“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a typical _36__ of Chinglish.
Obviously it is a word-by-word literal（字面上的）translation of the Chinese greetings with a 37 English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American 38 .I was too delighted to believe her. Her words could not 39 me at all. So I did a 40 on Google. Com.. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages 41 “Long time no see”. This sentence has been 42 used in emails, letters, newspapers, moves, or any other possible place. Though it is 43 informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. 44 , if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the 45 will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.
Nobody knows the 46 of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully 47 a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan liked to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom 48 quoting (引用) Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon “Long time on see” became a 49 phrase in America 50 the popularity of these movies.
Some people 51 America to a huge melting pot (熔炉). All kinds of culture are 52 in the pot together, and they 53 the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic group in the United States, is also 54 some changes to be 55 in the mixed pot.

During my second year of college I was looking around for a place to live. One Sunday after church the pastor(牧师) told me to stay in his daughter’s room because his daughter was studying abroad for one year.
To be 21 , I really didn’t want to stay with “the pastor’s family”. He told me how much the 22 would be — a very low figure that 23 one home-cooked meal a day. I thought about the 24 and decided to move in.
At the end of the term I had planned to find 25 living place, since the daughter was to 26 home. To my delight, they 27 that I share a room with their son. I seemed to have been adopted into their 28 —her people. I 29 accepted the offer.
As I emptied the daughter’s bedroom, I thought it might be 30 to have a little sister to look after. But when I later met my new sister, I 31 that she was more independent than I first 32 .
We finally feel in love, 33 , and have looked after each other for many years. There have been times that life turned out more 34 than either of us could have known. But we have always been able to go 35 largely because we knew that we are deeply 36 .
It isn’t about marriage …it’s about 37 . It’s about mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers and special friends who are as 38 as family. It’s about anybody who can say, “I’ll be 39 —you can count on me. I’ll try to look after you and sometimes I will need you to look after me.”
Is there somebody you can depend on? And are others counting on you? We travel the path of life best when there is 40 to look after, and when someone is looking after us.

I got lots of interesting experiences in a free school. At first I couldn’t believe it. There were no 41 in rows or loud-sounding bells, nor did anyone have to go to 42 . Although we lived “in”, 43 made us go to bed at a certain time; there was no “ lights out”.
The 44 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night. Only the new people stayed up or 45 class. The new ones always went wild 46 , but his wildness never lasted long. The freedom took some getting used to. Our teachers treated us like _47 ; never did we have to 48_ “ stand up”, “ sit down”, “ speak out”. I don’t 49 one student who didn’t try his best.
The subjects were the same as those in the ___50_____ school, but what a difference in the method! For example, in botany (植物学) we had 51__ classes in the spring or fall, but instead we planted two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden. Then in winter we each studied a few 52 things about what we had grown. In math the students built three different sizes of storerooms---small ones 53 , but usable. They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom. They really had a 54 time, too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints(蓝图;设计图), figuring out the angles and so on. I didn’t take 55__ . But I could do the basic things with numbers. That’s 56 .
57_ I think I am a 58 person for having gone to the school. I can read and write as well as anyone else of my age, and I think better. That’s probably a real big ___59 between the free school and the regular school--- the amount of 60 .
