Dear Dad,
I was very upset when I received your letter. I knew you 36 not like my results, but I didn’t realize you and Mum were so 37 with me. This has made me 38 very carefully about myself, and now I 39 how silly I have been.
My poor 40 have come from my own 41 . Of course, I want to do my best. I want you and Mum to be proud 42 me, but somehow when I get to school I just can’t keep my 43 on the subject and I stop 44 the teacher. So many other things seem so much more 45 , but I know that I must not 46 the chance you and Mum have given me. If I don’t work very hard 47 the next few months, I am going to get 48 results. So I am going to study hard this summer. And I will show Mum anything 49 I can’t understand so that she can give me help.
I 50 you will allow me to play some basketball. I think I need some exercise, 51 _ I will control the time I 52 on it properly.
If you want me to stop meeting Cindy, I will — but there is 53 serious. We are just good friends, and she often helps me 54 my schoolwork.
Dad, I am really sorry I have made you angry. I’m going to try my best to 55 my study. I promise that I will make you proud of me soon.
Yours,
Jimmy

Three kids to go until my turn to dive (跳水). At the front of the line, a girl in a pink swim suit is 36 and climbs onto the diving board. Will she change her 37, like I did last week, I wonder?

Then I realize it’s my 47. I climb onto the diving board. 48 are diving at the other end of the pool. Everywhere, everyone is 49. Except me.
“What are you 50?” asks the kid after my turn.
I step forward. Then I 51 Travis standing by the pool. “You can do it!” he shouts. That’s what I’ve 52 told him when he was 53 to tie his shoes or write his name.
I take a deep breath and step out into nothing. My body 54, and then I feel the water. I swim in the water for a while before I pull myself to the 55, where my face finds the sun. I DID IT!

My name is Scott and I am 36 years old. I have spent most of my adult life doing an 36 job, so I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me. I saw no point in trying to 37 my life or the lives of the people around me.
Two years ago my wife 38 me to return to school and work toward a career where I would find satisfaction. So I entered Long Beach City College to pursue a 39 in history. Last term I took a political science class. The 40 Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He 41 in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House. When I asked another instructor 42 someone who was so overqualified（资历过高的）worked at a small community college, she 43 told me because he wanted to.
This 44 me, so I asked Dr. Rock himself why he did not pursue a better role in his career. What he told me has changed my 45 forever. He told me that by working at the college he would be able to 46 the kinds of students he believed would make a 47 in the world. He said that 48 the right motivation and support, the students he taught could become the future leaders of our country. He said that he preferred the inner city 49 because the students there showed the 50 promise and cared deeply for their education.
Dr. Rock paid attention to the needs of the community. He taught me how to care and 51 us to take part in our community in any way we 52 .
I thought that I was the 53 one that was affected by his lessons, but at the end of the term I found that the entire class had felt the same 54 that came over me. Dr. Rock taught us how to 55 our country, our community and ourselves.
