Life is filled with challenges. As we get older we 26 realize that those challenges are the very things that  27  us and make us who we are, it is the same with the challenges that come with  28 .                                                   

       When we are faced with a challenge, we usually have two  29 : we can try to  30  it off, or we can decide that the thing presenting the challenge isn’t worth the  31  and call it quits. Although there are  32  times when calling it quits is the right thing to do, in most  33  all that is needed is commitment and  34 .

       When we are devoted to  35 , it means that no matter how  36  or how uncomfortable something is, we will always choose to  37  it instead of running away from it. Communication is making a  38  for discussion and talking about how you feel instead of just saying what the other person did wrong.  39  you can say to a friend, “I got my feelings hurt.”  40  “You hurt my feelings,” you are going to be able to solve the problem much faster.

       In dealing with many challenges that friendship will bring to you, try to see them for  41  they are: small hurdles(障碍) you need to jump or  42  on your way through life. Nothing is so big that it is impossible to get over, and hurt only  43  to make us stronger. It’s all part of growing up, it happens to everyone, and some day you will  44 on all of this and say, “ 45  as it was, it made me who I am today. And that is a good thing.”

Esther, a bright and well-behaved child, however, is not as innocent as she appears. Soon after being taken home, the peace of her adoptive family is completely changed…

You want a good horror film about a child from hell? Then you got one! Do not, in any cases, take children to see it.

500 Days of Summer 

Tom is in love with Summer from the moment he sees her. Can he accept that she simply likes him for now, not for forever? The movie is about Tom wrestling with that reality. Tom remembers his love, Summer, as a series of joys and bafflements. But Summer is just herself and he cannot have her.

Here is a rare movie that begins by telling us how it will end and is about how the hero has no idea why.

If you look   24   each word in the 25  , one at a time, what is your   26  ? It must be a   27   sentence in your native language. Languages do not only have different sounds, they are also   28  in many other ways. It is very   29  to master the rules of word   30   in the study of English, too. If the   31   puts words in a very unusual order, the listener doesn’t   32  the speaker’s sentence easily.
Another thing we must always   33  is that there are a lot of   34   in the English language. For example when we say “look out!” to a man who is in danger, we   35   mean “Be careful!”
