How many of us can really ever thank our mothers for what they do for us? I am now 40 years old, so it's been a lot of years that I've had my mom's loving and direction behind me pushing me gently when I need it.
When I was ill, mom would take care of me . When I had a terrible dream, she would never me for stealing into her bed. When I graduated from college, she took in me as I walked across that stage. When life would get me down, she would tell me that ,it's always dark the down ,She's always been my greatest keeping-me up when life tried to defeat me. She never told me that anything was impossible or that I set my goals too high. With a gentle guiding hand she got me back on the right:, if I faltered (摇晃) .
A thank you will never be enough for the kindness and love she has shown to us over the years. My mom _ more than flowers, candy or other gifts. There isn't a gift in the world that could ever my thanks for everything she has done for me over the years.

I do a lot of management training each year for the Circle K Company. Among the 21 we discuss in our classes is the 22 of quality employees（雇员）
“What has caused you to stay 23 enough to become a manager?" I asked. After a while a new manager took the 24 and said slowly, "it was a baseball glove.”
Cynthia said she used to 25 a Circle K clerk job as an interim (时临的.) one while she looked for something 26 . On her second day behind the counter, she received a (an) 27 from her nine-year-old son, Jessie. He 28 a baseball glove for the little League. She 29 that as a single mother, money was 30 , and her first check would have to go for paying 31.
When Cynthia arrived for work the next morning, Partircia, the store manager asked her to come to her small office and handed her a box. “I overheard you 32 to your son yesterday,” she said, “and I know that it is 33 to explain things to kids. This is a baseball glove for Jessie. I know you have to pay bills 34 you can buy gloves. You know we can’t 35 good people like you as 36 as we would like to; but we do 37 and I want you to know how 38 you are to us.”
The thoughtfulness, empathy (同情) and love of the store manager show vividly that people 39 more how much a( n) 40 cares than how much he pays.

Mobile phones are everywhere in big cities. It seems that 16 can survive without one. Mobile phones are a great 17 to stay connected with friends and family. 18 , it is important to remember that there are certain times 19 you should not be using your phone, especially as a student, during school.
20 you are in class, you should not be sending your friends text messages 21 taking phone calls. Your classmates and teacher should not have to deal with this rude 22 . Aren’t you at school to learn?
In the United States, students would never be allowed to 23 their mobile phones during class. If you were to send or 24 a text message you would probably be kicked 25 class. It is very disturbing to hear a lot of tones and ringing during 26. There are many more rules for mobile phone use in America and it is to 27 respect for those around you.
As a teacher in China, I have to 28 students using mobile phones every day. I have told my class to 29 their phones, but many students do not listen. The 30 to be connected all the time seems to be more 31 than the desire to learn.
It’s easy to understand 32 it is so tempting(诱惑人的) to have your phone on during class. It seems so easy just to send a short text message; it’s not hurting anyone, is it? But you may actually be hurting 33 when you do this. Your teacher knows when you use your phone and may give you a 34 grade. Sending a text message also takes your attention away from what’s going on in class, you may 35 something important.
