To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 24        “long time no see”. This sentence has been 25          used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible place. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 26         , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting(引用) Confucius(孔子). “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world thanks to the popularity of these movies.

My father woke me 31          early in summer morning when I was fourteen and announced: “ Get up. You’re going to with me to cut the grass.”
The idea 32          my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and 33           (excite). From sunup to sundown my father, my young brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, 34           I felt good. I had put in a hard day’s labor and had earned $6.
One day my father found some leaves I’d missed and pull me aside. “Clear away these 35           , ”he said firmly , “ and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress the person you are working 36          .
After two years my father told my brother and me that he felt that we were old enough to do lawns on our 37          . Every Saturday during our last two years of high school, we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while 38          (work) under our father.
Taking care of lawns was not exciting or high-paying, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job is a good job and that whatever I was paid was            39            than I had before.
In every job I’ve held-from dong lawns to 40           dishes-I have learned something that helped me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.
