Certainly dustmen prefer to be known as “Reuse Collection and Disposal Officers”(垃圾回收处理官员)．You may think that this is rather 1 , and it is better to call a spade a spade．But dustmen can be as 2 as people of any other occupation(职业)，though we must 3 that their job is not a 4 one in the world．We often take dustmen for granted．Perhaps because they usually come very early in the morning, before most people are 5 ．We are likely to forget their 6 ．Our dustbins are 7 regularly, but we 8 stop to think about the men who do this．However, it is one of the most important jobs in the world, and when there are no dustmen to 9 the rubbish, the general 10 soon becomes aware that something is wrong．
Recently, the dustmen of England went on strike for higher wages．During the first few days it was regarded as a 11 ．But when the first two weeks had passed, and the dustbins were overflowing in nearly every backyard in the country, the joke did not seem so 12 any more． 13 the strike continued, people could not 14 the hills of rubbish around their dustbins, and they looked for other places in which to 15 it．Even Leicester Square, in the heart of West End of London, was 16 high with plastic bags full of smelly rubbish．This was a(n) 17 attraction that the people of London were not at all 18 to see．Even when the strike was over, it took several weeks for the country to get cleaned up completely．Perhaps now the English people 19 the work of their dustmen rather more 20 and won’t take them for granted any more．
As my wife greeted me one evening, her voice came through the door,“Guess what?”
I always take a deep 1 on this very leading question．“What?”I asked．
“I just won a sales contest at work and the 2 is dinner for two at the new fancy restaurant down by the river-front!”
She was so 3 ．We knew the restaurant was extremely good．“See?I told you there would be a 4 for me to wear my new spring outfit,”she shyly reminded me．
“ 5 can play at that game,”I responded．“I will wear my gray suit, my Borsalino imported straw hat and a new silk tie．We will be well 6 ．”
It was early 7 and nearing dusk as the waiter took us to a table by a window, with a(n) 8 of the river．And the table was 9 set, with a smoke-gray tablecloth and bright colored napkins．
A delicious meal 10 in such an atmosphere should be remembered a long time．As it 11 , this will probably never be forgotten．
As the shadows lengthened, the 12 rocking by the riverbank, I murmured,“Why not take a walk?”
Hand in hand, we walked by the stores．People smiled and nodded．“I 13 realized there were so many 14 people as we have seen this evening, dear,”I observed．
“Probably your new straw hat or your 15 ,”she said．
After receiving many smiles, we 16 ourselves back at the restaurant, looking at ourselves in the 17 ．It was then that I saw the 18 for all the smiles．
Caught in the fly of my trousers and 19 down for all to see was a bright red 20 from the restaurant!

One Easter Sunday, all the kids 3 with big eyes and big 4 about what the Easter Bunny(复活节小兔)had brought． 5 all of the kids shared their stories with 6 , one young boy , whom I shall call Bobby, sat 7 ．One of the teachers , noticing this, said to him, “And what did the Easter Bunny 8 you?”He replied, “My mom 9 the door by accident so the Easter Bunny couldn't get 10 because he hadn't got a key．”
This sounded like a 11 idea to all of us kids, so we kept on going with the stories．My mom knew the true story, 12 ．Bobby's mom was a single parent , and she suspected(怀疑)that they just couldn't 13 the Easter Bunny．
After Sunday School was over, everyone went off to 14 ．But my mom announced that we were going home 15 ．At home, she explained that to make Bobby feel 16 , we were going to pretend(假装)to be the Easter Bunny , make a basket of our candies for him and 17 it at church．We all donated(捐赠)some to the basket, and 18 back to church．There, mom hung the basket over the hanger(挂钩)and attached(附上)a(n) 19 ：
