A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness. His legs were so hurt that he couldn’t move. What was the 31 was he found himself unable to ask for help — his mobile phone went out of 32 as a result of exhausted (用尽的)battery. Nothing could be done but 33 in cold wilderness. It was 8 hours later that day broke, and then the 34 of the rescue.
It is almost 35 that he could stand the horror in the darkness for so long. Even more surprising was his 36 : "First of all I checked up my 37 conditions and found myself not in mortal （致命的）danger. As there was no 38 to call for help ,I leaned back in my seat trying my best to keep the wound from 39 .In this way I dozed （打盹）off ."
His story put an end to my regret for the 40 of an exploration adventure that happened last year. A group of young men 41 to explore a mountain cave and got lost . 42 to find a way out in the dark cave they were frightened and ran anxiously without a sense of 43 .Finally they fell dead in fear and exhaustion
（筋疲力尽）.According to the 44 people that found them, the place where they got lost was only about 10 meters away from the 45 of the cave. If they stayed on the spot when they lost their way and tried to 46 themselves, they would probably sense a faint light glimmering （闪烁）not far away .
Don’t you think that you can compare it with 47 itself? When you meet with obstacles （障碍）in life and work ,you are lost in darkness. 48 you it’s unclear yet and you need not put up struggle 49 . It seems to be a negative （消极的）attitude, 50 a person who can afford to do so must have foresight as well as a great courage in the first place .

I was eight years old then. Looking __36__ I remember the time in a baseball field passing the team that we had just __37__ . We shook their hands and said, "Good game!"
It is __38__ to do that when you win! When you lose, you have a tendency(倾向) to slap (拍) the hand — instead of shaking it — and __39__ the ground instead of the eyes. This is not only true for an eight-year-old; it is true for adults, too.
A few years ago, in a softball league, we lost 15 games! And we thought it was __40__ . But during the " Good game" handshake after each __41__, I looked each player in the eyes and shook their hands. I couldn't look my opponents (对手) in the eyes and congratulate them on a good __42__ when I was eight. Somehow I took the loss as a __43__ on my self-worth and felt my self-confidence had been slapped; __44_- I did what most eight-year-olds do and I slapped the opponents' hands, not giving them the satisfaction of a shake. I was wrong to do this. I'm happy today as a(n) __45__ that I have learned this __46__ : There is something to be said for losing well.
__47__ it is a baseball game or an important examination, you can __48__ a lot about a person by now they deal with defeat. The person who deals with defeat as an __49__ blow is not allowing the event to define (定义) him, while someone who cannot __50__ defeat is allowing the event to __51__ his self-worth. In my opinion, when you __52__ in something— though it may be __53__ — look at your opponents in the eyes, and shake their hands in a __54__ way as you say, "Good game!" __55__ to allow the event to define your life. You might find yourself winning the next game.

CHILDREN AND GAMES
As we all know, games play a very important role in the growth of children. Children should grow along with playing games; 31 , through playing, they can not only acquire knowledge, but also cultivate their abilities to get along with others.
However, most children are 32 ( face ) with a completely different situation. Most parents fear that games will prevent children from increasing new knowledge and 33 the children will fail in the future examinations. So, instead of 34 ( let ) the children 35 find and learn naturally from their surroundings, they force their children to take part in various kinds of classes, learning English, playing 36 piano or practising drawing, etc. What’s more, some parents put 37 the children’s toys which are very useful in developing children’s imagination and practical abilities.
38 is a piece of good advice to those parents: 39 you want to expect your child to be able to accomplish something, you must first of all develop his ability to adapt to the new surroundings. That cram education can lead to nothing 40 a failure in the children’s growth.

For almost 18 years, my mom has given time from her life to devote her care to my growth. She has ashed 36 clothes. She’s planned doctors’ appointments 37 all parts of the body, cut hair, taken icures, bought presents, 38 vacations and basically kept a small boy’s life 39 smoothly.
When I was 12, I got into 40 arguments with my older and wiser parents. The 41 never led a any achievement for me, but I still took part. Many times strong feeling of anger caused tears 42 to in my eyes by the end of the quarrel with them. 43 , I’d return to my room and stay for as long as my parents allowed. Then I’d 44 a knock and hardly manage a weak, “Come in.” My mom, acting as a peacemaker, 45 slowly enter and sit next to me on the bed. I’d again try to 46 what I had said was true, 47 this time less angrily. T
hen mom calmly, strictly and lovingly showed to me her voice of 48 . After that she’d hug me and I’d stop crying; all would be 49 in my family again.
Hugs will 50 be her trademark（标志）: warm hugs for goodnights, good-byes and a thousand other such situations. “You’re never too old to 51 your mother.” I’ve heard those eight words since I came to the world. They ring true. For some reason, those words possess the unbelievable 52 to reduce anxiety, cool an angry head, 53 fears and put wrong things right.
Perhaps my mother, now worthy of the title “Mom” can be an example to mothers everywhere. Being a mother is not so 54 . Any female has the ability to become one. The challenge isn’t in becoming a “mother”, but instead , a “mom”. Mine does that quite 55 .

Dear Professor Liu Kai,
I want to thank you for offering me such useful advice during my research. I have completed my article about advertisements, and I’m quite satisfied 58 it. It has just been published on our school website. I never knew that advertisements were so interesting! The information I found will really help me to educate others. I hope that after they 59 my article, my schoolmates will understand that PSAs 60 intended to educate us about public welfare issues, and 61 commercial ads are meant to promote products or services. Before our talk, I did not think very much about how an advertiser might be trying to trick customers 62 buying a 63 or a service. Now I think I will be much smarter about what things to buy. Even if there are lots of exciting images and persuasive language. I will remember to think about the things I buy. I will also pay a 64 more attention to the nationwide public service ad campaigns because now I know how helpful they can be. I will encourage my friends 65 pay attention to them as well.
Thank you again for helping me find so much useful information!
Yours faithfully
Qian Lili
