounded      B．cornered   C．beaten      D．chased 46．A．called       B．urged          C．forced   D．asked 47．A．carefully   B．specially   C．repeatedly D．particularly 48．A．pushed     B．felt    C．talked       D．fought 49．A．allowed    B．convinced C．forbade     D．promised 50．A．however   B．though      C．but    D．and 51．A．reasoning  B．quarrelling      C．debating   D．discussing 52．A．rising       B．starting    C．falling      D．turning 53．A．peace       B．friendship C．trust  D．harmony 54．A．confirmed B．acknowledged  C．negotiated       D．managed 55．A．latter B．present     C．formal      D．Former
