The boy dug around the rock, 3 to move it off the dirt. At first, he wanted to carry it out of the sandbox with his hands; however, it was too heavy. Later, with much 4 , he pushed the rock across the sandbox by 5 his hands. When the boy got the rock to the 6 of the sandbox, he found that he couldn’t roll it up and 7 the little wall. 8 , the little boy pushed, but every time he thought he had made some 9 , the rock tipped (翻滚) and then fell back into the sandbox. The little boy pushed and pushed, but his only 10 was to have the rock roll back.
Finally he 11 tears. All this time the boy’s father watched from his living room window 12 the drama was unfolded. The moment the tears fell, a large 13 appeared across the sandbox. It was the boy’s father. Gently but 14 , he said, “Son, why didn’t you use all the strength that you had?”

Coming home from school that dark winter day so long ago, I was filled with excitement of having the weekend off. But I was 41 into stillness by what I saw. Mother, seated at the far end of the sofa, was 42 with the second-hand green typewriter on the table. She told me that she couldn’t 43 fast and then she was out of work. My shock and embarrassment at finding Mother in tears was a perfect proof of how 44 I understood the pressure on her. Sitting beside her on the sofa, I began very slowly to understand. “I guess we all have to 45 something,” Mother said quietly. I could 46 her pain and the tension of 47 the strong feeling that were interrupted by my 48 . Suddenly, something inside me lit up. I reached out and put my arms around her. She broke then. She put her face 49 my shoulder and sobbed. I held her 50 and didn’t try to talk. I knew I was doing what I should, what I could and that was 51 . At that moment, feeling Mother’s 52 with feelings, I understood for the first time her being easy to 53 . She was still my mother, 54 she was something 55 : a person like me, capable of fear, 56 and failure. I could feel her pain as she must have felt mine on a thousand occasions when I sought 57 in her arms.
A week later Mother took a job selling dry goods at half the salary the radio station __58 .
“It’s a job I can do, though.” She said simply. But the evening practice on the green typewriter continued. I had a very 59 feeling now when I passed her door at night and heard her 60 away across the paper. I knew there was something more going on in there than a woman learning to type.

Although the New Year is already here, the great moments of the past year are still in the memory. Let’s look back at some of them.
United States
One of the world’s largest New Year’s Eve parties was held in Times Square, New York. The festival attracted hundreds of thousands of people to watch a brightly-lit ball drop on a landmark building at the stroke (击、打) of midnight.
A great amount of confetti (五彩纸屑) was released from the sky at zero o’clock.
Britain
Painted in shinning colors, blowing whistles, 50，000 party-goers arrived in London’s Millennium Dome to dance in the New Year. The Millennium Dome came to life at midnight as 50 DJs started up, competing on five separate dance floors to warm the crowd into the party mood.
Russia
New Year is the biggest holiday in Russia. It is traditional to put up a tree for celebrations with family and friends.
On the very last day of last year, Russians with a taste for a very cold swim braved freezing temperatures to plant traditional, festival trees on the bed of the Northern Ocean and at the bottom of Lake Baikal, the world’s deepest lake.
Malaysia
Brave skydivers threw themselves off the world’s tallest building near midnight and floated towards the New Year.
The jump from the 452-metre Petronas Twin Tower was called a real leap from one year to the next since the group took off in the last second of the old year and landed a minute later in the New Year. “That was really cool,” said Roland Simpson, “over crowds of onlookers to the landing spot.”
