My dad was a fisherman. He worked hard and stayed out until he caught enough 36 to feed the family nearly every day. When the weather was bad he would 37 me to school. An old truck was used in his fishing business. When we got to the school, he would give me a big 38 on the face and tell me to be a good 39 . It was so embarrassing for me. I was 12 years old, and my dad would still kiss me goodbye!
I remember the day when I decided I was too 40 for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school and came to a stop, he had his usual big smile. He started to lean (倾斜) toward me, but I put my hand up and 41 , “No, Dad.” It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way. He had a surprised look on his face for a long time, and his 42 started to be wet. He turned and looked out of the windshield (挡风玻璃). “You’re 43 ,” he said.“You are a big boy—a man. I won’t kiss you any more.”
It wasn’t long after that when my dad went out to 44 and never came back. It was a day when most of the fishermen stayed at home except Dad. He had a big family to feed
How I wish I had been a man then. If I had been a man, I would 45 have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.

Paul: Hey, Bill. Are you (1)f to see a movie tonight?
Bill: Sorry, no. I'll have a class and a lot of homework to do.
Paul: Oh, that's too bad. I'm so glad I take classes online. I can decide (2)w , where and how to complete my lessons.
Bill: Sounds good, but I really enjoy going to class (3)b it's a great way to get to know other people. It also helps me learn how to work well with others. If I don't understand something,I'm always able to ask about it in person.
Paul: In online classes, I have to (4)t completely before asking questions. That teaches me how to solve problems on my own.
Bill: Do you ever (5)m technical (技术上的) problems in your online classes? If you can't open a file (文件), how can you continue your learning?
Paul: It's not a big problem. I can email the teacher or call up another student for help.
Bill: But that takes too much time. You may fall behind on your studies.
Paul: You may (6)a fall behind.What will happen if you get sick? It isn't a (7)p roblem for online classes.

With the development of modern technology, digital devices(数码设备) have been seen everywhere. People often check what is (1)h in the world on the Internet, keep in touch with friends through emails, or even start to read e﹣books. (2)H , many people still prefer paper books to e﹣books because they think that brains work (3)b when reading paper books.
Now, some scientists have come up with some (4)d ideas. They believe how brains work is not greatly affected by the way people read, but depends on the following factors(因素). They (5)i the type and content of reading materials, the (6)p of reading. etc. When people read for entertainment, like news about star families or (7)f stories, reading paper books or e﹣books makes no difference. When people read to gain (8)k about science, reading paper books is more helpful. Brains need longer to deal with harder problems. Usually, taking notes by (9)h on paper books takes longer than typing(打字) notes out on digital devices. So it's (10)e for you to remember key points when you read paper books. Next time, when you read e﹣books about science, just remember to slow down and give your brain more time.
Most adults find it hard to remember the things happened while they were children. Now scientists have found exactly when these memories (1)d .
A new study has found that most three﹣year﹣old children can remember a lot of what happened to them a year (2)e ,and these memories are still clear while they are 5 and 6, but by the time they are over 7, these memories become weaker (3)r .
Most children by the age of 8 or 9 can only remember 35% of their (4)e from under the age of 3 according to the new studies.
The scientists say this is because at around this age the way we form(形成) memories begins to change. They say that before the age of 7 children do not have a (5)s of time and place in their memories. In older children, however, the early things they can remember become more adult﹣like in the way they are formed. Children also have a far faster speed of (6)f than adults. The discoveries also help to explain why children can often have clear memories of what they have done, (7)b then forget them just several years later.
The children were organized to the laboratory for the first time at the age of 3 and discussed 6 impressed(印象深刻的) things from their past, such as the first relaxing trip with your family,the first (8)d accident you met, and the first day of school. The children then returned for a second (9)s between the ages of 5 and 9 to discuss the same things. The scientists found that between the ages of 5 and 7,the amount(量) of memories that the children could remember (10)r between 63%﹣72%. However, between the ages of 8 to 9, the amount of memories that the children could remember fell to between 35%﹣﹣36%.

My family and I walked around the amusement park,getting snacks and going on rides.I loved almost all types of rides.The (1)o rides that I didn't like were rides that turn you upside﹣down.But my elder sister,Laura,loved them.When we finally were near a ride that went upside﹣down,she started asking me to go with her.I told her I didn't like those rides,but she kept asking (2)b she really didn't want to go alone.I was feeling sympathy (同情)for her,so I stalled thinking that maybe I (3)s go with her,even though I really don't like to go upside﹣down.I turned to my parents for (4)h .
" Matt,you are allowed to stand up for yourself.If something makes you feel really uncomfortable,you can tell people (5)n .It's OK to tell Laura that you love her, (6)b that you can't go with her because going upside﹣down makes you uncomfortable.Be strong but kind when you tell her,so that she will (7)k you're serious. " Mom said.
"I don't want to make Laura mad or sad," I replied to Mom, "and I don't want her to think I'm being mean. "
"There's a (8)d between being aggressive (有攻击性的)and being assertive(坚决主张的).Saying 'no' doesn't mean you are willing to hurt her feelings.You're just listening to your own feelings to make sure you stay safe. " Mom answered. "The
(9)s goes for Laura.If you ask her to arm wrestle (角力)and she doesn't feel comfortable,she's allowed to say 'no',too.We are all allowed to stand up for ourselves. "
"Thanks,Mom."I said.I told Laura that I love her and like to do things with her,but that the upside﹣down rides make me uncomfortable because they scare me.She was sad,but went on the ride by(10)h and was really happy when it was over.We had a great rest of the day at the amusement park!

One m(6) of solving the problem was a "hybrid" car(混合动力车),one that ran partly on petrol and partly on electricity.Hybrid cars became popular in the 2000s when petrol prices went up and the prices of hybrid cars went d(7) .

Whatever methods used,every effort is made to achieve the purpose of giving visitors a sense of space in the garden.
