“Daddy, can I have a piece of cake?” my oldest son asked me.
We had just been to the gym and stopped to 31 at the restaurant.
“No,” I replied, “you don’t need a piece of cake.”
My son 32 15 in a few days. He 33 over 6 feet tall. He is very slim and athletic in shape. It was not always that way. My wife wrote a book about the challenge and 34 of getting him fit. He now takes it 35 and looks as he’s never been overweight in his life.
He had a full plate of 36 and tofu. He didn’t need a piece of cake. Besides, everything in the restaurant is quite 37 . Our dinners could have 38 a family of seven at a fast food restaurant. That cake probably cost $5.
He was 39 as he looked at the delicious cakes. I had forgotten that I had walked over to the cake shelf while he was 40 his food from the buffet (自助餐).
I looked at my 41 . There sitting on the edge was a piece of 42 . I looked at it wondering but also knowing how it got there. “We will divide it,” I said.
A few days later my oldest son was with me again. We stopped at a 43 . He ordered a sandwich. I then 44 two sandwiches. He immediately barked, “Can I have two?” He wanted exactly what Daddy had.
Your kids are very likely to put on their plates, exactly what you have on yours, and I think this applies to more than food. Keep your 45 plate with only what you want your kinds to have.

That holiday morning I didn’t have to attend school. Usually, on holidays, Mother 36 me to sleep in. And I would certainly take full advantage of it. On this particular morning, ___37___,I felt like getting up early.
I stood by my window overlooking the ___38___, having nothing better to do. But as it turned out, I was soon to learn about something ___39___ in life.
As I watched several people go by, get into their cars and go off, I ___40___ an old man on a bicycle with a bucket on its ___41___ and a basket rags and bottles on its back-carriage. He ___42___ from one car to another, washing and cleaning them. From the water on the ground, it seemed that he had already ___43___ washing and cleaning about a dozen or more cars. He must have begun to work quite early in the morning.
Several thoughts ___44___my mind as I watched him work. He wasn’t well-dressed. He had on a pair of shorts and a(n) ___45___ T-shirt. The bicycle he rode was not by any means the kind modern ___46___would want to be seen riding on. But he seemed___47___ with life. There he was, working hard at his small business, ___48___ at passers-by and stopping to chat now and then ___49___ elderly men and women on their way to the market nearby.
There was a noticeable touch of___50___ in the way he seemed to be doing things— ___51___the windscreen (挡风玻璃), then standing back to admire it; scrubbing (擦净) the wheels and ___52___, standing back to see what they look like after the scrub.
It was a ___53___ to learn, I felt. At no age need one have to beg for a ___54___if one has good health and is willing to work hard. For a while I felt ___55__ of myself. Young as I am—just sixteen, and there was this old man who must have been usefully engaged perhaps before the sun appeared above the horizon.

I am now a good student in my class．But you don’t know that 16 I started senior English
in the beginning，I found ___17_____ difficult and quite different from what we had learned in junior school．Now I still remember a teacher who taught me at that time. ___18__ teacher is a good teacher because she always tries her best to be the one _19___ classes are more active and lively with some stories and examples.

I like my English teacher very much．
Now I have made 25 great progress in my English study that I am more interested in learning it than before．

A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting( attracting) apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, __36_ a bar of chocolate if given the choice, 37, as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the __38__ he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
He stood on tiptoe, _39_as high as he could, but even at his tallest __40__he was unable to touch it. He began to __41__ up and down, as high as he could, at the _42 of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple. Still it remained out of _43_.
Not giving up, he thought, if only he had something to 44 on. His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to 45 the things inside, like his lunch box, pencil box, pencil case, and Gameboy. Looking 46 , he hoped he might find an old box, a rock, or, 47 luck, even a ladder, but it was a tidy neighbourhood and there was nothing he could use.
He had tried everything he could think to do. 48 seeing any other choices, he gave up and started to walk 49 . At first, he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his 50 , and how he really wanted that apple. The more he 51 like this, the more unhappy he became.
52 , the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t get what he wanted. He started to say to himself, “ This isn’t 53 . I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling sad as well. There is 54 more I can do to get the apple— that is unchangeable —but we are supposed to be able to 55 our feelings. If that is the case, what can I do to feel better.
