Many people of my generation(代,一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that 21 people behave today.
Their first argument(论点) is that when we were young we used to look after the 22 people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t 23 about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no 24 . People had to live with their 25 and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more 26 to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect to be given jobs ---and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain(抱怨) about 27 . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts(关系). It is really 28 today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the 29 . This generation, like generations before them, has new 30 as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

The boy had a __41___ smile on his face. He would then fall to the grass, get up , and without__42___ or without looking back at his mother, run as fast as he could, again, still with a big smile on his face, as if __43___ had happened.
With 44 especially at an early age, when they fall down, they don’t consider their falling down as a failure, __45___ instead, they treat it as a learning experience. They try and try again _46____ they succeed.
The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “__47__” yet. Thus they don’t know __48__ to feel the state which accompanies failure. They probably think that it is perfectly okey to fall down, and that it’s not _49___ to do so. In other words, they give themselves permission (许可) to _50___ mistakes subconsciously(潜意识地). Thus they always remain encouraged.
I was _51___ by the boy’s persistence(坚持) and the manner in which he ran. With each _52___, he looked so confident. No _53__ of fear, or of being discouraged ----- as if he didn’t _54___ the world around him. His only aim was to run _55___ and to do it as effectively as he could. I learned a lot from that observation and experience.

James’s New Bicycle
James shook his money box again. Nothing! He carefully 26 the coins that lay on the bed. $24.52 was all that he had. The bicycle he wanted was at least $90! 27 on earth was he going to get the 28 of the money?
He knew that his friends all had bicycles. It was 29 to hang around with people when you were the only one without wheels. He thought about what he could do. There was no 30 asking his parents, for he knew they had no money to 31 .
There was only one way to get money, and that was to 32 it. He would have to find a job. 33 who would hire him and what could he do? He decided to ask Mr. Clay for advice, who usually had 34 on most things.
