Hearing the front door open, I ran down to the kitchen and waited. I saw my dad come in, with the white envelope in his hand. I had waited all day for this, so I reached over him for it as soon as he set foot into the house. Angrily, he 41 the envelope on the table and said that it was nothing to get excited about, and that it was just a piece of paper. I grabbed (抓取) it and ran upstairs. I wondered why my dad did not understand how 42 I was to see my mid-year report card for my first year in middle school. I was really 43 by how he refused to consider all my hard work.
I saw my class rank (等级): 1/139. I did not behave what I saw. I felt my lips (嘴唇) form a smile and wanted to run downstairs to tell everyone. Then I 44 what my dad had said--- it was nothing to get excited about. I wanted to share my happiness with someone, but felt lonely.
I realized that I had become distant (远隔的) from my family. We used to ___45______late watching Disney movies, and my brothers, sisters and I would play tennis in the backyard all the time. I wondered when all that had 46 . I just no longer took part in them. My school work 47 all my time and energy.
While I had been busy with my study, I had also built a 48 between me and my family. I was only trying to become a person everyone could be 49 of.
I wanted to go downstairs, say sorry for my rude behavior and for every refused movie and tennis game, and be 50 of my family again, I knew I had to do something--because without their support, my achievement meant nothing.

Traffic rules help to keep order on the road. They also help to keep people 26 . The pedestrian(行人) has as many rules to 27 as the driver of a car. You should walk on the sidewalk(人行道) or at the side of the road. Always look 28 before you walk across the street.
If you like riding a bike, don’t ride in the middle of the road or run 29 red traffic lights. When you ride a bike with a friend, don’t look around or talk.If you drive a car, you should 30 at the traffic lights. You must always 31 a seat belt(安全带). Without belts 32 the driver and the passengers may be badly hurt in a sudden accident.
You may not need to take a bus, but 33 if you have to travel in one. Get on or get off a bus only when it comes to a 34 . When it is full, don’t try to get inside 35 you may fall off.

The poor are very wonderful people. One evening my sisters and I went out and picked up four people from the street. One of them 31 a most terrible condition. I told my sisters, "You 32 the other three. I take care of this one who looks 33 .”So I did for her all that my love can do.I 34 her in bed, and there was such a beautiful smile on her face. She took hold of my hand as she 35 ‘’Thank you" and then she died. I could not help but examined my heart before her. I asked myself 36 I would say if I was in her place. My answer was very simple.1 would say I was hungry, cold, homeless, and I was dying, or something else, but she gave me her 37 love. Then she died with a smile on her face.
I am going to try to make a home for many people who have no home. Because I believe that love begins at home, and if we can create a home for the poor, I think that 38 love will spread(延伸、撒开)．Through this love we will be able to bring peace to the poor. So let us always meet 39 with a smile, for the smile is the 40 of love, and once we begin to love each other naturally, we will do something for others.

If you are writing or studying, it makes much difference where the light comes from. People use 36 and pens every day. They have to be very careful about the 37 of the light because the light shines on their work.
Every 38 gets its light either from daylight 39 the window or from the lamps, 40 no matter what kind of light it is, the way it shines is very important to the eyes.
Take a book and sit with your 41 towards the window, and try to read. Your shadow(影子) falls all over the page and makes it 42 for your eyes as if you were in a 43 room. Now turn around and face the window. The page is in shadow again, 44 the bright light is in your eyes.Try sitting with your 45 side towards the window. This is very good for reading, but if you were writing, the shadow 46 fall across the page and trouble you 47 .There is another way – sit 48 your left side to the window. Now everything is perfect for 49 as well.
Whatever kind of light is in the room, the rule about the right way to sit is 50 the same. So you see different ways to sit make much difference in writing or studying.
