It was lunchtime and I walked into a small branch office on the West Side. I had come to   36 a checking account. The only officer on   37 was a fortyish black man, standing   38 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I think I was especially   39 of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a   40 in a West Side bank.
The boy continued to   41 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and   42 an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I   43 any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking.
“I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not   44 to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently.
Suddenly I noticed the account had a series of small deposits and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you   45 that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked   46 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very   47 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting   48 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come in here and   49 .” The boy looked destroyed.   50 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank.
The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got   51 .” I couldn’t believe what this idiot was saying. “We were   52 this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The other guy was   53 him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was   54 too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) 55 today."
“You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?”
“Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?”

School children are now constantly asked by their parents and teachers to study harder and harder. And the competition 36    the students themselves is growing in most schools in China. In my opinion, the fierce（激烈的） 37 in school    38  more harm than good.
　　Visiting a German city, I was   39 to be present at a parent-teacher meeting at a school.   40 were told at the meeting that their children's school grades were held to be a personal information   41 by the law, and that the school would not disclose（透露）the students' marks, 42 would the school report them to the parents. It is their view that a   43 school should encourage children to learn 44 without pressure. A student's intelligence（智力）and ability will be 45 later by competition in society.
　　In China, ranking students according to their examination has been   46 as a means of encouraging students to study harder.
　　A friend told me about a parent-teacher meeting she 47 with her daughter who was in the second grade.
　　At the meeting, a teacher read aloud   48 students in the class and their marks for different   49 . Good students came at the top of the list and poor   50   at the bottom. And in front of everybody at the meeting, the teacher gave warning   51 those poor students and their parents.
　　From this comparison, I   52 that teachers and school leaders in China ought to learn   53 more about children's psychology（心理学）and show their students more   54 . Such competition among students is unhealthy and should not be 55 .

Recently I was invited to a friend’s house for supper—and had a meal I have never had before.
All the friends invited were a little 　36　. It’s not that Ben is unsociable, or a bad cook, but it’s just that he never　37　more than he has to. So how come he was inviting us round for a meal?

Ben returned with four bowls of hot soup. “It’s a　43　of carrots, potatoes and tomatoes, ”said Ben. The next　44　was also a little strange　45　we didn’t quite know what it was again. “It’s just another mixture of vegetables. ”

　51　that we had all finished the food, Ben decided to tell the truth. He had read recently that supermarkets usually　52　away 5 percent of their food every day. So Ben decided to look inside his local supermarket bins. There he found food that was slightly out of　53　, boxes of thrown-away vegetables and fruit.
So Ben had　54　 provided a decent meal for his friends, and made us aware of the fact that there are many poor people who need the food, but the amount of food thrown away is enough to 　55　millions of people.

Of course, as cultures come   50   contact with each other, the music and dance of one society may be accepted by other societies, or the different styles may be combined to   51   a new kind of music or dance. Some Latin American music, for example, has taken   52   from Indian cultures and mixed them with those from European and African cultures.   53 , popular music from England and the US can be heard in countries   54   the world,   55   it has had an influence on musical tastes, especially among young people.

My neighbor Jennifer is blind, but you’d never know it. She makes such good use of her other 36 , including her "sixth sense", that she hardly gives the impression that she has   37 anything. Jennifer looks after her children much like the rest of us, 38 that she doesn’t push too hard on them, 39 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. She knows when to clean the house, and she moves around so fast that   40 often don't realize she's blind.
I 41 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, Kayla, went to play there. When Kayla came home, she was very   42 about her day. She told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. But she was   43 excited about her finger-painting project.
“Mom, guess what?” said Kayla, all smiles. “I learned how to   44 colors today! Blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! And Jennifer 45   with us”. To my great 46 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! Then Kayla continued, “Jennifer told me my   47 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment（成就感）. She really _48   what I was doing!” Kayla said she had never known how good finger paints felt   49 Jennifer showed her how to paint without looking at her paper.
I realized Kayla didn't know that Jennifer was blind. It had just never 50 in conversation. When I told my daughter that Jennifer was blind, she was 51 for a moment. At first, she didn't believe me. “But Mommy, Jennifer knew exactly what was in my picture!” Kayla 52 . And I knew my child was 53   because Jennifer had listened to Kayla describe her art work. Jennifer had also heard Kayla's 54 in her work.
We were silent for a minute. Then Kayla said slowly, “You know, Mommy, Jennifer really did ‘see’ my picture. She just used my   55 .”
Indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.
