I’m glad it’s Sunday again. I can stay in bed 36 I like, drinking tea and 37 those thick newspapers that are brought 38 the newsboy through the letterbox at 8:30. In this way, I can catch up with all the 39 I haven’t got time to read during my work time.
When I 40 the papers, I then prepare my bath. The Sunday morning bath is 41 of the week. There’s no need to hurry because there’s no bus to 42 and my friends are told not to call me up before noon on Sundays, so there is no danger of 43 by the telephone.
44 spend the afternoon after lunch is always a bit of problem. In summer I can go to the park and sit in a chair 45 boys playing football, while in winter I sit in front of the fire and 46 when reading a book, sometimes I turn on the television and sleep through an old film.
Then there’s the 47 ahead of me. Perhaps I’ll call on some friends or go to the cinema 48 a new film I want to see or to town for a concert. Oh, there are 49 pleasant ways of passing Sunday evenings. The only sad thing is that Monday morning is getting 50 .

The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is 16 there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about 17 .
Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it. 18 a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are 19 tickets that will let them see a 20 game for free.
“Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品) — a television set, for example, at a special low price. 21 all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy 22 . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some 23 TV sets from the factory.
“Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of 24 an invitation, but for a later time.
You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?” 25 you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.

1970 was the World Conservation(保护)Year.

We are changing the earth, the air and the water, and 19 that grows and lives. If we go on like this , we shall destroy ourselves.
What will happen in the future? Perhaps 20 is more important to ask “What must we do now?” The people who will be living in the world tomorrow are 21 young of today. A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save 22 .
Now fifteen million young people in many countries are studying 23 and the country around him. In some countries they spend much time as “conservation volunteers.” They plant trees and help to 24 wild birds and animals.
But everyone, 25 young people, must work to save our world.

As an exchange student, I have been staying in a host family in Beijing for the past five months. The parents are 36 in their mid-30s and the son just turned 5. In exchange for room and board, I teach their son 37 .
Like in many of the other Chinese families, he’s an only child. And though he has 38 plastic trucks and boxes full of crayons, I don’t know 39 he has the time to play. When he’s not in the kindergarten, he’s taking after-school classes. On the weekends, the boy goes to more classes. He has one day off―Sunday.
Compared to his schedule, I feel like my childhood was 40 a waste of time. I learned how to climb trees and draw cartoons. I wasn’t learning Chinese at his age. But he and lots of other children are learning English. Both his parents dream that he will have 41 jobs, higher pay, and bigger houses.
The boy seems to take no interest 42 learning English. He doesn’t need a teacher, but a playmate. He is, 43 , only 5. When I think about my life as a 5-year-old, I know for sure I wasn’t half as 44 as he is.
In the evening, when his parents 45 him to speak with me in English, he gets 46 . He lies on the floors, hides under the table and climbs on the furniture. When he finally stops 47 , and starts talking, it isn’t in English, but it isn’t in Chinese, 48 . He speaks in his own language.
He 49 not be a very good student, but I’m not a great teacher. I just want to be his big brother 50 can speak in gibberish(胡言乱语) with him and help draw trucks, robots or spiders.

There was one hamburger, some French fries and one drink. The little old man carefully cut the hamburger into halves and 18 the French fries in two piles.
