完形填空

  As a teenager I was a productive letter writer. One letter I wrote

  1  .to56pages, and was  2  .of the extremely ordinary details (微不足道的事) of daily life. It could only have been of interest to me, and maybe, the receiver. But then,  3  , it might become attractive just because of the  4  details it recorded.

  Official records of history-books and pictures--may record important events  5  they were always intended to have a large audience.  6  , letters tend not to be modified (修) , often true to  7  . They were, after all,  8  for just one pair of eyes.

  Sadly, however, we don t write proper letters any more. Not only that, but, it's a fact that nowadays hardly anyone  9  to the letters they have receivedWe think only about  10  living and throwing things out. Who among us will leave any helpful papers for historians? In researching a book, I would never have found out that, in the late   19  th century, showy(花枝招展) waistcoats caused a lot of  11  , if I hadn't read the  12  . One fellow even wrote to a friend to say that if he were to ever meet a man wearing a kind of showy clothes he  13  shoot the man on sight.

  What a  14  if such details were lost due to lack of letter writing and a little saving. I think we should all  15  to write at least one letter a month any try to  16  those we get.

    17  good emails should be printed out and kept, too. Emails may not leave an example of our handwriting, but  18  they allow us to record our lives. Some years ago, a friend  19  me with a bundle of letters that I'd sent her since I was   16  . They gave a wonderful  20  of my teenage. History will need to know this, I'm sure.

   “BANG”the door caused a reverberation.“Never set foot in this house again!”shouted father.With tears weiling(涌出)up in my eyes,I rushed out of the hofase and ran along the street.

    A young father who held a child in his arlzis walked past rile.I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space:happy and harmonious(和谐)

    But now I don’t know whether it is because I have grown up or because Dad is getting old.We are just like two people coming from two different worlds.It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.

    1 wandered the street,without a destination in my n'nnd.My heart was frozen oil this hot summer night.As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people m the streets,until I had only streets to keep me company When I finally reached the high rise apartment block in which I livegt,I saw that the light was still on.

     I thought to myself,“Is father waiting for rile.or is he still angry with me?”

    In fact,it was nothing.Perhaps,Dad was throwing some of his old stamps.Perhaps he thought they were useless.I never had th,e courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.

    All the lights were off except father’S

    Dad was always 1ike this.Maybe he didn’t know bow to express himself.After shouting at me,he never showed any mercy or regret After an argument he will creep(蹑手蹑脚)up in my sleep and then tuck rile underneath the covers

    This was how he always was.Fie has been a leader for So long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.

    The fight was still oil With the key in hand,1 was as nervous as 1 had ever been.At last,I decided to open the door.As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks.I suddenly realized that the iron door that l had imagined between us did not exist at all Love-it is second to none.

David Beckham made a losing start to his second season in Major League Soccer when his Los Angeles Galaxy team were crushed 4 – 0 by the Colorado Rapids on Saturday.

Beckham, in his first game since reaching 100 international caps for England in a friendly against France on Wednesday, played in a variety of different positions as head coach Ruud Gullit tried in vain to find a successful formation.

The former England captain and his Galaxy team mates struggled to cope with playing at altitude, just outside Denver.

“It is always going to be tough when you travel when you have got international games,” Beckham told reporters. It is always tough when you are back from England and you are adjusting to the time difference.

“I felt ok for most of the match but I was maybe not at my sharpest and maybe the altitude had something to do with that.”

Former Manchester United winger Terry Cooke opened scoring for Colorado after 10 minutes.

The Galaxy went further behind after an hour when defender Abel Xavier was adjudged to have fouled Rapids forward Omar Cummings inside the penalty area(罚球区). Christian Gomez converted the spot-kick after they argued fiercely.

“I find it hard not to criticize some of the decisions tonight but I’ve been told I’ll be fined if I do,” said Beckham. “But certain decisions change games. I think that has happened tonight.”

Cummings added Colorado’s third goal on 67 minutes before Colin Clark scored the fourth with 10 minutes left. 

Xavier was sent off late in the game for using abusive language towards referee Abiodun Okulaja and Colorado substitute Ciaran O’Brien was also dismissed after a foul on Carlos Ruiz.
