The other night, I had to go to a meeting, which lasted past my daughter’s bedtime. I _36__ home and was brushing my teeth when I __37_, and there on the bathroom mirror was a note in the __38__ of a heart. It said, “ Hi, Mom! I Love You. Laurel.” __39__, I cut a heart out of a piece of paper, and taped a(n) __40__ next to hers, saying, “ I Love You, Too, Laurel. Love, Mom.” Which she __41__ the next morning.
Our family has __42__ that by integrating (融合) writing into our __43__ activities, we become more thoughtful of each other. Meanwhile, our daughter is learning to enjoy writing and becoming a(n) __44__ writer.
While teaching in a primary school, I __45__ how influential parents can be as children learn to write. __46__ when our daughter first began to scribble (乱涂), I became __47__ by her work. I offered praise for her __48__, for I found that scribbling is far more complex and important than I had __49__. It’s obvious that her scribbles, __50__ being lovely art objects, showed a lot about her __51__ of the world of writing.
Gradually, our family began writing a great deal. I sensed that writing helped Laurel learn __52__ to read. As a matter of fact, by __53__ my own child and her friends and by reading professional books, I became more and more __54__ about how writing develops and how __55__ can help chidren become eager writers.

My husband 39 me to attend the concert, promising he would take care of our youngest. I hesitated.
Finally, it 40 me. Aaron was sixteen years old. How many 41 would I have to do something fun with him 42 he went away to college? And how many youth actually 43 their mothers to attend a concert with them that was clearly for teens? The 44 was made. I would not miss this opportunity.
At the concert, I sat with Aaron in the third row, stuffing (填塞) cotton in my ears to block out the 45 , ear-splitting music of the first performer. I stood when the kids stood, clapped when they clapped, and never let anyone know how 46 I was to feel the floor vibrate (震动) beneath my feet. Aaron and his friends were 47 at my enthusiasm.
By the time we left the concert, my ears were ringing, but it quickly passed. 48 did my son's teenage years. 49 he was in college and away from home. I missed him more than I could say. On days when I was especially 50 for his ready smile and his teasing manner, I would think back to the concert we attended and be thankful once again that 
I didn't 51 an opportunity to spend time with my son.
Aaron is now grown and has a family of his own, but we are still very 52 . Some days he calls just to 53 and tell me about his day. I drop everything and 54 the moment, knowing these times too shall 55 .

People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a 21 problem. They often accept the opinion or ideas of other people. Other times they begin to act without 22 ；they try to find a solution by trial and error. 23 .，when all of these methods 24 ，the person with a problem has to start analyzing. There are six 25 in analyzing a problem.
26 the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam's bicycle is broken, and he cannot ride it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle.
Next the person must 27 the problem. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must know why it does not work. For example, he must determine the parts that are wrong.
Now the person must look for 28 that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For example, suppose Sam 29 that his bike does not work because there is some thing wrong with the brakes(刹车). 30 , he can look in his bicycle repair book and read about brakes, 31 his friends at the bike shop, or look at his brakes carefully.
After studying the problem, the person should have 32 suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an example 33 ，his suggestions might be: tighten or loosen the brakes; buy new brakes and change the old ones.
In the end, one 34 seems to be the solution to the problem. Sometimes the __35__ idea comes quite 36 because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a 37 way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees there is a piece of chewing gum（口香糖）stuck to a brake. He 38 finds the solution to his problem ：he must___39___the brake.
Finally the solution is tested .Sam finds that his bicycle 40 perfectly. In short he has solved the problem.

When I smoked with my family, I would feel so 36 and good that nothing else in the world seemed so 37 . I thought that smoking weed (烟草) was okay since many of my family members and people at my school smoked. 38 ever happened to them. 39 I started smoking weed a lot more during lunch and after school. I never thought 40 of it. At that time I just wanted to smoke. Then I began to 41 in school. I would 42 classes, come home late and spend all my money. I would spend 43 8 to 18 dollars a day. I never thought 44 that marijuana (大麻) had a bad effect on those things. Maybe my coming to class high (神智恍惚) was the reason why I was failing or coming home late. As I continued to smoke marijuana, I began to notice that I would always have the strong desire to smoke and that I would get 45 cigarettes if I smoked those, but I don’t. 46 I have learned more about marijuana, I have 47 the amount of marijuana that I use. I don’t want marijuana to be the most important in my life. I’m not smoking every day, and not spending as much money. Since I have 48 on my habit, I am 49 more money. I’m ready to go back to school and do good, so that I can make myself 50 . Everyone is always saying how weed 51 your mind and how it solves problems. I think it only brings more 52 . Marijuana is not good for your body or your brain. I’m not trying to tell you not to smoke, I’m just letting you know that marijuana can be 53 to your health, and 54 it may cause some long term negative (负面的) effects. Help yourself now, before it is too late. I don’t want to lecture anyone, just 55 my experience with you.

Twelve years ago yesterday, my mother gave birth to the most beautiful girl. 31 , we were later given the 32 that this little girl, who was three and a half months old, would only have 14 days on the earth. It’s hard to understand what 
kind of 33 you have when you find out that you’re 34 something that you don’t even know.
As time went on, the number of days kept growing, which gave us 35 . When the doctors said that we could take her home
, that was 36 reality hit. We had no 37 .
I am from a small town with 38 hospitals, but when you don’t have money, you just don’t have it. My mother tried for days to get the money, but nothing 39 each time. A caseworker(社会工作者) was even doing her best. It’s 40 that it almost felt as if we had to 41 a baby from the hospital.
One day the caseworker walked into her boss’s office to 42 again. As she walked out, 43 down yet again, out of nowhere a man walked up to her. He 44 
her a handful of money and said, “Please give this to the lady in 45 , so she can take her daughter home.” She looked down at her hand with tears in her eyes. As she looked back up to thank him, he was 46 . They searched all over that hospital and he was no where to be 47 .
Thanks to the guy that I will 48 know, we could take hom
e that 49 baby girl that was only given 14 days to live, and celebrated her 12th birthday yesterday. I am grateful to this man and feel that his act of 50 should be shared with everyone.
