Grow deep roots
When I was young, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He ____invited us to play in this yard, but he was a very kind person.
Dr. Gibbs had some ___ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants would spoil them. If you watered them, each young tree would grow weaker and weaker. So you had to make things difficult for them and __the weaker trees early.
He talked about how watered trees grew shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in ____of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees.
Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. When I came back home, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were very big and strong. I planted some trees a few years later and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blow in, they ___a lot.
Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I hope that their lives will be ___. But now it’s time to change my thought . I know my children are going to face difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is get roots that reach deep into the brave heart. When the rains fall and the winds blow, we can face them strongly and won't be beaten down.

Of course this was a joke. I saw the cleaning woman every day. She was short and about 60 years old. She had dark hair. But _____ would I know her name? I had never talked with her before. In fact, I had never even thought _____ talking to her. I started to feel rather guilty. Finally, I _____ my paper, without finishing the last question.
Before the class ended, one student asked, “Will the last question count toward _____ grade?” “ Of course,” the teacher said. “ In your life, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve(值得) your attention and care, even if you just _____ and say hello to them.”
I’ve _____ forgotten that lesson. I should get to know all of the people who work and live around me. That was, perhaps, the most ____ lesson of my life. Later, I learned that the cleaning woman’s name was Dorothy.

Recycling is important. In reusing material instead of throwing it away, we can also benefit from it. ____ the Earth is rich in natural materials like water and trees, these materials are not endless.
