Bob and Annie had not known each other long before they became eager to get married:Bob because he wanted Annie and she because she could at least lead a life away from her1. When Mrs.Thompson 2 that they marry and live with her until they could get a 3 3 of their own, Annie hesitated. Her idea of 4 had been something which 5 5her a husband and an orderly, well-furnished home all at once. 6 she soon saw the 7 of this arrangement. She would, first of all, 8 from her present life into a house which was quiet and well run, not 9 her own; and she would be able to go on walking so that she and Bob could 10 up all the more quickly for their own house. She would also get Bob, a good enough husband for any working-class 11:good-natured and 12 to be bent her way whenever it was 13 13for her ends.
Things went well until her mother-in-law’s 14, when Annie had to give up her 15 and was at home all day. Her father-in-law became just a 16 figure in the house and 17Bob became used to him, Annie began to find the old man’s constant 18in the house a source of growing annoyance(烦恼).
“He gets on my nerves, Bob,” she said. “And he hardly says a word all day.”
“Well, I suppose he has a 19 to do as he likes,” Bob said mildly. “It’s his house not ours.” But to Annie, now looking after the house 20 it were her own, it was beginning to seem the other way about.

I was a single parent of four small children, working at a low-paid job. Money was always not enough, but we had a 1 over our heads, food on the table, clothes on our backs, and if not a lot, always 2. Not knowing we were poor, my kids (孩子们) just thought I was 3. I’ve always been glad about that.
It was Christmas time, and although there wasn’t enough 4 for a lot of gifts, we planned to hold a family party. And the big 5 for the kids was the fun of Christmas 6.
They planned weeks ahead of time, asking 7 what they wanted for Christmas. Luckily, I had saved $120 for them to buy 8.
The big 9 arrived. I gave each kid a twenty-dollar bill and 10 them to look for gifts of about four dollars each. Then everyone scattered(散开). We had two hours to shop; then we would 11 again at the “Santa’s Workshop”.
Driving home, everyone was in high Christmas spirits, 12 my younger daughter, Ginger, who was unusually 13. She had only one small, flat bag with a few candies　— fifty-cent candies! I was so angry, but I didn’t say anything 14 we got home. I called her into my bedroom and closed the door, ready to be 15 again. This is what she told me.
“I was looking 16, thinking of what to buy, and I 17 to read the little cards on the ‘Giving Trees.’ One was for a little girl, four years old, and all she 18 for Christmas was a doll(玩具娃娃). So I took the card off the tree and 19 the doll for her. We have so much and she doesn’t have anything.”
I never felt so 20 as I did that day.

This is a story that can teach us a good lesson. One day, a man in rags begged from door to door along the street. With an old wallet in his hand, he was asking for a few coins to buy something to eat. He kept complaining about his bad fortune and kept 1why those who had so much money were never2and were always desiring more.
“As far as I’m concerned, if I had only enough to3and to wear, I would not want anything more.”
Just at that moment Goddess Fortune, who came down the 4saw the beggar and said to him, “Hi, I have wished to5you for a long time. Now, open your6and I will pour my gold into it. But I will do that only on this7: All that falls into the wallet will be pure gold; but every piece falling upon the8shall become dust. Do you understand?
“I see,” said the beggar.
“Then you should9! It’s obvious that your wallet is a(an)10one, so don’t load it too heavily,” said the Goddess Fortune.
The excited beggar could hardly11to have gold. He quickly opened his wallet, and a 12of yellow coins was poured into it. The wallet grew heavier and heavier.
“Is that enough?” Isn’t it cracking?” asked Fortune.
“Never fear. It’s still13enough now.” answered the beggar.
The wallet was filled with so many coins that the beggar’s hands began to14 “Ah, if only the golden stream would15forever! Just a little more,” said the beggar, “16just a handful or two.”
“There! It’s full. The wallet will 17.” warned the Goddess, but the beggar requested, “It will18
One more piece was added and the wallet split. The19fell upon the ground and became dust. The greedy beggar had now20but his broken bag.

My name is Scott and I am 36 years old. I have spent most of my adult life doing an 1 job, so I had a very cynical (愤世嫉俗的) view of life and the world around me. I saw no point in trying to 2 my life or the lives of the people around me.
Two years ago my wife 3 me to return to school and work toward a career where I would find satisfaction. So I entered Long Beach City College to pursue a 4 in history. Last term I took a political science class. The 5 Dr. Rock had such a great effect on me. He 6 in the Air Force, worked in the U.S. nuclear program and served in the White House. When I asked another instructor 7 someone who was so overqualified（资历过高的）worked at a small community college, she 8 told me because he wanted to.
This 9 me, so I asked Dr. Rock himself why he did not pursue a better role in his career. What he told me has changed my 10 forever. He told me that by working at the college he would be able to 11 the kinds of students he believed would make a 12 in the world. He said that 13 the right motivation and support, the students he taught could become the future leaders of our country. He said that he preferred the inner city 14 because the students there showed the 15 promise and cared deeply for their education.
Dr. Rock paid attention to the needs of the community. He taught me how to care and 16 us to take part in our community in any way we 17 .
I thought that I was the 18 one that was affected by his lessons, but at the end of the term I found that the entire class had felt the same 19 that came over me. Dr. Rock taught us how to 20 our country, our community and ourselves.

Once again, I was in a new school. So was a girl in my class named Phoebe. That’s 1 the similaritiesended.
I was tall and she was small. I was one of the oldest in the class while she was the youngest. I was 2and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t 3 her, considering her my enemy. But she wanted to be friends.
One day, she invited me over and I said yes — I was too 4 to say no. Actually no one has invited me over to play before. But this girl, who wore the latest fashion, wanted to see me.
She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister. When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies（芭比娃娃）- which was my next 5. I would have thought she’d outgrown them. I had never played with them. But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we made up crazy stories about the Barbies. That’s 6 we found out that we both wanted to be writers when we were older. We both had wild 7.
We had a great day that afternoon. Our jaws ached from 8 so much. She showed me her outfits, which had mostly come from a designer clothing store down the block. The woman who owned it used her 9
Phoebe had the whole neighborhood 10. The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the movie theater gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free slices. Soon I was included in her magic world. We slept over at each other's houses and spent every free moment together. My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being 11.
Phoebe, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the through teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your “worst enemy” can 12 to be your best friend.

Panicking, she began to16. Then, just as it seemed as if she would slip beneath the surface, she heard a17voice. “Hold on ! I’m coming.” With18, she saw the old man rowing an ancient-looking boat towards her. “I hope you’ve learned a lesson. You put us both in19, ” he shouted angrily, as he dragged her over the side of the20. Gratefully, Diane thanked him and ran towards the beach-house.

He also had great ideas and6for everything; and he shared them so generously that, just about every day in that town, someone did a great job, or7something new, thanks to Charlie’s ideas.
One day, though, he came up against a real8. A young boy came to town on his holidays. He was known as Waterworks and was a real crybaby.

But Cheerful Charlie wasn’t going to be10, and he kept spending more time with Waterworks,11trying to cheer him up, just as he did with everyone.
Then, one day, when they were together in the street, someone12a pie from a window above by chance, and it landed13on Charlie’s head. He got such a fright that he couldn’t even move his lips.

On saying those words, Waterworks felt so15that he finally understood why Charlie was always so happy and cheerful. He realized that he was so used to Charlie’s enthusiasm that he couldn’t help but see the funny side of everything.
