I decided not to bring in home any other things with the words Made in China on 
a dark Monday，two days after last Christmas，though I still keep some in my house．
At work my boss，Mr. White，points out that I am 36 myself if I think I have been 37 Chinese products，in spite of the obvious facts in daily life．
“Chinese 38 are everywhere，”he says，“You can’t avoid those，no matter how hard you
try It is impossible．”
That is the 39 ，which I have been considering for months，since I have kept the American car with the Chinese 40 in it．This week I was 41 again of the difficulty of avoiding China when I bought earrings from a local artist．I was feeling pleased with myself 42 I got home and noticed the flee gift box made in China．
My boss continues，“You know what you are doing? You are 43 your dependence on China，not 44 it，”he says，“You are just cheating yourself．”
The boss，a frequent complainer，doesn’t slow down when I 45 to stop him to 46
that I am writing a 47 of stories On the Boycott for the business magazine．
“Maybe you can 48 it year without Chinese products， 49 sooner or later you will even 50 Chinese dishes，”the nice boss says，“There is no getting around it”
I 51 at him as he turns to leave，quite 52 ．
“Thanks for your support，”I say to his 53 .
The year is nearly half over．I can 54 without them． 55 ，it is a little inconvenient to live without a DVD player，a DV camera or a printer made in China．But a better question might be：How hard could it be to live without Made in China with the whole family ?

To my family and friends,
I have just started my tour of the area badly affected by the war. Everything is going really well, so no 16 . The land is beautiful but unfortunately it has a lot of 17 too. Let me 18 .
Last week, 120 school girls were 19 by a gas leak（泄漏）. Most have recovered but six are still in 20 . Even though the local government speaks about the 21 of education, most of the kids here only attend school for four hours a day if they are lucky. They are so excited and 22 to learn, but then have to 23 things like being attacked. Most of these kids are 24 and can’t afford a pencil or even paper. So I’m planning a trip to several schools to talk about 25 and to give these kids some of the 26 they need. That is where all of you can help. If you can 27 whatever school supplies you have available, that would be 28 appreciated.
I know how busy you are so thank you for taking the 29 to do this and I will post pictures of this 30 after I return.
Thank you again.

Once a man came to a wise man’s house and said, “I have many bad habits. Which one of them should I give up first?” The wise man said, “Never tell lies and always speak the truth.” The man 36 to do so and went home.
At night, the man was about to go out to steal. Before 37 , he 38 for a moment about the promise he made to the wise man. “If he asks me where I have been, what shall I say?

I lived in Dallas, Texas nearly all my life with my mom, dad and older sister. We were 41 to respect others, value education, and get all that we could out of life. My parents always say, “ 42 hard and the world is yours.” They are never without a 43 word of advice or a bit of encouragement when life gets tough.
My parents always 44 me to go to college. However, when I 45 at 16 years old that I’d rather get married to a man than go to college, they 46 stopped telling me they loved me and I could anything I wanted to. 47 , they persuaded me. I graduated from high school and currently 48 the University of Oklahoma studying medicine. I want to make the 49 a better place to live in.
Every time I call home to tell them about a 50 I received in Chemistry Lab or Microeconomics or whichever 51 it is that I’m working hardest for at the moment, they tell me how 52 of me they are. I know there are college kids out there that have no one to call home when they an “A” on a project and I feel incredibly 53 to have my parents.
Don’t get me wrong: We’ve had our share of 54 . I was the angry teenager and they were the awful 55 that wouldn’t let me stay out all night or let me get my tongue pierced（扎洞）.But somehow, we 56 to work through those issues. They never 57 loving in me or believing in me.
I 58 everything I am to my parents. Without their 59 love and encouragement, I wouldn’t believe I can change the world. My parents taught me to always 60 for what I believe in. So I’m working toward something really great and can only hope I continue to make them proud.
