Receiving is Giving
I learned about giving in a gentle, caring way. Because my mother was a skilled seamstress(女裁缝)，I was a 36 child. It might have been something related to “the joy of giving” that make me 37 several of my most fashionable dresses to a less 38 little girl, who lived with disabled parents.
After thanking me gratefully, the little girl 39 me her only party dress. Puzzled, I tried to 40 , but my mother guided me. She thanked the girl and told her how happy I would be 41 the dress. Then I came to know that my greatest gift to the girl was 42 of the gift she offered me.
Many years later, I stood by 43 as my small rabbit Ashley lay dying. Suddenly she 44 a scratch(抓痕)on the shoulder of her friend Lillian. With a last burst of 45 ,she raised her head and began to 46 Lillian’s cut. With more strength than she had 47 in several weeks, she struggled to make Lillian feel 48 . Lillian’s last gift to her dying friend was to 49 . Actually, Lillian just sat there to accept Ashley’s 50 and gentle cleaning quietly.
51 then, I have witnessed the same phenomenon several times. Dying rabbits take care of the wounded rabbits, who give by allowing 52 to be cared for. I’m just 53 to see animals show such pride, self-respect, and a sense of when to give and 54 to receive.
I think we human beings have to 55 this: sometimes receiving is giving.

He looked at us and said, “I 38 you could have met my dad. He was a big man and strong from pulling the nets and fighting the seas for his catch. When you got close to him, he 39 like the ocean. He would wear his old canvas, foul-weather coat and overalls with the rain hat 40 down over his brow. No matter how much my mother washed them, they would still smell of the sea and of fish.”
Frank’s voice 41 a bit as if he were back to his childhood. “When the weather was bad he would drive me to school. His truck was older than he was, which you could hear coming for 42 . As he would drive toward the school, I would shrink down into the seat hoping to 43 .”
“When the truck stopped, it would throw out a cloud of smoke. He would pull right up in front, and it seemed like 44 would be standing around and watching. Then he would 45 and give me a big kiss on the cheek and tell me to be a good boy. It was so 46 for me at that time.”
He paused and then went on, “I 47 that day I decided I was too old for a goodbye kiss. When we got to the school, he had his 48 big smile. He started to lean toward me, 49 I put my hand up and said, ‘No, Dad.”
“It was the first time I had ever talked to him that way, and he had this 50 look on his face. My dad looked at me for the longest time, and his eyes started to tear 51 . I had never seen him cry. He turned and looked out of the windshield. ‘You are right,’ he said, ‘You are a big boy --a man. I won’t kiss you any more.’”
Frank got a funny look on his face, and tears began to well up in his eyes as he spoke. “It wasn’t long 52 that when my dad went to sea and never came back. It was a day when most of the fleet stayed 53 but not dad.”
I looked at Frank and saw that tears were running down his cheeks. Frank spoke again, “Guys, you don’t know 54 I would give to have my dad give me just one more kiss on the cheek ... If I had been a 55 , I would never have told my dad I was too old for a goodbye kiss.”

阅读填空，没空不超过3个单词
Working women with young children often face a dilemma(进退两难的困境)of whether to keep working or to quit to take care of their children．Though the fact that married women work outside the homes has become a social trend, many people still expect mothers to stay home until their children are two or three years old．In my opinion, it’s unfair to deprive(剥夺)mothers of their right to keep working only for the reason of childcare．
Women also need a sense of achievement just like men．Working women often find it difficult to give up the chance of self-fulfillment(自我实现)and go back home to play the traditional role．The times that women should stay at home passed and we should not neglect(忽视)mother’s desire to seek further goals outside the home．
Besides, taking care of children is both parents’ responsibility(责任)rather than only mothers’．Children belong to both the father and the mother．So it is unreasonable to ask mothers to give up their jobs for childcare because it is also fathers’ duty．
Practically speaking, working mothers can help improve family finances．Though there’ll be extra expense for childcare service, working mothers have a steady income to help the family．Therefore, mothers’ working outside is good for the family, especially to those low-income ones．
In a word, to expect mothers to put childcare before everything is not practical in today’s society．Only if fathers and mothers cooperate can the problem of childcare be solved．
Motherhood is a career to respect
A WOMAN renewing her driver’s license at the CountyClerk’s office was asked to state her occupation. She hesitated, uncertain how to classify herself.
“What I mean is,” explained the recorder, “do you have a job, or are you just a...”
“Of course I have a job,” said Emily. “I’m a mother.”
“We don’t list ‘mother’ as an occupation... ‘housewife’ covers it,” said the recorder.
One day I found myself in the same situation. The Clerk was obviously a career woman, confident and possessed of a high sounding title. “What is your occupation?” she asked.
The words simply popped out. “I’m a Research Associate (研究员) in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.”
The clerk paused, ballpoint pen frozen in midair.
I repeated the title slowly, then I stared with wonder as my pronouncement (声明) was written in bold, black ink on the official questionnaire.
“Might I ask,” said the clerk with interest, “just what you do in your field?”
Coolly, without any trace of panic in my voice, I heard myself reply, “I have a continuing program of research (what mother doesn’t), in the laboratory and in the field (normally I would have said indoors and out). Of course, the job is one of the most demanding in the humanities (any mother care to disagree?), and I often work 14 hours a day (24 is more like it). But the job is more challenging than most careers and the rewards are more of a satisfaction rather than just money.”
There was an increasing note of respect in the clerk’s voice as she completed the form, stood up, and showed me out.
As I drove into our driveway, buoyed up (激励) by my glamorous new career, I was greeted by my lab assistants – ages 13, 7, and 3.
Upstairs I could hear our new experimental model (a 6-month-old baby), in the child-development program, testing out a new vocal pattern.
I felt proud! I had gone on the official records as someone more distinguished and indispensable (不可缺少的) to mankind than “just another mother.”
Motherhood... What a glorious career! Especially when there’s a title on the door.
