When I was about 12 years old, I really wanted a new bike, but I knew there was little hope because my family could 36 have that money.
On my birthday, my parents told me they had my 37 outside in the back yard. At once I 38 out to the yard. There was my bike, 39 it wasn’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I thought I 40 my parents’ feelings because I could see the disappointment 41 their faces and I was sure they could see it on mine. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling 42 that I had made my parents feel this way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.
As time went by, I began to understand my parents gave me 43 much more than just a rusty（生锈的）old bike. They gave me a life lesson about 44 . When you give something out of love, it doesn’t matter what it is in fact. What matters is the love that is in it. I like to remember this 45 because giving a gift is not about money.

In one’s life, one spends the most time being with oneself. But one has the least understanding of oneself. When you are successful, you may be very 41 . When you 42 , you may lose heart. If you don’t get a thorough understanding of yourself, you may miss many chances in life.
To get a thorough understanding of yourself is to know well about yourself. You may realize your strong points and weak 43 . You may hope for a wonderful future, but be sure not to expect too much because not 44 dreams can come true. You may be confident enough to meet challenges，but first you should know 45 .
To get a thorough understanding of yourself needs self-appreciation(自我欣赏). Maybe you think you are a tall tree 46 just small grass, but you can always have your own way of being there. As soon as you get full confidence in yourself, you are sure to face any trouble.
To get a thorough understanding of yourself also 47 to take care of yourself. When you are angry, find a quiet place so that you won’t be hurt. When you are 48 , tell your friends about it to change the mood(情绪) into a good one. When you are tired, get a good sleep. If you don’t know when and how you should look after yourself, you 49 be able to stay away from illness.
50 can tell what will happen in the future. Get a thorough understanding of yourself, and you will get a full control of yourself and find your life full of color.

The next day at school, one of my classmates said, “Your mum only has one eye!” and 19 at me.
I hated my mum and decided to leave her, so I studied very hard. Later I got a chance to go abroad to study and I left my mother. 20 graduation I worked, bought a house and got 21 there. Then I had kids of my own. I was happy with my wife and my kids. But one day someone knocked at my door. It was my 22 !When she stood by the door, my children laughed at her, and I 23 at her, “How dare you come to my house and scare my children! GET OUT OF HERE NOW!” And to this, my mum 24 answered, “Oh, I’m so sorry. I may have got the wrong 25 ,”and she disappeared.
One day, a letter regarding a school reunion（聚会） came to my house. So I 26 to my wife that I was going on a business trip. After the reunion, I went to the old house.

I am thinking 28 you all the time. I’m sorry that I came to your house and scared your 29 .
I was so glad when I heard you were coming for the reunion. But I may not be able to even get out of bed to see you. I’m sorry that I was still an embarrassment to you when you were growing up.

… With all my love to you!

An elderly carpenter(木匠) was ready to retire. He told his boss his plans to 1 the business and live a more relaxed life with his wife. He would miss the pay, but he needed to retire.
The boss was 2 to see his good worker go, and asked if he could build just one more house as a personal favor. The carpenter said yes, 3 it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He used poor skills and 4 materials. It was an unfortunate way to 5 his career.
When the carpenter finished his work, the boss came to 6 the house. After he checked it out, he handed a 7 to the carpenter. “This is your house,” he said. ‘It is my gift to you.”
What a shame！If he knew he was building his own house, the old man would have done it all so 8 .
So it is with all of us. Think of your life as a 9 . Each day you hammer a nail(钉子), place a board, or set up a wall. You must try your best to build the house wisely because it is the only life you will ever have. Your life tomorrow will 10 from the attitudes you choose today.

The only one who was not happy to see the newcomers was my 47 . She thought 48 would make our home dirty all the time. So I made a 49 for them on the balcony (阳台).
Hamsters always want people to look at them. They try to get noticed by raising the front part of their body, 50 they watch you come and go until you stop and talk to them. Watch out when they start to roller-turn in their cage (笼子). They won’t stop 51 you have tears of laugher!
Hamsters are 52 than you think. One morning several months ago, I found one missing. The side of the cage was much 53 than the hamster and the cage had a lid. How did the little one climb up, open the lid and 54 ? I thought hard. But I’ve 55 found an answer.

Someone says, “Time is money.” But I think time is 31 important than money. Why? Because when money is spent, we can get back. However（然而）, when time is 32 , it’ll never 33 . That is 34 we mustn’t waste（浪费）time.
So we say that 35 is usually short. Even a second（秒）is very important. We should make full use of our time to do something 36 .
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the importance of time. They spend their time smoking, drinking and 37 . They do not know that wasting time means wasting part of their own 38 .
In a word, we should save time. We shouldn’t 39 today’s work for tomorrow. Remember we have no time to 40 .

Nick was born without limbs(四肢), so life was not 33 for him. At school many students played jokes on him. Because he looked different from everyone else.

One’s education starts from family, especially from his or her mother. Here is a story__26__ happened in my childhood.
One Saturday morning, I was watching TV in the living room with my two brothers. My mum__27__ several apples of different colors and sizes. She put all the apples on the table, then __28__me and my younger brothers, “Which do you like ?”__29__ my younger brothers and I wanted the biggest one. __30__ I could say “ The biggest one”, one of my brothers stood up and said what I wanted to say.
My mum __31__ the biggest apple and said to us, “It is __32__to get the biggest apple. Many people want the best thing, but few really get it. Now let’s start a __33__. Look at the lawn(草坪) in front of our __34__. I’ll divide it into three parts. Each of you must finish pruning(修剪) __35__own share. The best and quickest one will be__36__the biggest apple.” I won the apple finally.
Since then, I have learned to try my best to succeed whenever I get a chance. I work __37__to get what I want. That was what my mother advised me to do. I feel very thankful to my mum because she taught me a very basic but the most __38__lesson. It is quite fair that we can get what we want __39__competing (竞争). My mother kept teaching us in this way and we followed her __40__ all the time.
I do believe that mother is the first teacher of children, who can teach them to be a No.1 pursuing person.
