I used to live in a separate room. I loved living 36 . But one day it all changed when my brother Mike asked to 37 my room. At first, my parents said “no” to him, but at last my mother 38 . I cried and begged my parents not to do this, 39 it didn’t work.
As soon as Mike entered my room, my room began to become 40 . To my anger, he often left his unwashed clothes everywhere!
One evening, I was doing my homework on my computer while Mike was listening to music. Later, I left my 41 to get some water. A shock was 42 me when I returned. He had used my computer to play games. I had 43 to save the homework. Sadly, he closed the program 44 saving it--- all my effort had disappeared! I shouted at him at the top of my 45 . He cried a lot as my mother 46 him. My mother also asked him to leave my room 47 .
Then I did my homework once again. At 11:00PM, I 48 it. I was about to turn off my computer when I saw the 49 of my brother that he had put on my table. I looked at his lovely face and remembered how he was crying when my mom punished him. I really felt 50 for him.
I went to him. He was 51 in my parents’ bed. I kissed his forehead. He woke up, 52 and said, “I’m sorry, I won’t bring you 53 again.”
I was so 54 and I hugged him, saying, “From now on, my room is not only 55 . It is ours!”

I was successful at my job. I worked very hard, but it 36 me and my family a fabulous (极好的) lifestyle. I’d worked for the same company for twenty years and had worked my way up to department director. 37 , one afternoon last May, I was called to the office, and it was 38 explained to me that they were letting me go. I just sat there 39 they talked on and all I could think was, “I’ve 40 .” I’d been so well respected, but 41 I was of no value.
For six weeks, I was in a very 42 place. I wandered around my house like a zombie (僵尸). I could 43 things needed doing, but would not do anything. My beliefs in looking forward and seeing the positive (积极的) in everything 44 me.
Then, in late June, my youngest son’s football team made the city cup final. The year before, he’d been very sad when I 45 the same final, so he was 46 when I told him I’d go. Not only did they win, but the look on his face as he saw me 47 him on was unbelievable, From then on, I spent the summer enjoying my some and their passions (激情). I attended match after match and performances of my elder son’s band — I 48 went to another city to watch him play. These moments were so 49 . My life had been so much devoted to 50 for so long, and I felt 51 that my sons were happy to welcome me into their world.
52 , being unemployed gave me back a sense of purpose --- I was someone’s mum! I felt a sense of being 53 Again. Now I feel more positive about my professional 54 and I’m getting on better with my family than I ever have. Losing my job made me realize just how 55 it is to achieve real balance in life.

A Shelter for the Homeless
Last summer I was a volunteer (志愿者) at a shelter for the homeless, a place for homeless people to sleep at night. I wasn’t working that summer and was 36 only two classes in summer school, so I had some 37 time.
Three nights a week, I 38 in the kitchen of the shelter along with four other volunteers. We planned and 39 for 45 people hot meals 40 vegetables, chicken, fish and fruit. The homeless people 41 this good food because many of them usually didn’t eat well.
I 42 this volunteer work, making 43 with the four volunteers in the kitchen. One was a very nice elderly housewife, one a movie actor, another a young teacher, and the other a college student, 44 me.
I talked to a lot of the homeless people at the shelter. Their life stories 45 me with sympathy (同情). Some of them had 46 with alcohol (酒) or drugs while others only had bad 47 . One woman worked for almost 30 years for a small company, and 48 she lost her job. She looked for a 49 job,but couldn’t find one, for she was too 50 . She could do nothing but sell her furniture — sofas, chairs, and tables 51 she could pay for her food.The woman 52 on job hunting, but she 53 couldn’t find one.She had no money for her 54 and had to sleep in her car. Then she had to sell her car. Alone, 55 , and homeless, she finally came to the shelter.

I loved and worshipped my grandparents and I really looked __18__ to these travels. On one particular __ 19__ ，I was about 10 years old. I was rolling around in the backseat.

At that age, I’d take any excuse to make estimates(估计) and do minor __22__．At any rate, I decided to do the math for my __23__.

When I was satisfied that I’d come up with a reasonable number, I poked my head into the __25__ of the car, tapped my grandmother __26__ the shoulder, and proudly proclaimed, “At two minutes per puff, you've taken nine years off your __27__!” Because the ad said, every puff of a cigarette takes some number of minutes __28__ smoker’s life．

It is interesting to observe the way in which children so often react against their parents’ ideas, while at the same time 36 their parent’s characteristics. This is to say, the children grow up to have different 37 from their parents, yet to have 38 personalities. There is a 39 going on in the toy world at present over 40 children should be encouraged to have war toys. I do not see any 41 in forbidding them when I think of the 42 of my friend Henry.
Henry is the son of strict parents who were against war. He was never 43 toy soldiers or guns as a 44.
Henry 45 and went into the army, becoming a first-class soldier and 46 all sorts of honors in the army. In that way he became the 47 of what his parents might have 48 of their son. And yet there is a gentleness about Henry which shows a 49 personality. His sympathies(同情) which I can see must have come from his 50. 51 doing things differently from our parents, a lot of the 52 gets passed on.
Parents have to 53 their children what they believe to be right; but it is not much your ideas that the children 54 your example. Perhaps the best way to teach one’s child gentleness is not to forbid toy guns, but to be 55 in one’s own everyday life.

Yesterday was my stepmother’s birthday. I haven’t been home for a long time, so I wanted to stop by the house to 36 her on this special day. I have been 37
on a low income so I was afraid that I couldn’t afford the long 38 . Gas is so expensive nowadays! 39 , I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I 40 at a shopping mall and found a present. It was the 41 gift and I knew she would love it. 42 when I got to the cashier, my card was 43 !
I didn’t have enough money to 44 the gift!
So I thought about the 45 for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something 46 , but I knew there was 47 else in the store she would have liked as much. So, I transferred some money from my saving account and was able to buy the gift. It took a 48 part of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
It turned out that she loved the gift and I 49 that even though I had spent almost all my money, my stepmother 50 the best. I was glad I gave her the best I could.
Before I 51 my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret handshake, he gave me some money. I hadn’t 52 anything to him about my financial 53 , but I guessed my dad just knew. When I got to the car, I saw the 54 he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift! It shows that doing the right thing always comes with great 55 .

When we read books we seem to enter a new world. This new world can be similar to the one we are living in, or it can be very 1 . Some stories are told 2 they were true. Real people who live in a normal world do real things; in other words, the stories are about people just like us doing what we do. Other stories, such as the Harry Potter books, are not 3 . They are characters and creatures that are very different from us and do things that would be 4 for us.
But there is more to books and writing than this. If we think about it, even realistic writing is only 5 . How can we tell the difference between what is real and what is not real? For example, when we read about Harry Potter, we do seem to learn something about the real world. And when Harry studies magic at Hogwarts, he also learns more about his real life than 6 . Reading, like writing, is an action. It is a way of 7 . When we read or write something, we do much more than simply look at words on a page. We use our 8 --- which is real --- and our imagination ---which is real in a different way --- to make the words 9 in our minds.
Both realism and fantasy use the imagination and the “magic” of reading and writing to make us think. When we read 10 realistic, we have to imagine that the people we are reading about are just like us, even though we know that we are real and they are not. It sounds 11 , but it works. When we read, we fill in missing information and 12 about the causes and effects of what a character does. We help the writer by pretending that what we read is like real life. In a way, we are writing the book, too.
Most of us probably don’t think about what is going on in our 13 when we are reading. We 14 a book and lose ourselves in a good story, eager to find out what will happen next. Knowing how we feel 15 we read can help us become better readers, and it will help us discover more about the real magic of books.

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line. 71 Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 72
If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so. 73 If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
74 Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else. 75 At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.
A．Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face. B．Everyone was new to the network once. C．The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated. D．When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.
Terry was a middle-aged businessman. He was 36 in career and often complained that he had been fooled (欺骗) by others. One day he told his wife he was 37 disappointed with the city that he had to 38.
So his family moved to another city. It was Saturday 39. When Terry and his wife were busily putting their things in their new home, the lights suddenly 40 and they were forced to stop work. Terry was sorry to have 41 to bring along some candles. Just then he heard light 42 on his door.
“Who is it?” he wondered. Terry knew 43 else in the new city, and this was the moment he especially hated to be 44. He opened the door impatiently (不耐烦地). At the door was a little 45, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 46? I’m your neighbor.” “No,” answered Terry angrily. He shut the door 47.
After a while the door was knocked again. He opened it and 48 the same little girl outside. But this time she was 49 two candles radiating (放光) red light. She said, “My grandma told me the 50 neighbor downstairs might need candles. She sent me here to51 you these.”
At that moment Terry suddenly realized what 52 his failure in life. It was his indifference (冷漠) and 53 to other people. The person who had fooled him in life was actually nobody else 54 himself, for his eyes had been covered by his 55 mind.

I saw the old man, with his untidy clothes and messy hair, as he dashed between the rows of the department store. He was trying to be ordinary but he was hard not to __21 .
He 22 the saleswoman and with a slight 23 , possibly German, asked where the women’s shoes were sold. “Fourth floor.” She responded in a voice I could hear 10 miles away. “Pardon? Where did you say they were?” he asked again, apparently 24 . Clearly the old man was somewhat 25 “Fourth floor, sir,” the friendly saleswoman replied patiently, this time so 26 that customers turned to see what was causing the 27 .
I continued watching as the man thanked the saleswoman and 28 for what I assumed was the fourth floor. But rather than walk to the 29 or the lift, he dashed behind a shelf, took out a notebook and started writing hurriedly, with an almost mad 30 on his face. Then he went straight up to another saleswoman and asked where the women’s shoes were sold. Again he asked her to 31 the answer and once more he walked away and took down some notes.
He did this three more times before a department store 32 , thinking him mad, removed him from the store. But rather than be 33 , the old man departed with a huge smile on his face. Although the incident was 34 , it was not until a year later, during my first year of university, that I gave it any further 35 . I walked into my language classroom and met my professor. It was that very same man.

Last year was the first year when I taught the fifth grade. Recently, I’ve been 1 by a “graduated ”student for the first time. I was really surprised when he walked into my home.
He hasn’t physically changed much since 2 my class last year and if I had had to guess who would come to visit me first. I wouldn’t have thought of him. Carlos was a student who had a hard time sitting 3 in the beginning of last year. He would often 4 to go to the bathroom, and he’d talk or look like he was falling asleep because of little sleep. He often needed 5 in doing anything that other students could do well on their own.
I found out that the reason for his behavior in my classroom was that he had been 6 nightmares(噩梦)about his border-crossing experience. He was 7 that the immigration office would take him or his parents to prison or back to their 8 . And here he was in my class trying to learn a(n) 9 language, which he had never touched before.
When he was in my class, one thing that stood out was that he had a(n) 10 time speaking English. But when he walked in my room yesterday, all of that was missing. In walked a calm, 11 boy who spoke and understood English far better than when he left me in June. He even 12 to speak to my class in the sixth grade in English. He told me he remembered doing sign language and the video I made to help him 13 his English.
His visit 14 a lot to me not only because he has made great progress, but also because it reminded me what it means to be a teacher ----- to have a lasting influence on 15 .

Tracy Wong is a well-known Chinese-American writer. But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”
48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”
“Can I? I don’t think I can,” Tracy said with a laugh. “But I do have 51 when things come to me 52 .” Once, she was wondering how to complete a 53 set in ancient (古代的) China. 54 the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery man, with a copy of a book on Chinese 55 . It came without her having 56 it.
Though she has published 10 books, Tracy has remained 57 by her fame. She lives in the same 58 she lived 27 years ago — although in a more comfortable home. There’s more room for 59 in her life----and it wasn’t just 60 .
