A boy was walking home from school when he saw a large, tempting (诱人的)apple on one of the branches of an apple tree hanging out over a tall fence. The boy wasn’t much of a fruit-eater, a bar of chocolate if given the choice,     2   , as they say, the forbidden fruit can be tempting. Seeing the apple, the boy wanted it. The more he looked at it, the    3   he felt and the more he wanted that apple.
4  as high as he could , but even as his tallest  5 he was unable to touch it. He began to 6  up and down , as high as he could, at the  7  of each jump stretching his arms to get the apple . Still it remained out of 8  .
Not giving up , he though , if only he had something to 9  on . His school bag wouldn’t give enough height and he didn’t want to  10  the things inside , like his lunch box , pencil case , and  Gameboy . Looking   11  , he hoped he might find an old box , a rock , or ,   12  luck , even a ladder , but it was a tidy neighborhood and there was nothing he could use .
He had tried everything he could think to do .   13  seeing any other choices , he gave up and started to walk  14 . At first he felt angry and disappointed thinking about how hungry he had become from his  15  , and how he really wanted that apple . The more he  16  like this , the more unhappy he became.
17  ,the boy of our story was a pretty smart guy, even if he couldn’t always get what  he wanted .He started to say to himself :This isn’t  18    , I don’t have the apple and I’m feeling miserable as well. There’s  19  more I can do to get the apple  that is unchangeable-but we are supposed to be able to  20  our feelings. If that’s the case, what can I do to feel better?
