Whenever my kids have a party at school, I am the mom who always signs up to bring the juice boxes. It’s not because I’m 36 or that I don’t care if my kids have a good party. I am just not good at making homemade bread into holiday-themed shapes like other mothers. However, I’m happy to try, even though it’ll take me a long time to do it.
People say that housewives should have the 37 to make delicious meals, keep their houses clean, and   38 every minute of their child’s life. Their words used to upset me a lot. I felt that I should also be able to do those things as a housewife. So when I couldn’t make the turkey-shaped cookies, I   39 feeling like a failure as a mom.
After many   40 attempts at baking, and many afternoons spent crying over my inabilities as a mother, I finally accepted the   41 that my lot(命运) in life is to be the juice box mom. I worked hard to be the   42 one in the elementary school. And after one of my daughter’s class parties, it   43 . Her teacher stopped me as I was leaving and said,＂Thank you so much for always bringing 44 drinks. Sometimes parents forget that other children will also   45 class parties, and they end up being left out because we don’t have enough drinks for everyone.＂
I just accepted her appreciation, rather than telling her that I brought extra drinks because I could   46 remember how many kids were in the class. But her appreciation taught me an important lesson: I’m not a failure as a mom.
Not everyone is cut out to be a(n)   47 mom. I believe it’s okay to be the juice box mom. I may not bake cookies and decorate them beautifully, but I provided something to drink. And I think that’s just as important.

It's the seaside birds that deserve at least part of the blame for getting Nick Burchill blacklisted at the Fairmont Empress Hotel in Victoria, Canada.

Burchill was 21 at the hotel on business and planning to 22 some friends in the area. They had asked him to 23 some pepperoni (辣香肠) from back east. So he 24 a suitcase full of pepperoni. As he was 25 that it would be too warm, he 26 it out on the table near an open window. He thought his pepperoni was 27 and well chilled (冷却) and he 28 .

That's when things went 29 ."I remember walking down the long 30 and opening the door to my room to find an entire flock of seagulls," Burchill said in a recent letter of 31 to the 4-star hotel. "The seagulls immediately went 32 . They rushed to the window, 30 or 40 birds all trying to 33 at the same time, and pepperoni-everywhere. The curtains were falling down, the lamps were falling down, It was a real 34 .

Older and wiser now, Burchill chalked up the incident to youthful indiscretion (莽撞).

"I have 35 and I admit responsibility of my 36 ," he said in the letter. "I come to you, 37 , to apologize for the-damage I had 38 caused and to ask you to 39 my lifetime ban from the hotel."

His letter 40 . Banned from the hotel since 2001.Burchill is now welcome to come back, the Fairmont said.

Swap, Don't shop!

You keep hearing about recycling, right? But it doesn't end with bottles, cans, and paper. Clothing takes a huge amount of natural resources（资源）to make, and buying loads of new clothing（or throwing out old clothing）is not healthy for the environment. So what to do with all those perfectly-good-but-you're-maybe-a-little-sick-of-them clothes piled on your bedroom floor? 16 . It's the best way to get rid of your used clothes, score clothes from your friends, and have a party all at the same time.

A successful swap depends on the selection of clothes, the organization of the event, and, obviously, how much fun is had. It's really easy to do! Here are a few pointers.

●Invite 5-10 people so you have a nice selection. 17 , and there may not be enough things to choose from; more than that, and it becomes uncontrollable.

● 18 . They should also prepare plenty of reusable bags to carry their "new" clothes home.

●Put different types of clothing on different surfaces in the room. 19 . Place a few mirrors around your room so people can see how things look when they try them on. One of the ground rules of the swap should be that everyone must try on the clothes before they take them-things always look different when you put them on.

●Set a starting time. Maybe you say "go," or turn on a certain song, or whatever. 20 . And don't forget to put out some cookies and fruits. Remember, it's a party!

A．	Less people than that
B．	Hold a clothing swap
C．	If two people are competing
D．	Just keep music playing throughout
E．	Donate whatever clothes are left over
F．	Have everyone put their clothes in the right spots
G．	Tell everyone to bring clean clothes in good condition

In the 1960s，Douglas McGregor，one of the key thinkers in the art of management，developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y．Theory X is the idea that people instinctively （51）　 work and will do anything to avoid it．Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work．

In any case，despite so much evidence to the （52）　　，many managers still agree to Theory X．They believe，（53）　　，that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively，or that decisions must be imposed from （54）　　 without consultation．This，of course，makes for authoritarian （专制的） managers．

Different cultures have different ways of （55）　　 people．Unlike authoritarian management，some cultures，particularly in Asia，are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to （56）　　 to this process．This is management by the collective opinion．Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things，which are based on general （57）　　．Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional （58）　　 managers cannot．

A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative，to make decisions on their own without（59）　managers first．This empowerment （授权） has been part of the trend towards downsizing：（60）　　 the number of management layers in companies．After de﹣layering in this way，a company may be （61）　　 with just a top level of senior managers，front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public．Empowerment takes the idea of delegation （委托） much further than has （62）　　been the case．Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to （63）　　 that the overall business plan is being followed，and that operations become more profitable under the new organization，rather than less．

Another trend is off﹣site or （64）　　 management，where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses．Project managers evaluate the （65）　　 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects，rather than the amount of time they spend on them．
