13、. Every day I would talk to Gambit about everything on my mind. I knew he wouldnt judge or reveal my secrets. Gambit and I had some of the best conversations, and all he did was listen.This July I received the call that it was time for Gambit to return to complete his formal training. My heart sank.
14、 I had known he would have to go, but it seemed too soon. It felt like my best friend was moving away. I was at a loss what to do.

21、ning the charity helps 9,800 young people in London every day.Ms McConnell says the Magic Breakfast has made a notable impact: “Every morning pupils come in, eat breakfast and socialise with one another. In terms of their academic development, they are sharper as the breakfast gives them the energy
22、to get through the day and to learn.”When asked about the obstacle to their goal, McConnell says, “The big thing we need, quite simply, is cash.

Carmel McConnell: considerate founder of The Magic BreakfastDLuciano Baietti, a retired school, headmaster from Italy, holds the Guinness record for the most univers
27、ity degrees. The 70-year-old currently has 15 bachelors or masters degrees from various universities across Italy, and is getting ready to get his 16th.Getting more than one college degree is not exactly unheard of, but 15 is apparently quite impressive, since its only been done by one man. Although
28、 he spends his days working around his house and garden, like most people his age, at night, Baretti turns into n student again. Every morning, at 3 a. m., when most of the world is sleeping, he wakes up and studies by the light of his desk lamp. He claims studying helps keep his mind active and tha
29、t every degree he has obtained has helped broaden his knowledge of the world around him.“Thanks to books, I feel free. After all, the words share the share root,” he says, referring to the Italian words libro (book) and libero (free). “Me claims to have been inspired by the 19th century French essay
30、ist Louis-Francois Berlin, whose portrait is also on display in his study, alongside his many framed university degrees, and whom he describes as” a man of culture and knowledge.Baietti first made it into the Guinness Book of Records in 2002, after his eighth degree. Then he spent the next 15 years
31、adding seven more bachelors and masters degrees to his collection.“Each time I set myself a new challenge to see how far my body and my brain can go.” At 70-years-old, Baietti thinks he has enough energy for at least one more degree, this time in food science.Probably the most important thing about
32、Baiettis achievement is that he managed to get most of his university degrees while working as headmaster of a secondary school, and volunteering with Italys Red Cross. The secret was always getting up at 3 in the morning to make sure that his thirst (渴求) for knowledge didnt affect his professional
33、activity and his family life. He spent 3 hours studying every day, and that was apparently all he needed to pass his exams and write his thesis (论文).32. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Louis - Francois Berlin is on good terms with Baietti.B. Baietti is the first Italian to
34、 break a Guinness record twice.C. Nobody but Baietti has ever got more than one college degree.D. Challenging himself opens up a broader world to Baietti.33.

35、4. The key to Baiettis success is .A. the support from his familyB. his eagerness for fameC. his nonstop daily learningD. his unusual brain and energy35. What lesson can we learn from the story of Baietti?A. Well begun is half done.B. Never too late to learn.C. Take things as they come.D. Strike the
