Forty-three years seems like a long time to remember a mere acquaintance(相识). I have forgotten the       of an old lady who was on my paper route when I was a twelve-year-old boy. Yet it seems like just yesterday that she taught me a lesson in       .
One afternoon, a friend and I were       rocks onto the roof of the old lady’s house to observe how the rocks       to missiles(导弹；发射物) as they rolled to the roof’s edge and shot out into the yard like comets(彗星)falling from the sky. I found myself a perfectly smooth        and threw it out. The stone was too smooth, however, it          from my hand as I let it go and headed straight for a small       on the old lady’s back porch(门廊). We knew we were in         and ran away as fast as we could.
I was too        of getting caught that first night. However, a few days later. I was sure that I hadn’t been discovered, I started to feel           for her misfortune. She still greeted me with a smile         but I was no longer to feel        in her presence.
I made up my mind that I would          my paper delivery money, and in three weeks I had seven dollars. I put the money in an envelope with a note           that I was sorry for breaking her window and hoped that the seven dollars would             the cost for repairing it.
I waited until it was dark, then put the envelope through the letter slot in her door.
The next day, I           the old lady her paper and was able to          the warm smile that I was receiving from her. She thanked me for the paper and said, “Here, I have something for you.” It was a bag of cookies. I thanked her and ate the cookies as I continued my way.
After several cookies, I          an envelope and pulled it out. When I opened the envelope, I was very         . Inside was the seven dollars and a short note that said, “I’m           of you.”

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children.And they must have 1 how difficult it is to write a 2 children's book.Either the author has aimed too 3 , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 4 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are 5 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 6 who hears the story and the adult who 7 it.Unfortunately, there are in fact 8 books like this, 9 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 10 to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as 11 of children's literature were in fact written for 12 .“Alice's Adventure in Wonderland”is perhaps the most 13 of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 14 the worst possible interest in literature.Just leave a child in bookshop o 15 and he will 16 willingly choose the books written in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics, full of the stories and jokes which are the 17 of teachers and right-thinking parents.
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to brainwash childrensintos 18 our taste in literature.After all children and adults are so 19 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 20 books.So I suppose we'll just have to compromise over that bedtime story.
