Dear son,

When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 42 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 43 this.”
Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 45 money to pay for his petrol.

Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s 53 to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case some kid will get a 55 out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have 36 how difficult it is to write a 37 children's book. Either the author has aimed too 38. , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, 39 the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are 40 very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the 41 who hears the story and the adult who 42 it. Unfortunately, there are in fact 43 books like this, 44 the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not 45 to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as 46 of children's literature were in fact written for 47 . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most 48 of this.
Children, left for themselves, often 49 the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or 50 and he will more willingly choose the books 51 in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics (连环画), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents 52 .
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into 53 our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so 54 that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the 55 books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise（妥协） over that bedtime story.

Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices go up, up, and up. “How high can they go ?” is the common question that 46 in the city is asking. But right now, few people seem to have the answer. “ 47 interest rates（利率） stay at about 5 percent, there’s no way of knowing,”, said a local Guangzhou economist.
“It’s crazy,” said Li Hua, who is 48 a house near the river. “In 1993, I bought my first place, a two-bedroom apartment in Haizhu district, for 100,000 yuan. My friends thought that I was overpaying and said it just wasn’t worth it. Five years later , I had to move to Shenzhen. I 49 it for 160,000 yuan, which was nice profit. Last year, while 50 friends here, I saw in the local paper that exact same 51 was for sale for 450,000 yuan!”
It is a seller’s 52 . Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price just to have a chance. Li Hua says the situation is really diffcult. “Whether you decide to buy or decide not to buy, you still feel like you made the 53 decision. If you buy, you feel like you overpaid. If you don’t buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great 54 .”
Everyone says prices must fall, but everyone hopes it will happen the day after they sell their house. 55 government officials have no idea what the future will bring. “All we can say is that these things change,” said the state director of housing. “What goes up must come down.”
46. A. everybody B. somebody C. nobody D. anybody
