My name is Lily. My father is a teacher. His students love him a lot because he is funny. I love him, too, but I think he can be “foolish”  41 .
Once we moved into a new house and had to go shopping to buy new chairs and lights. In the supermarket, I’m interested   42  some of the beautiful lights with good qualities and made my father buy them.
When we got home, my father began to work out how much money we had   43  that day. Suddenly, he stopped. “Something’s wrong.” he said. “I’ve got 30 yuan   44  than I should!”“That’s great,” I said. “You can buy me that   45  book I want.”
Father said nothing. Instead, he counted(数) how much money he had again and again.
“The salesgirl must have made a mistake. We   46  go back to the shop,” he said.
“Do you have to go back?” I asked. “Nobody will know we   47  too much change(找零). It would be foolish to go back.”
“It wouldn’t be ‘foolish’.” my father said angrily. “It’s called being   48  .” At that moment, I looked into his eyes and knew he was right.
The salesgirl was surprised to see us in the shop again. But   49  we gave her the money, she thanked us a lot.
On my way home, my father stopped me   50  smiled. “Do you still want that cartoon book?” he asked. I looked at my “foolish” father and answered loudly, “Father, you are the greatest!”

When Kyle walked into Ernie's Pet World, he looked very worried. He walked quickly to the front counter(柜台). The owner of the shop, Ernie, jumped out to greet Kyle. He was the shop's first shopper of the day.
"Good morning, sir!" Ernie said. "What can I help you with?"
"Well, I...," Kyle started to say.
"Wait, don't tell me," Ernie interrupted (打断) him. "You're looking for a … a little dog... for
your daughter 's birthday.  Right?"
"No T really, l just..."
Ernie didn't let him finish. "Ah, I've got it, You just moved into a new house, and you want some fish for it. I have some very nice tanks over here."
"In fact, I..." Kyle was starting to look very nervous (紧张的). His face had a strange expression(表情)on it.
"No fish? Ah, a cat! You look like a cat person. At Ernie's Pet World, we have the best kinds. Take a look at this Persian— long, white hair, and look at that cute expression. She's looking at you. She's thinking, ‘Take me home. Take me home.’ Would you like some cat food and toys as well?"
"No, thank you," Kyle said. By this time, he was walking up and down. He had a pained (痛苦的) look on his face. "Really, I'm not interested in cats or fish or little dogs."
"What do you want, then?" Ernie asked.
Kyle looked like he was going to cry. "I just want to know if I can use your bathroom!" he finally said.

The weather is something no one can control. Maybe that is   16   there are so many expressions about the weather, especially about   17  .

    Sometimes, when you need rain, you do not get any. Other times, you get rain when you don’t need it.   18   a baseball game for example, a sudden rainstorm can stop an exciting game. If the game cannot continue, people who bought the tickets are given “rain checks”. These are   19   tickets that will let them see a   20   game for free.

   “Rain Check” now means a second chance at something. Shops may offer “rain checks” when they sell out all of a product(产品) — a television set, for example, at a special low price.   21   all the TV sets have been sold out, the shop gives rain checks to those who wanted to buy   22  . The rain check allows a person to buy the TV set later at the same low price after the shop receives some   23   TV sets from the factory.

    “Rain Check” is also used in social situations. It’s a way of   24   an invitation, but for a later time.

    You may ask for a “Rain Check” if you are invited to a friend’s house for dinner, but can’t be there right now. You say, “I would love to go, but I’m busy. Could I have a rain check?”   25   you are asking if you could have dinner with your friend at another time. It seems that your friend will probably ask you to dinner very soon next time.
