I always 41 a note explaining my Thanksgiving experience as a kid. I have received 42 from it than from any amount of money.

The bus is a usable form of transportation all over the world because we can easily take it to go everywhere. Also, we do not need to worry about danger on a long-distance trip. Now, we have comfortable buses in London. I would like to describe how comfortable they are. First, the number of seats on a bus has been reduced from 44 to 19. The reason why the number of seats is now 19 is that the seats have been changed to big and comfortable sofas.
Originally, they changed the normal seats to airplane seats and took out ten seats from the buses. However, every customer wanted to have a more comfortable seat on the bus when they went on long-distance trips, so they changed them to sofas. Also, the owners of the bus companies wanted to make more money, so they tr
ied to meet the passengers’ needs. They changed the airplane seats to sofas, so the number of seats is now 19.
As the new buses appear, the prices go up, too. The owners have many ideas, which you have probably never thought about before. Now they have bus attendants who serve water, snacks, newspapers, and towels.
Also, you can change the direction and the height of the sofa to make yourself more comfortable, and there is a service bell on each sofa. Moreover, some companies show movies on the buses. In addition, when you go on a long-distance trip, they have luxurious(豪华的) buses that have an LCD screen on each seat. That is not the only surprising thing on the bus. They also have different TV channels, movie channels, and seventy TV games for killing time while you are on the bus.
【小题1】How many airplane seats did they put in a bus originally?
A.10 seats. | B.19 seats. | C.34 seats. | D.44 seats. |
A. they can take up less space B. they can hold more people
C. passengers can feel more comfortable D

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle t miles to my company, but unfortunately there is a big hill on my way. He replied, “You are 1 .” He explained that I should be thankful for the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to 2 as I approached it, but now I think that this hill will exercise my heart and lungs and it will 3 me to lose weight and get fit. This hill is my friend. I even feel sorry for those who 4 to go to a gym and sit on exercise bicycles 5 I can get the same value for free.
We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a university 6 . She wrote, “Character cannot be developed 7 . Only through experiences of trial and 8 can the soul be strengthened, ambition 9 and success achieved.”
One of the main factors of success in life is our attitude towards adversity (逆境). 10 we face hardships, problems and difficulties. We cannot 11 the adversity, but we can choose our attitude towards it. Douglas Bader was twenty-one when he had both legs cut off following a flying 12 . He was determined to fly again and became one of the leading 13 in Britain. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone 14 tells you that you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Go to school, and join in all the games you can. Make up your mind, and you’ll succeed.”
Great people rise from adversity. Their common quality is that they did not become 15 in face of adversity. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge and they won.

There once was a place 36 all the people were happy and 37 . Everyone was friendly and neighborly. Even the dogs and cats 38 together.
Then one day a stranger was seen 39 toward the village: a tall, tall stranger. As the stranger, who was a giant, 40 closer and closer, the people all ran into their houses and wouldn't come out.
The giant 41 the village. He was enormous, towering over everything. 42 a little girl stepped out on her porch. She jumped down from her porch. Her family yelled, "STOP! COME BACK! That's a giant!" But she didn't stop. She began to walk 43 the giant.
The strangest thing 44 . As the child walked toward the giant, he grew 45 . Soon he was the same size as the girl. As she came beside the giant, she 46 him. She stooped down and gently 47 the giant up in her hands, asking, "What's your name?"

And when people are afraid of me, I suddenly grow into a giant and everybody runs away from me. YOU are not afraid of me, so I stayed small. Do you 49 it? It's crazy! Please help me!"
"I can take you for a walk through our village," the girl responded. "I want everyone to hear of your problem. When they know the truth, they will no 50 be afraid of you. While we are going from house to house you can look at me 51 , and then you will stay the same size as you are now.
