15.I am a mother of three (ages 14,12 and 3)and have recently completed my college degree.The last (36)AI had to take was Sociology and the last project of the term was called"Smile".The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and note down their (37)D.
Soon after we were (38)C the project,my husband,youngest son and I went out to McDonald's.We were standing in line,waiting to be (39)B.When all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away.As I turned around,I smelled a (40)C"dirty body"smell and there (41)C me stood two poor homeless men.As I looked down at the short gentleman close to me,he was"(42)D"-his beautiful sky blue eyes were full of the light as he searched for(43)C.
He said"Good day"as he (44)A the few coins he had been holding.The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted.He said,"Coffee is(45)D,Miss,"because that was what they could afford.To sit in the restaurant and (46)Bup,they had to buy something.
Then I really felt it-the (47)Awas so great that I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes.That was when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were (48)C me,judging my every action.I smiled and asked for two more breakfast meals on a (49)A tray.I then walked to the table that the men had chosen as a (50)Dspot,put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue eyed gentleman's cold hand.He looked(51)Aat me,with tears in his eyes,and said,"Thank you."I patted his hand and said,"I did not do this for you.God is here working(52)C me to give you hope."
I returned to college with this story in hand.I (53)D"my project"and later the instructor read it to the class.In this way I had(54)Dmy classmates and the people around me.And I graduated with one of the most meaningful lessons in my life-(55)B acceptance.

13.It's 10:30 p.m.,and 11-year-old Brandon Blanco is sound asleep at home.Suddenly,a loud noise (21)Ahim up.Naturally,Brandon (22)Ahis cell phone.He blinks twice,and the message on the screen becomes clear:"R U awake?"
The (23)Dtext does not annoy Brandon since he gets frequent (24)Band calls,even after bedtime.And he can't imagine life without them."If I didn't have a cell phone,I wouldn't be able to talk to my friends or family as often,"he told the Kaiser Family Foundation.
Brandon's use of (25)Cdoesn't stop there.He also has a computer,a TV and three video-game consoles(控制台)in his room.With so many (26)C,it is no surprise that when he is not at school,he spends nearly every (27)Dminute using one or more of these devices.Brandon is hardly (28)B.According to a recent study by TFK,kids aged 8 to 18 are spending more time than ever before using(29)Cdevices.How much time?More than seven and a half hours a day(30)A,the study found.That's about an hour more than just five years ago.
The jump is the result of a huge explosion in mobile devices,says Victoria Rideout,the lead author of the study."These devices have opened up many more(31)Dfor young people to use media,whether it's on the bus,on the way to school or waiting in line before the cashier,"says Rideout.
Often,kids (32)D,or use more than one device at a time."If you've got a chance to do something on your (33)Aand take a phone call and have the TV on at the same time,why not?"Media expert Cheryl Olson says.Most experts agree technology has much to (34)Bkids.But some worry the kids could be (35)Bother (36)Dlike playing outside or (37)Dwith friends."It's a matter of balance,"says Olson.
Multitasking while(38)Dis another concern.Some kids listen to music,watch TV or use the phone while doing their homework."It's important to make sure that you should (39)Bone thing deeply,"says Rideout.
With new and exciting devices hitting stores every year,keeping technology use(40)Ais more important than ever."Kids should try,"adds Rideout."But parents might have to step in sometimes."

10.When I was young,every night,my mother came to my bed.She would(41)Adown and push my long hair out of the way,and then kiss my forehead.
    I don't remember when it first started(42)B me.I don't like her hands pushing my hair that way,for they felt rough(43)Dmy young skin.Finally,one night,I(44)Cout at her,"Don't do that any more,your hands are too rough!"She made no(45)Band left quietly.But never did my mother do it again.
    With the years passing by,I(46)Band had my own daughter too.Night after night,I would go to her bed pushing her long hair out of the way and(47)Cher good night.Just like my mother to me years ago!I came to understand my mother and her expression of(48)A.By then I (49)Dmy mother's hands and her goodnight kiss.
    Many more years have passed.Mom is in her seventies,and those hands I(50)Bthought to be too rough are still doing things for me and my family.
    Now,Mom no longer has Dad and lives(51)A.One night on Thanksgiving Eve,I found myself(52)Cto her house to spend the night with her.As I slept in the bedroom of my youth,a(53)Aand warm hand ran across my face to push the hair from my forehead.Then a kiss,ever so gently,touched my forehead.I burst into(54)A.
    I sobbed(抽泣)and told her how I loved her and how I felt(55)Dthat I said those silly words that night.She looked at me(56)A.I had thought she'd remember it(57)CI did.But obviously she had already forgotten it and(58)Cme long ago!
That night,I fell asleep with a new (59)Dfor my gentle mother and her caring hands.And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was(60)Bto be found.

Listening to her,the older woman(42)Dthe younger woman's distress(苦恼) and knew she must help her.She also knew she could(43)Cease her pain,but she could teach.
Then,she said."There are(44)Bthings you need to do.The first is extremely difficult.Tonight,Take your best(45)Apillows and open a small hole in each one.Then,(46)Dthe sun rises,you must put a single feather on the doorstep of each house in town.When you are(47)A,come back to me.If you've done the first thing(48)C,I'll tell you the second."
The young woman hurried home to prepare for her chore,(49)Bthe pillows were very(50)Dto her and very expensive.
All night long,she went from doorstep to doorstep.Her fingers were(51)D.The wind was so sharp that it caused her eyes to water,but she ran on through the (52)Cstreets,(53)Cthere was something she could do to put things(54)Dthe way they once were.Finally she placed the last feather on the steps of the last house.Just as the sun rose,she returned to the older woman.
She was exhausted but(55)B,thinking that her efforts would be rewarded.
"Now,"said the wise woman,"Go back and(56)Ayour pillows.Then everything will be as it was before."
The young woman was stunned,"You know that's impossible!The wind(57)Ceach feather as fast as I placed them on the doorsteps!You didn't say I had to get them back!If this is the second requirement,then things will never be the same."
"That's true,"said the older woman."Never forget.Each of your words is like a feather in the wind.Once(58)Ano amount of effort,(59)Dsincere or heartfelt,can ever return them to your mouth.Choose your words well and(60)Bthem in the presence of those you love."
