Ella Fant was a middle-aged lady who lived with her only son John in a small house. She 26 John very much. In her 27 he couldn't do anything 28 . Every morning she would give him breakfast 29 bed and bring him the papers to 30 . It isn't really true that he was too 31 to work-in fact he had tried a few 32 . First of all he was a window-cleaner and in his first week he managed to 33 at least six windows. Then he 34 a bus conductor and on his second 35 a passenger stole his bag with all the fare (车费) collected. He 36 lost his job as a postman 37 he sent off all the letters when he should have taken them to people's houses. It seemed that there was 38 suitable work for him. So he 39 to join the army. Mrs. Fant was so 40 about this that she told the 41 to all her neighbours. “My John is going to be a soldier,” she said， “He is going to be the best soldier there 42 was, I can tell you!”
Then the great day came 43 he was to march past the palace in the parade (接受检阅的队伍). His 44 mother travelled to the city early in the morning to be sure of getting a good 45 in the crowd.
The parade was full of sound and colour. But when John and his 46 came in sight some of the people watching 47 laughing at the one who couldn't keep pace with the others as they marched along.
But Ella Fant , who was filled with 48 , shouted at the top of her voice, “Look at 49 ! They're all out of 50 except my John! Isn't he the best!”

Mary will ever forget the first time she saw him. He suddenly appeared in class one day ,1(wear) sun glasses . He walked in as if he2(buy) the school ,And the word quickly got around that he was from New York City.
For some reason he sat beside Mary. Mary felt3(please), because there were many empty seats in the room .But she quickly realized that it wasn't her, it was probably the fact that she sat in4last row.
5he thought he could escape attention by sitting at the back, he was wrong. It might have made it a little6(hard) for everybody because it meant they had to turn around, but that didn't stop the kids in the class. Of course whenever they turn to look at him, they had to look at Mary ,7made her feel like a star .
"Do you need those glasses for medical reasons ?" the teacher asked .The new boy shook his head ."Then I'd appreciate it if you didn't wear them in class .I like to look at your eyes when I'm speaking to you." The new boy looked at the teacher8a few seconds and all the other students wondered9the boy would do .Then he took10off , gave a big smile and said "That is cool."
We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 ,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel to 11 when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is 12 . Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to 13 other. However, some people argue that rules may be 14 , having observed that rules change all the time , and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones ----so who is to 15 what is right ?

Nick was not the kind of boy I had expected to spend my summer with. I was hoping to have a 21 the summer before my busy senior year, but my mother asked me to do her a 22 . One of her colleagues needed a full-time 23 . “You planned to volunteer at the local hospital, why not volunteer to 24 Nick instead?” Then she told me that this six-year-old boy was not a 25 child.
Nick was a lovely little boy who suffered from many disorders. Normal day-care centres would not 26 him. As a baby, he had serious ear infections which left him with equilibrium (平衡) problems. He couldn’t 27 or run properly. I was hesitating (犹豫) 28 I was to take the job when my mother 29 , “Don’t you want to be a nurse in the future? I doubt if you even have the 30 .”
Then I told her I was 31 for the job.
The day started at 7:00 a.m. Nick was my wake-up call! With so much energy and very little 32 , he was quite a mix.
In the park, when he saw all the other children play on the jungle gym and swings (秋千)， the boy’s face 33 up — how he wished he belonged to the group of his age! You would think it would be 34 to get a child to go down a slide (滑梯). Believe me, it wasn’t! It took time, a lot of time. But with patience and support, Nick took one step up the slide each day. We worked together to face his 35 and gradually he got closer to taking the slide of his life.
Halfway through the summer, he 36 it to the top of the slide. With my arms 37 him tightly, we flew down the slide! I waited for his reaction. After realizing that he was safe and sound, he gave me a big 38 and asked, “May I go down again, alone?” I had never been happier in my life when I saw this little child climb the ladder and enjoy what other children 39 for granted. This 40 child taught me that being a nurse means respect, kindness and patience.

All children in the United States have to receive an education, but not all children go to school. A number of parents 36 not to send their children to school. Such children are known 37 “home-schoolers”. Some parents prefer teaching their children at home 38 they do not believe schools teach the correct religious (宗教的) 39 ; others believe they can provide a better educational 40 for their children by doing so. 41 , results show home-schooled children often do better than 42 on national tests in reading and math.
David teaches his three children at home. He 43 that his children learn very differently from children in school. Learning starts with the children’s 44 and questions. For example, when there is snowfall on a winter day, it may 45 a discussion about climate, snow removal 46 , Alaska, etc. Or a spring evening when the family is out 47 the stars is a good time to ask questions about the sky. If the Brazilian rain forests are on TV, it 48 be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate, how deserts are 49 and how the polar ice caps 50 ocean levels.
Home schooling is often more interesting than 51 schools, but critics (批评家) say home-schoolers might be uncomfortable 52 with other people in adult life. Critics also say that most parents are not 53 to teach their children. However, most parents don’t have the time or the 54 to teach their children at home, so schools will continue to be 55 most children get their formal education.

RESOURCES BELONG TO THE SOCIETY
When I arrived in Hamburg Germany, my colleague who worked there arranged a welcome party for me in a 36 . We noticed a few customers including several old ladies, were having their meal. When a dish is 37 , the waiter would distribute the food for them, and they would 38 every bit of the food on their plates.
As I was hungry, my local colleague 39 much food for me. Since there were other things to do, we did not 40 much time dining. When we planned to leave, there was still about one third of 41 food left. When we were leaving the restaurant, we 42 someone calling us. When the old ladies spoke to us in English, we understood that they were 43 about us wasting so much food.
“We 44 for our food; it is none of your 45 how much food we left behind”, my colleague told the old ladies. They got angry, and one of them 46 made a call to someone. After a while, an officer in 47 arrived. Upon knowing what had happened, he issued us a 50-euro 48 . The officer told us in a stern（严厉的）voice: “order 49 you can consume. Money is yours, 50 the resources belong to the society. You have no 51 for wasting them.” Our face turned red. We all agreed with him in our 52 . My colleague took out a 50-euro note and repeatedly 53 to the officer.
My colleague copied the fine ticket and gave a copy to each of us as a souvenir. We all 54 it to remind us that we should never be 55 .
