Later in bed, I __38__ the time I started college. My father had driven me, too. My mother had to stay home to keep the __39__ from getting into the crops. I, the fourth in a line of brothers, was the first to __40__ college.
The truck was slow, and I was glad. I didn’t want to get to the city __41__. I shook hands with my father in the truck and he didn’t say a word. But I knew he was going to make a little __42__. He finally said, “I never went to college and __43__ of your brothers did. I can’t say don’t do this or that, because everything is __44__ and I don’t know what is going to come up, but I think things will __45__. When you get a job, be sure to be honest and work hard.” I knew that soon I would be __46__ in the big town and I would be __47__ the life home.
Then my father __48__ the Bible that he had read so often. I knew that he would miss it but I must __49__ it. He just said, “This can help you __50__ you will let it.”
When I finished school I took the Bible __51__ to my father. But he said he wanted me to __52__ it.
Now, too often, I remember. It would have been so __53__ to give it to my daughter when she got out of the car. But I didn’t. My father could give me only a Bible, but now I don’t really believe that I gave her half as __54__ as my father gave me. So the next morning I __55__ up the book and sent it to her.

“Down-to-earth” means someone or something that is honest, practical and easy to deal with. It is   36  to find someone who is down-to-earth. A person who is down-to-earth is easy to talk to and   37  other people as equals. A down-to-earth person is just the   38  of someone who acts important and proud.
Down-to-earth persons   39  be important members of society, of course.   40 they do not let their importance “go to their heads”. They do not   41  themselves to be better persons than others of less importance. Someone who is filled with his own importance and pride, often without cause, is   42  to have “his nose in the air”.

He may have   47 , but he does not allow them to   48  his knowledge of what is real.
The opposite kind of   49  is one who has his “head-in-the-clouds”. A man with his-head-in-the-clouds is a dreamer whose   50  is not in the real world.
51 , such a dreamer can be brought back to earth.   52  words from a teacher can usually bring a day-dreaming student down-to-earth.
Usually, the person who is down-to-earth is very   53  to have both feet on-the –ground. 54  we have both our feet on-the –ground, when we are down-to-earth, we act   55  and openly towards others. Our lives are like the ground below us, solid and strong.

When the modern Olympic Games 44 in 1896, the organizers knew this 45 . The marathon has been a race 46 that time.
In the ancient world the Olympic Games were held 47 four years of 1000 years. They were an important part of life. In the 48 Games we try to copy their 49 . The finest sportsmen in the world are collected in one place 50 at least the finest “amateurs（业余爱好者） ” are. An amateur is someone who does not earn 51 money from sport. It is often difficult to say who is an amateur and who is not. It is 52 that Olympic athletes do not earn large amounts of money like professional （职业的）sportsmen. But Olympic athletes are often students or teachers of a 53 . They have to 54 a lot of time training. Their governments pay for their training travel and pocket money, 55 they want them to win.
