My baby Rob, the youngest of my three sons, was starting kindergarten. I had already 36 this twice before, but this time it was more difficult.
What if he was scared? What if he missed me? I decided to do the grown-up thing and not tell him how I 37. I assured him that 38 would be just fine. 
The night 39 school started, Rob and I sat down. I hugged him and asked if he had any questions about what he could expect tomorrow ... “I’m 40 excited, Mommy, but I’m a little 41 about what I should do 42 I miss you,” he said sheepishly (胆怯地).
I had just the 43 for him.
I 44 my hand and showed him a new, shiny penny. “This is a 45 magic penny. If you’re scared or if you 46 me, just put your hand in your pocket and 47 this lucky penny. 48 you hold it and 49 me, I will know and be thinking about you , too.”
It was absolutely 50. I’d be thinking about him every minute.
The next day as he 51 his schoolroom, he looked back at me. My baby looked so sure of himself. I smiled back at him and hoped that he didn’t see the 52 in my eyes.
The hours moved slowly but finally it was time to pick him 53. “I had a great day!” he 54. “There were a few times I was worried, but I held on to my lucky penny and that made me feel better.”
After about a week I found it on his dresser.  I guessed he was secure enough in his new situation that he didn’t 55 it anymore.
I, on the other hand, kept it in my pocket for a few more days.

People joke that the number of pet dogs in Beijing is more than the urban population. It is an exaggeration to some but Beijingers seem to  21      their pets more than most.
Over the past 15 years, the number of pet dogs in the city has  22  dramatically, right after the local government lifted a ban. Now Beijing is home to more than 1 million  23      according to recent statistics.
Day or night, if you walk into any residential area, it will be easy to spot someone  24     their dog. Often, there is no lead attached to the puppy, which makes it more like a  25      companion rather than an animal. They  26     stroll (漫步) at the same leisurely, carefree pace.
If they meet their neighbors with dogs too, then two  27    emerge(出现)at once: One is for people to engage in gossip, the other is for dogs to career madly around the playground. That is one of the most  28    things I have seen in the city.
But some Beijingers spoil their dogs too much.  29    during winter, when they dress their pets up as living toys with colorful vests and even pairs of homemade  30     . I pity these dogs deeply, and realize how  civilized they have become.

I have said enough to you about the fact that no two native speakers of English speak it alike, but perhaps you are clever enough to ask me whether I myself speak it in the same way.
I must    21     at once that I do not. Nobody does. I am at present speaking to an audience of many thousands of gramophonists(学话者), many of    22     are trying hard to follow my words, syllable by syllable. If I were to speak to you as carelessly as I speak to my wife at home, this record would be    23    ; and if I were to speak to my wife at home as carefully as I am speaking to you, she would think that I was going mad.
As a public speaker I have to take care that every word I say is heard clearly at the far    24    of large halls containing thousands of people. “But at home, when I have to consider only my wife sitting    25     six feet of me at breakfast, I take so little pains with my speech that very often,    26     giving me the expected answer, she says, “Don’t mumble, and don’t turn you head away when you speak. I can’t hear a word you are saying.” And she also is a little careless. Sometimes I have to say “what” two or three times during our meal. And she    27     me of growing deafer and deafer, though she does not say so, because, as I am now over seventy, it might be true.
We all have company manners. If you were to    28     a strange family and to listen through the keyhole before going in---not that I would suggest for a moment that you are capable of doing such a very unladylike or ungentlemanlike thing; but still, if, in your enthusiasm for studying languages you could bring yourself to do it just for a few seconds to hear how a family speak to one another when there is    29     listening to them, and then walk into the room and hear how very    30     they speak in your presence, the change would surprise you. Even when our home manners are as good as our company manners---and of course they ought to be better --- they are always different; and the difference is greater in speech than in anything else.
21.  A. admit                     B. accept               C. refuse               D. deny
22.  A. them                B. who                  C. whom               D. us

24.  A. side                 B. end                   C. distance             D. length
25.   A. within               B. at                            C. from                 D. by
