Fifteen years spent in the field of education has provided me with many treasured moments. One of the most unforgettable   36 when I was teaching second   37 , 10 years ago.
In May I decided to plan something special for the children; a Mother’s Day tea. We had put our heads together to   38 ideas of how to   39 our mothers. We practiced singing songs, memorized poems and wrote cards. We decided to hold our tea the Friday before Mother’s Day. I was surprised and   40 to learn that every mother was planning to attend. I   41 invited my own mother.
Finally, the big day arrived. Each child   42 up at our classroom door, expecting the arrival of his or her mom.   43 it got closer to starting time, I looked around and my eyes quickly found Jimmy. His mother hadn’t shown up and he was looking   44 .
I took my mother by the hand and walked over to Jimmy. “Jimmy,” I said, “I have a bit of problem here and I was   45 if you could keep my mother   46 while I’m busy.”
My mom and Jimmy sat at a table. Jimmy   47 my mom her treats, presented her with the gift I had made, just as we had   48 the day before. Whenever I looked over, my mother and Jimmy were in deep   49 .
Now 10 years later, I work with students of all ages, educating them about the environment. Last year, I took a senior class on a field trip, and there was Jimmy, I had the students complete an outline of the day’s   50 and an evaluation of our trip. Then I collected the students’ booklets and checked them to see if   51 was completed. When I came   52 Jimmy’s page, he had written “Remember our Mother’s Day tea we had in second grade, Mrs, Marra? I do! Thanks for all you did for me, and thank your mother, too.”
I told him I really enjoyed what he had written. He looked rather embarrassed and   53 his own thanks and walked away. Suddenly he ran bark and gave me a big hug. “Thanks again. No one even knew my mother didn’t   54 it.”
I ended my workday with a hug from a teenage boy who had   55 stopped hugging teachers years ago.

The birthrate in Europe has been in a steady decrease since the 1960s. European countries, realizing crisis is at hand, are providing great encouragement for parents to create more babies in the 21st century.
Affairs Ministry concluded last year that,    11   cash encouragement, some women just don’t want to be    12   holding the baby. “What we know is that it’s good for the    13___ if men and women share the burden of having children,” says Soren Kindlund, family policy adviser at the Swedish ministry.    14   Swedish parents can take their paid leave as they wish, men use a mere 12% of it; 60% of fathers do not take even a(n)    15 _   day off work.
Experts fear that the tendency for women to use most of the parental leave could make employers    16   to give young women the permanent jobs they need to qualify for paid maternity leave (产假). In January, Sweden decided to allow new fathers two months’ paid leave, with a warming: use it or    17   it.
Kindlund admits that men are under   18   to stay at work, even though parental pay comes out of the public purse. “It’s not popular among bosses and perhaps with other men in the workplace,” he says. “But it’s good for the father and for the child if they can    19    a relationship.”
In Norway, a(n)   20   policy has worked wonders. 70% of dads in Norway now take parental leave, and the birthrate of 1.85 children per woman is one of the highest in Europe.

Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can ___1___ swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still    2   away. A mother who has not    3  the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White.
One explanation is the law of over learning, which can be stated as following:    4   we have learned something, additional learning increases the    5   of time we will remember it.
In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and    6   ourselves of poems such as “Twinkle, twinkle, little star” and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We no only learn but __7   .
The law of over learning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination,    8   it may result in a passing grade, is not a    9   way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little over learning,    10   , is usually a good investment toward the future.

2. A. move     B. drive     C. travel     D. ride
