5.We live in a fast-paced and anxiety-filled world that oftentimes seems to shift beneath our feet.Thus we are sometimes affected by fears or anxiety impacting our life.For as long as I could remember I had struggled with anxiety.After I left university,I made friends with a Moroccan woman at work.One day she invited me to (31)D her and her family back home.I wanted to,but I would have to travel there (32)A and I knew we would be in a very rural area.How would I cope with my (33)D?
Then one day it(34)Dto me that I had a life to live.I could choose to let anxiety(35)B me or I could go to Morocco and (36)Bsomething different.I was 23years old and had never been out of the UK alone.The journey to Morocco (37)A something inside me.I managed to cope with my anxiety.The sense of (38)A was overwhelming(势不可挡的) and still to this day when I get afraid of going somewhere alone,I remember how (39)A it felt when I arrived in Morocco.
Upon arrival I was so (40)Dfor the generous welcome I received.My friend's family had arranged a welcome party.The people were so loving toward me.As a moment of(41)C felt in a faraway village,this reminded me that I was"good enough",which helped to (42)D my anxiety.
Waking up the next day,in the morning light,I saw the area where we were.I was (43)Dby how rural it was-and the realization that these people had very few (44)C.
In the days afterwards,I traveled around Morocco.We went to Marrakesh and (45)B the Atlas mountains.We had the most amazing food-lots of fresh fruits and vegetables.
At the end of my (46)C something inside me had changed.I realized I had not felt anxious for nearly two weeks.
Experiencing a different culture far away from home helped me to realize what is important in life,what really (47)C,and with that my anxiety (48)A.When I returned home I was much more active in (49)B my anxiety.Working with people,helping them (50)Dtheir anxiety,is how I can share the love I found in Morocco.

4.I stopped to watch my little girl busy playing in her room.In one hand was a plastic(41)C; in the other a toy broom.I listened as she was speaking to her make-believe(假装) little friend and I'll never forget the words she said,even(42)Bit was imagined.
She said,"Suzie's in the corner because she's not been very(43)A.She didn't listen to a(44)DI said or do the things she should."In the corner I saw her baby doll all dressed in lace and pink.It was(45)Athat she'd been put to sit alone and(46)B.
My daughter(47)Dher"conversation",as I sat down on the floor.She said,"I'm all fed up.I just don't know what to do with her any more.She cried whenever I have to work and wants to play games,too.She never(48)Ame do the things that I just have to do.She tries to help me with the dishes,but her arms just cannot(49)D.And she doesn't know(50)Dto fold towels.I don't have the(51)Cto teach.I have a lot of work to do and a big house to keep clean.I don't have the time to sit and play(52)Awhat I mean?"
And that day I thought a lot about making some(53)Ain my life,as I listened to her words that(54)Dme like a knife.I hadn't been paying enough attention to what I hold most(55)B.I'd been caught up in responsibilities that increased(56)Ayears.
But now my(57)Ahas changed,because,in my heart,I realize that I've seen the world in a different light through my little darlings eyes.So,let the webs(58)Dthe corners and the dust bunny rabbit rule the floor.I'm not going to worry about keeping up with them(59)A.
I'm going to fill the house with(60)Aof a child and her mother,for we are granted only one childhood,and we will ne ver get another.

3.Dear World,
My son starts school today.It's going to be (41)C and new to him for a while.And I wish you would sort of treat him (42)A.
You see,(43)B,he's been king of the family.He's been (44)Dof the backyard.I have always been around to (45)C his wounds,and to comfort his feelings.
But now-things are going to be (46)B.
This morning,he is going to walk down the front steps,wave his hand and start on his great (47)D that will probably include wars and (48)Cand sorrow.To live his life in the world he has to live in will (49)A faith and love and courage.
So,World,I wish you would sort of take him (50)D his young hand and teach him that things he will have to know.Teach him-but gently,if you can.Teach him that for every scoundrel(恶棍)there is a hero; that for every dishonest politician,there is a(51)C leader; that for every enemy there is a friend.Teach him the wonders of (52)B.Give him quiet time to think carefully about the(53)Bof birds in the sky,bees in the sun,and flowers on the green hills.Teach him it is far more honorable to fail than to (54)A.Teach him to (55)Bhis own ideas,(56)B everyone else tells him they are wrong.Teach him to sell his physical strength and brains to the highest bidder,but never to put a price on his (57)C.Teach him to close his (58)Cto a howling mob(暴徒) and to stand and fight if he thinks he's right.Teach him gently,World,but don't (59)D him,because only the(60)A of fire makes fine steel.
This is a big order,World,but see what you can do.He's such a nice little fellow.
