Dear Kate,
I’m very 36 that you are coming to our school so soon. 37 you arrive, let me introduce 38 you what our school life is like.
Our school is quite famous 39 its long history. It was 40 in the early 1920s. It is a good place 41 we can prepare ourselves well for the future. We have many wonderful teachers who are always ready to 42 help. 43 we pay a lot of attention to how well we do in lessons, 44 high scores is not the only reason to study. The teachers encourage us to try out new ideas and ask questions. 45 their help we have developed all kinds of interests in both Arts and Science. Students can choose to 46 any school clubs they are 47 in. We can also choose the subjects that we want to study. Last term I selected American Literature, because I wanted to learn about famous American writers. This term I chose to attend music classes because my father bought me a piano 48 a birthday present.
49 , I was elected monitor of my class, 50 it can be 51 to be a monitor, 52 I have to do a lot of work and attend many meetings. 53 , being a monitor has taught me a lot, such as caring for others and taking responsibilities and so on. When my class was given the title of “Model Class”, I was 54 than ever before. So being a monitor plays an important part in my school life. I’m very pleased with my work.
I love my school and hope that you will have a pleasant experience here too. I am looking forward to 55 you soon.

I take the firm position that parents do not owe their children a college education. If they can __1 it, they can certainly send them to the best universities. But they must not feel guilty if they can’t. If the children really want to go, they’ll find a 2 out. There are plenty of loans（货款）and scholarships for the bright and 3 ones who can’t afford to pay.
When children grow up and want to get married, their parents do not owe them a down payment on a house. They do not have the 4 to baby-sit their grandchildren. If they want to do it,it must be considered a(n) 5 not an obligation（责任，义务）.
Do parents owe their children anything? Yes,they owe them a great deal.
One of their obligations is to give their children personal 6 .A child who is constantly made to feel stupid and unworthy, constantly 7 to brighter brothers, sisters, or cousins will become so _8_ , so afraid of failing that he（or she）won’t try at all .Of course they should be __9__ corrected when they do wrong, but it’s often better to let children learn their mistakes by themselves in time.All our parents should do is to trust them, respect them, tolerate（宽容）them and give them chances to try and fail.They must learn to stand 10 .When criticisms（批评）are really needed,they should be 11 with praises,with a smile and a kiss.That is the way children learn.
Parents owe their children a set of solid values around which to build their lives.This means teaching them to 12 the rights and opinions of others;it means being respectful to elders,to teachers,and to the law.The best way to teach such values is by 13 .A child who is lied to will lie.A child who sees no laughter and no love in the home will have 14 laughing and loving.
No child asks to be 15 .If you bring a life into the world,you owe the child something.

“Where is the bus? Why is it always late?” I asked myself. I was going to be late 36 the manager wasn’t going to be pleased. “Thank God, here it is!” The bus came round the corner and I got on. Ten minutes later I was walking into the 37 where I work. “Twenty-five past nine. I 38 the manager doesn’t notice.” But I was not 39.
“Smith!” shouted the manager. “Late again. What’s your 40 this time?” “I am afraid the bus was late, Mr. Brown.” “41 up earlier tomorrow! Anyway, go to your place at the counter(柜台). We’ll be opening in a few minutes.”
My first customer was a pretty girl wearing a red dress. 42 her was a young man of about 23. He seemed very 43 , and every few seconds he looked towards the main entrance. The girl drew some money and 44 about opening an account. I gave her necessary 45 and she went out. 46 I noticed a tall man by the door, carrying something 47 with brown paper. Turning to my next customer, I was frightened to see a gun sticking out of his coat. The next moment a loud noise 48 my ears. Everything went black. I was falling… It seemed to be a long time 49 I opened my eyes and I found myself in bed! 50 shaking from the memory of this terrible dream, I got dressed and ran out of the house. 51 the bus wasn’t on time, and I got to the bank at 9:25.
“Smith!” the manager cried out in a voice like thunder. “ 52 of your excuses! Start work at once!” To my 53 the first customer was a girl 54 a red dress and behind her stood a man carrying something wrapped in brown paper. The 55 ! Sometimes life is full of coincidences (巧合)!

Last Tuesday I took two daughters, aged five and seven, to town by car. It began to rain 36 , so I decided I would leave the children in the car 37 I rushed into a shop. I warned the girls not to 38 anything and told them I would be back within a few minutes. Then I locked all the doors and left 39 happily out of the window.
I returned to the car in less than five minutes but the girls had 40 ! I could hardly believe my eyes. The car doors were 41 locked, the windows tightly shut and on the back seat were only two coats. Being 42 , I ran to the corner of the street 43 there was no sign of them. I rushed up to an old lady nearby and asked 44 _she had seen two small girls but she said “No”.
Feeling quite sick with fear, I sat on the driver’s seat, and went to stop trembling (发抖). Suddenly, I heard a merry laugh 45 me. I got out of the car, ran round to open the boot (车尾行李箱) and inside were two very red-faced and 46 children. They had obviously pulled out the back seat, climbed behind it and then been unable to push the seat forward again. 47 tears in my eyes, I leaned forward and pulled their ears.
