I don't know what's your opinion about mountains.
It was only in the eighteenth century 
people in Europe began to 
that mountains were beautiful. 
that time, mountains were feared by the people 
on the plain, especially by the city people, 
they were wild and 
places 
one was easily 
or killed by terrible animals.
Slowly, however, 
people 
comfortably in the towns began to grow 
them. They began to feel 
looking for wild excitement, as their attention turned from the man-made town to the 
country; and to places 
dangerous and wild. So high mountains began to be 
for a holiday.
Then, mountain-climbing began to grow popular 
To some people, there is something 
about getting to the 
of a high mountain: a struggle against nature is finer than a battle 
other human beings. And after a difficult climb, what a 
reward it is to look down on everything within sight.

The boy gave me a __16__ look, and then stood up. As he left he shouted out, "This woman's mad!" Everyone __17__ . That really made me feel silly, but it was __18__ when I finished my coffee and got ready to leave. My face went red-as red as his hair when I

A wise man once said, “A man who makes no mistakes usually does not make anything.” It took me a long time to gather the 36 to admit that I had been making mistakes since my earliest days. 37 , many of the things that I had learned were 38 .
As a child from a poor family, I learned that when you had money, you were 39 to spend it on whatever brought you happiness 40 . I didn’t understand that even though putting money in the bank would not 41 me that quick joy, it could provide a sense of 42 — I still had that money.
One problem is that I never had an opportunity to 43 any money of my own until late in my teen years. All of my gift money 44 to my parents for “saving”, which actually 45 to be an emergency fund(风险基金) for things such as food.
On rare 46 , some relatives would give me some money, but they would 47 in my ear not to tell my mother and to spend it quickly on something fun. Their 48 was good — they wanted to bring joy to the life of a “ 49 ”boy, but it didn’t teach me any 50 skills. Soon I would go back to having no money.
Another thing is that I believed that 51 help from others was bad. My parents were strict, and in many ways I 52 their philosophy (处事原则), but their personal beliefs prevented them from ever accepting any help. 53 we often had to live on a single part-time income, we never asked 54 anything. In this way, I was led to believe that accepting a helping hand, even in 55 of great need, was a sign of weakness.

In order to improve relationship with others, you need to be aware of several sensible ways to complain. 1 , you need to be specific. Don’t say, “Boy, did you 2 like a fool at the party?” Instead, say, “You embarrassed me by getting 3 and loud and telling offensive jokes to my parents.” Secondly, stick to the present. Don’t mention old offences from last month or last year. By doing this, you 4 attention from the problem at hand. Moreover, 5 you complain, don’t add insults. If you start calling the other person names, that will 6 create anger and hurt any chance of getting the person to really 7 you. A last point to remember is to complain privately. Never criticize the other person in front of friends, parents, children, or anyone else, for that 8 . Criticizing in front of a third party has the same effect as 9 . This shames the person being criticized and makes it very likely that the person will want to attack you orally rather than listen to you.

When they returned from the hospital, they both looked __50 _. It seemed both of them had had a serious illness. After they were back, every day in the morning and dusk, my mother helped my father __51__ on the country road．
“Dad, how are you feeling now?” I asked him one day.“Susan, don’t __52__ me.” he said gently. “To tell you the truth, I just like walking with your mom.”__53__ his eyes, I know he loves my mother deeply.
Once I thought love meant flowers, gifts and __54__. But from this experience, I understand that love is just __55__ in the quilt of our life. Love is inside, making life strong and warm.
